Lemon Floating Island. — Take half a dozen fresh eggs, separate the whites and the yolks ; beat the whites to a solid froth, sweeten them, and fla- vor with two or three drops of the es- sence of lemon. Beat the yolks, mix them with a pint and a half of milk, flavor with lemon, and stir the custard over a gentle fire until it thickens, but it must not boil. When nearly cool, add very gradually a table-spoonful of lemon juice
