Frogs'Legs.—Boilthem five minutesin water to which a tablespoon of lemon juice has been added. Take them from the hot water, pour cold water over them,and wipe them dry. Put two tablespoons of butter in the blazer, and cook them fifteen minutes with the pan covered. Reduce the heat, so they will not burn. They may be rolled in egg and fine bread or cracker crumbs. Serve with white sauce. He that is rich need not live sparingly; be that can live sparingly need not be rich. Hashed Brown Potatoes.—Two cups of chopped potato, one tablespoon of butter, one tablespoon of flour, salt and pepper. Mix the butter and flour in the blazer. When it is melted,add the chopped potato (cold boiled), stir the potato until it is thorougly heated,then allow it to cook without stirring until it is brown. Turn the potato on a hot plate,brown side up. To know how to eat well is a third part of wisdom.
