The turkey should hang for two nights, If frozen, plunge it. into a tub of fresh water to thaw before cooking. To make the stuffing or filling, take one pouud of bread crumbs, one teacupful of sweet cream, one raw egg, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, one slice of onion, minced fine. Season with salt and plenty. of black pepper. Fill the body of the turkey and the hollow in the breast from, which the eraw was removed. Take a stitch or two in the skin, to prevent the eseape el the stuffing. Rub salt and pepper over the turkey, dredge it well with sifted flour ; put in a pan with two quarts of water and set in the oven to roast As it cooks, haste continually with the gravy in the pan. TN hen the back is brown, turn first one side then the other to brown, dredging eaeh time with more flour. Last of all brown the breast. Let the fire be steady, but not too hob, or the turkey will be brown before it is done. For a twelve-pouod turkey allow three hours at least. If the turkey bas been properly dredged, the gravy wilt need no additional thickening ; but if it is not quite thick enough, a little flour, mixed to a smooth paste, may be added, stirring well meanwhile to keep it smooth. All of the grease should be skimmed from the gravy before sending it to the table. cnicavoe PIE. Cut up and boil the chickens in just enough water to cover them and when tender take out and out into smaller pieees, removing. the thick skin. Line a deep baking pleb with a crust rolled twice as thick as for a frnit pie. Pot in the chicken in layers, sprinkling each layer with a little salt and flour, Fill the dish, nearly full with the liquor in which the chickens were boiled and add if liked a few bits of butter aud a little pepper. Cover with an upper crust, cutting ont o seotion from the centre, and closing the outer edges neatly. For the crust use one quart of flour into which has been sifted three teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a teasp000ful of salt. Rub in a cup of bntter and mix with sweet milk as soft as can be rolled out.

It is a good way to prepere a quantity of currants at a rime and put them away in jars for use when needed as it takes a long time to prepare them properly. When currants are bought put them at once into a bowl, sprinkle on flour and rub with the bands in order to remove the sticky portions or dirt, clinging to the ourrants and also to dislodge the stems. Then pour on cold. water rub again with the hands then turn tho currants into a colander, let run through rubbing and rins- ing them several times.

A lady who does not believe in wine even at Christmas time, whispered to the writer that instead of the brandy, cream and some nice fruit juice or flaxen/1g makes a good sauce prepared in this way. 3riNCE. MEAT AND PIM "Two months to mellow" was the alvice of a famous housekeeper in regard to mince meat. It is the custom with many good cooks to make sufficient meat at Christmas time to last all winter. Sometimes the apple is added and the whole mixture cook- ed long and slowly and then put away in earthen jars or sealed in glass fruit oans ; another plan is to prepare the meat, fruit and seasoning and add the chopped apple as needed. This is a good way for plain mince meat or where large quantities are made. In any case it is true that mince meat improves with age and as soon as it is settled cold weather it is time to make it and have it off your mind. Hygienic? Nobody believes it is, yet everybody wants just a few mince pies each season, although, doubtless, there are fami. lies who eat altogether too many. The best rule for mince meat, like the baby and the sewing machine, is generally one's own, yet there are some unfortunate hoesekeepers who have none of their own, and for their benefit several excellent rules are given, from which they may select ac- cording to their own taste, pocket -hook or husband's digestion. Some housekeepers buy a tongue for mince meat, others think any scraggly or cheap piece will do. I find it a satisfactory way to get a solid piece from the roiled. This season I shall use some boiled cider and sortie preserved citron of my own make. The apples will be added because. they are on hand, and the grated rind and the juice of lemma which are an addition to any formula. Finally after it is prepared I must trust t,o housewifely vigilance to keep the mince meat in a steam -heated apartment, where evely place from pantry to tiny basement storeroom is ;warmed day and night. The following rule will make A DELICIOUS COmPorND and originated with Mrs. Green, a teacher of cookery. This quantity will make ten Two cups