A preparation of brandy and quinine 
which can be obtained of any first class 
druggist is an admirable hair tonic. To 
prevent the hair from falling out, the fol- 
lowing is highly recommended: One hun- 
dred grammes of alcohol, fifty of castor oil, 
two of rose water, and a teaspoonful of 
quinine. To be thoroughly rubbed into the 
scalp with the fingers three times a week. 
Papers. 
Almost all of us know that paper is a non- 
conductor of heat, and yet few of us make 
any practical use of this knowledge. 
Several layers of newspapers placed be- 
tween the carpet lining and the carpet, will 
prove a sure preventive of cold feet for all 
healthy persons. 
A chest protector, made of papers that 
will not rattle, and covered with flannel, 
answers the same purpose as the expensive 
ones sold by druggists. For wadding iron- 
ing holders, nothing is better than paper. 
When traveling, in cold weather, place 
one or two newspapers between your 
shoulder and the window, and you will be 
saved the stiff neck or lame back which so 
often follows the long car ride. 
At a hotel, where the bed coverings are 
insufficient, or when camping, newspapers 
spread between the blankets will nearly 
atone for the lack of an extra comforter. 
A piece of ice wrapped in newspapers will 
waste very slowly, even on a hot day, for 
the paper excludes heat as well as cold; and 
Seasonable Recipes. 
OLD-FASHIONED QUINCE PRESERVE. 
In preserving quinces, it is of the utmost 
importance to have the best fruit. Dry, 
hard, tough quinces will never make fine 
preserves, and are hardly worth fussing 
over. For a rich red preserve, like that 
which our grandmothers used to make, use 
good yellow quinces, pare and quarter them, 
but do not take out the cores. Put them 
over the fire, with just enough water to 
cover them, and simmer till they are soft. 
Take the pieces out carefully, and spread 
on platters. Allow one pound of sugar to 
every pint of the liquor. Let it boil a few 
minutes, skim, then put in the fruit very 
carefully, and boil slowly for half an hour. 
Now take up the quinces and fill the jars, 
after which boil the syrup another half 
hour, then fill up the jars with it. 
CHIPPED PEARS. 
Eight pounds of pears: eight pounds of 
sugar: one pint of water : four lemons 
sliced: from an ounce to a quarter of a 
pound of green ginger root, according to 
taste. Peel the pears, quarter, and cut in 
very thin slices, keeping the quarter shape 
so far as possible. Scrape the ginger root, 
slice very thin. Put all the ingredients 
together in a preserving kettle, and cook 
slowly seven hours. Avoid stirring the 
fruit, or breaking it while cooking. Anv 
of the common pears may be used in this 
way, and the result is a delicious preserve. 
three pounds of currants: three quaiters of 
a pound of citron: one half ounce of cloves: 
one and one half ounces cinnamon: one gill 
of brandy: one pint of sifted flour: one and a 
half teaspoons baking powder: eleven eggs.

it is also said that the wisest fishermen wrap 
their trout in papers’ which exclude the air 
so perfectly that they ke 'p fresh a long time. 
Cooking as a Profession. 
Now that the majority of girls wish to 
support themselves, it is a pity that more do 
not take up cooking as a profession. Those 
who have a natural taste in this direction 
will find it a pleasant and profitable employ- 
ment. while the knowledge and experience 
thus gained will be invaluable all through 
life. At present, the few professional cooks 
in the country are enjoying large incomes 
as the result of their labors, and there are 
not enough trained teachers of cooking to 
supply the demand. 
In all the large cities, there are now Cook- 
ing Schools where the necessary training 
may be obtained. The course usually includ- 
es not only practical cooking, but the chem- 
is try of cooking, as well as its physiologi- 
cal side. The tuition is generally a hun- 
dred dollars for a six month’s course. 
Upon graduation, the young woman finds 
several openings. She may be employed to 
teach cooking in the public schools; she 
may have private classes or give private 
lessons to individuals; she may take a posi- 
tion as cook in a hotel or boarding-house; 
or she may go into a hospital and teach the 
nurses how to cook for the sick. 
With such opportunities before our girls, 
we wonder that so few take advantage of 
them, while hundreds are preparing them- 
selves for the lets remunerative, and more 
wearing work of the ordinary teacher, — a 
profession that is sadly over- crowded. 
BROILED TOMATOES. 
Choose smooth, solid tomatoes, take out 
the stem end. salt and pepper them liberal- 
ly , and place this side down upon the grid- 
iron. TLirn often to prevent burning, and 
broil till they feel pulpy when pressed. 
Serve very hot, with a generous piece of 
butter in each open top, on slices of buttered 
toast. Served in this way, they have an 
odd delicious flavor, more delicate thau can 
be obtained by other methods of cooking, 
and as the first course for breakfast or lunch 
they are very fine. The best broiler for this 
purpose is an iron one that fits in the top of 
the range, with a close iron cover.
