Mashed Potato. — There is one essential thing to remember about mashed,potato which we so univers- ally serve: it is that it must not be allowed to stand after it has been mashed and seasoned. It loses all its quality by so doing. So true is this that -t ousaads of people do not know what true mashed potato is. If it must be prepared beforehand. pack it into a hot earthen dish, brush the top with butter or .•egg,. and put into the oven for ten nein- utes A tablespoon of cream to each two potatoes and an ounce of butter to four medium potatoes seasons them well, with the salt and perhaps pepper. It is best to have the Cream hot, or hot milk may be used instead with :a little more but- ter, Potatoes Baked and Stuffed. -- Potatoes Potatoes prepared in a, little differ- ent way from those •sometimes put in to bake with a roast, in the last hour, may be done as .follows. Peel as many potatoes of medium size as are. needed, making them egg shap- ed -or pyramidal, or in any .form you please. Cut off one end so that they will stand and metre them with the roast or by themselves. When done cut off the top, dip out the pulp, mash, .and season, refill the pota- toes, put on caps or part cut off, set in oven ten minutes, and then pour some melted butter over them before serving. Butter, Dream, and egg volk may be used to season the inside and some finely chopped meat or bacon and some chopped mush- room may be added. These may be made a decorative garnish, Potato Noise — Noisette means nut. a hazel net, and vege- table noisettes are little vegetable spheres the size -of a hazel nut cut out with .a tiny scoop or round spoon :cutter. One advantage of these is that they may be cooked quickly and are decorative. The cooking may be done in ten or twelve minutes. The matting out takes some gime and skill, . but re- member that the word used for this euttine, is "turning," and the knack can soon be acquired. The scoop' is buried in the vegetable and turned. Priedpotato noisettes are pretty and•may be simply eooked in butter until a Light brown, or in the pan with the roast, where they must be stirred and turned ° so as to brown on all sides, Another way is to bail the little pieces for eight or ten minutes, just covering with cold water, to 'make them` more mealy, and quickly broughtto a boil, These can •be drained and finished with butter or added to a sauce. In either case potatoes so prep.ared can stand in the oven covered and not lose in flavor as do mashed potatoes. Boiled Onions. — Small onions boiled in meat stock, :boiled away and reduced to glaze, axe delicious, but somebutter or. :bacon with a little sugar and water may be used instead,just enough liquid to cover, so that ib will all be boiled away. Cooked in ,plain salted water and served in a .little hot cream they are delicious; but cannot so well be used as a garnish. Small onions will eoolr horn twenty minutes to half an hour xta •follows Remove the thin paper skin leo as to leave theft as comely as possible, cover with a little cold water or meat stock, boil up, then cover cooking vessel close - 1y, and finish over the simmering burner. The steam generated helps to cook them better than in an open vessel. Potatoes a la Brabanconue. — Cook one-half onion sliced. Add two tablespoons chopped ham, one tablespoon chopped ,parsley, butter, salt and paprika to season, cream if convenient. Mound in a greased baker, and smoothly mash six po- tatoes and cover top with fine bread crumbs and dots of butter. Bake twenty minutes, until the top is well browned. Household lints. To clean tinware, try dry flour applied with a newspaper. Bran 'muffins are better than grid- dle cakes every morning. Roll sausage in a. little • flour be- fore frying and it will not burst. The better the flour, the better the bread made from it will be. Part milk used in mixing bread improves both flavor and quality. Every household should have a plentiful supply of apples for win- ter. inter. 'Tie a knot of red ribbon on scis- sors and keys -if you want to find them easily. Celery leaves should always be saved—even dried, if neee'ssary to use in soup. Never put much sugar in bread; it is only used at all to help the yeast to ferment. A japanned tray can be freshen- ed with two coats of white paint and a finish of enamel. To snake an old .fowl tender, rub the bird alI over wibh lemonjuice, then wrap in buttered paper, and steam for two or three hours, ac- cording to. size. By adding soda before heating it, milk on the verge of souring may be scalded and used for blanc mange or rice or tapioca pudding or squash pies. To clean white buckskin and chamois shoes, try lump magnesia. Russet ;shoes can be cleaned by rub- bing them with a'banana peel, ac- cording to same. When bedrooms are small, and trunks acid hat -ibexes have to be pil- ed up in corner's, it is a good plan to get four blocks of woad all the same ,size, and to shake a groove in each for the casters to fit an. This raises the bed, and all trunks 'and hat boxes may he put under the bed, giving more room for moving about. To ,preserve a paper document, pictures or a letter, dip them in a strong solution of alum water, dry- ing thoroughly. If the paper is very thick, repeat the process. To remove greasespots from earn pets, rub on each spot a.mixture of Puttees earth, oxgall :and water ; then rinse this out • with clear water and rub ,as dry as possible with a dry cloth. To, protect the finger -nails when doing rough and dirty work, rub them over with a piece of soap,:aid when you wash your hands after the task the soap will come out. Gar- dening work and ,blanking the stove are not :50 disastrous if this is done. When you have a receipt that calls for baking a custard . or other delicate egg .pudding, which may curdle, try cooking it in this way: Put the baking dish into a steamier on the top of a, stove, until it is so- lid, and put it into the oven only long enough to brown it, TYPHOID Valuable Wats 'Issued by tiff.* Qn' taeio Board of Health. Typhoid fever, or enteric fever, is a eortanunieable disease caused by the typhoid baeillus germ; it is mare prevalentduiingt;'lie late sum- mer and earlyautumnmonths, al- though in some portions of the Pro- vine serious epidemicshave oc- curred during the winter months, indeed, it may be said 40 be always with us; it is both oont,agious and infectious. The contraction and spread of the disease can almost certainly be avoided by the strict observance of the rules set .forth in this pamphlet. The disease is usually transmitted by means of water, ice, milk or food containing typhoid germs; it may and management, and this israrely given in the' average household. The public should also support the Provinoisl Board of Health ill its contention that no eo mnuniity • or ..individual has sa right to pollute any source of drinking water with sewage. Means have been devised for the satisfactory purification of sewage, and proper walks should be installed by all' mC�unieipalrties, ' corporations and, individuals now polluting our streams and lakes. Casks of typhoid fever occur; clue- ing the fall among families who have spent the holidays at summer resorts, the muttary arrangements of whieh are inadequate Intending visitors to a summer .re;oit .hould demand evidence that the house and its .surroundings have been re- cently inspected by the local health authori .i e t s•n' a. d the sanitation i•e. also be contracted by people who ported upon as satisfactory. some into di ee.t contact with those having the disease.

