. A KITCIIEN CONVENIENCE.
A kitchen convenience which is not
ireselit in every household is: a palr of
iarp scissors. Scissors are use(d to
rim lpwie!---wich is wrong-and
:o cut papers and string: but seldon
or trimin:lig bacon :nd ham rinds.
kinning parts of fowls which need
kinning. and irimming salads. These
ire proper uses for scissors. an( tie
use of them saves nuch labor.
FIVE MINUTE RESTS.
Every housewife should cultivate the
labei of live-minute ins. After work
g hard a few hours a woman is' apt 1
o feel sleepy or "dragged out." and im
tgines that i is only that ordinary
il of the iieosh-laziness. But if she
jives in to the feeling and rests a short
ine on a comfortable lounge she will
feel wonderfully freshened and will do
etter and quicker work thau if she
had Loregone her cat nap.
A USEFUL IIINT.
Wk.( do not often soee the old-fash
Niled base burner. Did it ever occur
to any one th:t th a shpan coul be
utilized to cook Boston baked beans,
Indian puddin.. or an. other dfiSh re
quiring long. slar cooking? The ashes
ould i emptied, of course. and the
fond has to be -arsifully covered so thiat
ashes fromi above shiali not drop into
it b1.akin'- dish. The plan has been
tried suce-sfu tlly- i one hiouselicd, at
least.
Spk-ed Wafers-Cre~tam together two
thirds of a cupful of butter and one
and one-hailf cupfuls of confectioners'
sgar: add one-half teaspoonful each
of ground ginger and cinnamon and
.ust a dash of ground cloves. Stir
into the mixture one-half cupful of
cold water and twa~ cupfuls (if flour,
sifted twice. '.o to wafer thinness,
ut into shapes anid hake in a very
moderie oven.
Ba nana Pie-Free enough ha nana s
from skin and course threads to fill
a eupi when the pulp is pressed through
a sieve or ricer. To the pulp add a
beaten egg. one-half cupful of sugaur,
one crneker, powdered fine, one-half
tespoonful of salt. onec-third of a tea
sponful of cinnamon, twvo tablespoon
fuls of miclasses. one-third of a cupful
of cream. and one-half cupful of m1t1I:
mix thoroughly, and bake until firm
-a pie pani lined witi p)astry as for
squash pie.
Cup Omelet-An odd dish that will
he foutnd very appetizing for breakfast
is a cup omelet. Butter six custard
cups aind till lightly with soft bread
rtnbs and any nice cold ment,
chopped line, with plenty of savory
seasonings, such as the family like.
Beat three eggs: add one cupful of
milk, pour gradually into the cups. us
ing more mnilk if required: set the cups
in a pan of water and bake (or steam)
until firm in the centre. Serve in the
cups or turn out on au platter. These
savory custards are delicious made en
tirely out of breaderumbs and seasou
inge. omitting the meat.
Rice Waffles-One and one-half cup
us of soft boiled rice, two ounces of
butter, one pint scalded milk, three
eggs, one teaspoonful baking powder,
one-half teaspoonful salt, one table
spoonful wheat flour. Use cold, well
mashed rice, melt the butter in the
milk which has cooled. beat the egg
yolks and wvhi tes sepaurately. making
the latter comne to a stiff froth: mix the
rice and milk. heat thoroughly, and
then addl one-half teaspoonful salt and
ote of baking powder. and the lottr;
putt the yolks into the hatter, first
blending well, and, lastly, addl the
whites and heat well again. Use an
extremely lhnt, well-greased watle
irnt. Pour the hatter from a pitcher,
and fill the iron qiuickly, elose quickly.
andl set on tihe fire. Two minutes
should he all the time required to make
Swatlie nicely. Rtemov-e carefully,

"My experience has been that. in

te gravel road. Time stone road Wears
tiown more evenly. aind will outlast
ie best of gravel roads. That is. al
ays, of course, if the stone road is
roperly mnadme.
"Ini the first place, the roadbed
hould be at least ten inches deep.
The lower six inches deep. The lower
ix iniches should be of the larger
tones. though these should be of a
size that would pass through at two
nh screenl. The upper four inches
hold be smaller stone. that which
ill pass through an inch or an inch
nd1 a half screen. This should bec
aked with a steam roller. atnd with
proper dratinage at the side this will
nake an excellent road. If good rock
s available, that is. within hauling
istance, the cost will be about $2000
