HOME HINTS. Dirty crockery should never be allowed to accumulate in the kitchen; the motto must be, "Clear as you go." Cake icing will not crack when cut if ft little thick cream is added to it. Allow one teaspoonful to each white of egg. If mustard is mixed with water that has been boiled and allowed to cool, it will keep its flavour and colour a long time. Tubs will not warp or crack open if the precaution is taken to put a pail of water into each directly after use. Orange peel, dried and grated, makes ft very fine yellow powder that is delicious fla- vouring for cakes and puddings. Dishes that have become brown from being left in the oven may be whitened and cleaned by soaking in borax water for a short time. To roast meat well it is necessary to have the joint frequently basted with melted fat, or the coagulated surface will allow the juices to escape, and a tasteless joint will be sent to table- Don't soak your fresh meat before cook- ing, even though the medium used is only cold water. Salted or dried meat may be treated in this manner, but the practice spoils all nutritive constituents in fresA. To cleanse brass pans that have not been used for some time, scour with salt and vine- gar to remove any sign of verdigris. Clean with a good polishing paste, then rinse out with plenty of hot water, and dry with soft cloths. Creamed Carrots.—Slice the carrots, and, after steaming, cut into small pieces, dredge well with flour, fry in about one ar two ounces of butter, add seasoning and boiling water to secure the thickness desired. Boil up and serve. Before using a new saucepan always fill it with water, add a lump of soda and some potato peelings, and let all stew for some hours; then wash out thoroughly, and all danger of poisoning from the tinned lining will be gone. To remove the smell of paint sprinkle a handful or two of hay with chloride of lime, and leave it in a closed room for an hour. Thie will remove the dissagreeable odour ef fresh paint, or at least render it less sicken- ing. Ginger Brandy.-For this the green gin- ger, procurable at some of the big grocers, is best. Bruise three or four pieces of gin- ger, put into a bottle with one quart ef brandy, and leave for a month tightly corked. Pour off the brandy and sweeten to taste with syrup. Cut off the hands and save the arms of your long kid gloves. Use them for polishing silver, mir.rors, cut-glass, and jewels. Cut of the tops of old tan or grey gloves you can make charming bags for carrying opera- glasses, etc. Cut the kid to the same pattern i as is used for silk or velvet bags, line with silk oljjjbny pretty colour, and trace your initiall^on the outside in water-colours or with embroidery silk. > Potato Pie.-Take medium-sized potatoes, slice, not very thin, in Cold water. Let them stand in this water fifteen minutes; take out and dry. Then place a layer of these in a pie-dish; pepper and salt and small lumps of butter; then another layer ef potatoes, etc., until the dish is filled. Over the last layer grate cheese. Then' add enough milk to cover them. Put in the oven and bake till done; about three-quarters of an hour. The value of hot milk cannot be too highly rated. When coming in tired from shopping a glass of hot milk can be taken where a meal would cause indigestion, and it will often induce sleep when a person goes to bed too tired and nervous to sleep otherwise. Milk should never be taken as a beverage with a hearty meal, and it should always be sipped slowly. If milk ie swallowed quickly the curd will form in large pieces, and be difficult of digestion. If fish is done before t is quite time to serve it, take it out of the water and place it on a strainer on a very hot dish, which should be set over the fish kettle. Dip ft clean cloth into the boiling water, spread it over the fish, place a clean tin cover over and leave it until about two or three minutes before it is required. Remove the cloth and put the fish back into the kettle for a minute or two, in order that it may be as hot as pos- sible. The water must be kept boiling all the time. Drain, dish, and serve rapidly. Greengage Preserve.