keep it from browning. As soon as it is all 
melted, pour in the beaten eggs with a circular 
movement, so as to distribute them evenly over 
the pan with one dash. Stir with a broad- 
bladed knife until the eggs begin to set, rais¬ 
ing them here and there to prevent sticking. It 
must be doue quickly, aud should not take 
more than two minutes to cook. The moment, 
the mass begins to set., fold it over from 
opposite edges towards the middle, reverse a 
warm, oval dish oil the pan, press firmly, 
describe a circle with your wrist, turning the 
pan upside down, aud, presto! your omelet lies 
a “thing of beauty,” which you will do well to 
use no delay in serving. 
Having made a plaiu omelet successfully, 
you may vary it indefinitely by the addition 
of herbs, vegetables, meat or fish. A dainty 
omelet Is made by spreading three tablespoon- 
fuls of chopped water-cress over it just before 
folding; parsley, chives or the green tops of 
very young celery plants may also be used; 
they must lie minced as fine as possible and a 
tablespounlul of either will be sufficient; 
parsley, thyme aud sweet marjoram, mixed, 
give the famous French “omelette aux fines 
herbes,” so popular at every wayside inn in 
the must remote corners of sunny France. 
Chop fine parsley, chives, onions, shallots, a 
few sprigs of chervil and a few leaves of sor 
rel; mix two tablespoonfuls of them with the 
beaten eggs, cook and dish as directed. It 
will lake a little more butter to fry it than a 
plain omelet.' This omelet is called by the 
French a “jardiniere.” A tablespoonful each 
of grated onion and minced parsley, mixed 
with the beaten eggs, gives a most savory 
omelet aud is a pretty accompaniment to veal 
cutlets. 
The French also serve omelets on a puree or 
sauce of stewed oniou, buna toes or sorrel, 
According to the taste of many epicures, the 
best tomato omelet is made by adding, just 
before the folding process, a few tablespoon - 
fuls of tomatoes that have been seeded, 
chopped, drained and seasoued. 
A delightful summer omelet is made by 
using in the same way, a little boiled sweet 
corn, grated, seasoned and heated in a bit of 
butter. There is nothing more delicious than 
pea omelets. The peas simply require to be 
cooked, drained and seasoned, aud if they are 
cold ones left from a proceeding meal, heat 
them in a bit of butter. Fold some in the 
omelet and put a circle of them around it. 
Asparagus tips uud sprigs of cauliflower can 
lx* used in like muuuor. For those fond of 
mushrooms, there can be no greater delicacy 
than a mushroom omelet. Fry iu butter a 
aud thoroughly heated iu a warm oven, is 
about the best way of applying heat to a per¬ 
son’s feet, and these cold nights, if one is put 
in the bed an hour or so before retiring, it 
makes one much more comfortable. The bags 
should be made of heavy unbleached muslin, 
and finely se wed. 
After you have boiled a ham it improves it 
much to skin it, sprinkle with pepper aud 
bake in a brisk oven for one-half hour. 
Do you want good fried mush.' Dip it out 
of the kettle it is toiled in, while hot, aud fry 
iu round cakes on the griddle. aunt km.

DOMESTIC RECIPES. 
CHICKEN CROQUETTES. 
Boil a ehickeu—one weighing about five 
pounds will make two dozen croquettes—when 
cold chop very fine, season with salt, pepper, 
a little grated nutmeg or mace, and a tea- 
spoouful of minced onion. Put iu a saucepan 
one and a half cup of milk or cream, aud two 
ounces of butter; when this boils, stir in a 
tablespoonful of flour (which has been rubbed 
smooth with a little cold milk); let it boil a 
minute to cook the flour, then put in the chick¬ 
en, aud mix thoroughly. Flour a bowl, put 
in the mixture, pressing it down, aud set in a 
cold place uutil cold and stiff. Flour your 
hands, mold the croquettes in any shape you 
prefer, roll iu beaten egg, then in crumbs, and 
fry in boiling fat. Calf’s brains arc consider¬ 
ed by many to lie a uicc addition to chicken 
croquettes. They are simply boiled and added 
to the minced chicken. Still another way is 
to add a cupful of boiled rice to the above 
quantity. E.

