SAUCE FOR PUDDING. -One half cup boiling water, one tablespoon corn starch, two tablespoonsful vinegar, one tablespoonful of butter, one cup sugar, one-half nutmeg.

FLOATING ISLAND. - Put a quart of milk over to boil, sugar, salt, and flavouring to taste ; separate three eggs ; beat the whites to a stiff froth; drop them in the boiling milk from a tablespoon, letting them remain half a second; then take two tablespoonsful and one half of corn starch; put it into the boiling milk; let it remain five minutes, then add the yolks ; let it then boil two minutes, and take it off to cool; then place it in a glass dish; drop the whites upon it with a spoonful of currant jelly on each.
