VARIOUS USEFUL RECEIPTS, &c., OF OUR OWN GATHERING.

TO MAKE PRUNE TART.--Scald the prunes, take out the stones, and break
them; put the kernels into a little cranberry juice with the prunes and
some sugar; simmer, and when cold make a tart of the sweetmeat, or eat
it in any other way.

TO MAKE ASPIC JELLY.--Put a knuckle of veal into a small stock-pot, with
a knuckle of ham, two calves' feet, and the trimmings of poultry; season
this with onions, carrots, and a bunch of sweet herbs; pour into it half
a bottle of white wine and a ladleful of good broth; set it over the
stove till it is reduced to a light glaze, then cover the meat with good
broth, throw in two glasses of isinglass, and let it boil for three
hours; then strain, and clear the jelly with white of eggs. When used,
it must be melted, and poured just warm over the chicken or tongue.

IMITATION CURRY POWDER.--An admirable imitation of the oriental
stimulant, curry powder, can be made by reducing to powder the following
materials, mixing them well together, and keeping them in a
tightly-corked bottle: Three ounces of turmeric, the same of coriander
seed, one ounce of ground ginger, the like quantity of ground black
pepper, a quarter of an ounce of cinnamon, the same weight of cumin seed
and of cayenne, and half an ounce of cardamoms.

TO CLEAN WOODSTOCK GLOVES.--Wash them in soap and water till the dirt is
out, then stretch them on wooden hands, or pull them out in their proper
shape. Do not wring them, as that puts them out of form, and makes them
shrink; put them one upon another and press the water out. Then rub the
following mixture over the outside of the gloves: If wanted quite
yellow, take yellow ochre; if quite white, pipe clay; if between the
two, mix a little of each together. Mix the color with beer or vinegar.
Let them dry gradually, not too near the fire, nor in too hot a sun;
when about half dried, rub them
