tmeg, and cayenne, all finely powdered. Put
alternately in layers the chicken, slices of ham, or fresh gammon of
bacon, forcemeat balls, and eggs boiled hard. If baked in a dish, add a
little water, but none if in a raised crust. Prepare some veal gravy
from the knuckle or scrag, with some shank-bones of mutton, seasoned
with herbs, onions, mace, and white pepper, to be poured into the pie
when it returns from the oven. If it is to be eaten hot, truffles,
morels, and mushrooms may be added; but not if it is to be eaten cold.
If baked in a raised crust, the gravy must be nicely strained, and then
put in cold as jelly. To make the jelly clear, give it a boil with the
whites of two eggs, after taking away the meat, and then run it through
a fine lawn sieve.--Rabbits, if young and fleshy, will make as good a
pie. Their legs should be cut short, and their breast-bones must not go
in, but will help to make the gravy.

CHICKEN SAUCE. An anchovy or two boned and chopped, some parsley and
onion chopped, and mixed together, with pepper, oil, vinegar, mustard,
walnut or mushroom ketchup, will make a good sauce for cold chicken,
veal, or partridge.

CHILI VINEGAR. Slice fifty English chilies, fresh and of a good colour,
and infuse them in a pint of the best vinegar. In a fortnight, this will
give a much finer flavour than can be obtained from foreign cayenne, and
impart an agreeable relish to fish sauce.

CHIMNEY PIECES. To blacken the fronts of stone chimney-pieces, mix oil
varnish with lamp black that has been sifted, and a little spirit of
turpentine to thin it to the consistence of paint. Wash the stone very
clean with soap and water, and sponge it with clear water. When
perfectly dry, brush it over twice with this colour, leaving it to dry
between the times, and it will look extremely well.

CHINA. Broken china may be repaired with cement, made of equal parts of
glue, the white of an egg, and white-lead mixed together. The juice of
garlic, bruised in a stone mortar, is also a fine cement for broken
glass or china; and if carefully applied, will leave no mark behind it.
Isinglass glue, mixed with a little finely sifted chalk, will answer the
same purpose, if the articles be not required to endure heat or
moisture.

CHINA CHILO. Mince a pint-basonful of undressed neck or leg of mutton,
with some of the fat. Put into a stewpan closely covered, two onions, a
lettuce, a pint of green peas, a tea-spoonful of salt, the
