    PEARL SAGO AND FRUIT JELLIES.

    Soak half a cup of pearl sago two hours in a cup
    of cold water, then add half a cup of water and a
    cup and a half of fruit iuice strawberry, raspberry,
    or currant ; boil for twenty minutes and sweeten to
    taste. Fruit syrups may be used in winter; it will
    require less of the syrup than fruit juice.

    BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING.
    Cut six small tea buns in half, butter well, using
    two generous ounces of butter for the six, and put
    them together again. Beat three eggs with a cup
    and a half of rich milk, add half a cup of almonds
    blanched and chopped fine, one ounce of sugar, two
    tablespoonfuls of sherry, let the buns soak in this for
    awhile. Butter a mould, sprinkle with fine bread
    crumbs, take the buns out of the custard, lay them in
    the mould and pour the custard over them. Set the
    mould in a pan of boiling water in the oven and bake
    three-quarters of an hour, and serve hot with a
    sauce.

    BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING. No. 2.

    Cut some slices of home-made bread about half
    an inch thick, butter and lay in a pudding dish,
    sprinkle with currants, put another layer of buttered
    bread and currants. Beat three eggs light and stir
    into a pint of milk, sweeten to taste, flavor with a
    little grated lemon peel or cinnamon, pour over the
    bread and butter and bake in a moderate oven until
    the custard is set. Test with a knife ; if it comes out
    clean it is done. If baked too long the pudding will
    be watery. Serve cold and in the dish in which it is
    baked.

    PARSNIPS FRIED.

    Boil them until tender, cut them in slices length-
    wise and fry brown in a little butter.

    PARSNIP FRITTERS.

    Wash and scrape them and cut in slices, cover
    them with boiling water, cook until tender, mash
    them through a colander, return them to the fire, add
    to two large parsnips, a tablespoonful of butter, salt
    and pepper to taste, and one egg beaten well. Mix
    thoroughly, remove from the fire, and when cool
    make into small flat cakes and fry in a little butter.
    Serve hot.

    TO COOK STRING BEANS.

    String thoroughly, cut in half, then in half length-
    wise, throw into boiling water and let them come to
    a boil. Remove from the fire, drain, cover with cold
    water and let them stand in this until it is time to
    cook them, then drain again, cover with boiling
    water and cook for fifteen minutes, and when almost
    done add salt. When tender, drain, add a lump of
    butter, and salt and pepper to taste.

    SPANISH ONIONS STUFFED.

    Take two large Spanish onions, wash and skin
    and tie them to prevent breaking. Put them into a
    saucepan over the fire, cover with boiling water,
    cook until they can be pierced with a broom straw
    from two to three hours, according to size. When
    done, drain and carefully take out the centers,
    leaving about a quarter of an inch for the shell.
    Have ready a stuffing made from a quarter of a
    pound of mushrooms prepared as before. Put these
    and the centers of the onions into a chopping bowl
    and chop very fine. Cook them together until the
    moisture from the onions has almost evaporated,
    then add a generous heaping tablespoonful of butter,
    a tablespoonful of rich cream, and three heaping
    tablespoonfuls of grated bread crumbs, salt and
    pepper to taste. Fill the onion shells with this mix-
    ture, smooth the tops nicely, sprinkle with bread
    crumbs, brush with egg and a little butter. Put in
    the oven and brown about ten minutes, and serve
    with the following sauce: Rub a generous heaping
    tablespoonful of butter and a heaping tablespoonful
    of flour together. Put a small teacup of milk into a
    saucepan on the fire, when hot stir in the butter and
    flour and a quarter of a pound of mushrooms pre-
    pared as before and chopped very fine, season with
    salt and pepper to taste. Place the onions on a plat-
    ter and pour the sauce around them, garnish with
    parsley and serve.

    STUFFED CELERIAC WITH SPANISH SAUCE.

