up half the milk Let soak until soft
and mix well. Add to this two eggs,
well beaten. half a cup of sugar and q
lump of butter size of hickorynut.
Salt and flavor to taste.-Ohio Farmer.
Corn Mullins: Sift together one cup
full of corn-naeal, half cupful of -four,
one heaping teaspoonful of baking pow
der and a pinch of salt. To one and
one-half cupfuls of sweet milk add one
well-beaten egg and the prepared corn
meal. Beat briskly for two or three
minutes and bake quickly in hot creased
gem pans.-Country Gentleman.
Raspberry Meringue: Line pie
plate with good light pastry, and bake
in a quick oven. While still warm,
spread thickly with red raspberries.
Make a meringue Of the whites of four
eggs beaten stiff with half-cupful Of
powdered sugar, and when it is froth
stir lightly through it half-pint of
raspberries. Heap the meringue on
top of the berries in the pie-plate, and
brown very delicately in the oven. Eat
as soon as it is cool.-Harpar's Bazaar.
Raspberry Cream: Half-box CELIA
tine, half-cup cold water, half-cup boil
ing water, one cup sugar, one pint
cream, whipped; one pint raspberry
juice. Soak the gelatine one hour in
the cold water, then put it with the
sugar and boiling water in a double
boiler over the fire, and stir until thor
oughly dissolved. Add the raspberry
juice; strain and set in a cool place.
When it has begun to form stir in the
| whipped cream. turn into a mold, and
set on the ice to harden.-Harper's
Bazaar.
Rice Gems: Beat thoroughly to-
gether one teacupful of cold boiled
rice, one cupful of sweet milk, one tea
spoonful of sugar, one tablespoonful of
melted butter, two well-beaten eggs
and flour enough to form a batter
rather thicker than for griddle cakes.
Beat vigorously, add two teaspoonfuls
of baking powder and bake in muffin
| rings or hot gem pans. Indeed, the
| secret of success in making gems, muf-
fins or crumpets with baking powder
lies in quick making and baking. A few
crumbs of bread or cake soaked in the
milk are delicious addition to white
.
-Jellied Chicken: Boil a chicken in
as little water as possible until the meat
falls from the bones; pick off the meat,
chop fine, and season it with pepper
and salt: put into the bottom of mold
slices of hard-boiled eggs and layers OF
chicken until nearly filed. Boil down
the water in which the chicken was
cooked to cupful, season and pour it
over the chicken. 1t will sink through,
forming jelly. Let it stand over night
on the ice or in a cold place. 1t is to be
sliced at the table. If there is fear lest
| the jelly be not stiff enough a little
gelatine may be soaked and added to
the cupful of stock. The mold may be
decorated with hard-boiled eggs, cut in
round slices before the meat is put in
Garnish with light-colored leaves or
fringed celery--Housekeepe
