THE BUBAL filEW-YOBKEB.

be made by any blacksmith. They should be 
at least a foot long and quite broad in the 
gripping part, which should be curved to a 
slight angle. With these you can lift your 
frying-pan without fear of a burn. A granite 
water pitcher, and another for milk, with a 
ladle, and a long-handled kitchen spoon and 
fork will about complete your outfit. It is a 
great mistake to burden j ourself with too 
much. Let it be a question rather of how 
much you can get along without, than of how 
much you can take with you. Of course you 
will further victual your camp with such 
luxuries in the way of canned meats and fruits 
as the exigencies of the case are likely to de¬ 
mand. 
Wash the dishes immediately after each 
meal. These rules are for such as do not take 
a chef along. Heat a kettle of water while 
you are eating; fill the frying-pan with water, 
if it has been used, and let it boil over the 
coals at the same time. Do not allow the 
camp to take on any of the objectionable 
features of a gypsy encampment, or of a 
dumping ground for city garbage, by an ac¬ 
cumulation of old cans, bones and feathers, 
but carry all such refuse “ without your 
gates.” If ladies are to be of the party, thase 
latter directions are unnecessary. 
And now, let me whisper a word to the 
ladies right hero. Camping out is largely re 
garded as a masculine prerogative,and as such 
is almost as zealously guarded as their ballot- 
box, “pick-me-ups,” late hours, and a few 
privileges of that ilk, supposed to belong sole¬ 
ly to the lords of creation. I have heard them 
declare that ladies in a camping party meant 
abject slavery for the unhappy wight who had 
been beguiled into acting as escort,and one de¬ 
jected youth returning from such an excur¬ 
sion was heard to declare that he had never 
worked so hard in his life, and hinted darkly 
that the fate of a galley slave was bliss in 
comparison. 
The obvious moral of this is that you are to 
make yourselves bonnes cainarudes ; be as 
indispensable to their pleasure as you are in 
your drawing-rooms, and as necessary to their 
comfort as you are in your kitchens and 
dining-rooms. 
Be prepared to find your way to his manly 
heart, since that way lies through his stomach, 
by preparing such simple and palatable dishes 
as are consistent with the materials and para¬ 
phernalia of comfortable camping. 
Soups are excellent and invigorating, and 
should be indulged in whenever the materials 
are at hand. An excellent soup can be made 
of rabbits, squirrels or any small game. Skin 
and joint one or more and crack the bones well; 
add a sliced onion, a slice or two of pork, and 
such herbs as your camp affords. Cover with 
cold water, fit with a tight cover and stew for 
four hours. Skim off the fat, season well, take 
out the coarse bones, and dish over slices of 
toast. 
If you have among you a disciple of Isaak 
Walton, and there is any fishing in your vicin¬ 
ity, you will want a fish chowder. Clean and 
cut up the fish, leaving out the heads, tails and 
as many bones as possible. Cover the bottom 
of the pot with a layer of fat salt pork ; over 
that a layer of sliced potatoes, then of chopped 
onions, then of fish and lastly of crackers 
Repeat the layers, omittiug the pork, until the 
pot is nearly full, seasoning each layer with 
salt and pepper. Add enough cold water to 
just cover, and simmer gently for one hour. 
Brunswick stew is a famous dish for out-of- 
door dining, if you can obtain the necessary 
vegetables from some adjacent farmer. Cut 
two squirrels into joints and lay in cold water 
to draw out the blood ; put on in a gallon of 
water and cook for five miuutes after the boil¬ 
ing-point is reached ; add one tablespoonful of 
salt, six potatoes and one onion sliced ; one 
pint of butter or Lima beaus, six ears of green 
corn cut from the cob, half a pound of salt pork 
cut into strips, a teaspoouful of black pepper 
and a quarter as much Cayenne. Stew 
two hours and a half, very slowly, and 
stir frequently to prevent burning. Add one 
quart of tomatoes, and a tablespoonful of 
sugar ; stew an hour longer, add a quarter of a 
pound of butter cut in bits and rolled in flour; 
give a final boil, and let your reward be the 
satisfaction of those who partake of the feast 
you have provided. 
ROAST VENISON. 
Of course you will first “ catch your deer,” 
but having been fortunate enough to do so, it 
is well to know that the saddle is the best for 
roasting, and after that the shoulder. Hang 
by a cord over a huge bed of coals, or impale 
it on the cross-piece. Insert thin slices of salt 
pork or bacon in gashes, cut with a knife, 
where the flesh is thick enough to admit of 
gashing, or skewer them with hard wood 
twigs, where it is not. Turn frequently, and 
roast from two to three hours. If you can 
mauage to cover the surface with sheets of 
buttered paper skewered on, it will proYtJilt 
the outside from becoming hard, 
A nice sauce for any kind of meat or game, 
and one which you can easily compass, is 
made by mixing the juice of a lemon, three 
tablespoonfuls of tomato catsup, three of 
sugar, and a teaspoonful of made mustard. 
Heat to the boiling point and use hot. 
CAMP FLAPJACKS. 
Mix a quart of flour in a deep dish with a 
half teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of 
baking-powder, and one of sugar. Add 
warm water or milk to make a thick batter 
and two beaten eggs. Beat thoroughly and 
bake at once. 
You can make a Welsh Rarebit, if you have 
brought cheese. Toast the bread, butter it, 
and pour over some cheese melted in a fry¬ 
ing-pan, or after toasting the bread slightly 
and buttering it, lay on thick slices of cheese, 
and broil over the coals. Spread over the top 
of either a seasoning of made mustard and 
pepper. 
You may even manage a batter, fruit or 
plum-pudding, of which want of space forbids 
me to mention the details.