of chopped meat, five cups of chopped apple, Otte cup of molasses, three cups of brown sugar, one map of boiled cider; season with two teaspoontifis of cinnamon, one each of cloves, allspice and mate, the juice and rind of one lemon. Add also one cup of the liquid in which the meat was boil- ed, one cup of vinegar, one cup of water, three teaspoonfuls of salt, tWO 0111)S of chop, ped raisins, mie and one-half cups of chopped citron and candied orange peel, two cups of currants, one-half cup of chopped suet or if no suet is used butter may be sebatituted. Mix all together thoroughly and cook two hours slowly. • A ItIUCH-eRIxED 'RULE is the following One and one-half pounds of meat --after it is boiled---ohoppcd fine, one and one -tall pounds of suet chopped fine, three winds of chopped apple, one pound of sugar, one cup of molasses, one quart, of boiled cider, oue tablespoonful each of mace, allspice, cinnamon and one- half tablespoonful of cloves, a scant quarter of a cup of salt, one nuance.; one and one pounds of raisins seeded and ooe and one-half pounds of currants. Cook /slowly until the apple is done ; then add the juice ead grated, rind of one tenon and one-half pound of citron out fine. , ron roam mime rtes. Two cups of meat, four cups of apple, two teaspoonfuls each of salt, cinnamon and all- spice, two cups of brown sugar, one oup of raisins, one cup of currants, two cups of sweet pickle vinegar or one cup of water and the juice of four lemons. Chop the meat fine also the apples and the raisins after stoning them. Cook all together until the apple is soft. moeuau'a mane rm. Use four pounds of lean beef, two pounds of suet; boil them together until tender, then cool and, skint of' all the top of the liquor and ohop it fine with the beef. Have twelve cupa of chopped apple and three quinces chopped ,fine and three quarts of sweet eider ; cook the apple and quince a little in the cider. Then mix together thoroughly the chopped meat and suet, the apple and quince, cider, four pounds of seed- ed raisius, four pounds of currauts, one Quart of brandy, two quarts of molasses six lemons and six oraoges (the juice only), diree ounces of citron out tine, one and. one-balf ounces each of clove, cinnamon, mace and and nutmeg, one teaspoonful of black pep- per, and aalt to taste. Heat the mixture to the boiling point and it is ready for use. The juices of canned fruit may be used in mince meat and are an exeellent addition. Inetead of raisins, fresh grapes may be used ; stone them and spread thennover the pie before putting on the top crust. Mother estimated that this rule would make about three gallons of mince meat, and. advised the beginner to make ball the rule at the first trial. She also said that if one did not use the brand, boiled eider might be substituted for a part of the brandy, and the liquor in which the meat was boiled used to make up the remainder. Too much boiled eider give a a bitter taste to mince meat. APPLE POPP rte. Pare, quarter and core eight sour apples and steam until tender. Ranh througn strainer and season while hot with a level tablespoonfulof butter,alittle mace, the rind of a lemon grated and sugar to taste. When cold line plates with paste and fill with the cooked apple, cover with puffpaste and cook in a hot oven from thirty to forty' minutes. OYSTER VILLINO VOR PATTIES. Brown a tablespoonful each of flour and butter together, pear on slowly one.half cop of oyster liquor and one-quarter cup of hot milk. Season with Salt and pepper and add a teaspoonful of essence of enchant - les. Add a cup of parboiled and drained oysters anti fill the patty elinee. Tilt: ntw RULE FOR PCPC PASTE different from that which has been gis en in the cooking school atprevious lectures. Use a pound of flour, the yolk of one egg., a tea- spoont al of salt and a teaspoonful of lemon juice. Mix with ice water mini it is a stiff dough like a ball, then toes it on to the board and knead a long tirne. The kneading of puff paste is contrary to all previous notioesin regard to pastry mak- ing ; the object evidently is to thoroughly incorporate the yolk of the egg and the lemon juice, Having kneaded the paste dough, pat And roll it out, and put it away - to chill. Butter for 'puff paste must be washed to remove the buttermilk. Rinse the bowl with hot weter then putin n piece of ice. Dip the hands into hot then into ice cold water and work the butter over in the ice water until it becomes waxy, then pat it to remove all the moisture and divide it into long stips and lay on a clean napkin in pan sot in another pan of i.e or where it will get thoroughly chilled. Having et illed