+Rhymes to Remember...
+
+
+        "_Always have lobster sauce with salmon,
+        And put mint sauce your roasted lamb on.
+    In dressing salad mind this law
+    With two hard yolks use one raw.
+        Roast pork, sans apple sauce, past doubt
+        Is Hamlet with the Prince left out.
+    Broil lightly your beefsteak--to fry it
+    Argues contempt of christian diet.
+        It gives true epicures the vapors
+        To see boiled mutton minus capers.
+    Boiled turkey, gourmands know, of course
+    Is exquisite with celery sauce.
+        Roasted in paste, a haunch of mutton
+        Might make ascetics play the glutton.
+    To roast spring chickens is to spoil them,
+    Just split them down the back and broil them,
+    Shad, stuffed and baked is most delicious,
+    T'would have electrified Apicius.
+        Roast veal with rich stock gravy serve,
+        And pickled mushrooms too, observe,
+    The cook deserves a hearty cuffing
+    Who serves roast fowl with tasteless stuffing.
+        But one might rhyme for weeks this way,
+        And still have lots of things to say;
+    And so I'll close, for reader mine,
+    This is about the hour to dine._"
+
+
+
+
+SOUP.
+
+
+"The best soups are made with a blending of many flavors. Don't be
+afraid of experimenting with them. Where you make one mistake you will
+be surprised to find the number of successful varieties you can produce.
+If you like a spicy flavor try two or three cloves, or allspice, or bay
+leaves. All soups are improved by a dash of onion, unless it is the
+white soups, or purees from chicken, veal, fish, etc. In these celery
+may be used. In nothing as well as soups can a housekeeper be economical
+of the odds and ends of food left from meals. One of the best cooks was
+in the habit of saving everything, and announced one day, when her soup
+was especially praised, that it contained the crumbs of gingerbread from
+her cake box! Creamed onions left from a dinner, or a little stewed
+corn, potatoes mashed, a few baked beans--even a small dish of apple
+sauce have often added to the flavor of soup. Of course, all good meat
+gravies, or bones from roast or boiled meats, can be added to your stock
+pot. A little butter is always needed in tomato soup. In making stock,
+use a quart of water for every pound of meat and bone. Cut the meat in
+pieces, crack the bones, place all in the kettle, pour over it the
+proper quantity of cold water; let it soak a while on the back of the
+range before cooking. Let soup boil slowly, never hard, (an hour for
+each pound of meat) strain through a sieve or coarse cloth. Never let
+the fat remain on your soup. Let get cold and lift it off, or skim it
+off hot."
+
+
+BROWN STOCK.
+
+MRS. W. COOK.
+
+Four pounds shin of beef, or other meats and bones--four carrots, four
+onions, one turnip, one small head of celery, one half tablespoonful of
+salt, one half teaspoonful of peppercorns, six cloves, five pints of
+cold water. Cut up the meat bone and place it in a large saucepan, pour
+over the water, skim when boiling, prepare the vegetables, add them to
+the saucepan; cover closely and boil slowly four hours. The spice should
+be added with the vegetables.
+
+
+CREAM OF CELERY SOUP.
+
+MRS. ERNEST F. WURTELE.
+
+One quart chicken or veal broth; one quart milk; one half cupful rice;
+one teaspoonful salt; one head celery; seasoning. Use for this soup a
+quart of chicken or veal broth and about a quart of milk; pick over and
+wash the rice, rinse it well in cold water, and put it in a thick
+saucepan over the fire with a pint of milk and a teaspoonful of salt;
+wash a head of celery and grate the white stalks, letting the grated
+celery fall into milk enough to cover it; put the grated celery with the
+rice and gently simmer them together until the rice is tender enough to
+rub through a sieve with a potato masher, adding more milk if the rice
+absorbs what has first been put with it. After the rice has been rubbed
+through the sieve, return it to the saucepan, place it again over the
+fire, and gradually stir with it the quart of stock or broth; if this
+quantity of stock does not dilute the soup to a creamy consistency, add
+a little milk; let the soup get scalding hot, season it with salt, white
+pepper, and a very little grated nutmeg, and serve at once.
+
+
+CELERY SOUP.
+
+MRS. STOCKING.
+
+Four large potatoes, three large onions, six or eight stalks of celery.
+Chop all the vegetables very fine, and place in an earthern kettle and
+cover with boiling water, stir often till cooked, then add one quart of
+milk and let boil; add butter, pepper and salt to taste. This receipt
+will serve six persons.
+
+
+CHICKEN CREAM SOUP.
+
+MRS. DUNCAN LAURIE.
+
+Take the carcase of a roast chicken or turkey, break the bones, and
+cover with a quart of cold water and simmer for two hours adding
+boiling water, to keep the original quantity. Strain and return to
+kettle, add one chopped onion, two grated raw potatoes, one half small
+turnip grated, and one half cup rice. Boil until rice is very soft.
+Strain again, and return to kettle and let boil, and add one pint milk,
+one teaspoon cornstarch rubbed smooth in a tablespoon butter and a
+little salt and pepper, serve hot.
+
+
+CONSOMME A LA TOLEDO--CLEAR SOUP.
+
+MISS STEVENSON.
+
+One quart stock, two eggs, two gherkins, a little red and green
+colouring, two tablespoonfuls cream, whites and shells of two eggs, one
+wine glass of sherry, and a little nutmeg. Beat the two whole eggs, pour
+over them the cream (hot.) Season the custard with pepper, salt and
+nutmeg, colour half red and half green, pour both parts into buttered
+tins, poach in hot water until firm. Beat the whites and shells of eggs
+with a little cold water, add them to the stock, pour it into a saucepan
+and whisk over the fire till boiling; draw on one side and simmer ten
+minutes. Cut the custard in shapes, rinse then in warm water, shred the
+gherkins, strain the soup, add the wine and garnishing just before
+serving.
+
+
+CAULIFLOWER SOUP.
+
+One cauliflower, two yolks of egg, one half pint of cream, one quart
+chicken stock. Boil together the stock and cauliflower, for twenty
+minutes, take out the cauliflower, put aside some of the best parts,
+pass remainder through a sieve, mix together the yolks and cream, add
+them to the soup, put all in a saucepan and stir over the fire until it
+begins to thicken, put the pieces of cauliflower into a tureen and pour
+the soup over them; the stock used in this soup is better without any
+other vegetables.
+
+
+FISH SOUP.
+
+Two pounds of raw fish, one tablespoonful parsley, one and one half
+ounces butter, one ounce flour of rice, one half pint milk, one quart of
+water, pepper, and salt. Boil together the bones and skin of fish for
+half an hour. Strain, melt butter in a saucepan, stir into it the flour,
+add strained water from the pan. Cut up the fish into small pieces, add
+it, also salt and pepper, boil slowly ten minutes, add parsley at last
+minute.
+
+
+GIBLET SOUP.
+
+MISS BEEMER.
+
+Giblets from two or three fowls; two quarts of water; one of stock; two
+tablespoons of butter, ditto of flour; salt, pepper, and onion if
+desired. Put giblets on to boil in the water and boil gently till
+reduced to one quart (about two hours); take out the giblets, cut off
+tough parts and chop fine the remainder. Return to the liquor and add
+stock. Cook butter and flour together until a rich brown, and add to
+the soup; season, cook gently half an hour; stir in half a cup of bread
+crumbs and in a few minutes serve hot.
+
+
+KIDNEY SOUP.
+
+MISS STEVENSON.
+
+One ox kidney, one quart second stock or water, one tablespoon Hardy
+sauce, one tablespoon mushroom ketchup, one ounce butter, one ounce rice
+flour, pepper, salt and cayenne. Wash and dry the kidney, cut into thin
+slices; mix together the flour, pepper and salt and roll the kidney in
+it. Brown them quickly in the butter, pour over the stock, skim when
+boiling. Add sauce and simmer slowly two hours.
+
+
+LENTIL SOUP.
+
+MRS. THEOPHILUS OLIVER.
+
+One half pound of lentils, one carrot, one onion, one ounce dripping,
+salt, pepper corns, one quart of water, one tablespoon of flour. Soak
+the lentils all night, wash well, scrape carrot, and onion cut up. Put
+the dripping into a saucepan, when warm, put in vegetables, lentils and
+flour. Stir for five minutes until all fat is absorbed, add the water
+warm, some herbs tied in a bit of muslin. Boil for an hour or more. Rub
+through a sieve, return to saucepan. Reheat and serve.
+
+
+OX TAIL SOUP.
+
+MRS. W. COOK.
+
+Divide an ox tail into lengths of an inch and a half; melt an ounce of
+butter in a stew pan and fry the pieces in this, turning them about for
+five minutes. Add two quarts of stock or water and bring gently to a
+boil. Throw in a teaspoonful of salt, and carefully remove the scum as
+it rises. Add a carrot, a turnip and an onion with two cloves stuck in
+it, a little celery, a blade of mace and a small bouquet of garum. Stew
+gently two and one half hours. Strain the soup and put the pieces of ox
+tail in cold water to free them of fat. Mix an ounce and one half of
+flour smoothly with a little cold water, add to the stock and simmer for
+twenty minutes. Add a little cayenne, a few drops of lemon juice and a
+glass of port wine if liked and serve.
+
+
+OYSTER SOUP.
+
+MISS MIRIAM STRANG.
+
+One quart boiling water, one quart milk, stir in one teacup rolled
+cracker crumbs, season with pepper and salt to taste. When all come to a
+boil add one quart of oysters; stir well so as to keep from scorching,
+then add a piece of butter size of an egg; let it boil up just once,
+then remove from the fire immediately.
+
+
+CREAM OF PEA SOUP.
+
+MISS RUTH SCOTT.
+
+One tin of peas and one pint of water, a very small piece of onion, let
+it boil about twenty minutes, strain and mash through sieve. Two
+tablespoonfuls of butter, and one of flour, well blended together. Add
+that to the peas. Last of all add a pint or _more of boiling milk_. Put
+on the stove till it thickens, but be careful not to let it boil.
+
+
+PALESTINE SOUP.
+
+MRS. W. COOK.
+
+Wash and pare two pounds of artichokes and put them in a stewpan with a
+slice of butter, two or three strips of bacon rind, which have been
+scalded and scraped and two bay leaves. Put the lid on the stew pan and
+let the vegetables "sweat" over the fire for eight or ten minutes,
+shaking the pan occasionally to keep them from sticking. Pour on water
+to cover the artichokes and stew gently till soft. Rub them through a
+sieve, mix the liquor they were boiled in with them, make the soup hot
+and add boiling milk until it is as thick as double cream. Add pepper
+and salt to taste. Just before serving, mix with the soup a quarter of a
+pint of hot cream. This addition will be a valuable one, but may be
+dispensed with.
+
+
+PUREE DE PETIT POIS.
+
+MISS STEVENSON.
+
+One pint green peas, two yolks of egg, one gill cream, one and one half
+pints stock, salt and pepper. Strain the liquid from the peas, put them
+with the stock in a saucepan and simmer twenty minutes; pass them
+through a sieve, pour back to the pan, add yolks, cream, pepper and
+salt, and stir over the fire until it begins to thicken; do not allow it
+to boil. A spray of mint boiled with the peas is a great improvement.
+
+
+PUREE DE VEAU.
+
+Four ounces pounded veal, one pint stock, one ounce butter, one ounce
+flour, yolks of two eggs, few drops of lemon juice, one half pint
+whipped cream. Mix veal and butter together in a saucepan, add flour,
+then by degrees the stock (hot) just boil up. Mix yolks and add little
+by little the cream, a few drops of cochineal, salt and pepper, pour
+over this the contents of the saucepan very carefully.
+
+
+TOMATO SOUP.
+
+MRS. HENRY THOMSON.
+
+One pint of stewed tomatoes, add a pinch of soda, stir till it ceases
+foaming, then add one pint boiling water and one pint of milk, strain
+and put on the stove and when near boiling, add a tablespoonful of
+cornstarch, wet it with a little cold milk, one tablespoon butter, a
+little pepper and salt to taste.
+
+
+TOMATO SOUP.
+
+MISS EDITH HENRY.
+
+Take a tin of tomatoes and add half a pint of water. Let this boil for
+half an hour till the tomatoes are well broken. Add a tablespoonful of
+cornstarch, dissolved in a little cold water and mix well. Flavor with
+salt and pepper to taste, and half a small onion. Then add a quart of
+milk. Let this boil and stir well, so that it will mix, and be careful
+that it does not burn on the bottom of the pan.
+
+
+TURKISH SOUP.
+
+MRS. W. COOK.
+
+One quart of white stock, one half teacupful of rice, yolks of two eggs,
+one tablespoon cream, salt and pepper. In preparing this soup boil first
+the rice in the stock for twenty minutes. Then pass the whole through a
+wire sieve, rubbing through such of the rice as may stick with a spoon,
+then stir it thoroughly to beat out such lumps as the rice may have
+formed and return all to the saucepan. The yolk of egg, cream, pepper
+and salt, must now be well beaten together and added to the stock and
+rice, the whole stirred over the fire for two minutes, care being taken
+to prevent boiling after the eggs are put in, or they will curdle. This
+soup should be served very hot and is excellent.
+
+
+TURTLE BEAN SOUP.
+
+MISS FRASER.
+
+One pint of black beans, boil in two quarts of water, one onion, two
+carrots, small teaspoon of allspice, five or six cloves, a small bit of
+bacon or ham. A good bone of roast beef or mutton, let all boil till
+quite tender perhaps two hours. Then turn into a colander, take out the
+bone and rub all the rest with a wooden spoon through the colander, if
+this is too thick add some stock or water. Some meat balls can be
+added.

