HamAitd Eggs.—There is agreat difference in the manner of cooking this popular dish. To get it as nice as possible requires tune and care. The following is suggested as some* thing extra nice : Cut the ham quite thick— say one-third of an inch at least. Boil it in plenty of wator till barely cooked through, pour off the water, and put the pan in a place just hot enough to brown the fat part of the ham slightly, but not hot enough to make a smoke, or to brown the lean meat much. When this is finished remove the frying-pan from the fire, take off the hare, pour the fat into a cup, and wipe the pan till it shines like a mirror, without a single speek to mar the polish. Then put in a spoonful of the clear part of the fat, break in the eggs, and set the pan in a place scarcely hotter than boiling water, coyer it and let the eggs cook as s'owly as possible for four or five minutes, taking them up as soon as they can be lifted out. Place them around the ham, and do not pour auy of the fat on the cb'slu Eat with mashed potatoes. Cxnaeies Asp Catenae Pepper.—Ah English journal, in reply torn enquiry, says : —Canaries are made high-coloured with the free use of cayenne pepper in their food. Some breeders mk it with egg and biscuit ; others use it in a cake with which they freely feed the birds during the whole of the moulting period. To one egg, when hard boQed and chopped fine (or it may be more effectually done by pressing through a sieve), add two teaspoonfuls of cayenne, pure and mixed well together. Then add one small, biscuit reduced to a powder. Mix the three ingredients together and snpply your (say some half-dozen birds) with the diet two or three times diily. No green food during th« moult. The more of the pepper food the j birds partake of and the less of seeds the I deeper the colour of the plumage will be. You need not fear your birds feeding- upon the above food. Commence with the pepper diet when the young have attained the age of six weeks. There will be no necessity to put the whole of the young .birds upon the cayenne diet. Select for the purpose the boldest and most lfkely-Ioo&ing cock birds. \ Yonng- canaries bred from pepper-fed birds will not be high coloured in first or nest feathers. To- make them high-coloured they must be moulted , upon cayenne. j Dβ. de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Ltvbs Oil.—ln Throat Diseases its efficacy is unequalled. Sir G.
