An Easy Icing-An icing that is the
least troublesome of any 1 know is
made by using the uncOoNed juice of
a lemon. Squeeze the lemon and strain
the juice; stir in gradually enough sugar
to enable you to spread it. Cover the
cake with this and set in a cool place
an hour or more: if you wish a thick
icing apply a second coating after the
cake has stood a quarter of an hour.
Orange Custards-The juice of ten
large oranges, a teacupful of slfted SUI

solved in the molasses, one cupful of

Use as much flour as you wish in rolling
them out Roll very thin. In cutting
out these cakes, do not use the scraps or
corners of dough until all are cut out.
Some persons roll them with the original
dough, but that makes the dough too
stiff, and the cakes are not crisp. Keep
the scraps until the last, and then roll
together and use. They will make quite
good cakes but inferior to the first

In hot weather a lemon sherbet or
water ice is refreshing and wholesome.
The juice Of an orange is a great addi-
ton TO this ice and the proportions may
be varied. Four large, juicy lemons
make quite quantity when an orange
is used. Peel the yellow rind Of the
lemons very thin, and from the orange
pan with pound and a quarter of SUI
gar and one quart of water. Boil five
minutes, set away to cool; when cold
strain into the lemon and orange juice:
strain the whole into the freezer and
freeze until stiff, then take out the beat
er and the whites Of three eggs beaten
to a stiff froth, beat well together, cover
closely or put into mold, repack and
set away to harden.
A Roman Use of Lemon-Did you ever
hear of the Roman cure for malaria?
l would advise a judicious preparation
for anathema maranatha, when about to
administer the dose; it will give the mar
BILE Venus a wry face, but is claimed to
have cured stubborn cases. Allow one
pint of water to one lemOn-fOur lemons
make sufficient for many dose; cut up
the lemons, rind, pulp and all, in the
water and boil until the whole is re-
duced to one pint; a teaspoonful before
each meal is, the dose. On hot mornings
when appetite fails and the sight of food
disgusts one try sliced lemons for break
fast. Peel carefully, remove every par
ticle of pith, slice down instead of across
into a deep glass saucer and strew lib
orally with sugar. Do not, 1 pray, be
induced at this season of the year to
save your lemons.
