Saturday.—T o-day, while we were busy doing 
up our work, we had a visit from old farmer Tomp¬ 
kins. He Is affable and tmelUgent, and Interested 
In all good works, but after dinner Celia said to 
me, in a complaining tone, “ Why does Mr. Tomp¬ 
kins put his knife In his mouth so much when he 
eats bis dinner?” Her aggrieved manner was 
amusing for one so young, and I told her that old 
people were allowed many of their old-fashioned 
ways that were not tolerated among a younger 
generation. I once spoke to an old gentleman an 
the subject, and he answered me: “Fashion, 
ma’am, fashion- the difference between cutting 
with a kulfe and spearing with a fork.” I must 
own, however, that I am somewhat like Cells, and 
do not think Lbere was any need of farmer Tomp¬ 
kins using his knife as a shovel, or making a dive 
at a piece of cheese at dessert with the same im¬ 
plement, then, after lifting it In that way, convey¬ 
ing It to his mouth. Children are very observing, 
and their remarks often denote more thought lhau 
we give 1 hem credit for. “ I think, mamma,” said 
a little girl lately, “ you ought to go to school and 
learn grammar.” This remark was caused by the 
outspoken child noticing UUlo breaches of gram¬ 
matical rules In her mother's conversation. 
We were talking at table to day about frogs as 
food, some of our city friends regarding them as a 
delicacy. I do not think I could be Induced to eat 
them, though my 1 toy friends who do so are very 
dainty In ihelr food and manner of cooking. Karen 
brought Mrs. Henderson's Cook Book, and we read 
the instructions there given for rrog manipulation. 
She says: “ Frogs are such a delicacy It Is a pi y 
not to prepare them with care. Thehlud legs only 
are us to. They may be mado Into a broth the 
same us chicken broth, and are considered very 
advantageous diet lor those suffering from pul¬ 
monary affections. To fry, put lu salted boiling 
wafer w 1th a little lemon Juice and bull three min¬ 
utes ; wipe them ; dip in cracker dust, then In egg 
(halt a cuprul of milk mixed in t wo eggs ai d rcu- 
soned with pepper and sail); then again In cracker 
crumbs. When they are ail breaded clean off the 
bone at the end with a diy cloth. Put them in a 
wire basket and dip them In boiling lard to fry. 
Put a little paper on the end of each bone, place 
them on a hot platter in the form of a circle, one 
overlapping the other, with French pease In the 
center. Serve Immediately while they are crisp 
and hot.” Such an air of disdain as wo all put on 
at the very recipe, but tastes differ, and it la a good 
thing for t he world that they do. 
How enjoyable a Saturday afternoon always 
seems to me. I think the children will remember 
all their lives that this day was different to the 
others - not by lla extra house-work, but by the 
quiet and added neatness consequent on the prep¬ 
aration tor the Sabbath. Of course, t have more 
care than wben Janet was here—a real Ae/p-but 
we are happier than If depending upon unskilled 
aid iroin unlmeresied people; ana 1 think when 
there are young girls in a household It Is the best 
and safest course to have lhem learn the details 
of housekeeping without the Intervention or a ser¬ 
vant, and. much as i he wealthy Ignore the duties 
of home, It la a fact known to more than the poet 
Saxe “ That wealth's a bubble that comes—and 
goes.” As an old lady I once knew used to say, 
“ ‘Can do’ Is easily carried about.” The cares of 
housekeeping are lightened or made heavier ac¬ 
cording to the manner of the Inmates, and If 1 
were to mention mree blessings necessary to In¬ 
sure comfort In doing one’s own w ork, l should 
say, first, a husband and children who are mind¬ 
ful and self-helpiul; second, good kltcbon appli¬ 
ances, and, third, plenty of soft water In the 
kitchen. With these “helps " one pair of hands 
and the little helpers can do a great deal, and It I 
wished to fctaw the housekeeper’s bane lu the 
same class, l should say, first, a smoky chimney 
and used-up stove; second, untidy men folks, and, 
tne ODly water for use farther than a stone's 
throw off. So many women have to work with 
poor utensils that l am sure Mrs. Lewis’s new 
stove, of wulch notice has been giveD In the Rural 
and elsewhere, should be in every house, If only 
to save the back-ache, to which we women are so 
subject, and which Is greatly augmented by the 
low, Inconvenient stove. 
ICE CREAM. 
CHIEF COOK. 
The lngr clients for ice cream of the finest qual¬ 
ity are as simple as those for pound cake—only 
QUESTIONS ANSWERED. 
Can you tell me the cause and prevention of 
Infants repeatedly vomiting up their food ? At 
first, after nursing, the milk looks fresh aod 
sweet when thrown up, but afterwards It 
look3 like thick, sour mtlk. The child generally 
seems well but very fretful. I have beard It 
said that It Is a sign of a healthy child, but 1 have 
seen Just as healthy children as mine who never 
throw up their milk. It does not seem comforta¬ 
ble for the child to do so, besides being very un¬ 
cleanly. My babe is six weeks old and every 
hour that she Is awake she vomits up her milk 
more or less. I have had eight children and they 
all have done the same until ihey were six months 
old, when they begin to substitute other food for 
breast milk For ought I know, I work and eat 
as other mothers do so 1 cannot see why my chil¬ 
dren should toe so (roubled. 
