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 Preserve Autumn Leaves

如何收藏秋叶

The beautiful and varied colouring of the leaves in Autumn makes it worth while to preserve them. This can be done by fat melted in an earthenware vessel. When this is quite liquid(bot not too hot), dip leaves in and then lay on a smooth surface to dry.Leaves should be completely coated, but not thicky.

秋天的树叶外观优美、色彩富丽、值得收藏。把猪油融化后放在陶瓷容器里，就能充当很好的贮藏剂。当猪油充分溶解（但是温度不能太高）的时候，把树叶浸入其中，形成光滑的外膜，然后风干。叶子上的外膜应该充分包裹整个叶子，但是不用太厚。
