PEppER.-Pepper is an almost uni
versol condiment. Black pepper irri-
tates and inAames the coating Of the
stomach, red pepper does not; it ex-
cites but does not irritate, consequently
it should be used instead of black pep
per- It was known to the Romans, and
has been in use in the East Indies from
time immemorial, as it corrects that
hatulenoe which attends the large use
Of vegetable food Persons in health
do not need any pepper in their food;
but TO those of weak and languid stom-
achs, it is manifold more beneficial to
use cayenne pepper at meals, than any
form of wine, brandy, or beer that can
be named; because it stimulates with
out the reaction Of sleepiness or debili-
ty.- Halls Journal Of Health.
PorAroEs.-At this season Of the
year, potatoes often become unfit for
use by being watery. Even watery po-
tatoes, however, may be rendered mealy
by the following process:--Peel the po-
tato while raw, and drop it into boiling
hot water, in which small Jumps of
lime have been previously dissolved,
and boil until done.
How TO CooL WATER IF it is de-
sired to cool water for drinking in warm
weather, and ice cannot be obtained for
this purpose, let it be kept in an un-
glazed carthenware pitcher wrapt around
with two or three folds Of coarse cotton
cloth kept constantly wet. The theory
Of cooling water in this manner is the
absorption of heat from it, by the evap-
Grafton of the moisture in the cotton
cloth--cxpansion produces cold, com
preston heat.
How TO SToP BLooD-Take the fine dust
Of teas, or scapiugs Of the inside Of tanned
! leather and bind IL close upon the wound
and The blood will soon cease TO flow. These
articles are recommended because they are al
all times accessible, aud easy to be obtained
A rter the blood has ceased 10 flow, laudauum