+
+
+
+FISH AND OYSTERS.
+
+
+    "Now good digestion wait on appetite,
+     And health on both."--MACBETH.
+
+
+RULE FOR SELECTING FISH.
+
+If the gills are red, the eyes full, and the whole fish firm and stiff,
+they are fresh and good; if on the contrary, the gills are pale, the
+eyes sunken, the flesh flabby, they are stale.
+
+
+BAKED CODFISH.
+
+MRS. DAVID BELL.
+
+Choose a good sized fresh codfish, prepare it for cooking without
+beheading it, fill the inside with a dressing of bread crumbs, a finely
+chopped onion, a little chopped suet, pepper and salt and moisten all
+with an egg. Sew up the fish and bake, basting with butter or dripping.
+If butter, beware of too much salt.
+
+
+BAKED CODFISH.
+
+MRS. R. M. STOCKING.
+
+Pick very fine one cup of codfish; soak several hours in cold water;
+have ready two cups of mashed potatoes and mix well with one egg, a cup
+of milk, one half cup of butter, little salt and pepper; put this in a
+baking dish and cover the top with bread crumbs; moisten with milk; bake
+one-half hour.
+
+
+CURRIED FISH.
+
+MRS. W. COOK.
+
+One pound cooked white fish, one apple, two ounces of butter, one onion,
+one pint of fish stock, one tablespoon curry-powder, one tablespoon
+flour, one teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar, salt and pepper, six ounces
+of rice. Slice the apple and onion, and brown them in a pan with a
+little butter, stir in them the flour and curry powder, add the stock by
+degrees; skim when boiling and simmer slowly one half hour, stir in them
+the lemon juice, also a very small teaspoon sugar; strain and return to
+the saucepan, cut up the fish into neat pieces, and put them into the
+saucepan also, when quite hot dish with a border of rice.
+
+
+FISH CREAM.
+
+MRS. J. G. SCOTT.
+
+One can of salmon, one quart of milk, one cup of flour, one cup of
+butter, three eggs, one cupful of bread crumbs, one half cupful grated
+cheese, one onion, one bunch of parsley, two bay leaves. Take the canned
+salmon, or boil a fish, and when cool take out the bones and break the
+fish in small pieces. Put on to boil one quart of milk, an onion, a
+bunch of parsley, and two bay leaves; after boiling strain through a
+colander, then add a cup of flour mixed smooth with cold milk and a cup
+of butter; beat up three eggs and pour into the mixture. Put in a baking
+dish alternate layers of fish and cream until the dish is full, putting
+cream top and bottom. Place on top one cup of bread crumbs and one half
+cup of grated cheese. Salt to taste, and cayenne pepper. Bake twenty
+minutes.
+
+
+FISH MOULD.
+
+MRS. A. COOK.
+
+Boil a fresh haddock, remove the bones and pick it in pieces, soak some
+bread in milk; put the fish, bread, a small piece of butter, one or two
+eggs, pepper and salt together in a bowl and beat them well together.
+Put the mixture in a mould and steam, turn out, and garnish with
+parsley. Tomato sauce is nice poured round the mould when turned out.
+The fish should be about twice the quantity of the bread.
+
+
+TOMATO SAUCE.
+
+Six tomatoes, two ounces butter, one half ounce flour, one half pint
+stock, one teaspoon of salt, one fourth teaspoon of pepper. Place the
+tomatoes in a pan and pour over them the stock, add salt and pepper.
+Place the pan over the fire and cook all slowly for half an hour. Place
+a wire sieve over a basin and rub the tomatoes and stock through the
+sieve. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour stir well together,
+pour over the tomatoes and stock and stir all over the fire till
+boiling, when the sauce is ready for use. Tinned tomatoes do not take so
+long to boil.
+
+
+FISH SCALLOP.
+
+MISS RUTH SCOTT.
+
+Remains of cold fish of any sort, one half pint of cream, one half
+tablespoonful anchovy sauce, one half teaspoonful made mustard, one half
+teaspoonful walnut ketchup, pepper and salt, bread crumbs. Put all the
+ingredients into a stew pan, carefully picking the fish from the bones;
+set it on the fire, let it remain till nearly hot, and stir
+occasionally. Then put in a deep dish, with bread and small bits of
+butter on top; put in the oven till nearly browned. Serve hot.
+
+
+FISH PIE.
+
+MRS. ANDREW THOMSON.
+
+Boil one haddock, take the best part of the fish, one pint of milk and a
+piece of butter as large as an egg, half a cup of flour, two yolks of
+eggs, stir together, and then mix well with the fish. Put in a pudding
+dish, and take a half cup of bread crumbs, half a cup of grated cheese,
+put in the oven for ten minutes, salt and pepper to taste.
+
+
+POTTED HERRINGS.
+
+MRS. DAVID BELL.
+
+Scale and clean fresh herrings, then taking the fish by the tail you can
+easily remove the backbone drawing it towards the head. The smaller
+bones will melt in the vinegar; remove the heads and roll each fish up,
+tail end inside, and wind a thread round each roll, lay them in the
+vessel they are to remain in till used, a stone earthernware crock is
+best. Make scalding hot with spices as much vinegar as will cover them,
+pour it over the fish and keep them hot about the stove for about an
+hour, when they will be well cooked through; do not let them boil or
+they will break. Keep in a cool place. Spices: whole white pepper, whole
+allspice, and a blade of mace if it is liked.
+
+
+LOBSTER CUTLETS.
+
+MRS. FARQUHARSON SMITH.
+
+Mince the lobster fine, and season with pepper and salt, make good and
+thick with drawn butter. Mix with the lobster enough to make it stick
+together. Shape with the hands into cutlets, roll in bread crumbs and
+fry in hot lard.
+
+_The Sauce:_--Make rather a thin custard, season with pepper, salt and a
+little nutmeg and chopped parsley, place over the cutlets.
+
+
+LOBSTER STEW.
+
+MRS. ERNEST F. WURTELE.
+
+Take a boiled lobster and split it open, cut the meat into small pieces
+and put into a saucepan with one pint of milk; when boiling add two
+tablespoons of flour dissolved in a little water, and boil ten minutes.
+Season with salt, pepper and a small piece of butter. Just before
+serving pour in a wineglassful of sherry. Canned lobster may be used
+with very good results.
+
+
+OYSTER PIE.--FAMOUS.
+
+One cup melted butter is put in a lined saucepan, and three tablespoons
+of flour which are rubbed well into the butter, one half teaspoon of
+mace, a little pepper and salt. The juice of the oysters is put into
+this to make it thin, and little by little one quart of boiling milk to
+one quart of oysters. Last the oysters are put in very carefully and
+given a very short boil. The whole is pretty thick and is then put into
+a pie dish with pie crust over; one cup of cream is put in just before
+the oysters are emptied into the pie dish.
+
+
+OYSTER PIE OR PATTIES.
+
+MISS M. A. RITCHIE.
+
+Crust:--One pound of butter, one pound of flour, one half cup of water.
+Sauce:--One tablespoonful of butter, two tablespoonfuls of flour, one
+cup of cream or milk, one pint of oysters.
+

