RECIPES.

Potato Fbicassee — Cut some cold boiled potatoes square, aud place them in a basin with milk, allowing about a gill of milk to half a dozen potatoes. Season with pepper and salt. Stand the basin in a pan of boiling water, and when it comes to the boil add a tublespooiif ul of butter. Let it boil up, and then serve. This is a nice dish when potatoes aro getting old and new ones are too expensive for daily use. Dish of Rabbit. — Mince finely some cold boiled cabbage and mash some cold potatoes ; rub them both through a sieve, and put them into a pan with a little butter or clarified dripping, pepper and Bait, and toss them over tne fire till hot. Have ready beforehand a rabbit cut into neat pieces ; season them with pepper mixed with a very little flour, and toss them in butter, morrow-fat, or clarified dripping, till nicely cooked and crisped ; then pile them neatly on a hot dish, pour on them a little French tomato sauce diluted with some stock and made hot, and serve with a wall of the cabbage and potato round them, garnished with rolls of fried bacon. Pancakes with Mabmalade. — To make these, put a quarter of a pound of sifted flour into a basin with four eggs ; mix them together very smoothly, and then add half a pint of milk or cream and a little grated nutmeg. Put a piece of butter into the pan (it requires but very little), and, when quite hot, put in two tablespoousf ul of the mixture; let it spread all over the pan, place it upon the fire, and, when coloured upon one side, toss it over, then turn it upon a cloth. Proceed thus until all are done ; then spread apricot or other marmalade all over, and roll them up neatly, lay upon a baking-sheet, sift sugar over, glaze with salamander, and serve upon a napkin. A piece of chamois skin out to fit the inside of the shoe will not only prove very comfortable in cold weather and to tender feet, but it will save the stockings from wear. A medical journal says that in severe paroxysms of coughing, from whatever cause, a tablespoonf ul of glycerine in hot milk or cream will give speedy relief. A wholesome drink for persons afflicted with inordinate thirst is made by pouring a little more than two quarts of boiling water over two tablespoonsful of pearl barley and a quarter of a pound of loaf sugar. Add the peel of a fresh lemon, let it stand all night, and strain in the morning.
