KEEPING EGGs.--A citizen of Bel
mont, N. Y, has for forty years
been in the habit of keeping eggs
by taking them fresh from the nest
and greasing them with good lard
or butter, and setting them in a
cool, dry place, handling them
over once in a while to keep the
yolks from settling down to the
shell. With him they keep six
or eight months. We have had
best, in fact, perfect success, by
plunging the fresh eggs, few at a
time, held in a wire iadle, into a
kettle of boiling water, and keep
ing them there long enough TO
count ten-say five seconds. The
water must not stop boiling.-A
mericon Agricultarist.

How 10 Boil RICE.-Few per.
sons know how to boil rice prop
erly. It should be cooked SO that
the grains will remain separate
and distinct, but not hard, and the
whole be in some degree loose and
porous. The following is to the
point: Pick over the rice care
fully; rinse it well in cold
water till it is perfectly cleansed
drain off the water, then put in a
pot of boiling water, with a little
salt. Allow as much as a quart
of water to a teacup of rice, as it
always absorbs the water very
much while boiling. Boil it sew
enteen minutes, then turn the
water off very close; set the pot
over a. few Goals and let it steam
fifteen minutes with the lid of
the pot off. The beauty OF the
rice boiled in this way is that each
kernel stands out by itself, while
it is quite tender.

Management of Brooms.

management OF brOoHS.
If brooms are wet in boiling suds,
once a week, they will become
very tough, will not cut the car
pet, last much longer and always
sweep like a new broom. A very
dusty carpet may be cleaned by
setting a pail of cold water out by
the door, wet the broom in it,
knock it to get of all the drops,
sweep a yard or SO, then.wash the
broom as before and sweep again,
being careful to shake all the
drops of the broom, and not sweep
far at a time. If done with care it
will clean a carpet very nicely, and
you will be surprised at the guam.
ity of dirt in the water. The wa.
teri may need change once or twice,
if the carpet is very dusty. Snow
sprinkled over carpet and swept
of before it has time to melt and
dissolve, is also nice for renova-
ting a soiled carpet. Moistened
Indian meal is used with good eff
feet by some housekeepers.

The following method Of keep
ing milk fresh a long time, is said
to be extensively practised in the
vicinity Of Paris 1t consists mere
ly in adding to each quart of
fresh milk, before the cream has ris-
en- upon it, about six grains of bi.
carbonate of soda or potash, and
then placing the milk in bottles,
which are to be tightly corked
for four hours in a water bath
heated to q temperature of about
100 degrees, taking care not to GO
beyond this limit. When the bot
ties are removed from the bath,
they are TO be made perfectly tight
by coating the cork with wax, and
the milk can then be kept a long
time unchanged.

Measuring Land by Pa
cling.

Five PAGES are considered equal
to one lineal rod. A man hav.
ing long legs can easily go more
than rod at FIVE PAGES; while
a person with short legs would be
required to step much farther
than would be easy movement for
him, in order to measure one rod.
Let rod be measured of with a
rule; then let the person who pro-
posed to measure by pacing step a
rod ct five PAGES. After 3 little
practice, he can guage his steps
with sufficient accuracy to enable
him to measure any square piece
of land by pacing. FiE
ty PAGES will be equal to ten rods
an length. Andif the piece be for
~ PAGES vide, the distance Will
be equal to eight rods. Therefore
eight multiplied by ten will give the
number of square rods in the field.
We have then this simple rule !:
Ascertain the number of PAGES on
two sides of the piece of ground.
Divide the number by Eve, to as
certain the number of lineal rods.
Then multiply the number of rods
on one side by the number of rods
across one end; divide the pro-
duct by one hundred and sixty
the number of square rods in one
acre. BY this system OF measure
ment, the number of acres in a
square plot can be determined with
satisfactory accuracy.-Farnler.

Astronomical.

A curious and very rare planetary posi-
ton will occur on the Sth and 9th of next
month, to which no attention has hither-
To been called, and it seems To have cs-
capped the notice even of the complers OF
the Astronomical Ephemerides. For the
space of two whole days and five hours,
the planet Venus will be behind the sun
as viewed from any part of the earth's
surface. The planet is then on the fur
ther side of her orbit, and her relative
motion is only l51s minutes of arc daily,
while at the instant of conjunction she
will be within 4S seconds of arc of the
suns centre The bright planetary spot
will apparently touch the western edge OF
the sun at II o'clock, p. m, on the 9th OF
December, Chicago time, and emerge
from behind the solar disc, on its eastern
edge, at 4 o'clock on the morning OF the
9th. The phenomena of immersion and
EMERSON will not be visible at Chicago,
the sun being below our horizon on both
occasions, but the two bodies may be seen
through the telescope as almost in con
tact late in the afternoon of the 9th and
early in the morning of the 9th of Decem-
Der The emersion will be visible in
Europe. The phenomenon is about as
rare as the transit of the same planet
across the suns disc, which occurs only
once on the average in ssh years. The
next transit will occur in December, 1874.
