HOUSEHOLD.
ANCHOYY SALAD.

SALAD.
Wash, skin and bone two anchovies,
put in water to soak half an hour,
drain and dry them. Cut three hard
boiled eggs into slices, Arrange the
leaves of a head of lettuce in a salad
bowl. Add the anchovies and sliced
eggs, pour over a plain salad dressing
and send to the table very cold.
FLANNEL CAKES
Beat six eggs very light, stir in them
two pounds of -four, one gill of yeast,
small spoonful of salt and sufficient
milk to make a thick batter. Make
them at night for breakfast, and at 10
in the morning for tea. Have your
griddle hot, grease it we'll, and bake
as buckwheat. Butter and send them
hot to the table, commencing after the
family are seated.
MINCED SANDWICHES.
Chop half a pound of lean ham very
fine; add one minced pickle and a
tablespoon full of mustard; put four
ounces of butter in a frying pan, stir
over the fire until it creams; add the
ham, the beaten yolk of n egg, with
a little salt and pepper, remove the
pan from the fire, stir all together,
pour out on a large dish and let cool.
When firm, cut in slices and lay be-
tween slices of buttered bread.
LARDED AND STUFFED swEETBREADs.
Parboil half dozen large sweetbreads.
Prepare a dressing of grated bread
crumbs, lennon peel, butter, cayenne
pepper and nutmeg; mix with we'll
beaten yolks of egg. Cut open the
sweetbreads and stuff them with the
mixture; then sew up. Have ready
some slips of fat bacon and lemon peel,
as thick as small straWs. Lard the
s~weetbreads in alternate rows of bacon
and lemon. Then put the sweetbreads
in a pan, set in the stove and bake
brown. Serve with veal gravy thick
ened with the beaten yolk of an egg
and favored with lemon juice.
ICED ORANGES.
Peel six oranges, carefully removing
all the white skin and seeds, and
separate into small portions. Whip
the white of one egg with three table
spoonfuls Of water, then add a dessert
spoonful of powdered sugar. Mix these
we'll together and strain through a
fine wire sieve into a fiat vessel. Dip
the pieces of fruit first into very good
sherry and then into this mixture and
roll carefully in sifted granuated sugar.
Place each piece separately on a platter
until dry and arrange t~astefully in a
glass dish. The seeds are easily re-
moved by cutting through the portions
of fruit in the centre just deep enough
to pinch out the seed without losing
much juice; the icing will close the cut.
A METEOROLOGICAL PHENOME-
NON.
l was riding along a ridge-road in the
North Carolina mountains one day,
when 1 met a native driving a yoke of
cattle, and I stopped to ask the way.
you've got a pretty country here"
l said, after a few moments talk.
Eyes, right peart fer North Caro-
liny," he said, with a slight sarcasm,
''but the Tennessee mountains is the
beauties"
Are you from there7"
Eyes, N glad Nv it,"
lis the air as good as this3"
"Good?" he repeated, as if he was
sorry for me. "Good? Why, the airs
so good thar we had to give up mules
and go to drivin' steers"
"What has the air to do with it?" !
asked.
Everything. By zucks, the airs so
good thar that when a man settin' on
a wagon cussed the mules pullin' it, it
wouldn't carry an oath fur enough for
red for them to hear it, and you can't
make a mule pull a pound eff you can't
cuss him. That's all thar is to it,
