-Broiling. This is one of the most
wholesome methods of cooking meats
A bright fre-not too hot-a smooth
hot grid iron and careful attention are
some of the points necessary to success
in broiling. Tough meats may be
pounded or cut across in squares with
a sharp knife; and also improved by
soaking in vinegar and butter for an
hour or so before broiling. Very lean
meats should be dipped in melted but
ter, but should not be sailed until done.
Have ready hot dish, upon it pepper,
salt and bits of butter. Serve as soon
as cooked.-Farm, Field and Fireside.
Corn Bread with Water.-This re-
cipe is for yellow corn meal-the fine

unbeaten egg. and Il little salt Have
ready two cupfuis of ice water; add the
water little at a time, alternating
with -four and corn meal in about equal
quantities, till a soft batter is formed.
Have the tins ready, add three tea
spoonfuls of baking powder, beat hard.
and bake Immediately in a hot oven for
about half an hour. This way of using
baking powder is, of course, contrary
to all the rules which usually govern
that rising young article, but the re-
suit justifies it-Good Housekeeping.
Egg Lunch Dish.-An acceptab BILE
dish of eggs is made as follows: Boil
as many eggs as may be required for
this dish while getting The breakfast,
and set them aside to cool. When
wanted shell them and cut in slices.
Rub together two Tablespoonful flour
and butter the size of an egg, place in
a sauce pan and heat until smooth then
add by degrees two teacupfuls milk
and stir until the whole is thickened
and well cooked. Half teaspoonful
of beef extract and little cream may
also be added if one has them, and salt
and pepper to taste. Pour this over
the sliced eggs, and you will have an
excellent dish. This sauce is also nice
to pour over small new potatoes, or
over larger ones which are cut into
quarters after boiling Judd
