About the ....House SIX LiITTLE PU'DUINOS. It is a very old aivd trite saying' that "the proof of llic pudding is in the entinij." In many coses, the testLmony is deaily bought, tspeci- ally when the onus probundi, or,, burden of proof, rests upon th« digestive organs like unto a. night- mare. It has its enticing (lualitios, however, has the pudding, and the average man and woman, are readily inclined to admit that with all its faults they love it still. Pure and fresh ingr.'dients are the necessary basis of a good pudding, as indeed they are of all othei- dishes. (Jiven these, the cook must be looked to for the rest, an<l upon the result which attends his or her elVorts must the verdict depend when "the proof" is all in. Danish Puflding.â€" Put into one and a half pints of cold water, half a teacupful of pearl tapioca and let it soak for ha'f an hour, after which boil it until clear and soft, which will take about an hour, stirring frequently while boiling; add a quar- ter of a teacupful of sugar, half a tumbler of currant jelly and a little salt, steadily stirring until all the jelly is dissolved. Put into fe mold and serve cold with cream and sugar.

Cover these with another tablespoonful of the batter and steam for twcnty minutes. Spanish Pudding. â€" Put two ounces of butter and a little salt in a pint of water, and when it comes to a boil, add as njuch flour as will make it to the consistency of hasty pud- ding. Keep it stirred. After it has been taken from the fire, and has become cold, beat it up with three eggs and a little grated lemon peel and nutmeg. Prop the batter with a spoon into the frying pan with boiling lard and try quickly. Sprinkle with sugar before sending to table. Sweet Potato Pudding. â€" Mix with one pound of sweet potatoes, grated raw, half a teacupful of raolusses. two beaten eg-gs, one taVjlc-.spoonful of butter, with two tablespoonl'uls of sugar and enough milk to make a thin mixture; add one teaspoonful of ginger and spice to taste, liake one and a half houi's.

Bake two houi's. twelve ounces of mashed potatoes with two ounces of chopped suet, two ounces of grated cheese, and season with pepper and salt. Ktir this all together with a gill of milk and. If eggs are cheap, use two well beaten (yolks only). Put all into 1 11 buttered dish, set in a good oven. 1 Wien the top is of a golden color the puflding is cooked. Boast Tenderloin. â€" Take two ten- deiloiiis of pork and split length- wise, but do not entirely separate the halves. Over one tenderloin place a dressing of bread crumbs, a little onion juic-e and sage and sea- son with butter, pepper and salt.

Put a small piece of butter and a table- spoon of brandy in a dish; pour over them the sugar and eggs just Ix-fore serving.

HINTS FOR nmiv If the hands are rubbed on a stick of celery after peeling onions, the smell will be cntirel.y removed. A cloth wrung out of hot vinegar and _water and laid on the forehead as hot as can be borne will often relieve a headache. If a boot or shoe pinches in an.y particular part, a cloth wrung out of very hot water, and laid over the place, while the boot is on the foot, will expand the leathet and give re- lief. Persons with gouty tendency will derive benefit from eating an apple the last thing at night; it .should, of course, be thoroughly imasticated. A very little salt eaten with it will aid digestion. The moment you leave your bed, or bath, is the best time to shave. Always wipe your razor clean, and strop it before putting it away, and always put your shaving brush away with the lather on it. Gilding Is often utterly removed from china by the u.so of soda in washing it. Use soap instead of soda when wa.sliing your jjretty tea- cups, etc., and they will retain their beauty as long as they remain un- broken. Poison from bees, hornets, spider bites, etc.. may be instantly aiiX'sL- ed by the application of equal parts of common salt and bicarbonate of soda, well rubbed on t/he surface af- fected. Ordinary mud is also a quick and oUicacious factor in alla.v- ing the pain and inlIair<mation. It when you are baking anything the oven gets too hot, jjut in a ba.s- in of cold water instead of keeping the door open. This cools the oven and the steam rising from the water pi'events the contents from burning. When cooking in a gas oven a basin or tin of water should alwa.vs be kept in the oven. If your kitchen range or stove has got spotted with grease while cook- ing, and you cannot get it to pol- ish, a good wa.v to remove it is as follows: â€" Take a little hand brush, preferably the one used for brushing ACUTE IN-DIGESTIGN. A Trouble That Causes Untold Suffering to Thousands Through- out Canada. •â- 1 suffered so much with acute in- digestion that I frequently would walk the floor through the long nights,'' said Mrs. Thomas \ incent, residing at \>8 St. I'eter street, Uue- bec. '•! bad been afflicted with tlie trouble," she continued, "for up- wards of twenty years, but it was only during the past year that it as- sumed an acute form. There were times when 1 was almost distracted; everything I «te disagreed with me and the pains in the region of the stomach were almost unbearable. When the attacks were at their worst my head would grow di;'./.y and would throb violently, and sometimes 1 would experience severe attacks of naut5ea. As time went on I was al- most worn out either through abstin- ence from food or the havoc it wrought when I did take it. X tried many much lauded dyspepsia cures, but they did nie no good. In fact I got nothing that helped me until my nephew urged me to take JL>r. Wil- liams' I'ink Pills, lie had u.sed them himself with the greatest benelit, and assured me that they wuuld help me. After I had taken three or four bo-\es of the pills there was some improve- ment, and I continued to take the pills regularly for about three months, and at the end of that time 1 found myself cured. 1 could eat a hearty meal and -eat it with relish; I slept soundly at night, my weight in- creased, and my constitution gener- ally was built up. I think Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills will cure any case of dyspepsia, if they are given a fair trial such as I gave them." Hr.

Hadwen, in sui)port of his contention that wait- ing mortuaries should bo pro\ided. These public mortuaries would be well-arranged and properly ventilat- ed buildings, comprising a hall for the bodies and separate apartments for infuclious and judicial cases. There would bo noiK! of the ghastli- ness of death, said Or. Iladwen, but friends would kco the bodies of their loved ones surrounded wilh flowers. In the hand of each reputed eorjise would be a bell, which would ring on the slightest movement of the body, and every possible appliance to ai<i in the work of re.".uscitation would be in readiness. A resolution in favor of the re- forms was carried. SOME FAJVIGUS BELLS. Accidents That May Spoil the Best of Them. The metal u.sed for a church bell is three parts of copper and one of tin, and this coniposilion is almost ar, old as the known history of man- kind, for it was discovered by Lay- ard in the bells of old Xlmeveh.
