changed often and be kept quite hot. Some 
say they add a little sugar to make up for 
what is lost in the preserving process. When 
done the last water should be drained off and 
milk or cream be added with some butter 
and pepper. 
CHERRIES. 
Dried cherries give better satisfaction to us 
than even the well-kept canned ones. About 
the flavor of them there is a richness that ex¬ 
ceeds that of those prepared in other ways. 
If one has a large crop of cherries it is well 
to try all ways of preserving them for Wiuter 
use. The pits were removed from them, and 
they were spread on plates and sprinkled lib¬ 
erally with sugar and dried in the warming 
closet. With close attention they may be 
dried quite fast. They are then packed in n 
jar and dry sugar put in between the layers. 
Well covered, they come out in prime order, 
and are easily prepared for the table.

THE SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW 
Parents, in deceiving their children are 
making one of the greatest mistakes of their 
lives. Even those apparently harmless de¬ 
ceits that many mothers practice toward 
their little ones, in many cases to avoid 
trouble, will surely leave their impress It is 
often best that a child should oot be told a 
certain thing, in which case tell him so truth¬ 
fully and kindly, and do not put him off with 
evasive answers or plausible stories. 
It is said that Americans traveling in Ger¬ 
many liud the beds at the inns most uncom¬ 
fortable. They are not only too short but 
extremely narrow and with bed-clothing not 
wide enough to <4 tuck in.” 
A mother recommends as a harmless sooth¬ 
ing potion for restless and crying children, 
hop tea, sweetened and given in tablespoon¬ 
ful doses.

A WEEK WITH THE RURAL8. 
During the busy Summer season our Ru- 
rals were scarcely half-read but in Decem¬ 
ber we made up for the omission by devoting 
all the spare time for a week to looking them 
over, copying such notes and suggestions as 
were most likely to be needed and making a 
note of other items—orratherof the headings 
of them—which might become useful, putting 
down with each the date of the paper contain" 
ing it. Our Handy Book of recipes, hints, 
helps, etc., acquired thereby a new richness 
which makes us regard it as something quite 
valuable. The time consumed—ten or a dozen 
hours in all—was well paid for, as we have 
already found. 
GRAHAM GINGER CAKE. 
The man at our house, a good Grahamite, 
took a fancy to have his favorite soft ginger- 
cake made of Graham flour, so he went to the 
Handy Book and compounded: Two cups 
molasses, two-thirds cup butter, four cups 
flour, one teaspoou soda in a cup of cold water 
and one teaspoon ginger with Graham flour, 
and we all agreed the cake was considerably 
improved. As our hens don’t lay he omitted 
the two eggs. _ z. c. 
CUP PLATES, ETC. 
Dear Domestic Economy: I plead igno¬ 
rance but am willing to learn. What are 
“ cup plates!’ 1 1 have bought dinner and tea 
sets and lately a breakfast set; but among 
them were no dishes that could be so classi¬ 
fied. Perhaps we are behind the times. Then 
as to napkins. I said our good talker ignored 
the fruit doyley. What can we use that will 
be clean and fine and unstained yet will not 
be “ easily spoilt ?" I am anxious to combine 
economy with tidiness, and am open to con¬ 
viction; but cannot understand what can be 
used to supply the place of the usual linen, 
and, seriously speaking, how can a family eu- 
joy a meal, or the children be taught to be at 
ease at a well appointed table, if they do not 
see it in the family circle I I always blame 
the early training of my friend, or rather the 
lack of it, that makes him so uncouth aud 
thoughtless. But 1 cannot get table linen 
that will not be “ spoilt" by stains, and it 
makes me “nervous" too. Shall we discard 
table cloths, and fold our hands, saying, 
“ Blessed be nothing”—to wash or stain t Ah ! 
my friend, this will not do. Where is the 
happy medium? Perhaps it is in “ cup plates.”
