C1I0I0B BECIPE8. Aitle and Almond 1'uddino. Toko about thrco pounds of apples, two ounces of sweet aIuionds,ono gill of cold water, tho whites of two oggs, four ounces of flno sugar and a littlo lotnon or orango marmalade. Put tho water and thrco ounces of sugar in a preserv ing pan nnd stir till it boils ; put eight of tho apples, pooled and corod but not split, into tho syrup, and cook till soft, but do not let them break. Lift tho ap ples carefully on to a flat dish, and fill thnt part whero tho coro was taken out with marmalade. Pare, coro and stow tho rcmaindor of tho apples till soft, then press all through a wiro siovoj pilo this pulp over tho apples, and mako smooth with n knife. Beat tho whites of tho eggs to a very stiff froth, sprinklo in half an ounce of tho sugar, and spread this froth all over tho ton of tho npp!os, Drcdgo on tho remainder of tho sugar and stick tho almonds previously put in boiling wator, ttkimmed nnd cut in long, thin strips very thiokly and neat ly all over tho whitos of tho ogcru. Put tho pudding in a slow oven until tho al monds tako on a dolicato golden tinge, Uso hot or cold. How to Uroil. Heat and grenso a gridiron. Nover cook anything on a cold gridiron. Lay on the Btenk or other food, and cover with an inverted pan to keep in tho heat and flavor. turn often whilo cooking, but do not stick a fork into meat or juico will cscano. Do not add seasoning till you dish it. Fish and spring chickon should bo dredged with Hour boforo being placed on tho gridiron. Small things roquiro to bo cooked quickly ovor a clear, hot firo. Largo things, unless wished raro insldo liko boofstako, should havo a modorato boat at first anil in creased heat toward tho last. Among other ways of mnnacing this, tho gnu iron may first bo put a good distauco from tho liro and nitcrward moved nearer tho firo. Hick ou Hominy Choquetteb. Holl tho rico or hominy till well tlonot tlion allow to becomo perfectly cold. To a pint and a halt ndd a good pinch of salt, thrco wcll-bontcn eggs, ono spoon ful of milk, fluur enough to roll out in tho hands into forms and ono teaspoon ful of baking powdor. Havo ready a dcop frying-pan half full of boiling hot fat, drop tho croquottcs carofully in, fry till a rich brown, servo hot. Many a delicious dessert is nindo of rico, though of itself it is about as tasteless as an da table- can bo ; for that reason it seems undesirablo to servo it with, or as, a veg etable, as 80D10 do. Crumii Griddle Oakks. Tho night boforo using put somo bread crumbs to soak in ono quart of sour milk ; in tho morning rub through a siovo and add four well beaten epgs, two toaspoons soda dissolved in a littlo wator, ono ta blespoon melted butter and enough comment to mako them tho consistency of ordinary griddlo cakes. It is bettor to beat yolks and whitos soparatoly, stirring tho whites lightly in just boforo baking. ItiCE Bread. Kico bread makes a variety for tho Lrcakfost-tablo. Toko ono pint of well-boiled rice, half a pint of flour, tho yolks of four eggs, two spoon fuls of melted butter, ono pint of milk, a littlo salt and a largo spoonful of sugar. Beat all theso ingredients till very smooth, and then add tho beaten whites of tho four eggs. Bako in shal low pans and servo hot. Tne Home. "Home is not merely four square walls." There is something about theso two word, k'tho homo," that causes one's pen to falter and drop great inky tears of regret that it should bo forcod to in vado that sanctuary of sanctuaries, and prowl about amongst tho intangibles, that should not be approached even by tho roon audacious of pens. It might talk glibly enough of tho prevailing tone of tho parlor; suggtst changes in tho library, and even go so far as to criticise tho arrangement of tho dining- room, but the homo is not of these, not oven in all them, for havo not board ing houses the same? but it is tho place which holds that subtle, indiecribable sonso of rest and content that may pre- vade aliko a palaco or a cot, and th Pon, to its crodit be it said, hesitates and and begs to bo excusod, rihd succumbs at last only after boing plunged repeat edly into tho cold and pitiless ink. Thoro aro somo things, to bo sure, in this intangible world to bo talkcdabout; somo things that porhaps must soonor or lator bo agitated until such agitation bring reform. But ns tho world goes wo may rest assured thnt tho pioncorPcn or pens who puff and fumo and work diligently at such agitation will per- fumo a most thankless task, will bo callod cranks and all mannor of undesir ablo names, and when tho reform