SORE LIPS AND EYEs.-One teaspoon
level full of sulphate of zinc, or white
vitriol, dissolved in one pint of rain
water. Moisten your finger with the
liquid and apply it TO the part affected,
two or three times day, until a cure
is effected. The above recipe l know
to be good one for sore eyes. It cured
me of sore lips after being badly troub-
led with the same for eighteen years
during warm weather.
SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH TOMATOES.
-Brea'I six eggs into bowl and beat
with fork just enough to break the
yolks. Take from can of tomatoes
as many medium sized tomatoes as you
have eggs. Use only the PUPPY part of
the fruit, drawing off the juice and
seeds as much as possible. Put lump
of butter into IA frying-pan, and when
melted, turn in the tomatoes; stir for
a minute, add the eggs, and continue
stirring until cooked. Season to taste
and serve very quickly.
SUGAR AND THE TEETIL-Sugar does
not injure sound teeth. but, on the con-
tiary, improves them by assisting the
solution of food which supplies lime
for the nourishment. Sugar some
times causes pain in decayed teeth
AS creosote relieves an aching tooth
by coagulatiEg film of albumen over
the nerve, so sugar may cause a tooth
to ache by dissOlving the albumen oy
which the nerve may be protected
Negroes, who eat large quantities OF
sugar, have beautiful teeth.
PHIFFER CoOKIES.-Warm three
pounds of butter in one gallon of black
mOlasses, until the butter is melted
add two tablespoonfuls of soda and a
little flour; then one teacup of sweet
milk, one teacup of all-spice, one tea.

teacup of cloves, one teaspoonful OF
black pepper, 2 pounds of shelIed al
mondS, cut fine; 2 pounds of citron
cut fine, and little salt. Work in
flour till it will roll out. and bake like
cookies. For the icing use three
pounds of sugar, cooked with lii ,lt
water till it will look white on the
cakes, but not candy or sugar. Keer
it warm. and brush over the cakes be.
fore they get cold.
