From Day to Day. 
OF MYSELF. 
This only prant mo, that my means may lie 
Too low for envy, for contempt too high. 
Borne honor 1 would have, 
Not from great deeds, but good alone; 
The unknown are better than 111 known : 
Rumor enn ope the grave. 
Acquaintance I would have, but when ’t de¬ 
pends 
Not on the number, but the choice of friends. 
Hooks should, not business, entertain the light, 
And sleep, as undisturbed as death, the night. 
My house a cottage more 
Than palace; and should fitting be 
For all my use, no luxury. 
My garden painted o’er 
With Nature’s hand, not Art’s; and pleasure 
yield, 
Horace might, envy in his Sabine field. 
Thus would 1 double my life’s fading space; 
For he that runs It well twice runs his race. 
And In this true delight, 
These unbought sports, this happy state, 
I would not. fear, nor wish, my fate; 
But boldly say each night, 
Tomorrow let my sun his Peams display. 
Or In clouds hide them; I have lived to-day. 
—Abraham Cowley, (1618-1067).

Those who find that breakfast cereal 
does not digest well should cat with it 
very thin well-browned toast. i his in¬ 
sures careful mastication, and prevents 
the cereal from being swallowed too has¬ 
tily, which is in most cases, the cause 
of indigestion. We also like to cat figs 
or dates with cereal; the combination is 
pleasant, and it also aids in mastication.

A pretty holder for baby ribbon is 
made from a line embroidered hander- 
chief. The handkerchief is cut through 
from side to side, one piece about six 
inches deep, the other three inches. The 
narrower piece is sewn across the other, 
in each case the embroidery at the top, 
and then divided by feather-stitching 
into four little pockets with a very nar¬ 
row division at the end to bold a flat 
bodkin. Baby ribbon of different colors 
is wound upon flat cards, which slip into 
the pockets, and the case is then folded 
flat and tied with ribbon.

We were recently introduced to the 
granulated honey now put up by a dealer 
in pure bee products, and find it delicious. 
This honey is reduced to a smooth, 
rather dry paste, in color and consistency 
like butter; it is packed in neat paper 
cartons, in a square block. 1 he maker 
says that this granulated form may he 
reduced to liquid by melting over hot 
water. The great advantage of the gran¬ 
ulated honey is its convenience in ship¬ 
ping and handling, and it can certainly 
he served at the table much more neatly 
than the liquid, with its excessive sticki¬ 
ness, and the flavor seems entirely unim¬ 
paired. 
Baked apple sauce is a new idea to us. 
Wash and rub dry a sufficient number of 
Baldwin apples. Remove peel in long 
strips. Butter a beanpol and fill with the 
cored and sliced apples, packed in layers. 
Sprinkle each layer generously with 
.sugar, and sparingly wit’ll tiny bits of but¬ 
ter, then cover with strips of peel. Re¬ 
peat until the bcanpot is full. Bake in 
a slow oven for two hours. Pour out, 
and with a fork remove the strips of 
peel. Serve heaped in sherbet glasses and 
topoed with a spoonful of whipped cream. 
Instead of the usual watery mass, you 
will have a rich red sauce, delicately flav¬ 
ored with the peel, and of about the con¬ 
sistency of marmalade.

Several of our correspondents assure 
us that cotton-sccd oil is excellent for 
cooking. Those who still maintain that 
it is disagreeable in flavor, may, if they 
desire, use olive oil in the same way. The 
following recipe for olive oil crullers was 
found in Good Housekeeping: To one- 
half cup of sugar add two tablespoons of 
oil, two beaten eggs, one-half teaspoon of 
salt, onc-fourth teaspoon of cinnamon and 
a little nutmeg; add two cups of flour 
sifted with two teaspoons of baking 
powder, alternately with one-fourth cup 
of milk. Roll out, cut and fry as usual. 
In frying them let the oil get just hot 
enough to smoke. Biscuits made with oil 
for shortening called for one tablespoon¬ 
ful of oil to one cup of flour and one tea¬ 
spoonful of baking powder. Oil used in 
frying was strained through a cloth be¬ 
fore putting away, and kept in a tightly 
corked bottle.

