A WRITER offers the following remedy for
earache, which, he says, after repeated trials
never fails to afford instant relief: Olive
oil, one ounce; chloroform. one dram. Mix
and shake together, then pour twenty-five
or thirty drops into the ear, and close it with
piece of raw cotton to exclude the air and
retain the mixture.
To boil an egg so that it is fit to eat, drop
l. in the water, place the vessel, covered, on
top of the stove at one side where the water
will not boil. Let it stand eight or ten min
utes. By this method the egg will be cook
ed through and the white will be soft-not
the hard, indigestible substance it becomes
by the usual method. Even if the egg is
left little to long, and becomes hard, it
will not be like an ordinary hard-boled egg.

A very simple and effective cure for cinde1

flaxseed. These may be placed in the eye
without pain to that delicate organ, and
shortly they begin to swell and dissolve a
glutinous substance that covers the ball ol
the eye, enveloping any substance that may
be in it, The irritation Of cutting the mem
brane is thus prevented, and the annoyance
may be soon washed out.
A NEW way to make chocolate cake is tt
take square, plain cake, to be about al
inch in thickness, and on top to place on
layer of chocolate about half-inch in thick
ness. The chocolate icing is made mucl
