Green turtle can now be purchased preserved in air-tight cans.

_Force Meat Balls for the Above._--Six tablespoonfuls of turtle meat
chopped very fine. Rub to a paste, with the yolk of two hard-boiled
eggs, a tablespoonful of butter, and, if convenient, a little oyster
liquor. Season with cayenne, mace, half a teaspoonful of white sugar
and a pinch of salt. Bind all with a well-beaten egg; shape into small
balls; dip in egg, then powdered cracker; fry in butter, and drop into
the soup when it is served.


MACARONI SOUP.

To a rich beef or other soup, in which there is no seasoning other
than pepper or salt, take half a pound of small pipe macaroni, boil it
in clear water until it is tender, then drain it and cut it in pieces
of an inch length; boil it for fifteen minutes in the soup and serve.


TURKEY SOUP.

Take the turkey bones and boil three-quarters of an hour in water
enough to cover them; add a little summer savory and celery chopped
fine. Just before serving, thicken with a little flour (browned), and
season with pepper, salt and a small piece of butter. This is a cheap
but good soup, using the remains of cold turkey which might otherwise
be thrown away.
