One-half cupful of sugar, one tabloppoonful of butter, one egg, one-fourth one-fourth cupful of sweet milk, one' cupful of hour, one teapoonful of baking powder, pow-der, one-half cupful of raisins, seeded and cut in two. Real thoroughly together to-gether and bake in twelve scalloped tins or in one loaf, as preferred. Fresh blueberries, blue-berries, well floured, may be ued instead in-stead of the raisins, or dried currants which will give a very different flavor to the cake. No. I. One cupful of sugar, one-fourth one-fourth cupful of butler, whites of two eggs, ihree-fourths cupful of cold water, one and three-fourths cupful of Hour, one teaspoonful of baking powder, pow-der, one teanoonful of lemon extract. Thus is a moist and delicate white cake it may be varied by using the voiks of two eggs or .me whole egg. instead of tne whites of two for economy. If making mak-ing cuistard. lvc the whites for cake and yolks for custard; if making frosting, frost-ing, use yolks for cake and whites for frosting. This makes the cake yellow instead of white. No. One cupful of sugar, one egg, one tablespoonful of butter, one cupful of sweet milk, two oupfuls of dour, two iir-ajjuig leaepoontuiR of baking powder; llavor (or not) with one teaspoonful of vanilla. If baked in a large ."hallow tin, this recipe will make a nice ?heet of cake, which may be covered with a soft chocolate or cocoanut frosting and tut irt squares, or it may be used for laver cakes. Spread them on the tin. as' it will rise high in baking. A smooth, hard frosting for cakes No. 1 and 2 maybe may-be made of four tablcr?poonfuls of su-gar su-gar and the white of one egg tirred well together (not beaten). For the soft froc-ting for No. 3 melt one square of chocolate in a teaspoonful of milk. Heat the white of an egg thick, add one-half a cupful of sugar and beat, then add the chocolate and beat. Grated Grat-ed cocoanut may be used instead of chocolate. No. 4. One cupful of sour milk it must be thick and the cream should be left in one cupful of brown ugar. one cupful of raisins, seeded and chopped; one-fourth cupful of butter, two cup- I fula of Hour, one level teaspoonful of j soda, one-half teaspoonful each of ground cinnamon, cloves and allspice, I and a little mutmeg. This is a cheao fruit cake, but better than many of the I more expensive kinds. It must bake I nearly an hour, slowly, or it will burn. I Instead of the raisins? alone, part dried j currants and citron .cut fine, may be ! ueed; and the cake may be frosted with j the hard fronting. This cake improves with keeping, if covered closely from : the air. DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR RIB-EONS. RIB-EONS. CI nan colored ribbons that are only slightly soiled after this method: Fill a glass fruit jar about half full of gasoline and place the soiled ribbons in the jar. Screw the cover en tightly and leave it closed for about six hours, shakin.g occasionally. Take out the ribbons and hang- theon to dry in the air until all odor has been removed. He careful not to get the gasoline near a lighted stove or lamp, as it is explosive. explo-sive. To wa.'ih white ribbons prepare a suds of soft water and white soap; wash thf ribbons in this and allow thorn partially to dry. Take each ribbon while still damn and roll it smoothly over a card or piece of pasteboard, paste-board, rolling a strip of muslin with it. Wrap the muslin around it laft. so that the ribbon will be covered, and place the whole under a heavy weight. Leave until dry. j A COMMON PRACTICE. ' It is a very common: practice to put away food that comef from the shop in any brown paper in which the dealer-wraps dealer-wraps it. While thisi may be convenient, conveni-ent, it certainly is open to serious objection ob-jection on the score ef health and cleanliness. Most of the cheao papers are made from materials hardly up to the standard? of the housekeeper's idt af of neatness, and although a certain cer-tain degree of heat is employed in their preparation, it is by no means sufficient suffi-cient to destroy all the diseaso germs with which the raw material may be filled. i |
