THE KITCHEN CABINET.

To Cook Eggs With Curry.— Mix one teaspoon curry powder, 2 tablespoons flour, one-half teaspoon salt, one-half teaspoon paprika, and add to one-half tablespoon minced onion, browned in two tablespoons butter, six hard boiled eggs which have been cut in quarters are put in after ons cup milk has been slowly added. When all is hot serve on platter with border of hot rice. Macaroni Beads Take macaroni and with sharp scissors cuf in short lengths; give to the children to string as beads. It will prove highly entertaining and, unlike glass beads, these are harmless if they find' the way into little mouths. New Custard Pie Rule Perhaps 6om*e reader will like, my custard pie recipe made from evaporated milk. One cup sugar, 2 eggs, pinch of salt, 1 cup evaporated milk, 1 cup cold water, 1 teaspoonful vapilla. Cream sugar and eggs together, and salt, then milk and water and beat hard; to this add vanilla. Put in a pan and heat on the stove for five minutes; then pour into crust and bake in rather hot oven until custard is thick. Smooth Custard tards or cream filling, I mix the sugar and flour dry, then beat in the eggs thoroughly before adding the milk. My custards are as smooth as velvet and never curdle. Whole Egg Salad Dressing One teaspoon of sugar, 1-2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground mustard and a pinch of cayenne pepper, 4 even teaspoons of vinegar. Mix dry Ingredient, then add vinegar. Beat one whole egg with dover egg beater, add ingredients. Beat hard and add salad oil until thick. Have dish and oil cold before starting. Strawberry and Rhubarb Jam Take half berries and half rhubarb with as much sugar as fruit. Scald rhubarb with boiling water and add sugar. Boil five minutes. Add berries and cook until it thickens when a little Is tried on cold To Clean White Kid Gloves—Place on hands, wash In gasoline and corn meal; rinse in clear gasoline. When dry the kid is soft and white. Italian Macaroni Break up the macaroni and boil it about twenty minutes or until it is tender. Fry slices of pork in a spider, and cut into it an onion or two and fry- Add to the boiled macaroni a little stewed'tomato and stir the whole together. This mixture evolves the toothsome macaroni a la Italienne. If preferred use butter Instead t>f pork. Cleaning Silver To clean silver use an aluminum kettle and to every quart of water add one tablespoon of salt and one of soda. Boil the silver pieces in this and tarnish will disappear and will look like new.

HOW WALLS ARE KEPT CLEAN THROUGH WARMTH.

The reason that lath and plaster walls become streaked is explained by John Aitken in Nature as due to the tendency of hot air to deposit its dust on cold surfaces; and the colder the surface the weaker the power of resistence. So where the laths protect the plaster from the cold outside the plaster receives less deposit of dust than where it is between the laths. , Wherever a hot steam or water pipe comes through a wall a vertical sireak of dust may be seen above It due to the hot air driving the dust against the cold wall. Rooms that are heated by open grates are much less dusty than those heated by radiators, because in the former the furniture is heated principally by radiation, ar being warmer than the air, it repels the particles of dust Instead of catching them, while In the latter the air heats the furniture and in so doing deposits its dust on it. Rooms lighted by electricity keep clean longer than those heated by gas, simply because the light Is almost cold. -i Mr. Aitken sums it up as follows: ‘Any surface hotter than the air keeps > free from dust."

Strawberry Dumpling.

Put together one cup sugar, one tablespoon butter, two and one-half cups capped strawberries and two cups boiling water and let simmer a few minutes. While berries are cooking make a batter of one cup flour, two teaspoons baking powder, onefourth teaspoon salt, one beaten egg and enough top milk to make a stiff batter, about one-halp cup. Drop batter in eight portions in the boiling syrup, cover tightly and boil tor twenty minutes without removing the lid. Serve hot with the sauce.

Browned Tomatoes.

Cut tomatoes in halves, lay them cut side up and cover with green peppers and onions chopped fine. Moisten bread or cracker crumbs with melted butter and put a layer over aIL Place pan In oven and let them brown.

Fruit Cake Hint.

