The experiment is simple. and can be tried

Of pure alum in quart Of soft spring water,

adapted for the purpose. into which the solution
must be poured. The respective articles should
remain in: the solution twenty-fOur hours
when they are taken out they are to be
carefully suspended in the shade until per-
ieetly dry. When the subjects to be crys-
talized are put into the solution while it is
quite cold, the crystals are ap: TO be formed
too large; on the other hand should it be too
hot, the crystals will be smallin proportion.-
The best temperature is about e5 deg. of
Fahrenheits thermometer. Among vegetable
specimens that may be operated on are the
moss rose Of the gardens, ears Of corn. espe-
cially millet-seed, and the bearded wheat, ber-
ries Ofthe holly, fruit of the SLOW bush, the hya-
sinth, pink, furze blossoms, ranunculus, gar
den daisy, and great variety Of others; in
fact. there are few subjects in the vegetable
world that aie not eligible to this mode of
preservation. The fitness Of the solution for
the purpose may be ascertained by putting a
drop OF it on a slip Of glass, and seeing if it
crystalizes as it cOols, if so, the solution is
sufficiently strong. Then twist round a sprig
of plant, cinder,a wire ornament Of any kind,
some cotton, or still better, some worsted. AT
ter being immersed as already directed, the
surface fthe whole will be found covered with
beautiful crystalizations.

do not believe that health is promoted by eat

secure long life, it is necessary to turn a can

Nor is It necessary, in order to shun the err
rorsof which we speak, to rush into the oppo-
site extreme. Good cookery does not consist
in producing The highest seasoned dishes, nor
such as to foster morbid appetite but in pre-
pairing every dish well, however simple or com.
mon it may be. There are, for II stance, fami-
lies who never eat any good bread from one
century to another, and have no idea in what II
consists. Nor are meats cooked any better in
their precincts. Those little, simple, ,and healthy
delicacies, which the good house keeper knows
intuitively how to produce, are never seen here.

We would only hint to young ladies' who may
