To Make Oil Mangoes

Put the mangoes in strong brine for five days. Wash them, and remove the seed. Stuffing for the same. 1 1/2 pound white mustard-seed. 1/4 pound pounded ginger. 1/2 pound black pepper, pounded. 4 tablespoonfuls celery-seed. 3 ounces mace.

Mix these ingredients with as little oil as possible, stuff the mangoes with it, adding scraped horseradish and one blade of garlic. Pour cold vinegar over them, and pound salt. Press the mangoes under the vinegar, and watch them closely. It is well to scald the vinegar in the spring.--Mrs. H. T.
