ter’s cows, and this mattor was inserted by two 
superficial incisions into tho arms of James 
Pini'Ps. a healthy boy of about eight years of 
age. He went through the disease in a regular 
and satisfactory manner; but the most agitating 
part of the trial still remained to bo tried. It 
was needful to ascertain whether ho was free 
from tho contagion of small-pox. This point, 
so full of anxiety to Dr. .1 ex nek. was fairly put 
to issue on the 1st of the following .Inly. 
Bmali-pox matter, taken immediately and di¬ 
rectly from a small-pox pustule, was carefully 
inserted by several incisions, but no disease fol¬ 
lowed. Mow, by tins one simple and bravo ex¬ 
periment upon the lad James Purees. Dr. Ji n¬ 
xes established a law which tho experience Of 
milli ons upon millions of human beings in gene¬ 
rations since, bas only served to strengthen. It 
is wonderful, too, to think that there can bo a 
single individual in these islands who cannot SCO 
at a glance tlie simplicity, beauty, and truth of 
this law. There is no contagion in tho world so 
certain and sure as the contagion of small-pox— 
not ©von that of hydrophobia or rabies in the 
dog. The very emanations or exhalations from 
th© body of anyone sick of small-pox, if breathed 
by a healthy person, arc iu many instances sulfi- 
cient to induce tho disorder; and yet there is 
this healthy young boy, James Tuirrs, who re¬ 
ceives the srnall-pox matter into bis very blood, 
and still he does not take the disease ! 
in salt and water an hour; then cut into dice 
and put over the Are. with enough cold water to 
cover it well. Btew gently lor an hour: then 
add salt, pepper, a little mace, sweet marjoram, 
parsley, and a teaspoonful or Worcestershire 
sauce; stew again gently for a half hour longer, 
when put in a tablespoonful of butter, two table¬ 
spoonfuls of browned flour made smooth in a 
little cold water, a teaspoonful of lemon jnico 
and one of currant jelly: boil live minutes, dish, 
and serve hot. 
Spinach.—Vick it over very carefully and wash 
it in several waters, for tho spinach is very apt 
to bo gritty. Dot it remain in the last water 
until it is time to put it over the lire. Take out 
with your bands, sbakiug each bunch well, and 
put it into the saucepan with a handful of salt. 
Press the spinach down with a spoon, and let it 
boil till tender—but not to rags, or until it is 
past recognition, as generally served at restau¬ 
rants ; when tonder. turn it into a colander and 
press out tlie water. Place it in a dish and gar¬ 
nish with hard-boiled eggs cut in rings. Spinach 
requires no water in boiling, the expressed jnico 
being suflicieut to lcoep it moist, and the flavor is 
much finer* without water than with it. Those 
in the habit of using water,'should try this method 
and note the contrast. Mrs. Rustic. 
surpassed. Slack one peck of now white limo 
with boiling water, covering during the process 
to keep in as touch steam as possible. Strain 
the liquid and add to it half a peck of salt pre¬ 
viously dissolved in hot water; one to ouo and a 
half pounds of rice paste, and half a pound of 
finely ground whiting. Add two and a half 
gallons of hot water; stir well and apply quite 
hot; half a pound of glue, dissolved and 
stirred in, will he a great improvement. For 
barns, and indeed any sort of buildings, and 
whether inside or outside tho foregoing is very 
superior. The only objectionable ingredient in 
the wash is tho salt, which has the property, as 
every one knows, of attracting sheop, cattle, <&e., 
causing no little annoyance, especially when at 
night they come prowling about. As the salt is 
not an essential ingredient, it were wise, perhaps, 
in such instances, to ouiit it.

SPARROWS 
The Rochester Union gives tho following 
method for utilizing sparrows: 
A Trojan has invented a mode of preparing 
them for tho table that renders them, in his esti¬ 
mation fully equal to woodcock. His method is 
to take the sparrow, cut off his head, and after 
plucking off tho feathers, deposit tho body with 
a few broad crumbs and a small piece of butter 
inside a potato, previously split and hollowed 
out for the purpose. Then fasten the potato to¬ 
gether with skewers and bake in a quick oven. 
When nicely prepared, if the potatoes are of suf¬ 
ficient size, forty of the birds will make a person 
a dinner fit for an epicure.

be properly fed. They should not take food as 
a medicino, but as nourishment. They should 
have tho very host things to oat they can get, 
and, fortunately, the best tilings are not always 
the most expensive or difficult to obtain. If it 
agree with them a cup of cream may very appro¬ 
priately be taken every day by those who are in¬ 
clined to consumption. Brown bread,'and milk 
arid cream, oatmeal and cream, eggs, with ft 
moderate use of beef and mutton, good butter 
mid mealy potatoes, will, of themselves, consti¬ 
tute a perfect diet. They should avoid nick- 
nacks anti fancy foods, and live on things sub¬ 
stantial and nourishing. Fruits should be used 
in their season moderately. 
Consumption is a constitutional disease show¬ 
ing poverty of blood and poverty of healthy 
tissue, and this poverty must be eradicated. It 
can bo done partially by such foods as are 
needed to build up a strong healthy body and 
carry on all its functions. Many physicians 
think that tho disuse of fat is a cause of con¬ 
sumption, and they proscribe cod-liver oil, not as 
a medicine, but as a food, and, in many oases, it 
has proved useful. We think, however, that it 
is the sedentary and unnatural life people lead 
that has most to do in causing so much con¬ 
sumption, and that with this sedentary life 
conies a feeble condition of body and brain 
favorable to the disease. A wiso pliysicial edu-

—about three to a good-sized slice of veal. Roll 
them up carefully and closely, and bind each
