he had been beloved, it was pleasant
to the congregation to welcome the
advent Of younger man, one whose
opinions, although progressive, were
free from the faint of irreverence and
whose family connections were all that
the most fastidious among them could
desire. a4g
This morning, the first that Craig
had deliberately settled down to work
in his study, he had been called to the
door for a few minutes. Now, on his
return he found things precisely as he
left them, except that on the ponderous
tome open upon his desk lay slender
sheaf of hyacinths, heliotrope of hue,
freshly cut and fragrant.

GOOD DIET FOR THE SICK.
Nourishing Dishes for Persons Able to
Indulge in semi-soIid Food


At this season of the year, when
few households escape a visitation OF
sickness in some form, the question of
diet suitable for the very sick and the
convalescent is a very important one,
and often one of grave consideration,
especially in cases where nourishing
food rather than medicine will enable
the ailing one to regain strength ana
health. A few of the most acceptable
dishes are given for those who have
reached a stage in conyalescense
where the patient Graves and is able
TO take semi-solid and solid foods.
Mutton Broth-Take a neck piece,
carefully wipe with damp cloth, cut in
small pieces, cover with two quarts
of cold water and let stand in a cold
place until the water is a bright red,
then place over the fire and let ii
come very slowly TO the boiling point;
skim carefully, cover and place where
it will simmer gently for three hours.
AT this point a cup of well washed
rice or barley and any vegetables that
are allowed for flavoring-such as
celery, parsley, and in some cases a
little onion-may be added, and the
cooking continued an hour longer, and
the broth then strained, all fat being
carefully removed, %hen given to a
person with weak digestion or liver
trouble. I'm some instances a little
pure. sweet mutton fat is beneficial.
Egg cream-This is very nourish-
ing. Soften two teaspoOnfuls OF
gelatine in a third of a cup of cold
water. Beat two egg yolks with two
tablespOOnfuls of sugar until very
light. Add the soaked gelatine 10 half
a cup of hot milk, stir until dissolved,
then pour the milk over the egg and
sugar, stir until sugar is dissolved;
then turn into a double-boiler and stir
and cook a few minutes, but not
harden the egg yolk. Turn out into a
bowl, add a little sherry wine or graf
ing of nutmeg, then, when the jelly
I begins TO chill. stir in the whites OF
! the eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Turn
into small glasses or china, mold, ana
/ set on ice or in very cold place.
! Jellied MiIk-Place two quarts fresh
milk in a stone jar and cover with
writing paper tied closely over the
top. Leave it in a fairly hot oven
eight or ten hours. or until of the con.
sistency of cream.
Tapioca Cup Pudding-This is very
light and delicate for invalids as well
as other people. An even tablespoon.
full Of tapioca soaked for two hours in
nearly Z cup of new milk, stir into
this the yolk of a fresh egg. a little
sugar. a grain of salt, and bake it in a
bowl for fifteen minutes. Jelly may
be eaten with il.
Chicken Jelly-Cut a chicken Ga hen
is better as for a fricassee. Put it in
a double boiler with an even teaspoon
ful of celery seed, cover closely and
let il cook for five hours. Strain it
through an ordinary strainer and
leave il to- stiffen. Remove all the fat
melt the jelly, add salt TO taste and
strain il through two thicknesses OF
cheese cloth. The quantity will be
about half a pint. An excellent broth
is made by adding three tablespoon
fuls OF boiling water to one OF jelly.
