\ FIRE PRooF CEMENT.-The French
cement for the roofs Of houses, to pre-
serve the wood and protect it from fire,
is made in the following manner:
Take as much lime as is usual in ma
king pot full of whitewash, and let it
lbe mixed in a pail full of water; in this
put two and a alfpounds of brown SUI
gar, and three pounds of fine salt; mix
them we'll together, and the cement is
completed. a little lampblack, yellow
ochre, coloring commodity, may be in
troduced to change the color of the &C.
! nent, to please the fancy Of those who
! use it. 1t has been used with great sue
} cess, and been recommended particularly
as protection against fire. Small sparks
of fire, that frequently lodge on the roofs
of houses, are prevented by this cement
from burning the shingles. SO cheap

II The Misses Cummings, two sisters celebra-
t ted by Horace Walpole for their extraordi-
/ mary beauty, afterwards became, the one
d Duchess of Hamilton, the other lady Coven-
try. Their marvellous beauty is commence
i rated by many writers of the time and John
Bull displayed his native curiosity in pursu-
:, ing them with stares whithersoever they went.
u Walpoe says:
"You who knew England in other times,
e VIII lind it difficult to conceive what an indif-
n ference rcigns with regard to ministers and
s their squabbles. The two Miss Cummings,
and late extravagant dinner at Whites are
twenty times more the subject of conversa-
:. tion than the two brothers, and Lord Gran
), vile. These are two Irish girls, of no for
i tune, who are declared the handsomest wo-
at men alive l think their being two, SO hand
K some, and both such perfect figures, is their
Ne chief excellence, for singly have seen ruch
as hancsomer women than either however they
ID can't walk in the Park, or to Vauxhal, but
e. that such mobs follow them, that they are
q. generally driven away
), The world is still mad about til Geunnings:
, the Duchess OF Hamilton was presented on
lie FRIDAY, INC crowd was so great that even the
le noble mob IN the drawing room clambered
upon chairs and tables to look at her. There
II are mobs at their doors to see them get into
Of their chairs al people so early to get pa-
r. ccs at the theatres when it is known they
at will be there. DR.. Sacheve never made
at more noise than these two beauties.
