The cookies should be light and soft and will keep for weeks. The secret is in using the soft sugar. Southern Corn Relish.â€"Cut from the cob one dozen ears of corn that have been boiled ten minutes. Chop fine one head of cabbage, four green peppers, and two red peppers. To this add two cups of brown sugar, one tablespoon- ful celery seed, one box of ground mus- tard, and-three pints vinegar. Salt to taste; cook twenty minutes and bottle. Corn Croquetles.â€"Grate lender green earn enough to make a pint. Mix with it half a green pepper finely minced with a small, tender onion.

When perfectly cold mold in- to form and try in wire basket, first dippin g into the not fat to prevent sticking. Kentucky Waffles â€"â€" These waffles, vouched for as perfect in a book of fam- ous old recipes, contributed by des- cendants of famous southern cooks, are nrade as follows: Beat. three eggs, whites and yolks separately. Add to the yolks two pints of sifted flour, and one pint of sour cream, stir well, then make the batter very thin with sweet milk Add three tablespoonfuls of mel- ted lard, a teaspoonful of soda dissolv- c-l in a little cold milk. then lastly the whites of the eggs. Bake quickly in hot Potato puff is delicious with creamed ' chicken. To one pint of hot mashed po- tatoes add one tablespoonful of salt, one lablespoonful of pepper. half that quantity of celery salt, and hot milk enough to moisten well. When partly - cool, add the yolks of two eggs, beaten well, and then, put in the whites beaten stilt. Bake.ten minutes in a hot. oven, and it comes out in a golden brown meringue. That is an especially good way to serve old potatoes that have to be cut up a good deal in paring them. Eggs for Winter Useâ€"The best DIC- thod of keeping eggs is to dip each egg in melted paraffin. When it hardens (n the surface examine carefully and ~ pour a little extra paraffin on the spots imperfectly covered. Pack two or three layers deep, small end down, in a wood- en box; put in a cool, dry place, and they will keep a long time. Another excellent way is to press them small end down in a bed of common salt. When one layer is placed fill all around carefully with the salt and place a second layer of eggs and continue un- til the box is full. Press the salt lgiht- ly but firmly to exclude the air and they will keep for months. chelbreads with Caulifiowcr.â€"Takc four large sweelbreads and two cauliâ€" flowcrs, open the sweetbreads and re- nrove the grislle; soak them awhile in lake warm water. put them in a small part of boiling water, boil ten minutes; afterward lay them in a pan of cold water to make them firm.

To Use Frozen Creamâ€"Cream when frozen will separate and curdle when used in hot coffee. If cream is beaten briskly with an egg beater it will re turn to its original state. Egg Beater is Cook's Friendâ€"Use a strong wire egg heater in place of a spoon or fork in making cream sauce. gravies, and all kinds of soft batters. It saves a great deal of time and makes things much lighler. Two Uses for Icrrron Juiceâ€"Put a few drops of lemon juice inlo water in which fish is boiled to make fish firm rrnd wbilc. A few drops added to rice. while boiling blanclrcs it and puffs the kernels. Easy to Seat Jelly Glassesâ€"It is not necessary to melt a quantity of parafin for jelly or preserves. Drop a small lump in fire, glass and pour hot jelly on it. When the jelly is firm it will be covered with the paraffin. Boil Jelly Glass with Chickenâ€"In. boiling a chicken that is tough put a common jelly glass in the kettle and boi'. with the chicken. Not only chicken. but all other fowl and tough rrrcals will be made lender in this way. Save Kilchcn Tableâ€"Keep one or two blocks of wood or squares of oilclolh to put on the kitchen table to stand saucepans or baking this on lerllC their Contents are receiving attention. as this precaution will save the table from be- coming blackened by them. R-ecanned Fruit..â€"-\\"hcn canned fruit bubbles over or oozes out, empty the fruit into a granite basin, putting in two-thirds of a cup of cold water, and heat slowly, letting it sloarn uncovered. Bring to a boil and skim, then at the end of ten minutes put in two-thirds of a‘cup of sugar. As soon as it is all dis- sclved put in can, using a new rubber, and it is as good as at first. Saving the Boiler.