+
+
+CREAMED OYSTERS ON TOAST.
+
+MRS. R. M. STOCKING.
+
+One quart of milk, two tablespoons flour three tablespoons butter,
+pepper and salt. Put milk in double boiler, mix butter and flour
+thoroughly, adding a little cold milk before stirring into the hot milk;
+cook: One pint of oysters, let simmer in their liquor for about five
+minutes, then skim out, drop into the cream sauce. Prepare thin slices
+of crisp toast, lay on heated platter; pour over creamed oysters, serve
+at once. Delicious.
+
+

+
+MISS STEVENSON.
+
+Twenty-five oysters, one dessertspoonful chopped parsley, three ounces
+butter, one and one half ounces flour, one gill milk or cream, one
+teaspoon lemon juice, one egg, three tablespoons bread crumbs, salt and
+pepper. Boil the oysters in their own liquor five minutes, cut them in
+rough pieces, melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour, add
+cream by degrees, also oyster liquor, boil two minutes, add then the
+parsley, pepper, and salt, put in the oysters and allow the mixture to
+cool. Form it then into croquettes on a slightly floured board. Roll in

+one well beaten egg; pour round the mould and serve hot.
+
+
+CREAMED SALMON.
+
+MISS H. BARCLAY.
+
+One can salmon minced fine, draw off the liquor. For the dressing, boil
+one pint milk, two tablespoons butter, salt and pepper to taste. Have
+ready one pint of bread crumbs, place a layer in the bottom of the dish,
+then a layer of fish, then a layer of dressing, and so on, leaving
+crumbs for the last layer, and bake till brown.
+
+
+
+
+MEATS.
+
+
+MEATS.
+
+MRS. DAVID BELL.
+
+To make beefsteak tender, rub a pinch of baking soda on each side of the
+steak about an hour before cooking and roll it up on itself in the
+meantime. A very small pinch of brown sugar used in the same way is
+good, but the soda is thought preferable.
+
+
+MEAT BALLS.
+
+MRS. WADDLE.
+
+Mash finely some potatoes, pass through a sieve, stir in the yolks of
+two eggs, one ounce of butter, pepper and salt. Mince finely some beef
+or tongue. Mix all well together, add a little parsley, roll into balls,
+cover with egg and bread crumbs, fry in hot lard. Let them dry before
+the fire on paper. Very good.
+
+
+SPICED BEEF.
+
+Rub well into a round weighing forty pounds, three ounces saltpetre, let
+stand six or eight hours, pound three ounces allspice, one pound black
+pepper, two pounds salt, and seven ounces brown sugar; rub the beef well
+with the salt and spices. Let it remain fourteen days turning it every
+day and rub with the pickle, then wash off the spices and put in a deep
+pan, cut small six pounds of suet, put some in the bottom of the pan,
+the greater part on the top, cover with coarse paste and bake eight
+hours; when cold take off the paste pour off the gravy, it will keep six
+months.
+
+
+SPICED BEEF.
+
+MISS J. E. FRASER.
+
+Two pounds of raw steak from the round, free from bone, fat or sinew,
+chopped very fine, six soda biscuits rolled fine, one cup of milk, two
+eggs beaten in one tablespoon salt, one dessertspoon of pepper, and add
+a little spice if you like. Butter an earthenware jar as large round the
+top as the bottom and press the mixture in very lightly. Cover with
+butter one half inch thick. Cover the jar with a plate and bake in an
+oven for two hours. Serve whole or cut in slices. Nicer cold.
+
+
+BEEF A LA MODE.
+
+MRS. I. T. SMYTHE.
+
+One half pound of meat, cut up into four inch squares and two or three
+inches thick, add onion chopped fine, one teaspoon salt, and one half
+teaspoon pepper, cover with boiling water and place in jar and cook in
+oven for two hours.
+
+
+BEEF OLIVES.
+
+MRS. GEORGE M. CRAIG.
+
+Thin slices of steak cut into squares about the size of hand; make a
+dressing similar to chicken, bake, then put on the steak and roll, put
+in the saucepan with some onion and butter in a little water, let it
+simmer for an hour and a half to two hours.
+
+
+COLD MEAT CUTLETS.
+
+MRS. A. COOK.
+
+Half pound cold meat or chicken, one ounce butter, one ounce of flour,
+one gill white stock, one teaspoon chopped parsley, one half saltspoon
+grated nutmeg, small teaspoon of salt, saltspoon of pepper, grated rind
+of half a small lemon. Pass chicken twice through the mincer, then melt
+the butter, stir into it the flour, get it perfectly smooth and add
+stock, don't let it brown, stir until it boils and boil two minutes, add
+the chicken, (when properly cooked will leave the pan clearly) add
+pepper, salt, nutmeg, parsley and lemon, put it away to cool. In using
+cold beef, a teaspoon anchovy essence or paste is an improvement, and to
+mutton a teaspoon mushroom catsup. When the mixture is cold, place some
+flour on board to prevent sticking and form into rolls with square
+edges, beat the egg, place breadcrumbs mixed with pepper and salt on
+paper, put the rolls first in the egg, then in crumbs, have sufficient
+fat in pan and when the white smoke rises, put the rolls in and fry
+three minutes, drain on paper. Brown sauce may be served and mashed peas
+or potatoes placed in the centre.
+
+
+CURED MUTTON HAMS.
+
+MRS. W. COOK.
+
+Quarter of a pound bay salt, ditto of common salt, one ounce saltpetre,
+four ounces brown sugar, one ounce allspice, four ounces black pepper
+(whole), the allspice or one ounce of coriander seed must be bruised not
+ground, one quart of water: boil all together a few minutes and rub on
+hot. In three weeks the hams will be ready to hang if well rubbed with
+the pickle everyday. Sufficient pickle for two.
+
+
+BRAISED MUTTON.
+
+MRS. ARCHIE COOK.
+
+One boned shoulder of mutton, four ounces of bread crumbs, two ounces of
+suet, rind of half a lemon, bunch of mixed vegetables, one tablespoon
+chopped parsley, other herbs if liked, one egg, a little milk, one
+teaspoon of salt, half teaspoon of pepper. Chop suet finely (or fat from
+mutton will do) add breadcrumbs, parsley, grated lemon rind and salt,
+moisten with egg and milk. Place mixture in mutton, roll up and tie
+securely. Slice vegetables and put them with bones in saucepan also two
+cloves, a bay leaf and peppercorns, pour over them a pint of stock or
+water, place mutton on top and boil slowly about one and one half hours
+according to size of meat, then brush it over with glaze or sprinkle
+with flour, pepper and salt and bake it half an hour. Place on a dish,
+pour fat from pan and stir in half ounce of flour (browned) add stock in
+which meat was cooked, also one tablespoon mushroom catsup and one
+tablespoon Worcester sauce, pepper and salt, boil two minutes and strain
+around meat. Vegetables in stock can be cut to ornament the dish.
+
+
+GENUINE IRISH STEW.
+
+MRS. DUNCAN LAURIE.
+
+Take the feet and legs of a pig, cut off at the hams, two will be
+sufficient for a family of eight. Singe off the hair and thoroughly
+cleanse them, removing the toes by scorching. Cut the legs in pieces
+suitable for stewing, put down in cold water and cook slowly for three
+hours. Pare and cut up nine or ten good sized potatoes and add to your
+stew with salt and pepper, about one half an hour before dishing. After
+the potatoes have been put in, the greatest care must be taken to
+prevent them from sticking to the pot and burning, therefore you must
+stir frequently with a spoon. What remains from dinner pour into a mould
+and it will become a jelly, which is nice eaten cold for breakfast.
+
+
+TO STEW A FRESH TONGUE.
+
+MRS. ARCHIE COOK.
+
+Wash it very well and rub it well with common salt and a little
+saltpetre; let it lie two or three days; then boil till the skin will
+peel off; put it into a saucepan with part of the liquor it has boiled
+in and a pint of good stock, season with black and Jamaica pepper, two
+or three pounded cloves. Add a glassful of white wine, a tablespoonful
+of mushroom catsup and one of lemon pickle, thicken with butter rolled
