MRS S. A. NETrLES.
THE following recipe makes a
very creamy rice pudding: For five
persons allow one aud one-half tea
cupfuls of boiled rice, two-tllirds tea
cupful Of raisins, two eggs, one-hali
tea-cupful of sugar, one pint OF milk,
one-half tea-spoopful of salt, one
eighth tea-spoonful of cinnamon. Sep
arate the whites and yolks Of the eggs,
add to the yolks two table-spoonfuls OF
the milk, and place the rest Of the
milk on the fire in double boiler.
Wash and stone the raisins Tor they
may be left unseeded, if preferred),
put them in the milk, and cook them
until soft and tender, which usually
takes fifteen minutes. Add the
rice, cook five minutes longer,
and then stir in the yolks Of the eggs
and the salt, sugar, and spice. Stir
well, cook for two or three minutes,
remove from the fire, and pour the
pudding into the serving dish. Beat
the whites of the eggs light, add to
them tablespoonful of sugar, spread
the froth on top of the pudding, and
brown delicately in the oven. Serve
cold.
A MOST excellent dish for dessert
is made of a cake about an inch and
a half deep after it is baked. The
cake should not be rich. Put light
meringue on the top, brown this in
the oven, cut the cake in square
pieces, and serve warm with lemon
sauce. The sauce must be at the boil
ing point, and it should be poured
around the cake so that it will penetrate
it readily. If properly made, this is
delicious
SLICED bananas and oranges mixed
with chopped pineapple, with pow
dered sugar scattered over all, make
q delicious dish.
WHEN making layer cake which is
to have filing of fresh fruit, or one
of any kind which ought not to be
put in until it IS time to serve it, it
should be taken from the tins in
which it is baked and be placed on
the tins turned upside down. Take
the precaution to heat these tins if
they have cooled, in order to prevent
the cakes falling.
FR1zzIED EGes.-Chop one cupfuI
of cooked ham quite fine, place in
hot skillet with a large lump Of butter,
season well and break over eight eggs.
Stir all together until we'll cooked.
Serve very hot with buttered toast.
DROPPED EGGs--Have ready a pan
of fast boiling water, salt well. Drop
one dozen eggs from the shell into it,
and cover Immediately and place
where it will not boil for ten minutes.
This makes a good, easily-digested
dish for weak stomach, and well
liked by all who fancy soft eggs.
P1cKLED Eees.--Boil two dozen eggs
for fifteen minutes and place in very
cold water. The shell will then re-
move easily. Place them all into
strong, we'll seasoned vinegar, or what
is better, the vinegar left after beets
have been picked, The whites will
then color beautiful pink. Serve
in one week. Very good.
Tea CUsrARp.-Beat four eggs up
with cupful of sugar in deep bowl.
Flavor with cocoanut, lemon, or va
nilla and fill the dish with rich milk.
Place in o steamer and steam one-half
hour.
MANAGEMENT OF KEROSENE LAMPS
All who have experience in the use Of
mineral oil lamps must, sooner or
later, learn that the condition demand
ed for their burning without smell is
that the wick shall be turned up so
as to obtain fuu-sized fame without
actual smoking. It is commonly
supposed at first that by keeping the
fame low all objectional odor is pre-
vented; but the contrary is the case.
Something more may be learned by
first charging lamp with measured
quantity of oil, burning it with the
fame at full size for a given time,
and ascertaining the loss of oil, then
making a second experiment with the
same lamp, same quantity of oil,
burning the same time, but with wick
turned down SO as to have but frac-
ton of the amount of light supplied
during the first experiment. On
measuring the loss of oil this time it
will be found but little less than in
the first case. Therefore, in turning
down such lamp flames, we obtain no
such saving of material as in turning
down gas fame. The reason is that
with the low fame o considerable
quantity of the products of incom-
plete combustion are making their
escape into the air; and these are not
only offensive to the sense of smell,
but are also injurious to the health
american Farmer.