â€"â€"When the boiler is dried and ready to put away alter the week‘s wash. set it on the stove, and while hot rub it all over the inside and around the seams with laundry soap. It prevents rusting. and the boil- er will keep new and last much longer. All the soap is not lost, either. as it is dissolved in the water for the next week’s wash. . Renovating Old Silkâ€"Old silk reno- vated in this way will retain its lustre and look as well as when new: Put twoouncesof alcohol, a lablcspoonful of nrucilage or strained honey, :1 round- ed lablespocnful of soft snap (dissolve a small piece of good quality in water), and two cups of soft. water in a bottle, and shake until well mixed. Sponge the silk on both sides with the mixture, rubbing well, and then shake up and down in a tub of cold or cool water. neither rubbing nor wringing. Hold by the edge and flap off the wafer, pin the edges to the litre, and while still damp iron between cloths or paper with an iron only moderately bot. Mend Old Baking Pansâ€"Small round holes often come in baking and roast- ing pans, kettles, etc. To mend these get one of the small copper rivets which are used in mending harness and may he bought at any hardware store. Place the rivet. in the hole, with the flat side underneath, allowing the other end to project through. Then place the pan on something hard. such as back cf range, and with a hammer pound the projecting end flat. This will stop the hole perfectly, and at practically “.0 cost. If knobs to pot and pan lids come off. put a screw through the hole left, l‘i’ad downwardst and thread a cork up- on fhe projecting screw. This will never get hot and will last a long time. x â€"â€" â€"_â€"â€"-r-â€"â€" â€"â€" Mrs. Newrich lived in an expensive and luxurious hotel. She knew that well-appointed equipages of any sort were to be had. and proposed to show that she knew what was suitable for each occasion. “Chawlrs.” she said to Mr Newrich's valet one afternoon, with great dignity. “I am going to return some calls this afternoon. and you may go to the livery stable and tell them to send up the best cart~de~visit they have." klajor~Gencral Baden-Powell is rarely at a loss for rcpartce. and his most humorous sayings are generally spoken in a low. even voice. and with a serious look.

Offence Is Usually Readily l’ardorrcd by the An Unintentional 'King. There is no greater social offence than to do anything that incurs the dis- pleasure of the King or Queen. The man 0." woman who does so intentionally ceases to be recognized by their Majesv lies. and this means Social extinction. ’l‘frc offender‘s name, no mailer what his or her rank may be. is slruck out of the visiting-list. of every person in so- ciety: if the offender be a man he is asked to remove his name from every club of any standing lo which be ma.V happen to belong: no man or woman of social rcpulc will know him. and if he in the Army. Navy or Diplomatic Scr- vicc. the best. thing he can do is to re- sign. for he will find himself out dead by every one of his brother-officers, says London Answers. It need hardly be said that their Ma- jcslies are. always loath to inflict on anyone the penalty which a public avowal of their displeasure. entails. bid. in fact. never do so unless a person of- fends willingly. If. is considered a ser- icus offence to violate any of those rules of etiquette which their Majesties ex- pect people whom they honor with their acquaintance at all times to observe scrupulously in their presence. THE AMERICANS ERROR. If you fail to observe these rules. it is not considered any miligalion of the of- fence to plead ignorance of them, for all who come. into social contact with Royâ€" alty are sujposed to make themselves thoroughly familiar with these obser- vances. On one occasion a few seasons ago, a lady whose name was well known among American hostesses in London was honored by an invitation to a din- nor-party at. Buckingham Palace. A few (lays before the dinner. the lady wrote to the Queen asking if she might bring '1 guest who was staying with her to the dimer-party. This was an outrageous violation of etiquette. The lady's reqursl. was refused, though, of course, the reâ€" fusal was couched in the most courteous terms, but her name was never again included in the list of Royal invitations, and it soon got known in society that their Majesties did not wish to meet her. The result was that the lady was drop- ped absolutely and completely out oil society, and she shortly afterwards gave up her London house and left for the country. FROM SOCIETY TO SOLlTUDE. There was a peer who. a couple of years ago, presuming on his friendship with the King, took an unpardonable liberty with his SOvercign. The King had arranged to be the peers guest from Saturday to Monday, and as is custom- ary in such cases. a list of the other guests the peer proposed asking was submitted to his Majesty. Two of the names on the list were unknown to the King, and his Majesty asked that they might be omitted from the party. They