L
Carrot salad.-Boil large carrot in
sailed water until tender, chop 1t fine,
with two hard boiled eggs. Pour over
them a mixture of one tablespoonful of
sweet oil, three of vinegar, little salt,
|ifee9a. sugar. and made mustard If
cream Muffins.-An excellent and
well-tried recipe. One quart sweet milk
half cream if you can get it-onc heap
ing quart of Graham flour, six eggs, and
salt to taste. Bake Immediately in hot
muffin rings. Your oven should be hot,
and the mtffihs sent to the table as soon
as they are taken UP. -.
-Maitre d. Hotel Potatoes. Put two
spoonfuls of butter into sauce pan on
the fire, and when melted add one spoon
full of flour; stir, and when turning yell
low add one quart of milk and little
salt. Give one boil, and remove from
the fire. Then add tic cold, boiled
| sliced potatoes, put back on a slow fire,
stir for ten miutes, mix in ono teaspoon
full of finely chopped parsley, the yelk Of
two eggs, and serve very hot.
-Lyonaise Potatoes.-Taste ha- some
thing to do in the preparation of this ia
vorite dish. Much or little of onion may
bc used, chopped or sliced. Use cold
boiled potatoes. Put two spoonfuls Of
butter in the fry pan, with as much sliced
or chopped onions as is liked for one
quart of potatoes, sliced, and two spoon
fuls more of butter, and salt and pepper.
Stir and toss gently till all are fried of a
light brown color. If the potatoes absorb
all the butter, use more. The French
use oil instead Of butter.
Rabbit Stew.-In the first place, if
yeu buy the game, select rabbits with soft
paws and ears, if you wish them young
and tender, which is of much importance.
The flavor is finer than of the old ones,
whose ears arc rough and the paws we'll
worn with long use. Tame rabbits arc
not fit for food. Skin the rabbit, draw it,
and cut in pieces and fry in butter till n
little brown, then add half pound of
salt pork cut in slices; stir, fry a few
moments, and then add large spoon
full of flour; shortly after add half a pint
of good soup stock, gill of vinegar, a
dozen small onions and bunch Of sea-
soning tiled together), consisting of three
sprigs of parsley, one of thyme, one bay
leaf and two cloves. Throw away the
bunch of seasoning when done.
-Wall-pockcts are beautifully made in
THIS style: HaVe TWO Mln pieces OF pine
wood or heavy card board, one fourteen
inches square, the other fourteen by seven
inches. Round the corners off little, Or
nament the smaller piece heavily with a
cluster of nuts and leaves, or flowers and
leaves, to correspond. Put smaller
bunch near the top of the larger piece,
and when done, fasten together at the
sides with bronze leather, in triangular
form, to bring the pieces into the ordi-
nary form of wall pocket. The size of
these pockets are varied, according to
their different uses. Those for holding
newspapers should be very much larger
than the measures given above. The cost
of the materials for leather work is tri-
fling; the purposes TO which it can be
uscfully and ornamcntally applied are in
Vulnerable, and as pastimc, to employ
leisure moments, we have found it very
pleasurable and satisfactory.
