A NICE FRUIT CAKE.

Half a pound of flour, live ounces of butter, a quarter of a pound of sugar, one ounce of citron peel, two tablespoonfuls of currants', two tabiespoontuls of sultanas, one tablcspoonful of stoned raisins, one level teaspoonful of baking powder, two eggs, a quarter of a teaspoonful each of ground cinnamon and ginger, a quarter of a cupful of milk. Beat the butter and sugar to a cream, then add the yolks of tlie eggs well beaten, sift in the flour and baking powder, add the fruit, shred the peel, and add it, then add the milk, and whites of eggs stiffly beaten, mix gently, pour into a buttered and floured cake-tin. Bake in a moderate over for two flours. This is an excellent cake to serve with “Dragon” brand tea. This tea is one of the popular brands on the market, the others being “Elephant,” “Crescent,” and “..Mikado” blends, either of which will please the palate. The Dragon blend is very rich and very economical, in the teapot. It is very strong and less of the tea must he used, as compared with other teas, to obtain a given amount of liquor. The “Dragon” blond is sold at 2s 8d per li>., and is obtainable from most grocers in your' district.*
