通常人们不会为了求取生活妙方而去回顾20世纪初的年代，不过如果那个“垮掉的一代”真的能对我们有所助益呢？

The New York Public Library has digitized 100 "how to do it" cards found in cigarette boxes over 100 years ago, and the tips they give are so practical that millennials reading this might want to take notes.

纽约公共图书馆将一组100多年前的香烟盒上的“生活妙招”卡片进行了数字化处理，这些卡片上的小贴士实在太实用了，二十一世纪的我们看到了也会多加留意！

How to Prevent Eggs

Eggs for preserving must be new laid, and by simply putting these into a box or tin of dry salt——burying the eggs right in the salt and keeping in a cool dry place——it is possible to preserve them for a very long period. No air whatever must be allowed to get at the shells.

需要贮藏的鸡蛋必须是母鸡刚下的蛋，只要把这些鸡蛋放进一盒或者一听干盐——把鸡蛋完全淹没在盐里，然后放在阴凉干燥的位置——就能够长时间的贮藏鸡蛋了。绝对不要让蛋壳接触到空气。