ANSWER l}Y T. H. n , M. D. 
It Is Impossible to make a posli Ive prescription 
without seeing the case. A few questions to ihe 
mother and an examination of the child would 
give a clear view not attainable otherwise. The 
most frequent cause of vomiting the milk la the 
pernicious custom of giving the etitld the breast, 
too frequently and Irregularly. Moihers say It 
Is done to stop crying, and take the cry as a 
sign or hunger, when realty It may be due to re¬ 
pletion, or colic caused by over-feedlDg, or too 
frequeut reeding. The children of vigorous fam¬ 
ilies, Itiherulng strong digestive organs will suffer 
little, perhaps, from tills bad method, while more 
delicate infanta are got into a bad condition very 
soon, and lay the foundation of a poor digestion 
and life-long ailments In consequence of irrational 
nursing. Once in three hours is often enough to 
nurse a child. After six months one nursing in 
the night is enough. Above all things, don't sup¬ 
pose that every time a child cries it. must be put 
to the breast. The vomiting Is nature's way of 
relief and lu that sense It is " Healthy.” Don't 
use “ soothing sirups.”

Flavor# for lee dream. 
Flavors of all ktnd3 can be purchased at grocers’ 
and druggists’ stores, and may be added to suit 
the taste; a flavor may be too rich but never let 
It he poor. It lemon or orange Juice, or the Juices 
of sour fruits are used, do not add them to the 
cream till It is half frozen or they will turn the 
cream sour. 
Water Ices. 
These are made of the juice of very ripe fruits, 
such as peaches, plums, pears, apples, cherries, 
strawberries, raspberries, pln&apples, lemons, 
oranges and tamarinds. Select fruits having a 
very rich Juice, add sugar to taste, and freeze as 
for Ice cream, except that this will not llBe as 
cream does, 
Frozen Fruit. 
This is exactly like water ices, except that one 
portion of the fruit Is used to furnish the Juice, and 
another to be out up into small pieces, mixed in 
the juice, sweetened to taste and frezen as before. 
In regard to sweetening frozen confectionary, one 
thing must be noticed, that Is, that cold destroys 
the sweet taste, and what would be very sweet if 
eaten warm, would be quite Insipid when frozen. 
This will aecouut for the sickening sweet taste of 
ice cream which has become melted down tn tbe 
dish by heat. 
Iced Fruit, 
select very floe bunches of grapes, currants, 
raspberries, etc,, eto . on their stems; remove all 
imperfect berries; dip them In wtlie ofeggtem- 
pered with water, or weak gum arable water. 
Sift finely pulverized sugar over them; 9et away 
to dry and then serve. Any larger fruits of rleh 
flavor, such as apples, pears, plums, peaches, may 
he Iced In the same way, whole or sliced Into or¬ 
namental shapes after removing the Beeds. In the 
hands or a lady of taste In decorating, Iced fruit is 
always a great success on a table. 
cream (not milk), sugar and flavor. Notice that 
there are no eggs, no corn starch, no boiling, no 
nonsense. Take fresh cream. To every quart add 
a half pound of pulverized sugar, mix these well 
In the freezer; do not add the flavor till the cream 
Is partly frozen. The freezer (of such size as will 
hold twice as much cream as you put In It) must 
be placed In a wooden tub three Inches larger all 
round, and six Inches higher than the freezer 
when covered. Break up some ice to the size of 
walnuts; set the freezer In and throw In some 
salt—about, one quarter the bulk of the Ice. Coarse 
salt Is be3t, but any kind will do. Fill up around 
the freezer within three Inches of its top when un¬ 
covered, with alternate layers of ice and salt In 
the same proportion as before. Let the cream 
and sugar stand until they begin to freeze around 
the sides of the freezer; then begin to beat with 
an “ ice-cream beater, the only tool which will 
make superior Ice cream. This Is a tin paddle 
something In the shape of a spoon, with a stout 
wooden handle about as thick as a broom handle. 
The heater may he six inches long by four Inches 
wide. Any Unman who makes freezers can make 
one. 
Set the freezer In Its tub where you can walk 
around It, and heat the cream by a peculiar stroke 
down the sides of tho freezer so as to scrape at 
every stroke the frozen cream from its sides; con¬ 
tinue this till the whole mass Is perfectly fine, and 
until the cream has risen’ tm the freezer Is nearly 
full. This la the perfection ot loe cream making. 
When so rar done cover It np, fill up to the top of 
the tub with ice and salt as before; lay a blanket 
or piece of carpet over all; set away in a cool 
place for three hours to ripen. Then serve gener¬ 
ously, as very few people except in Philadelphia, 
(where this mode Is universal) ever get such a 
dish. Serve two flavors on the same plate, like 
lemon and strawberry, etc.
