    Lobster Patties. Make some puff paste and spread it on very deep patty-pans. Bake it empty. Having boiled well two or three fine lobsters, extract all the meat and I mince it very small, mixing it with the coral smoothly smashed, and some yolk of hard-boiled egg, grated. Season it with a little salt, some cayenne, and some powdered mace or nutmeg, adding a little yellow lemon rind, grated. Moisten the mixture well with cream, fresh butter, or salad oil; put it into a stewpan, add a very little water, and let it stew till it just comes to a boil; take it off the fire, and the patties being baked, remove them from the tin- pans, place them on a large dish, and fill them up to the top with the mixture. Similar patties may be made of prawns or crabs. A Fine Custard Pudding1. Mix by degrees a pint of good milk with a large spoonful of flour, the yolk of five eggs, some orange-flower water, and a little powdered ciimafiaon. Butter a basin that will exactly hold it, pour the batter in and tie a floured cloth over it; put it in boiling water over the fire, and turn it about five minutes to prevent the egg going to one side. Half-an-hour will boil it. For Coughs, Colds, and Throat Diseases, Use “Brown’s Bronchial Troches.” Having proved their efficacy by a test of many years, each year finds the Troches in some new, distant localities, in various parts of the world. Being an article of true merit, when once used the value of the Troches is appreciated; and they are kept always at hand, to be used as occasion requires. Cocoanut Custard. To one pound of grated cocoanut allow one pint of new milk and six ounces of sugar. Beat well the yolks of six eggs, and stir them alternately in the milk with the cocoanut and sugar. Put it into a pail or pitcher, set it into boiling water, and stir all the time till very smooth and thick; as soon as it comes to a hard boil, take it off and serve it in cups or glass tumblers. Harriet’s Snow Pudding. Pour one pint of boiling water on half-a-box of gelatine; add juice of one lemon and two cups of sugar. When nearly cold, strain it; add the whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff froth, then beat all well together again, put it into a mould to shape it, and let it cool. Take the yolks of these eggs, one pint of milk, and one tea-spoonful of corn starch, flavor with vanilla ; cook this like any soft custard—put the hard part of the pudding into a dish, when you want to serve it, with the custard round it. Ba sure and call for “Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup,” Millions of mothers can testify that it is a perfectly safe and reliable remedy. It relieves the child from pain, and cures dysentery and diarrhoea. It softens the gums, reduces inflammation, cures wind-colic, and carries tho infant safely through the teething period.
