BROKEN BREAD PUDDING AND WHAT
To Do WITH Ir.-There is one bread
pudding which is cheaply and easily
made; yet it is very wholesome, and
not by any means to be desplsed.
Put quantity of broken bread into a
bowl, pour boiling water on and soak
until quite soft. Drain away the wa
ter not too dry, and beat the bread
until it is quite free from Jumps, add
good slice of butter, sweet dripping,
sugar and chopped lemon rlnd, with
few currants or raisins. Pour the
mixture into well-greased pie-dish,
and bake until it is brightly Drowned
op the surface. Sweet sauce or a lit
tie jam may be served with this pud-
ding, and surely even the most rigid
economist would not object to this,
seeing that neither eggs nor milk en-
ter the composition of the dish.
LEMON PE-The grated rind and
| Juice of lemon. Take two table
spoonfuls of cornstarch wet with a
little cold water, pour on cupful OF
boiling water, then add beaten egg,
small piece of butter, cupful OF
sugar, pinch of salt, the juice and
rind of the lemon, bake between two
crusts.
RAILROAD CAkE-A cupful and a
half of sugar, a cupfrl each of butter
and sweet milk, three well-beaten
eggs, a teaspoonful of cream of tartar,
half teaspoonful of soda sifted in
three cupfuls of -four, teaspoonful
of extract of lemon or other spice;
beat all very thoroughly together
and bake in a sheet. A little frostlng
is an improvement.
FRUIT JUMB1Es. heaping cupful
of butter, two cupfuls of sugar, a half
cupful of milk, three eggs well beaten.
cupful of currants, three cupfuls Of
-four with two teaspoonfuls of cream
of tartar, and a half teaspoonful of
soda sifted through it, a half nutmeg;
pour into shallow pans half an inch
thick, bake quickly and cut into
squares while warm. Very nice.
GINGER SSAps.-A cupful each su-
gar, molasses, and lard, a tablespoon
full of vinegar, a teaspoonful each of
ginger and soda; bring all the ingredi-
ents to boil except the soda, add
that, after the mixture is little cool,
with tea-spoonful of salt and flour to
roll. Roll pretty thin and bake in
pretty quick oven.
CREAM CAKE-Set cupful of boil
ing water on the stove, add cupful
of butter and cupful of -four;
stir five minutes, when cool add three
beaten eggs and soda the size of a
pea; drop spoonful for each cake on
buttered tin. Bake till well done.
CREAM FOR CAkEs.-A pint Of milk,
small cupful of sugar, two thirds
cupful of flour, two eggs; beat all
together and pour in boiling milk;
set into a kettle of water, stir till it
thickens; when cold split the cakes
and put in the cream.
MNcE P1E-The mince meat must
be prepared at least two weeks before
it is to be used. Take one pound OF
fresh beef, boil, remove all fat and f.
bre and chop fine. Two pounds Of
suet freed from strings and chopped.
One and a quarter pounds of currants
carefully washed, picked and dried.
One and quarter pounds OF the best
raisins, stoned; one pound of citron,
sliced; three-quarters Of pound of
sugar; quarter of an ounce each of
powdered cloves, mace, and CHINA
mon; one grated nutmeg, the juice of
two oranges, six apples, chopped fine.
GERMAN PoTATo PUDDING.-Take
three cups cold boiled and mashed
potatoes; put them into saucepan
with little salt and grated lemon
rind; stir over the fire; add butter
the size of an egg, half pint Of
cream, and two tablespoonsful of su-
gar; remove from the fire; favor with
orange; add four beaten eggs and the
yolks of four more. Mix all well to-
gether and pour into pan well but
tered, and sprinkle with bread crumbs.
Bake and serve hot.
sDo."-Do attend to your children
yourself; go-between betwixt moth
er and child is like a middle-man in
business who gets the largest share Of
the profits.
Do dress the children sensibly;
cover up their limbs in winter, and
study health first and appearance
second.
Do show the children that you love
them; do not expect them to take it
on trust.
Do, as they grow older, win their
confidence; if you do not, somebody
else Will.
Do maintain o respectful tone to
their father before them; if he is not
all you wish, still make them respect
him; he is always their father, and
disrespect to him is a reflection upon
yourself.
Do, as the boys grow up, make
companions of them; then they will
not seek companionship elsewhere.
Do let the children make noise
sometimes. Their happiness is as
important as your nerves.
My wife has used Bradycrotine for head
aches with the best Imaginable results.
