THE HOME.

A Simple Kbmbdy foe Lockjaw and Oboup. —Let any one who has an attack of lockjaw take a small quantity of turpentine, warm it, and pour it on the wound, no matter whore the wound is, and relief will follow in less than a minute. Nothing better can bo applied to a severe cut or bruise than cold turpentine ; it will give certain relief almost instantly. Turpentine is also a sovereign remedy for croup. Saturate a piece of flannel on the throat and chest, and in every severe case three or four drops on a lump of sugar may be taken inwardly. Every family should have a bottle on band. How to Covbb tub Sick.— Never use anything but light blankets to cover the sick. The heavy, impervious counterpane is bad, for the reason that it keeps the exhalations from the pores of the sick person, while the blanket allows them to pass through. Weak persons are invariably distressed by a great weight of bedclothes, which often prevents their getting any sound sleep whatever. Hasty Pudding. Put a pint of milk into a perfectly clean quart stewpan, with five or six bay leaves ; have ready on tho hob a basin of flour ; as soon as tho milk boils remove the bay leaves, take some flour in the left hand and let it fall lightly into the milk (which must be kept boiling fast the whole time), stir without ceasing, adding flour until it is about the consistency of porridge, then let it boil a few minutes longer, still keeping it stirred. Turn it out on a hot dish, stick pieces of butter all over it, sprinkle moist sugar, and grate some nutmeg, when the butter and sugar will melt and mingle, and, running all over and round it, form a delicious sauce. Do not be too sparing of butter and sugar, and the cook need not be discouraged if she does not succeed in her first attempt, as experience alone can teach her how to sprinkle the flour in properly. If it is not done very lightly lumps of flour will be the result.

Lemon Whip Pudding. —Soak an ounce of gelatine and the thin rind of two lemons in a pint of cold water for an hour. Take out the rind, and then set the water and gelatine on the fire, and when ths latter is all dissolved add three-fourths of a pound of loaf sugar and the juice of three lemons. Let all boil together for five minutes, then poor out the mixture and let it stand until it is cold and beginning to set. Beat stiffly the whites of two eggs, add them to the mixture and beat the whole for about half an hour till it becomes of the consistency of sponge. File it lightly in a glass dish, leaving it rooky in appearance. Pile fresh lady’s fingers around the base, and serve with boiled custard poured around it on the pudding plates. The custard is to be mode with the yolks of two eggs and one whole egg.
