SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.

BROTH ImPRomPTu.--Should you have occasion
for a basin of broth in a hurry, it can be prepared. in a
few minutes by boiling a table-spoonful of grits in a
pint of water, addinc, four or five sprigs of parsley,
two drops of eschala vinegar (vide Epicure's Al-
manac, 1841), a teaspoonful of mixed sweet herb's ;
when all has boiled up twice, strain through a fine
sieve, and serve with toasted bread.
GINGERBREAD.-Put on a slab or table a pound of
flour, make a ring of it ; put half a pint of treacle in,
mix well together till forming a stiff paste, working it
well. Put some flour in a basin, to which add your
dough ; it will keep thus for seven or eight weeks.
When you want to use it, put in any quantity of
ground ginger you require, according to taste ; mix
well, roll thin; cut any size you like ; pieces about the
size of a crown are the best ; then put them on a
baking sheet, bake for a few minutes, till crisp. These
cakes will keep a long while if put in air-tight cases.
An ounce of butter may be used to every pound of
paste. _ _

- GROUND RICE CAKE.—Break five eggs into a
stewpan, which place in another containing hot water ;
whip the eggs for ten minutes till very light, then
mix in by degrees half a pound of ground rice, six
ounces of powdered sugar ; beat it well ; any flavour
may be introduced : pour into buttered pan, and bake
half an hour.
LITTLE MILK CAKE FOR BREAKFAST.—PIace on
a table or slab one pound of flour, half a teaspoonful of
salt, two of sugar, three of fresh yeast,- or a very small
piece of German, two ounces of butter and one egg ;
have some new milk, pour in a gill, mix all together,
adding more milk to form a nice dough, then put
some flour in a cloth, put' the dough in and lay it
in a warm place ; let it rise for about two hours, cut
it in pieces about the size of eggs, roll them even, and
mark the top with a sharp knife ; egg over and bake
quick : serve hot or cold.
A COMMON SoRT.---Only yeast, salt, milk, and
butter, and proceed as before.
LEMON PUDDING.---Put in a basin a quarter of a
pound of flour, same of sugar, same of bread crumbs
and chopped suet, the juice of one good-sized lemon,
and the peel grated, two eggs, and enough to make it
the consistency of porridge ; boil in a basin for one
hour ; serve with or without sauce.

TO GAS CONSUMERS

THE PATENT GAS REGULATOR insures a
saving of 25 per Cent. upon former consumption, while at
the same time a more brilliant light is obtained, and the un-
pleasant effects upon respiration, gilding, colours, &c., resulting
from the escape of unconsumed Gas, are, by a more perfect com-
bustion, avoided.
Gas is generally delivered from the Street Mains at a pressure
of la inches of water, often reaching to 3 inches. Experiments
have demonstrated that when of good quality it is most economi-
cally burnt at a pressure of four-tenths of an inch.
The Patent Regulator, when once adjusted, continues to furnish
Gas at one uniform pressure. unaltered by the constant fluctua-
tions of the street supply, and in its action is entirely independent
of the number of burners it supplies.
At the undermentioned Offices an Experimental-room is fitted
up to demonstrate the results as above stated. The Regulator has
been thoroughly and practically tested at the numerous Railway
Companies, large Establishments, Public Institutions, and Private
Mansions, to which we can with pleasure and satisfaction refer as
the best proof of its utility and value.

ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL

possesses peculiarly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration,
and improvement of the Human Hair, and is now universally
acknowledged to be the cheapest, and superior to all other prepa-
rations for the Hair. It prevent* it from falling off or turning
grey—strengthens weak hair—cleanses it from Scurf and Dandruff
.—and makes it beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation
in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; and in the growth of the
Beard, Whiskers, Eyebrows, and Mustachios, it is unfailing in its
stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recommended,
as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair. In dressing the
hair nothing_can equal its effect, rendering it so admirably soft
that it will lie in any direction, and imparting a transcendant
lustre. Price as. 6d. and 7s. ; Family Bottles (equal4o four small),
10s. 6d.; and double that size, 21s.
CAUTION.—On the wrapper of each Bottle are the words,
" Rowlands' Macassar Oil," in two lines.
A beautiful Complexion, and Soft Hands and Arms, are fully
realised and sustained by the use of
ROWLANDS' KALYDOR,

an Oriental Botanical preparation which, by its action on the
pores and minute secretory vessels of the skin, promotes a
healthy tone, so essential to its general well-being and the beauty
of its appearance. Freckles,•Tan, Pimples, Spots, Discolouration,
and other Cutaneous Visitations•are eradicated by the KALYDOR,
and give place to a radiant bloom and transparency of complexion.
During the heat and dust of summer, and in cases of sunburn,
stings of insects, or incidental inflammation, its virtuts have long
and extensively been acknowledged. Price 4s. Gd. and Bs. 6d:
per bottle.

Sound and White Teeth are not only indispensably requisite to
a pleasing exterior in both sexes, but they are peculiarly appre•
ciated through life as highly conducive to health and longevity.
Among the varied preparations offered for the purpose,
•

ROWLANDS' ODONTO, OR PEARL DENTIFRICE,

stands unrivalled. Prepared from Oriental Herbs with , unusual
care, transmitted to this country at great expense, this unique
compound will be found to eradicate all tartar and concretions,
and impart a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface, re-
move spots of incipient decay, render the gums firm and red, fix
the teeth firmly in their sockets, and from its aromatic influence
imparts sweetness and purity to the breath. Price 28. 9d. per box.

and "A. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, engraved on the

"SPIRIT OF PUNCH."

