Trichinosis; The Cooking of Pork. 
Tlie following directions for well cooking the 
flesh of pigs we take {j-om a circular published by 
the corporation of Birkenhead, England, during 
the recent trichinosis scare. 
'•Hams, sausages, and like articles, whether or 
not they have been smoked or salted, should never 
be eaten In the raw state. 
To be efficient for the required purpose, the 
cooking or pork, ot hams, and 01 her articles should 
be prolonged f ir about hair as much time again 
as is oua torn ary. The smallest Joint, should be 
cooked ror not less than an hour, and whatever 
be the sum of the Joint it should not have less than 
halt an hour's cooking for each pound of meat. 
No part of a ] Jlnt mat It seen to have an under¬ 
done portion in it should he eaten iu boiling bams 
or pork, the mem. should be put into cold or luke¬ 
warm water, and the period ot cooking should 
be reckoned from tin*, time when the water bolls. 
In boiling several Joints or pork or several hams 
(as required at Institutions und elsewhere), they 
should not be put together lu bulk at the same 
time into the same vessel. Each joint should be 
putlDto a separate vessel and boiled with a good 
quantity ot water.” 
We advise our pork-eatJng friends to give a 
thought to the above.

me If soda and cream or tartar are used In the re¬ 
cipe ror pound cake ? I cannot understand how 
the cake wm be perfectly light without soda. 
Please give the recipe in jv.ll 
We believe the recipe was given lu full In 
the Rural Nbw-Yokkbr or March 2 d. ir Mrs 
James will carefully read the directions given 
by chief cook, she will at once see that the 
Ingredient* are butter, sugar, eggs arid flour 
and -nothing more. III.* the thorough be,rung or

ANOTHER WEIK FROM MRS. CLAY’S 
JOURNAL. 
ANNIE L. JACK. 
Tuesday. There was a church social laBt night 
a few miles off, and as I had been appointed to 
recite, and Nora with Karen and Celia were 
part of the musical programme, it became a 
question how we iliould get alotg without Janet. 
But Lonsdale offered his services as nurse, wllh 
papa to look alter the house, and as 1 was sure 
baby would sleep all of the evening I consented to 
go without any grave misgivings. And the result 
wan ail 1 cou d expect, for everything was peace¬ 
ful on our return, and I was glad to find a boy 
could be a safe nousekeept r. It is a great mistake 
not to teach ooys as well as girls to help In the 
kliclien and to take It as a part ot hla dudes to 
pare potatoes, clean knives and help with the 
dishes, and In the long Winter evenings to knit 
and mend for himself. i t is a part of his education 
that w ill be very userul to him In after lit”. But 
you mint begiu young before other habits are 
icnnt d, or H may not. be possible to accustom him 
to the work as a matter or course. 1 do not think 
any action ot a young lad can lower him more In 
my opinion In domestic mat'era than the actof 
giving his boots i o his sister to clean, as la the. case 
in some famines. Of course, it is the parents' 
fault In the nrst place; but it shows a lack of com¬ 
mon courie’-y on me part or any young man to ex¬ 
pect this work to be so done that he is fully as able 
to attend lo as a y out g girl. 
in using the last of our celery lately, we made a 
Oral resolve to plant more or this pleasant, re- 
tresblng vegetable. For those who like It, nothing 
is better In April days than a relish of Its crisp, 
tender stalks tor tea, before radishes are pleuilful. 
As a corrective to tue system, now that fruit Is 
getiing scarce, I inlnklt 13 valuable. I was say¬ 
ing to day during dessert, mat I hoped some day 
beioie long ihere would be found a grape lhat will 
keep, and a way of keeping It—to give us more va¬ 
riety In our Winter fruits. I have tried several 
plans, but the Double is lhat the berries drop off 
the bunches, and deiy all the recipes. Neither do 
they can successfully, though as a jelly the Con¬ 
cord Is quite a neat at this season ot the year, 
llow giaa one ft els at the days lengthen toragood 
supply of pristi vts and Jelly. 1L seems lu country 
places ihc worst season lor pies and puddings, un¬ 
less one has pltniy of tfcgs. A tub supply of 
Canned nuit Is wholesome and prolltable, some¬ 
thing the housekeeper can appreciate after her 
hot cummer’s work, bho will itnd it usetui “ at- 
ter many days,” and It is a comiort to think that 
there Is some coiupeLsallun lor a housekeeper'a 
ton, for l do not wonder mar at limes one ret Is in¬ 
clined to le weaiy ot weil doing. “It things 
would only slay done lor a while,” 1 said, as 1 
washed Alex s race lor me ( ui to time, but things 
have to he none over and over again until the 
veiy routine giows wearisome. 1 ao uot know of 
anything that is a more giateiul change In a wo 
man’s die, limn lhat bioughL by Urn eeasons-lt 
s-be can give her mind to gardening. The chang¬ 
ing dowels mat come and go, me interest one can 
letl in their habits and auiatlon, wlih the care of 
cuiuva non Is a good panacea lor care and discon, 
tent, ana brings one nearer to Nature than any 
other occupation can no.

BREAD HEAVY IN STREAKS. 
In setting bread to rise, If tbe bottom of the pan 
la too cool and the armosphere at the top of the 
loaf too hot, there will be a heavy blue streak at 
the bottom or the loaf and great unsightly bubbles 
at t he top after It couies irom the oven. To avoid 
this, set the pan on warm bricks, cover with a 
cloin, and put it In the oven Just before It la light 
enough. 1 he best bread Is w en kneaded to create 
small, even and regular bubbles, as there is a more 
perfect •• rise," the evaporation la much lees, aud 
the bread when brought to the table Is more moist. 
No one likes coarse looking bread, distended with 
large bubbles aud as dry as a chip, chikn Cook.

KOBRIN’S WASHER 
is not the statement of Mrs. M. U. a little far¬ 
fetched regarding the Bobbin's Washer? That 
hctij a cord Qfwood certainly goes beyoud anything 
1 have set n, though doing the washing fora dozen 
lu a family. It would not do to dep; ud wholly on 
the washer, but if the rules are observed it does 
not lake long for a thick, full, constant stream ot 
water to act upon the clothes and help the cleans¬ 
ing. For 11 luaels, bedclothes and coaise, rough 
clothes it Is admirable aud labor-saving. I was 
sorry to see such a sweeping assertion. The great¬ 
est fault will be if the outer coat wears off, as was
