% Douse, Jot aub (Sarhit. Worth Noting. The advice to those in fear of cholera is, keep your bowels in good order; keep your spirits up, but never pour spirits down. Eat regularly ; never eat voluptuously ; never eat just before sleeping; never eat just before sitting sitting down to hard study. Keep your feet warm ; two pairs of thin socks worn at once are better than one pair of thick ones. Never wear a hat in the house. Why are ladies’ heads seldom bald ? Because their heads are never closely covered. Caps which fit closely to the head are less health ful than hats. In wearing either hats or caps, lift them frequently from the head, in order to secure a change of air. If you arc troubled with cold feet in bed, use a hot brick, or liot iron, or a bottle of hot water, or something better to prevent. The Vine. —The vine is one of the most extensively diffused of plants, and in this re spect is a beautiful emblem of the univer sal spread of the Christian Church. Its early history is involved in obscurity. It is as old as the human race. Its cultivation was probably among the ealiest efforts of hu man industry. It is first introduced to our notice as the cause of Noah’s shameful drunkenness, and as one of the articles hos pitably offered by Melehizedek to Abraham. It is believed to be originally a native of the hilly region on the southern shores of the Caspian Sea, and the Persian province of Ghilan. The Jews have a tradition that it was first planted by God’s own hand on the fertile slopes of Ilebron. Certainly the climate of the hill country of Judea suits it so admirably that we may well believe it to be indigenous there. It was from the Ju dean valley of* Eschol that the spies carried away the gigantic cluster of grapes. Every traveler who has visited this region testifies to the luxuriance of its vines, and the large size and luscious taste ofthe grapes. Vine yards abound there more than in any other part of Palestine; and the earliest and latest heraldic symbol of Judah, both in the pro-* phetical and evangelical records, is a “fenced vineyard on a hill of olives.” Prom this, its native region, thevine has been gradually introduced into othevcountries. Its pro gressive cultivation, and removal by wander iug tribes and conquerors from one part of the earth to another, associates it in a very remarkable degree with the history of the human race. Cultivated Chestnuts. —Chestnuts, like apple trees, may be easily raised from the seed and afterwards transplanted. In order to do this, select from a quantity of fresh chestnuts, just shaken from the tree, a sufficient number of the fairest; place them nip mould or finely sifted earth, and hide away in a secure place in the cellar till spring. When the weather has become sufficiently mild, remove the nuts from their seclusiou and plant them in a warm soil in , rows about four feet apart, placing over them a covering of not more than half an inch of fine dirt. Iloeing will be found very bene ficial to the growth of the young sprout. During the second year, the tap-root should be severed with a sharp spade; lateral roots will then put forth, and the shrub will bet ter bear transplanting the following year. If set out in a field where it will be exposed to the browsing of cattle, it must be protect ed by a guard box until out of their reach. This, like any other tree, will flourish better when cultivated and manured, but grows luxuriantly without attention when planted . upon congenial soil. How Salt Fisii Should be Freshen ed. —Many persons who arc in the habit of freshening mackerel or other salt fish, never dream that there is a right and a wrong way to do it. Any person who has seen the pro cess of evaporation going on at the salt works, knows that the salt falls to the bottom. I Just so it is in the pan where your mackerel ■ orwhiteflsh lies soaking; and, as it lies with the skin side down, the salt will fall to the Mskin, and there remain, when, if placed with the flesh side down, the salt falls to the bot tom of the pan, and the fish conies out fresh ened as it should be. Iu the other case, it is nearly as salt as when put in. If you do not believe this,.'test the matter for your selves. Pork Steak. —Cut slices from the loin bx neck. To fiy pork steaks requires twen ty-five or thirty minutes. Turn them often. If they are not quite fat, pour off all that fries out when they are half done , and re serve it for some other use. llien dip the Bl eaks in crumbs of bread with a little pow dered and lay them back into ttie fiy ino' pan.'’ When done through take them up, dredge a little browned flour into the gravy, put in salt, pour in a gill of boiling water, and turn it instantly as it boils up upon the of steak. % + • *■ —— * Potato Yeast.— Boil one handful of hops in two quarts of water half an hour, 'fc'traiu it, and return the tea to the kettle. Have ready grated eight large potatoes, or nine srpall ones, which stir into the tea. Let it boil a minute or two, and it will thick en to a batter. When nearly cold, add half a pint of good yeast. Let it ferment well, then put it into a jar and coyer close. Al ways shake or stir before using it. Use a poicelain kettle Tor making this yeast, or an iron one'tinned inside. A common iron one Will turn it dark. Best Gravy.— Put two tablespoonfuls of fat, a pound of meat, an onion and a car rot sliced, and a little broth on the fire. the meat is well fried water is to be added. It is impossible to make good gra- vy without carrot and onion, as each con tains sugar, which gives the gravy a pleas ant flavor. The volatile oil of the onion evap orates while frying, so that the gravy has no pungent taste or smell. # Burnt Sugar Soup.—A lecturer in this city told his pupils a few days since how to prepare burnt sugar which is so much used in soup to give it a brown color. Sugar was put in an old ladle and set upon the coals until it became brown. Cold water was put in and allowed to boil up, and then the whole was strained. Gingerbread. —Some ladies wish to make it without sour milk, or eggs. Here is the way : “ Put one teaspoonfull of soda iu a teacup; putin five tablespoonfuls of hot water, four of melted shortening, then fill the cup with molasses. This makes one tin. A heaping teaspoonful of ginger in the flour. Make it rather stiffer than you would if eggs weie used. ” r Treating a Burn. —lt is said that by laying a piece of charcoal upon a burn the pain subsides immediately. By leaving the charcoal upon the wound one hour, it will be healed, as has been demonstrated on sev eral occasions. The remedy is cheap ans simple, and certainly deserves a trial. To* Make a Superior Yeast, Take one dozen medium-sized Irish potatoes, boil and mash fine; add one cup of white sugar, and one quart of hot water ; let this stand five to ten minutes; then add one quart of cold water and one half pint yeast, and bottle off. Use a half pint of this liquid yeast for a large loaf of bread. liutter and lard should not be kept in the same apartment with kerosene, as all fats readi ly absorb and retain odors, and the fine aroma ot butter may thus be seriously injured.
