the links apart, prick with a fork to keep
the skins from bursting, and lay in the
frying pan with just enough water to cover
the bottom of the pan. Put over the fire,
with the cover partially off. until the water
has boiled away, and the sausages are
pumped. Then cover closely and cook
until brown, shaking often to prevent their
sticking and scorching. Dish on a hot plat

were cooked as a frying medium. drop into

and dredged with flour. Cook to a golden

who find themselves unable to use sugar
on account of its fermentation are able to
take saccharine or the coal-tar sugar with
impunity. This may be purchased by the

quite equivalent to the spoon or cupful.

gowns are of that shade. During her visit

admiration from the women passengers on
