THE HOME.

A "Ybsy.Pehttt Dish of Eggs.—Break some eggs into a small tart dish without injuring the yolks or laying one above the other, drop upon them some warm butter, and lightly strew some crumbs of bread ; put it into-the oven until the white be set, and serve with a wreath of parsley round. To Wash StbawEatb.—Use lemon juice *nd salt and lay in tho hot sun to bleach. Straw as well as woollen and other goods can bo bleached-in a tight box or barrel, with the fumes of burning sulphur, Suspend the goods and place a pan of live coals, with the sulphur over them, on the floor beneath; «lose the box tight. Mbw Way to Cook Chickens.—Out the chicken .up, put it in a pan and cover it over with water.; let it stew as usual, ana when done make a thickening of cream and flour, adding a piece of butter and pepper and salt. Save made and bake a pair of short-cakes, made as for pie crust, but rolled thin and cut in ■mall squares. This is much better than chicken pie -and more -simple to make. The oruats should be laid out on a dish and the chicken gravy poured aver while both are hot. COKTS.—To-xelieve corns on the sole of the foot, cut a piece of stout cardboard to fit the inside of the shoe. The cardboard must be large enough in every way to prevent it shifting under the foot in walking. Cut a round hole* in it exaotly where the corn rests but a little larger than the corn. This arrangement reliev ea the corn from the pressure and allows of its cure, and at the same time gives immediate n dief in walking. A bit of linen dipped in tnrpenb'n*, and wrapped around the corn night and moriiing, if persevered in, will give relief. Arnica ap pUed likewise will alleviate the pain. Lemon ju ice is also beneficial, softening the hard skin, t '« that with a blunt knife a considerable po. rtion of the corn may be removed. The easiest way so apply it is to cut off a piece of lemo. a, then nick it so as to let in the toe with the corn and bind it on at night. Bepeat twice o r thrice. A good corn plaster can be made b, V dissolving by heat 2oz of yellow wax in i*oz of purified ammonia and just before it is* cold add six draohms of acetate of copper. Spread this ointment on a piece of soft leather. Before applying soak the oorn for some time in a solution of soda and pare as closely' BB possible. Corns are entirely owing to contained pressure on some one part. At first they are the production of the outer skin alone, but by gradual thickening they become cormecte "ii not only with the true skin beneath, but evt 'o with the adjacent muscles, and, like many evil, preven- ' on is better than cure.
