Oyster Soup, 
if we have that: Drain out the oysters, and 
sprinkle through them a few shakes ot Cay¬ 
enne pepper; roll fine a dozen or two ol 
crackers; strain the oyster liquor, add the 
cracker, and after dissolved add a lump of 
fresh butter and a quart of rich milk. When 
all comes to a boil throw in the oysters, and 
when the boiling point is again reached the 
oysters arc done. Boiling spoils them. Salt 
to taste. For 
Bean Soup 
(some are content, with that when oysters 
cannot be procured,) here is a recipe:—Clean 
and wash the beans over night, and pour on 
cold water next morning; put them in a pot 
with plenty of soft water; if soft water is 
not available, add a teaspoonful of soda; boil 
half an hbur, then pour off the water; turn 
on fresh hot water; to two quarts of beans 
add five pounds of the lean of fresh beef and 
one pound of pork; cut up in small pieces ; 
season with pepper; skim as soon as a boil

The importance of ventilating bedrooms

If two men are to occupy a bedroom during 
a night, let them stop upon weighing scales 
as they retire, aml then again iu the morn¬ 
ing, and they will find that their actual 
weight is at least a pound less ia the morn¬ 
ing. Frequently there will be a loss of two 
or more pounds, and tho average loss 
throughout the year will be more than one 
pound; that is, during the night there is a 
loss of a pound of matter, which lias gone