Only boiled predispose a person to the disease water should' be used for all domes - they cannot themselves cause the tic purposes. Milk, the source of ,disease. It requires the presence which is not ,absolutely beyond sus - of the typhoid germ. Typhoid germs will live for a long time in the soil, and if a patient's discharges are thrown upon or put into the ground or thrown in cess- pool or privy pit without previous disinfection the natural drainage may infect a well or other supply of drinking water. In order to prevent pollution of the well water the privy pit or cess- pool should be removed as far as possible from the well and always at a lower level. Where septic tanks are operated and the sewage is disposed of in the ground be -tiles, +the land used for this purpose should be remote from your well and also from your neigh- bor's. The tops of wells should be so constructed as to keep out all sur- face water and prevent pollution in this manner. Ice is a frequent source of infec- tion. Typhoid germs May remain alive in ice for several months, and they have been found in the"parti- cles of dirt often seen in ice. Typhoid germs grow luxuriantly in milk, which may become con- taminated by some one whose hands have •come in oontact with the dis- oharges of a typhoid patient, by be- ing in a vessel which Inas be•exr,wash- ed by infected water, or by flies that have come in contact with typhoid discharges. - Uncooked food May cause the dis- ease by being washed in infected water, or become infectedby flies or being handled by infected hands:. The eating of shell fish taken from Polluted waters may also cause the disease. Actual contact between typhoid fever patients and ' well persons is a frequent means of transmitting. the disease when such well persons do not observe the proper precautions in handling the patient's dis- charges. Both the faeces and the urine contain the ty'ph,oid germs for weeks, in some cases m•o-niahs, after the patients have "reoov.ered. And many typhoid patients are so slight- ly sick that the disease is not re- cognized as typhoid; yet their dis- oharge.s contain typhoid germs. i taken into tahe, kitchen, but should Such oases are'a great source of be burned by the atitendant in some danger. •other room or outside the house. 6.- The aft-Nada/it .should . wear clothing that can be laundered, and all' soiled clothing, as well as all clo'th's, bed linen and clothing which have come in, contact in any way witlh • the patient, •should be soaked for an hour in a carbolic solution (see pamphlet on Disinfection), be- fore removal 'from the room, and be boiled in water and soap for five minutes. pilon, •should be boiled or brought to the boiling point.

