TO ROAST AN EGG.
Prick a hole in the egg-shell with a pin.
Wrap the egg in wet paper and put it in
hot ashes to cook. It will take about fif
teen minutes. The flavor of an egg cooked
in this way is much superior to that of a
boiled egg.

CORN MEAL POUND CAKE.
Take the weight of eight eggs in sugar,
and the weight of six in sifted meal, a half
pound of butter, one grated nutmeg or a
teaspoonful of cinnamon. Stir the butter
and sugar to a cream, add the yellows, well
beaten; stir in the meal, alternately, with
the whites of the eggs, beaten to a stiff
froth, then add the nutmeg. Butter a tin
pan and pour in the batter ; bake in a
moderate oven. Sift the meal three times
before weighing.

“ Indian corn is the noblest of the cereal
grasses.” It was found native in this
country when it was discovered. It is not
indigenous in any part of Europe, but is
generally cultivated in the southern
and southeastern part of the continent,
where it has acquired the name of ble de
Turquie, or Turkey corn, because it was
thought to have been introduced by the
Mohammedans after their conquest of Con
stantinople. It is now nearly as extensive
ly used for the support of man as rice.

GERMAN FRITTERS.
Cut from a loaf that is at least a day old,
the number of slices required ; let them be
rather more than half an inch thick. Cut
off the crust, and pile them in a deep dish,
pouring over enough sweet milk to soften
them. Before using the milk, add a half
cup of sugar and one egg to every pint.
Let the bread soak twenty minutes. Then
butter a hot griddle, carefully lift out each
slice, and fry a light brown ; then put on
the plate in which they are to be served,
butter each slice slightly, and set the
plate in the open oven to keep hot. Serve
with granulated sugar, to every two table
spoonfuls of which a teaspoonful of ground
cinnamon has been added.

“ The foundation of society rests on its
homes. The comfort of the homes rests on
the wives. Therefore, first of all, teach
girls how to be successful wives. Begin in
their infancy to develop their characters.
Teach them that jealousy is an immorality
and gossip a vice. Train them to keep the
smallest promise as sacredly as an oath,
and to speak 0/people only as they would
speak to them. Teach them to look out
for the best quality in every one they meet,
and to notice other people’s faults only to
avoid them.”— Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

One of the most delicious flavorings for
ice cream is extract of pistachio.
The pistachio-nut, or green almond, is
found in the cone of the Persian pine. It
is a tiny kernel of a pale greenish color,
very wholesome and nutritious; its flavor
resembles that of the almond, but it is far
more delicate and delicious. The tree
also grows in southern Europe and in
Africa. The nut was first used in Persia,
however, and from there found its way
throughout Europe. For years French
chemists tried to catch this flavor of the
golden East for an extract, and failed.
Lamb- fattened upon pistachio-nuts is a
famous delicacy.

BLACKBERRY CORDIAL.
Two quarts of blackberry juice, one
pound of sugar, a half ounce of grated
nutmeg, a halt ounce of powdered cinna
mon, a quarter of an ounce of allspice, a
quarter of an ounce of cloves, and one pint
of the best brandy. Tie each separate
spice in a thin muslin bag. Boil the juice,
sugar and spices together for a short time;
not more than fifteen minutes, skimming
well. Add the brandy and set the cordial
aside in a closely covered vessel to cool.
When perfectly cold, strain out the spices,
and bottle, sealing the corks.

of boiling water as there are people to
drink it, and let come to a quick boil for
, two or three minutes. Set back on the
stove, and throw in about half a pint of
cold cream or water. Let stand a moment
before serving. Mollie Grub.
