THE RECIPES. If'}yit Gingerbread. —A lady sends us the following receipt for hard gingerbread, which she recommends as the best she had used : Two pounds flour, one half pound butter, one pint molasses, one fourth pound of uI Cake —Four eggs, two CUpS of sugar, five tiblespo >ns of water, half tea spoon of soda dissolved in water, one tea spoon of cream tartar sifted in the flour, three cups of flour, one lemon grated, peel and juice. Make into any form that may be desired, ami bake in a moderate oven. B'/Ston Breakfast Cake. —One quart of fl' ur, two teaspoons of cream tartar rubbed into the flour, one tablespoon of butter robbed into the flour, two tablespoons of brown sugar rubbed dry into the flour, a little salt, one teaspoon of soda dissolved in as much sweet milk as will make the ingredients about the consistence of pound cake dough Grease a pan with lard and place the muffin rings in the pan. having them also well greased; fill them half full and bake in a quick oven. Trid ion Syrup—.4 Delicious Summer Drink. —Five pounds of lump sugar, two ounces of citric acid, a gallon of boiling water: when cold aid halt a drachm of essence of lemon, and half a drachm of spirits of wine ; stir well and bottle it.— About two tablespoonfuls to a glass of cold water. Scurf in the Head —A simple and ef fectual remedy. Into a pint of water drop a lump of quick lime, the size of a wal nut; let it stand all night. then pour the water off clear from the sediment or de posit, add a quarter of a pint of the. best vinegar, and wash the head with the mix ture. Perfectly harmless; only wet the roots of the hair. Small Pox Mirks —Mr. Waddington lances the pustules with a needle, and thus allows the poisonous matter (which is the cause of the difigarement to escape, and also orders the room to be kept dark. Mr. IV addington states that, during twelve years' practice, he has not known one case out of twenty of a person being marked bv the small-pox when the above simple ex pedient has been resorted to. Excellent Hair Wash *"-Take one ounce of borax, half an ouee of camphor; powd er these ingredients fine, and dissolve them in one quart of boiling water: when cool the solution will be ready for use : damp the hair frequently. This wash effectually cleanses, beautifies, and strengthens the hair, preserves the coior. and prevents ear ly baldness. The camphor will form into lumps after being dissolved, but the water will be sufficiently impregnated.
