FIBERLESS COCOANUT. A very palateable preparation from cocoa- nut. It comes in tins at moderate cost. It is adapted for the table as a fruit or nut butter and is also used in icecream, layer cake, meringue pie, custard, icing &c. It is said to contain all the nutriment and fla- \or of the cocoanut without the fiber and is digestible. It was patented in 1892, but

"HARMLESS MINCE PIES."

The Woman's Home Companion ^vbWshes a recipe for what it calls ' ' Harmless Mince Pies" among the ingredients of which are beef, beef suet, aqt. of brandy and lots of spices. We humbly offer to amend with the following :

6 good sized lemons J^ lb of apples, i lb. of stoned raisins, i lb. each of currants and sugar, yi lb. of fresh butter, 3 oz. each of candied lemon and orange. Grate off the yellow rind, cut the lemons in two, squeeze out the juice. Boil the rinds till tender, but not soft, changing the waters times and put a tablespoon of salt in the water in which they are first boiled. When done, drain the water from them and take out the seeds and pulp. Chop them, with the raisins, in a wooden bowl. Add thecurrants, thesugar, the apples (previously chopped fine), the grated rind of the lemons, the juice, a pinch of cayenne, a small teaspoon each of mace and cinnamon, 12 drops of almond fiavor, the candied orangeand lemon, cut in thin slices; and lastly, the butter, melted and stirred well in.

This we guarantee will be more palateable and harmless, while it will not shock our total abstinence readers. FRENCH BREAD MAKING PROCESS.

A French bread making process consists in soaking the grain and passing it success- ively through a crushing and a kneading machine, which converts it directly into dough. This contains the fiiU nutritive valueof the grain, and it is claimed, can be kept indefinitely.

AN IDEAL THANKSGIVING,

Mr. G, G. Held of St. Louis, in sending us the beautiful poem which appears on pre- ceeding page, wrote: "The various jour- nals have been filled with illustrations and writings on the subject of Thanksgiving dinners, and in jesting about the poor turkey killed on that occasion, making it appear as though our kind heavenly Father was a bloodthirsty God,towhom sacrifices of life had to be made in order to thank Him, and as one looks in vain in the daily papers for an ideal Vegetarian Thanksgiving, I submit the enclosed lines.
