Household Economy.

From “How to Live on a Thousand a Year,” in Table Talk: Besides the purchase, care and preparation of food, one must remember that there are a hundred other ways of economizing in the household. Time, to the housewife, is money, consequently, purchase such material as will save both. One cannot afford to beat eggs with a fork, when, for ten cent <, a bea'er can be purchased that will do the work in one-tenth of the time. A farina boiler is a necessity, as there is no danger of scorching and wasting food. A meat chopper and ' braisingpan enable one to use the cheaper pieces of meat. There are many other machines which are of great use in intelligent hands, but, as women are not machinists, many excellent machines come to grief from lack of understanding. All unnecessary or fancy utensils should not be indulged in.
