blespoonfulsO fwalnut ketchup, two cloves

of three eggs, one teaspOOnful Of sugar, one
coffee cup of sweet milk, one cup Of warm
water, three tablespoOnfuls of yeast, -four

to sprinkle over them.

evaporated peaches they should first be
allowed to soak for at least three hours,
then cook them slowly; when they are
almost done add the sugar, then set them
away and let them get perfectly cold. If
not used until the second day they Will be
still better, as they will absorb the sugar
and be much richer, apparently. If for
use in buildings treat in this way also. as
