# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Supplement/Kilburn-water

Edition of 1802.
​KILBURN-WATER, is a saline mineral fluid, obtained from a spring at Kilburn-well, about two miles from the end of Oxford-street, London.
This water was formerly in great repute, but is at present seldom employed. Nevertheless, it promises to be serviceable in cases of habitual costiveness, where powerful laxatives would be productive of dangerous consequences; as it may be used with safety, till the intestines have recovered their natural tone. It may farther be advantageously taken by persons of sedentary lives, who are peculiarly subject to hypochondriasis, indigestion, and other disorders arising from relaxed habits. The dose is from one to three pints, which should be drunk at short intervals, till it produce a purgative effect: and, as its operation is very slow, it appears to be eminently calculated for persons, whose stomachs are delicate ot impaired.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Supplement/Lackey-moth

Edition of 1802.
​LACKEY-MOTH, or Phalæna Bombyx Neustriæ, is a species of moth that commits great depredations on fruit-trees; around the branches of which it deposits numerous eggs; that exhibit the appearance of a necklace. These are very hard, and adhere closely to the bark; so that it becomes necessary to remove them by a knife; care being taken to spare the bark as much as possible. Next, the composition and powder mentioned in the article Tree (p. 238 of this vol.), must be applied to every part which may have been wounded by the instrument.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Supplement/Ear-wig

Edition of 1802.
​EAR-WIG.—The following method of extirpating these mischievous insects, is recommended by Mr. Forsyth, who has successfully practised it for several years. Let old bean-stalks be cut into tubes, about nine inches long; then be tied up in small bundles, either with pack-thread, or the pliant twigs of young willows; and be suspended on nails against the wall, in the vicinity of trees. Early in the following morning, a board about 18 inches square should be procured, and a small wooden trowel: the bundles of such bean-stalks are now to be taken down separately, stricken against the board, and the ear-wigs be destroyed with the trowel, as they fall out of the stslks.—If this method be repeated daily, or every second morning, the increase of the insects will speedily be checked.
The propagation of these vermin may be still more certainly prevented, by immersing the shreds taken from trees that have been unnailed in autumn, in boiled soap-suds, for three or four days previously to using them again: in this simple manner, the eggs of ear-wigs, as well as those of other insects, will be effectually exterminated.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Supplement/Egg

Edition of 1802.
​EGG.—In February 1791, a patent was granted to Mr. William Jayne, for his composition, which is calculated to preserve eggs.—He directs one Winchester bushel of quick-lime, 32 oz. of salt, and 8 oz. of cream of tartar, to be incorporated with such a quantity of water as will reduce the mixture to that consistence, in which an egg will float with its top above the surface.—In this liquor the eggs are to be kept; and the patentee asserts, that they may thus be preserved perfectly sound, for the space of two years at the least.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Supplement/Exercise

Edition of 1802.
The engine consists of a wooden cylinder, a, which turns on two central pivots, e, e, inserted in the upright posts.—b, b, are two rods, that may be made either of iron or of strong wood. These bars intersect each other at right angles, and are furnished with leaden weights at their extremities, c, c, c; which turn the cylinder with great velocity, when the rope d, attached to and passing round it, is pulled downwards. Farther, such weights draw the rope up again with considerable force, while it is wound backwards and forwards over the cylinder.—As this machinery may be fixed in a garret, or other spare-room at the top of a house, the rope may be conduced through the ceiling into a lower chamber; so that sedentary persons, or invalids, may take sufficient exercise, without quitting their habitation, or exposing themselves to the vicissitudes of the weather.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Tennis

Edition of 1802.
​TENNIS, a play requiring muscular exertion, and at which a ball is driven, by means of a racket.
This game is of French origin, and was introduced into Britain in the 17th century: it is performed in a long court, denominated a tennis-court, across which a net is suspended: through the latter, the ball is stricken by a racket; and, accordingly as it is driven into certain galleries, the game is lost or won.
Tennis is played by sets, each of which comprehends six games; but, if an advantage-set be proposed, 7 successive games must be obtained, by one or other party.—As, however, our limits will not permit us to enter into particulars, the inquisitive reader may consult Mr. Hoyle's "Games Improved," by Mr. Beaufort (12mo. 3s.), in which the rules of tennis are fully explained.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Temperance

Edition of 1802.
​TEMPERANCE, strictly speaking, denotes the virtuous practice of those, who restrain their sensual appetites: it is, however, generally used to express moderation, in which sense it is indiscriminately applied to all the passions.
Temperance has been justly termed the virtue which bridles the inordinate desires: it is, indeed, closely connected with prudence and justice. It silences calumny, and substitutes extenuation for slander; expels avarice from the bosom; and thus demonstrates that true happiness consists not in contemplating useless wealth, or indulging in ambitious pursuits, or in the gratification of a vitiated palate; but in a contented mind. The votary of temperance views with equal disgust, the sallies of unjust resentment, and those of riotous mirth: he beholds the melancholy consequences of intemperance; learns to extinguish revenge, and every desire which humiliates a rational agent; thus proving that such virtue is the parent of many others, while it is attended with peace, prosperity, health, and satisfaction.
Without expatiating on this topic, let it suffice to observe, that it is a duty incumbent on all parents, to rear their children with a strict regard to temperance; as, by adhering to this rule only, they are entitled to enjoy either health or longevity. Those of our readers, ​who are desirous of farther information on this interesting subject, will meet with judicious hints in Mr. Nelson's Essay on the Government of Children, &c. (8vo. 5s. Dodsley); and particularly in Dr. Harwood's little tract, entitled, "Of Temperance and Intemperance," &c. (8vo. 2s. 6d. Becket, 1774): in which their effects on the body and mind, and their influence in prolonging or shortening human life, are dicussed in clear, energetic language; and confirmed by examples.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Tench