+in flour. Stew the tongue till quite soft in this sauce; the wine can be
+added when dished or left out if preferred.
+
+
+LAMBS' TONGUES STEWED.
+
+MRS. ARCHIE COOK.
+
+Six tongues, three heaping tablespoons of butter, one large onion, two
+slices of carrot, three slices of white turnip, three tablespoons flour,
+one of salt, a little pepper, one quart of stock or water and some sweet
+herbs. Boil the tongues one hour and a half in clear water, take them
+up, cover with cold water, and draw off the skins. Put the butter,
+onion, turnip and carrot in the stewpan and cook slowly for fifteen
+minutes, then add the flour and cook until brown, stirring all the time.
+Stir the stock into this and when it boils up, add the tongues, salt,
+pepper and herbs; simmer gently for two hours. Cut the carrots, turnips
+and potatoes into cubes. Boil the potatoes in salted water ten minutes
+and the carrots and turnips one hour. Place the tongues in the centre of
+a hot dish, arrange the vegetables around them, strain the gravy, over
+all. Garnish with parsley.
+
+
+ROAST FILLET OF VEAL.
+
+MRS. RATTRAY.
+
+Take a good sized, white, fat leg of veal, weighing some ten or twelve
+pounds. Remove the meat carefully from the bone and take out the bone.
+Then pin the meat securely into a nice round with skewers; fill the
+cavity from which the bone was taken with the following dressing. Roast
+in a slow oven, allowing one quarter of an hour for each pound, and be
+sure to keep it thoroughly basted with plenty of beef dripping.
+
+
+DRESSING.
+
+Make ready one coffee cup of bread crumbs, one teaspoonful of chopped
+parsley, one half teaspoonful summer savory, pepper and salt to taste.
+Take a good sized onion, peel, slice, and fry it well with a piece of
+butter the size of an egg; pour the liquor from this into your bread
+crumbs and blend all thoroughly together. Be careful not to put the
+onion in, only the fried butter and onion juice. When the meat is
+cooked, remove from pan and make a rich brown gravy to serve with it.
+Garnish your dish with fried bacon and slices of lemon.
+
+
+STUFFING FOR VEAL.
+
+MRS. W. CLINT.
+
+Chop half a pound of beef suet very fine, put in a basin, with eight
+ounces of bread crumbs, four ounces of chopped parsley, a tablespoonful
+of equal quantities of powdered thyme and marjoram, the rind of a lemon
+grated, the juice of half a one; season with pepper and salt, and a
+quarter of a nutmeg; mix the whole with two eggs; this will do also for
+turkey or baked fish.
+
+
+YORKSHIRE PUDDING.
+
+MRS. GEORGE CRESSMAN.
+
+Two eggs, four tablespoonfuls of flour, a little salt and milk to make a
+batter the thickness of cream. When the beef is roasted pour off the
+boiling dripping into another pan, turn in the batter and bake to a good
+brown.

+
+GAME.
+
+
+ACCOMPANIMENTS.--With wild ducks, cucumber sauce, currant jelly or
+cranberry sauce.
+
+
+ROAST DUCK WITH APPLES.
+
+MISS BEEMER.
+
+Pluck and singe a duck, draw it without breaking the intestines, wipe it
+with a wet towel and lay it in a baking pan; wipe a dozen small sour
+apples with a wet cloth, cut out the cores without breaking the apples,
+and arrange them around the duck; put the pan into a hot oven and
+quickly brown the duck, then moderate the heat of the oven and continue
+the cooking for about twenty minutes, or until the apples are tender but
+not broken, baste both duck and apples every five minutes until they are
+done, and then serve them on the same dish. It is a great improvement
+some think, to parboil the duck for fifteen minutes with an onion in the
+water, and the strong fishy flavor that is sometimes so disagreeable in
+wild ducks will have disappeared. A carrot will answer the same purpose.
+
+
+ROAST QUAIL WITH BREAD SAUCE.
+
+Peel and slice an onion and put it over the fire in a pint of milk;
+pluck and singe half a dozen quail, draw them without breaking the
+intestines, cut off the heads and feet, and wipe them with a wet towel;
+rub them all over with butter; season them with pepper and salt, and
+roast them before a very hot fire for fifteen minutes basting them three
+or four times with butter. Have some slices of toast laid under them to
+catch the drippings. While the birds are roasting make a bread sauce as
+follows; roll a pint bowlfull of dry bread, and sift the crumbs; use the
+finest ones for the sauce, and the largest for the frying later; remove
+the onion from the milk in which it has been boiling, stir into the milk
+the finest portion of the crumbs, season it with a saltspoonful of white
+pepper and a grate of nutmeg, stir in a tablespoonful of butter, and
+stir the sauce until it is smooth; then place the saucepan containing it
+in a pan of boiling water to keep it hot; put two tablespoonfuls of
+butter over the fire in a frying pan, and when it is smoking hot put
+into it the coarse half of the crumbs, dust them with cayenne pepper,
+and stir them until they are light brown; then at once put them on a hot
+dish; put the bread sauce into a gravy-boat ready to send it to the
+table. Arrange to have the fried breadcrumbs, sauce and quail done at
+the same time; serve the birds on the toast which has been laid under
+them; in serving the quail, lay each bird on a hot plate, pour over it a
+large spoonful of the bread sauce and on that place a spoonful of the
+fried bread crumbs.
+
+
+VENISON STEAK.
+
+MRS. ERNEST F. WURTELE.
+
+Take a piece of frozen venison, and put into water in which has been put
+two tablespoons of vinegar. Just leave until the ice comes to the
+surface of the meat, take the meat out and remove the ice with a knife;
+wipe dry and flour well, put a good piece of butter in the pan; let
+brown, put the steak in salt, and pepper, fry on both sides, then add a
+cup of rich milk, push the pan to the back of the stove and cover it and
+let it stew slowly for one and a half hours--If the steak is very dry
+lard it with salt pork before frying.
+
+
+STEWED PIGEONS.
+
+MRS. HARRY LAURIE.
+
+For two pair of pigeons stuff first with bread, summer savory, butter,
+pepper, salt. Put eight or nine slices of fat pork, in an iron pot to
+fry, until the pork is well browned, then take it out and put in the
+pigeons and let brown thoroughly, keep turning to prevent burning. Then
+add one pint of stock, season if required, put back slices of pork and
+let stew for an hour and a half (at least) quietly. If gravy is not
+thick enough, add a tablespoon of brown flour. About quarter of an hour
+before done, put in a can of green peas--Then serve.
+
+
+STEWED HARE.
+
+Can be prepared in the same manner as the above for stewed pigeons, with
+the addition of spices: cloves a few, and a little more of cinnamon.
+
+
+BREAD SAUCE.
+
+MRS. BENSON BENNETT.
+
+One half pint boiled milk to one cup of fine bread crumbs, one small
+onion, two cloves, one piece of mace, salt to taste, let simmer five
+minutes, add small piece of butter.
+
+
+CRANBERRY JELLY.
+
+Pare, quarter, and core twelve good sized tart apples, place in a
+porcelain kettle with two quarts of cranberries, cover well with cold
+water and stew until soft, then strain through a jelly bag, add to this
+juice two pounds of confectioner's sugar, and boil as you would any
+other jelly, until it falls from the skimmer; when you dip it in skim
+off any froth that arises while boiling, put in moulds and let it get
+firm before using.
+
+
+PLAIN DRESSING FOR FOWLS.
+
+MRS. W. CLINT.
+
+One cup and a half of bread crumbs (not too stale), one heaped teaspoon
+each of parsley, thyme and savory, one dessert spoonful butter, half
+teaspoon salt, quarter of a teaspoon pepper, mix all together with a
+little milk.
+
+
+PLAIN DRESSING FOR GEESE AND DUCKS.
+
+One cup breadcrumbs or potatoes, one cup or more of stewed onions, one
+tablespoon sage, pepper, salt and a little butter, mix with a little
+milk.