TO MAKE A POULTICE. 
There are so many people who cannot 
make a poultice, that Dr. Abernethy’s 
method may be serviceable : Scald a basin, 
put in coarsely crumbled bread, and pour over 
it boiling water. When it has soaked up as 
much water as it can take in, drain well, and 
then will be left only a light pulp. Whether 
the poultice is of bread or linseed, it is better 
to spread it thin, and to renew it often, the 
weight being an objection to the patient. A 
mustard poultice is best with part liDseed 
meal and a little vinegar. Oil the outside of 
the cloth, and it will in a great measure pre¬ 
vent blistering. These seem simple things, 
but I once recommended a mustard blister to 
a sick man, and he so strenuously opposed it 
that I wondered very much until I discovered 
that his wife usually mixed the mustard with 
hot water and applied the poultice directly to 
the skin ; a right and wrong method is seen in 
these, as well as in many other simple daily 
needs. A. L. j.

ment is not to expect too much. 
SOME BREAKFAST DISHES.

That , at the hour which each knows well, 
The whole hu:je hungry world goes round.

The breakfast bell ! The breakfast bell ! 
It rings for one, it rings for all. 
On land or sea, if human, we 
Obey its merry, merry call. 
Fond love may burn, 
And o'er her urn 
The tears of Sorrow rise and full. 
The breakfast bell rings for us all!

BEEF CROQUETTES. 
Some finely minced cold roast or boiled beef, 
a quarter as much mashed potato, gravy in 
which an onion has been boiled and strained 
out, and a beaten egg to bind the ingredients 
together. The potato should be mashed while 
hot and must bo free of lumps. Add the meat, 
gravy, egg and seasoning and form into small 
balls, oblong or egg-shaped. Dip each into a 
beaten egg, then roll in cracker crumbs and fry 
quickly to a light brown. 
HOMINY CROQUETTES. 
Two or three cups of cold boiled hominy, 
two beaten eggs, two spoonfuls of melted but¬ 
ter, seasoning. Work the hominy and butter 
together until soft, add the eggs and seasoning, 
add a little flour if necessary and form into 
balls or rolls with floured hands. Fry a deli¬ 
cate brown. 
RICE CROQUETTES. 
Two large cups of cold boiled rice, two 
tablespoonfuls of melted butter, two beaten 
eggs, seasoning and a little flour. Make all 
smooth atjd form iuto small shapes, dip in a 
beaten egg and then in cracker crumbs and 
fry a few at a time in butter. Serve with a 
little sugar and grated lemon peel sifted over 
them. These are delicious. 
STIRRED EGGS. 
Six eggs, three spoonfuls of chicken gravy, 
a little anchovy paste, a spoonful of butter, 
some slices of nicely toasted bread, seasoning. 
Melt the butter in a frying-pan, break in the 
eggs, add the gravy and seasoning and stir 
until the whole is a soft yellow mass. Spread 
the toast thinly with butter and the anchovy 
paste, arrange upon a flat dish and heap the 
stirred egg upon it. Serve before the eggs 
harden. 
calf’s liver. 
About two pounds of calf’s liver, two 
minced onions, a tablespoonful of mushroom 
or tomato catsup, a spoonful of currant jelly, 
salt, pepper, the juice of a lemon and good 
dripping for frying. Cut the liver into half- 
inch slices and fry to a light brown; drain 
and lay in the dish in which it is to be served, 
but keep hot. Add to the dripping in the pan 
the onion, lemon juice, seasoning, and lightly 
brown the onion without burning, add the 
catsup, jolly, a little flour and water for 
thickening, boil up and pour over the liver. 
DEVILED TOMATOES. 
Cut smooth tomatoes in half and broil over 
a clear fire. Arrange on a hot dish and pour 
the following dressing over them: three 
spoonfuls of vinegar, the yelks of three hard- 
boiled eggs, three tablespoonfuls of melted 
butter, a teaspoonful of made mustard, a tea 
spoonful of powdered sugar, a small quantity 
of Cayenne pepper, salt and two well-whipped 
eggs. Rub the boiled yelks, butter and season¬ 
ing together, beat until light, add the vinegar 
and heat to almost boiling, then gradually 
add the raw egg, stirring until the mixture 
thickens. Pour at once over the tomatoes. 
MINCED CHICKEN ATI) EGGS. 
Remains of roast or boiled chickens. Cut 
the chicken into small, neat pieces. The bones, 
gristle, skin, etc., put into a saucepan with an 
onion, cover with cold water and stew slowly 
for an hour. Strain, let stand for a short time 
that the grease may rise, skim, return to the 
saucepan, add a half cup of cream, season with 
pepper and salt, a little minced parsley and 
thicken with a spoonful of cornstarch. When 
it has boiled and thickened, turn over the 
chicken. Butter a pudding dish, strew thickly 
with bread crumbs, pour in the mince, 
cover the top thickly with crumbs, break 
six or eight eggs carefully upon the surface, 
strew bits of butter over the top with 
pepper and salt, cover the whole with cracker 
dust and bake in a quick oven until the whites 
of the eggs are well set. 
CLAM FRITTERS. 
T ake raw clams and chop very fine. To a 
pint of the juice add the same quantity of 
milk, then the minced clams and four beaten 
eggs and flour with a teaspoonful of baking
