The ART OF MAKING IcEs.-A cores
pon<lent writing to the Germantowr
Telegraph says:
"For the enlightcnmento of thousands
of lovers Of these cooling, refreshing
and wholesome Injuries, I give yop the
two modes of preparing them-the bcs
first.
Neapolitdn Icc- Creana.-Rub vel
together twelve eggs and one and {
quarter pounds of white sifted sugar
add two quarts Of perfectly fresh anG
pure cream: flavor as below named
and cook in farina boiler, "a tin vesse
set into Il larger one containing ho

cream demands care and skill it may
be as readily underdone or overdone, as
beefsteak or an oyster stew. I will
suppose you use Tingley's freezer,
which I find superior to any other.
Pour the cream into the freezing can
put in the dasher, cover and fasten
then break up your ice with a wooden
mallet, in any heavy, coarse cloth. cot
fee-sack, or the like, to the size of wal.
nuts, and pack firmly around the can
adding coarsely ground salt until the
tub is entirely full. A four-quart Car
requires twenty-five pounds of ice and
one quart of salt. Cover and fasten the
tub and freezer according to the direc.
tons accompanying each freezer; oh.
servo that the more slowly the work is
done the firmer and smoother will be
the product. If large bulk of light
snowy cream is desired, turn tho dasher
rs rapidly as possible; what is gained
in volume, however, is lost in quality.
If beaten rapidly at first, or if beaten at
all before the cream is entirely chilled,
small grains of butter will appear diff
fused through the mass. When the
freezing is completed, open the can, re-
move dasher, pack the cream firmly
down, replace the cover, draw off the
water, fill the tub with salt and ice, in
the proportions above given, cover with
a WOODEN blanket and let stand several
hours to harden and ripen. ..
.Philadellohi1 Ice ;Crcam.-Dissolve
one pound Of sifted white sugar in two
quarts Of fresh, pure cream, flavor and
proceed as above directed in all re-
spects. All attempts to cheaper by the
use of arrow-root, corn starch, and the
like, impair the quality of the cream,
and every drop of milk you add spoils
the punch, besidea causing the cream
to melt quito rapidly: = - ~
Fyavor for ttvo Quarts.-Vanilla-
one tablespoonful of extract of vanilla.
Lemon-one tablespoonful each of ex-
tract and juice of lemon. Strawberry
and other fruits pint of finely
strained juice and four ounces of sugar.
Chocolate-three ounces of Bakers
chocolate and four ounces of sugar
melted in four ounces Of water and
finely strained.
Water Iccs.-To one quart of finely
strained juice of oranges, or lemons,
peaches, cherries, strawberries, raspber-
ries, or any juicy fruits, add two quarts
OF water and three pounds Of sugar, and
freeze like ice cream. For orange or
strawberry ice add the juice of one
lemon"
ToMAroEs.-It is we'll to put off
canning tomatoes as long as
one can; certainly. till tho heat
OF the summer is passed. Any
thing will do to put them up in, glass,
tin, or stone. They should be first
scalded SO as to peel easily, then cut
and drained in sieve or colander, and
allowed to boil very few minutes, four
or five at most, if they are perfectly
ripe, then canned and sealed up tight.
If they remain too long over the fire the
seeds will impart a bitter taste to the
vegetable. OF course all hard or de-
cayed portions should be removed. AS
soon rs the can is sealed, stand it on it's
head till cold and give the screw last
turn before putting it away This year
am going to stand my cans on their
heads all winter, and see if I may not
thus prevent mold forming around the
neck Of the jar, as it did in some of my
fruit last year.
Tomato catsup may be made in the
following manner: Scald ripe tomatoes
just enough to remove the skins,
sprinkle with salt and let them stand a
day; strain through sieve to remove
the seeds; then to every two quarts add
two ounces of cloves and two of black
pepper, two nutmegs, very little cay
enne pepper, and salt if necessary; boil
the liquor half m hour, let it cool and
settle; add pint of the best cider vim
egar, and bottle tightly; keep in a cool
place.
Chowellow is TINS made. One half
bushel green tomatoes, one dozen
onions, one dozen green pepper, all
chopped fine, one pint of salt. Let
them stand together over night. Drain
Oft the brine and cover with good vine
gar. Let it cook slowly an hour, then
place in jar. Take two pounds of
sugar, two tablespoonfulls cachof cloves
md pepper, half a cup of ground mus
ard, one pint of grated horseradisf,
md vinegar enough to mix them. Boil
veil and mix with the ingredients in the
ar. 1t is ready for use in two days.

Iron Ship Building.
The Wilmington (Dcl.) Daily Com

J larger number of iron vessels than all

he vessels OF this material principally

ards Of Messrs. Harlan, Hollingsworth
Co., and Pussy, Jones & Co., will

conclusion, that the two firms above
named present the only instances in
