The root sloeU forms itself ue.\t helow thesm-

 deep, it must first put its sprouts to the suriiice,

 contrary. 



From the experiments of U:;azy, who tried 

 seventy-six, with different irrains, it is (dear that

Tickled Eggs. — Among the numerous pickles 

 in couunon use, it veiy rarely occin-s thai pickled 

 eggs are to lie witnessed, either in oil-sho|)s or 

 upon the tahle. Nevertheless, in the counties 

 of Ilanis and Dorset, pickled eggs cor)stitnle a 

 very promiui-i;l feature in the liirm-house slore-

 ered, hy the industrious house-wife, md'urnislied 

 without ihem. The mode in which the gooil 

 dames [licklethe eggs is simply thus: At the' sea- 

 son of the year when their slock of eggs is plen- 

 tifid, they cause some four or si.\ dozen to he 

 hoiled in a capacious saucepan until they hecome 

 quite hard. They then, after removing the shells, 

 lay them carefully in large mouthed jans, and 

 pour over them scalding vinegar, well seasoned 

 with whole pepiier, allspice, a few races of gin- 

 ger, and a few cloves or garlic. They then, when 

 cold, Ixuig theui down close. In aiuonlh ihey
