FOR WOMEN FOLK. HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES. A charming woman, makes everyone feel at I home. Ermine tails mingling with la-ce and ribbons on elbow cuffs are seen in Paris. Soot on a carpet is easily swept up with- out injury if it is first covcred thickly with salt. Never give undiluted cow's milk to a baby under ten months old. The addition of a little barley water makes the milk more really nourishing, because it is more diges- tible. When baking potatoes always prick them with a. fork before putting them in the oven, which should only be moderately hot, espe- ¡ cially at first. If put in without being pricked they are very apt to buret, and will not be so floury, ae the steam bae no vent- hole. Muffins I One quart of fresh milk, three eggs, threes tablespoons of lard, salt, add two teaspoone1 ba.king powder, use pinch of soda, if milk inclines to sour. Stiffen with corn flour, and bake in ring paiis in a, hot oven. Do not ruake batter staffer than cake. To Clean Venetian Blinds I Untie the knots at the bottom of the blind and slip out all the laths except the thic lath at the bottom. Wipe the laddering cord, with a damp cloth. Put the laths on a tablk and wash them with a soft brush and eoap and water. Dry them thoroughly, and put back one by one, and knot firmly. Potatoes and Cheese j Cut one quart of cold boiled potatoes into I dice and* season with salt and pepper. Put a layer of potatoes into a. buttered baking dish and sprinkle with jrrated cheese; con- tinue in this way until the potatoes are all used. Pour over them one pint of white I sauce, sprinkle with bread crumbs and bake I in a .quick oven fifteen minutes. Cara of the Coffee Pot Good coffee cannot be made in a neglected coffee pot. Of all utensils this is most fre- quently slighted by servants, and fortunate indeed is the housekeeper whose domestic can be trusted with the proper daily cleans- ing of the coffee boiler. If one wishes to gave left-over coffee, it is better to turn off the liquid into an earthen bowl or pitcher, throwing away the grounds and warming the clear coffee, than to stew over what is left. In an ordinary family it is easy to manage so that fresh coffee may be made for each meal for which it is used without waste. This is more hea;ithful and quite satisfac- tory, and quite as economical in the long run as to make so much pt first that what remains must be heated over. It is a mistake to use soapsuds when cleaning a coffee pot; only clear, scalding water should be used, and all of the brown film, so destructive of fine flavour, which collects on the inside, can be easily removed by a minute's brisk scouring with a table- j spoonful of dry ssalt and a. piece of heavy brown paper. Rinse thoroughly, and dry quickly on a warm stove, and be well repaid for the little trouble by the improved flavour cf your morning beverage.
