almost to paste, add one-half chopped
onion, one tablespoonful of chopped
parsley, one saltspoonful mace, and one
egg; take the same quantity of stale

heat and gradually stir in bread crumbs

quettes egg-shaped or cone-shaped in an

CHOCOLATE PIE.-Take four table
spoonfuls of grated chocolate, one pint
of boiling water, let it simmer for few
minutes, then take the yolks of two
eggs, two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch,
and six tablespoonful of sugar. Stir
this mixture together, and boil until

OF tine two eggs to stiff froth, beating
in tablespoonful of pulverized sugar
put this on top of the pie and set it in
the oven to brown. Serve cold it is not
at all difficult to make and ought to be a
perfect success. It takes longer to pre-
pare than some other dishes, and it is
wise to make it in the early morning,
and not run the risk of spelling it by
being obliged to hurry.
MAYONNAIsE SAUCE.-The real may
onnaise sauce as used in Provence, to
which it is indigenouse, is never made
thicker than fresh cream, and is GER
tainly best SO. The recipe is as follows
Take the yolks of two Or three raw eggs
| according to the quantity required)
very carefully separated FROM the
whites put the yolks into mortar, and
very slowly and gently grind them round
and round with the pestle, working from
the wrist, not from the arm there is a
great knack in doing this) Add, drop
by drop, the purest salad oil to the
amount of two or three tablespoonful,
as required, stopping occasionally to
work it in, always turning the pestle the
same way. Between times drop in vim
egar (about two tablespoonfuls), and if
the mayonnaise cracks or curdles, few
drops of water will restore it to its
smooth, creamy state. This is the real
Provincial way of maying a mayonnaise.
Vennor Explains the Theory Of his
Weather Predictions.
Prof. II. G. Vennor explains his
system as being based upon the results
of observation, and the comparison of
cause with cause, effect with effect,
season with season. He says: "What
I do and have done is the result of
persistent study and directing others
labors. discovered one fact, and proving
it to be fact beyond question OF dis
pute, 1 have builded upon it, and built
safely, think. What was that discovery?
Just this: that seasons and years recur
in couplets and triads. Rules applicable to
the first season or year of a couplet are
equally applicable to the second season
or year Of that couplet, and precisely so
in the triads. Such is the main super
structure of my work. But soon found
that the system was not bound down to
a mere generality, embracing only sea-
son or year in its entirety. Experiment
evidenced that the same calculations
could be made for month, and that,
too, with an exactness that at first ap-
peared to be surprising. And I pursued
my work still further, until now do not
hesitate to bring my calculations within
a week. Yes, I have been able to de-
signate particular days. That is usually
my rule in the text of my predictions.
But the public should understand that,
except in special cases, I never risk
every thing upon any single twenty-four
hours. have not yet reached that
point in my system, although there is
no telling what will be accomplished in
the near future. Ny experience long
ago impressed me with the force of the
recurrence of periods of similar weather,
and to my personal experience I have
added the authentic records of three
quarters of q century. Those records
cover Canada and the United States.
They are practically complete, and they
uphold my theories. Upon them, in
fact, to no small extent, do | depend for
everything. Sometimes / am bothered
by my inability to decide whether have

until that matter is settled am ali at

the winter of 1880, when, you will rer
member, I declined to say anything
positively. was in doubt upon many
phases of the then recurring weather,
and was unwilling to make any forecast
You will bear in mind the circumstances.

But the instances in which [ have been
obliged to forego my predictions are
wonderfully few. Such a miss is not
possible once in thousand times.
