RECIPES.

Sabdine Toast.— Divide some sardines lengthwise, removing skin, bones, and tails ; add a little of the oil from the tin and put into the oven between two plates, letting them get quite hot. Take some thin strips of bread, the exact length of the sardines, fry them in butter, put half a sardine on each slice, sprinkle on cayenne and salt and a squeeze of lemon juice and serve very hot. Cream of Rice Soup.— Peel and slice three or four small potatoes. Slice one onion, add salt, a blade of mace and a teaspoonful of chopped parsely, and one quart of hot veal or mutton stock, boil one hour, strain through a colender, pressing the potatoes into the strained stock; add two cupsful of hot cream, bring it to the boiling point, add half a cupful of freshly boiled rice and serve quite hot. Pineapples. — Pineapple prepared in this way is delicious with icd-cream, or without it. Grate the pineapple, after removing every particle of the peel, or chop it ; it must be minced so fine that any one eating it will be in doubt as to the method of its preparation ; add sufficient sugar to sweeten it; let it stew ] gently until it is soft. When it is prepared thus it can be eaten by many who are obliged to refuse it uncooked on account of its producing indigestion.

Jelly Rolls. — These are delicious made from this recipe : Three eggs, half a cup of butter, one cup of flour, one and a half teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two-thirds of a cup of pulverized sugar, a little salt ; bake in shallow pans— a dripping-pan, well buttered, is good for this purpose ; put in the dough till it is about half an inch thick ; take it carefully from the tins when baked and lay on a cloth; spread jelly evenly over it with a knife ; role while hot ; if this is not done the cake will crumble.

Lemon Pudding. — An appetizing pudding is made of two lemons, two eggs, and two cups of sugar, and four tablespoonfuls of cornstarch dissolved in a little cold water. After this is dissolved, stir it in two enps of boiling water ; then add the beaten yolks of the eggs with the juice of the two lemons and a little

of the grated peel; lastly, stir in the sugar, put this in a pudding dish and let it bake for about half an hour, If the oven is hot, this will be a long enough time. Then draw, to the edge of the oven, and spread over the l&p of the pudding the whites of the two eggs ; beat them to a froth, with a heaping tablespoonful 01 sugar added. Let this brown'for two or three minutes. This pudding is as nice when cold as when warm.
