pound of flour, one-half pound of but
ter two grated cocoanuts, whites of
five eggs. Drop on buttered paper in
tins, and sprinkle with sugar; bake in
a quick oven.
FRIED MEAT CAKES.
Chop lean raw meat as you would
for sausage; any meat may be used,
but beef is best. Season with salt,
pepper and onions; shape into fiat
cakes, dip the cakes, in egg and bread
crumbs, and fry in dripping. Drain
on a strainer; have ready a dish OF
nicely mashed potatoes, on which put
your meat cakes and serve.
FRENCH ROLLS.
One and one-half pints OF milk, one
half pint of yeast. one-quarter OF
pint of warm water, one-half ounce
of salt, two ounces of butter, flour
enough to make thick batter. Man
ner of mixing: Take the milk and
let it get quite warm, but not hot; stir
into it the yeast, and add enough
flour to make thick batter. Put it
into pan, covering 1t over, and keep
1T in warm place. When 1T has risen
as high as it will, add the warm water.
butter, salt, and enough flour to make
your dough not too stiff. Let it stand
for three, quarters of an hour and 1t
will be ready to make into rolls. Let
the rolls stand awhile covered over
with a clean cloth, and then bake in
quick oven.
EsCALLoPED SWEET POTATOES.
Slice enough cold boiled sweet pota-

after sprinkling a quarter OF this liquid
over the potatoes, put them into hot
oven. In ton minutes sprinkle anoth-
er quarter of the liquid over them;
and repeat the act twice more at in
tervals of ten minutes. After the fin
al sprinkling let the dish bake ten
minutes longer, or forty minutes in
all. This is a nice entree for dinner,
and is also appropriate for breakfast.
1t may be made much richer by using
more butter and no water for the
basting. Sometimes tablespoonful
of sugar is mixed with the butter and
water. but it is doubtful if an improve
ment is thus made.

Three slices of salt pork, boil one
hour and half; scrape five large par
ships, cut in quarters lengthwise, add
to the pork, and let boil one-half hour;
then add few potatoes, and let all
boil together until the potatoes are
soft; the fluid in the kettle should be
about cupful when ready to take of.
