Recipes.

Chill SAUCE.-Six large ripe tomatoes,
four green peppers, one onion, one table
spoonful of sugar, one tablespoonful of
salt, one and one-half cupfuls of strong
vinegar; chop peppers and onions; boil
one hour.
ORANGE SNow.-An ounce of isinglass is
dissolved in pint OF boiling water. 1t
is then to be strained and allowed to
stand until it is nearly cold. Now mix
with it the juice of six or seven oranges
with one lemon. Add the whites of three
eggs and sugar to taste. Whisk the
whole together until it looks white and
like sponge. Put it into a mold, and
turn it out on the following day.
TOMATO CATsUP.-Take six quarts of
cut tomatoes, cook them till they are
perfectly soft, strain them through sieve
then add one pint of vinegar, half a cup
full of sugar, two tablespoonful of black
pepper, two of salt, one each of cloves,
cinnamon, and allspice; boil until thick.
Put away in bottles, or can while hot. 1t
is good plan to put part in cans for
use in late spring, but it keeps well if sim
ply bottled and eorked. If boiled until
quite thick-say like a boiled custard-it
will not become thin and watery if kept

Northward July starts up all sorts of

sort of a delegate, with some sort of badge
going to some sort of convention, osten-
sibly "Off on a vacation" when it turns
out to be nothing but work time after
all and no rest. Yet we earnestly wish
we might join some of them to-day, such
as the &c. L. S. C.'s'' and the HY. NJ G.
A.'s", or the "W. C. T. U.'s'', or any of
those philanthrophic societies, which
seemed under the absolute necessity of
twisting the entire alphabetfor an abbre-
Walton, and where they get up the steam
and heat spontaneously from sheer force
of OratOry and eloquence. However we
are satisfied here to patiently endure the
genuine article, glad that so many loved
Floridians can spend the month by the
sea, where the rest of the world goes and
where there is nothing to do but to fish,
eat and sleep! Where should we all land
if we were obliged constantly to keep
right on with this hurry and worry of our
work-a-day world from July to July
again, with no play time thrown in? We
that must stay at home, however, will
make the best of this midsummer quiet,
