ACCIDENTAL POIsoNING.--Whe hen poison
has been accidentally taken, medical aid
should be instantly sought. AS minutes
may be OF value, however, prompt measures
may be adopted in those which must in
tervene until it arrives, and the following
is recommended: In poisoning from lau-
danum, opium, henbane, paragoric, sooth-
lng-syrup. syrup OF popples, bad fish, poi
sonous mushrooms, poisonous seed or
plants, or indeed almost any vegetable SUBJ
stance. the first thing to be done is to
empty the stomach with an emetic. This
may be made by mixing tablespoonful of
musturd or salt with cupfull of warm
water, and repeating the dose until there
is free vomiting. In all narcotic poison
the person should on DO account be allow
| to go to sleep, or he may never awake.
| F or all strong acids, such as oil of vitrol,
muriatic, nitric and oxalic acids, put an
ounce of calcined magnesia into pint of
water, and take wine-glassful every
two minutes. If this is not attainable,
dissolve half an ounce of soap into half
pint of water, and give wine-glassful
every four minutes. Magnesia or chalk may
be taken if lucifer matches are swallowed.
For arsenic, which is found in rat or YER
min poisons and ague-drops, empty the
stomach by an emetic of ten grains of sui
plate of zinc, if it can be had; if not, mus
tard and warm water. Give large quanti-
titles of both milk and raw eggs, or, failing
in these, flour and water, both before and
after the vomiting. For mercury in all its
forms-corrosive sublimate, vermillion,
red precipitate, calomel-the whites Of
twelve eggs should be beaten up in two
pints of water, and wine-glassful given
every three minutes. If the patient vomits
all the better. If the eggs cannot imme-
diately be obtained, use flour and water or
milk. For prEssic acid, which is often
found in almond flavor, sal volatile and
water and stimulants may be given.
beef, lard it with bacon; then make a
dressing of bread, butter, sweet herbs,
onion. parsley, salt and pepper, and stuff in
around the bone and in several places in
the lean part: skewer it and bind it close
with tape, have ready deep pot, put the
beef into it and cover it with water, stew
it foul. or five hours, haste it contantly
with the gravy. and turn it into the pot
when done, place it upon dish and gar
nish it with forcemeat balls, parsley and
carrots, then pour the gravy over it.
YEAST WITHOUT YEAsT.-Boil three
ounces of hops in two quarts Of water ten
minutes, in tin, granite or iron; add two
coffee-cups of sugar and two Of flour; wet
in enough water to get out all the Jumps;
add three tablespoonful of salt and three
Of ginger; strain in a jar, and let it stand
three days in warm place; stir very often;
then add two pounds boiled potatoes, and
wait one more day, and you will have yeast
that is good and will keep long time.
Use one teacupful for six loaves of bread.
MARKS OF MATCHES.-TO clean off the
ugly scratches left on paint by lighting
matches upon it cut sour orange or lem
on in half; apply the cut half to the marks,
rubbing for a moment quite hard; then
wash off with clean rag, dipped first in
water to moisten it, and then in whiting.
Rub well with this rag, dry thoroughly,
and nine times out of ten the ugly marks
will vanish. Of course, sometimes they
they are burned in so deeply that they can
not be quite eradicated.
EXCELLENT SALAD DREssING.-Y olks
Of four eggs well beaten, one teaspoonful
white sugar, one teaspoonful salt, one
small saltspoonful cayenne, two teaspoons
full made mustard, six tablespoonful
salad oil or melted butter, five tablespoons
full vinegar. Boil until as thick as cream;
let it cool before using. Nice for cold boil
ed potatoes chopped fine. Some like half
an onion chopped fine and added.
SMOKY CHIMNEYs- with smoky
chimneys, caused by their being used for
two or more stoves, may be averted in
most cases by inserting vertically in the
due piece of sheet-iron, so as to divide
the fiue in the centre for about two feet
above the point where each pipe enters,
and turning the bottom of the sheet iron
under the pipe, so as to shut it completely
off from the part Of the fue below it.
SALT FOR BEDBUGs.-To get rid Of bed
bugs wash the room and the furniture of
the room they frequent with salt water,
and you may look in vain for them. Salt
seems inimical to bedbugs, and they will
not trail through it. We think it prefera-
BILE to all ointments. aud the buyer requires
no certificate as to it's genuineness.
SALLY LUNN.-Rub three ounces of
butter into pound of flour; then add
three eggs beaten very light, a little salt,
one gill of yeast and as much milk as will
make it into soft dough, cover it and set
in a warm place to rise, bake it in mod
crate oven, and send it to table, to be eat
en- with butter.
PIGEONS. RoAsTED.-When your pig
cons are cleaned, roll good lump of but
ter in chopped parsley with pepper and
salt; dust and haste your pigeons; if your
fire be good they will be roasted in a half
hour; serve them with sauce of butter and
parsley.
ROWLEY POWLEY.-Roll out large
sheet of paste, cover it with any jam or
marmalade you prefer, roll it up, and tie
in, laAl.
