Baked Indian Pudding.
A baked Indian pudding Is a des
sert , In which the old-time New Eng
land housekeeper took especial pride.
It Is doubtful If It can ever be served
in perfection without a brick oven. It
should be dark, rich In flavor, with a
quivering. Jelly-like substance mixed
through It, the result of long, slow
baking at a steady heat and succes
sive additions of milk during the bak
ing. Eaten with rich cream or with
maple sugar, if you wish, melted In
cream or with simple, sweet butter
this pudding is a culinary triumph.

Is resorted to in order to shorten the
time of Its preparation. It should be
baked at least six hours, if a steady,
slow heat can be maintained in the
stove. If possible, use the old proc
ess, not the kiln-dried meal usually
sold In city groceries. The "old proc
ess" meal can be obtained at mills
and is often sold at country grocery
stores. To make the pudding, stir Into
a pint of cold milk 7 even teaspoonfuls
of Indian meal. Add a teacup of mo
lasses, a half teaspoonful of salt and
a large tablespoonful of butter. Pour
another Dint of milk sealdlne hot over1

shell oysters and lay them In such a
position In the bottom of the collan
der that the liquor win not escape
from them when the shell opens
that is, with the upper shell down.
Cover with a cloth thrown over the
top of the collander, and press the lid
hard down upon this to exclude the
air. Set over a pot of boiling water
so deep that the collander, which
should fit into the mouth, does not
touch the water. Boil hard for twenty
minutes, then make an examination
of the oysters. If they are open you
are safe In removing the cover. Serve
on the half shell or upon a hot chafing
dish. Sprinkle a little salt over them
and a few bits of butter; but be
quick in whatever -you do, for the
glory of the steamed oyster Is to be
eaten hot.

Turkish Macaroni.
Break a half pound of macaroni in

boiling water. Keep at a fierce boil
till the macaroni is tender, then drain

tablespoonfuls of flour, one pint of
strained tomato and salt and pepper to
I taste. Drain and add the macaroni
and a half cupful of almond meats cut
into strips. Simmer fifteen minutes,
turn into a dish and sprinkle thickly
with grated cheese and a few almond
strips and serve.
Peach Betty.
Slice two cupfuls peaches. Butter
a baking dish and lay In it a layer of
the peaches, sprinkling with cinnamon
and sugar and dotting with bits of
butter. Place over this a layer of
bread or cake crumbs. Then alternate

by sponfuls Into hot fat and, fry a
golden brown on both sides. 'Drain
carefully and serve very hot. Garnish

and sliced lemons.
Old-Fashioned Biscuit.
An old-time recipe, for soda biscuit,
dating from the days when baking
powder was unknown, Is still used in
many kitchens of old residenters, and
with most admirable results. Given
experience and practice, the tiny,
spongy biscuit thus evolved Is as light
as the proverbial feather. A medium
dough is mixed at night of sour milk,
flour and a pinch of salt. In the morn-
Ing this Is rolled out on the moulding

Wholesome Coffee Substitute.
Potatoes provide a good coffee sub
stitute for those whose nerves will not
endure a strong coffee, yet whose pal

fee. Tn0 dry. yellow kind of potatoes
are best for this. Pare them, cut them
Into small dice, let them dry a day,
then parch them like coffee, grind nnd
keep them dry and dark. Mixed with
one-third of real coffee the result is
scarcely distinguishable from coffee.
Alone, the parched potato makes a
palatable drink, although lacking the
aroma of the berry.

Serve Green Cabbage.
To preserve the fresh greenish col-
or of cabbage, put a little soda In the
water in which it is boiled. About a

Roasting Meats.
All white meats gain in flavor from
a delicate onion admixture with the

put over the meat before it has Just
finished roasting and then blended by
basting. In this way one avoids tho
burnt onion slices, which sometimes
result from other methods, and which
have, in a way, caused the addition
of onion to be regarded with disfavor.
Celery Salad.
One boiled egg.
One raw egg.
One tablespoonful salad oil.
One tablespoonful white sugar.
One saltspoonful salt.
One saltsponful pepper.
Four tablespoonfuls vinegar.
One teaspoonful made custard.
Cut the celery into bits half an Inch
long and season. Eat at once, before
the vinegar injures the crlspness of
the vegetable.
Steamed Squash.
Cut the squash Into pieces and
scrape out the seeds and stringy part.
Place in a steamer over boiling water,
cover closely and cook until tender.
When done, remove from shell and
wash. To each pint allow two table-
spons butter, one level teaspoon sugar
and salt and pepper to taste.
Cover Frying Eggs.
If a cover Is placed over eggs when
frying they will not stick or need any
turning.

