TALES, SKETCHES, &c.
THE JEWISH PASSOVER.

| The Oldest existing festival in the world
the Passover; begins this year on Monday
evening, the l7th of April, at 6 o'clock, and
continues for eigh, days. During the week
OF Passover the Jews eat no leavened bread
and Mr.. Cist, after having visited the Jews
synagogue in Cincinnati, gives the following
account Of their preparation Of bread for the
Festivals: -,
AS the Passover, which is an annual feast,
approaches, it become necessary to prepare
the bread which constitutes for eight days
the sole food o f the Jews-eght millions Of
the human race. For that portion who re-
side here, as well as to supply some of the
brethren in the West, seyeniy-ive barrels of
-four are required for 4S. For this, proper
provision ID made of the finest ofihe wheat.
Before this is ground The mill machinery
of wood and iron, together with the stones
are taken down and thoroughly ceansed
from what may be found adhering 10 them,
so that not a particle ef ferfnented -four may
by any possibility enter into the -four ground
for this purpose. The article is then packed
in barrels, as means of being taken 10 the
Synagogue basement. Here il is uDpacked
and sfted thorough y. The -four is made
into dough, water perfectly purified being
employed for the purpose. The dough is
kneaded by hand in copper vessels, and then
taken to circular block, covered also with
copper where it is beaten by powerful
lever It then taken TO platform, pass
ed between two copper cylinders, ahd rolled
out lengths about Twelve or fourteen inch
es wide and ten or twelve feet long, being
thus reduced as thin us possible. Ii is then
pricked by machinery and the lengths cut
into strips Of about eight inches, and w,loni
loss Of time transferred TO the oven, where
owiIg TO its extreme thinness, it bakes i'm
media,ely.
These cakes, although composed Of -four
and water simply, are extremely palaiable,
owing, | suppose, to the thorough kneading
and baking, which renders fist rate cracker
so relshing. T ey are porous and easily
digeslible, in which respect they are we'll
adapted to invalids and dyspeptics. They
are SO light and bulky that il takes eight or
ten to pound, and therefore forty pounds
will doubtless fill a barrel. As they form
The exclusive food of the Jews during the en-.
tire feast Of unleavened bread, il will take
million Of these cakes for the ensuing festi-
val TO supply the wants ofthe thirty five hun
dred Jews---o d and young--of Cincinnati.

ANOTHER REMEDY FOR KIDNEY WoRM. -
Mn BArRHAM:--I have observed, in late
number of the Cultivator, several remedies
for the kidney worms inhogs--one of them
a cruel one. have in my time paid good
deal ofaitention to the rearing OF those USE
ful animals, and also observed the diseases
incident to them. The best remedy for the
kidney worm, is the following powder, given
according to their age, from tablespoon To
teaspoon full, in little thick slop, for one
whole week: ~ 44t
Bayberries, flower Of sulphur, each one

ing and evening. s4asiE 81
But. the best cure, is preventative
lie, the hogs have access always to rotten
wood, charcoal, or stone coal, and give them
always plenty Of salt.
Want Of sali and sulphur is the cause ol
the worms. The great fact is this--a hog

WOMEN.

II is refreshing TO behold tho improving
destiny OF the vittuoUs sex, from whom we
derive our being. Woman awakens in the
heart too many fond associations and sym.
pathies--too many recollections oflove---too
many dreams Of bliss! not to fling over the
mini glow of cxultation, when we gaze at
her prsgress in the Improvements Of our So
cial conditon.-Though untitled by Nature,
in many respects, for "rough and tumble"
competition with the sterner business quail
ties Of man, yet she possesses tact, and a
perseverance that cannot fail ~ reward her
by the fruits Of industry. We hope to see
the time when the march Of lbetal princi-
Piles towards rational adjustment Of the
relative profits and enjoyrnents Of this world
shall open 10 female competition all the pro-
fessions of life. A young lady is now EN-.
gagged in the study OF the Medical profession

One Of the greatest dehiands Of delicacy. is
10 place the health Of females in the keep
ing of their own sex. Why should man
usurp all the produ.iye stations of life--all
The conservative professions, even at the sac
riice of the noblest chasti,es Of our nature? !?
We are no, over fastidiu"s in our estimate
Of female modes y, but we claim for Woman
the just respect due 10 her natural sensibili-
ties. Incredulous 10 all the charges of i'm
beciliiy brought against the intellect Of wo-
man, we would have her sphere of useful
ness TO society, and Of happiness to herself
measured by actual experience, instead Of
the presumpiuous doemas of an abstract
philosophy that has pride for its basis, vani-
ty for its deductions, and the erclusiue pow
er Of man, for its right to dictate the boun-
daries Of Nature in the sublime excursions
Of intellect We need not cite De Stdsl,
an Edgeporth, Norton, Montague, and
thousands Of others in the annals Of female
fame, to establish what the world, in the
present age, universally admissible intel
ec.ual power Of woman. Under that ad-
mission, we indulgein in the delightful aatici-
paIion Of her universal usefulness. Ever

AGRICULTURE,

OK THE USE OF SALT A certain portion
of common salt is necessary 10 man, and all
gramiuivorous animals, for the purpose Of di.
gesiion; and SO much as is necessary for
this purpose, will be useful in, or with food.
All which is consumed more than which is
strictly necessary, will be injurious, by caus-
ing too great relaxation, ard producing scor-
butte symptoms. Excessive use of salt has
also tendency to produce painful nervous
affections Of the face, and defective teeth
In Spring. when all other animals are lively
and frolicksome, persons who eat Too much
salt meat complain Of the Spring fever, and
that they can hardly draw one leg after the

So far as health is concerned, the good
housewife can hardly soak OF boil too much
salt out Of meat which has been used with
salts and it is only to crafty diseased appe-
ti,es, that such meat is preferred cooked
without being ffeshened.---O Ohio Caltirator.
