CREAM SAUCE FOR sTEwED CHICKEN.

CREAM SAUCE FOR sTEwED CHICKEN
Let pint of sweet cream simmer over
boiling water with the thin yellow rind of
one lemon cut ia strips and ten white
pepper-corns, uhtil it is well favored; take
out spoonful of the cream and rub it
with half an ounce of fou: and a little
butter strain the cream, stir in the thick
ened -four with half teaspoonful of salt,
and let it cook until about as thick as
custard. Arrange the chicken on a plat
ter, pour the dressing over it, garnish
with persley and serve. You may use
rich milk instead of cream if you take as
much as quarter pound of butter to
thicken it. If this is used few drops Of
lemon juice will not hurt at the last
moment after it is taken from the fire.
FRIED PARsNIPs.
Wash and scrape the parsnips and boil
them until very tender, cut them length
wise, sprinkle little pepper, salt and
sugar over them, dredge with -four on
both sides and fry light brown.
JUMBLES.
One pound of butter and ore pound of
white sugar-powdered or granulated-
rubbed together TO cream; add six well
beaten eggs the juice and grated rind OF
two lemons; to this add -four enough SO
that you can mold them into shape with
your hands, but do not roll them. Dip
each one in cracked loaf sugar drop a
blanched almond on each, and press the
entire into tumble. Great care must be
taken to prevent burning while they are
baking. The quantity here given makes
large number of cakes.
In making waffles never put sugar in
the batter, as it causes them to be heavy
and tough. They should be beaten thor
oughly and made quickly. The batter
should be very thin. Take one pint of
buttermilk, one teaspoonful of soda, one
tablespoonful of melted butter, one tea
cup of flour, yelks of four eggs and
small pinch of salt,beat the white sep
arately to froth and add them he last
thing. Have the waffle tins we'll grease d
and very not, pour in the batter and bake
brown. When taken up spread with but
ter, and sift with sugar if preferred.
Almost every one likes good cookies
and If there are any children around the
house then there ought to be cookies
anyway, because they are so much more
wholesome than rich cake. Here is one
way to make them: One cup butter, two
cups sugar, four eggs, four cups -four,
three tablespoonfuls milk, three table
spoonfuls baking powder. Rub the -four
and butter thoroughly together, cream
the butter and sugar, beat the eggs sep
arately; add to the whole, nutmeg CHINA
mon or any favoring preferred. Sift in
the flour and baking powder and make it
stiff enough to roll out and cut in any
shape desired.
TO STOP THE FLOW OF BLOOD
Housekeepers, merchants and others,
in handling knives, tools and other sharp
instruments, very frequently receive cuts
from which blood flows profusely, and
oftentimes endangers life itself. Blood
may be made to cease flowing as follows:
take the fine dust of tea, at all accessible
and easily obtained, and bind it close to
the wound. After the blood has ceased
to flow, laudanum may be advantageously
applied to the wound. Due regard to
these instructions would save much api-
tation of mind while running for the
surgeon.
To say nothing of the suffering to dumb
brutes, 1t is constant drain on the far
mers' purse to furnish food for keeping
up comfortable degree of animal heat.
In many cases this might be done once
for all by iudicious use of boards. nails
and building paper.