In making a fruit cake, pour half the batter in the pad before adding the fruit; then the fruit will not he found all at the bottom of the cake, as Is too often the way.—Dallas News.

The Preparation of Vegetables

In these harrying days of modern progress, efficiency is ever the slogan of the busy housewife. She realizes that it Is on the golden moments that she must first economize if she would reap a later harvest of the ever necessary dollars, and what is still more valuable, her own peace of mind. In housework there are countless , tasks which each day must be done anew, and now most of these are being reduced to their least common denominator which in this case means the least number of motions in their accomplishment. Of these daily tasks, preparing the vegetables for cooking is one of the most irksome. In many households this is still done by the slow methods of other days, but most modern housewives look eagerly for new methods and means. Every kitchen should be provided with an inexpensive potato parer, which by means of a crank easily pares all but the most uneven potatoes. This little machine can be also used for paring such vegetables as carrots and small white turnips. Then there are other vegetables which are pared easier after cooking, such as parsnips, celerias, and salsify, needing only to be well scrubbed with a vegetable brush before boiling. When they are done and partially cooled, they can be pared in a jiffy with a sharp knife, going, round and round the vegetable never up and down against the grain of the fibrous skin. The partial cooling of these vegetables does not injure them as they are usually creamed or fried after boiling anyway. Everyone knows that a Hubbard squash to be good must have the hardest of outside shells, and it is just this hard shell that makes difficult the preparation of this vegetable for cookin. Here the vegetable brush again comes into use, for scrubbing the squash well before it is cracked open and the. seeds removed. The pieces are then put on to boil, shell and all, and when tender, drained and cooled, the flesh is easily lifted from the shell with a case knife. It takes but a moment to mash, season and reheat with a little butter added. How many times have I seen otherwise good housekeepers stand and cut up string beans for cooking! They cut them in small pieces one at a time, using their thumb for a cutting board, leaving it criss-crossed with tiny black lines, besides losing valuable minutes in the process. Every kitchen should boast a small cutting board made of hardwood. After the beans are strung, place them on this board in bunches, cutting a number at once at each stroke of a sharp knife. In this way it takes but a moment to prepare a quantity. The cutting board is also useful to cut celery for salads. Take four or five stalks at a time, cq) them in small lengthwise strips, and then crosswise in pieces the same as the beans. Carrots and turnips can be cut in the same way, and also parsley, although some use scissors especially made for the last.

Apples for cooking can be pared in one swift turn of a wheel if an apple parer » used. This has much the same mechanism as the potato parer, and* is about the same in price. And speaking of apples, I must tell of i friend I watched making her winter’s mincemeat. She did not pare the apples at all, simply cored them, and put them through the fine blade of the food chopper. She held that the best part of the apple is directly under the skin, as of most fruits and vegetables. When the mincemeat was finished she defied me to tell whether the apples had been pared or not, and I confess I would not have known if I had not witnessed the operation This same friend when paring onions for boiling, immersed them in a large pan of water to keep the fumes from rising. She said she sometimes placed a piece of bread on the end of her paring knife for the same purpose. So it is not alwltfs the latest most up-to-date product of the manufacturer that helps in.this form of ever-mo-notonous work, it is sometimes just the “know how.” Still the wise housewife watches the shops for new things and adds them to her kitchen equipment as soon as she is sure they are dependable.—The Housewife.

Peonies on West.

Peonies on the west side of the house, if the outlook permits of It, is a good place to make your peony border, as this will make a good foundation screen as well, writes'a contributor to Woman’s World. Peonies should have a sunny location. Some good ones are Asa Gray, lilac; Dr. Galliot, rose; Felix Caroussa, red; Festiva Maxima, white. If the border for these Is especially prepared, dug two feet deep, ana drained, it will need little or nothing done to It for two years. Do not set the plants too close—three feet at the start will cause the plants to touch at the end of six years. Annuals may be put in Intervening space until ft is covered by peonies. Any of the lilies, gladioli or Iris Germanics would answer the purpose.

HERE'S FRECKLE CURE.

