Tomatoes.
Nice ripe ones treated in the same way, first squeezing out their extra juices, are also nice.
Honey, Artificial. —" Polly Anthus, " of El Dora, Ill, informs the Blade Household to make it as follows:
"Take water, 11/2 pts.; heat it till ready to boil; then put in pulverized alum, 1/3 oz, and when that is dissolved pour in white sugar 4 lbs., stirring till dissolved; then continue to boil 2 or 3 minutes. Put 5 drops of rose oil (oil of rose) into alcohol 1/2 pt and while the syrup is hot put in 2 tea-spoonfuls of this alcohol and you have 51/2 lbs. of nice white honey. "
Remarks. —The editor asked. "Does 'Polly Anthus' mean 5 drops of the burning fluid known as ' rose oil'? " Of course she did not, it was oil of rose, as I have indicated above, that she meant. For the kind of gasoline known as " rose oil" is not at all fit for such flavoring. That is referred to in Renovating Gloves, etc. The extract of rose, now much used in flavoring dishes, in like amount or a larger amount of rose water, a table-spoonful for a tea-spoonful will do very nicely. Oil of rose is quite expensive, still its flavor comes nearer to that of honey than any other.
