DOMESTIC.
FoCD FOR THE SICK.-Roast mutton,
chickens, rabbits, calves feet, game,
fish, (simply dresscd), and simple pud-
dings are all light food and easily di-
gested. or course these tn ings are only
to be partaken of when the patient is
recovering. In making toast and water
never blacken the bread, but toast it
only nice brown. Never leave toast
and water to make until the moment it
is required, rs 1t cannot then be prop
erly prepared-at least, the patient will
be obliged to drink it warm, which is
anything but agreeable. a mutton
chop, nicely cut, trimmed and brOiled
to turn, is dish to be recommended
for invalids; but it must not be served
with all the fat at the end, nor must it
be too thickly cut. Let it be cooked
over fire free from smoke, and sent
up with the gravy in it between two
very hot plates. Nothing is more dis
agreeable to an invalid than smoked
food. Never serve beef tea or broth
with tiIo smallest particle of fat or
grease on the surface. Itis better, after
either Of these, to allow them
to get perfectly cold, when all the fat
may be easily removed; then warm up
as much as may be required. Two or
three pieces Of clean witty brown paper
laid on the broth will absorb any greasy
PARTICLES that may be floating on the
top, as the grease will cling to the pa
per.
