Sr Culinary. —— Te keep pudding sauce warm if pre- pared too long before dinner is served set the basin containing it in a pan or pail of boiling water ; do not let the water boil after the sauce-dish is set in it, but keep it hot. : In place of any known preparation sold under the name of ‘baby powder,’ use some fine starch, Put a few lumps in a eup and pour over it enough cool water to dissolve it. After you are sure it is dissolved let it stand until the starch has all settled and the water is clear ; then turn the water off. Let the starch dry, and then powder it and put it in a soft muslin bag, through which it will sift out. This is very healing, and answers admirably any purpose the powder is supposed to do. An Indian pudding made after this recipe, although unlike the Indian pud- ding of our fathers, is delicious: Take four eggs, and the weight of three of them in meal, half a pound of sugar and a quarter of a pound of butter, and the juice and grated rind of one lemon. Beat the sugar and butter to- gether till light, then break the eggs in the dish with them and beat briskly ; then stir in the meal. Bake in a quick oven; serve in saucers, and pour over it some thin jelly or jam or wine sauce. BARKED SArLmMoN Trour.—Clean thoroughly, wipe carefully and lay in a dripping-pan with hot water enough to prevent scorching ; bake slowly, bast- ing often with butter and water. When done, have ready a cupful of sweet cream, into which a few spoonfuls of hot water have been poured; stir in two tablespoonfuls of melted butter and a little chopped paisley and heat in a vessel of boiling water; add the gravy from the dish, and boil up once. Place the fish in a hot dish and pour over the sauce, Exerisa CArRroT PUDDING.— One pound of grated carrots, three-fourths of a pound of chopped suet, a half- pound each of raisins and currants, four tablespoonfuls of sugar, eight tablespoonfuls of flour, and spices ‘to suit the taste, Boil four hours, place in the oven for twenty minutes and serve with wine sauce. PoTATO0 SALAD.—Two tablespoon- fuls of mustard, four of vinegar, four of salad oil or melted butter, a little salt and pepper. Mix the oil and mustard and then add the vinegar, Add a small onion chopped fine and half a dozen cold potatoes chopped ; also a hard boiled egg. Mix all well to- gether. It is an excellent relish for oold meats, BRAISED Riss or BEEF wIiTH MAcArONI.— Bone and roll the ribs of beef, and braise with white wine : when cooked remove the beef, pass the sauce through a tammy, skim off all fat, pour into a sauceboat, and add the remaining half to some boiled maca- roni ; season with salt, pepper, a lump of fresh butter, and grated Parmesan or gruyere cheese ; place on a dish and lay the ribs of beef on it. HARICOT BEANS A LA BRETONNE. — Mince half a pound of onions, blanch and drain. Brown in five ounces of butter, and when a good color add an ounce of flour, some salt and pepper : leave on the fire for five minutes: moisten with a pint and a half of stock, and cook for twenty minutes, stirring all the time ; then add a pint of haricot beans, which have been well boiled, and an ounce of butter ; warm and serve, Scarrorep Havmsur or Cop,— Take cold flakes of halibut or cod, the day after they are boiled, and place a layer of them in a yellow nappy or a pudding-dish, seasoned well with salt and pepper, and a very little chopped onion or parsley. Place over them a layer of breadcrumbs and add bits of butter to them. Fill up the dish in this manner, having the upp layer of bread-crumbs and butter. At one side of the dish turn in four or five table- spoonfuls of new milk, and bake until well browned in a hot oven. Thirty minutes will usually cook it suffs ciently. Ruauveare Pres.—A rhubarb pie is not a work of art, but it should be a work of time, for it is much better if baked slowly, unless the rhubarb is stewed before filling the plates. Great care should be used in pressing the crusts together, but in truth rhubarb pies, like all others, are better if the lower crust be baked separately. Very nice tarts may be made by mixing a pint of stewed rhubarb with a mixture of four ounces of sugar, a pint of cream, two ounces of powdered eracker and three eggs. Beat these together and mix them with the rhubarb just be- fore filling the plate in which the crust has been baked. Cover with crosswise strips of paste and bake slowly, George J. Romanes, in a recent lec- ture in Manchester, told of the benevo- lence of a cat. A hungry and misera- bly thin stranger cat came into his gar- den, and Tabby was observed some of her own meal to the wanderer, Soon, seeing that the hungry cat was not yet satisfied, Tabby went and brought out a new supply of meat, which the stranger seemed to accept with every evidence of gratitude, Domestic Economy. San MiNvuTE Biscuir.