small give it light. Not only was the mind
saddcned in home tina; Vas not flushed
with light, hut sunlight was Of itself directly
useful to health. The practice OF placing
sick people in dark and closely curtained
rooms was alike pernicious to body and
spirit; and moreover. he had found by ex-
pertinent that certain organic polsons analo-
gous to the poisons which propagate cpl
dcmic and contagious diseases were render
ed innocuous by exposure to light. II
was good to make all possible use Of sun
light. it was good equally to make as little
use As possible Of artificial light
Artificial lights. 50 far, had been source,
OF waste. no, only of the material out OF
which they are made. but of the air in which
they burned. In the air Of the closed room

products really injurious to life. Gasligh;

Ii was Of the greatest Importance in
healthful home to lie, every person have a
separate bed. and the clothes should be
light and warm. A, the bedroom wa> the
room in which one-third at least of the
whole life was passed. that ought to be the
room on which most trouble after health

was the reverse Of this The bedroom
should be so planned that never less than
400 cubic feet Of space should be given 10

Making oii ?es,..y Tender.

\ writer in the " l. 7riLiu,,. saws that
old poultry NAV be made tender and sa-
vory by the following method. soak it in
cold water with handful or two Of ashes
thrown in for twenty-four hours: pick of
the feathers and let it hang for twenty
four hours longer Then le, il boil for a
quarter Of an hour in veal broth or water;
take 1t out. lard and bake it; when nearly
done haste with hot butter. By this meth
Cd the favor Of a young chicken NAV be
impaired TO an old fowl Poultry Of all
kinds requires thorough cooking. as when
underdone il is tasteless \ turkey weigh
Ing eight pounds should be baked three
hours and basted every ten or fifteen min
utes with its own drippings and with melted
butter. If proper care is taken in dressing
poultry II will not need washing. A wet
cloth may be used to wipe it clean if neces-
sary, but soaking it in water takes out the
favor. Young poultry may be known by
having smooth legs and supple feet If the
legs are rough and the feet are stiff. the
poultry is old or stale.
