People don't often look back on the early 1900's for advice, but what if we could actually learn something from the Lost Generation?

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 See the Wind

如何看见风的模样

On a dry, windy day, take a long polished sheet of metal( a saw-blade will do) with a perfectly straight edge. Then sight carefully at some clearly defined object as shown, and you will see the air flowing over the saw's edge.

选一个晴朗，多风的日子，拿上一根较长，表面光亮，末端棱角分明的金属物（比如锯子的锯片）。瞄准远处某一清楚可见的目标物，你会看到空气在锯片的边缘上流动。
