HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

By Ida M. Patton

IDA M. PATTON.
A SIMPLE nut cake, without soda or baking powder, may be made by using one cup each of hickory-nut meats, sugar, and sifted flour; one egg. Mix all together, drop in little patties on an oiled tin, and bake. They are best several days old.
To insure perfect freedom from cake or bread adhering to tins, oil the tins in the usual way, then cover with flour and turn out again.
To press the seams of sleeves, use a round stick about the size of a broom-handle.
Fruit toasts are so easily prepared, yet so wholesome and appetizing, that they may be an important part of the daily bill of fare. Have the zwieback hot, then moisten quickly with hot water, turn off immediately and spread the fruit over the toast. Apples or peaches, canned or dried, or prunes are good either cold or hot, to suit the taste. Berries may be heated, the juice first, and thickened with a little cornstarch, before spreading on the toast.
