Tie the ham in a clean cloth,and put it in- to a kettle with enough cold water to cover it. Bring it gently to the boil, put on the cover, and let it simmer For the bread, 1 take three St'OOpS of flour or 4 lbs, make a little hole in the middle, into which I put 1 tableâ€" spoon salt, 1-2 my yeast water (reserv- ing the other half for next time.) wat- er or milk so warm I can just put my {Inger in, and mix with my hand till the flour is in a stiff dough so it can be kneaded. 1 do this at night. (over warm and in the morning,r it will be light enough to mould and put in pans. The pans must be a little less than half: full. When even with top of pans, bake. and try your oven, as you would your sadirons. If it just sisses, it is right and the bread will he done in twenty-five minutes. Some flour takes more. water to wet it than do others, and if your oven is brisk it ensures a thin. crisp crust. Bread made in this way will never be sour, and the yeast must be reneWed every time you make bread, using the half that was re- served to raise with instead of the yeast rake as in the beginning. Try it and report. Always have some kind of; fruit with the lunch. If it is not possible to al- ways have fresh fruit, 3. small glass with a cover on it can easily be car- ried in the lunch box and some nice canned or preserved fruit will answer nicely. Care should be taken with the pastry intended for luncheon and juicy pies should he avoided, they are sure to cause trouble. Pickles are a very neâ€" cessary part of the lunch and are much relished by all. Graham, brown and whole. wheat bread can be substituted instead of always white bread or rolls. I use a pint of water drained from potatoes I have peeled and cooked for dinner, dissolve one yeast cake in it, add 1 tablespoon salt, 2 of granulated sugar and flour enough. to make a good hatter, writes Mrs. W. S. S. Cover close and set in warm plaoe to ferment,which will take four to six hours. \Vhen there are numerous air bubbles on toy, care must be taken that the water is not too hot, so as to scald the yeast cake. -v- , 7 L. over night in cold water, then trim off about one-eighth of an inch of the un- derneath part (to make it stand well), and saw off the end of the knuckle. Tie the ham in a clean cloth,and put it in- to a kettle with enough cold water to cover it. Bring it gently to the boil, put on the cover, and let it simmer very gently for two and a half to three hours. Set the kettle aside till the con- tents are quite cold, take out the ham, remove the cloth and carefully take off the skin, with the exception of a depth of two or three inches around the knuckle, the edge of which may be van- dyked with a pair of scissors.

Serve hot or During the. school months it is often necessary for Impils and teachers as well, to carry their lunches with them. Care should be taken to prepare them so that they will look as appetizing as possible, for acold luncheonat best,is a poor substitute for a warm dinner. The best thing for carrying lunches in are the boxes with‘ the. leather handles. These boxes can be had at any furnish- ‘lng store,and their cost is so small that they are within the rea'rh of everyone. Each article should be wrapped in oil paper, with a paper napkin folded neat- ly on to;), so that when the. box: is Op- ened the very appearance will ereate an appetite. If you have little pieces of meat left from the meal, save them, and by chOpping them fine and season- ing them well, it will make a. nice fill- ing for the sandwiches; it can be var- ied the next day by making a dressing of mustard, vinegar and sugar heated and mixed with the meat. The New England sandwich. Which consists of chOpped salt meat Spread with baked beans, is excellent for a. change. Buttered bread, or crackers Spread with cottage cheesepr the fol- lowing mixture may he used: Rub the yolk of one hard-boiled egg to asmooth paste with ateaspoonful of melted hut- ter, season with pepper and salt and work in a little grated cheese, spread onfivery thin slices, if bread is used. Deviled eggs are nice for lunches and are prepared as follows: Boil the eggs hard; leave them in cold water until they are quite cold, cut in halves; remove the yolks and rub to asmooth paste with a very little melted butter, it Sllrinkle of cayenne pepper, mustard and a small quantity of vinegar. Fill the hollow whites with this, place the halves together, wrapping each one in paper twisted at each end. Try and vary the luncheon as much as possible as one soon tires of the same things over and over. BE RID OF RED ANTS.

They are the back- ground that your whole decorative scheme rests on, and if they are rich and in harmony half the battle is won. . 2 Unless in a library where the walls are covered with bookcases from floor to ceiling. the mailer kind are not nearly somunh used as hanging shelves in L-a‘hane. fitted into the corners ]:‘retwork, or grille, with pendent curtains over the doorway or arch, adds very much to the looks of a room. Agra, denim, or Siberian linen drapes nicely and is very suitaoie as hang- ings for this purpose. The very latest way to hang curtains is to have a double rod and have each half across the other to about six in- ahles from each side; they are then tied back about two yards of the way up, much. higher than formerly.

The large majority are fitted with an- dirons for burning wood. A late fancy is to have fancy chairs in wood or wicker enameled abright green. Thiswould beagood scheme to rejuvenate soiled porch chairs of last summer and make them look like the latest style. One of the best rules for hangings is to have semi-transparent stuffs at the windows to admit light and medium- weigh‘t portieres to admit air. With the approach of and weather it is well to know that in washing woolenyâ€"woven undergarments, flan- nel petticoats and cashmere capes and dressesâ€"it is not wise to pour water upon the dry materials nor to rub soap upon them. Plunge the garments in a tub of hot. water. in which soap has been dissolved. The water should not be hotter than the hands can bear com- fortably.
