Piles are cooked.
LEMON JELLY.-Grate the peels of
lemons, and squeeze the juice out, with
8 eggs, 2 cups of sugar, butter size of an
egg; stir it over slow fire until it boils.
The above cake should be baked in 4
layers, and the jelly spread on the lay
ers, as for jelly cake.

basin well, and line it with thin suet
crust; fill it as closely as possible with
apples, cut rather small add sugar, a
little lemon peel, and wine glassful of
water; put on cover; bake it in steady
oven for 2 or 8 hours; when half done
put plate under the basin, in case the
juice should boil out; sift sugar over.
LEMON DUMPLINGs.-Mix with 10
ounces of fine bread-crumbs 1-2 pound
of beef suet, chopped very fine, large
tablespoonful of flour, the grated rinds
of 2 lemons, 4 ounces of pounded sugar,
eggs beaten and strained, and, last of
all, the juice of the lemons, strained.
Divide the mixture into quarters, tie
them in well Toured cloths, and boil
them an hour. The dumplings will be
very light and delicate.
"A HEALTHY WAY TO Cook EGGs.-
Butter tin or plate and break in your
eggs, set in a steamer, place over ket-
tie of boiling water and steam until the
whites are thoroughly cooked. They
are very ornamental broken into patty
tins, as they keep their form better.
The whites when cooked this way are
tender and light, and not tough, as by
any other process, and can be eaten by
invalids with impunity, and are certain
ly very much richer.
GERMAN PUFFs.-6 eggs, leaving out
the whites of 3; beat thoroughly, then
add 2 tablespoonful melted butter, 1
pint sweet milk and tablespoonful
flour; bake in cups half full. For sauce.
the whites of 6 eggs, beaten lightly; add
l coffee-cupful Of powdered sugar and
the juice of 2 oranges; turn the puffs
from the cups into platter and pour
the sauce over them. To be eaten as
soon as done, as, like all batter, it is
likely to fall.
To CLEANSE WOODwORK.-Take a
pail of hot water; throw in 2 table
spoonfuls of pulverized borax; use a
good coarse house-cloth-an old coarse
towel does splendidly-and wash the
painting; do not use a brush; when
washing places that are extra yellow or
stained, soap the cloth; then sprinkle it
with the dry powdered bOrax, and rub
the places well, using plenty of rinsing
water; by washing the woodwork in this
way you will not remove the paint, and
the bOraX will soften and make the hands
white-a fact well worth knowing. The
uses of borax in domestic economy are
numerous; and one of the most valua-
BILE is its employment to aid the deter
gent properties of soap.