Horseradish Root and Buttermilk Will Do the Trick. Trecklee and sunburn are the greateat drawbacks to beauty hi the summer time. Both come directly from the sun’s rays and must be treated carefully in order to effect a cure. In the case of freckles It is sometimes Impossible to cure them altogether, though these ugly brown spots may be lightened considerably if the right treatment is given. Of course all sorts of lotions, are put on the market, and advertised as freckle cures, but few of them do the work they guarantee to dp and some of them are harmful. Right In one’s own home It Is possible to-compound a very efficacious cure and one that will not do any Injury to the complexion. Horseradish root and buttermilk mixed together and applied to the brown spots will do much to lighten their color. Grate a fresh horseradish root very fine, cover with fresh bnttermilk and let stand over night Strain through cheesecloth and wash the face night and morning with the resulting liquor. Another simple home remedy which Is very good is lemon juice. Squeeze the juice of a lemon into half a glass of water and use two or three times a day as a face wash. Or dissolve in lemon juice as much sugar as it will bold and apply with a soft brash frequently until the freckles disappear. Sunburn and tan, while painful, are not so difficult to break as freckles. While the skin is irritated apply milk of almonds, which will soothe and relieve the soreness. A simple way to remove the tan is to apply peroxide of hydrogen to the darkened parts of the skin. Apply with the palm of the hand and do not dry with a towel — allow to dry on the face.

MODERN METHODS TAKE AWAY BLUE MON DAYS.

The modern clothes boiler was once considered to be as important to the washing as the rubbing hoard, but that was before women had come to realize the purifying qualities in nature’s great whitener —the sun. Although at one time the boiling of clothes was deemed necessary to keep them white, there are those today who think that it has the opposite affect, and that unless they are boiled Just the correct length of time, the process does not improve the color. Those who have tried both ways declare that the clothes are fully as white when they are washed thoroughly, rinsed and hung in the sun to dry as when they are boiled. A washing machine is not only a great convenience, , but enables one to use boiling water to wash the clothes, which would not be possible if they were washed with the hands on a board. Not only does this process of washing save a great amount of work that has made a bugbear of .washday, but it prevents the unpleasant steam and odor from the work which easily permeated every part of the hpuse and told the story all the morning that “this is washday.” Lifting of clothes from the boiler has always been one of the hardest and most unpleasant features of the washing. This and filling and emptying of the boiler are all done away with by the non-boiling process and the whole labor lightened so that many women do not look upon laundry work as a necessary hardship which they thought they must endure, but they see It now as no harder than many other lines of the week’s work.

Scotch Cooking Recipes.

Scotch Mutton Broth—Two and a half quarts water, one quarter pound barley, one pint green peas, one small turnip, 1 small cauliflower, two carrots, a little parsley, one onion, two pounds mutton, pepper and salt to taste. Prepare vegetables by cutting them Into small pieces. Put the meat into pot when the water is cold. Skim well when it comes to the boiling point, then add the vegetables and simmer for three hours. (Sufficient for five people.) Puree Nivemaise —Two and one half quarts stock, two ounces butter, six potatoes, three leeks, three turnips. Cut up vegetables and slice very thin, melt the butter, add vegetables and stock; boil until they can be rubbed through a fine sieve. Return to the saucepan and warm up, then add one half pint cooked mixed vegetables made hot, eighteen brussels sprouts cooked, and one half gill cream. Not to be boiled after the cream is added. (Sufficient for four or five people.)

Paper Protection for Crib.

Rubber sheeting wears out quickly, table oilcloth does the same, when used as a crib protector, but if one has or can get some pieces of washable wall paper, these may be used under the blankets and over the small mattress to keep it dean and intact from moisture. When one piece gives out another can be substituted, and one roll of paper will last for the rearing of a whole family of babies.

Barley Water.

One pound peaii barley, one quarter pound lump sugar, three lemons. Well wash bailey, peel lemons very thin, add juice and rinds. Pour on one gallon boiling water, let stand It hours. ->■’ Many a married man would starve to death if his wife didn’t knew haw In manipulate a Caa opeaer.
