Mace

after all allowance for error that a reasonable man could ask, you find weights habitually short, it is better and safer to try a new dealer; but if the dealer knows you have a weighing scale and use it, your weights will be full, especially if you pay your bills promptly. WIRE OYSTER FORK. - The short tines hold the oyster at the end of the fork, instead of allowing the tines to slip through and project beyond the oyster. This fork is also very neat for pickles. PANCAKE LIFTER. - This simple and cheap lifter is a necessity if unbroken and neatly baked pancakes are a desideratum. The cost is small, and the lifter will last a life-time, and with it there is no excuse for not serving the breakfast cakes neatly.

LARDING NEEDLES. - The delicious flavor imparted to meats, game, etc., by the process of larding, described elsewhere, makes a larding needle one of the necessary implements of the kitchen. The first cut represents the needle, the last the lard (piece of salt pork cut in shape represented), and the middle the larding needle with lard inserted.

CAKE CUTTERS.-These two engravings show a few of the many designs in cake cutters, made of tin, to give fancy forms to cakes. They may be had of all house furnishing stores, and are among the luxuries of the kitchen-very nice where they can be afforded, and they are not very costly. The effect is very pretty when different or even a single fancy form is used.

THE DOVER EGG BEATER is generally regarded as the best in the market, and we know of no rival that has all its excellencies. It is not costly, and is very durable. By an ingenious contrivance the inner circle revolves in a contrary direction to the outer circle. With this the egg beating is a very simple matter.

TEA TEA AND COFFEE CANS. - To preserve the strength of tea or coffee requires a close receptacle. Nothing is bet ter than the tin cans with close covers, japanned on the outside surface, kept for sale for this purpose, They are made neatly labeled on the side for "tea" or "coffee," so that there is no mistaking the one for the other, and no loss of time in getting what is wanted.

OIL STOVES.- Where gas is not in use, some one of the many kinds of oil stoves may be used for cooking to advantage, in hot weather especially, when the family is small. The use of those which use gasoline, and the lighter products of petroleum, usually increases the rate of insurance, and is too dangerous to be trusted ta any but the most careful and experienced persons.
