boiled rice on this, and so on until you have

salt to suit the taste and lay it out fiat in
your nicely creased dTippng-pan, leaving

SOFA-PILLOw-When making a sofa
pillow of the crazy patchwork be careful
to put the brightest and most striking
pieces near the centre. When the cushion
Is made up the effect is quite different
from what it is when it is spread out fiat,
and il is of more consequence that the
corners should. This, when reduced to
writing, looks like foregOne conclusion;

maker can testify.
The MEDICAL USES OF EGGs-For
burns and scalds there is nothing more
soothing than the white of an egg, which
may be poured over the wound. IL IS
softer as varnlsh for a burn than COLO
dion, and, being always on hand, can be
applied Immediately. 1t is also more
cooling than the "sweet-oil and cotton"
which was formerly supposed to be the
surest application to alay the smarting
pain. It is the contact with thu air which
gives the extreme discomfort experienced
from ordinary accidents Of this Kind, and
ANYTHING which excludes air and prevents
Inflammation is the best thing to be at
once applied. The egg is also considered
one of the very best remedies for dysen-
terry. Beaten up lightly with or without
sugar, and swallowed at gulp, it tends,
by its emOllient qualities, TO lessen the
Inflammation Of the stomach and intes-
tines, and, by forming transient coat
ing on these organs, TO enable nature to
assume her healthful sway over the dis
eased body.
