about one-half hour before serving, you will 
have a delicious pot pie. 
JELLIED CHICKEN. 
Any meat which may be left over makes a 
nice relish treated thus. Pick all the meat 
from the bones and chop line, add the gravy 
left and season well, simmer for one-half hour, 
If you think it will not jelly, add some gela¬ 
tine, first soaking it in a little cold water; boil 
a little longer, then turn into a nicely shaped 
dish or mold, w hich has been wet with cold 
water, put it ill a very cold place or on ice to 
harden, when ready to serve, turn it on to a 
] flatter or plate; if you have parsley, garnish 
it with a few leaves. aunt em. 
A GOOD WAY TO COOK AN OLD AND TOUGH 
FOWL. 
Clean and divide, and put into a sauce-pan 
with a half pound of lean salt pork cut into 
pieces. Just cover with water, and cook slow¬ 
ly two hours. Then stir in a large minced 
onion, a half spoonful of powdered sage, a 
little parsley and pepper to taste, adding salt 
if needed. Continue the slow stewing, adding 
water to prevent burning, until tender. Then 
add n teaspoouful of brown sugar and a table¬ 
spoonful of browned flour, previously wet with 
cold water. Boil up and serve.

FRIED CHICKEN. 
Dress and cut up the fowls, and parboil 
them, until they are nearly done, then drain 
from the liquid and fry in good butter, turn¬ 
ing them often until they are of a nice light 
brown and tender, when they arc ready for 
the table. The liquor in which the fowls have 
been boiled (which should be previously sea¬ 
soned with salt and pepper), may be thicken¬ 
ed with some butter rubbed into a little flour 
for gravy. A few biscuits made of half cream 
and half buttermilk, baked, and while hot 
split open and put in the kettle of gravy about 
five minutes before it is served, make au ex¬ 
cellent. accompaniment to the chicken. All 
hut the cook who is a born genius, will have 
lx’tter success with this than with hot pie 
dough cooked in the liquor. The biscuit will 
always be light, and the general result very 
satisfactory. aunt Rachel. 
A SIMPLE WAY OF PREPARING BONED TURKEY 
OR CHICKEN. 
Boil a turkey or chicken in as little water 
as possible until the bones can easily 1 k> sepa¬ 
rated from the meat. Remove I tones, gristle 
and skin, cut into small pieces, mix the light 
and dark pin ts and season with pepper and 
salt. Boil down the liquid in which the fowl 
was boiled, skim off the fat and add a small 
spoonful of gelatine that has first soaked in a 
quarter of a cup of cold water. Boil up and 
turn over the meat, press into a howl and set 
aside until firm. Serve cut into thin slices. 
One must use a very sharp knife. 
MRS. A. VAN D. 
BROILED CHICKEN. 
Never attempt to broil an old chicken. Un¬ 
less you know that the chicken is young, it is 
best to make sure of its being tender by giving 
it a preliminary cooking in the oven. Fill a 
dripping-pan with lioiliug water, place two or 
three sticks or a wire broiler without a handle 
ou top of the pan, and place the chicken over 
the hot water. It. should bo carefully 
dressed and Split down the back. Cover with 
a pan and steam half an hour, then transfer 
from the oven to the gridiron. Broil about 
half uu hour, turning several times. Butter, 
pepper and salt, and send to table smoking 
hot. tom’s wife. 
CHICKEN PUDDING. 
Cut up iuto small pieces and parboil with 
seasoning uut il almost tender. Take out on to 
a platter to cool, and set aside the liquid in 
which the chicken was boiled for the gravy. 
Make ubatter of a quart of milk, three cups 
of flour—sift two teaspoon fids of good yeast 
powder through the flour—three spoonfuls of 
melted butter, a little salt and four eggs well 
beaten. Put a layer of chicken in the bottom 
of a bake dish, barely cover with the batter, 
then another layer of chicken, and more 
batter unt il the dish is full. The batter must 
form the crust. Bake an hour in a moderate 
oven. Remove the fat from the liquid set 
aside, thicken with a little flour made smooth 
in water, add more seasoning if needed, and 
turn into a gravy boat. Chopped parsley, 
niiucod pickle or hard Imiled eggs cut into 
slices may lx* added to the gravy if liked. 
MARY B. 
FRICASSEE AND FRIED CHICKEN. 
After the chicken is nicely dressed and 
washed, it is cut into pieces aud put into clean, 
cold water, with a small handful of salt thrown 
in, where ii stands for au hour or more. 
When it is desirable to put it over to cook, a 
quart or more of water is put into the kettle, 
with the chicken, and when it comes near to 
boiling all impurities are skimmed off, aud 
then it is allowed to cook as rapidly as possible. 
If it is a young fowl, it will be tender in an 
hour. (If an old one it will take much longer, 
require more water, and will be greatly im¬ 
proved by adding a half teacupful of vinegar 
when first put over the fire.) There should be 
but a few spoonfuls of the liquor left in the 
kettle, when the chicken is cooked. A lump 
of good butter the size of an egg with about 
three tablespoonfuls of flour, are worked into 
a smooth paste, theu a little warm water is 
added, so that the paste will pour or mix readi¬ 
ly with the rest of the ingredients. Put into 
the kettle with the chicken about a quart of 
rich creamy milk, and when ft begins to boil, 
pour in the butter paste, aud stir carefully till 
it thickens. Have some nice hot biscuits split 
open arid spread upon a platter, and upou t hese 
arrange pieces of chicken, over all pour some 
of the gravy, and take to the table hot, with 
a disli of nice mashed potatoes. 
Sometimes we roll the pieces of chicken in 
flour (after boiling till tender), and fry in but¬ 
ter, till a nice brown; then make brown gravy 
and serve the latter separately; some of the 
family like this way best. may maple.

