Beef Juice and Beef Teas. 
(continued.) 
in the pot to boil, as that would overcook 
the tea. 
Another way is to place the jar con¬ 
taining the beef and water on the ice 
for several hours, strain it, and cook the 
juice so obtained in a bowl set in a pan 
of water on the stove, cooking and stir¬ 
ring carefully until it looks thick and 
brown like chocolate. A pleasant change 
is made in either of the above teas, by 
adding a little celery salt or a few drops 
of onion juice. Add salt, but not pep¬ 
per, as the latter is not a food. The 
meat from which beef tea has been 
made is so dry and tasteless that it is fit 
for nothing but to throw away. 
Dr. Weir Mitchell gives in one of his 
books, a recipe for a nutritious and eas¬ 
ily-digested tea which he calls raw soup. 
Like all of these foods, it should be 
given to the sick only on the day it is 
made. 
Raw Bkef Soup. —Chop one pound of 
raw beef, and place in a bottle with one 
pint of water and five drops of hydro¬ 
chloric acid. This mixture is to stand 
on ice all night, and in the morning, the 
bottle is set in a pan of water at 110 de¬ 
grees F., and kept two hours at this tem¬ 
perature. It is then strained through a 
cloth. If the raw taste is very objec¬ 
tionable, the meat may be quickly roast¬ 
ed on one side, acd then proceed as 
above. 
The recipe is quoted exactly as given 
by Dr. Mitchell. He uses it as an adjunct 
to other food, and gives one patient the 
above quantity in a day. The acid may 
be omitted, but is added to extract more 
of the nourishment and begin the process 
of digestion, and of course, only hydro¬ 
chloric acid will do. Water at 110 de¬ 
grees may be borne by the hand, but 
would feel uncomfortably hot to the 
rest of the body. Since water reaches a 
temperature of 212 degrees before it 
boils, it is evident that the meat at 110 
degrees is really not cooked at all. 
Easily-Digested Meat. —But by any 
of these methods we cannot get all the 
nourishment out of meat in a liquid 
form ; and where it is allowed there are 
two nice ways of serving the meat it¬ 
self to a patient needing very strong and 
easily-digested fcod. It is doubtful 
whether the sheaths of the fibers are 
digested by the human being, though 
they help to make up the necessary bulk 
of food for a person in health, and on 
long boiling, they yield gelatin; still, 
our invalid does not want them, so in 
preparing the following dishes, scrape 
the meat, getting out as much as possi¬ 
ble of the soft reddish substance that 
forms the interior of the fibers. This 
can be used as a filling for sandwiches, 
being salted and spread between slices 
of day-old bread, and the patient need 
not know that he is eating raw meat; or 
it can be formed into balls the size of a 
small bean, and cooked a minute on a 
clean, hot frying-pan. Sprinkle a speck 
of salt on the hot, ungreased pan, and 
drop in the balls, toss them about by 
shaking the pan until they are slightly 
brown all over, but red and uncooked 
within, as the authorities inform us that 
this muscle substance is more easily di¬ 
gested when raw. They will be more 
pleasant to sight and taste than actually 
raw meat, as the outside cooking devel¬ 
ops the flavor. Alice Augusta smith. 
A Canadian Women’s Institute 
About a year ago, the women of Salt- 
fleet, Ontario, feeling the need of an in¬ 
stitute similar to the farmers’ institute, 
organized into a society, calling it the 
Women’s Institute of Saltfleet. It is in¬ 
tended to afford the same benefits to 
farmers’ wives and'daughters as the farm¬ 
ers’ institute does to the farmer. The 
following are some of the more import¬ 
ant objects : To promote such a knowl¬ 
edge of household science as shall lead to 
a better and a labor-saving management 
of the home in its various branches, 
special attention to home sanitation; the 
economic and hygienic value of foods and 
fuels ; a more scientific care of children, 
with a view to raising the general stand¬ 
ard of the health of the people. 
