CHICKEN JELLY.-For chicken Jelly,
take large chicken, cut il up into small
pieces, bruise the bones, and put the whole
into stone jar with cover that will make
il water tight. Set the jar in large ket-
tie of boiling water, ana keep it boiling
for three hours. Then strain of the IL
quid, and season it slightly with salt, pep
per, and mace, or with loaf sugar and le-
mon juice, according to the taste of the
person for whom it is intended. Return the
fragments of the chicken to the jar, aud
set it again in kettle Of boiling water.
You will find that you can collect nearly
as much jelly from the second boiling.
This Jelly may be made of an old fowl.
CHICKEN CHOLERA.-We recently visl-
ted poultry yard where there had for
merly been great mortality from chicken
cholera, which was entirely checked by
confining the chickens to lime water as
their only drink. We observed water
trough in the yard, in which lime had
been Stacked, and there was no access To
other water. The manager stated to us,
that he had not lost one since adopting
this plan, and oyer 100 up to the time OF
commencing it,. So simple remedy Ia
we'll worth farther trial. Lime water is
often n corrective of the stomach aud bow

The most profitable feed for cows giving
milk during winter, and that used ia
nearly ali the best dairies for producing
milk for New York market, is a good
quality of wheat bran aud corn meal,
mixed up as follows: Eight pounds of
bran aud two of corn meal for each COW
daily. If the above can DC thoroughly
cooked with cut hay, it increases its value
about one-fifth by actual experiment.

John Ray, the temperance lecturer, IN
one of his efforts, got OF the following hard
hit at moderate drinkers: "
'All those who in youth acquired habit
OF drinking whisky, al forty years will bo
total abstaiuers or drunkards. No person
can Use whisky for years with moderation.
If there is person in the audience before
me whose experience disputes this, let him
make II known. I will account for it or
acknowledge l am mistaken"
A tall, large man arose, and folding bis
arms across his breast, said:
II offer myself US one whoee experience
contradicts your statements"

the judge.

"Well," remarked the Judge, scanning
his subject from head to foot, "yours is

Some Of .he fish ate it and became drunk

this way he easily caught a large number.
But in the stream was large fish very un-

darkey to take it. lie resolved to take it
at all hazards, that he might learn its name

THE DELUGE.-A Confirmation Of tie
Bible Story from Cholduic Sources. We
have received from the accomplished disco
verer, Mr.. George Smith, Of the British
Musem the subjoined most interesting ac-
count of the record OF the deluge, which,
as we announced day or two ago, he has
lately deciplered from the Assyriun monu-
ments
The cuneiforn inscriptions which I
nave fecsut,H S,-"a "nd trans!a ted gives
contains the version Of tradition of this
event which existed in the early Chaldean
period at the city of Erech Tone of the cities
Of Nimrod), now represented by the ruins
of Warka. In this newly discovered in
scription the account of the Deluge is put
as a narrative into the mouth Of Xisuthrus
or Noah. lie relates the wickedness or the
world, the command to build the ark, is
building, the filling OF it, the Deluge, the
resting Of the ark on the mountain, the
sending out Of the birds and other matters.
The narrative has closer resemblance tO
the account transmitted by the Greeks
| from Bcrosus, the Chaldean historian, than
/ to the Biblical history, but it does not diff
fer materially from either. The principal
differences are as to the duration of the
Deuge, the usme of the mountain on which
the ark rested, the sending out Of the birds,
&c. The cuneiform accounts much longer
and fuller than that of Berosus, and
has several details omitted both by the BIZ
| BILE and the Chaldeau historian. This in
scrirtion opens up many questions ofwhich
we knew nothing previously, and it is con-
nected with number Of other details Of
Chaldean history which will be both inter-
esting and important. This is the first
time any inscription has been found with
, an account OF an event mentioned In Gene
sis. London Telegraph.
