CUTs.-In treating ordinary cuts
cleanliness and care arc generally moro
requisite than skill. If the cut be ex.
nsive, "l nn artery, vein, or any 9th
er important part be injured, it becomes
from knives, cutting tools, &c., ar(
more likely to occur on the face aut
limbs than on the hody. All that Is
requisite In general. IL to bring the
parts together as accurately as posi-.
Bile, and btnd them up; this is usually
done by adhesive plaster, when the cut
ccasos to bleed. Nothing Is so good
for this purpose as paper, first washed
oyer on one side with thick gum water,
and then dried; when used, it is only
to he slightly wetted with tho tongue
When tho cut blccds but little, 1t Is
well to soak it in warm water for n
few minutes, or to keep a wet cloth on
it. This removes Inflammation and
pain, add also a tendency to faint
ness, which n cut gives somo person .
If the bleeding be too coDOus, dab the
part with Il rag wcttcd with creosote.
If the wound be large, 1t should be
scwed up, If the blood that issues be
very scarlet, it may be concluded that
an artery has been touched, and then
whenever the bleeding cannot be stop
ped, medical all must be procured :;
tbs best method to persue is to bind up
tho wound tightly, or TO hold 4 finger
strongly against the part that blccdS.
TO MAKE BARLEY SUGAR.-To every
pound OF sugar allow half pint of
water, and half the white OF an egg.
Put the sugar into IL well timed sauce
pan, with the water, and whom the
former is dissolved, SIT it oyer Il mod
cratic fire, adding the well-bcatcn egg
before the mixture gets warm, and stir
1t we'll together. When 1t boilS remove
the scum as 1t rises and keep it boiling
until no more appears, and the syrup
looks perfectly clear; then strain it
through iino sieve or musliI bag, ana
put it back inio the saucepan. Boil It
again like caramel, until it is brittle,
cold water. It's then sufficiently boiled.
Add little lemon juice and let it stand
for II minute or Two. lIavo ready
marble slab rubbed over with salad
oil; pour on the sugar, and cut it into
strips with pair of scissors; these
strips should then be twisted.
a VERY large quantity Of poisonous
vines, ori ivy, which clings to the trees,
particularly oaks, is found scattered all
over, and few persons know what to
use TO relieve themselves from the tor.
menting irritation 1T produces. We
therefore recommend "LabarraqUc's
solution Of chloride Of soda, which
when the skin is not broken, can be
applied three or tour times tlny; when
broken, it should be diluted with from
three to six parts water. This remedy
Is also prescribed for cryslpclas, burns
and scalds and is found to be very CT
ilcacious.
MINCED FEALAND EGGs.-Takc some
remnants of toast or braised veal, trim
OF all Drowned parts, and mincc 1t very
finely; fry a shallot, or onion, chop
ped sman, In plenty of butter; when
1T Is light straw color add little
pinch Of flour and little stock, then
the mincc meat, with chopped parsley,
pepper, salt and nutmeg to taste; mix
well, add more stock If necessary, and
let the mince gradually get hot by the
aide Of the fire: lastly add a few droDs
of lemon juice. Serve with sippets of
bread fried in butter round, and the
poachcd eggs Oh the top.
CHOCOLATE DRurs,-Pour half n
pint boiling water on one quart of white
sugar; mix well, and boil ten minutes
without stlrring: place tho saucepan
In cold water, and stir briskly till it
becomes stiff enough to handle; mould
1t In little balls and put itaside to cool.
Break the chocolate in pieces, aud put
In bowl In top of Il boiling tea kettle:
~ fIn
drop IN the balls one at time; take
fhom out with fork and place on but
tered paper.
FRIcAssEE CHICKEN.-1ake two
good-siZed chickens, nicely cleaned
and divided. Stew them in one quart
OF water, and half pint Of rich, sweet
milk: add little salt and pepper, one
fourth Of pound Of butter, a pint of
tender green corn cut from the cob

Gone, thickcn the gravy with a table
