KEEP SCISSORS IN KITCHEN

Innumerable Ways In Which They May'Be of Far Greater Service Than the Knife. A pair of scissors in the kitchen are of invaluable assistance-—not the lamp scissors or the dull pair that la black with age, nor the garden pair, nor yet thosg with the missing points, but a jnew, sharp, shiny pair that will cut. It is a difficult matter, for instance, to remove the white pith from grape fruit with a knife; one digs and jabs, and finally cuts out the offending center and. Incidentally, makes a hole id the fruit through which the jnice scissors. A snip, a pull, and there it is without trouble or mutilation. And bacon! How few women can slice off the slippery rind, while with scissors every morsel can be quickly pared away without a vestige of waste. In cutting off the legs of a lobster, in breaking open the claws and cutting through the tail, the scissors will do the work uncomplainingly without the aid of the hammer and ice pick. In preparing vegetables they are Incomparable. Try them In cutting the roots from spinach, trimming rusty lettuce leaves, shaping flowerets of cauliflower, and cutting up asparagus. Dice up the pineapple with them, cut up the meat and fish for salads, remove the veins from shrimps, use them for the fish fins and save your fingers.
