When rhubarb is as quickly grown and 
tender as it should be. it does not need peel- 
ing: cut in short pieces, put in a porcelain- 
lined kettle and cover with sugar: stand on 
the back part of the stove till the sugar 
melts, then bring slowly to the boiling point. 
Let it simmer till clear and syrupy, when 
it is either ready for use on the table or to 
lie canned like any other fruit. 
To cure and smoke shad. Scale and 
open up the back, take out roe etc , and 
wipe with a damp cloth, but do not wash 
them. To twenty pounds of fish, mix a 
pint each of salt and brown sugar, and an 
ounce of saltpetre. Rub the first well in- 
side and out with this and pile one on top 
of another with a board on top with heavy 
weights on it. Let them lie there for 
about two days and three nights then drain, 
wipe dry. and stretch open with small sticks. 
Smoke them for five days. Any other large 
fish may be prepared in the same way, and 
will make an appetizing relish for brekfast. 
When obtainable mushrooms are a great 
improvement to sweet breads. The latter 
should be thrown at once in cold water, and 
after soaking, be trimmed free from fat, 
thrown into salted boiling water and sim- 
mered for fifteen minutes. Put in a cold 
place, and when ready to use them, pick 
them to pieces and remove all pipes and 
membranes: cut in small pieces; chop half a 
dozen mushrooms very fine. Put to melt a 
tablespoonful of butter, add the same of 
flour and stir till smooth, add a cup of 
cream and stir until it boils and thickens. 
Put in th 3 mushrooms and sweet breads, 
and stir over the steam of a tea kettle for 
five minutes, and season with salt and pep- 
per. A calf’s brain treated just the same 
way as the sweet bread and added increases 
the amount, without adding much to the 
expense. 
Cocoanut jumbles are good, and are eas- 
ily made: to half a pound of grated cocoanut 
add two tablespoonfuls of its owui milk, half 
a pound of sugar, the wliites of two eggs, 
and two tablespoonfuls of flour. Grease a 
pan and drop in small cakes, making, if you 
like, a hole in the middle with the tip of the 
spoon. Bake quickly. 
I lie Daughter’** Room. 
Every young girl likes and ought to have, 
if practicable, a room of her own where 
she can be alone when she wishes, — a sanc- 
tum where none shall enter uninvited, a 
place to keep her treasurers, her photo- 
graphs and books and keepsakes, and which 
she can decorate as her own taste, and in- 
dustry and neatness dictate. These are 
more important acquisites toward making 
an attractive room than much money. If 
she cannot afford a carpet, pretty matting 
comes at twenty-five cents a yard, or the 
floor can !*e stained, and rugs knitted, or 
braided, or made of a breadth of an old 
cloth dress, cardinal or dark blue, or any 
color she has selected as the prevailing one 
for her room, although the present style of 
furnishing calls for all colors to be present. 
This breadth may be lined with coarse bat- 
ting to give it body, and embroidered in 
crewels in some bold design, quickly done. 
If her bed is ever so plain and humble it 
will look cosy and inviting if clean and 
neatly made and draped with long curtains 
made of a wide breadth of scrim drawn 
through a large curtain ring suspended 
from the ceiling near the head, drawn back 
and tied with ribbons; there may be long 
window curtains to match. If the walls 
are soiled or bare they may be made hand- 
some and artistic-looking by a dado formed 
of a strip of the floor matting (the dark 
shades look best) running around the room 
and finished at the top by a walnut “bead- 
ing’’ which costs but a few cents a yard. 
Another strip should finish the lo ' er edge 
of the half breadth forming the freize and 
from it can be suspended the pictures. The 
intermediate wall space might be covered 
with the cheapest of wall paper put on with 
the wrong or plain side out. Its soft color 
makes an excellent background.