—One pint of sour or buttermilk, one teaspoonful soda, two teaspoonfuls melted butter. Flour to make soft dough—just stiff enough to handle—mix, roll and cut rapidly, with as little handling as may be, and bake in & quick oven, BAKED WHeAT. Cracked wheat is a very nice dish if baked with plenty of water added from time to time as it is needed, to allow the wheat to expand. It should bake slowly for from five to six hours, and it will then be found to be remarkably sweet and wholesome, It is delicious if baked with milk in- stead of water, but will then need more attention when in the oven to prevent scorching. BAkeDp Eaas.— Ire: 1 tit or seven eggs into a buttered dish, taking care that each is whole and does not encroach upon the others so much as to mix or disturb the yelks. Sprinkle with pepper and salt, and put a bit of butter upon each, Put into an oven and bake until the whites are well set. Serve very hot, with rounds of, buttered toast or sand- wiches. FreExca Purrs.—A pint of sweet milk,six ounces of flour, four eggs, half a saltspoon of salt ; scald the milk and pour over the flour, beat until smooth, whisk the eggs to a froth and add to the flour and milk when sufficiently cool. Have ready a kettle of boiling lard, and drop one teaspoonful of batter at a time into the lard, and fry a light brown: sift white sugar over them, or eat with syrup. DEsserT.—Make a batter as if for waflles ; to one pint of milk allow two eggs and enough flour to thicken ; one teaspoonful of baking powder should be stirred into the flour. Fill a sufficient number of teacups with this and fruit in layers. Then set the cups in the steamer and let the water boil under- neath it for a full hour, Serve while hot with sugar and cream. Any jam is nice for this, or raw apples chopped fine, VEAL CUTLETS A LA MILARAIRE, — Brown some veal' cutlets quickly in hot lard ; then take them out the pan and thicken the hot lard with flour: stir until the flour browns; then pour in sufficient water to make the gravy the consistency of cream. Fry some finely minced onion in butter ; then add it to the gravy. Putin the veal cutlets and place round them about six sliced tomatoes. Season to taste, Simmer gent- ly about two hours or until the cutlets are tender, CoCOANUT Pie. —Open the eyes of a cocoanut with a pointed knife or gimlet, and pour out the milk into a cup ; then break the shell and take out the meat and grate it fine, Take the same weight of sugar and the grated nut and stir to- gether ; beat four eggs, the whites and yolks separately, to a stiff foam ;: mix one cup of cream, and the milk of the cocoanut with the sugar and nut, ther add the eggs and a few drops of orange or lemon extract. Line deep pie tins with a nice crust, fill them with the custard, and bake carefully half an hour. CrEAM PUurrs.—Melt half a cup of butter in one cup of hot water, and, while boiling, beat in one eup of flour : then take off the steve and cool ; when cool, stir in three eggs, one at a time, without beating ; drop on tins quickly and bake about twenty-five minutes in a moderate oven. For the cream : Half pint of milk, one egg, three table- spoons of sugar, two large tablespoons of flour ; boil same as any mock cream and flavor with lemon. When baked, open the side of each puff and fill with cream, Tie CoMMODORE'S CHOWDER. Take four tablespoons of chopped onions that have been fried with slices of salt pork, two pilot biscuits broken up, one fablespoonful minced sweet marjoram and one of sweet basil, one-fourth bot- tle of catsup, half a bottle of port wine, half a grated nutmeg, a few cloves and peppercorns, six pounds ef fresh cod and sea-bass cut in slices ; put all in a pot, with water enough to cover it about an inch ; boil it steadily for an hour ; stirring it carefully, Serve hot in a large, deep dish, I —— Origin of Popular Phrases, “Devil take the hindmost."’— This far more expressive than elegant say- ing occurs originally in Beaumont and Fletcher's play of “Bonduca.” It also occurs in Butler's “Hudibras,” Prior's “Ode on Taking Nemur,” Pope's “Dunciad,”” and in the poem “To a Haggis,” by Robert Burns, ‘“Enough is as good as a feast,’ — One of the oldest of all the popular say- ings in use, It has been traced as far back as 1433 occurring in a book enti- tled ‘Dives and Pauper,’ published in that year. It is also found in Gas coigne’s ‘‘ Memories, ” 1578, Ray's “Proverbs,” Gielding’s “Covert Garden Tragedy,’ and Bickerstafl’s “Love ina Village.” & “As good as a play.”’