unsophisticated loudly imagiuo that

diroctly from tho fruit, and it is a pity
to undocoivo them. Hut tho glory of

twelve parts of byturic ethor and ono
part of aectio ethor, diluted with al
cohol aud water. A piut of real straw-
lorry syrup added to tho gallon of
mixture, will improvo the syrup, but
it is not absolutely uocossary ; color with

Raspberry syrup is made after tbo
