Useful Receipts.

Tomato Sauce for Winter Sauce.-0ne
peck OF tomatoes, six onions, sliced, two
heads of celery, dozen shalots, one OF. of
Cayenne pepper, half an ounce OF. Of black
pepper, one OF. of mace in powder. Slice
them into a well-tinned saucepan, mixing the
seasoning with them as they are cut up; boil
keeping them well stirred; when thoroughly
soft, drain off the water, and rub through a
hair sieve. Boil it again until it is as thick
as applc-sauce. Put it into bottles, and cork
close. Put the bottles into stewpan, fill it
with cold water, let it boil for twenty min
utes Keep in cool place. Examine the
bottles occasionally, aud If there is the least
indication of a change, turn it into the ket-
tie again, boil, and scum it, keeping it well
stirred from the bottom that it may not ad-
here, and put it into the bottles again. When
required for use, warm what is wanted with
little gravy. 1t is as nice when fresh done
and will be found excellent with calf's head
or brains, veal, beef, mutton, pork, or goose.
An onion or shalot boiled in the gravy with
which it is mixed, will DO an improvement.

coddled. lmmcrse your egg IN, or, which is
better, pour upon your egg boiling water
For time proportion your time to the size aud
number Of your eggs, and the collateral acci-
dents If you cook your eggs upon your
breakfast-table more time will be required
But you station your apparatus on good
wholesome hob, where there is a fire, and so
the radiation of heat is less positive, less time.
will suffice. The latter way is mine, winter
aud summer, and the difft rences of the SUR.
rounding circumstances equalize or nearly so,
the time. keep one egg under water nine
minutes; two, nine and a half; three, ten; and
four nearly eleven minutes. The yolk first
owns the power of tho calorc, and will be
even firmly set, while the white will be milky
or at most tremulously gelatinous.
