SWEET MACARONI. Drop gently into a pint and a half of new milk, when it is boiling fast, four ounces of fine pipe macaroni, add a grain or twTo of salt, and some thin strips of lemon or orange rind : cinnamon can be sub- stituted for these when preferred. Simmer the macaroni by a gentle fire until it is tolerably tender, then add from two to three ounces of sugar broken small, and boil it till the pipes are soft, and swollen to their full size ; drain, and arrange it in a hot dish ; stir the milk quickly to the well-beaten yolks of three large, or of four small eggs