the paste and butter they are ready to be incorporated. Pound out the paste with the rolling pin into a long shape and lay on one of the pieces of chilled butter which has been rolled out to nearly the size and shape of the paste. Fold each side of the paste toward the centre, then at the end fold one-third over to the centre and the remaining portion over that. This makes a square block of paste -with many layers: Turn the block of paste half way round then pound out until about one.third of an inch thick; use weedier section of the butter in exactly the same way, folding again. Repeat a third time and the butter is then all added. Now every good cook understands that the blisters which appear on the surface of the pastry must not be broken, and this is one reason why pounding or patting the paste into shape is better than to roll it and risk breaking the blisters or bubbles of air. Every bubble of air which can be en- closed by folding chilled paste is so much additional lightness when it is put into a hot oven and the air attempts to escape. Seven times is not too many to fold and pound out the paste, but it must be kept thoroughly cold, and if it grows warm set it away at once to chill and always be mire to chill it before using. A warm, muggy atmosphere affects puff paste audit will not be as nice as when made on a clear day. Puff paste when baked in patties and st ells is much lighter than when it is in a pie because the dampness of the filling de- tracts from its dry, feathery lightness. Roll the paste evenly about one half an inch thick. Cut cent circles and from one half cut out another smaller circle. Put the large circle and the rim together, wetting with ice -water; bake the small circles separately. Having rolled out the crust for the patties, chill it in a pan of ice or where it is very cold. The oven should be hot but not hot enough to brown the top before the paste has risen. rt will take about twenty.five minutes to bake the patties. There will always be a bit of uncooked paste in the centre of the lower crust of a patty which must be carefully taken out with a small spoon or fork. • Do not use puff paste for the tinder etust of pies; it is a waste of strength, beside the undercrust ought not to be puffy. In rolling out plain paste you can roll in any direction. A DAINTY CHIRISTMAS TEA. The principal meal on Christmas Day, is, of course the dinner, wnich is, geuerelly speaking, of a very elaborate character; the tea, therefore, in order to be really ap- preciated sliould form as far as possible, a pleasing contrast. Nothing of a hot, heavy, or greasy nature should be provided, but only those light, elegant trifles which are so enjoyable when accompanied by a cup of judiciously made tee: One exception, how- 41111111111111P ever, is generally made to this rule, and that is in favor of the time.honored Christmas plum cake, which, it must be confessed, is rather a substantial delay, and yet with- out which the tea-Mble wonld, in tae esti- mation of the young folks at any rate, be lacking in it chief atteactnin. •As to the manner of serving the meal - whether the guests shall gather round 'he i table and enjoy their tea n the comfortable, old.fasbioned style, or whether they shall be allowed to sit or stand about the room as inatjoo. prompts them and have the 'cups, etc., handed roun de -that is a point to be de- cided by each individual hostess, who is supposed. to arrange these little details according to her own ideas of what will be more pleasing to those whom she is enter - tabling. In any case, however, the table should be rendered as dainty and atttactive looking as possible that it may act as 0 sort, of stimulus to the appetite ; and this point eau be very eiisily accomplished, by just bringing 4 little, genuine good taste to bear upon the subject. In arranging the widens dishes, which should be the very loveliest we possess, intermix them with a plentiful supply of winter flowers and delicate ferns, if such are to be had • if not, use holly and .holly -berries widen, when arrarged artistically, form a most pleasing and etre°. tive decoration. The , flowers and ferns appear to best advantage when placed in smell finger -glasses or slender vases, but the holly, with its beautiful, brilliant berries should be arranged in long, trailing sprays upon tee snowy -white cloth. The Making and twisting of these spraya in a light, graceful fashion, is work wnieh requires eertain amount of both skill and patience, but a little practice soon makes perfect and the art is well worth learning. I will now give briefly, a few receipts for cakes which are ia every way