comes will bo entirely forgotten. But novcrtholc8s, liko tho porsevoring spider, theso Baroo Pons will keep right or scratching away, simply because woll, porlinps, because a pon, liko a lion, was nindo to scratch. And in both cases 8omothing is suro to como of it. So this nc n. and bv tho wav. a mis. cinbly stiff-backed and obstinate ono will probably go on scratching regard less of epithets or forgetful noss. rirst and iormost oi all dcsiraulo things for homo-making is mutual lovo and rcspoct. And theso thincH. liko raro exotics, require constant caro and culti vation. Thcro's a stercotypod set of rules bonr ing on this subject that havo boon going about tho papers since cvor I can ro mombcr. I read thorn but yesterday in Peck's Sun, I think, but I cannot find tho papor to-day or I should produco them cntiro. Howovcr tho substauco of tho wholo is of coureo advico to womon. "Kcop your hair always combed ; dress neatly and bocomingly, just as you did boforo marriago; always moot your Iiub band at tho door with a smilo," oto., etc. Very woll, but doos this do it nil? Hnvo you never scon pcoplo who woro tho embodiment of neatness nnd ordor, and who, notwithstanding, nindo very uncomfortable, unhomoliko homes for their fomilios? In ordor to bo a good homo-maker, ono must first havo n big warm heart. All things como easy after that. No matter if tho houso now and thon gots topsoy-turvoy, tho fathor will find a cosy eornor to rest in ; and tho children will como rollicking in, all tho bottor pleased with tho novelty of occasional confusion. Has tho homo-mother not sufllciont timo to dress her hair boforo preparing an early breakfast? Never mind, Bun on n big dust cap, bo cheery nnd smiling over a good breakfast, and baby will laugh at tho nbsurd frills, whilo tho nana will cnioy a "homo" fool ing that ho never dreamed of in tho days of courtship when leasuro insured tin ishod toilets. I do not wish to bo understood us ad vocating disorder, but I do alllrm that ovcry last ono of that old, much-printed sot of rulos can bo strictly lived up to, nnd yot tho homo bo found vcrv uu ploasant, and thostatoof tho family af fections vcrgo uncomfortably clo.-o to zero. Kindliness, unselfishness, cheerful noes, these with a littlo monoy aro tho things thnt go to tho making of a homey home. But thoro uro other things that tho Pen has begun that it will bo more tlinn llablo to scribblo about in tho days that nro to follow. Ilousckoeper. Every Car Talk. Il:a, W. T., March 15, '8 J. Editor Home Circle: I havo been thinking from timo to timo of trying to writo something that might interest someone. I will commence on tho unprncticnl subject of hog killing. Although it is past for this year. Still if wo live tho timo will roll around nnothor year. Thoro are the jowls you know ; how thoy will pilo up when a number of hogs hnvo been killed ; und when there is plonty of pickle pork and woll cured becon, jowls nro not much in domain!, oven in greens eoason. So I do not tnko tho troublo of salting them, but trim thorn closely nnd fry out tho slices a light brown, or until the lard is out of thorn. I pnek thnt away with tho rost of tho cracklings, which I stir up occasion ally with dough mado of shorts or corn meal, icasoned with poppor and baked into loavos for tho chickens in winter. Tho bones left aro boiled tender, or un til tho meat slipj off which makes another dish for tho chickons. Next I will speak of my way of frying potatoes. I hnvo heard a good many different methods in tho Farmer, but nono tills way. Put somo clear gravy or somo nice groaso from meat boiling, or a picco of butter in tho skillot hot. Havo ready freshly chopped potntoes; put in half tho potatoes, n littlo moro salt nnd pepper, cover tightly, stir sev eral times until thero is a light brown crust; dish up boforo they becomi too dry. This you will find nico for tu with cold meat, Mm. Geo. Bl'rkokd.

Within her downy cradle lay a littlo child, And a groupe of hovoring angels upon her smiled t A strife atoso among them, a loving, holy strife, Which should shod tho richest blcsiinps o'er the new born life.

Another gave her accents nnd a voioo as musical As a spring birds joyous carol or a ripling streamlets (all; Till all who heard her laughing, or her words ot cnimian t?raco Loved as much to hear her as to look upon her face. Another brought from heaven a clear and gentle mind, And within tho lovoly casket tho precious gem enshrined, Till all who know hor won Icrcd that Qod should bo so good As to blots with suoh a spirit our desert world and rudo.