BREAD JELLY. 
This simple delicacy comes under the head 
of cookery for invalids aud requires a little 
skill in its preparation to make it us palatable 
as it. really should be. Cut a French roll into 
thin slie*?s and toast a golden-brown on both 
sides; then put them into a saucepan with a 
quart of water, a nd simmer over the fire uu¬ 
til they begin to jelly. When done, strain 
through a thin cloth and flavor with lemon- 
juice, nutmeg aud sugar. A little sherry or 
port wine is an improvement. If a French 
roll is not at hand, light, stale home-made 
bread will do very nicely. alice.

BAKED PARTRIDGE. 
Although the Game Laws expire February 
1st, it. is possible that a stray bird shot by the 
hands of some enthusiastic sportsman, will find 
its way into a few homes. This recipe, at auy 
rate, is worth keeping until next year. This 
bird is called pheasant at the South, but by 
“auy other name is just as sweet,” Like all 
game, it is better for having been kept some 
time. A French cook hangs the bird by (he 
feathers of the tail, ami when it falls they 
prepare and eat it, but we would scarcely ad¬ 
vise this for an American jvilate, Clean and 
truss the bird as you would a chicken, stutllng 
it or uot as your taste may direct. An ordin¬ 
ary bread stuffing,with a great deal of minced 
onion, is nice. Cut thin slices of suit.pork, and 
tic them over the breast, or fasten them on 
with small skewers: put the bird ou its lark- 
in a baking-pan with a lump of butter, anil 
half a enq) of hot. water; set in a quick oven 
and baste often. Forty-live minutes will be 
sufficient to cook it, but as the flesh is natural¬ 
ly dry it must, be basted frequently. Boil up 
the gravy in the pan, thicken slightly, add the 
juice of half a lemon, and serve. Raw pota- 
toes, thinly sliced and fried in hot fat, or 
spinach, are nice accompaniments. 1 f you have 
any left, it w ill make a nice breakfast, dish. 
Boil up the bones with the ordinary soup 
seasonings, and when you have a cup of stock, 
strain. Put a bit of butter in n frying-pan, 
stir iu u tablespoonful of flour, add the hot 
st<vk; lay in the remains of the bird cut in 
neat, pieces; simmer for five minutes and pour 
over buttered toast. A few chopped mush¬ 
rooms are a great improvement. If served as 
a dinner or supper dish, some kind of jelly or 
pickled or spiced fruit should be passed with 
it* MRS. A. G.

BREAKFAST DISIIES. 
Dried beef is very good for breakfast. Cut 
thin, put into a frying-pan, cover with cold 
water, und, while other things arc cooking, let 
simmer. Then pour oil’ the water and add to 
the beef, cream, pepper anil salt, if needed, also 
a table-spoonful of melted butter aud a very 
little Hour thickening. Cover and heat through; 
keep hot till needed for tbe tabic. 
Codfish is good if cooked in the same way if 
one has the dassicated article, which is not so 
salt as the fish in bulk, aud con be simmered 
and cooked almost as easily as the beef, only 
requiring a little more flour thickening. 
A little minced beef or lamb can be made up 
with any palatable scraps into balls, and fried 
as arc codfish balls. If an egg is lieateu up 
with them to hold the particles together, aud 
properly seasoned, this can be made a dainty 
dish. 
An omelet makes a very good breakfast, and 
for a small family can be made by beating 
separately yelks and whites of five eggs aud 
adding to the former a little flour (less than a 
tablespooufnl) nibbed smoothly, with a cup of 
milk, und seasoned to taste. Put iu a buttered 
baking dish ami cook in the oven. The cook 
must use her own judgment as to when it is 
done. a. t .

How few know the convenience of saud bags ? 
Long ones, rather larger round than a broom 
stick, are so handy to put over the lower sash 
of wludows to shut, out the air which comes iu 
between the sashes, or on the sill close up to 
the sash, or across the lower edge of a door. 
It is surprising how much cold they keep out,