For the better carrying out of the ob¬ 
jects of this Institute, it is divided into 
six branches, as follows : Domestic econ¬ 
omy, architecture, with special attention 
to home sanitation, light, heat, etc. ; 
physiology, hygiene, medicine, calisthen¬ 
ics, etc.; floriculture, horticulture, music 
and art; literature and sociology. The 
officers consist of a president, two vice- 
presidents, a treasurer, secretary, and 
three directors, who constitute the ex¬ 
ecutive committee. 
Papers are read by the members on the 
various subjects. An important feature 
is the question drawer, by means of 
which many valuable questions are asked 
and answered through discussion by the 
members; thus the practical ideas of 
many timid women are brought to the 
front. This institute has been affiliated 
with the farmers’ institute, and the 
Government has granted them $10 a year 
on condition that the county council or 
township council grant the same amount, 
and I am proud to say that it has been 
granted. The institute wilknow be in 
a better position to add to the reading 
course, the Chautauqua Course of Do¬ 
mestic Science. 
The society meets fortnightly, during 
the Fall and Winter, but during the busy 
Summer months, it is postponed. We 
hope that the time is not far distant 
when districts less favored than Saltfleet 
shall have the mutual help and social 
benefit which are to be derived from such 
an organization. h. m. corman. 
The Care of Gloves. 
Gloves, in their first estate, are a some¬ 
what expensive article of feminine dress, 
tays a writer in Harper’s Bazar. It is sel¬ 
dom good economy to purchase very cheap 
gloves, as they are liable to tear when 
putting on, to rip easily, or to develop 
somewhere a thin place which betrays 
one at an untimely moment. The frugal 
manager prefers to spend more upon her 
gloves at the outset, and have them last 
longer, and she makes up for the addi¬ 
tional expense by taking care of this 
part of her wardrobe. 
When gloves are removed from the 
hand, they should not be pulled off a 
finger at a time, but the wearer should 
take hold of them at the top and peel 
them off, so that the whole glove is 
wrorg side out when it leaves her hand. 
If there is any moisture about the glove, 
it is well to leave it until it is entirely 
dry before turning it. Gloves require 
airing, just as other articles of dress 
do. When perfectly dry, the careful 
woman turns her gloves, pulls them out 
lengthwise, and lays them together as 
they were when she bought them in the 
store. If she is not expecting to wear 
them again for a few days, she folds 
them in tissue-paper, and lays them 
away in her glove-box. 
Those persons who are careful in these 
matters, at no time lay aside a glove 
without first seeing that it is mended 
and entirely in order for the next time of 
wearing. All gloves should, if possible, 
to some extent match the costume with 
which they are worn, and while there 
are caprices from time to time which 
suggest the wearing of white or of black 
or of some distinctly pronounced color 
in gloves ; yet no one goes amiss whose 
gloves do not make a false note in the 
effect of her toilet. 
As in the case of shoes, it is a good 
plan, if one can, to have several pairs in 
use at a time, the rule applying to 
gloves as well as to shoes. The fastidi¬ 
ous woman carefully keeps her best 
gloves by themselves, dons her second 
best for a shopping excursion or a daily 
walk, and preserves those which are 
even more worn for the market or the 
out-door errands of the morning, or fcr

low’s Soothing Syrup ” for your children

the walk taken simply for health, when 
she dresses for comfort rather than for 
style. 
Gloves for driving and wheeling are 
thicker than those for ordinary use, but 
equally require care. A glove may be 
spoiled as to shape for all time by heed¬ 
less putting on when first worn. Child¬ 
ren who are always losing their gloves 
should be taught to keep them in an ap¬ 
pointed place, and should be trained to 
have no heedlessness in this matter. 
A Handy String Ball. —The woman 
who carefully preserves the twine used 
to tie up the tea and sugar that comes 
into the house, saves herself many steps, 
and some wear and tear of temper. One 
housekeeper’s way is to take a strong 
cord (the kind used in hardware shops), 
long enough to reach from a molding 
near the ceiling, to a couple of feet above 
a table. One end is fastened securely to 
a small empty spool, upon which, from 
day to day, the bits of string that come 
to hand, are carefully wound. The other 
end is suspended from the molding, in a 
corner of the kitchen, where it is at once 
out of the way, yet conspicuous. The 
plan commends itself for its simplicity. 
That string ball is a downright comfort 
to every member of the family. s. d. c.
