IT is frequently asserted that the sex
of eggs can be determined by the shape
Of the egg, the position of the air-cell,
the curl or twist at the small end, etc.
These tests have been proved by care
ful experiments, which have shown that
all such ideas and theories are errone-
Gus and absurd.

Shetland shawls, put the soiled article
intoa large bowl, throw over it half a
teacupful of flour. dry rub thor
oughly, as il washing. and then thor
oughly shake out the flour. If the ar

CHEESE OMELET-Butter the sides of

OF rich cheese; sprinkle with pepper and

SWISS TEA RoLLs.-Six eggs, one
half pound of sifted flour, one-half

a dessertspoonful of iced water and

lemon peel very gradually, while beat
ing. When all the sugar is in beat IN

BRAN or ground feed is best fed to
cows upon moistened hay; it being
mixed with the hay. all will be eaten
together and raised and masticated.
But if it is not fed with cut hay it should
be fed dry and in a small quantity each
time, for il fed alone it is not raised and
remasticated, but goes on to the third
and fourth stomachs. If fed in slop it
is swallowed without any mastication
and mixed with little or no saliva, but
if fed dry it cannot be swallowed until
it is mixed with saliva, and the saliva
assists in digestion. When food is
masticated the act of rumination causes
the saliva to flow and mix with food.
We have experimental. and find that,
when fed alone dry, ground feed is bet
ter digested than when fed wet
CHARLOTTE RUssE.-Take half an
ounce of gelatine and put it into just
enough warm water to cover it; while
this is slowly dissolvihg take one pint of
thick sweet cream. and whip it to stiff
broth; beat well the white Of one egg.
After the gelaiine is dissolved boil it for
two or three minutes, then sweeten and
faver it; when it is about as warm as
new milk add the cream and egg, and
beat the mixture till it is cold. If the
sponge cake over which this is to be
turned is baked in large round tin
which is scalloped around the edge. it
adds much to the pretty effect of the
dish. Put the cake while warm. to pre-
vent its crumbling, into round dish,
allowing the scallops to show at the
top; then pour the whipped cream into
it, and you have dish tit for the gods.