Rules to Prevent the Spread. of Typhoid. 1. The sick room should ••be large, easily ventilated, and as far from the kitchen :and living and sleeping rooms of other members of the fam- ily as possible. All ornaments, ear- pets, draperies •aflnd artiel'e;s not ab- solutely needed in the room should be removed. A free circulation of pure „fresh air from without should be .admitted both by day and by night. Place the bed as nearly as possible in the middle of the room, carefully keeping the patient out of draughts. The bed s'hou1d be pro- tected by a rubber sheet over the mattress. 2. If possible, one atte'ndant should take • entire charge of the patient, and no one else .besidesthe physician should .be allowed to en- ter • the. room. This attendant should avoid inne•cessary contact with other occupants of.the house. 3. Flies should be rigidly exclud- ed from the sick rooms. Those• found in 'the room should be killed and not allowed to escape. House- hold pets should be •excluded from the sick room. 4.' Plantes, eups, glasses, knives, forks, spoon's, etc., used by the pa- tient, should lie kept for his use alone , • and should not be mixed with similar• utensils• used by others. They should be washed tin the room in holt soap suds, and then rinsed. in boiling wartier. 5. Remnants of food should not he As the most important aid teethe prevention of typhoid fever, the public should advocate and work for the instiallation xf a proper system of filtration of publi water sup- plies, House hold filters are, in a vast majority of cases, worse than useless, because they give a false sense of a security to the user..

The discharges from the. bow- elS_and kidneys should be received into a bed pan or vessel containing a solution of carbolic acid or corro- sive sublimate (see pamphlet on Dissnfeotion), and enough of the same added to cover them,, or boil- ing water may •be poured over the discharges. Solid masses should be broken up with a'stick, which cane burned, or a glass rod, Which can be disinfected. They should' stand the vessels for not less than an hour, and then emptied into the water closet where there are sew- ers, taking care not to soil the seats or covers. In the country it is best to deposit the. contents of the ves- sels in a :trench, which must be re- mote from, and, if possible, down hill, from the well or nearest water course. The trench Gould be four feet deep .and`two wide, and each deposit should immediately be well covered with quicklime and earth well beaten down, the trench cover- ed in with earth when half filled in this manner. Never throw the discharges on the suace, Riaiserfthe bed pans with disinfec- tant •solution at the trench, never near the well or water course. The urine or 'typhoid fever pa- tients contains the disease germs for many weeks after recovery, and should be treated as above until the health officer certifies that all dan- ger is past. 9. After waiting on the patient, after handling :anything soiled by the patient's discharges and before eating, the hands of the attendant should be thoroughly scrubbed in hot soap suds. Care should be taken to atooid soiling door knobs or anything handled by others. The attendant should not touch any food or dishes used by others.

When the final disinfection of the room and its contents has been ordered by the health officer, the entire body of the patient should be bathed and the hair washed with hotsoap suds.

It hangs in the Hall at Buekland Palace. Will Drake's, drum be beaten now for the third 'tixne4 In the great hall ,at Buckland Abbey in Devon- shire, a few miles from Plymouth,— the ,ancestral home of the family of Sir Fraeicis Drake,—there hangs an ancient drum of a pattern not known these hundred years. It is the :famous durum of the great Eng- lish sea fighter, his companion throughout his whole •adventurous career. It heat the signals on his flagship when he scattered the Spanish Armada; it went with him on the first British ship that went round the world, and ib wounded the taps when, •after his death .at sea in the West Indies, hie body was e•om- mitted to the waters of the Atlan- tic Ocean. - When Drake bay dying, so ruins the, tradition, he commanded his, brother, who was 'a .captain ofone of 'the ships in the British fleet, to take his drum back to England, tend hang it in his hall 'at'Buckland Abbey. Whenever danger threat- ened Britain let them sound on that drum., and his spirit would enter. into the British ,admiral and scatter his •country's foes as he had done in the days gone by. His brother did as he was commanded, and .af:� ter .three centuries the drum still hangs in Buckland Abbey, which is now in •bhe posseseioii of a descencl- ent of Drake's brother. Twice, runs the legend, has he drum been sounded -aid not in vain; once, in the generation after Drake's dearth, when the Dutcah sought to wrest the control of the seas from the British, and the doughty Admiral an Tr'emp sailed np the British Channel with a broom art his masthead, to signify that he would sweep the English from ,bhe ocean. At els sound the spirit of Drake entered into Ad- miral Blake, • who triumphed over the eenqueri-ng Dutch. Again, when the . genius;. of Napoleon threatened the very existence of the British Empire, the drum was sounded, •and Drake's spirit ani- mated the greatest of English sea fighters --Admiral Nelson. - And now, when Britain is in- volved in the greatest war of her history, it is said that Drake's drum will again be sounded—to raise up, if the legend be true, the spirit of the. old captsin for' the third time. The old tradition is the alibied of a poem by an English }writes, Henry Newbolt. The poem makes the great sea fighter, dying in his berth, exclaim : "Take my drum to England, hang et by the slhore, • Strike' et .when your powder's runnin' low ; If the Dons sight Devon, I'll quit, the port o' heaven An' drum then up the Channel as we drummed thein long - ago ,, • Willie—Say, teacher, to -morrow's my birthday-.
