Curry. ***** 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. **• • * * The poet Horace said : “ The vulgar boil an egg, the learned roast it.” ***** 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. * * * * * There are few gourmets among the monarchs of Europe, their taste in eating being of the simplest.
