Oat-meal contains but very little gluten ; 
can also be varied by making them with sirup does not thicken by next, day, boil it er one, or a half fitting jacket, with vest 
the sugar only, or by putting in Zante cur¬ 
rants instead of cocoanut. If tiiese are left 
dry they will be crisp; if covered close 
while warm, they can be made perfectly 
tender. Such qualities, of course, at once 
over and pour on the fruit. Plums are deli¬ 
cious made in this way.

more easily thau fine flour. This is very 
prettily illustrated in the 
Oat-Menl Break last Cake 
made of No. 2 oat-meal, with water enough 
to saturate it, and little or no salt. Pour it 
into a halting tin half an inch or three- 
quarters deep, shake it down level, and 
■when this is done it should be so wet that 
two or three spoonfuls of water should run 
freely on the surface. Put it in a quick 
oven and bake twenty minutes. Eat warm. 
]t will be as light and tender as the best 
“Jolmny cake,” or else you have wet it too 
hard or baked it too long. This is one of 
the most accommodating baked dishes that, 
cun he made. It will do very nicely with a 
little longer time if the oven is not quite 
hot. If it will not bake there at all, pom it 
into a frying pan, cover it close and set it 
on the top of the stove, where il will even 
bake in fifteen minutes. For a hurried 
breakfast and a slow coal fire it is invalu¬ 
able. Scarcely any wholesome thing in the 
bread line can he prepared more readily, it 
can be made still thinner and baked quick¬ 
er. It is good either crisp or moist. For 
emergencies alone every housekeeper will 
find it convenient to be able to make this 
breakfast cake, Many use oat-meal mixed 
with buckwheat, wheat or corn for griddle 
cakes. For this use 1 prefer it cooked first. 
Take, say one-half pint of the* porridge or 
the mush, diffuse it iu one quart of water 
and add the wheat meal, sifliug it in and 
stirring slowly. Corn ditto, but buckwheat 
requires additional yeast or powders. 
Crncknein. 
Take No 1 oat-mcal, add one-ibird its hulk 
of' cold water, or barely enough to wet it. 
through, let it, stand or stir it from seven to 
ten minutes, then roll it out one-fourth of an 
inch thick, first, flouring the hoard and pin 
thoroughly. If the meal is the heat, it will 
cling together and can be set. up before afire 
and baked in one sheet. This is often called 
the Scotch bannocks, but I am convinced 
from the many descriptions of that article 
that the term Is applied to almost any kind 
of plain meal and water cake. It is also no 
uncommon tiling for the Scotch to add cara¬ 
way Bonds to Ibis bannock. I find it more 
convenient, not |.o say in better taste, Lo cut 
it out with a cake or biscuit, cutter. The 
oven must be moderate, and they must bake 
until they will snap readily between the 
thumb and fingers. They will scarcely bear 
a perceptible brown; they burn very easily, 
so that it i3 safest to put them in when the 
and to the unaccustomed eye not so attrac¬ 
tive, though that, is a .matter of taste. To 
my notion they are far preferable, even in 
appearance, to the crusts soaked in hog’s 
lard, which here iu the city have earned 
themselves the suggestive soubriquet of 
“scabs,” and they are certainly far more 
wholesome thau any shortened piecrusts 
whatever, To avoid the unaccustomed ap¬ 
pearance, however, tails, tart pics, and fruit 
and berry pies of many kinds can he made 
without au upper crust, or the upper crust 
can he removed after baking. Blackberry, 
raspberry, plum, peach, grape and many 
other kinds of pies can be made in this way. 
The crust bakes very quickly, so that any 
kind of fruit that requires much cooking 
should he cooked before it is put in. It also 
makes very pretty ornaments, cut. in various 
shapes, with cake cutters and laid upon the 
surface of tart pies; is agreeable to the taste, 
and very few persons would notice the dif¬ 
ference when made without an upper crust. 
As people come to recognize its wholesome- 
ness they will probably he brave enough to 
eat it openly. For my part I consider it in 
this shape an invaluable addition to whole¬ 
some food. People will have pies which, as 
now made, are almost universally admitted 
to he unwholesome. Why not have them 
at once wholesome and palatable, as all our 
food ought to be, and as 1 believe it can he, 
if we turn Olll* attention to the subject. 
Many dyspeptics, even, could eat of these 
pies with perfect safety ; 1 will not say all, 
for some have stomachs so sore that they 
can scarcely take food of any kind without 
pain ; but that does not prove the food to he 
hurtful, any more than it. proves that pure 
air is to ho condemned because it makes a 
raw sore smart.

spoonful in a pint of water applied with a 
" wash rag,” will cleanse the body and in¬ 
stantly remove all unpleasant scent of per¬ 
spiration, and you may then wash off in as 
much water as you like. No soap is neces¬ 
sary. It. is also an excellent remedy for the 
bite and stings of insects. I used nothing

diet among many people. We are told that 
the Highlanders take it merely lint with 
water to whatever consistency is agreeable 
to them. Sometimes they pour in jnsl 
scalding water enough to make “bullous” 
of it and then eat it in milk or in butter¬ 
milk. “ The soldiers of Oliver Crom¬ 
well, ” says Dr. Gwxdrod, “during all 
their laborious campaigns, carried with 
them knapsacks containing oaten meal, 
which, when hungry, they mixed with water. 
On this diet, for a considerable period, they 
principally subsisted, and sustained great

(3.) If a gentleman walks home from 
church with a lady, ought she to invite him 
to enter the house? 
(1.) A gentleman in calling upon a lady 
always lias regard for her pleasure in the 
matter, and Ibis lie infers from her manner. 
If lie make Specific, visits, he does so upon 
condition that the lady will have leisure to 
entertain him and be gratified to receive 
them. Such matters are usually ascertained 
incidentally, and not asked for outright as a 
matter of business. 
(3.) No. (3.) Yes, if she wishes him to do 
so; otherwise not, unless circumstances or 
get No. 1 meal, nor the host meal at that, I 
have found it more convenient to wet it up 
with hot water. Of this it will require near¬ 
ly half a pint, to a pint of meal. This sets at 
once, and it can he rolled out immediately 
and more easily than when wet with cold 
water. No. 1 or 2 can he used, though No. 
1 is better. These are good fresh, excellent 
for a lunch, capital for the harvest field, eaten 
with berries, and most desirable for a travel¬ 
er’s lunch, eaten with raisins. When made 
just right, of good meal, they have a slightly 
nutty flavor that is very agreeable to the 
taste, even of the uninitiated, so that they 
need no greasy butter nor odorous ham to 
make them go down. When carefully mas¬ 
ticated, they leave that rare satisfactory feel¬ 
ing which is the crowning grace of a good 
meal, and indeed, this may fairly be said of 
most preparations of oat-mcal. 1 f to lie kept 
some length of time, put them in close jars 
or pack in fresh oat-meal. The Scotch often

1 am told by a returned Californian that 
this practice is not uncommon among the 
hunters and trappers of the West, where 
oat-meal seems to lie taking the place of the 
parched corn of the Indian. It is a common 
thing for them also to make of it. a most
