Two Gintrorbread Jlecipes. â€" Soft ngerbread : One-half cupful but- r creamed ; one cupful brown a-a- %9,T, two eggi, one cupful molas- ics. one cupful sour milk, three iupfuls f!our, one teaspoonful soda lissolved in milk, ens teaspoonful ringer, one teaspoonful cinna.-non. Bake in a moderato oven. This will make two. Hard sringerbread : One cupful of shortening, one cupful brown su- gar, one e^g, one cupful molasses, three-quarters cupful hot water, one even tablespoonful of soda dis- solved in hot water, one even table- spoonful of ginger, flour enough to roll out soft as po-sible. Bake in a moderate oven. This is nice made into cookies and adding one tea- spoon cinnamon. Boston Crown Bread.â€" One cup- fu.' corn meal, two cupfuls graham flcur, one-half cupful of New Or- leans molasses, one teaspoonful _ baking soda dissolved in one cup- ful baking soda disiiolved in one •cupful of sour milk, one-half tea- spoonful of baking powder, one half tea-<pooaful of salt. Beat thorough!/, bake I hour and 15 min- utes in a moderate oven. Good and easilf made. Oraha.ii Bread â€" ^Two cupfuls sour milk, one-quarter eupful sugir, four tablespoonfuls of molasses, one cupful of white flour, two and (kib- half cunfi.'ls graham fiour, two teaspoonfuls of soda, one-half tea- spoonful of salt, three tablespoon gar in place of salt for black, pur pie, and heliotrope. Linen suits and shirt waists should be washed in hay water, made by pouring boil- ing: water over hay, and they will keep their color for a long time. One ounce of sugar of lead dissolv- ed in a pailful of water will set al- TEost any color, and is especiallv good for blue prints. Soak the goods for two or three hours, and Ist dry in the ahade before wash- ini, with soap and water. Do not try to boil tinted or figured goods, and do not use washina; soda or strong soaps when washing them. If they are much soiled a handful of s-ilt thrown into the water will spt the colors. Use warm or nearly oold water in which to soak these gcotls. It is much better than hot water, and the dirt loosens quite ais readily. Home-made Soap. â€" This soap is simple and only takes one-half hour to make. Five pounds of drippings, one can of lye, costing 10 cents, one- half pound of bora.x, costing 5 cents, and one-half cupful of am- monia at 2 cents. Take your lye, dilute it in six cupfuls of cold water. Then add your borax and house- hold ammonia after the lye is thor- oughly dissolved. Have the fat melted, but not hot. .Idd tho lye raLxture to the fat, stirring slowly with a long stick for eL^ht minutes. Then you will find it gets like hou iii{r it with apple sauce covered with whipped cream. Try making a layer hickory nut cake, and fill and cover it witih whipped cream. Oatme&l is really best if cooked over night, and in many careful families this is done. If a lamp wick does not move easily in the holder, draw out one or two threads from one side. As served in many families, the cereal is thick, lumpy and, if the tru.th were known, indigestible. Cut celery in two-inch lengths, fringe each, and leaving a half-inch in the centre, use as a garnish. Make a laver of chicken by press- ing first a dark strip of meat, then a light one, and finally dark again. Dry salt and a brush will tike dust off from velvet, plush and heavy embroidery that ca.nnot be washed. Lvcn a dish cloth may prove ex- pensive ; if dirty it may cause ty- phoid ; if linty it may clog the plumbing. When you make diicken salad next time try using canned peas, cucumbers or sliced apples instead of celery. Frost cranberry pie sometimes, instead of using an upper crust, and sec if you don't like the dif- ferenoo.
