Clear coffee is, of course, the most dige'sti'ble, but this seems bitter .and unpleasant to many. To prepare the cafe an laic properly the coffee must be very clear. Tho milk, 'unskimned, .should be heated in a double 'boiler just to the boiling point, but not long enough for a film t -o foam on the top. Then the milk .a and the clear hot . coffee 1 to c trot should be poured together in the coffee .cup until •the sight 'strength is ,attained. Thee Coffee.—If coffee produces nervousness, rice coffee may be sub- 'stituted for it. To make this brown a cupful of rice in .the oven, ea,re- fully, without burning it, and then grind it fine in :•t coffee mill, Put it in an earthenware jug and pour a quart of -cold water over it. Let it 'stand 411 hour. Strain it, heat it .and serve it with hot still: or with cream. Toast.—Cut yesterday's bread for breakfast toast. Sometimes make the slices not more than eo quarter of an inch thick incl dry them in the oven until they ,are golden brown. Serve warm with butter. This sort of toast is most digestible, 'bat it mustof course be thoroughly masticated. If soft toast is preferred, cut the !ices 'thicker and toast them quickly on both eider. Eggs.—Coddled eggs are tempt- ing. To prepare 'then! •ehr••u'st the eggs, washed clean, into boiling water, cover the 'dish, .and let, it stand for from five to 10 minutes, Then relllove the eggs And serve with pepper, stilt and butter in an egg cup. Poached eggs are alw:a,ys tempting, and so are scrambled eggs. Scrambled eggs can ,be sur- rounded with crisp slices of broiled bacon. The eggs 'should never be greasy, but should be sera'mbled in as .1'(01-10 •butte' as possible, They tali he daintily •garnls'hecl with pars- ley. Citsttu'd. A ,good way to make baked eus.taed is to drop the yolk of an egg in a custard cup, acid a big teaspoonful of 'sugar, two grating? of nutmeg' and about five table- s'pooiis'of.

If a Package is to be sent a great distance, it is a good idea to pro- vide a box with a cover of unbleach- ed muslin, securely sewed in place. A little olive oil Poured into a bottle of home-made catsup after the bottle has been opened will pre- vent the catsup from 'spoiling so quickly. To remove old varnish from fur- niture take three 'tablespoonfuls of baking oda ad put it in a quart of water and apply it with a rough cloth. To remove fruit and` vegetable stains Rona the hands, dip the fin- gers in strong tea' .for a few min- ute's and then wash them in clear miens water. Never dry a ,silk handkerchief before ironing it, but lay it smooth- ly in a clean towel and leave it for an hour. Then iron it with a mo- derately hot iron. When making a, boiled pudding, be sure that the basin is filled quite full. If there is any space left, wa- ter will get in and the pudding will be heavy. To keep crochet work from un- ravelling put a safety pin in the last stitch. You can then ]ay it down without any danger of the stitches being pulled out. When 'malting 'muffins or cakes in muffin rings, if there is not enough -to fill all the pans you mai' pre- vent the empty ones from, burning 'by filling 'them with water. When cleaning up broken glass time will be saved if a damp P cloth is laid on the floor whe't•e the glass is. The tiny particles will adhere to the cloth, which play be burned. Baked ;bean sandwiches are good in the school lunch basket. Mash the beans a little and mix with a French dressing. Spread slices of bread with batter and spread the beans over it.
