Method: Scald the milk and melt the butter with it, pour this on the eggs well beaten, add the salt and then the vinegar, this last slowly, and stir all the time. Then cook in a pot in hot water, until as thick as custard, when cold add the mustard.—Prepared mustard is made as follows: two tablespoons mustard, one teaspoon sugar, half a teaspoon salt, enough boiling water to mix. Half this quantity is enough for ordinary use. The above recipe is also good for chicken.
EGGS.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Could not set Humpty Dumpty back again.

Try the freshness of eggs by putting them into cold water; those that sink the soonest are the freshest.
Never attempt to boil an egg without watching the time-piece. Put the eggs in boiling water. In three minutes eggs will be boiled soft; in four minutes the white part will be cooked; in ten minutes they will be hard enough for salad.
