T OATMEAL CRACKERS. II AXE q, pint $of
coarse and fine oatmeal, rub tea
spoonful of butter into the fine, and
mix both together. Wet with salted
water and work into an excessively
stiff dough. Make into little cakes
with the hands, and pound out thin
and bake very. slowly for a long time.
They are nice to eat with a cup of tea,
and if they grow moist can 90 made
crisp again by putting into the oven

CREAM CAKE.-Beat the whites Of
three eggs to a froth, mix the yolks
with one cupful Of sugar, one cupful of
twice sifted flour, and one teaspoonful
OF cream Of tartar. Mix very quickly
and bake in two small sheets. When
cold, split the cake and put the Gus
tard between the layers. Make a.
cream. of two-and-a-half cups of new
milk, four tablespoonful ofsugar, two
tablespoonful Of flour and one egg.
Cook like a boiled custard, flavor with
vanilla, and set it away to cool before
adding to the cake. Rub the top lay,
er of the cake with the white of eggs and
then sift on powdered sugar.
LEMON PUDDING. Take large lem
ons and three tablespoonful ofsugar.
Crate the lemons and squeeze out the
juice and mix together with the sugar.
Line a pie-plate with pastry and spread
over it some OF the mixture, set it in
the oven for a few moments or till it
crusts over a little, then pour in the
rest of the mixture and bake without
an upper crust. For this recipe am
indebted to asubscriber, who has kind
~ sent it with some gratifying COM
ments on various recipes published in
this column before.
Recipe for Dressing for Cold slaw.-
Put three tablespoons of vinegar in a
saucepan with little sauce and pep
per; beat two. eggs very light and mix
with 8 tablespoonful of sifted flour. q
teaspoonful Of butter, a teaspoonful
OF sugar and half teaspoonful of
ground mustard. Set the, vinegar on
the stove, and when it boils stir in the
mixture, adding hall cup Of milk.
Cook for two minutes, stirring con-
stantly. Pour the same over the
shred cabbage and let it become cold
before serving.
Few cooks appreciate as they should
the necessity Of draining and airing all
canned vegetables. For canned peas
lin tiny, beans, tomatoes, or any 9TH
er, always open them three hours be-
fore they are wanted. Drain off the
liquor and throw it way. Turn out
the vegetables to evaporate and air
upon flat dish. Stir them up so that
the air may reach them all through.
A little trouble, to be sure; but it
makes this kind of food much whole
somer; it gets rid of any gasses that
may have been formed in the can, as
we'll as any ofthe corroded solder that
may have dissolved out with the IL
quor.
