Cheese Omelet: Four we'll beaten
eggs, half teacup of grated crackers,
three tablespoonfuls of grated cheese.

The average cook will not be con-
WINGED that after water once boils it is
impossible to make it hotter, or that
any article can cook in water which is
not rapidly bubbling; hence many a
piece of meat is served in tough,
stringy condition that might have been
made tender by slowly simmering.
Aunt Nellie's Cornmeal Mullins:
Two cupfuls of Indian meal, one cupful
of flour, one large spoonful of sugar,
two tablespoonfuls of meat drippings or
| butter, little salt, about one teaspoon
full of soda one egg, beaten. Wet up
| with buttermilk; or, use sweet milk and
baking-powder Bake in hot IRONS

Celery Toast: Cut few stalks of
celery into pieces an inch or two long,
throw them into little slightly salted,
boiling water, cook until tender; add a
| little milk and sufficient flour to thicken
| the liquor to the consistency of cream;
season with butter and salt, and pour
over thin slice of toasted bread; serve
| hot. Asparagus may also be cooked and
served in the same way. Cooked celery
is believed by many to be of great bene
| fit in rheumatism. -HouSekeeper.

half an inch thick; roll in grated crack
ers, and fry in butter until Drowned on

To Preserve Pippins in Slices: Take
the fairest pippins, pare them and cut
them into slices quarter of an inch
| thick, without taking out the cores
Boil two or three lemons and slice them
with the apples; take same weight of
granulated sugar, put half gill of
water for each pound of sugar, dissolve
it and set it over the fire. When it is
boiling hot put in the slices. Let them
boil very gently until they are clear;
then take them with a skinner and
spread them out on fiat dishes to cool;
boil the syrup until it is quite thick and
! pour it over them. These may be done
q day before they are wanted. Two
| hours will be sufficient to make a fine
dish for dinner or supper. -Detroit Free
