HOW TO USE EGGS.

Sweet Omelette Souffle. —Beat the yolks ol : 4 eggs with a dessertspoonful of castor sugar and a few drops 01 vanilla or other avouring essence. Whip the whites quite stiffly, and stir them likhtly to the yolks. Pour the mixture into a weii buttered omelet pan, and put into a brisk oeen for about 7 minutes. Turn it on to a hot dish, fold over and serve qiuckiy. A smaller quantity will require less time to cool:. Jam omelottee.—Make a plain omelet, omitting tfie pepper and substituting a dessert spoonful of powdered sugar for the salt. When cooked, insert a. table spoonful or more of hot jam, fold over and serve. Or an omelette souffle may be made, the centre filled with jam and folded over. Gin- - ger in syrup is a delicious filling; some of the syrup to be heated and poured round the omelet as a sauce.

Snow Eggs.—Break 4 eggs, separating the yolks from the whites; beat the latter to a stiff froth, stiff enough to detach itself entirely from the plate on which the are beaten. Boil a pint of milk with 5 or 6 lumps? of sugar and a avouring of vanilla. When boiling take up the white pf an egg in spoonfuls and drop it into the milk; put in 3 spoonfuls at a time, not more, or they will be crushed one against the other. When tfie whites are swollen, turn them and let them simmer for about 15 minutes: then lift them with a slice, drain, and put the mon a dish to cool. Cook all the white ofegg in the same way. Take the milk off the fire and add to it any that may have drained from the snow balls. Beat the yolks, add them to the cold milk, and stir them well, so that they may be thoroughly mixed. Pass . the custard through a fine sieve and put on the fire, stirring it all the time with a wooden spoon until it thickens. It should be as thick as double cream. Pour the custard, when cold, on the dish on which the whites are placed but be careful not to pour it over them.only around, as the balls should look as white as possible—like snow.
