 Select 50 tiny cucumbers.  Wash.  Cover with cold
 water.  Handle as little as possible to avoid bruises.
 Let stand 2 hours. Drain. Cover with boiling water to
 which 3/4 cup salt has been added. Cover and let stand
 2 days. Drain.  Discard all cucumbers that are not
 solid and in good condition. Pack in sterilized jars.
 Cover with the following pickling liquid, which should
 be hot but not boiling:  To sufficient vinegar to
 cover the pickles add 3 chopped green peppers, 1/4 cup
 salt, 6 whole allspice, 6 peppercorns, 1 1/2 sticks
 cinnamon, 1 blade mace, 1 bay leaf, 1 small onion,
 minced, and 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard seed. Pickles
 will be ready for use after 8 weeks. The Household
