PEPPER SAUCE.

Two dozen green peppers, twice their
bulk of cabbage; one teaspoonful of
horseradish, one handful of salt, one
tabl spoonful of mustard seed, one des-
sert spoonful of cloves, two tablespoon
fuls of sugar, few blades of mace, two
warts of best vinegar. Cut the pep
pers, mix with the cabbage, boil the
spices and sugar in the vinegar and pour
1t boiling hot over the other ingredients,
and put away in wide mouthed glass bot
ties, tightly corked.
oMELET WITH MINCE.
For these a very small pan must be
used, as each omeIet must not exceed
four inches in length. Break three or
four eggs, according to the number of
omeIets you require, allowing one egg
for each omelet, into a basin, with pep
per and salt to season, beat them lightly
for few minutes, and pour just enough
to make one omelet into the pan in
which one ounce of butter is at BOILING
point. Stir with knife until it begins
to sit, and then fry till it is of pale
golden color, but not in the least burnt
Take it out with slice and lay in the
center small quantity of minced meat,
about one tables poonful spread Ia the
middle of the omelet, in the shape of the
spoon, fold over each end of the omeIet
and lay them side by side on dish. The
mlnce should be made either of poultry
game, or white meat finely, chopped
mixed with cream to moisten it, and
he ated over the fire.
PEACH JAM.
Take the desired quantity of fully
ripe peaches. Pare them, take out the
stones and cut them into preserving pan
and set 1T over the fire, stirring the con
tents continually until they become soft
Then rub it through a sieve. Then to
every pound of the pulp add pound of
sifted loaf sugar. The peach pits should
then be added; using about one-fourth of
them, having them blanched, and brusing
them well before putting them in. Now
put the pan and contents on brisk fire,
stirring constantly and skimming. Fiji
teen minutes will be long enough to cook
the pulp after it commences to boil
Then remove the Jam from the fire, fill
the jars. cover tightly, and keep them in
a dry, cool place.
New potatoes la creme are nice for
breakfast or lunch. Cut some boiled new
potatoes in slices and put them in stew
pan with four ounces of butter, one gill
of cream, little nutmeg, pepper and salt
and the juice of half lemon. Set the
pan on the fire, tossing the contents while
they boil up once or twice. Serve with
ring of crOutOns.
COCoANUT CAKE.
Mix three quarters of pint of powder
ed sugar with one ounce of butter; add
one pint of flour with one tablespoonful
of baking powder, half a pint of grated
cocoanut and milk enough to make stiff
batter. Bake in buttered pans and
sprinkle dry cocoanut on the top.
SOMETIMES the lamp-wick refuses to be
turned up in an orderly manner. 1t will
seem firmly wedged on one side, while the
other runs up in point, causing weari-
ness and vexation of the spirit To over
come this depravity take a new wick,
draw out single thread near the SEW
edge, and the wick will be found quite
tractable when introduced into the burn
er. The cogs will take it up properly, and
it will appear in good form and give an
even flame when lighted.
