LABOR CONDUCIVE TO Lone LIFE.
In view of the short duration of life
entailed by some occupations, it must
be regarded as consoling, yet a sub
lime fact, that labor in general does not
tend to shorten life but, on the con.
trary, by Strengthening health, length
ems life while on the other hand, idle>
ness and luxury are productive of the
same results as the most unhealthy
occupations. DIR. Guy, an Euglishman.
in calculating the average duration of
life among the wealthy classes, arrived
at the very surprising result with re
gard to adults, that the higher the po-
sition in the social scale, the more un,
limited their means, the less the proba-
bility of long life
We have SO long been accustomed to
consider the possession Of riches as the
best guarantee for physical welfare, that
many will be surprised to hear that the
probability of the duration Of life les
sens, with regard to adults in each class
of the population, in the same degree
as the beneficial impulse for occupation
is lacking. If a person who for long
time has lived in active life retires from
business, it may be taken for granted,
with probability of ten to one, that
he had seized the most effective means
20 shorten life. We may smile at the
soapmaker who, after having formally
retired from business, went, neverthe-
less, on each day of soap boiling in his
workshop; but it must also be acknow.
lodged that his instict did not mislead
him. Of all conditions Of life, idleness
is hardest for nature to combat; and
this is especially true of persons who
have accustomed themselves to busy
life.

THE HOUSEKEEPER.

How TO Cook OLD FOwLs.-For the
possible benefit Of some other young house
keepers, | wish TO tell them bow to cook
an old chicken. Prepare as for roasting,
then boil three hours in a covered pot. with
one quart of water, to which add two table
spOOnfuls Of vinegar after which put in a
pan. in a hot oven, for about one hour, TO
brown The liquor in the pot to be pre-
pared for gravy ; should the water boil
away too much, more should be added. The
result ~, the meat is AZ tender az young
chicken, and some think richer and better.
BAKED POrAToEs Potatoes are more
nutritious baked than they are cooked in
any other manner; and they relish better
with those who have not been accustomed
to eat them without seasoning. Wash
them clean, bat do not soak them. Bake
them as quickly as possible without burning
in the least. As soon as they are done,
press each potato in a cloth so as to crack
the skin and allow the steam to escape. If
this is omitted the best potatoes will not be
mealy. They should be brought immedi-
ately to the table, as they will soon become
solid and lose their flavor
How TO Skin and STEW A RABBI
