FAV0RlTE PUDDING.
The Great Goethe Was Fond of This
Sweet.

Sweet.
OF the bread and butter that Char.
lotte, the beloved of Goethe, was wont
to prepare for his delight, we have
30 often heard that 1t is quite q relief
to know that there were times when
she turned her hand to connecting pud-
dings and pies. The following Is the
recipe of a pudding which she made
to perfection on Sundays and high
days, and to which Goethe himself,
who reveled in 1t, gave its anne.
The Charlotte Pudding.-Take a tea
Of nearly but not quite boiling cream,
the yolks of six eggs, five tablespoon
fuls of grated chocolate, eight table
spoonfuls Of powdered candy sugar,
half a pound Of blanched chopped al,
monds, a quarter of a pound of chop
ped citron peel. one pound Of crushed
macaroons, and three-quarters of q
pound of chopped (preserved) cherries
Beat the egg yolks, add the hot
cream, stir in the -four and boil five
minutes, stirring all the time.
To half this mixture add the pounded
almonds, citron, sugar candy, and
flavor with vanilla.
Chop the fruit and add to the re
naming custard and stir. The whole
Is then gently laid between four layers
Of puff paste and baked.
The sauce, which is delicate and
worthy of the pudding, you make with
two cupfuls of powdered sugar, three
well beaten eggs, one cnpful of butter
and n wineglassful of sherry or
brandy.
This is whipped for half an hour
then scalded over hot water, but mus
not be allowed to boil.

IYe81ABINET
THE ETERNAL QUESTION.

Three meals a day is the endless
chain that encircles the housekeeper
with the never-ending problem of what
to have to eat.
It Is not 80 much the daily duty
which ~disheartens and weighs upon
her; but the thought Of three meals
a day through the years to come
smothers her with their accumulated
weight. The old fable of the clock
which refused to work because 1t had
to tick so many times a day, teaches
us a deep lesson; the clock was only
required to tick one tick at a time.
We need not bear the burdens Of the
future, nor give needless thought to
the days to come. Sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof"
One Of the things to be most thank
full for Is a good appetite, which usu-
ally goes with a healthy body. Any
body who finds 1t necessary to cater
to a finicky, fussy appetite certainly
needs sympathy, for there is nothing
more discouraging to the author Of a
good meal than the birdlike habit Of
turning yer food and playing with 1t.
1t is to be regretted that the best
intentioned people In the world often
have no appetite, and they must be
fed and cared for just as well as those
who can digest single nails.
We must remember to appeal to the
eye In preparing dishes and arranging
the table. If the eye Is pleased the
palate usually responds, and things
which taste good will be better d.
gested and will consequently better
build up the body and repair waste.
We learn that a mixed diet Ia not
only pleasanter but actually neces-
Bary for our best, as is proven by the
variety Of foods that a wise Provi-
dence provides for us.
Oily fish and pork are accompanied
with lemon and apple sauce, not only
because it appeals to the taste, but be-
cause the oil needs the acid to aid
In its digestion. We find that lamb
served with mint sauce, roast goose
with onions and sage are not combina-
lions following a fancy, but because
1t was discovered that the richness of
these foods Is modified by the sauces.
So 1t Is well to remember that it Is
not wise to neglect these accessories
when serving such foods.
People past middle life will find
THAT the general health will be i'm
proved II they eat less, drink more,
Worry less and play more.