A WASHED DuKE.---The Glasgow Citizen, in de-
scribing the personal appearance of some of the savans
assembled at the meeting of the British Association,
is good enough to remark of the Duke of Argyll,
that he looked " superlatively clean." Did the Scotch
reporter muddle the modicum of French in his pos-
session, and think it was a case of savon instead of
savant? Or, is it such a wonder that a Scotch duke
should be physically clean ? Some of the Scotch
dukes (like some of the English ones) have done very
dirty things in their time, but it was hardly a matter of
surprise that the Duke of Argyll, who, moreover, is a
very estimable 'young man, should have washed his
face and put on a clean shirt upon such an occasion.
To be sure such a luxurious demonstration might ex-
cite a :trifle more notice in Glasgow than in most
places, but even there the upper classes occasionally
set examples of unobjectionable neatness. The Citizen
has been showing his freedom rather unwarrantably.
AN ACQUISITION TO PLAIN ENGLISH.—The writer
of Notes and Sketches [in the Morning Post makes
the following remark, among others of a more judicious
character, on the subject of " Discourse :"—" To say
that some point has been excluded, or left out of the
question, is much better than to say it has been

the accountants estimated that a surplus of £25,000 will be
realised by the sale of the business property. It was stated,
on behalf of Mr. Mare, that the real surplus would probably
reach £lOO,OOO, if the property be not sacrificed. Five gen-
tlemen were appointed to assist the official assignees in carry-
ing on the business until the 12th of October, when the trade
assignees will be appointed.

wholly alleviate. Even those who thought an attack on the
Redan useless and unwise, inasmuch as the possession of the
Malakhoff would, in their opinion, render the Redan untenable,
could not but regret bitterly that, as we had given the assault,
we had not achieved a decisive triumph, and that so much
blood had been, if not ingloriously, at least fruitlessly, poured
forth.

AGRICULTURE.

THIN SEEDING.—I. H. W., writing to the j,,,
tural Gazette, says :---The very intelligent mastery.
the Newmarket Union showed on Bth Sept.
grain of wheat of the crop 1852. It threw up se 0o
spires, which were transplanted about 14th Nov; pa,
about the 20th Aug., when the crop was gathered'
there were 131 heads ; these contained 5,700 g 1.311;
and a few over. The yield more than filled a tumble
and the weight of it was 91 oz. The master 01111.05
and weighed the grains himself. I enclose a few gr,310,
as a sample. Contrast this with the ordinary Pew,
Two bushels per acre would be considered a thin 10
ing, and 40 bushels per acre a good yield---in 01 er
words, 20 fold ; here we have 5,700 fold. On a f°llllted
last 000
occasion he sowed one grain in Sept., and transPl3ll4
the spires in Nov.;and again in Feb.; and the P,e
then was above 6,5'00 ; but he has not the evet Pa. 4
titulars. Again, in order to see whether old or
be
wheat threw up the strongest spires, he sowed 0,;
25th Aug., one grain of the crop 1851; one do. ISatce
one do. 1853 ; one do. 1854; one do. 1855. And,e
relative heights of the species on the 7th Sept.
1851, 51- inches ; 1852, 4-1.; 1853, 5 ; 1854, 41;1'1;
3-1---the spires from the old seed taller and strong'.

A SNOW-STORM- IN YARROW---A CALM

(From Professor Wilson's " Nodes Ambrosia;ue,"
Vol. I)

SHEPHERD : I'se tell you, and judge for yoursel.
At four in the mornin, it was that hard frost that
the dubs were bearin, and the midden was as bard
as a rickle o' stanes. We couldn a plant the
potawtoes. But the lift was clear. Between
eight and nine, a snaw-storm came doun frae the
mountains about Loch Skene, noo a whirl, and
noo a blash, till the grun' was whitey-blue, wi' a
sliddery sort o' sleet, and the Yarrow began to roar
wi' the melted broo, alang its frost-bound borders,
and aneath its banks, a' hanging wi' icicles,
nane o' them thinner than my twa arms. Wed,
then, about eleven it began to rain, for the wand
had shifted—and afore denner-time, it was an
evendoun pour. It fell town about sax—and the
air grew close and sultry to a degree that was
fearsome. Wha wud hae expeckit a thunder-
storm on the eve o' sic a day ? But the heavens,
in the thundery airt, were like a dungeon—and I
saw the lightning playing like meteors athwart
the blackness, lang before ony growl was in the
gloom. Then, a' at ante, like a waukened lion,
the thunder rose up in his den, and shaking his
mane o' brindled clouds, broke out into sic a roar
that the very sun shuddered in eclipse—and the
grews and collies that happened to be sittin
beside me on a bit knowe, gaed whinin into the
house wi' their tails atween their legs, just yen-
turin a haflin glance to the howling heavens noo
a' in a low, for the fire was strong and fierce in
electrical matter, and at intervals the illuminated
mountains seemed to vomit out conflagration like
verra volcanoes.
