MISCELLANEOUS.
Everything odd, dizzy, or queer ; All lliat was left, tumbled in here.
Asparagus. — Keep it eool and moist on the cellar bottom till wanted. Throw it into cold water. Cut oflf all that is tough. Tie it ih small bun- dles. Boil it in salted warm water for fifteen or twenty minutes, having only I'ust enouf^h to cover the asparagus. When done take it up with a .skimmer, lay it on buttered toast, and put butter on it. Then pour on the water in which the asparagus was boiled.
Baked Eggs.— Butter a deep pie plate and pour in enough milk to cover the bottom. Break in as many eggs as the dish will hold, and bake until the white is set. Sprinkle on salt and pepper, and serve in the bake dish. — Mrs. K. Washburn.
Best Baked Beans.— After being picked over and thoroughly w^ash- ed, put the beans in the bean pot and cover them with water. Put them on the back of the stove where they will cook slowly, leaving them there all day. The next morning put in the pork with a small pinch soda and salt, if the pork is not salt enough for them. Bake slowly all day. Some think the flavor is improved by putting in one teaspoonful nmstard when preparing them for the oven. — L.' E.
Cauliflower. — Remove the green leaves and wash the cauliflower (•lean. Place in a deep saucepan, head downward, and cover with boil- ing water. Sinmier gently one hour. Serve with a cream or butter sauce.
To Cook Cabbage.— Cut the cabbage tine as for cold slaw, put in a stew pan with cold water and a little salt. Cover it closely, and cook till nearly done. Then pour off the water, pour on milk or cream, add butter and pepper and cook till thoroughly done.
Coffee. — Fill a teacup three-fourths full of freshly ground coflfee. Into it break an ^^g with shell. Mix w(?ll, adding enough cold water to thoroughly wet the grounds. Upon this pour one ({uart boiling water. Let it simmer gently on the stove for twenty to thirty minutes. Do not let it boil. At table first put the sugar into the (Mip, then add hot milk, then the coffee. If cream is used it can be served cold. This is enough for four persons. Three things to remember : First, Use the best coffee;

When done add the corn from twelve ears, and a (piart of milk. C'ook ten imn- ates.— 3/r«. C. H. Weed.
Dumplings. — One quart floiir. Sift with it two heaping teaspoonfuls baking powder, a little salt. Mix lightly with milk as soft as you can handle. Don't remove cover until twenty minutes. — Mrs. H. B. Glutden.

«alt. Stir in geutly, the whites last. Bake fifteen or twenty minutes in moderate oven.— Mj^s, C. P, BossUer.
Potatoes.— The ^eat art of cooking potatoes is to take them up as soon as they are done. Of course it is important to begin to cook at the proper time. When boiled, baked, fried and steamed they are rendered watery by continuing to cook them after they have reached the proper point. For this reason, potatoes to bake or boil sliould l)e selected so as to have them nearly the same size. Begin with the largest first, and con- tiaue to select the largest till all are gone. Be careful that the water does not stop boiling, as thus the potatoes will be watery. Never boil them very hard as it breaks them. *
Prepared Mustard. — Two tablespoonfuls mustard, one teaspoon- ful sugar, one-half teaspoonful salt. Add enough boiling water to mix the ingredients. When cold add one tablespooiiful salad oil or butter, and enough vinegar to thin it. — Miss Band,
If anything is spilled on the stove, sprinkle salt on immediately, and the odor will be neutralized.
EiCE. — Never cook in an iron vessel. Soak two hours before c-ooking. Have the water actually boiling. While boiling do not cover. While boiling do not stir. Boil ten minutes and add salt. Boil ten more minutes and drain dry. Rice cooked the right way will show whole ker- nels. Rice cooked the wrong way will show a pasty mass. — Mrs. S. J. Boberts^ Jr,
Soda Water. — Pour three pints boiling hot water on four pounds coifee crushed sugaF. When cool add two ounces tartaric acid, one ounce flavoring, and then the whites of three eggs well beaten. For use : Take one-fourth teaspoonful bi-carbonate soda, add two tablespoonfuls of the syrup. Beat it, then add water.— -Mrs, G. V. Grismer.
Steamed Peas.— They should be put into a dish without w^ater, placed in the steamer, and cooked from three-fourths of an hour to an hour. Season to taste with salt and butter.
To Salt Beef.— To one hundred pounds beef nine pounds salt, 'sev- en pounds sugar, two ounces saltpetre. Mix these together well, and rub each piece of beef with the mixture, and pack tight in a barrel. Put on a weight and in a few days the brine should cover the beef.