—Place the fruit in a wire basket, immerse the basket in boiling water, and when the skins loosen take them out and peel them. Weigh the fruit, and allow one pound of sugar to every pound. Place a layer of the fruit in a large eartherm jar, sprinkle it with some of the sugar, then another layer of fruit and sugar, and when all is used, set the jar aside until morning. Draw off the juice, boil it, skimming as the scusa rises, and, when the juice is clear, add the fruit. Cook gently for half-an-hour, skim out the fruit, and boil the syrup until thick. Then add the fruit and boil for five minutes. Put it away in jars. To keep apples through the winter in ft barrel bore holes in the bottom and sides of the barrel, and store on a dry platform a foot or more high. Where only a few applea are available for storage, a good plan is care- fully to wrap them singly in paper. This will effectually protect them against any drying influence of the atmosphere. They may then be packed in layers, three or four deep, in shallow boxes or hampers, and Elaced in the cooleet available position in the ouse or outbuilding. Pigeon Pie.-Clean and parboil the birds; if large, cut in halves. Season the liquor, and thicken with flour wet in cold water. Arrange the birds around the edge of a deep round dish, with breasts up and legs towards the centre. Cover with the liquor, and dot each bird with butter. Lay a, narrow strip of paste around the edge of the dish; wet this, and cover with crust rolled a little larger than the dish, pinching it down to the nar- row strip of paste. Cut a gash in the centre of the crust, and let the extra fulness coate down around each bird to outline it, so that it may he served nicely. Bake until the smst ia « nek brown.

&ADY CASHIER'S LAPSE. A REMARKABLE STATEMENT. That she had systematically robbed her em- ftloyer, not for her own benefit, but for that 'M A juarried man of her acquaintance-such "Was the remarkable charge against a young <WOi»un named Elizabeth Martin at West- ifiainflter Police-court on Saturday. She had been employed as cashier by Mr. Roy, of Sussex-place, South Kensing- AWn eight or nine years, and, it was said, mA stolen between £ 200 and £ 300. After an investigation of Mr. Roy's books, .-4i%id Inspector Draper, he arrested the pri- ..#Oncr, and told her she would be charged with stealing large amounts. Then she made the following remarkable statement: "Yes, I <Ot»k the money, and must put up with it. ^hou^h I took the money I never had one #@m)y of it myself. I gave the whole of it to "Mr. for his family, for the rent of his .office* and for other expenses. He used to Iboèt me regularly on leaving business.

When he had the girl in custody, the in- spector went on, she pointed out the man she •sferrtvl to, apparently waiting for her. A warrant was issued for the arrest of the iftan, and the girl was remanded in custody. Thf sequel was the appearance on Monday Mr. Francis at Westminster Police- iaourt, of Alfred Wood, aged thirty-eight, de- iferibed as an auctioneer and estate agent, of Kiíir-treet, Hammersmith, who was Aht.trg.c-tl with feloniously counselling and procuring the girl to steal the monies of her ..Jttlployer. After hearing the evidence the magistrate • £ 6Tnunded Wood to be brought up with the '#Oraan, who is now in custody.

