T HE Egg Bread. —Beat four eggs very light, and stir into a pint of sweet or sour milk with a little soda in it; mix in a large spoonful of butter. Over a j quart of silted meal pour enough hot water to scald it, stirring it to a stiff, smooth mass. Mix this into the milk, beat it well, and bake it in a pan or muffin ring's. Very good bread can : be made by the above recipe, without eggs, if s-xia and sour milk be used. ! A Good pudding. —To eight tables- ' poonfuls of water add the juice and rind of one lemon, quarter of a pound ol sugar, quarter of a pound of butter, the yelks of four eggs and the whites i beaten to a froth. Bake it for one hour in u slow oven. | Brighton Pudding. —Take three eggs, quarter of a pound of sugar, quarter of a pound of llour, quarter of a pound ol butter, and the peel of a lemon finely minced. Beat the sugar and eggs for ; twenty minutes. Oil the butter and mix it atid the flour in at the last, i Steam the pudding for one hour. Serve without sauce, only with preserves. Sweet Soujfle. —Take a pint of milk and as much flour as will come to a thick paste over the stove; keep stirring j it all the time; add six yelks of eggs j and a pinch of salt, as much sugar as j you like. Beat eight whites of eggs all to a froth; stir them all together. To be put into the oven a quarter of j an hour before wanting it; the oven < must be quick. Glaze it with white | sugar, and send quickly to table. It may bo made with ground rice. The . rind of a lemon, grated, or lemon-juice gives it a nice flavor. ! Lemon Sauce. —Make some melted ; .butter with water instead of milk; then put in two ounces of sugar, the juice and shreu rind of half a lemon, and the other half freed from its skin, sliced thin, and each slice cut into quarters; give it a boil up, and serve. Lemon Custard T irt. —Squeeze juice of the two lemons upon half a pound j of loaf sugar ; then pare the rind as 1 thin as possible, and put it with the sugar. Boil the rest of the lemons in a good deal of water until quite tender; j beat and rub them through a sievo; i add them to the other ingredients;l pour in half a pint of white wine; let ; it simmer by the fire for an hour; then ; gradually mix it with the beaten yelks j of four eggs and the whites of two; j strain it into a tart-dish edged with a rim of puff-paste, and bake for twenty j minutes. Tea Cakes. —Half a pound of flour, two ounces of sugar, two ounces of butter, two eggs. Mix all together, and bake. Trafalgar Cakes. —Mix a pound ol I well-dried flour with six ounces of finely pounded sugar; beat six ounces of butter to a cream, and stir in halfa pound of currants, well cleaned and i dried, and three eggs, well beaten; then add the flour and sugar, and beat for some time Flour some tins, and drop a tablespoonful upon them; then ! bake as usual.— Godey's Lady's Book. Sundry Useful Receipts —A hot shovel held over varnished furniture will take out white spots. A bit of glue dissolved in skim milk and water will restore old crape. Ribbons of any kind should be washed in cold soap suds and not rinsed. Tfyour flat irons are rough, rub them well with fine salt, and it will make them smooth. Oat straw is the best for filling beds. It should be changed once a year. If you are buying a carpet for durability, j choose small figures. A bit of soap rubbed on the hinges of doors will prevent their creaking. Wood ashes and common salt, wet with water, will stop the cracks of a stove, and prevent the smoke from escaping. A gallon of strong lye put in a barrel of water, will make it as soft as rain water. Half a cranberry bound on a corn will ! kill it. In the winter, set the handle of your! pump as high as possible at night, or throw a blanket over it. Make your own Neats-foot Oil.—A correspondent of the Germantown Telegraph tells what they do with beeves' legs in bis family : •The hoofs are chopped"off, and boiled | thoroughly. From the surface of this 1 boiled mass, about one pint of pure Jicats-foot oil is skimmed, which is un surpassed by any other oleaginous matter for harness, shoes, Ac. After the oil is taken off, the water is strained to separate from it any fatty particles that may remain, and then it is boiled again, until upon trying, it is found it will settle into a stiff jelly. It is then poured into flat-bottomed dishes, and when cold cut into suitable sized pieces. It hardens in a few days, and you will then have a very fine article of glue, free from impurities of every kind, sufficient for family use for a twelve-month. •By taking a portion of this glutin ous substance before it becomes too thick, and brusing it over pieces of silk, you will have just as much Court-1 plaster as you desire, inodorous, tenac ious, and entirely free from those pois onous qualities which cause (as much of the article sold by apothecaries does) inflamation, when applied to scratches, cuts, and^sores.' ♦ HARDWARE.
