 VIRGINIA WAFERS. 
 
 Powder two ounces lard into one quart flour ; add a tea- 
 spoonful salt, and stir in gradually sufficient milk, about a 
 half pint, to make a soft dough. YVork and knead this dough 
 continuously for fifteen minutes. It must be soft and full of 
 blisters. Pull off a piece about the size of a small egg, and 
 roll it out into a cake about six or seven inches in diameter 
 and as thin as a wafer; stick regularly over the top with a 
 fork, place on lightly greased pie tins and bake in a very mod- 
 erate oven until thoroughly done, without browning. These 
 wafer like biscuits are exceedingly nice to serve with cheese 
 or preserves. 
 
 MILK BISCUIT. 
 
 Put one quart flour into a vessel ; add a large tablespoon- 
 ful, or two ounces butter, and a teaspoonful salt; work back- 
 ward and forward an instant, mix with the butter ; then add 
 two heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder, and sufficient 
 milk, about ha'f a pint to make a soft dough. Mix quickly, 
 take out on a board and roll about one inch in thickness. Cut 
 with a small, round cutter, and bake in a quit k oven fifte* n 
 minutes. Do not allow the biscuits to touch each other while 
 baking. These biscuits can be made in five minutes and are 
 delightful. 
 
 BAKESTONE CAKES. 
 
 Rub one ounce butter into one quart flour, until the flour 
 is well greased; add a teaspoonful salt and sufficient thin 
 cream to moisten, beating vigorously all the while . A dough, 
 not a batter, must be formed. Work the dough for just one 
 minute ; roll it out half an inch thick ; cut with a biscuit cut- 
 ter, and bake quickly on a hot griddle.

 add a half cup chopped stale bread. Do not forget that the 
 Perfection chopper will chop the codfish, potatoes and bread, 
 and it is not necessary to clean the machine until all are 
 chopped. Drain the fish, scald it and drain again, and add it 
 to the other ingredients; let it boil up once, add a palatable 
 seasoning of salt and pepper, and serve very hot. 
 
 DEVILED OYSTERS. 
 
 Drain and chop twenty-five nice fat oysters, then drain 
 ao-ain. Put a half pint of cream on to boil. Rub one round- 
 ing tablespoonful butter with two of flour, and add to the 
 crram when boiling; stir continually until it thickens, then 
 add the yolks of two eggs slightly beaten, cook a moment, take 
 from the fire and add a tablespoonful chopped parsley, the 
 oysters, salt and cayenne to taste. Have the deep shells of 
 oysters washed perfectly clean, fill them with this mixture, 
 sprinkle lightly with bread crumbs, stand them in a baking 
 pan and brown in a very quick oven. Serve in the shells and 
 garnish with parsley. A word of caution : Avoid long cook- 
 ing as it makes them hard and dry. 
 
 SMOTHERED OYSTERS, OR FANCY ROAST. 
 
 Put a tablespoonful butter in a covered saucepan, with 
 half a saltspoonful white pepper, one teaspoonful salt and a 
 few grains cayenne. When hot add one pint oysters carefully 
 prepared. Cover closely and shake the pan to keep the oys- 
 ters from sticking; cook two or three minutes, or till plump.

 teaspoonful celery salt, a few grains cayenne, a small piece 
 lemon rind, using only the thin, yellow skin, a slight grating 
 nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Soak one and a half box

 MAYONNAISE DRESSING. 
 
 One teaspoonful mustard, one of sugar, one-half teaspoon- 
 ful salt, one-fourth saltspoonful cayenne, one pint olive oil, 
 yolks two raw eggs, three tablespoonfuls vinegar, three of 
 lemon juice. Mix the first four ingredients in a quart bowl, 
 add the yolks, mix well, then add a half teaspoonful oil and 
 beat with a Dover egg beater till well mixed, continue adding 
 a half teaspoonful of oil at a time beating after each addition 
 until thick, then thin it with part of the lemon juice, then add 
 the oil, a tablespoonful at a time, till thick, then the remainder 
 of the lemon juice, then add oil and vinegar alternately till all 
 are used. The dressing should be quite thick when done. 
 Beat the whites of the two eggs till very stiff, adding enough 
 to the dressing to make it the right consistency, or stiff enough 
 when taken up on a spoon to drop and not run. Do all beat- 
 ing with a Dover or Keystone beater. Should the mixture 
 curdle put two fresh yolks into a bowl, using the curdled mix- 
 ture, a little at a time, just as you would oil, thinning out 
 when necessary, with lemon juice and vinegar. Add no more 
 seasoning unless necessary. Always have oil, eggs and bowl 
 very cold. 
 
 FRENCH DRESSING. 
 