+VEGETABLES.
+
+
+    "Cheerful cooks make every dish a feast."--MASSINGER.
+
+
+Always have the water boiling when you put your vegetables in, and keep
+it constantly boiling until they are done. Cook each kind by itself when
+convenient. All vegetables should be well seasoned.
+
+
+APPLES.
+
+MRS. DAVID BELL.
+
+When the barrel of apples you have bought, begins to make your mind
+uneasy, because they can spoil faster than you can use them, a good plan
+is to peel, core and stir them with a very little sugar and screw them
+down in your jam jars. They will keep for a couple of months and will be
+handy to fill a tart or as apple sauce, etc.; they do not need to be
+cooked too much and some of the firmer sorts may remain in quarters
+solid enough for a pie. Another plan is to peel but not core the
+suspicious ones, then let them freeze solid, when frozen pack them in a
+box and cover. Keep them where they will not thaw. When you wish for a
+dish of baked apples, put them in your baking pan, scatter a little
+sugar over them and put them in a quick oven without letting them thaw,
+when done, they should each be whole and a pretty brown color.
+
+
+BEANS.
+
+Beans are a nice winter vegetable, but cooked with pork as "baked
+beans," are too strong for daily use, but are a desirable article of
+food cooked more plainly. Choose the small white beans, put them in a
+saucepan with as much cold water, as will cover them well and a small
+pinch of baking soda; when they have simmered a few minutes drain off
+the water and replace it with hot water and a little salt; if possible
+let them cook without boiling hard; when tender drain, and dish with a
+liberal piece of butter and a dust of pepper. They are also good thrown
+when drained into the frying pan with some dripping, pepper and salt,
+and heated a few minutes over the fire. The only attention they require
+in cooking is lest they melt into soup when nearly cooked.
+
+
+FRIED BEETS.
+
+MRS. DUNCAN LAURIE.
+
+Boil until tender, slice and put in stewpan with a teaspoon of vinegar,
+half the juice of a lemon, one half teaspoonful each sugar and salt, a
+grate of nutmeg and a dash of pepper. Add two tablespoonfuls of stock, a
+teaspoon butter, and let simmer one half hour.
+
+
+CREAMED CABBAGE.
+
+MISS J. E. FRASER.
+
+Cut a medium sized cabbage in quarters. Take out the stem, put into a
+kettle of boiling water, cook for ten minutes, drain and cover with cold
+water. This will destroy the odor so unpleasant. When cold, chop fine,
+season with salt and pepper. Make a sauce of two tablespoons of butter,
+one tablespoon flour, mix smooth, add one pint of milk; cook in this
+sauce slowly for three quarters of an hour.
+
+
+STEWED CUCUMBERS.
+
+MRS. DAVID BELL.
+
+Peel a nice straight cucumber, cut in four lengthwise, scoop out all
+seeds, and cut it in pieces about three inches long; throw these into a
+saucepan of boiling water with a little salt. When they bend under the
+touch, they are done, drain in a sieve, then put in a stewpan with a
+good sized piece of butter, finely chopped parsley salt and pepper. Toss
+over the fire till thoroughly heated through and serve in a hot dish.
+
+
+OYSTER CABBAGE.
+
+MRS. D. M. COOK.
+
+Mince fine one half a cabbage, boil for ten minutes and strain off
+water. Then cover cabbage with milk and let come to a boil, add rolled
+cracker crumbs, butter size of a walnut, salt and pepper to taste.
+
+
+CORN OMELET.
+
+Boil one half dozen ears of corn, cut corn from the cob; beat four eggs
+separately, add to the corn the beaten yolks, salt and pepper, put in
+the whites last, fry in a pan with plenty of butter.
+
+
+MACARONI AND CHEESE.
+
+MISS H. BARCLAY.
+
+Boil quarter of a pound of macaroni in water, for half an hour, cool and
+chop. Make a sauce of one tablespoonful butter, one dessertspoon of
+flour, half pint milk, one teaspoonful of mustard. Boil one minute; mix
+all together with three ounces of grated cheese. Put in a shallow dish
+sprinkling top with cheese. Bake a golden brown and garnish with toast.
+
+
+MACARONI.
+
+MRS. THOM.
+
+One half pound macaroni, one half pound cheese, one quarter pound of
+butter, pint of milk, mustard and cayenne. Boil macaroni in salt and
+water until tender, drain and lay in dish. Put pint of milk on fire,
+just before boiling, add one tablespoon flour, rubbed smooth in a little
+cold milk, butter, nearly all the cheese grated, mustard and cayenne.
+Boil until thick as custard, then pour over macaroni, sprinkle
+remainder of cheese on top with some small pieces of butter; if used
+immediately bake twenty minutes, if allowed to get cold one half hour.
+
+
+CREAM-BAKED ONIONS.
+
+MRS. J. S. THOM.
+
+Pare as many good-sized onions as required and cover with boiling water,
+boil for ten minutes, then drain. Cover again with boiling water to
+which add one half teaspoon of salt, and cook till tender. Drain
+carefully and put the onions in a baking dish, place on each a teaspoon
+of butter, add pepper and salt to taste, then fill the dish half full of
+milk and cover with a layer of fine bread-crumbs. Bake till a delicate
+brown.
+
+
+CORN OYSTERS.
+
+MRS. FRANK GLASS.
+
+One pint green grated corn, two tablespoons of milk, two eggs, two
+tablespoons of butter, flour to make a batter. Fry with butter.
+
+
+OYSTER PANCAKES.
+
+MRS. WADDLE.
+
+One quart of new milk, three eggs, one half dozen green corn grated, one
+half teacup melted butter, one teaspoon salt and pepper. Flour enough to
+make a thin batter, fry with butter.
+
+
+STIRRED POTATOES WITH EGGS.
+
+MISS GRACE MACMILLAN.
+
+Eight cold boiled potatoes chopped fine. Put into the saucepan a piece
+of butter the size of an egg. When it melts stir in the potatoes,
+stirring them till brown, then pour in four well beaten eggs, and stir
+them well through the potatoes. Serve very hot.
+
+
+SWEET POTATOES STUFFED.
+
+MRS. ARCHIBALD LAURIE.
+
+Four large sized sweet potatoes baked until tender, then cut carefully
+in two. Cut a piece off each end, so they will stand, then scoop out,
+leaving the skins perfect. Mash the potato fine with an egg dressing as
+follows: boil four eggs hard, mash the yolks to a paste with cream to
+thin, salt and pepper to taste and a little mustard if liked; with this
+mixture fill the skins, place a piece of butter on top of each, and bake
+until well browned. Serve in individual saucers with a small doyley
+under.
+
+
+POTATO FRILL.
+
+MRS. FRANK GLASS.
+
+Boil and mash some potatoes, working in a little milk and butter but not
+enough to make the paste soft; while hot add one beaten egg. Shape this
+paste into a fence on the inside round of a shallow dish, fluting it
+with the round handle of a knife. Set one minute in a hot oven but not
+long enough to cause the fence to crack. Glaze quickly with butter and
+pour the meat carefully within the wall. The mince should not be so thin
+as to wash away the frill.
+
+
+POTATO PUFF.
+
+MISS CORDELIA JACKSON.
+
+Take two cupfuls of cold mashed potato, and stir into it six
+teaspoonfuls of melted butter, beating to a white cream before adding
+anything else. Then put with this two eggs, whipped very light and a
+teacupful of cream or milk, salting to taste. Beat all well, pour into a
+deep dish, and bake in a quick oven until it is nicely browned. If
+properly mixed it will come out of the oven light, puffy and delectable.
+
+

