Here are some recipes for eggs served

gardine Eggs.
Boil hard % many eggs rs you re-

to each egg, then pound the yolks and
sardines together, adding salt and q
little cayenne pepper. Fill the cases of
the eggs with a little Of the mixture,
shaving Of little at the bottom so
they will stand.
Tomato Eggs.
A little butter, three tomatoes, two
eggs, cayenne, salt, pepper, chopped
parsley. Cut the tomatoes In halves,
remove the pulp, lay the halves on q
creased tin, season each and put a very
small piece of butter in the center.
Cover with buttered paper and bake in
q moderate oven for about a quarter of
an hour. Beat up the eggs, season with
| cayenne and salt; mix with the tomato
pulp, first rubbed through sieve. Melt
half an ounce Of butter in a saucepan,
add the pulp and eggs and stir the mix
| ture for O few minutes till set Fill the
halved tomato cases with the egg mix
ture and garnish with chopped parsley
and powdered yolk Of egg.
Curried Eggs.
Put six eggs into boiling water, and
| let them boil gently for Is to 20 min
| utes; into another saucepan of boiling
water put one cup Of rice and a good
| teaspoonful Of salt; let this boil fast
| for the same length Of time. While
these are cooking cut UP two small
onions and fry to a pale brown in two
ounces Of butter: push the onion slight
ly to one side. tilt the pan, and stir one
| level tablespoonful Of flour and the
same of curry powder into the fat; mix
| 1t to a smooth paste.
Take half q pint Of water or stock
and stir in gradually. You may now

| ingredients to simmer altogether for q
| quarter of an hour. These latter may
| be according to taste, or the condition
of your larder. One of the incest re-
suits will be obtained by cutting into
small pieces one green apple and two
tomatoes; with these put few raisins,
a little lemon juice, pepper and salt.
