tablespoons of butter in a sauce- pan, add vinegar and 1 well beaten egg; stir well together, and add the leaves from 2 large heads of lettuce, cover, and let it steam until the lettuce is well wilted; serve hot. VEGETABLES 233 Lettuce is snppoeed to be a native of the East Indies, but it has been cultiva- ted in Europe from very early times. It is wholesome and has a particularly pleasant taste. It is said to have a sedative action on the nervous system, which allays pain and induces sleep. Those who have no tendency to apoplexy, and who are troubled with wakefulness may be recommended to eat lettuce at supper. It contains little nutriment, being d6% water.

After breaking it into suitable lengths put it into plenty of boiling water, slightly salted, and boil actively until it is done; most cook books say to boil it 15 to 20 minutes, but you will find it better if you boil it ^ to f hour, but do not boil it too long or it will logiB its nutritive qualities; then drain in a colander, pour on cold water, which will prevent its sticking, then spread the strips beside each other and cut them all at once into pieces about an inch long, which is better than leaving them in unweildy lengths. BAKED MACARONI — Boil and prepare as above directed; then butter a baking^dish, put in the macaroni, cover with bread crumbs, pour a little melted butter on top, bake in a moderate oven 5 min- utes, and serve. FRIED MACARONI — Boil the macaroni as above, and grate cheese. Take the cold macaroni, make it into little balls with the cheese, egg and bread-crumb them, and fry in smoking hot fat to a rich brown. MACARONI WITH CHEESE.— Boil i lb. and prepare as above directed; then make a sauce with 1^ cups hot milk, and 1 tablespoon each of butter and flour, and salt to taste. Then in the bottom of the baking^dish put a layer of grated cheese, put on a layer of maca- roni, and cover with the sauce; then other layers of cheese, macaroni and sauce; put fine bread crumbs
