the horse does not get over it in fifteen or
twenty minutes, then | say i know moth

never known it to fail. | first learned it

EGGS COOKED HYGIENICALIY.-Hard
boiled eggs have always been considered
more difficult of digestion than soft-boiled
ones. The reason is this: the white OF
an egg is almost pure albumen. Now al
bul1en coagulates with heat, and is not SO
readily acted on by the gastric juice; SC
that much of it passes from the stomach
undigested. Persons with vigorous diges'
ton may manage hard-boiled egg so as
to extract most of the nourishnent from
it, if it be well masticated and mixed with
other food The yelk of the eggs, howev.
ers is not rendered worse by hard boiling,
Eggs boiled just four minutes have the
white part in partly fiocculent condition
more. easily digested, and not SO soft as to
be offensive to any one. An egg may be
cooked in water at a temperature of about
1862 Fahrenheit for fifteen minutes anG
leave the yclk well cooked, but the white
will not be rendered tough and hard to di
gest. Though more troublesome, it is {
good way to cook an egg to render it easy
of digestion as well as palatable. Persons
whose palates win not tolerate a soft
boiled egg should have them poached anC
dropped on toast.-Hatrs Journal O