+
+APPLE AND CELERY SALAD.
+
+MRS. R. M. STOCKING.
+
+    One day at the house of a charming friend,
+      From dishes of dainty blue,
+    I ate something good which puzzled me much,
+      The secret I'll tell to you.
+
+    2. "This looks like salad, my dear," said I,
+      "T'is celery surely I see,
+    And mayonnaise yellow and thick and rich,
+      What may this rare flavor be."
+
+    3. "A firm spicy apple," she said with a smile,
+      "Cut into pieces like dice--
+    I used equal parts, with celery white,
+      And my salad was made in a trice."

+
+SALAD DRESSING.
+
+One cup cream, one table spoon sugar, one dessert spoon mustard, one
+half dessert spoon of pepper and salt, one small onion sliced fine, a
+couple of radishes sliced, two hard boiled eggs. Crush the yolks into

+
+One cold chicken, one teaspoonful white pepper, one half head celery,
+one grain cayenne, yolks two eggs, one tablespoonful vinegar, one
+tablespoonful capers, one head of lettuce, one gill salad oil, one
+tablespoonful of cream, white of egg beaten to a stiff froth. Cut the
+chicken into small square pieces and remove the skin. The celery should
+be well washed and also cut into pieces of a similar size. Put into a
+bowl the yolks of eggs, drop into this drop by drop, the oil, and beat
+them together, the mixture should resemble thick cream, add the vinegar.
+Put the chicken and celery together in a salad bowl and pour over the
+compound, sprinkle on also pepper and salt and cayenne; mix all
+thoroughly together with a fork. Arrange the lettuce around the edge of
+the salad bowl, sprinkle the capers over the top and garnish the centre

+
+LETTUCE CHICKEN SALAD.
+
+MRS. DUNCAN LAURIE.
+
+Having skinned a pair of cold chickens, either mince or divide into
+small threads. Mix with it a little smoked tongue or cold ham, grated
+rather than chopped. Have ready one or two fine fresh lettuces, washed,
+drained and cut small. Put the cut lettuce in a bowl, place upon it the
+minced chicken in a close heap in the centre. For the dressing: the
+yolks of four eggs well beaten, a teaspoon of white sugar, a little
+cayenne, no salt: if you have ham or tongue with the chicken two
+teaspoonfuls of made mustard, two tables of vinegar, and four tables of
+salad oil. Stir this mixture well, put it into a small saucepan and let
+boil three minutes (not more), stirring it all the time, then set to
+cool, when quite cold cover with it thickly the heap of chicken in
+centre of salad. To ornament it have ready one half dozen hard boiled
+eggs, which after the shell is peeled off must be thrown directly into a
+pan of cold water to prevent discoloring. Cut each egg (white and yolk
+together) lengthways, into four large pieces of equal size and shape,
+lay the pieces upon the salad all round the heap of chicken in a
+slanting direction. Have ready also some red cold beet, cut in small
+cones of equal size, arrange them outside the circle of egg. This salad
+should be prepared immediately before dinner or supper. The colder it is
+the better.

+half cup vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix mustard and butter, then eggs
+well beaten, milk, stir well, add vinegar, boil gently till as thick as
+cream. Celery chopped up and added gives a nice flavor and crispness.
+If cooked in a double boiler it is less likely to burn. This does nicely
+with chicken or lamb.

+PIES.
+
+
+    "Who dare deny the truth, there's poetry in pie."--LONGFELLOW.
+
+
+"Ingenuity, good judgment and great care should be used in making all
+kinds of pastry. Use very cold water, and just as little as possible;
+roll thin and always from you; prick the bottom crust with a fork to
+prevent blistering; then brush it well with the white of egg, and
+sprinkle thick with granulated sugar. This will give you a firm rich
+crust.
+
+"For all kinds of fruit pies, prepare the bottom crust as above. Stew
+the fruit and sweeten to taste. If juicy put a good layer of corn-starch
+on top of the fruit before putting on the top crust. This will prevent
+the juice from running out, and will form a nice jelly throughout the
+pie. Be sure you have plenty of incisions in the top crust; then pinch
+it closely around the edge; sprinkle some granulated sugar on top, and
+bake in a moderate oven."

+FRIED CREAM.
+
+MRS. FARQUHARSON SMITH.
+
+Everyone should try this receipt; it will surprise many to know how soft
+cream could be enveloped in the crust while it is an exceedingly good
+dish for a dinner course or for lunch or tea. When the pudding is hard,
+it can be rolled in the egg and bread crumbs. The moment the egg touches
+the hot lard it hardens and secures the pudding which softens to a
+creamy substance very delicious. Ingredients, one pint of milk, five
+ounces of sugar (little more than half a cupful,) butter the size of a
+hickory nut, yolks of three eggs, two tablespoonfuls of corn starch, and
+one tablespoonful of flour, (a generous half cupful altogether), stick
+of cinnamon one inch long, one half teaspoonful of vanilla. Put the
+cinnamon into the milk and when it is just about to boil, stir in the
+sugar, cornstarch and flour, the two latter rubbed smooth with two or
+three tablespoons of extra cold milk: stir it over the fire for fully
+two minutes, to cook well the starch and flour; take it from the fire,
+stir in the beaten yolks of the eggs and return it a few minutes to set
+them; now again taking it from the fire remove the cinnamon, stir in the
+butter and vanilla and pour it on a buttered platter until one third of
+an inch high. When cold and stiff cut the pudding into parallelograms,
+about three inches long and two inches wide: roll them carefully, first
+in sifted cracker crumbs then in eggs (slightly beaten and sweetened)
+then again in cracker-crumbs. Dip these into boiling hot lard (a wire
+basket should be used if convenient) and when of fine color, take them
+out and place them in the oven for four or five minutes to better soften
+the pudding. Sprinkle over pulverized sugar and serve immediately.

+
+
+LEMON SPONGE.
+
+MISS BEEMER.
+
+One half box gelatine, juice of three lemons, one pint of cold water,
+one half pint of hot water, two teacups of sugar, whites of three eggs.
+Soak one-half box of gelatine in the pint of cold water ten minutes;
+then dissolve on the fire adding the juice of the lemons with the hot
+water and sugar. Boil all together two or three minutes; pour into a
+dish, and let it remain until nearly cold and beginning to set; then add
+the whites of eggs well beaten and whisk ten minutes. When it becomes
+the consistency of sponge, wet the inside of cups with the white of
+eggs, pour in the sponge and set in a cold place. Serve with thin
+custard, made with the yolks of four eggs, one tablespoonful of
+cornstarch, one-half teacup of sugar, one pint of milk, teaspoonful of

+moulds of the same size, and pour half your jelly into each. Stir into
+one mould half a cup of candied cherries, and into the other one pound
+of blanched almonds. The almonds will rise to the top. Let these moulds
+stand on ice, or in a cool place until thoroughly set, twenty-four hours
+is best. When ready to serve loosen the sides, and place the almond
+jelly on top the other, on a fruit platter. Slice down and serve with
+whipped cream.

