WHIMSICAL WESTERN IDEA.-Tne fol-
lowing, from the Virginia New Enter
prise, is given, scarcely for practical pur
pose, but to show how they publish recipes
out West: The country round about
Eureka is swarming with jackass rabits,
and nearly every sagebrush for miles
around shelters one Of the long. cared cuss-
es. The chief cook OF the Sentinel SAYS
that, now the weather has turned cold,
rabbits are good eating even for white
men, if prepared after the following for
mula: Shoot your rabbit; be sure that it
is dead, and then strip off his head. Cut
1t up into chunks Of the exact size of ID
trade-dollar, and lay the pieces in deep
sGucerpan. Then take Two bottles of
champagne, two OF claret and one Of
Oregon cider; carefully extract the corks
and pour the contents into frying pan
in which you have placed the pieces of
rabbit. Peel as many onions as will fill
charcoai-sack, and slice fine, with two
potatoes, over which sprinkle a pinch of
salt. Then put the sliced onions and po-
tatoes into the wash boiler in which your
rabbit is cooking; bake for four hours in
a gentle simmer, and when the onions are
boiled through throw in a sack Of -four
for thickening. Serve hot in glass pre-
serve plates.
Here is something for real use:
Two LEMONS CREAM PIEs.-Three
cups Of milk and the yoIks Of four eggs
for a custard. When at the boiling point
stir in large tablespoonful of corn-starch
which has been dissolved in milk. Stir
all over the fire till thckened, and set
aside to cool, after adding one cup and a
half Of white sugar. Make the crust and
line your tins Then add to your Gus
tard the juice CT two large lemons, and
the grated rind Of one. Pour into your
paste shells, and bake till well set and
the crush seems cooked. Have the
whites Of the eggs beaten up together
with the two lett from the salad dressing),
and whisk in lightly six tablespoonfuIs
of powered sugar. Spread on the pies,
and bake light brown. They should
be eaten almost, if not quite, cold.
Corn OYSTERS. Crate six ears of
sweet corn add halt pint of rich milk,
q scant teaspoonful of pepper, half as
much OF salt, and half teacup of -four.
Mix well together, and fry in hot butter
Sour GoosE-To utilize the remainder
ofthe goose after cutting out the breast for
smoking, it is prepared as follows: Cut
up the flesh into suitable pieces; then
take Of vinegar and water OF equal guam
titles, enough to cover the meat, add a
handful Of small Onions, and salt, pepper
cloves, etc; boil together until the meat
is done. This, if put in cool place,
will keep well, when warmed up or eaten
cold.
WELSH RAREBIT.-One teacupful of
chopped cheese, one tescupful milk, one
egg, butter size Of butternut; boil milk,
butter and cheese till smooth paste; add
egg, wei. beaten, and turn at once upon
half slices of toast well buttered. Serve
hot, with mustard to add if desired. A
little -four of mustard is added to the
mixture while boiling if agreeable to all
tastes. Have care about curdling the
milk by too hot fire.
WELSH RAREBTrs- Put little
milk in a saucepan and set on a moderate
fire cut up in slices some new cheese
and put in the saucepan; also stir the
whole thoroughly until the cheese is
melted and well mixed with the milk.
Only small portion Of milk is necessa-
ny, say about one-eighth. Have some
pieces of toast ready buttered and on the
bottom of the dish. When the cheese is
thoroughly melted and mixed, pour it
upon the toast and serve while hot. \
golden buck requires poached egg on
top.
CHICKEN SALAD.-The chicken should
be boiled To one pair of chickens put
tive large heads of celery. 1t is best to
prepare the dressing just before the salad
IL to be eaten. Take the yolks of eight
hard boiled eggs and mash them to
paste, add small teasroonful of salt,
the same of cayenne pepper; half a gill
of made mustard, a small winegIass and
a half Of vinegar, and rather more than
two wine-glasses Of sweet oil. Mix all
these ingredients until they are quite
smooth, then pour it over the chicken.
Renowned as the Egyptian ladies are
for the richness Of their attire, they would
regard it as highly indecorous to display
upon the street the magnifcence of their
dress. When they 60 about the streets
of Cairo on shopping expeditions, they
cover themselves with dismal robe of
black. AS a general rule, whatever
they are compelled to exhibit to the pub
lie gaze is simplicity itself, while what
they reserve for private inspection is gor-
geous in the extreme.
Tea Corrective cups of we'll sifted
-four, one cup of sweet milk, one egg bro
ken in the latter and well mixed, one
tablespoonful of melted butter. one tea
spoonful of soda dissolved with the same
amount of cream tartar in hot water.
Bake these in muffin rings twenty min
utes in a very hot oven.
PUDDING SAUoE.-One cupful of SUI
gar, one cup of butter, one egg, the yolk
and white beaten separately, flavor to
suit the taste, beat all together and add
one tablespoonful of hot water just before
serving.
BLAECHING ALMoNDs.--AlmondS may
be blanched by first Smelling them,
then putting them in a deep dish, then
