milk, one teaspoonful of salt, one of soda, two 
of cream of-tartar, butter size of an egg. Sift 
a quantity of flour, then put four cups of it 
again into the sifter, with the salt, soda, and 
cream of tartar, sift all together, rub the 
butter thoroughly in, add the milk, and bake 
in a hot oven not over 15 minutes. Roll them 
out about one-half an inch thick. 
A cup measure should hold one-half pint. 
Now eggs are getting plenty, I will tell you 
how I make au omelette: One dozen eggs, one 
cup of milk, butter size of a small egg, salt 
and pepper to taste. Heat the milk with half 
the butter in it, beat the eggs well, adding the 
salt and pepper, beat in the hot milk. Grease 
the bottom and sides of your skillet (which 
should be hot) with the rest of the butter, turn 
in the egg mixture and bake in a hot oven. If 
rightly done, it will puff up nicely. Bake till 
solid, then run a knife around the edges, and 
with the aid of a cake turner, it will generally 
slip out easily, but if it is inclined to stick, I 
cover it with a clean towel .for a moment or

SCOURING BOARD. 
NAiLa pieceofwood, sizeofa knifeblade, 
and about an inch thick, as in the engraving 
Fig. 139 to the scouring board to rest the knife 
a 
on while scouring. This gives room for the 
knuckles,and obviates the necessity of laying 
out more strength scouring the board away, 
than in scouring the knife. A. c. c. 
HELPS! 
Something I saw in a late Rural about 
"keeping bouse without fuss” reminded me of 
what a stock drover once said in my bearing. 
"In traveling through the country,” said he, 
"when looking for a place to put up for the 
night, if we come to a farm house where 
everything is in good shape; that is. if the 
door yard fence is trim and nice, and the tools 
are all under the shed in their places, and the 
neatness indoors is of a corresponding kind, 
if we get leave to stay there we hardly dare 
draw a long breath, and do not enjoy our¬ 
selves at all and never wish to ston there again; 
hut if we get entertainment at a place where the 
door-yard fence is made of rails, and not half 
put up at that, and everything stands around 
handy, and in the house everything runs in 
the same wav. we are generally sure to enjoy 
ourselves, and to wish to go there again. Hos¬ 
pitality is not grudgiogly dispensed, and every¬ 
one is free to enjoy himself in his own way, 
and we leave such a place with regret ” Now 
is there not something to be learned from this* 
We need not undervalue order and neatness, 
but ought we to be so filled with these virtues 
that we destroy the comfort of even chance 
guests? Why need we break our constitutions 
in the almost hopeless endeavor to maintain 
a cast Iron way of living which takes away all 
real enjovment? 
Seeing an inquiry for "sour sauce,” I think 
I can furnish one that will be acceptable for 
steamed puddings. A half pint, or more, of 
vinegar, a few pieces of lemon cat fine and a 
heaping cap of sugar. Set all on the stove 
and bring to the boiling poiut. Stir flour 
into a tablespoonful of butter and thicken the 
gravy with this. Remove from the fire as 
soon as it seems cooked. If the vinegar of 
which the sauce is made is strong, add half 
water to it. 
CORN-STARCH CAKE. 
Whites of seven eggs, one cup of butter, 
two cups of sugar, one cup of corn starch, 
two cups of floor, one cup of sweet milk, oi>e 
half teaspoonful of soda, one of creatn-of- 
tartar stirred in the flour. 
LEMON PIE. 
One lemon, one cup of sugar, one of water, 
two spoons of corn Btareb. 
MRS. R. M.’S SPONGE CAKE. 
Three eggs, one cup of sugar, one of flour, 
one teaspoonful of soda dissolved in four 
tablespoonfuls of milk, two of eream-of-tar- 
tar mixed with the flour. Put sugar in the 
dish tirst, then eggs, then flour and other 
materials. * Beat all well together five min¬

The peculiar taint of scrofula lurks in the 
constitutions of multitudes of men, but 
can be expelled by the use of Ayer’s 
.Sarsaparilla. M. J. C’omvay, 337 Hicks 
st.. Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: “ Two years 
ago I was examined, at the Long Island 
Hospital, in this city, and my case was 
ilcclared to be Salt Rheum. Large scales 
covered my legs, and were constantly 
dropping off; my eyes, also, were badly 
affected. My only relief was in warm salt 
water baths. I was unable to remain in a 
warm room, and could only sleep under 
very light bed-clothes, as the heat increased 
the burning and Itching. The use of 
i is the time to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla 
, A. F. Willard, Rogers’ building, Boston. 
Mass., says: “I know of no remedy of 
equal efficacy with Ayer’s Sarsaparilla in 
cases of debility, and as a spring medi¬ 
cine.” RichM II. Lawrence, M. D., Balti¬ 
more. Md., writes: "It affords me pleasure 
to testify to the success which Ayer’s 
Sarsaparilla has had iu the treatment of 
cutaneous ami other diseases, arising from 
a vitiated condition of the blood. Were it 
necessary, I might give you the names of 
fifty individuals who have been cured of 
long-standing complaints, by the use of 
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. IT is a specific for 
the most obstinate cases. Ayer’s Sar- 
Ayer's Sar saparilla 
saparilla gave me great relief. The itch¬ 
ing abated, and I continued to improve 
until the cure was complete.” 
is, without exception, the best blood puri¬ 
fier and prophylactic with which I am 
acquainted.”
