TABLE TOPICS.

"Care preserves what Industry gains. He who attends to his business diligently, but not carefully, throws away with one hand what he gathers with the other."—Colton.

"What does cookery mean?"

It means the knowledge of all fruits and herbs and balms and spices—it means carefulness, and inventiveness, and watchfulness, and willingness, and readiness of appliance. It means the economy of your great grandmothers and the science of modern chemists,—it means much tasting and no wasting.—Ruskin.

A penny saved is two pence clear
A pin a day's a groat a year.—Franklin.

Bad cooking is waste—waste of money and loss of comfort. Whom God has joined in matrimony, ill-cooked joints and ill-boiled potatoes have very often put asunder.—Smiles.

Never sacrifice the more precious things—time, health, temper, strength—in attempting to save the less precious—money.—Sel.

Learn by how little life may be sustained and how much nature requires. The gifts of Cerea and water are sufficient nourishment for all peoples.—Pharsalia.