+
+    "With weights and measures just and true,
+        Oven of even heat,
+     Well buttered tins and quiet nerves,
+        Success will be complete."
+
+
+"In making cake, the ingredients should be of the first quality--the
+flour super-fine, and always sifted; the butter fresh and sweet and not
+too much salted. Coffee A, or granulated sugar is best for cakes. Much
+care should be taken in breaking and separating the eggs, and equal care
+taken as regards their freshness. Break each egg separately in a teacup;
+then into the vessels in which they are to be beaten. Never use an egg
+when the white is the least discolored. Before beating the whites remove
+every particle of yolk. If any is allowed to remain, it will prevent
+them becoming as stiff and dry as required. Deep earthen bowls are best
+for mixing cake, and a wooden spoon or paddle is best for beating
+batter. Before commencing to make your cake, see that all the
+ingredients required are at hand. By so doing the work may be done in
+much less time.
+
+"The lightness of a cake depends not only upon the making, but the
+baking also. It is highly important to exercise judgment respecting the
+heat of the oven, which must be regulated according to the cake you
+bake, and the stove you use. Solid cake requires sufficient heat to
+cause it to rise and brown nicely without scorching. If it should brown
+too fast cover with thick brown paper. All light cakes require quick
+heat and are not good if baked in a cool oven. Those having molasses as
+an ingredient scorch more quickly, consequently should be baked in a
+moderate oven. Every cook should use her own judgment, and by frequent
+baking she will in a very short time be able to tell by the appearance
+of either bread or cake whether it is sufficiently done."

+CANNING FRUIT.
+
+MISS M. SAMPSON.
+
+To can strawberries, raspberries or plums: to each pound of sugar add
+one half pint of water, boil till you have a rich syrup, let stand till
+cold; have your jars packed full of raw fruit (not crushed) and fill
+with the cold syrup, put on the covers and screws, (not the rubber
+rings,) and place in cold water up to the neck of the jars, you will
+need straw or chips between the jars to prevent them touching each other
+or burning on the bottom, let the water boil for fifteen minutes, have
+some hot syrup to fill jars, put on rubber rings, screw up tightly and
+keep in a cool dark place.
+
+
+CANNED FRUIT JUICES.
+
+MRS. FARQUHARSON SMITH.
+
+Fruit juice may be kept for a long time by canning the same as whole
+fruit. They are convenient for water ices and summer beverages. Mash
+the fruit and rub the pulp through a fine sieve. Mix about three pounds
+of sugar with one quart of fruit juice and pulp. Fill Mason's jars with
+the syrup, cover and place in a heater with cold water to cover nearly
+to the top of the jar. Let the water boil half an hour, then fill each
+jar to the brim, seal and cool in the water.
+
+
+TO BRANDY PEACHES.
+
+To three pounds of sugar add a pint and a half water; boil and skim it;
+prepare eight pounds of ripe clingstone peaches: wash and rub with a
+coarse towel until all the down is off, then pierce them with a fork and
+throw them into the syrup and boil them until a sharp straw can
+punctuate them: as they soften put them into your jar, which must be
+kept closely covered. Boil your syrup until it thickens, while hot, add
+a quart of the best brandy and throw it over your peaches, tie the jar
+down closely.
+
+
+CURRANT JELLY.
+
+Currants should not be over ripe. Equal parts of red and white currants
+or currants and raspberries make a delicately colored and flavored
+jelly. Pick over and remove the leaves and poor fruit, and if filthy
+wash and drain them but do not stem them. Mash them in a porcelain
+kettle, with wooden pestle without heating as that makes the jelly dark.
+Let them drain in a flannel bag over night. _Do not_ squeeze them, or
+the jelly will be cloudy. In the morning measure a bowl of sugar for
+each bowl of juice, and heat the sugar carefully in an earthern dish in
+the oven. Stir it often to prevent burning: boil the juice twenty
+minutes and skim thoroughly. Add the hot sugar and boil from three to
+five minutes or till it thickens on a spoon when exposed to the air.
+Turn at once into glasses and let them remain in the sun several days
+then cover with paper dipped in brandy and paste paper over the tops of
+the glasses. One who is authority on this subject recommends covering
+with melted paraffine, or putting a lump of paraffine in the jelly while
+still hot. After draining the juice, the currants may be squeezed and a
+second quality of jelly made, it may not be clear but will answer for
+some purposes.

+let simmer until it thickens like honey. Put into jars, can be kept for
+years.
+
+
+PUMPKIN JAM.
+
+MRS. HENRY THOMSON.
+
+Peel and seed, then, cut into pieces two or three inches square, lay on
+a dish to dry till next day, then put into the preserving pan and barely
+cover with molasses. To a medium sized pumpkin put one ounce cloves and
+about a dessertspoon of ginger or as much as will taste; let it boil
+until the pumpkin is quite soft. One half dozen apples (sour) just cored
+not peeled is a great improvement. The molasses must only come to the
+top of your pieces, not nearly cover them.
+
+
+FRUIT JELLY.
+
+MRS. DUNCAN LAURIE.
+
+Dissolve two ounces of tartaric acid in one quart of cold water, pour it
+on to five pounds of strawberries, currants, or raspberries. Let it
+stand twenty-four hours. Then strain it without pressing or bruising the
+fruit. To every pint of clear juice add one and one half pounds of white
+sugar. Stir frequently till the sugar is dissolved. Then bottle and cork
+air tight. Keep in a cool, dark place. When required for use dissolve
+one ounce gelatine in one half pint boiling water, add one and one half
+pints syrup. Pour in a mould and set away to stiffen. Serve with whipped
+cream.
+
+
+GRAPE JELLY.
+
+MRS. GEORGE ELLIOTT.
+
+Mash the grapes in a preserving pan, put them over the fire and cook
+until thoroughly done. Strain through a jelly bag and to each pint of
+juice allow one pound of sugar. Boil the juice rapidly for ten minutes,
+add the sugar made hot in the pan in the oven, and boil rapidly three
+minutes more. Excellent.
+
+
+MARMALADE.
+
+MRS. FARQUHARSON SMITH.
+
+Cut the oranges in half and work in a spoon to remove the inside. Slice
+the peel very fine. Take the skin and seeds from the pulp and mix peel
+and pulp together and weigh them. For every pound of fruit, pour three
+pints of cold water over it and let stand twenty four hours. Boil till
+chips are tender (about an hour and a half). This absorbs a great deal
+of the fluid. Let it stand another twenty-four hours. To every pound of
+boiled fruit, put one and one quarter pounds of sugar. Boil till syrup
+jellies, and chips are transparent. Boil pippins and skins in a gallon
+of water, and strain.
+
+
+BITTER ORANGE MARMALADE.
+
+MRS. R. STEWART.
+
+One dozen bitter oranges, three sweet oranges, three lemons. Slice or
+shave the bitter oranges and lemons _very thin_ laying aside the pips
+in a bowl; pare or slice the sweet oranges. To every pint of fruit add
+four pints cold water, cover the pips with water, let stand for
+twenty-four hours, boil till quite tender putting the pips in a muslin
+bag when ready: to every pound of fruit add one and one half pounds
+white sugar and boil till it jellies, from twenty to thirty minutes.
+
+
+CURRANT MARMALADE.
+
+MRS. W. W. HENRY.
+
+Seven pounds of currants, six pounds of sugar, two pounds of raisins,
+two oranges. Cook one and one half hours. Strain out the juice of
+currants, seed the raisins, and chop fine. Use all of the orange but the
+seeds, chop fine.
+
+
+RHUBARB MARMALADE.
+
+MRS. THEOPHILUS OLIVER.
+
+Peel and cut the rhubarb into small pieces, take the rind of one lemon,
+cut into chips; to each two pounds of the rhubarb then weigh three
+quarters of a pound of white sugar to each pound of the fruit. Put the
+fruit and sugar in a basin in layers and let it stand all night. Pour
+off the syrup and boil it for twenty minutes, add the fruit and boil for
+twenty minutes more, when the marmalade should be ready to put in pots.
+
+
+PRESERVED RAW PINEAPPLE.
+
+MRS. W. COOK.
+
+Pare the pineapples and take out all the eyes. With a sharp knife, cut
+the pineapple in thin slices cutting down sides until the heart is
+reached, this is to be discarded. Weigh the sliced pineapple and put in
+a large earthen dish. Add to it as many pounds of granulated sugar as
+there are pounds of fruit and stir well. Pack this mixture in quart or
+pint jars: cover tightly and put away. The pineapple will keep a year or
+more and be perfectly tender and fine flavored. It is best to choose
+fruit not over ripe.
+
+
+PRESERVED TOMATOES. (Original).
+
+MRS. E. A. PFEIFFER.
+
+Take two gallons large smooth green tomatoes, make a pickle of three
+pints of vinegar, and one quart of water, two tablespoons salt, one
+tablespoon each, spice, cloves and cinnamon, one pound of sugar: scald
+spices ten minutes in vinegar and water, then add tomatoes and scald
+till tender, slice for table, pour sauce over. N. B. Strain spices, over
+the tomatoes, and seal while warm; some prefer without salt.
+
+
+TO PRESERVE TOMATOES FOR WINTER USE.
+
+MRS. ERNEST F. WURTELE.
+
+To fifteen pounds tomatoes, put three ounces of white sugar, and three
+ounces of salt, boil very hard for twenty minutes. Fill up pint jars to
+overflowing and screw down tight; as they cool off, screw them again so
+as to be sure they are quite tight. This quantity fills ten pint jars.
+Skin the tomatoes before boiling, this is quickly done by pouring
+boiling water over them.
+
+
+
+
+BEVERAGES.
+

