See that the jug or coffeepot is perfectly clean, warm it, put the coffee in the jug which should have a strainer, or failing this a muslin bag will do. Pour the boiling water on the coffee, cover well, and let it stand on the top of the stove for five minutes. Serve with hot milk and sugar to taste. 8 THE EXHIBITION COOKERY BOOK. I] 14 235. TO MAKE COCOA Put a teaspoonful of Van Houten’s cocoa into the cup, withdraw the spoon, pour on the boiling water, then stir and add the sugar to tasteTo Make Cocoa. , To make larger quantities of cocoa, put a teaspoonful for each cup required into a dry jug which has been previously thoroughly warmed, pour on boiling water, then stir and serve into cups adding sugar to taste. Most cocoas require boiling in milk, but with Van Houten’s cocoa this is not necessary. All that is required is to see that water is boiling when poured on the cocoa, as otherwise a perfect cup of cocoa cannot be made. THE EXHIBITION COOKEKY BOOK. IT 5 HOUSEHOLD HINTS. 236.

The handiness of a Gas Stove is not to be over-estimated. No waiting for fire to burn up. No “ doing without” tasty dishes for any meal.

A VISIT TO AN INTERESTING FRUIT-FARM. What problem ? What problem is being solved ? It is two-fold in character, and of great importance to every thoughtful mind.
