A BOOK FOR WOMEN
Mother and Child
Written by two of the most eminent
nhysicians in the country, Doctors Davis
and Keating. It contains almost every
thing that women desire to know about the
care of themselves and of their children.
When once it has a place in the household
it will be regarded as invaluable and indis
pensable. The practical advice contained
in each chapter is worth many times the
cost of the book.

one cupful of sweet milk. Cut the bread,
butter and cheese into small pieces. Up
on this pour the milk, made quite hot, and
then add the yellows of the eggs well beat
en, and a little salt. Mix all thoroughly,
and set on the back of the stove until well
dissolved. Then add the beaten whites.
Put it in a buttered dish, and bake twen
ty minutes in a quick oven.
Serve all dishes, made of cheese, while
very hot.
“Cheese is not appreciated at its proper
value as a nourishing food. It is more nu
tritious than beefsteak; and the most
nourishing <f all food, except cream.”
—Matthien Williamson in “Chemistry of Cooking.’ 1
WELSH RABEBIT.
Melt the cheese and season as you like.
Cut the crust from thick slices of bread,
toast to a delicate brown, butter it and
spread the cheese between the slices.
Cheese must be kept in a cool, dry place;
after it is cut, wrap in a linen cloth, and
kt ep in a tight tin box. Old, dry cheese
must be grated and mixed with a little
wine or brandy—just enough to wet it.
Keep it in aj *r for use. It is better than
at first.
CHEESE STRAWS.
Take well-beaten biscuit dough, roll it
out as thin as possible, and sprinkle a thick
layer of grated cheese over it. Fold the
dough together, roll it out again, as thin
as possible, and sprinkle with grated
cheese. Repeat the process until the
cheese has been used three times; then
roll it out thin again, and cut into narrow
strips about as long as the middle finger.
Bake them a light brown, in a slow oven.
They look pretty for luncheons or af
ternoon teas, if tied in bunches with nar
row ribbons.
The famous French cheese, Rcquefort,
so generally served as a last course at ban
quets, is made of sheep’s and goat’s milk,
and ripened, with much care, in caverns.
MACARONI AND CHEESE.
Simmer macaroni in plenty of water un
til it is tender. Strain oil the water, and
cut it in small pieces. Butter a baking
dish and put a layer of macaroni in it; a
small quantity of salt and pepper must
be sprinkled over it; then put a layer of
cheese, cut into small bits. Add very
little butter; put another layer of maca
roni with the seasoning and cheese, and
continue this until the dish is almost full,
then pour over the whole a half cupful of
sweet milk. Over the top strew grated
cheese and bread crumbs, well mixed
together. It will bake in a quick oven in
halt an hour. This is an excellent din
ner dish.
“When home is ruled according to
God's word, angels might be asked to stay
at night with us, and they would not find
themselves out of their element.”— Spurgeon
CHEESE AND CELERY SANDWICHES.
Whip a gill of thick cream, and add to
it sufficient grated Parmesan cheese to
make a stiff paste; spread this on sliced
bread, and then sprinkle thickly with very
finely minced white stalks of celery.
These sandwiches must be made just be
fore serving, and the cheese must be fresh
ly grated. If exposed to air, Parmesan
quickly becomes tasteless. If this cheese
cannot be obtained, they are very nice
made of any sharp, well-flavored cheese
that can be grated.
The Duchy of Parma, in Italy, is fa
mous for the great number of cattle reared
there. Its dairies produce the celebrated
Parmesan cheese which is made of
skimmed milk.
In the East Indies, the Lascars always
eat their food in open air with their faces
towards the west, and the greatest insult
a white man or “Giaour” can offer them,
is to walk between them and the sun,
while they are eating, causing his shadow
to fall on their food, which to them be
comes unclean.
Brie (French,) Vaschrein] (German,)
and Neufchatel (Swiss) cheese are made
of pure cream. They are successfully
imitated in this country, as are all the
other famous European cheeses. The Swiss
Gruyere and the Schabzeiger, often called
“Sap-sago,’’ are colored green with leaves
of the melilot; in some other varieties of
ureen cheese, sage is used. The best
Dutch cheese is the Gouda, which excels
in keeping qualities. The cheese which
the Laplanders make of reindeer’s milk is
highly commended by travelers. The
strongest cheese of all is made in China.
