Franklin Dyre, a highly res

Galena, Kent CO., Nd. gives the

gratifying results:

in many of cur gardens. I'm

.one and a half ounces Of the
root OF the plant-.the green root
is perhaps preferable, but the
dried will answer, and may be
found in our drug-stores, and was
used by me-slice or bruise, put
it into a pint of fresh milk, boil
down to half pint, strain, and
when cold drink it, fasting at least
six hours alterward. The next
morning, fasting, repeat the dose
prepared as the last, and this will
be sufficient. 1t is recommended
that after each dose nothing be
eaten for at least six hours.
| have a son who was bitten by
a mad dog eighteen years ago, and
four other children in the neigh
borhood were also bitten; they
took the above dose, and are alive
and we'll TO this day. And have
known number of others who
were bitten and applied the same
remedy.
1t is supposed that the root con-
tains a principle which, being Ia
ken up by the blood in its circula-
ton, counteracts or neutralizes the
deadly effects OF the virus of n.y.
drophobia.

WATERING PLANTs.-A writer
in an exchange says: Plants set
against walls aud piazzas frequent
ly suffer from want of water at
this season, when even ground
near them is quite wet. Draw
away the soil from each plant so
as to form a basin; fill in with a
bucketful of water, allowing it
time to soak gradually away, and
when the surface has dried a lit
tie, draw in loosely the soil over
it, and it will do without water for
some weeks. This applies to all
plants wanting water through the
season. II water is merely poured
on the surface, it is made more
compact by the weight of water,
and the harder the soil becomes
the easier it dries; and the result
is the more water you give the more
is wanted.-E1chonge.

RICE FLOUR CEMENT.-This &C.
ment, much used in China and ia
pan, is made by mixing fine rice
-four with cold water, and SIM
mering over a slow fire until a
thick paste is formed. This is
said to be superior to any other
paste either for parlor or workshop
purposes. When made of the con-
sistence of plaster clay, models,
busts, bas-reliefs, &C., are formed of
it, and the articles, when dry, are
susceptible of high polish, and very
durable.

How to make Spruce Beer

AS the season is at hand when
pleasant summer drinks, free from
alcoholic influence, are frequently
brewed by the housewife, or the
well brought up daughters, who
ought to be taught little of eve
rything in the way of household
duties, we append the following re-
ceipts, which are claimed to be ex-
cellent:
l. Take three gallons of water
of blood warmth, three half pints
of molasses, a tablespoonful of es-
sence of spruce, and the like guam
tity of ginger; mix we'll together
with gill of yeast; let stand
over night, and bottle in the morn
ing. 1t will be in a good condition
to drink in twenty-four hours. 1t
is palatable, wholesome beverage.
2. Those who prefer mead have
only to substitute honey for the
molasses named above, and for one
third the ginger use allspice. Half
the quantity of yeast will be suf-
fcient, and the bottling should oc-
cur the second day instead of the
next morning. It will be fit to
drink in four days after being bot
tied, and will keep for many
weeks. a small quantity of alco-
hol is formed during the fermenta-
ton, and this prevents the acetous
fermentation so common to spruce
beer. The essence of spruce is
of course left out in the making
of mead. The alcohol formed
from the fermentation of honey
resembles that found in metheglin,
while the alcohol formed from the
fermentation of molasses is rum.
Those who imagine that they can
make either spruce beer or mead
without entirely forming any alco-
hol are mistaken; but it is present
in SO light a proportion as not to
be sensible to the most delicate
temperance nerves.
