THE HOUSEWIFE’S CORNER

To Our Lady Friends : RECIPIES. Manchester Pudding—3 ozs. of grated bread j A- a piut of milk ; a strip of lemon peel; 4 eggs ; 2 ozs. butter, sugar to taste ; pulf paste ; jam. Flavour the milk with lemon peel by infusing it in the milk for half an hour ; then strain it on to the bread crumbs, and boil it for 2 or 3 minutes ; add the eggs (leaving out the whites of 2), the butter and sugar, stir all these ingredients well together, cover a pie-dish with puff paste, and at the bottom put a thick layer of jam, pour the above mixture cold on the jam, and bake the pudding for 1 hour. Spies Cakes. —Beat half a cupful of butter to a cream, add gradually a cupful of granulated sugar, add two eggs well beaten, a teaspoonful of cinnamon, half a teaspoonful of cloves, and the same of allspice, one cupful of good strong coffee. Sift three cupsful of flour with two teaspoonsful of baking powder. Add a little coffee and a little flour until you have the whole thoroughly mixed, then stir in enough flour to make a soft dough. Roll, cut and bake carefully. Snowdrift.—Dissolve half an oz. of gelatine in half a pint of water. Add half a lb. of white sugar, the juice of 4 lemons, and let it boil about ten minutes. Strain and set it aside till it is cold, and begins to thicken, then add the well beaten whites of eggs ; whisk briskly till it is very light and spongy. Heap it up in a glass dish, and set it in a very cold place, on ice if possible. HINTS FOR THE HOUSE. To clean white shoes, get a box of camphorated chalk, mix it as required, with milk, and apply with a flannel. | When curling the hair with irons have two sets, and heat them in a vessel of water kept at boiling point, thus avoiding the risk of singeing and dirtying the hair. For a cold you should put the juice of two lemons, two tablespoonsful of honey, and a tiny piece of butter into a tumbler. Fill the glass with very hot water, and drink as hot as possible directly after getting into bed. SELECTIONS. Liberty of speeoh is good, liberty of action better, but liberty of thought best of all; for the worst of all shackles are those rivetted into the soul. — Balfour. Shame that any should have been found to speak lightly of liberty, whose worth is so testified—whose benefits are so numerous and so rich' Moralists have praised it, poets sung it, the Gospel has taught and breathed it, patriots and martyrs have died for it. — Dr. A. Tiiomas. s Tia liberty alone that gives the flower of fleeting life its lustre and perfume ; and we are weeds without it.—COVTI'ER.