adopted to the festive oc- easion, and which never fail, when properly matie of course, to meet with full and hearty a ppreeio; L PATTDM These appetizing little cakes ,are very easily made and are riot at all expensive. The prepamtienowith which, they.are filled will, if nicely mads and stored in a nool place, keep good for several months, and it IS always 0000venient thing to keep on hand; it is prepared as fellows: T"rit eight ounces of butter into an earthenware jar, with the well -beaten yolks of eight fresli eggs, eight mama of tinely.sifted white sugar, the strainedjoice of two fresh lemons and the grated rind of three. In grating the lemon rind part of the pulp will adhere to the grater, and this must be removed by rob- bing the giater afterwards with a tiny bit of . tale bread, letting •the crumbs, as far as possible, he added to the other ingredients, Set the jar in a saucepan of boiling water and stir the contents constantly with a SIT101, wooden spoon until the preparation becomes perfeotly smooth and about the thickness of good honey; then remove the jar from the water anti set it in a cool place, When the patties are to be batted, line outsome small, sballow patty.tins with rielf pastry rolled out, very thin, put a small quantity oilmen paste into each and bike tor ten or twelve minutes in a brisk oven. When quite cold, dnee the top over very lightly with fine, white sugar and serve, tastefully arranged, on a lees: dish -paper. elrELED WAFERS. Beat six ounces of fresh butter to a cream then mix it gradually with au equal weight ef dried sifted flonr, three large, well -boat - en 5gs, two onneea of fine, white sugar, 4 pinch of salt, a few drops of flavoring es - mina and three or four tablespoonfulof creme ; beat the mixture briskly until the various ingredients are thoroughly blended, then drop it, a tablespoonful at a time, epee a buttered baking tin, leaving plenty at space between for the cakes to swell, dur- ing the process of cooking, which they will do to a considerable extent. When cooked sufficiently and lightly browned, remove the cakes from the tin, end while still hot, twist mill one very carefully to theform of a cornucopia, or a horn, in a very gentle manner so as not to crank the wafers. Re- turn the cakes to the oven for a minute or two to stiffen into shape ; then, when quite cold, put first a, tiny spoonful of some deli- cate preserve into each, then a spoonful of whipped cream, and serve tastefully ars ranged on a pretty, glass dish. CHOCOLATE MACAROONS, Put a quarter of a pound ot grated choco- late, of the very best quality, into a basin with an equal quantity of sifted, white sugar and three ounces of almon ds which have been blanched and pounded ; mix well, form iuto a rather soft, light paste with beaten egg, then drop the preparation, in tiny morsels of equal size, 'upon a baking -tin which has previously been covered with a sheet of thickly -buttered paper, Bake in a moder- ate oven fax about twenty n-neetes, then re- move the tin from the ovett, ....ex the sheet of paper over so that the cakes may rest lightly on the table, and brush the paper over with cold water in order to loosen the cakes and eauee them to separate from it. Serve cold and crisp, arranged according to taste on a pretty dish -paper. FRUIT:LEAVES. Break three large, fresh eggs into a basin; beat them welli then add four ounces each of finely sifted flour and white sugar, a seasoning of salt and -some flavoring essence, and continue a brisk beating until all the ingredients are thoroughly blended. Spread the paste out in a half-inch layer on a but- tered baking -tire bake in brisk oven for about a quarter of in hour, then 'allow to coon and stadp out in pretty -shaped leaves with a sharp pastry cutter; cover the top with a thin layer of green .kitg, dry in a ceol, oven with the door open; then cool on O sieve. Serve in a dircle or 'wreath on ' a pretty glass dish, and .fill in the centre with a mound of delicately whipped cream, the latter lightly sprinkled with finely-chopnid, candied cherries. I wouldfain offer more receipts would:apace allow of it, but all I can say is, place the plumeake in the middle of the table, garnish it, after it has been properly iced, with holly leaves and berries, and arrange the other cakes according to taste; supplement these with some plates of rolled bread and butter -a dainty which I dare say every house- wife knows how to prepare -plenty of plain, crisp crackers or 'biscuits," as we term them, and a dish of fresh better made up into pretty, feteeiful shapes, and -the Clueste mas tea -table will present an appearance welcome to all.
