Cold Sznao.-We make cold slaw Of our
cabbage as follows: cut very fine and
pack in a small jar; sprinkler little salt
and pepper over it; take vinegar pint
will answer fol-. a small head ! butter the
size Of walnut; one spoonful Of sugar or
more if liked; heat this to the boiling
point mix well beaten egg in acup Of cream
and pour into the vinegar, stirring briskly
until it again boils; then instantly pour it
over the cabbage and cover tightly; press
ing down with little weight or plate.
This slaw is better when two days old,
although it can be eaten at once o.. after
week if kept in . cool place.
Fydky Pie Crust.-As some OF our
friends say that our pie crust cannot be
excelled, I will tell you how I make it.
It is to be supposed that every housewife
knows how much or how little butter or
lard she wishes in her crust. Cut the
lard OF butter into small bits, about the
size of thimble and stir, not rub, with
a little salt into The flour; mix with cool
water as quickly as possible and roll out.
Cream, sweet or sour, makes nice mix
ing for pie-crust, but does not make it
faky like the above.
Dried Beef Broth. Simmer clipped
beef in water until the goodness is ex-
tracted, then season with pepper and a
small piece of butter; strain out the beef
and serve the broth with toasted bread.
Beet sondlsosc1. scrape little raw
beef from tender juicy piece, and
spread it on thin slice Of buttered bread,
season with pepper and salt and cover it
with another slice Of buttered bread; di-
vide it into small pieces of equal shape
and size, and trim off all the crust. Raw
beef is very nutritious and easily digested,
and, if scraped very fine, is exceedingly
nice.