ently. To lose flesh rapidly can only
lie done at the cost of sacrificing phy
sical strength.
It Is through sitting property, ex
ercising nnd citing, or rather avoiding
certain kinds of food, that one nuiy
reduce weight, and the effort should
begin by learning to sit ho that the
hips will not bo too much enlarged,
and the abdomen disproportionately
developed.
Sit bnck so far on any chair that
the biuhII of tho back Is supported, for
If It Is properly braced, then the ab
domen enn not bo pushed forward so
that the weight which should be taken
by the spine Is forced on tho hips.
An exercise for reducing flesh on
the hips is extremely slmplo. It con
sists of standing with tho weight well
thrown forward, but still erect, while
holding the right arm high above tho
head.
Regularity for Baby.
Regularity Is the keynote to health
In a baby. Whatever Is dono for him
must always be dono at tho same
hour. He should havo his bath at the
same time, always be fed In thu sumo
way. at the stated hour; tho time of
being put to bed either for a uuu or
tor me night, should not vary live
minutes, and his airing must not bo
Interfered with. Haby Is distinctly u
creature of habit as well as of In-
stlnct, nnd unless he is allowed to do
the same things day after day he will
have Indigestion, Insomnia, bad torn-
per, cold. etc.
Cleaning Walla.
Tho very best material to clean wall
paper and fresco, painted or kulso
mined walls is stale rye bread. This
bread Is used In preference to any
thing else by artists to clean drawings
In charcoal. There are manufactured
wall cleaners which dot his work very
well, but they do tho work no better
than the old fushloned bread cleaner.
Whcut bread that la two or three days
old will do tho work almost us well
as the rye bread, which Is sold for tho
purpose.
Cleaning Limp Burner.
To save tho expense of buying new
lamp burners when they get blackened
and unsightly, boll them In swHt milk,
adding a little Colli Dust or soap, and
wash them with soda water. They
can be cleaned and used many times,
and will bo bright as new and give
a much better light. Instead of boil
ing tinware In soda water, as a friend
suggested, I take a wet cloth and dip
in dry baking soda and rub smoked or
black spots off. I can clean more tin
ware In less time and use less soda
In this way.
Good for Burnt.
' Equal parts of linseed oil and lime
water mixed and poured over the burn.
A cotton or linen cloth may be wrung
Out of the mixture and laid upon the
(wound. If. this preparation Is faithfully
used It will be found to remove pain
n (I give a great deal of comfort. Pure
glycerine Is a most excellent remedy
to uso. When first applied It causes
8martlng, but this soon ceases and
the actual pain from the burn is much
relieved. Glycerine is said to favor
I lipid healing. The soouer It Is ap
Uml after tho accident the quicker
good results will bo obtained.
j Home-Made Sachets.
Different odors for sachets may be
prepared by buying cypress powder,
which any good druggist shouM keep,
and scenting It. The essence or oil,
not extract, will be required f;r thls,
and a few drops will be enough. It
Is Impossible to give the quantity, for
the strength depends upon its purity.
The powder should bo sifted, and after
the oil Is dropped over the combina
tion, must be tightly cloned In u bot
tle for several days for the odor to
mingle.
Treatment for Sprains.
The best treatment for a sprain Is
rest. At the time of the accident, ap
ply hot cloths to reduce the swelling
and pain. If the skin is not broken,
apply, thirty drops of arnica Mi a
wineglass of water by means of linen
bandages. If the skin Is broken re
duce the amount of arnica to five or
ten drops. If any redness or Inflam
matlon occurs In consequence of us
Ing the lotion discontinue Its use.
Hard Soap.
One of our subscribers asks for a
recipe to make hard soup. Tho fol
lowing has been used with good re
sults: Take 12 gallons of soft water,
add 6 pounds of soda ash and 3 pounds
of unslaked lime; let It come to a boll
and then put in Jars; lot It stand one
day to settle; put back In the kettle
ahd add 12 pounds of grease; boll five
hours. I;t it stand one day, and then
slice out in cakes the size wanted.
If desired, add a few drops of sassa
fras oil or oil of bergamot to perfume
it.

SPELLING NAMES. ,
There Wag No Doubt About "Hannah"
When the Englnh Lady Flnlihid.
A bygone generation witnessed an
crliiiouloim controversy In the Irish
family of o'Conor In County Roscom
mon us to the right of any brunch of
thu undent ni co to spell the immn
thns-wlth one "n." That right, It
was maintained, was held only by the
O'Conor Hon ns bead of the house.
Ho prolonged was the coolest between
thu partisans of ' the O'Conor anil
O'Connor titles that It was called thu
"N-Iohs" (Htandlng for "endless") cor
respondence. Finally the qut'Klloii was
referred to Kir J. Bernard llurke, tho
I'lHtcr king of arum. His decision
coincided with a decision In a certain
other mutter-imiiii'ly, Unit much might
be mii Id on ell her side. The two dis
puting families had a common origin,
a king of Coiiniiught, nnd could with
propriety and In uceonlniiro with tra
dition spell the iiiup ' one way or thu
other. Fortllled by .jls "award," thu
two families tin ve continued to spell
their name with ono "n" up to thu
present hour.
Equally linn on thu question as to
how his tin mo should bo spelled was
the witness In a case tried In tho
king's bench a few years ago. Asked
his name, bis prompt reply was 'uhn
'Awklns." "Iio you," queried counsel,
"spell your iiaiuu with or without ait
II?" The emphatic answer was,
"J o h n." As a rule, however, s we
have suld. variety In thu spelling of
the names of people, as In that of the
names of places, owes its origin to
people not being ho clear in was our
friend regarding how u tin inn should
be spelled.
Two stories In Illustration of this
occur to us. In the first Mrs. Quiver
ful was having christened her lutest
baby. The old minister was a little
deaf, "What tin tun did you say?" In
queried. "I said," replied the mother
with soiuu asperity, "Hannah." "IM
you," sulil the other, "mean Anna
Hannah?" "Look 'ere." exclaimed tin
now thoroughly exasperated lady, "1
won't be hexiiiulued In this way. I
mean 'I I nltch liay -hen-hen hay haltch'
Haunah!" Thu second Incident to which we re
rcr is i n 1 1. lieru also tlirre wan "a
lady In (Me case." Shu was ou an er
rnnd. and she had to deal with tin
uniiie of another party. In-brief, sin
had bought a pair of sleeve links for
her Hume when thu shopman asked.
"Any Initials, miss?" The rest may I
tuted tuns: ,
Khu-Oh, yes; I forgot. Engrave u
"V" upon them for his first name.
Shopman-pardon me, Is it I'rlali oil
