spreading of the colour, which, by blotting the parchment, detracts greatly from the legibility, the alkali should be put ou first, and the dilu- ted acid added upon it. 'T'he method found to answer best has been, to spread the alkali thin with a feather or a bit of stick cut with a blunt point. Though the alkali should occasion no sensible change of colour, yet the moment the acid comes upon it, every trace of a leiter turns at once to a fine blue, which soon acquires its full intensity, and is beyond comparison stron- ger than the colour of the original trace. If, then, the corner of a bit of blotting paper be carefully and dexterously applied near the let- ters, so as to imbibe the superfluous liquor, the
staining of the parchment may be in a great measure avoided ; for it is this superfluous liquor which absorbing part of the colouring matter from the letters, becomes a dye to whatever it touches. Care must be taken not to bring the blotting paper in contact with the letters, be- cause the colouring matter is soft whilst wet, and may easily be rubbed off. The acid chiefly employed is the marine: but both the vitriolic and the nitrous succeed very well. They should be so far diluted as not to be in danger of corroding the parchment, after which the de- gree of strength does not seem to be a matter of much nicety.

TO PREVENT DANGER FROM WET CLOTHES.
Keep if possible in motion, and take care not to go near a fire or into any very warm place, so as to occasion a sudden heat, till some time after you have been able to procure dry clothes.
TO TAKE OFF A GOLD RING STIKING TIGHT ON A FINGER.
Touch it with mercury, and it becomes so brittle that a slight blow with a hammer will break it.
"CHOPS OR STEAKS.
Those who are nice about Steaks, never at- tempt to have any, except in weather which per- mits the meat to-be hung till it is tender-and
give the Butcher some days notice of their wish for them.
The best steaks are those cut from the mid- dle of a Rump, that has been killed at least four days in moderate weather,-when they can be cut about six inches long, four inches wide, and half an inch thick-do not beat them, unless you expect they will not be tender Desire the Butcher to cut them of eren thickness-if he does not, divide the thicker from the thinner pieces, and give them time accordingly.
Take care to have a very clear brisk fire, throw a little salt on, make the Gridiron bot, and set it slanting, to prevent the fat from drop- ping into the fire, and making a smoke. It re- quires more practice and care than is generally supposed to do Steaks to a nicety : and for want

of these little attentions, this very common dish, which every body is supposed capable of dres- sing, seldom comes to the table in perfection ..
Ask those you cook for, if they like it under or throughly done; and what accompaniments they like best,-it is usual to put a tablespoon- ful of Catsup,-or " Balls' ('nvice," and a lit- tle minced Shallot into a dish before the fire, while you are broiling-turn the Steak with a pair of Steak tongs-it will be done in about ten or fifteen minutes; rub a bit of butter over it, and send it up garnished with Pickles and finely scraped Horseradish are the Sauces usu- ally composed for Chops and Steaks.

COMPOSITION FOR A CEMENT TO RESIST THE ACTION OF FIRE AND WATER.
Take half a pint of milk, and mix with it an equal quantity of vinegar, so as to coagulate the milk. Separate the curds from the whey, and mix the latter with the whites of four or five eggs, after beating them well up. The mix- ture of these two substances being complete, add sifted quick-lime, and make the whole in- to a thick paste of the consisteney of putty. If this mastich is carefully applied to broken bo- dies, or to fissures of any kind, and dried prop- erly, it resists water and fire.

TO CHANGE HAIR TO A DEEP BROWN.
A solution of the silver caustic in water is the foundation of all the nostrums for this pur- pose. It must be well diluted before used.
TO TAKE OFF, INSTANTLY, A COPY FROM A PRINT OR PICTURE.
Make a water of soap and alum, with which wet a cloth or paper; lay it either on a print or picture, and pass it once under the rolling press, then going round the other side to take it up, you will have a very fine copy of whatever you shall have laid it upon.
TO DETECT THE MIXTURE OF ARSENIC.
A solution of blue vitriol dropped into any li- quid in which arsenio has been put will turn it green.
KIDNEYS.
Cut them through the long way,-score them, sprinkle a little pepper and salt on them, and run a wire skewer through them, to keep from curling on the Gridiron-so that they may be evenly broiled.
Broil them over a very clear fire, turning them often till they are donc: they will take about ten or twelve minutes, if the fire is brisk : or Fry them in Butter, and make gravy for them in the pan [after you have taken out the kidneys,] by putting in a teaspoonful of flour; as soon as it looks brown, put in as much wa- ter as will make gravy: they will take five min- utes more to fry than to broil.
TO TRY THE PURITY OF SPIRITS.
See if the liquor will burn away without leav- ing any moisture behind. As spirit is much lighter than water, place a hollow ivory ball in it; the deeper the ball sinks, the lighter the liquor, and consequently the more spirituous.

STEWED OYSTERS.
Large Oysters will do for stewing, and by some are preferred ; out we love the plump, jui- cy natives. Stew a couple of dozen of these in their own liquor ;- when they are coming to a boil, skim well, take them up and beard them ; strain the liquor through a tammis sieve, and

Put an ounce of but- ter into a stewpan, -when it is melted, put to it as much flour as will dry it up, the liquor of the Oysters, and three tablespoonsful of milk or cream, and a little white pepper and salt; to this some Cooks add a little Catsup or finely chopped Parsley, grated Lemon Peel, and juice ; let it boil up for a couple of minutes, till it is smooth. then take it off the fire, put in the Oysters, and let them get warm; (they must not themselves be boiled, or they will become hard; ) line the bottom and sides of a hash-dish with bread sippits, and pour your oysters and sauce into it.

PEARL WHITE.
Bismuth dissolved in aquafortis is pearl white. This though at first it whitens, afterwards black- ens the skin, as all preparations from lead do; and therefore none of them are safely to be used.

Sprincle sugar on them. The Turks waslı fresh wounds with wine, and sprinkle sugar on them. Obstinate ulcers may be cured with su- gar dissolved iu a strong decoction of walnut leaves.

The judge told him that would not do, for if he was tried by them be could not have his trial till the day of judgment. " Faitb," says Paddy, " and I have no objection to that neither, for I am in no hurry about it at all. at all."
