PREFACE.
" We may live without poetry, music and art ;
We may live without conscience, may live without heart;
We may live without friends, may live without books;
But civilized man cannot live without cooks."
— Owen Meredith.
This, our first attempt, has been compiled with great care
and thoughtfulness. Although we have selected a few re-
ceipts from famous cooks, still the majority are the favorites
of the housekeepers of our village.
True, the same receipts in other hands maj'^ not be as
suxessful, but by remembering the three particulars,
CAREFULNESS,
WANT OF WASTE,
AND GOOD TASTE,
we trust they will prove delicious.
Hoping our book will be a comfort into whatever home
it may enter, we sink silently into the

pounds beef, one pound bone, five and one-half quarts clear
cold water, two ounces salt, two carrots, two large onions with
two cloves stuck in them, six leeks, one head celery, two
turnips, one parsnip. Boil until all are tender, set aside to cool,
next day remove the fat ; in using be careful not to disturb
the settlings. It is now ready for any garnishing, such as
croutons, dice of fried bread, vermicelli, etc.
SOUP JULIENNE WITH POACHED EGGS.— Two
medium sized carrots, one medium sized turnip, one piece of
•celery, one core of a lettuce head, one onion; cut them into
pieces an inch long. Fry the onion in butter, not allowing it to

them separately a few minutes). After frying all slowly for a
few moments, season with a little salt and teaspoonful powdered
sugar. Moisten them with a gill of broth, boil until reduced
quite a good deal. ^ Now add two quarts of soup stock which
has been strained ; remove the stew-pan to back of the stove
so that the soup will boil partially. This soup is quite good
enough without eggs, yet they are a pleasant addition ; poach
them in salted water, turn them, and drop into soup-tureen
just as it goes to table. — Dubois.

you remove the ox- tail from the frying-pan put in these and
brown also. When done, tie them in a bag with a bunch of
thyme and drop into the soup-pot. Lay the pieces of ox- tail in
tlie same ; then the meat cut into small slices. Grate over
them the two whole carrots, and add four quarts of cold water
with pepper and salt. Boil from four to six hours in proportion
to the size of the tail ; strain fifteen minutes before serving it,
and thicken with two tablespoonf uls of browned flour. Boil
ten minutes longer. — Marion Harland.
GREEN PEA SOUP.— Cover a quart of green peas with

not browned. — Maria Parloa.
CREAM OF CELERY SOUP.— One pint milk, one table-
spoonful flour, one tablespoonful butter, one head of celery, a
large slice of onion, a small piece of mace. Boil celery in a
pint of water, from thirty to forty-five minutes ; boil mace,
onions, and milk together. Mix flour with two tablespoonfuls
of cold milk, and add to boiling milk ; cook ten minutes ; mash
celery in water in which it has been cooked, stir into boiling
milk, add butter, season with salt and pepper, strain, and serve
immediately. Flavor is improved by adding cup of whipped
cream when soup is in tureen. — Maria Parloa.

good sized marrow bone. Boil slowly six hours, cool and skim

SPINACH SOUP.— Two quarts spinach leaves boiled

FISH AND SHELL FISH.
TO BOIL FISH— All fish but salmon (which is put into
hot water to preserve its color) should be placed in salted, cold
water, with little vinegar or lemon juice in it, to boil.
Professionals never boil fish in anything but water satu-
rated with vegetables, called '^ court bouillon."
Mince a carrot, onion, piece of celery ; fry them in butter ;
add some parsley, pepper-corns, and four cloves. Pour on two
quarts of hot water, one pint of vinegar, let it boil half an hour,
skim, salt, and use it to boil fish in. Save this, for it can be
used several times.
Let the fish only simmer, not boil hard ; serve the fish on a
napkin, surrounded with parsley ; serve caper, or any kind of
fish sauce, in sauce-boat. — Dubois.
TO FRY FISH, it should always be immersed in hot lard
or drippings, always fat enough to cover the fish. If fat is very
hot, fish will not absorb any.
TO BROIL FISH, it should be well greased all over, then
it will not stick to the broiler. As soon as done, sprinkle salt
and pepper, and spread with butter, placing platter in oven a
few moments, so that the butter will soak into the fish.
BAKED FISH. — When cleaning the fish do not remove
head or tail. Stuff it, winding cord several times around fish.
Lay several pieces of pork, cut in strips, across the top.
Sprinkle pepper, salt, water, and bread crumbs, put hot water
in the pan, bake in hot oven, basting very often, or fish will
be very dry. Stuffing, pare three raw potatoes, chop fine one

Few Persons are Aware of the Fact
that the condition of their health
depends very much on the con-
dition of their sight ; that nervous
headaches, neuralgia of the head,
disorganized stomach, dizziness,
and a feeling of exhaustion after
reading, sewing, or looking intently at objects, either near or far, are most
always caused by defective eyesight.
Our Ocalfst Opticians, J. and W. Moses, have made this a
life-long study, and will give your eyes a thorough scientific test, thereby
determining their condition, and then, if necessary, furnish you with glasses
to relieve these troubles, giving you perfect vision and comfort.

The Art of Good Living.
How necessary it is that our modern hotels should be exponents of the
true art of living ! The St. Denis is a practical exemplification of thi$ great
principle, for here one can find not only the choicest viands the market
•affords, but also prepared and served in the most tempting and delicious
manner.
Its enlargement during the past two years by a commodious and hand-
some addition, in which no pains and expense were spared, is evidence of the
:growing popularity of this well-known house. In its appointments, decora-
tions, and modern equipments it is par excellence one of the leading hotels of
the metropolis, while the service and attendance are most admirable in every
detail and particular.