+drops of cassia. Put the above ingredients into a crock that will hold
+two gallons of boiling water; one pound of brown sugar to be burnt in a
+pan till it is the color of coffee, then add to it the other
+ingredients. The boiling water is the last thing to be poured on the
+ingredients. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. When cold, bottle, cork
+tight and put away for use. The burnt sugar gives it a pretty colour.
+
+
+GINGER CORDIAL.
+
+MRS. ERSKINE SCOTT.
+
+Ten lemons, one gallon of whisky, six ounces of root ginger, (to be
+bruised) and put with the whiskey on the lemons, after cutting them up
+in slices, and left for three weeks. Then take five pounds of white
+sugar, and pour over it three pints of boiling water, and put on the
+fire until it is melted. When it is cold, pour over the lemons, having
+first strained them, bottle and cork tight.
+
+

+
+MRS. GEORGE LAWRENCE.
+
+To ten pounds grapes (Concord), two pounds white sugar, wash grapes,
+cover them with water in preserving kettle, and boil for thirty

+year without any fermentation. Original.
+
+
+GRAPE JUICE.
+
+MRS. J. MACNAUGHTON.
+
+Pick over and wash your grapes. Concords are said to be preferable. Put
+them in your porcelain kettle with just enough water to prevent
+sticking. When the skins crack remove from fire, pour into a flannel
+bag, not more than a quart at once, and press out the juice. Add nearly
+half as much sugar as juice and return to the kettle. When the sugar is
+all dissolved and the juice boiling, pour into cans and seal. Pint cans
+are preferable; when opened this can be diluted with water to suit the
+taste, and will keep perfectly sweet for several days if kept in a cool
+place.
+
+
+RASPBERRY ACID.
+
+MRS. GEORGE M. CRAIG.
+
+Dissolve five ounces of tartaric acid in two quarts of water, pour it on
+twelve pounds of red raspberries in a large bowl, let it stand
+twenty-four hours, strain it without pressing: to a pint of this liquor,
+add one and a half pounds of white sugar, stir until dissolved, bottle
+but do not cork for several days, when it is ready for use two or three
+tablespoons in a glass of ice water will make a delicious drink.
+
+
+RASPBERRY VINEGAR.
+
+MRS. STUART OLIVER.
+

+
+MRS. THOM.
+
+One pound powdered frosting sugar, one quarter pound tartaric acid, one
+quarter pound carbonate of soda, forty drops essence of lemon. Add the

+MRS. FARQUHARSON SMITH.
+
+Two ounces citric acid, one ounce tartaric acid, one half ounce epsom
+salts, five pounds white sugar. Grate the rind of three lemons, juice of

+
+MRS. W. COOK.
+
+One pound lean beef and one pound veal, cut up small, and put in a wide
+mouthed jar. Pour two wineglasses of cold water or wine on it, one
+teaspoon salt, and a little mace if liked. Cork the jar well and tie a
+bladder over it. Place the jar in a deep saucepan of cold water which
+must not be allowed to cover the cork. Let it boil slowly four hours or
+more and strain through a sieve. One tablespoonful of this is equal to a
+cup of ordinary beef tea.

+
+
+FRENCH ROLLS OR TWISTS.
+
+MISS LAMPSON.
+
+One quart of milk, one teaspoonful of salt, one small cup brewer's
+yeast, flour enough to make a stiff batter. Let it rise, and when very
+light, work in one egg and two spoonfuls of butter, and knead in flour

+POP OVERS.
+
+MRS. FARQUHARSON SMITH.
+
+A breakfast cup of flour, a cup of milk, three eggs and a pinch of salt:
+beat the eggs very well, add them to the milk and beat in the flour;
+the mixture ought to be the consistency of good custard. Butter the
+moulds very well before putting in the batter; don't put more than a
+tablespoonful in each. The oven should be very hot and the pop-overs
+will only take ten minutes to bake.
+
+
+POP OVERS.

+
+
+SHORTBREAD.
+
+MRS. W. REID.
+
+Place on a bake-board two pounds of sifted flour, one pound butter (if
+salt, wash,) and half a pound of sugar; this quantity will make four
+cakes. Knead all altogether and when well mixed form into cakes half an
+inch thick, pinch round the edge, and probe all over with a fork, place
+some confits in the centre, then a sheet of stiff paper under each cake,
+place on the baking sheet and bake in an oven of moderate heat.
+
+
+ALMOND SHORTBREAD.
+
+MRS. W. COOK.
+
+One pound ground sweet almonds, eight ounces sugar, eight ounces sifted
+flour, eight ounces good butter. The yolks of eight eggs, about eight
+drops of essence of ratafia. First see that the ground almonds are
+fresh. Mix them with the flour and sugar and then very, very carefully
+add a few drops of ratafia. Mix everything thoroughly. Make a space in
+centre, and in this drop the yolks of the eggs. Then melt the butter,
+add that and mix up the whole together until it is a nice firm stiff
+paste. This should now be rolled a great many times; cannot be rolled
+too much. When sufficiently rolled to appear like a strip of cream
+coloured satin a quarter of an inch thick, cut in small squares with a
+sharp knife. Pinch the edges of each square and in centre of each cake,
+put a split half of blanched almond. Butter baking tins and bake in a
+moderate oven to a fine pale yellow tint. These are delicious and are
+particularly good in summer eaten with fruit.
+
+
+SCOTCH SHORT BREAD.
+
+MRS. BLAIR.
+
+One pound of flour, one half pound butter, six ounces sugar; cream
+butter and sugar, add flour. Roll into a smooth ball and work down until
+half an inch in thickness, an operation which is rather difficult for a
+novice, as it is apt to crack at the edges; but the knack is soon
+learned, and the more it is worked the better. Prick with a small
+skewer, strew with large carraway comfits, and bake slowly, a pale
+brown.
+
+
+BANANA FRITTERS.
+
+MRS. GEORGE ELLIOTT.

+lemon juice over them, also a little sifted sugar.
+
+
+APPLE FRITTERS.
+
+MRS. HARRY LAURIE.
+
+Three tart apples, two eggs; one cup milk; one teaspoonful salt; about
+one and one half cups of flour; one teaspoonful baking powder. Pare
+and core the apples; cut them into rings; dust with sugar and cinnamon;
+stand aside to use. Beat eggs without separating until light; add milk,
+salt and sufficient flour to make a soft batter; beat well and add the
+baking powder; beat again; Have ready very hot a deep pan of lard, dip
+each ring of apple in the batter, drop it in the fat and fry until
+brown. Serve hot, dusted with powdered sugar.
+
+
+FRENCH PANCAKES.
+
+MRS. BENSON BENNETT.
+
+Four eggs, weight of four eggs in butter, sugar and flour, one half a
+teaspoonful of soda, one half teaspoonful of cream of tartar. As much
+milk as will make a batter. Beat the butter and sugar to a cream, add
+the four eggs well beaten stir in all the other ingredients. Bake in tin
+plates.
+
+
+SCOTCH HAGGIS.
+
+MRS. ANDREW T. LOVE.
+
+Boil a sheep's draught for three quarters of an hour in as much water as
+will cover it. Grate down the liver and mince the heart and lights very
+fine. Mince two pounds of onions, and two pounds of beef suet, put in
+three or four handsful of oatmeal with pepper and salt to taste. Having
+these ingredients very well mixed, put them into the bag with a little
+of the boilings of the draught. Pick the bag well to prevent its
+bursting. It requires from three to four hours boiling, so if you make
+it a day or two before you intend using it, it is better to boil it
+two hours after it is made, and two hours when going to use it. Great
+care must be taken in having the bag very particularly scraped and
+cleansed by frequent washings in salt and water. The liver and heart,
+etc., are better, to be boiled before, then they can be grated down
+easily. Half of this receipt makes a very good sized Haggis.

+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works

+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax

+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free

+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from

+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at

+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:

+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
