and let stand 20 minutes. Strain and add the infusion slowly to 1/3 of a
cup of sugar, mixed with 3/4 of a tablespoonful of arrowroot and a few

5.--Finnan-haddie.
Wash the fish thoroughly, soak 1/2 an hour in cold water, skin side up;
then cover with boiling water and let stand 5 minutes. Drain carefully,
then remove the skin and bone. Put the flaked fish into a buttered
serving dish and pour over it white sauce equal in quantity to that of
the fish; cover with buttered crumbs and bake in a hot oven long enough
to brown the crumbs.--Janet M. Hill, in "Boston Cooking School
Magazine."

Stuff the pigeons with ordinary force meat. Roast and serve around a

taste, a little butter, and the whites of 4 eggs beaten to a stiff

boil. Mix two tablespoonfuls of flour with a little cream or milk, and
stir into the boiling cream. Season well with salt and pepper and cook

them out and add to the cream, take out the piece of onion. Season and
turn carefully into the mould. Cover with mashed potato, being careful
not to add too much at once. Bake 1/2 an hour. Take from the oven about
ten minutes before dishing and let it cool a little. Then place a large
dish over the mould and turn out carefully. Caution should be taken that