Edition of 1802.
​TENCH, or Cyprinus tinca, L. a British fish which delights in still waters; being seldom found in rivers. Its back is of a dusky colour; the head, sides, and belly, of a greenish cast, beautifully variegated with a golden hue, that exhibits the greatest lustre, when the fish is in its highest perfection. The body of this fish, in proportion to its length, is thick and short: it commonly weighs about 4lb. though sometimes amounts to 10, or even 20lbs.
Although the Tench was not much esteemed by the ancients, yet at present it is considered palatable food; and, in point of flavour, equal to that of Carp. If caught from clear waters, their flesh is much superior to those occasionally inhabiting muddy places.
Tench is a simple fish, and is easily taken: the method of angling for it, differs in no material respect from that for Carp, but the hooks and lines should be rather finer; and the sportsman may either use leads or floats, accordingly as the water happens to be more or less obstructed by weeds.—See the article Carp.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Tendons

Edition of 1802.
​TENDONS, or Sinews, in the animal frame, are ligaments, by which the motion of the joints is performed.
The principal affections of tendinous parts, proceed from external violence, by which they may be wounded or lacerated. In these cases, surgical assistance ought to be immediately procured; otherwise, inflammation, fever, and even death, may be the consequence. If a tendon be partly divided, a few drops of Peruvian balsam poured into the wound, will be found an excellent remedy. But the principal relief in wounded or ruptured sinews, will be derived from keeping the limb in such a posture as to relax the muscles, and thus to facilitate the re-union of the injured part; after which, a proper bandage of fine soft flannel should be tightly passed round the limb, in order that the muscles may be retained in a state of ease, till a complete cure be accomplished. If such a ligament be violently distended, as is frequently the case in luxations, the most proper application will be the Arquebusade-water, described, vol. i. p. 103.
A swelling sometimes appears on the tendons, particularly those of the wrist and ankle, where it is called ganglion. Such tumors are of an elastic nature, moveable, and generally arise from external injury, rheumatism, &c.: in many instances, they spontaneously disappear; but in the contrary case, friction, and gentle compression, by means of a thin plate of lead, secured by a proper bandage, will generally be sufficient to remove them. Should this treatment, however, not prove efficacious, or an inflammation of the part ensue, it ​will be advisable not to neglect surgical aid.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Terrier

Edition of 1802.
​TERRIER, or Canis terrarius, a variety of the dog-kind, which is of different colours, being sometimes spotted, though generally of a liver, or black hue: its body seldom exceeds 18 inches in length, and the head is embellished with short, smooth, pendent ears.
Terriers are very useful to agriculturists, especially for exterminating rats, pole-cats, and similar depredators. Farther, these animals are remarkable for their vigilance, and are therefore frequently employed as house-dogs; but their principal services consist in hunting badgers, foxes, rabbits, and other quadrupeds which burrow under ground; because they enter the holes of such wild creatures, and either kill or draw them out of their hiding-places.—An account of the diseases to which terriers are liable, the reader will find in the article Dog.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Terror

Edition of 1802.
​TERROR, or the apprehension of an evil which we are unable to prevent, is one of the most destructive passions inherent in mankind.
Persons of weak nerves, and those who possess a high degree of sensibility, are most frequently subject to the influence of this tormenting passion: hence they are more severely attacked than the robust or phlegmatic; and the only certain method of preventing ill consequences is, that of avoiding every occasion that may tend to re-produce such disastrous impressions.
Terror contracts every muscle, and induces violent palpitations of the heart, spasms, and fainting: the usual evacuations become obstructed; cutaneous eruptions are repelled to the interior organs more essential to life; the whole system is deranged; violent convulsions, fits of epilepsy, and sudden death, are its frequent effects, especially during and after debilitating diseases.
As this passion is productive of such dreadful consequences, it will be advisable immediately to adopt the treatment generally followed in spasmodic affections. Thus, vinegar, spirits of hartshorn, lavender, or other stimulants, are to be held to the nostrils: a little warm tea, or wine and water, may be given to the patient; his feet and legs should also be plunged in a tepid bath; and the suppressed evacuations ought to be speedily restored. The most important object, however, is the recovery of mental tranquillity: for, unless the mind be composed, external ​or physical remedies will seldom prove of effectual service.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Enriching Plants

Edition of 1802.
​ENRICHING PLANTS, a term employed by gardeners to denote such plants as ameliorate land, in consequence of which the same soil will produce a good crop of corn; as, without attending to the culture of such plants, a very indifferent one would have followed.—See Crops.
The necessity of sowing such ​vegetables has, however, been in a great measure superseded by the general adoption of the drill, and horse-hoeing husbandry, by which all weeds are totally eradicated, and consequently they will not obstruct the growth of the corn or other grain that may be sown.—See Drilling.