—An exclama- tion of Charles 11. when in Parliament attending the discussion of Lord Ross’ divorce bill, Macaulay, in his review of the lifeand writings of Sir William Temple, refers to the saying as follows : “The King remained in the House of Peers while his speech was taken into consideration —a commen practice with him ; for the debates amused his sated mind, and were sometimes, he used to say, as good as a comedy, ”’ “*Rebellion to tyrants is obedience te God.”— From an inscription on the cannon near which the ashes of Presi- dent John Bradshaw were lodged, on the top of a hill near Martha Bay, in Jamaica, Randall, in his ‘Life of Jefferson,” has this to say of the quota tion in question: *““This suppositious epitaph was found among the papers of Mr. Jefferson, in his handwriting.

On account of the solemn grandeur of the ideas which it brings to the mind, a8 well as the deep and trembling eme- tions it is fitted to excite, it soon found its way into the liturgy of the Church. The authorship of the hymn hs been ascribed to Gregory the Great : 8 Bernard, of Clairvanx ; Umbertus, a1 d Frangipani, the last two of whom were noted as Church hymnists; bat in all probability it proceeded from the pen of the Franciscan, Thomas of Celano. a native of the Abrazzi, in the Kingdom of Naples, who died about the year 1257, When the Church adopted it, and made it a portion of the service of the mass eannot be entertained with any exact- ness, but it must have been in any case before 1385, Several alterations were then made in the text ; that, however, is believed to be the original which is engraved on marble tablet in Church of St. Francis at Mantua. Ger- many has produced many translations of the hymn, such as those of Schlege! Fichte and Runsen. It was translated into English by Richard Cranshaw. in the seventeenth century, and by Lord Macaulay, Lord Lindsay, the Isaac Williams, of Woodford, others in our own day.

As to the question of abiliity to manage a newspaper, Miss Booth, who is both managing editor and leading editorial writer of Harper's Bazaar, and who has made that journal the brilliant success which it is, has clearly demonstrated that it is not a matter of sex.

The lawyers dropped their pens, the spec. tators stared, the Judge looked pizzied, The Tobacco Crop. Be While there will be some fine tobacco this year, it is useless to disguise the fact that much of the tobacco from present indications will not come up to the expectations of the growers ; especi- ally is this the case where it was plant- ed on low land. Bome farmers have very fine crops with large leaves and report it equal to any they have ever raised, but while this is the case in a number of instances, there are many others whose plants are small and have not made that rapid growth that was anticipated, We noticed a day or two since, while passing through a portion of Lancaster county that about the same state of affairs existed in that county, and ‘besides this considerable was damaged by hail in that section.

A general mistake in hanging tobacco is in the neglect to carefully examine each plant as it is passed up, for green worms ; but then there is not a stage in tobacco culture that this care is not equally necessary. Cigar leaf is to be hung but two or three tiers high, and so that when wilted there will be free circulation of air around each plant. In wet seasons like that of 1882, this is especially necessary to induce regular and free evaporation of sap with which stems and stalk were 80 fully charged. It is best that in hanging Seed Leaf and Domestic Ha- vana not to split the stalks, as the dry out will be too rapid. This may be more objectionable in dry seasons, The more experienced growers of Domestic Havana recommend lath or poles with eight penny nails driven in about eight inches apart on which to hang the to- bacco, the lath or lighter poles to set about the same distance apart, thus giv- ing plenty of air tocarry off the moisture, curing up the large, juicy stems, as well as the fat green stems and any unripe Jeaf that may have been cut, and checks the tendency of the heavier stems to soften and rot. If desirable, the lath may be placed closer together afetr the curing is well under way.
