FOR WOMEN FOLK 11 Homely Hints & Dainty Dishes. WITH PARS. INTERESTING TO THE MERE MAN. A little salt sprinkled on a smoky fire will -elea.r it. Pancakes should be cooked very quickly if they are to be crisp. A good way to clean zinc is to dip a piece of cotton in kerosene and to rub the article to be cleaned with it until all dirt is removed. Well rinse with hot water afterwards, and dry with a clean cloth. Sofa and chair covers and rugs can be reno- vated by sponging them with water in which a little ammonia is mixed, changing the water as the dirt cornea off. The material should be carefully brushed first to get the dust out. Novel Hemedy for Whooping Cough Flogging as a remedy for whooping cough 'is said to be a favourite style of treatment in Austria. Whooping-cought, declare the doctors, being rather a nervous affection than anything else, the flogging is a counter- irritant, and rouses the child to an exercise of the will which often suppresstes the cough. Banana Desert Baked bananas, with orange or lemon sauce, make a novel dessert, and one easy to pre- pare. Peel the skin from one side of the bananas, and loosen it all around, but do not remove, and lay the fruit in a long baking- dish. Dust each one with sugar, and bake twenty minutes at a moderate heat. To make the sauce, mix a teaspoonful of cornstarch with a fourth of a cup of sugar. Heat the juice of three large oranges; add the sugar and corn-starch and cook until it thickens slightly. Potato Turnovers Mince very fine some cold roast beef, mut- ton. veal, or ham, or a mixture of two of them, removing all skin and gristle; season with salt, cayenne pepper, and a small quan- tity of chopped pickle. Mash some potatoes, and make them into a paste with a little flour and one or two beaten eggs. Dredge a little flour over this, and roll it out. Cut into rounds the size of a saucer. Put a little of the mince upon one-half of these rounds, and fold the other half over it. Pinch the edges neatly, and make up the rest of the pastry in the same way. Fry the turnovers in hot fat till they are lightly browned, drain them, and serve very hot. Time to fry: four or five minutes. Friend or Lover? Do girls know their own minds always? Alas! no. How often one tells a lover she esteems him as a friend, but can never think of him aa he desires! And how often she discovers her mistake— perhaps, too, when it is too late! He may go a way, and never know that she has found her right mind. He may woo another, with the memory of her who so lightly regarded him still in his heart. And, all unknowing of the love she bears him, he may marry some aid to whom he can never give his undi:id,,?d attentions. And she? Well, there are moments when the memory of him is painfully dear and sweet. She may give her hand to another, bat even the love she may bestow on the man who calls her wife cannot entirely crush the sweetness of that early love story. The Toast Cure I Many families that number dyspeptics among their members are now taking what might be termed the toast cure, toast being substituted for bread at every meal. In many cases the good results have been rapid. A woman who had almost despaired of ever being able to enjoy a good dinner again has been steadily improving, with fewer and I fewer attacks of indigestion, since her doctor ) recommended this simple experiment. How- ever, the toast made in the ordinary way, that is, soggy within and scorched outside, will not benefit. The bread must be thoroughly dried out in the oven before toast- ing, then brought to a golden brown. Per- haps more than one dyspeptic sufferer could trace the misery back to soggy bread. Even "second day bread" is not dry enough for a delicate stomach, and contrary to an erro- neous idea held by. many. toast (properly made) does not cause a sluggish state of the system or work any other evil How to Choose a Wife I A uerman scientist, who is also a talented musician, proposes to solve the difflcdlty some people seem to have in choosing a wife by trial by music." He suggests that the young woman under observation be given opportunities to hear the music of many of the greatest composers, and that the impres- sions of the various compositions upon her stould be carefully noted. If she prefers waits music, and, above all, Straass's intoxi- cating strains, she is certainly frivolous. If she loves Beethoven she is artistic, but not practical. Does she prefer Liszt?—then she ia ambi- tions; while a devotee of Mczart would be rather prudish. Why an admirer of Offen- bach should be cunning is not clear; but. remembering the opera of Faust," it is easy to understand that any girl preferring Gounod must be romantic and tender- hearted. It is hard on Flotow that, because his music is out of fashion, a taste for it denotes a vulgar soul; while Gottschalk fares little better, pleasing, according to the Ger- man scientist, only the superficial. Massenet is supposed to attract the timid; while a ievotion to Wagner's music is a distinct proof of egoiam.
