Donessse Recipes.
To DEsTRoY IxsECm-Carboline is said
to destroy all insects, and, in weak solution
Of water, will prevent flies from teasing
horses, ifthey are washed with it, care being
taken not to get it into the eyes. Pennyroyal
stepped in water, used as wash will pro-
duce similar effect.
CEMENT FOR IRON AND SroNE.-Glyce-
rine and itharge stirred, to paste, hardens
rapidly, and makes durable cement for iron
upon iron, for two stone surfaces, and e.
Pec'ally for fastening iron in stone. The &C.
ment Is insoluble, and is not attacked by
strong acids.
PICKLED PEACHE-Eight pounds of
peaches and four Of sugar. Make syrup Of
the sugar, and put in few peaches at a
time. Cook them until fork will enter
them easily, skim them out and put in more
fruit. When all are cooked put them in a
jar, boil down the syrup quite thick, add
pint Of good vinegar, and pour over the
fruit Spices to suit your taste.
LIQUID GLUE.-Experience has shown
that glue undergoes chemical change when
dried in the air, and its adhesive properties
are decidedly deteriOrated. To avoid this,
says Prot. Wagner, in his report for 1859,
some Of the manufacturers have introduced
pure liquid glue in close packages, which is
said to be superior to the dry article. 1t is
prepared by digeting bones in a peculiarly
constructed apparatus, and is sold according
to fixed specific gravity, 50 that the pur-
chaser does not pay for the water, which in
dry glue sometimes amounts to II per cent.
The price is also less than for dry glue.
To RENDER PAPER WATER-TiGHT.-The
ammonia oxide ofcopperis solvent for silk,
paper, and cellulose. If its action be limi-
ted 10 lew moments it converts the surfaces
into gelatinOus mass, and Scofern pro-
poses to employ this property TO render the
paper water-tight. If in the mill the end
less sheet of PAPER is made to pass at q proper
velocity through the ammonia copper solu-
tiOn, and is afterward dried and pressed, the
surfaces will be converted into a species of
parchment, and will be ater-tight. The
rate of speed for the rollers must be matter
of experiment
10 REMOVE TIE SKIN FEoM PEACHES.-
Every one knows that there is great loss of
pulp in pairing peaches with a knife, to OBJ
yiate which the following method has been
suggested for treating them: Make I've az
strong as possible of wood ashes and soft |
water. Fill kettle with the I've, and when |
boiling rapidly drop in twelve or eighteen
peaches, and take out Immediately, and i'm
merse them in pail of cold water. Take
one in your hand and the rind will slip off |
entirely, leaving round, beautiful, yellow |
ball; throw it Immediately into another pail |
Of pure water, and 90 proceed until all are |
done. If the I've is not strong enough, put |
into the kettle two clippers full of clean
wood ashes. This is an excellent way Of |
Kidding small onions of their jackets pre-
paratory to picking them, also for peeling |
tomatoes.
King WilliaW and Louis Napoleon.
Gas cannot die at the head of the army,
| lay my sword at the feet of your Majesty"
Thus the Emperor of the French to his guam
dam friend and royal compeer Koenig Viii
helm /, of Prussia. But a few years back
We remember to have seen these two, the
victor and the vanquished, seated amicably
together in one of the imperial roitures which
was being driven at the time through the
Bots de BOulogne. They chatted apparently
with the freedom and unreserve that might
mark the intercourse Of old friends; turning
every now and then to acknowledge the
bows of many a Passer by. No royal
oortege attended the two sOvereigns on the
beautiful evening drive. No pOmp, no dis
play, no sign Of rank, none of the glitter Of
the court wen: with them. 1t was as though
two unpretending citizens had driven forth
10 inhale the pure air of the Bots, or to en-
Joy an hour Of social communication in its
shade. The beaming counte-
nance Of the kind old German King was as
benignant as the sky above him was clear.
He might have passed for a venerable gen.
leman Of fortune, who had Withdrawn from
he cares Of business; retired wine mer-
liant, for instance, possessed Of extensive
Estates upon the Rhine, a man whose culture
IF the grape had impaired to his char
lcter some of its generous glow and richness,
md to his cheeks some of its rosy bloom.
But the man who sat beside him never
miled. His face was pale and puffy, a.
hough disease had dried within him the
ountains of health; his complexion Of
milky hue, as though his blood never noun
ed above his shirt collar When bystan-
he latter returned but cold and distant re-
ngnition. Evidently he had forgotten
hat afternoon to shift from his
mpire. He talked much to his companion,
nut his speech seemed frozen. There
vas no humor in his expression, no sparkle
n his eye. II was as though sphinx had
zen endowed with voice, but denied all mo !
ility of feature, all play of countenance.
'hus, Louis Napoleon and William of Prns-
in, passed before our eyes one after
oon six years ago. What a change has
ONE Ger the spirit of that scene since then!
What a transformation from William, hos
itably entertained as the guest of Bonapate,
nd that same Bonaparte robbed of mis-
repter and his sword, a prisoner in the
ands Of that same William.-N T. Com.
