KEEP DWELLINGS, DRY.-says the
artisan: "a warm and dry atmosphere is
not unwholesome, but whom cloudy or rainy
weather brings sultry air which d.mpeus
everything around US, the atmospheric may
be loaded with the germs of disease, and
lire is needed to destroy them. The walls,
the ceiling and the floors Of apartments
should never be allowed to become damp.
Sometimes; when the warmth of the air
is oppressive, fire is thore necessary to
preserve health than it is at another season
to protect us from the cold of winter, and
the rooms of dwelling should hevet be
left without the means Of warming and
drying. Investigations have shown that
many of the most fatal diseases are caused
by the germs of vegetable and ahinial life,
and that humid atmosphere is most favora-
bio fot their propagation. It is, therefore,
neglectiDg to avail ourselves of the great
discoveries of the age, and failing to protect
ourselves fttm tho scoutges which so fear-
fully affiiot families, when we ignore the
dangers which surround ua. Apartments
exposed to the full action of the sun may
be less comfortable in hot wea ther than
those from which the suns rays are excluded
but they are more wholesome, and when
contagious diseases prevail in closely built
cities, it is found that the inmates of houses
on that side of the street exposed to the
sun are less liable to be attacked, while
the greatest number of sick are always
found where there is the least exposure to
the rays of that great disinfeotor- sun.
Eoos FOR HUMAN FooD.-The Southern
Poultry Journal says: "An egg is really more
nutritious than meat. There is really no
waste in bone, rind and tough pioges. A
wealthy friend onoe told me that for his small
family it took about three pounds of meat per
day for each person, but this was beoauss
there was 80 much waste in flesh. Flesh is
the most expensive Of foods; eggs the oheapA
est of animal food. think eggs, considering
the nutriment they contain, compared With
beef, at least four times cheaper. The English
vegetarians eat no flesh; they are on the
average long lived-much longer than other
people. They use eggs moderately.
''The way to cook an egg, according to tt,y
notion, is to put it into water Of tempetG.
ture of l80 degrees, and let it stand fve
minutes. The inside or yoke will be hard
and tho white of the egg will not be hard.

A little skill will teach any ono how to do
this. The egg, are then delicious. The only
butter-at least ! think SO. Pepper and salt
are only demanded by morbid taste. Fried
eggs, think, are about nothing. An egg
dropped into water $50 degrees T., and
allowed to remain four or Ave minutes so as
to cook through, and then laid on nice piece
of brown bread, which has been toasted and
dipped in not water, ie good enough for

are better than beefstoak, and may be used