FUN AND FANCY. o Hawker: "Any brushes, ma'am?" House- keeper (indignantly) "Those brushes you sold. me last week have all gone to pieces." Hawker "Yes'm. I knew you'd want some more bv this time." She: "All my friends have motor-carp, now, and you won't give me one." He: "Well, ,nÚt until aeroplanes are fashionable, then 1 will buy one, and that will be much more distinguished." Professor's Wife: "Too aggravating! This morning I gave my husband a list of addresses, that he might go and look for a new house, and he has Ii-dele out a table of 'tatistics from them." Doctor: "Yes, Tlfr. Jones, the best thing to do will be to examine you under the Ronfgej' ray." Jones (sotto voce): "Rontgen ray, eh" I expect he wants to see how mL.ch money I have got in my pocket." Gladys: "Edith is so sorry she took Her- bert's ring back to the jeweller to have it valued." Penelope: "Why?" Gladys; "Well, the jeweller kept it, as he said Her- bert hadn't; been in to settle for it as he pro. mised." 1 Customer (to barber): "You say that if I pay you a subscription, I shall have my own shaving tackle i" Barber: "Yes, sir, of course. Razor, brush, and soap, all for your own exclusive use, even to your sticking, plaster." "You're a tattle-tale," said little Harry to his small sisfer. "iou run and tell mamma every fining that happens." "Well, I ain't n8 bad as you are," rejoined the little girl. "Iou tell her a lot of things that don't hap- pen at all." He: "I don't like your friend, Miss Knox. one told an acquaintance of mine that I was a perfect idiot." She: "Oh, I'm sure she didn't mean it. She knows as well as anyone else that no human being is absolutely per- fect." Customer (in post-office, to telephone girl, who has suddenly rung off in a temper): "Why did you ring off so suddenly?" Tele- phone Girl: "My young man jilted me and got engaged to another girl, and now he rings her up ten times a day through my ex- oliange. "You'd make a pretty good clerk," said the employer, sarcastically, "if you only had a little more common sense." "Indeed!" re- plied the clerk. "But did it ever occur to you that if I had a little more common sense I wouldn't be a clerk at all?" Teacher (to little Tim, who had done his sums all wrong for the ^ird time that week): "If this happens again, I shall have to tell your father." Tiiiv "Father helped me do them." Teacher: "What is your father?" Tim; "Head waiter." "This is our latest novelty," said the manufacturer, proudly. "Good work, isn't it 1" "Not bad," replied the visitor; "but you can't hold a candle to the goods we make." "Oh! are you in this line, too f; "No; we make gtxnpoA-der." ) _I Experienced Doctor (to young medico): "I'll give you a tip, my boy; always be care- ful to ask your patient what he has for dinner." Young Medico: "I see, so that I may be able to tell him what to eat, and what to aT°!d, and so on." Experienced Doctor: "Not at all; merely to learn what he's worth, IE-0 that you may judge better what to charge him when you send in your bill." A young doctor was called as a witness in a law case. When asked his profession, he said: "I employ myself as a physician." "But," remarked the judge, "does anyone else employ you as a physician?" He: "I understand you have been attend- ing an ambulance class. Can you tell me what is the best thing to do for a broken heart?" She: "Oh, yes. Bind up the broken portion with a gold band, bathe in orange- blossom water, and apply plenty of raw rice. Guaranteed to be well in-a month." A young cyclist was riding down a busy thoroughfare when his hat blew off. A pass- ing workman picked it up, and took it to him, saving him the trouble of getting off. "I really must get some cord to keep it on," re- marked the youth as he rode off, without a word of thanks. The workman's reply was short but expressive. It was simply: "Get a nail!" The other day, while a motor-'bus was passing over Waterloo-bridge, the wheels skidded, and the huge vehicle, leaping on to the pavement, dislodged a large portion of parapet of the bridge. It seemed only by a miracle that the 'bus with its load of passen- gers did not plunge headlong into the Thamfta. The driver of a passing horse 'bus gazed down with contempt, and, addressing the driver of the motor, said: ""i,.th! I see yer can't kill 'em fast enough, so yer a-tryin' ter drahn 'em, are yer?" "Yes," said William, the coster, "it wero superstition as made me marry my missus." "How's that?" inquired his friend. "Why, it wore a toss-up 'tween her an' Mary Jane. One day Aw were thinking which of 'em to have—Mary Jane or Anna—when Aw saw a cigar lyin' on th' ground. So Aw picked it up, and blowed if it didn't say on it 'Ave Anna." So I ha.d 'er." Miss Robinson (to stranger at reception): "Do you see that plain-looking girl over there? She has just got married. I'm sure I Wonder what her husband married her for." "I have no doubt he married her for her money," replied the stranger. "Oh, I wouldn't think so badly of him as that," said Miss Robinson. "But I ought to know," re- plied the stranger; "you see I am the man who married her." A gentleman was travelling ÎJ1 the North of Scotland.
