MISCELLANEOUS.
From the Genessee Farmer.
IS d SOUR aKROUT, -

Mr.. Tucker---Thc manner of preparing this
article OF food, is not as generally known as Its
value entities it to be and with desire to
extend it to the benefit of your readers, i have
written this for publication in your paper.
In the fall, after we have had two or three
freezing nights, collect as many solid heads
of cabbage as you wish TO preserve, salt up,
(say fifty for family of six or eight persons,)
take off all the green and imperfect leaves, cut
each head lengthwise through the heart, and
cut,that clean ont. A cabbage knife should
now be procured on which the cabbage should
be cut fine, and a strong cedar or other barrel,
previously well soaked and cleaned at hand,
the bottom of which to.be 7laid over with cab
bage leaves ;sand salt now to be well mixed
with portions of the cabbage in the proportion
Of d pint Of the former to a heqped bushel of
the latter, and these gradually packed in the
barrel by gently stamping witha suitable wood
en-, rammer, When the barrel is, n5arly full it
should be placed in a cool dry celler on boards,
the bottom secured from pressing out a bar
rel head or pieces of boards laid on the top OF
the cabba ge, and heavy weight laid on them:
In week or ten days the pickle should cover
the cabbage, or a weak brine must be prepared
and poured over, when fermentation will com
mence; and from this time to the end OF the
season, once aweek, the froth should be skim
med off and the boards, weight, and sides Of
the barrel cleanly washed. AT the end of two
weeks it will be fit TO cook; and much ofits
savory and salutary qualities depends on this,
will describe the mannerl do it. | take up
at a time as much as will make two messes,
(as warming up what is left the next day is no
injury to it,) put it in tin boiler with piece
Of fat pork; and, if / haveit, spoonful or two
ofgoose or other dripping, and just sufficient
water to boil it nearly dry over smart fire IN
three hours. Boiled potatoes, should always be
eaten along with sour krout, as alone it is too
fat, cooked in this manner, to make a meal
The potatoes are better boiled in separate
vesselbut they can be boiled with the krout;
though very apt to get heavy. Sour krout
should be all used before the approach of warm
weather, as the quantity Of salt here recon-
mended is too small preserve it. 'W'hen'it
is intended to be used on ship boardina warm
er climate, more salt is necessary, and in that
case it should be rnsed or soaked in fresh wa
ter before Cooking. WINTER DIET.

LEAN AND FAT.--We are decided admirers
ofleanness. Our greatest characters are usu-
ally little, attenuated men; stomachess, mea-

lectuallst is a contradiction in terms pal
lpable catechresis. One might as well talk of
a. pot-bellled spirit. Obesity is deadly foe to
genius; in carneeus and unwieldy bodies the

poseris very fat: Theodore Hook tile wit is We
ry decidedly corpulent; John Quincy Adams
lsany thing but meagre and lath like; Daniel
Webster will pass very well for stout man; !;
Bonaparte was more like barrel than bean
pole; Walter Scott had very respectable cor
poraton; and it is notorious that the greatest
aldermen are always the fattest.--.N Com.

We sgive it up, as to the Aldermen; and
knock under to Sir John Falstaff, : SO fat wit
ted, with drinking of old sack, and unbuttonng
after supper, and sleeping on the benches till
afternoon, that lie could mt even keep the time
of day; and we have nothing to say for the
musician, whom Byron in paroxysm of deris-
ion pronounced the fattest hog in Epicurus'
sty' But we take issue with our worshipful
friends as to all the rest, and insist that eobesi-
! ty is deadly foe to eenius; and we return
Messrs. Irving, Hamboldt, Hook, SC. upon
him as so many weighty arguments to our pur-
pose for they have done nothing worthy of

Thet truth is that nothing fat yet ever enlght-

Il , EGYPTIAN MUMMEs Mr.. Buckingham
gives it his as opinion that there are not less
than one hundred millions Of ofmummies entomb-
ed in Egypt, and he describes three singular
uses that are now made ofthem. ar
Is For fue. The peasantry Of Egypt procure
them, break them in pieces, and use them for
fuel-and as they have little OF no wood those
dead human bodies serve them in its stead.
Theresneus matter and spices which were
used in embalming them render them quite in
Aammable, and the odor which is given out at
the period Of burning, is said to be quite de-
lightful. iasr Cd 5ia ef. t.-l
For Medlcal1purposes--In most of the boz
dies there is found solid portions ofthe bitu-
men or resinous drug which was used in en-
balming. This is taken out OF the bodies and
sold inIarge quantities to Merchants at Cairo,
and from thence it is sent to Portugal, Italy,
France and England, even, where it is pulveri-
sed by the ppothecares, done up in small pa
pers, and sold asa most excellent drug to cure
inward bruises. And for this purpose hund-
reds of pounds of this stuff, is eaten every
year, taken from the inside of Egyptian mum
mics.
The otheruse made Of fthemis for painting.
A celebrated Painter in England Informed Mr..
Buckingham that the. backbone of the Egyp-
tian mummy, when it is ground sufficiently fine,
made the most excellent brown color Of any
material known.
