STUFFED CABBAGE.-Take large fresh
cabbage, and cut out the heart Fill the
cavity with stuffing made of cooked
chicken or veal, which should be chopped
very fine and highly seasoned, to which
add the yolk of eggs. Then tie the cab
bage firmly together with a cloth and
boil in covered kettle for two hours, or
until 1t becomes tender. This makes an
excellent supper dish, and serves very
economical purpose for using up small
pieces OF cold meat.-Erchange.
To FREsHEN SALT FIsH.-Many per-
sons who are in the habit of freshening
mackerel or other salt fish never dream
that there is right and wrong way to do
1t. ANY person who has seen the process
OF evaporating going on at the salt works
knows that the salt falls to the bottom.

fall to the skin, and there remain; when,
if placed with the flesh side down, the
salt falls to the bottom of the pan, and the
fish comes out freshened as it should be.
In the other case, it is nearly as salt as
when first put in.
To REMOVE THE TASTE OF NEW
WooD-A new keg, churn, bucket, or
other wooden vessel, will generally COM
municate disagreeable taste to any thing
that is put into it. To prevent this incon-
venience, first scald the vessel with boiling
water, letting the water remain in it until
cold then dissolve some pearlash or soda
IN luke-warm water, adding lime to it, and
wash the inside of the vessel well with
this solution. Afterward scald 1t well with
plain hot water, and rinse it with cold
, water before you use it. The reason for
this is the ready combination of resinous
matters with alkalines to form compounds
soluble in water. The resinous substances
OF wood, while new, cause disagreeable
taste and odor in substances kept in
wooden vessels.
How TO MAKE CRANBERRY PIE.-Tt is
not every one that knows how to make
cranberry pies good. There are various
ways. Some make them open like GUS
tard or squash pie. A correspondent of
the Country Gentleman says this way is
good, but not SO good as to cover like an
apple pie. The berries should not be
stewed, as some do, before baking, but slit
each berry with knife. This will pre-
serve the freshness of the fruit, which is
quite an important thing. A coffee cup
full of berries and an equal quantity of
white sugar, will make medium sized
pie. Those who like sweet pie, should
have more sugar, also more berries if de-
sired. Bake as usual. A little flour sifted
over the fruit gives it thicker consistence.
One thing should not be forgotten-add
small tea-cupful of water. The recipe is:
One coffee cupful of slit berries; the same
quantity of white sugar; half the guam
tity of water, with little flour added or
not. rec
