TENON. Cut slices of veal three quarters of an inch thick,
beat them with a rolling-pin, and wet them on both sides with egg. Dip
them into a seasoning of bread crumbs, parsley, thyme, knotted marjoram,
pepper, salt, and a little grated nutmeg. Then put them into white
papers folded over, and broil them. Have ready some melted butter in a
boat, with a little mushroom ketchup.--Another way is to fry the
cutlets, after they have been prepared as above. Dredge a little flour
into the pan, and add a piece of butter; brown it, pour in a little
boiling water, and boil it quick. Season with pepper, salt, and ketchup,
and pour over them.--Or, prepare as before, and dress the cutlets in a
Dutch oven. Pour over them melted butter and mushrooms. Neck steaks
especially are good broiled, after being seasoned with pepper and salt;
and in this way they do not require any herbs.
CUTTING GLASS. If glass be held in one hand under water, and a pair of
scissors in the other, it may be cut like brown paper; or if a red hot
tobacco pipe be brought in contact with the edge of the glass, and
afterwards traced on any part of it, the crack will follow the edge of
the pipe.
CUTTING OF TEETH. Great care is required in feeding young children
during the time of teething. They often cry as if disgusted with food,
when it is chiefly owing to the pain occasioned by the edge of a silver
or metal spoon pressing on their tender gums. The spoon ought to be of
ivory, bone, or wood, with the edges round and smooth, and care should
be taken to keep it sweet and clean. At this period a moderate
looseness, and a copious flow of saliva, are favourable symptoms. With a
view to promote the latter, the child should be suffered to gnaw such
substances as tend to mollify the gums, and by their pressure to
facilitate the appearance of the teeth. A piece of liquorice or
marshmallow root will be serviceable, or the gums may be softened and
relaxed by rubbing them with honey or sweet oil.
D.
DAIRY. In a publication intended for general usefulness, the management
of the dairy, the source of so many comforts, demands some attention, in
addition to the information conveyed under various other articles,
connected with this interesting part of female economy. A dairy house
then ought to be so situated that the windows or lattices may front the
north, and it should at all times be kept perfectly cool and clean.
Lattices are preferable to glazed lights, as t