They use the caseine of peas, which is
pressed and dried in cakes. It resembles
cheese in taste, as well as chemical com
position,
WOMAN’S WORK.
TO STEW BIRDS.
Wash them, and stuff with bread
crumbs seasoned with pepper, salt, and
butter; fasten them tightly. Line a stew
pan with slices of bacon, put in a quart of
water, a piece of butter the size of a goose
egg, and sliced onion to taste. Stew the
birds until they are tender, then take
them up and pour the gravy over them.
Add boiling water if the stew gets too
thick. It is necessary to have plenty ol
gravy.
“The destiny of nations depends upon
the manner in which they are fed — M.
Savarin.
FUFF PASTE.
Put a teaspoonful of salt in a quart ol
flour, into which rub thoroughly a piece
of lard or butter the size of an egg. Wet
with very cold water, until it is the con
sistency of biscuit dough. Make this
dough out into biscuit; take a biscuit, roll
it as thin as it can be handled, and spread
lard or butter upon it in a thin layer.
Take another biscuit and roll it out in the
same way, spread lard over it, then take
it up carefully and place it upon the first
biscuit that was rolled out; hut, instead of
placing it smoothly, let it be in coarse
wrinkles, so the air can penetrate between
the two layers. Then take another biscuit
and fix it the same way—when you place
it upon the other two, being sure that it
is wrinkled. Proceed until all the biscuits
are used, then roll the paste up, as you
would a piece of paper, and put it in a
cold place for a few hours. It is best to
make it before breakfast. When ready to
make your pies, cut the pieces crossways,
and when you begin to roll it, stand the
piece which you are to roll out for the pie
plate, on its end; afterwards, it does not
matter whether you roll towards or from
you.
Puff paste is a great bugbear to most
housekeepers; but really, it is a simple
matter, if made by the above recipe.
TRANSPARENT PUDDING.
Beat eight eggs very light; add half
pound of sugar, half pound of butter and
half of a nutmeg, grated. Set it on the
stove and keep stirring till it is as thick as
buttered egg. Line a pie plate with puff
paste, fill it two thirds full of the above
mixture, and bake it a half hour in a mod
erate oven. Sift sugar over it as soon as
it is taken from the stove.
LEMON TARTS.
One pound of white sugar, four ounces of
butter; three small crackers pounded and
silted; add to them the butter and sugar
creamed together; then add the grated
rind and juice of two lemons, and six eggs,
beaten separately. Bake in one crust in a
quick oven.
“Is man made to disdain the gifts of
Nature? Is he placed upon earth only to
gather bitter fruits? For whom then are
the flowers that the gods strew at the feet
of mortals? We please the father of the
gods, when we yield to the inclinations
that he suggests. Our duties bear refer
ence to his laws, and our innocent desires
are born of his inspiration.”— Epicurus.
SWEETPOTATO PUDDING.
Boil the potatoes; while hot, mash and
put them through a sieve. Then take one
pound of the potato, three quarters of a
pound of sugar, a half pound of butter and
four eggs. Mix as if for cake. Bake in a
deep dish, and serve with sauce.
“With a full stomach, it is easy to praise
fasting.”
CITRON PUDDING.
Line a pie plate with puff paste, and
put a layer of sliced citron on it. Then
take a quarter of a pound of butter, the
same of sugar, and rub them to a cream,
add the whites of two eggs and yellows of
three, beaten separately and flavored to
taste with either nutmeg, rose-water or
lemon juice. Pour this over the citron,
and bake in a quick oven.
“Plenty makes dainty.”
APPLE CUSTARDS.
Peal and grate six medium-sized acid
apples. Cream together one coffee cup of
sugar, and three tablespoonfuls of butter.
Beat separately six eggs, and stir the yel
lows in the butter and sugar; then add
two tablespoonfuls of sweet milk and the
grated apple, and flavor with the essence
of lemon. Add the whites of the eggs last,
and bake in one crust. This will make
two pies.
MOLASSES CUSTARD.
One cup of molasses or syrup, the same
of brown zugar, three eggs, a half cup of
sweet milk, one heaping tablespoonful of
butter; mix as for cake, and flavor with
any essence you fancy. Bake in one
crust.
