SANDWICHES Francis Crosse, author Z
dictionary. Of English local words, thu
; defines Sandwich: 1.-TWO pieces of brea
salt meat Between them said to have bee
q favorite dish with the Earl of Sandwich.
Whatever great deeds the Earl may hav
done, his only recorded monument is tw
pieces of bread and butter with slice Q
} meat between them. The name, at al
appears pretty rapidly, as every one like
sandwiches. They are in place at lunch, a
tea, or at evening entertainments they ar
most acceptable to travellers and hunters
. and are good as I" bite" at my time whel
one is hungry. Sandwich may be mad,
care, to be served at tha1Dble. For hasty
lunch, take two good slices of bread, vel
buttered, of thickness proportional to the
appetite, and place between them slices Of
ham, tongue, corned beef, or any other cold
meat. Cold chicken or turkey, having q
very thin bit Of ham with it, makes q most
excellent sandwich. The meat should
always be cut very thin, and it is better to
lay on several delicate slices than one thick
one. Salt as required, and use mustard il
it is liked. In putting up sandwiches for
travellers, or hunters and fishermen, be gen.
/
appetites. With sandwiches for the table, for
parties, fairs, ETC., more care should be used.
For bread, good home made loaf, baked
| in q square tin, will cut to the best advan-
take. 1t should. be old enough to cllt
smoothly, and be sliced moderately thin
with sharp knife. Butter, and place the
thinly cut slices of meat between lay the
sandwiches on clean table, place board
OH them, and press them Just sufficiently to
make them hold together; trim the edges
square,-stack on plate, and cover with
damp napkin OF cloth until served. Have
sliced, as it is exceedingly annoying to be
Obliged to tug" at sandwich. The best
we have ever eaten was made of potted
ham. The bOilca ham is first chopped, and
then put into wooden mortar and pound
ed until it becomes u smooth paste. This,
spread upon slice of bread and butter, and
covered with another, makes q sandwich
more delicate than the Earl ever knew of.
APPLE PIE AS 1T SHOULD BE.-A lady
writes; have just been reading an ar
ticle upon apples, written by George Will
liam Curtis. Speaking of apples and apple
pie, he says: If you choose to slice and
dry them-it is not their natural endAbut
even then they will return you good for evil
IN pres that might persuade any pagan to be
a Christian. No doughy, clammy, fatty
pies, which are device Of Satan, but those
triumphs which have no bottom crust, and
in which the spoon sinks and sinks-Selah
For pies proper no condemnation can be
severe enough. 1t is one of the alarming |
signs that we are getting to be pie eating

pie food at all the taverns in the.land. The
