To  make  an  almond  ring  a  piece  of 
coffee  dough  about  10  ounces  in  weight  is 
rolled  into  an  oblong  about  4x8  inches, 
and  the  almond  filling  spread  upon  it.  It 
is  then  rolled  up  as  you  would  roll  a  holt 
of  cloth.  Then  stick  one  end  into  the 
other  forming  the  ring.  Place  on  the 
pan  it  is  to  be  baked  upon  and  put  away 
to  raise.  Hake  in  an  oven  not  too  hot,  u.s 
the  filling  is  Somewhat  heavy  and  re¬ 
quires  about  .‘!0  minutes  to  bake  Follow¬ 
ing  is  a  recipe  for  the  filling:  Rub  up 
one  pound  almond  paste  with  two  eggs 
until  no  lumps  are  present.  Add  one 
pound  cake  crumbs  (which  have  been  run 
through  a  food  chopper),  a  big  pinch  of 
cinnamon,  about  eight  ounces  butter  and 
enough  eggs,  milk  or  water  to  bring  it  to 
a  consistency  to  allow  spreading  upon  the 
dough  with  a  knife,  not  super.  If  you 
have  no  cake  crumbs,  bread  or  roll 
crumbs  will  do.  but.  add  a  half  pound  of 
sugar.  You  can  leave  out  the  almond 
paste  if  you  wish  and  add  a  drop  of 
bitter  extract  of  almond  instead.  This

From  Day  to  Day 
The  Mistletoe 
Under  the  mistletoe,  pearly  and  green, 
Meet  the  kind  lips  of  the  young  and  the 
old ; 
Under  the  mistletoe  hearts  may  be  seen 
Quivering  as  though  they  had  never 
been  cold  ; 
Under  the  mistletoe  peace  and  good-will. 
Mingle  the  spirits  that  long  have  been 
twain ; 
Leaves  of  the  olive  branch  twine  with  it 
still. 
While  breathing  of  hope  falls  the  loud 
carol  strain  ; 
Yet  why  should  this  holy  and  festival 
mirth 
In  the  reign  of  old  Christmas-tide  only 
be  found? 
Ilang  up  Love's  mistletoe  over  the  earth. 
And  let  us  kiss  under  it  all  the  year 
round.  — Anonymous.

DURHAM  HOSIERY  MILLS  HIS/  H| 
A  Chicago  educational  institution  is 
conducting  an  experiment  in  scientific 
catering,  to  see  just,  how  little  expense  is 
needed  to  provide  meals  for  an  average 
family.  It  was  the  idea,  at  first,  that  the 
minimum  amount  to  provide  three  meals 
for  one  person  would  lie  d0  cents  a  day, 
but  experience  proved  that  less  than  this 
was  required;  it  was  believed  after  a  few 
days’  trial  that  cost  could  be  brought 
down  to  10  cents  a  meal.  The  following 
is  ;i  sample  menu  for  one  day’s  meals: 
BREAKFAST  UPNCHEOX  DINNER 
Apples  Hamburger  Puree  cf 
Rolled  Oats  Steak  I.ima  Beans 
lint  Biscuit  Buttered’  New  England 
Butter  Ilominy  Boiled  Dinner 
Coffee.  Apple  Sane*  Bread  and 
Currant  Cake  Blitter 
Cocoa  Chocolate 
Blaae  Manse 
Tea. 
We  should  like  to  know  what  criticism 
our  housekeepers  would  make  of  these 
meals.  It  must  he  remembered  that  the 
people  fed  are  not  doing  hard  manual 
work.  The  dinner  seems  to  us  open  to 
some  criticism,  for  we  have  a  heavy 
soup,  a  heavy  main  course,  and  a 
starchy  d<  ssert.  The  beau  soup 
would  be  better  with  fish  some 
lighter  meat  course,  aud  the  heavy  boiled 
dinner  might  be  followed  by  some  light: 
fruit  dessert.  Where  farm  aud  garden 
provide  part  of  the  bill  of  fare  it  is  very 
hard  for  a  housekeeper  to  calculate  the 
real  cost  of  food,  though  it  is  a  necessary 
part  of  the  farm  accounts.  If.  however, 
the  women  of  the  family  work  the  gar¬ 
den,  they  ought  to  he  credited  with  the 
value  of  the  labor  they  contribute  to  the 
family  living.

It  is  not  uncommon,  at  this  season,  to 
read  a  brief  newspaper  item  recording 
the  destruction  of  a  farmhouse  by  fire, 
often  with  distressing  loss  of  life.  The 
details  are  usually  much  the  same;  an 
isolated  situation,  a  frame  building,  an  1 
no  fire-fighting  apparatus  at  hand.  How 
the  fire  starts  is  usually  a  mystery,  but 
there  is  always  the  possibility  of  defec¬ 
tive  flues,  or  woodwork  too  near  the 
chimney.  The  fact  that  such  fires  are 
most  common  in  very  cold  weather  shows 
that  the  danger  lies  in  heating  apparatus 
pushed  to  the  full  extent  of  its  power.  It 
is  the  part  of  wisdom  to  lie  sure  that  all 
heating  apparatus  is  in  perfect  Older; 
that  the  chimney  has  no  defects  that 
would  expose  woodwork  ;  that  there  are 
no  inflammable  hoards  in  close  proximity 
to  hot  stoves,  and  that  there  are  fire  ex¬ 
tinguishers  in  the  house,  and  some  form 
of  fine-fighting  apparatus  outside.  Where 
there  is  a  family  of  children,  we  should 
add  a  fire  drill,  which  may  prove  of  in¬ 
calculable  value  in  an  emergency.  Re¬ 
member,  too,  that  a  lighted  kerosene  lamp 
left  burning  all  night,  is  not  an  infre¬ 
quent  cause  of  fire.  It  may  explode,  or  it 
may  he  upset  by  a  pet  animal,  or  some 
unforeseen  accident.  If  it  lamp  must  be 
kept  burning,  see  that  it  is  a  properly 
safeguarded  night-light,  or  better  still,  use 
a  little  electric  torch.  The  United  States 
is.  perhaps,  the  most  extravagant  of  all 
countries  in  destroying  property  by  fire; 
there  is  certainly  need  in  many  rural 
communities  for  a  “safety  first”  cam¬ 
paign,  similar  to  that  promoted  by  the 
fire  department  in  large  cities.