A LINEN jacket suit is a good thing to 
plan for in the Summer wardrobe; very 
pretty models were shown early in Janu¬ 
ary for the southern tourists. The coats 
were sack or semi-fitting, hip or knee 
length, very plain tailor style trimmed 
with straps of the material. The skirts 
follow the Winter walking models. One 
beautiful suit was of light gray linen, a 
nine-gore skirt having a side pleat under¬ 
laid at the foot of each gore; the jacket 
semi-fitting hip length with patch pockets; 
double-breasted, with large white pearl 
buttons. Another was of pink linen, 
wtili a long semi-fitting coat. These 
suits follow plain tailor lines, and both 
coats had wrist-length sleeves. A cheaper 
material for a white jacket suit is Indian 
head, a heavy cotton costing 15 cents a 
yard; we have found it very satisfactory, 
though it takes longer to iron than linen, 
because it does not dry out so quickly. 
It docs not crumple so easily in wearing 
as linen. All such materials should be 
shrunk before making up. 
Appleless Apple Pie Wanted. 
It n minted me to hoc on pnge 10 recipes 
entitled 'Takes Without Eggs,” especially 
handy when chickens run dry. Now I would 
like io know how to innke apple pie with¬ 
out apples. Especially handy when tbe apple 
hln runs dry. 
Munition OK THE APPLE CONRtIMlOltS LEAGUE. 
Wc went over a collection of 80 apple 
recipes now on hand, but appleless apple 
pie was not among them. If it were not 
for the National pure food law, we might 
follow the example of some conscienceless 
jam factories, and make apple pies from 
turnips, aniline dye and coal-tar flavoring, 
but a consistent member of the Apple 
Consumers' League could not lend himself 
to such deception. We think this situa¬ 
tion affords possibilities for the artistic 
use of evaporated fruit. With a little 
lemon juice to restore tartness, a little 
spice, and careful cookipg, modern evap¬ 
orated apples are far different from the 
despised dried apple pic of a past genera¬ 
tion. Will some of our good housekeep¬ 
ers tell us how they meet the situation 
when the apple bin is in the same condi¬ 
tion as Mother Hubbard’s cupboard? 
Some Good Supper Dishes. 
Salmon Rolls.—Take one can of sal¬ 
mon, open and empty immediately in a 
large earthen dish; then add one egg. 
one-half teaspoon of salt, onc-half of 
black pepper, piece of butter the size of a 
hickorynut, and four soda crackers. Roll 
crackers very fine, then add to the other 
ingredients. Stir and mix all thorough¬ 
ly together. Then with the hands dipped 
in flour take small tablespoonfuls and 
mold in little flat cakes. Fry brown on 
each side in butter, or nice drippings. 
Beef Rolls.—Take small thin slices of 
beef and the same of fat pork. Lay the 
pieces of beef on top of pork, sprinkle 
a little salt and pepper over beef if tbe 
pork is fresh; if it is salted, only pepper 
is required. Roll all up nicely and tie 
securely with pieces of No. 10 white cot¬ 
ton thread, or skewer together with tooth¬ 
picks. Make them in individual rolls; 
that is, one for each person to be served. 
Fry until the pork is just nicely browned, 
or put them in a little boiling water and 
stew until tender; I prefer to fry them. 
When done lay on hot platter. Add suffi¬ 
cient good sweet milk to the pan in which 
they were fried; when it comes to a boil 
add a little thickening made of white 
flour and a little cold milk. Stir in the 
hot milk (or broth if they arc stewed) 
until if is about the consistency of thick 
cream. Let boil up once or twice, then 
pour over little rolls of meat. If stewed 
it is delicious with a little batter dropped 
in jike little dumplings. Both these dishes 
should have creamed potatoes served 
with them. 
Eggs in Cream.—Use very thick 
cream, a desssert spoonful to each egg to 
cook them in. Put the cream in a large 
deep granite ware pic dish and set on 
top of the stove for a minute or two, until 
the cream gets thin. Then break in the 
eggs; sprinkle a little salt and white pep¬ 
per over each egg, set the dish hack on 
the stove, cover close and let stand two 
or three minutes, or until the eggs are 
nicely set. These arc most delicious 
served with toast and coffee for break¬ 
fast. I serve them on the same dish they 
arc cooked in, bv setting it in a silver 
pic receiver or pinning a napkin closely 
around the pic dish. 
Creamed Chicken.—Cut up and stew 
chicken until tender enough to come from 
the bones freely; then lift out of the 
broth on a plate and carefully take all the 
meat from the bones. Cut up in pieces 
(not too small), then add to the liquor 
in which it was cooked. Set over the 
tire: when it comes to a boil have a little 
thickening ready made of white flour and 
sweet cream. Stir in among the boiling 
chicken until it is the thickness of good 
thick cream; let boil up and serve. Add 
salt and pepper to taste. Both these 
dishes require creamed white potatoes 
served with them. This is an excellent
