the fire until white and quite stiff. This should take at least three-quarters of an hour. Remove from the range, beat quick- ly for say two minutes, and add a teaspoonful of vanilla. Pour into a tin pan previously dusted with corn starch, and set aside to cool. Cut into squares when cold, and roll each square in corn starch and put away in tin boxes.
Moravian Mint Cakes. — The following recipe was brought from Moravia by the Moravian nuns when they came to this country to avoid persecution prior to the lading of William Penn, settling at Litiz, Pa. It has never been in print, having been closely guarded within Moravian families ever since. One pound of pulverized or confectiones' sugar, three table- spoonfuls water and five drops oil of peppermint (essence of peppermint will not do). Mix half the sugar with the water in a porcelain lined saucepan; put on the fire and stir until it boils up. Take at once from the fire and stir into it the remain- ing sugar and the oil of peppermint. When thoroughly mixed, return to the fire and let it boil up again. Remove at once from the fire and pour into tin patty-pans, or drop on greased stiff paper to make cakes the size of a dollar. The pans should not be greased. If allowed to more than just boil, it will show clear, and be spoiled. When properly made it is a creamy white con- fection, and is especially nice for children, being pure and wholesome.