were, however, present, and the peer explained their presence by stating that be had already asked them when he had sent the list to the King. Such fll’. offence was quite unpardonable; the King declined ever to meet the peer again, and the nobleman soon found that an ancient title and high position could not save him from the penalty which taking a liberty with the Sover- eign entails. His name was removed from the list of members of every club Ire belonged tc, invitations be had received to various [muses of people in his own rank were cancelled; and he was asked to resign his captaincy in his county yeor‘nnnry. II: let his count-y mansion one of the niost splendid houses in England. and went to live on the O’n’rlinerrl, and he now resides in great privacy in a villa near ’I‘oulori, for he is altogether too proud a man to accept the only sort of society that is open to him. SAD BREACH OI“ E'l‘th’ET’I‘E. A member of the French Embassy in London once addressed his Majesty as “dear boy.” which was a gross violation of eliquellc. brrl under the circumstances the offence was pardoned. It was corn- rniltcd during a game of bridge at. the Marlborough Club when the diplonralisl i=r question was playing with the King. The former, though not a very good player, was a highly enthusiastic one and very keen about winning. The last hand of the rubber was a “no lrumper" played by the King. and the diploma- list watched the fall of each card with lire greatest anxiety.

Used ls lea-7 lousTy Guarded as a Trade. Secret. Formerly Venice was the only place where glass beads were made. It was asserted that there was no possibility of making them elsewhere owing to some climatic influence, and the chcrrrical composition of the local sweet and salt sands. Manufaclor‘il‘s, however. now exist in France, Bohemia and Antwerp. Some years ago a factory was also es- tablished in lrrdia. The process of making glass beads is as follows : I’irstâ€"Jl‘hc vitreous paste is composed and is then fused in the fur- nace. Secondâ€"The canna or long. thin, perforated tube. is made by the Mar- gar'ilai, for producing the round small globes of glass of different colors, or imitation of pearls, coral and precious stones. 'l‘lrirdâ€"Tlrc rounding and work- ing of glass pearls is done at the flame of the lamp. The first operation is conâ€" sidered the most important, as it pro- vides the material necessary for mak- ing all kinds of beads, and requires some technical knowledge and great practice, as the preparation and composition of the various pastes are JEALOUSLY KEPT SECRET. It may, perhaps, be of interest to see the general character of a bead factory. The. furnace contains five or six large earthen vases, divide-1. one from the other so that they may be differently heated, according to the various compo- sitions which are poured into them. The operations for making the canna farata, or long hollow tubes to be corr- verted inlo beads, and the canoe. mas- sicia, to be reduced into pearls, are these: The vitreous paslc is reduced into long glass tubes, more or less thin, according to the. different thicknesses of the beads to be made, but in such a way that the hole in the middle of the tube is always maintained. The work is executed by the foreman, who has under his orders lwo assistants and four \vorkirrgrrren, called liradori. One of these assistants dips the end of an iron rod abmrt four feet long into one of the vaScs containing the molten paste of the required color. He then rolls it on an iron table to reduce it in a cylindrical form, and rrral-zes a round hole on the upper part of the paste. After this the foreman takes the rod in his hand and heals in the furnace the portion of paste attached to its end by giving it a few turns, and sees that the hole made is ‘ EXACTLY IN THE CENTRE. It: then promptly attaches another rod to fire upper part of the paslc. The two rods are. at once delivered to two lira- dcri, who, running speedily rrr opjxrsife directions, reduce the molten material into a very long thin lube. which pro- serves the hole in its centre for all its length. The g‘~rss tubes are then divided acâ€" cording to their thickness, and cut in small pieces. Such pieces are then sifted and prrl in iron tubes with sand and coal powder, and by turning them in the furnace the pieces are made round. The pearls are then polishci‘r’by placing them in a bag eonlainirrg some . sand and shaking them for some firrrc. They are then separated from the sand by a sieve and put. in another bag corr- lairrirrg a portion of white bran. and again slrtrkf‘rr. when they become ex- tr'l'rrrr‘fy brilliant. and after being sifted, are ready for sale. .â€".»â€"â€")I<.â€"___.
