HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A Dish for Bbrakfabt.— Take a sheep’s brains and Scald so as to set them; when cold, divide each lobe like a kidney; egg and bread-crumb, and fry a nice light brown with little rows of bacon as an accompaniment. —HoiweAold. Royal Fruit Cake— Five cups of flour, five eggs, one and one-half cups of sugar, one cup pf molasses, one and one-., half cups of "butter, one teaspoonful saleratus, one-half a cup of milk, two pounds of chopped raisins, three pounds of currants, one and on&half pounds of citron, two tablespoonfuls of cinnamon, one nutmeg, two teaspoonfuls of allspice, two teaspoonfuls of eloves. Chicken Cholera.— A Tennessee correspondent of the /iwiri Sun says: “I would not so strongly recommend the following remedy or cure for chicken cholera were it not that I have found it beyond question. I had, and now have, ’ some twelve or fifteen game fowls, imported into Maury County, toe original stock, in 1859. They are freer from attacks of cholera than any other breed I am acquainted; with. However, every spring tod summer I lose, or rather have lost, a number of fowls, both old and young. I tried all remedies advised or advertised, with only partial benefits. As an experiment I used essence of Jamaica ginger. Take of this one tablespoonful and put it in enough' of water to mix into dough one quart of meal, and feed three times daily. The essence of ginger can be procured of any druggist. "This remedy I vouch for.”

Mrs. Wm. Church, of Canada, says the best way to keep eggs she finds is to “ take a pot or pail, or anything convenient, put about an inch or two of meal or any kind of bran (I generally take shorts from flour—being a farmer’s wife I have it on hand) in it, put a layer of eggs, either end down, close together; then cover with meal, another layer of. eggs, and so on until the box is full, occasionally giving it a shake to fill well between the eggs. plan -I have adopted for years with success, and the last when used—which is often the end of April and beginning of May—are as good as the first. I commence to pack* in September. The whole secret lies in carefully selecting fresh eggs, packing on end and keeping the air from them. Keep in a dry, cool place.”— Canada Paper.
