BREAKFAST BREADS.
Corn Bread.—When making corn
bread by any recipe, if one large
cooked potato, hot or cold, is rub
bed through a very fine sieve into
the batter, it greatly improves it,
snaking it light and feathery, and,
as my husband says, absolutely de-
licious.
•
Wheat Muffins.—Two tables
spoons •sugar, one tablespoon bet-
ter (heaping), one egg, three-quar-
ters cup -sweet milk (generous), otie
.ared one-half caps flour, a. pinch of
salt., two teaspoons baking powder.
This recipe just makes -twelve muf-
fins. Bake in a real warm, oven.
Eggless /sIuftins.—One . table-
spoonful sugar, one-half table-
spoonful butter (or butter and
lard), one-half cup sweet milk, oite
scant teaspoonful baking powder,
salt to taste, flour enough to make
a stiff batter, This will make six
muffins. The recipe may be var
by usi as part cornmeal or sifted
graham flour.
TASTEFT.IL RECIPES.
Baked ApPles.—Wash and core
tart apples, then fill with equal
parts ,crumbs and roushrooms: Sea-
son , with catsup or fine herbs as
'preferred. Put a bit of butter on
top of each apple., Add a little wa-
ter to the baking pan and bake un-
til ,tender.
Salt Pork.—This is really a- 'de-
licious way to serve salt pork. Slice
at pork and soak the slices an
hour in sweet milk; drain and fry
until. the pork begins to turn
brown, then dip' ie. a Matter made
of one egg which is beaten and
atirreel into 'two tablespoonfuls of

When sweeping a heavy rug or
carpet it is a good plan to spread
a newspaper on the floor and
sprinkle it very lightly with water.
Keep the newspaper a trifle ahead
of the broom so that the dust is
brushed on to it.
Warm bread or cake, and, in
fact, warm food of any kind should
never be put in a covered tin or
dish. The steam makes molding
certain. Vegetables become soggy
and unfit for food when treated in
this careless manner.
For broiled salt fish soak the
