Henderson.-â€"This recipe makes one of the planiest and best pud- dings ever eaten. It is a success where every grain of rice seems lying in a creamy bed. Ingredients: One cupful of boiled rice (better if just cooked and still hot). three cupfuls of milk, three- quartars of a cupful of sugar, 9. table- spoonful of cornstarch, two eggs, and flavoring. Dissolve the cornstarch first with a little of the milk, then stir in the remainder of the milk. Add the yolks of the. eggs and the sugar beaten to- ether.

One has a large china tureen for holding the eggsâ€"or it. can be used for cooking them on the table with boiling water, what is known as the coddling process. One of these tureens is white, with the handle to the cover in a gray cook's head with red comb. The tiny white cups are plain, except for the same small chicken head in has relief on one side. Another tray provides for boiling the eggs in the kitchen. It has the egg cups set back, and on one side of it are depressions for holding the eggs. In the centre is a small covered dish for the shells. One dollar seems a good deal to pay for a child's mug.

Cut fiowers.~The best time to cut flowers to keep well is in the early morn- ing before the sun‘s rays have reached them. A knife or a pair of scissors should always be used to clip them off, as they should be cut. smooth and clean from the stem, and never broken off. Flowers that are not fully developed will keep the longest, but they should reach their maturity of color and size before being cut. GATHERING UP THE FRAGMENTS. Priscilla looked at her bag of knitting wools, and shook her head despairineg. There were odds and ends. of every con- ceivable color, shade, length and thick» ness. [t was a variegated heap; and Priscilla wondered how she would ever get rid of the left-overs. “There are hitâ€"or-iniss carpets and rugs and things," she mused. “and why not hit-or-niiss bed shoes?" So she tied her bits together neatly, alternating light and dark. and wound them in two equal balls, one for each shoe. She doubled the wool that was too fine. And the balls held out so well vthat she was able to crochet a pair of ,high bed shoes, the only kind that really keep one's ankles warm. When the lamb's wool soles were iluldcd, the shoes were so guy that she calls them her “rainbow slil'ipers,” and says she's only waiting for the fabled pot of gold. HINTS ABOUT ii'ASiiiNG. Clothes soaked over night are more readily freed from dirt than if Wilsllrfl without any preparation. Look over the clothes and mend all rips and tears be- fore allowing them to be washed.

Sort the clothes before cooking into ilirce piles, the line while 'picces, the changes, and the dirty clothes, etc. Fill tubs vxith tepid water, adding both dissolved soap and soda to the water. There should be three tubs. one for each pile of clothing. Soap each piece lightly, wrap it together. and pack into the pan. in the morning wring out. and wash as usual.

Advised on Hygienic Points in Time of of War. In the official organ of the Society for the Advancement of Medical Science 'u Japan there are published a number of hints to soldiers on hygiene. Some of these are sufficiently interesting to quote. The infantryinan is told that it has been said by a famous warrior of old that “victory rests in the feet." Several 1m,â€" thods are given for keeping the boots soft, and “when slices get torn and there are no fresh ones to change. the feet should be bound first with dried grass, straw, etc, and then several times over with clotli, and finally Japanese straw shoes (were ji) should be worn.“ As to the socks, the soldier is directed to "pull out any wrinkles and afterwards wear them by changing from one side to another, and if wet to put on new ones." The following is also a useful hint: uIf impossible to obtain good water to ease thirst, keep a pickled plum in the mouth or bite harmless things like leaves, straw, etc, because they ease the thirst for a time." The practice of giv- ingr the reason for the hint is commend- able, and seems to show that the Japan- ese soldier is credited with a certain amount of common sense. “The common disease attacking the army," says a hint on the subject of in- fectious diseases, “is typhoid. The poi- son chiefly enters the system through the medium of food, and therefore do not eat uncooked food or drink unboiled water." Another hint warns the soldier that “in Corca and China the houses are warmed by heating the floor. If the Japanese charcoal firepot (himachi) be used in these houses there will be thr- dangcr of death through poisoning by carbonic acid gas. .___.__..4....._... A PERFECT HAND. flow [is Appearance Became Familiar to the Public. The story of how probably the most perfect feminine hand in America ce- came known to the people is rather in- teresting. As the story goes, the possessor of the band was with some friends in a pho- tographer‘s one day and while talking, held out a piece of candy. The pose of the hand with its pcrfcct contour and faultless shape attracted the attention of the artist who propose to photograph ii. The result was a beautiful picture kept in the family until one day, after reading a letter from someone inquir- ing as to who wrote the Postum and Grape-Nuts advertisements, Mr. l’ost said to his wife, "We receive so nuiny inquiries of this kind, that it is evident some people are curious to know, slip- posc we let the Bdh‘l'llsllltj,‘ til-parliiient have that picture of _\‘<:ul‘ hand to print and name it. ‘A llciplnvglluud.” (Mrs. Post has assisted him in preparation of some of the most fumcus advertise- mentsl.

The case was presented in the light of extending a welcoming hand to the friends of Pcstum and Grape-Nuts, so the picture appeared on the back covers of many of the. January rind February magazines and became known to mil- lions of people. Many arti<ls have conunenied upon it as probably the most perfect hand in the world.

When the Kaiser regained his throne with the aid of the wealth thus obtained, he made the charcoal- burncr a duke. A touching case of learning to write with the belt hand is that of Mrs. J. It.

One day she sat. by a courtly old general, and after eating some fruit the little girl turned and gazed at him. Presently she exclaimed:â€"“I wonder you're not afraid to sit next to me." Everybody in the room turned at the sound of her childish treble. “On the contrary, i am but too pleased and hon< cred to sit next to my little Queen," replied the old general. “But why should i be afraid?” Assuming a woebegone ex- pression, the little Queen replied: “Be- cause all my dolls have the measles: they're all of them down with itl" ____+_..__ GROW'ING BOYS.