 One-eighth teaspoonful salt, one saltspoonful pepper, a 
 quarter teaspoonful onion juice, one teaspoonful made mus- 
 tard, one tablespoonful vinegar, three of olive oil. Mix in the 
 order given, adding the vinegar slowly, and lastly, the oil, 
 slowly. This dressing is suitable for vegetable or egg salads.

 CREAM SALAD DRESSING. 
 One and one-half cups fresh, thick cream, yolks two hard 
 boiled eggs, one teaspoonful sugar, three-fourths teaspoonful 
 salt, one-half saltspoonful cayenne, three-fourths teaspoonful 
 mustard, one and one-half tablespoonful vinegar. Rub the 
 yolks to a smooth paste, gradually add the salt, sugar, mus- 
 tard and vinegar. The cream should be very cold ; beat it 
 with an egg beater until smooth and rather thick. Stir this, 
 a spoonful at a time, into the egg mixture, and use it the same 
 as a mayonnaise. 
 
 BOILED SALAD DRESSING. 
 
 Melt one tablespoonful butter in a saucepan, add one 
 tabespoonful flour; cook together till frothy, but not brown ; 
 add gradually a half cup vinegar and continue cooking till the 
 mixture thickens, then remove from the stove. Mix thor- 
 oughly one teaspoonful each, salt, sugar and mustard, and a 
 few grains cayenne, and stir into the vinegar sauce, stirring 
 until smooth. Heat one cup milk in a double boiler, add two 
 beaten egg yolks, mix well and cook like a soft custard, stir- 
 ring constantly. When slightly thickened remove the upper 
 boiler and gradually mix the custard with the vinegar sauce. 
 Beat it with an egg beater till smooth and strain before it cools. 
 Put it away in glass jars closely covered, and it will keep for 
 weeks in a cool place.

A SECRET ABOUT 
 MINCE PIE. 
 
 A man was buyiEg mince meat at the Protective Union, when the 
 clerk remarked with animation, "O, what is as good as Mince Pie? I 
 t could eat a piece just now." Just then a cloud passed over his face, as he 
 jcontinued, "But it disagrees with my stomach." 
 
 The customer at once informed him that he might fearlessly eat mince 
 me, if he would only use Bardwell's "Q. R." for Dyspepsia. It stops that 
 I'urning sensation at the pit of the stomach, and removes that imaginary 
 ilump in the throat, and that nauseas, sour taste; and for belching— well, just 
 itry it once. Sold by Druggists and Grocers. Trial size, 15 cents. Regular size, 
 25 cents. 
 
 Mr. S. A. Pratt, of the Protective Union, No. 24 Front Street, after 
 jselling the "Q. R." for eight years, recommends it very highly as an article 
 of real merit.

How shall our food be prop- 
 erly cooked ? This is a question 
 that is being considered now, 
 more than at any time during 
 the past. 
 
 Cooking Schools are being 
 established almost everywhere, 
 that those who have the import- 
 ant work of coooking to do can 
 be taught how to do it. 
 
 One of the greatest contribu- 
 tors toward the success of this 
 work is the introduction of Gas 
 7/7 6 \J' ^^ for fuel. Only a few years have 
 
 elapsed since its general adop- 
 tion for this purpose, and yet thousands of people can speak of its 
 superior advantages over other fuel, especially in the Summer. 
 
 It does its work quicker, 
 better and costing- less than 
 
 any other summer fuel. Bv 
 the careful use of Gas, there 
 is no doubt that a great sav- 
 ing in the cost of fuel is 
 affected. The consumer 
 
 should exercise a little super- 
 vision until habits of careful- 
 ness have been established. 
 The gas should not be turned 
 on until required and turned 
 off directly, when done with. 
 We will always be glad to 
 give any information on the subject of cooking by Gas to all who may 
 be interested.

 ORANGE SAUCE. 
 
 Beat the whites of three eggs till stiff, but not dry ; add a

 Think our establishment is perfect, and don't criticise us too 
 severely. It is no easy task to modernize any line of business. 
 
 Our efforts have been appreciated however, in Worcester, 
 as well as in Providence, and other New England cities in 
 which we have been identified with the movement to a less 
 degree indirectly. 
 
 We believe a Market, as any other store, should be pleas- 
 ant and attractive. 
 
 We believe a market should above all things be clean 
 and the atmosphere wholesome. We cannot conceive how 
 people have so long tolerated want of neatness in the line of 
 business that above all others requires it. 
 
 Our aim is to make our establishment a place the best 
 ladies of Worcester like to visit, and our goods such as they 
 enjoy to select from. 
 
 Whether we are on the right road to the fulfillment of 
 the above principles, we are willing to leave Dear Madam, you 
 to be the judge. 
 
 Most respectfully yours, 
 
 The Worcester Market.
