The Dixie Cook-Book

Artificial Stone Griddle

This is a new article for the kitchen, is light and durable, and, it is claimed, does away entirely with grease and smoke in making the breakfast pancakes. Soap-stone griddles are often used, but this is a much cheaper and equally as good a substitute. CORK PULLS. - The cut represents an invention that is useful for pulling corks from bottles, for holding dish-cloth in hot water, and for holding cloth used in cleaning lamp chimneys. For the latter purpose it is excellent.

THE AMERICAN BROILER. -This popular broiler has been before the public for many years, and has done more to banish the health-destroying frying pan from the kitchen than any of its later rivals. It will always be a favorite.

FANCY WOOD TABLE MATS. - There are three sizes of table mats, made of stripes of light and dark wood, alternating, and fastened to strong felt cloth. When not in use they may be rolled up into a very small compass. The wood is very highly polished, and the effect is very pretty. They are very cheap, durable, and decidedly ornamental. VEGETABLE TONGS. - This is a very handy kitchen implement for turning meats or taking vegetables out of the oven or the kettle. They are very neat and durable, and cheap withal.

SALT DISHES. - The "star salts" are now very generally used on account of their convenience and utility. In the bottle, which has a perforated top like a pepper-box, is a pulverizer which keeps the salt loose, and insures its free delivery. When it is not necessary to measure the quantity, they are always ready, and insure a good distribution of the salt.
