Sour Meat Recipes

! have noticed 1equest for two recipes
from Mrs. c. e. H. for sour meat and sour
rabbit. Both of these are German Dishes:
Sour Rabbit. called hasenpfeller: Clean
the rabbit and cut in small pieces, wash
thoroughly, so that all the hair will corae
off Now place in jar a layer of rabbit
strew salt over it., also few bay leaves,
and so on, until all the rabbit is in the
jar; then pour vinegar over this and set
1t in a cool place until the next dav.
Care must oe taken when buying the rab-
bit to select a fresh one. as otherwise the
meat will be of no use. Now prepare thus:
Place Il large piece Of outter In pan with
several cut up onions until Drowned also
a tablespoonful of flour. When this is
brown add hot water enough to make
sauce. then put IN the rabbit, etc. Boil
1t until tender. During the boiling add
salt, few cloves, little pepper, a few
bay leaves. asiarge piece of butter, and as
dnuch as is necessary of the vinegar in
which the rabbit was laid;i also put in
slice or two of lemon and few ginger
Snaps. Be careful not to boil it until too
tender. If you wish you may add a small
glass of port wine TO the sauce, but it is
good without.
Sour Meat, called sauer fieisch. Cut two
rounds of round steak or beef into small
pieces and place in jar with salt, onions,
and a few slices Of lemon. bay leaves, and
pour vinegar over it. Let 1t stand in n
cool place. If you wish to have it very
sour allow it TO remain two days. When
preparing cook large piece of butter,
also a little lard, in the pan with several
cut up onions until Drowned; also add
a tablespoonful Or more of flour. When
this is Drowned, lIt in the meat Now
leave the meat in a short time, then add Il
little water and enough of the vinegar in
which the meat vas laid to cover all; boil,
add more vinegar or water as it boils out,
according to taste. ANNA r.

collection of letters.
The first of the letters Is the one he
addressed to Herr Won Puttlsamer, when
he asked that gentleman for the hand OF
his daughter, Johanna. Bismarck at the
time was over 30 years old, and was
known in the neghborhood as a haruin-
scarum fellow, addicted to wild company
and incorporate habits. He married Jo-
hanna on July 2S, 1si7.
Fraulein Won Puttkamer, during her en-
gagement, was most anxious that her fu-
ture husband should agree with her On
all theological questions. In letter in re-
ply to one of hers urging this, Bismarck
says:
There are two points in your letter
which give me satisfaction. One is the ex-
preston of yolr indulgence and patience
for my weakness and doubts in matters OF
faith, and the other that you will love me
even though God should lead cur hearts
