Recamier Soup. Wash one-quarter pound best pearl sago thoroughly, then stew it quite tender and very thick in water or broth (it will require nearly a quart of liquid, which should be poured on to it cold and very gradually heated), then mix with a pint of boiling cream or milk, and the yelks of four fresh eggs, and mingle the whole carefully with two quarts of strong veal or beef stock, which should be kept always boiling. Serve immediately. Ah Indian- Way to Cook Mutton.—Sasatijs sounds very much like sausages. Cut the uncooked meat from a mutton bone into small squares. Chop a plateful of onion and fry in butter ; add (if liked) a tablespoonful of curry powder and one cup of vinegar. Stir the meat into the sauce and let it stand for a whole night ; then thread the meat UDon very slender wooden skewers, leau and fat pieces alternately : grill upon the gridiron just before they are required, and serve very hot with rice. What is left of the sauce must be boiled and also served very hot. Good Plain Cake.— One egg, one cup sugar, butter size of hen’s egg, one cup sweet milk, two cups flour and two teaspoons baking powder. Beat the yelk of the. egg, sugar and butter until it creams ; stir in the milk, siftcthe flour and baking powder together, stir iu your batter, then add the white of the egg beaten stiff : stir all well, turn into buttered tins and bake thirty minutes in a hot oven. Apple Cheese. —To each pound of pulp add 2 oz of butter, the juice and rind of half a lemon, the yelks of two eggs and white of one; boil again gently till it thickens. Thi3 makes a delicious filling for tartlets or open tarts. To Remove a Particle from the Eye.— Take a horse-hair and double it, leaving a loop. If the object can be seen, lay the lood over it, close the eye and the mote will come out as the hair is withdrawn. If the -irritating object can not be seen, raise the lid of the eye as high as possible, and place the loop as far as you can, close the eye and roll the ball around a few times, draw out the hair, and the substance which caused the pain will be sure to cotne with it. This method is practised by axe-makers and other workers in steel.—Medical Times.