Now Johnnio Green semis ono docs not tho namo mako ono think of tho distress of pussy cat in tho well. John Stout will bo writing noxt. Woll this lottor of John nio Grcons, is too good to put in tho wasto basket; ovon if thero is n doubt about its coming from a juvenile. Wo will givo tho littlo box tho bonofit of my doubt of its authorship. Alice would mako a good roal cstato dcalor, for alio displnys n good interest in Central Point, and I think tho placo will grow ; it ought to. Wo begin to notico tho groatcr number of pcoplo who now throng tho streets of Salem. Wo used to wondor what beenmo of tho hundreds ot pcoplo who arrived by steamships nnd cars. For many years thero scorned to bo no showing up ; hut now tho increasing business nnd busy streets tell of recent immigration. Lizzio comes from Central Point too. Wo know thoro mo somo bright girls tuore. Thoy must try to keep up writ ing. They must try and help make those entcrtainmonts interesting. Thero nro many nico piccos to bo found that if committed to memory would bo good to rccito at cntortainmonts of u literary nnturo, and clovnting as well as enter tainini;. It not only gratifios those who liston, but is of a greater benefit to thoao who tako a part. Wo always nro glad to hear of such affairs, it shows tho pcoplo of a town, to bo of educated peo ple. Dora docs her host to help keep tho lottor box full. Yes, snowballing has its fun, if it is not carried on too fur, ho as to annoy others. Wo should always bo careful to rotpoct tho rights nnd feel ings of others, and never willingly an noy others. Now somo childron will toaso others bccauso thoy hoo that it arouses nngcr. Thoro nro soma uho cannot easily control temper, nnd wo should bo careful not to vex such ns havo quick tempers. If each would try to mako others happy it would hnvo the effect of making onesolf happy. A cat is a groat pet if it is well treated ; but if tho broom is continually shown n cut, it will soon get to havo n sneaking look, You will nover seo a good mousor,or n cat with self-respect, when thoy aro al ways greeted with "scat!" every timo ono shows its hoad in tho room. Ono must mako n friend of a cat or n dog to havo them amount to nnything. Thero is groat comfort to bo had in tho lovo of domestic animals, and Hetty knows for sho has cured many n heartache with tho companionship and sympathy of her pets. Tho dogs nnd cats, pigeons and birds; tho liomu yard is full of their untimely grars. Dear childron al ways bo kind to all of Gods dumb ani mals. Powell's Valley, Feb. 2.J, 1887. Kditor Home Circle : This is toy first attempt to writo to the Farmer. I go to school, and try to get my lessons good. Wo havo loU of fun at school snowballing, but it is pretty cold. As the rest of tho little girls tell of their pots, I will tell of mine. I havo got a little Iamb and a cat. It can catch rats and mice and rabbi U, and brings them in for tho kittens. I wonld liko to seo moro letters from tho littlo boys and girls. I will send a riddlo : Patch upon patch, a liolo in tho middle, if you guoss this riddlo, I will givo you a gold fiddle. Woll, I havo writton a pretty long letter, but it will help fill up tho Letter Box, if nothing else. Hoping to seo this in print, I will closo. Your friend, Dora Williams. Umi-qua Ferry, Or., Feb. 10, 1887. Kditor Homo Circlo t Every ono is asking, why do you not writo to tho Farmer? Sol will wiHo onco and seo how n letter of mino looks in print, and in a paper. This is my first lottor, though many boys ot my sizo nover wroto ovon to n friond. Wo havo tho largest snow I over saw. In somo places it is thrco tcot deep, and in tho mountains sevon feet deep. A groat many sheep aro dying. Mr. Goo. Sham brook had a shed roof to givo way under tho great weight of snow, and crush a chopper and kill a cow or two. It gives Mr. 11. D. Thomas a good time to hunt cayotos with his Russian bloodhounds. I think tlioso who havo sheep that cay otcs kill would do well to got somo blood hound puppies of Mr. Thamns. Ho paid $100 for his when thoy were pup pios. Ho wont a long way for them I do not know whero. Ono of thorn killed n bear which hadrccolvcdn flesh wound. I nni afraid to let my littlo dog go out sido when thoy aro around. Thoy could do with him liko tho whalo did with Jonah. Somo of tho young men who do not liko to hunt geeso, ducks, oto., col lect wherever thoy can find room nul music, nnd havo what thoy call n good timo. But, Aunt Hotty,you don't dance, do you? Willio Emory killed thlrtoon ducks nt n siuglo shot. Don't I wish I was big onougu to shoot that way Aunt Hottio, would you not have been glad to havo hnd somo of thoso big fat t'reenhends for dinner? I do lovo ducks and somo of tho big boys do too, for I hoard them call their sweothenrta their littlo ducks. Cnl. Barnnrd has got too big to writo to tho Circle. I expect ho is as tall na my pa, now. Wondor why Bonnio Shambrook don't writo? Ho is as old as Cat, but is not any larger than I. Ho can writo better than any of us littlo boys. Aunt Hetty, pn says I havo writton enough far this timo. Ho enys there will not bo room for tho rest of tho littlo boys' lottors. Joiiknik Glir.KK. Central Point, March 2, 1887. Kditor Home Circlo i I nover wroto to your Homo Circlo boforo, eo I will writo yo.i a few lines about Contrnl Pnfnt. I nm going to school. Wo havo a splendid teacher, his nnmo is Mr. J. N. Hall.
