Domestic Recipes.

Whortleberry Pudding.-One quart
Of berries, one pint of molasses, one cup
, o. milk, a. teaspeonful of soda, one
pd5nd and two ounces Of -four, one tea
8posEfal of cloves, one of cinnamon.
AnsA one nufnlees boil two and half
hours Serve with butter sauce.
Corn Cakes. Take sufficient ears of
corn, slit the hulis through the middle,
and scrape off - the cob, pressing with
the fiat of the knife to obtain all the
milky substance. add salt. two beaten
eggs. -four enough 10 make the whole
adhere together; divide into two table
spoonfuls on a hot buttcrcd iron grid
die or. frying-pan, and cook light
brown on both sides.
Stewed Kidneys, Trim away the fat,
skin and I, each kidney into thin
slices. put tue slices in n stewpan
dredging them first with -four: then put
i'm two ounces of butter, salt and pep
per; let them stew ten minutes; then
add two glasses of cfaret and the Juice
of a lemon. In ten minutes the kidneys
may be served In its sauce with chop
ped parsley.
Bonny-Clabber This dish is in per-
lection in the summer, when milk sours
and thickens very quickly. 1t should
be very cold when served. A nice way
is to pour the milk before it has thick
cned into a glass dish, and when thick
set ON ice for an hour or two, and it is
ready 70 serve, and is really very pref
ty addition TO a luncheon or supper-ta-
Bile. Serve in dessert-plates with sugar
and cream.
Carfant Catsup. -Three pounds sug-
ar, five pounds eurrants, one table
spoonful cinaamon, one tablespoonful
cloves, one tablespoonful all-spice, one
teaspoonfui each black pepper and salt,
one-half pifitNiuegar. Stir the currants,
aud stain them; then boil all together
fifteen 'mioutes. Grapes and raspber-
ries are good i'm this way.
7 Mock Duck.-Take q round steak;
make stailing as for turkey; spread the
stufling on the steak; roll it up and tie
it; roast from half to three-quarters of
an hour.
Potatoes a la Lyonnaise.- These are
much simpler than the name implies.
Rub q lump of good butter over the in
side.of clean. smooth, slightly-warm-
ed skillet, turn in some cold boiling po-
tatoes cut up,-add- pepper, salt, a little
chopped parsley, and perhaps the least
bit of onion very fine. Shake from time
to time, and see that they do not brown.
Fried white is the accepted slang in
fashionable hotels for this mystification
in the art of potato cooking.
Boiling Tongue. Wash clean, and
put IN a kettle of boiling water. Skim
well 1T first, and place where it will
slowly but constantly boil. Too rapid
boiling hardeus the fibrine. and renders
the meat hard and tasteiess, without
really fastening the process of cooking.
A pod of red pepper in the water viii
prevent the unpleasant odor of boiling
from filling the house. Add half a pint
of salt, and keep the tongue covered
with water until done. Boil until it can
be pierced easily with fork. take out,
and if needed for present use take off
the skin and set away TO cool; if TO be
ed for table. 3''