Clergymen 
Lawyers, Actors, and Singers, are often 
troubled with loss of voice, resulting 
from a slight cold, weakness of the 
vocal organs, or inflammation of the 
throat, and in all such cases may he 
promptly relieved by the use of Ayer’s 
Cherry Pectoral.

Pectoral on any account. It. is an inval¬ 
uable remedy in Bronchitis and Lung 
Complaints, and speedily relieves 
Hoarseness or Irritation of the Throat, 
caused by public speaking. — Rev. E. 
Betliune, Janesville, Tenn. 
I have been so much afflicted with 
Bronchitis that I should be unable to 
perform my clerical duties without the 
use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. — A. G.

ROAST DUCKS. 
Clean and wash very carefully. To a 
dressing of crumbed bread add, with butter, 
pepper and salt, a little powdered sage and a 
mincesl onion. Stuff and sew up as usual. 
Baste well while roasting. Skim off the gravy 
before thickening. Stew the giblets in a little 
water, when tender, chop and add to the 
gravy. Accompany with currant jelly. 
MRS. B. STORMS. 
ROAST GOOSE. 
Prepare for stuffing the same as you 
would a chicken. Add to fine bread crumbs, 
two eggs, butter, pepper, salt, a good-sized on¬ 
ion chopped line, half a tablesiKxmful of pow¬ 
dered sage aud two spoonfuls of minced fat- 
jxirk. Stuff very full and sew up. It will 
take from two to three hours to roost a goose. 
Cover towards the last with a piece of thick 
paper which you have greased. Add a little 
lemon juice to the gravy. mrs. i. d. k. 
omelets. 
It has always seemed to me that the reason 
so many cooks fail in making au omelet is 
that the pan for cooking is not hot enough at 
the start, aud that too much egg is put in at 
one time. I never attempt to cook more than 
four eggs at a time. The eggs are beaten 
light; a small spoonful of salt is added with two 
tablcspoonfuls of milk. Heat the pan you are 
going to use very hot, put in a spoonful of 
butter, and when melted, pour in the egg. 
Shake over the hottest part of the stove until 
the egg begins to thicken, then let it stand a 
few minutes to brown. Run a knife between 
the sides of the omelet and the pau, fold and 
turn on to a hot d ish. You must serve at once. 
A cheese omelet is made the same as plain om¬ 
elet with this difference, that as soon as it be¬ 
gins to thicken you sprinkle over the top thi-ee 
or four tablespoonfuls of grated cheese. 
ASPARAGUS OMEI.KT. 
Use t he tender tops only of cooked asparagus, 
mince and season and stir into the eggs when 
it is ready to go iuto the pan. 
TOMATO OMELET. 
Just before doubling over a plain omelet, 
spread stewed tomato over the surface, double 
and serve. 
CHICKEN OMELET. 
Before folding, spread over the top a cupful 
of cooked chicken cut rather flue and warmed 
in a little cream sauce. 
JELLY OMELET. 
Make the same as for plaiu omelet, and 
when the egg has set, spread with cun-ant- 
jelly. Fold quickly and serve at once. Very 
nice for dessert. mrs. b. foster. 
CREAMED EOOS. 
Boil eight or ten eggs hard. Throw into 
cold water, and carefully take off shells. Put 
into a deep dish and cover with a drawn 
butter sauce made of a pint of milk, butter the 
size of an egg, a small spoonful of corn starch 
for thickening and a little salt. A very nice 
tea dish, and one easily prepared for unexpect¬ 
ed guests. 
DROPPED EOOS. 
“How do you manage to have your eggs re¬ 
tain their shape; have you a dish especially for 
cooking them in this way Y” Arc the questions 
often asked of me when eggs are brought up¬ 
on my table cooked in this way. The secret is 
in having the water boiling hot when the eggs 
are dropped in, and thou to set the pan on the 
back of the range where the water cannot boil. 
I usually grease the bottom of the pan with a 
little meat, drippings before pouring in the 
water. It is imperative, too, Unit the pan is 
not moved until the whites have become set. 
Sail is added to the water, and hits of butter, 
more salt and a dash of pepper to the eggs 
when taken out. A pan-cake turner is best for 
liftiug out of the water. mrs. economy.
