marrow Of one marrow bone, a qua rtef of
a pint Of castor oil, half a pint Of Dii bf al
monds, or olive oil (the former IL best hut
fuore expensive), a small lump o~fcamphor,
net larger than q nutmeg, this tttgts be-
poaaded very small, and dissolved In Il little
spirit Of any kind. The marrow IL tiglted
and strained through q bit Of mtisii1y and
mixed with the oil when warm. A few
drops Of oil Of cloves, essetlce Of lemon.
and oil Of RISES, must be added, as without
them the pon1ade would only keep d short
time. Take care when melting the oils
that you do not let them boil, which would
render them rancid. IF you wish a more
sold pomade, add one ounce Of spermaceti,
dissolve this In a cup before the fire, anu
mix with the other ingredients. Tie a
piece OF bladder over each pot Of bottle,
and the pomade win keep good for months.

to The ravaeea o the 1y and bug. MANFRED

When a horse gets in the way If being

is common to apply the whip freely. Solo

may not refer to cases ofthis kind. At any

A method which we have known more sue

His contrarydisposition IL usually the result
oil having been frstted Id sonic way, and
sinIness may overcome it. Make much Of
him at all times. Speak gently 70 him and

10 the carriage or a load and will not move,
approach him in the same gentle q

N on his head. Means Of this kind will
have a powerful tendency fo overcome his

ofcoatrary habits IN Ibis way, while the
application of the whip would onlY increase

The Academcal Department is arranged into three
