One pound flour, one pound sugar, four eggs, one teaspoon cloves, one of cinnamon, one-half pound citron, one cup blanched almonds, one-half teaspoon black pepper, one-half teaspoon salt.

ANGEL FOOD.
One gill flour, one and one-half gills sugar, the whites of eleven eggs, one teaspoon of cream tartar (just even full), one teaspoon of vanilla. Beat the eggs to a stiff froth, then add sugar after sifting twice; sift the flour five times and mix the cream tartar in it well; put a pan in the oven and set your tin on that, or it will bake too fast. Bake in a new tin and do not grease. Time one hour in a slow oven. A very nice and delicate cake.
Mrs. A. Prentice.