    Put over the fire in a saucepan three-quarters of
    a cup of rich milk and three ounces of butter, let
    them come to a boil, then add three ounces of dried
    and sifted bread crumbs and an even tablespoonful
    of flour. Let it cook, stirring all the time until it is
    a smooth paste and detaches itself from the sides of
    the pan, remove from the fire and set it aside to cool.
    When cold beat three eggs light, stir in a little at a
    time, beating well until the mixture is smooth and
    all the beaten egg used, then add a heaping tea-
    spoonful of sugar, three heaping tablespoonfuls of
    walnut meats chopped fine, two tablespoonfuls of
    rich cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Take four
    large, fine celeriac roots, clean, scrub and scrape
    them. Cut off a slice from the top of each to make
    a cover, then with an apple corer remove the inside,
    taking care not to pierce the root, leave a shell a quar-
    ter of an inch thick. Fill each with the dressing, leav-
    ing fully half an inch at the top for it to swell. Place
    the cover on each, tie well the roots to prevent break-
    ing in the cooking, stand them in a saucepan with
    water to reach not quite to the top of the roots, and
    put in all the celeriac removed from the roots, boil
    gently until tender about an hour adding boiling
    water from time to time as it evaporates. When
    they are tender take them out of the water and put
    them aside, keeping them hot. Strain the water they
    were boiled in, form what is left from the stuffing
    into small cylinders, boil five minutes in the strained
    stock, take them out and put with the roots to keep
    warm. Then take a generous tablespoonful of but-
    ter, an even tablespoonful of flour, brown them to-
    gether in a spider, add two heaping tablespoonfuls
    of chopped walnuts and let them brown a little, then
    stir in gradually the stock the roots were boiled in
    and cook until it thickens. Arrange the roots in the
    center of the platter, the cylinders around them and
    pour the sauce over all. Garnish with parsley, put-
    ting a tiny sprig of celery leaves in the top of each
    root.

    STUFFED EGG PLANT.

    Take half a large egg plant, boil gently until
    tender, remove from the fire, take out the pulp care-
    fully so as not to break the shell, leaving it about a
    quarter of an inch thick. Peel and stem a quarter of
    a pound of fresh mushrooms, chop very fine, reserve
    a heaping tablespoonful of this for the sauce, then
    add the pulp of the egg plant to the mushrooms in
    the chopping bowl, and one heaping tablespoonful of
    currants, washed and picked over, one even tea-
    spoonful of grated onion, one even teaspoonful of
    chopped green pepper, five heaping tablespoonfuls of
    grated bread crumbs, four tablespoonfuls of melted
    butter, two tablespoonfuls of rich cream. Mix all
    well together, fill the shell with this mixture, press
    it into shape and bind carefully -with string. Bake
    twenty minutes, remove the string and serve on a
    platter with the sauce poured around it.

    THE SAUCE. Put on the skins and stems of the
    mushrooms in a saucepan, cover with boiling water,
    cook until tender, drain, and into this water put the
    tablespoonful of reserved mushrooms, add salt and
    pepper to taste, boil a few minutes, then add a heap-
    ing teaspoonful of flpur stirred into a heaping table-
    spoonful of butter, let all cook together until thick,
    and pour around the egg plant.

    GREEN CORN CAKES.

    One quart of grated corn, one teacup of butter
    melted, four tablespoonfuls of flour, two eggs, and
    salt and pepper to taste. Bake as griddle cakes and
    serve at once. These cakes are very good made of
    canned corn. Pound the corn in a mortar and press
    through a sieve.

    CORN PUDDING.

    Four large ears of corn grated, or a can of corn
    prepared as for corn cakes, one heaping tablespoon-
    ful of butter, one teaspoonful of flour, one teaspoon-
    ful of sugar, one whole egg and one yolk. Melt the
    butter and stir into the corn, beat the eggs and add
    with one pint of milk, the sugar and flour, and salt
    and pepper to taste. Bake in a shallow dish in a
    moderate oven from twenty minutes to half an hour.
    If it bakes too long, it becomes watery.

    MOCK OYSTERS OF GREEN CORN.

    A pint of grated corn, a cup of flour, one egg, two
    ounces of butter, three tablespoonfuls of milk, and
    salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and drop from a
    spoon in oblong cakes to look as much like oysters
    as possible into hot butter, fry brown on both sides.
    Serve on a platter and garnish with parsley. These
    may also be made of canned corn by pressing it
    through a colander with a potato masher to sepa-
    rate the hulls from it.
