T’lK negro debating dub r.t Sulphur Sjirings, Texas, discussed thq ouestion: “WJien a watermelon vine runs onto another man’s land, who is the owner of the watermelon ?”

AH appetizing dish appeared on oar table the other day called on the mefiu “smothered heart with lemon sauoe.* It was made of slices of beef heart cooked in a very little water until tender, then dipped in flour and nicely browned in butter. The sauce was of flour, butter and hot water, and was flavored with lemon. This is to be served as an entree only, and not to take place of the roast, which forms the pleoe de resistance at the ordinary dinner. Cabbage pickled thus will help save the cucumber pickles: Select a nice, firm head, and remove the outside leaves, cut it into two parts and shave it very fine, place it in a jar, sprinkle pepper and salt over, then chop two red peppers and two heads of celery very fine and put in, then about two tablespoonfuls of white mustard seed. Pour cold vinegar over it, cover with a plate and put a weight on it to keep the cabbage under the vinegar. This will be good to eat in about a week. Fish Balls.—One pint pared potatoes, chopped small, one-half pint raw salt fish, torn into small pieces and put in cold water, Put the potatoes in a kettle, and the fish on top, covered with boiling water; cook until the potatoes are soft. Drain off the water, mash the fish and potatoes together iu the kettle. Add pepper, salt if needed, also one egg well beaten; one teaspoonful butter. Drop tablespoonful into frying basket and plunge into hot fat. Don’t turn them. Lejion Pie.— Boil together for five minutes three tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, one saltspoonlul of salt, one and a half cups of sugar, and one pint of boiling water. Add the juice and grated rind of two lemons. Set aside to cool; when cool add the beaten yolks of four eggs, then stir in the whites of the eggs, beaten stiff. Bake with only an undercrust. The pie will have all the lightness and delicacy of an omelet, with the most exquisite flavor. It should be served the same day it is baked. Call and examine the sf • k f prints at Fendig’s.
