Condensed Beer.-Mr. Lockwood de-
scribes, in the Journal of the Society of
Arts, his patent solid or condensed
beer. Beer is taken at its best cOndi-
ton its alcohol is separated and saved
by q methed of gentle distillatiOn in
rdcuo, and the residue is condensed in
a vacuum pan, like milk; when finished.
it is enclosed in Theoretically sealed
packages. the alcohol first being added
to it again, and acting as a preserva-
tive. The fermentation, which was
present in the beer when it was taken.
is suspended by the heating, and the
condensed beer remains sound in this
condition, apparently for any length
of time, as some exists that has now
been kept for nearly two years. When
re-made by adding water. it is not
wort, but real beer, having all Its fla
vor and alcoholic strength, and lacking
only effervescence, which can be quick
ly impaired by reviving the suspended
fermentation in order to develop suf-
ficient carboRic acid gas to give it the
required briskness or it is fit TO drink
Immediately if charged with carbOnic
acid gas, like aerated water.

RICE PUDDING.-Rice pudding is GER
tainly very familiar, but this receipt is
peculiar from the fact that it contains
neither raisins, butter nor water. Take
two quarts of new milk, five ounces of
rice and five ounces of sugar, flavor ac-
cording to taste and add little salt.
Place the mixture where it will heat
slowly, and stir occasionally while the
rice is swelling. When the milk is
boiling hot place the pudding in a
modern oven and bake for one hour.
Do not stir the pudding after placing it
in the oven, but try to ascertain if the
rice is done before removing it. Serve
cold. This is certainly very simple
pudding, but it is much preferable to
the more elaborate receipts containing
fifteen or twenty ingredients.

Cduses of Spotaneoss Combustion.-
An account is given in the London
Er0isecr, of some experiments made
with 4 view to determine the causes
and operation of Spontaneous combus-
tion. 1t appears that in one instance,
a ANAL Quantity of cotton waste,
soaked in olive oil, was loosely packed
in q paper box, exposed to . tempera-
ture Of about one hundred and thirty
degrees, Fab. Active combustion took
plsce in little more than five hours, and
second experiment yielded the same
result in less than six hours. Cotton.
soaked in rape oil and put In . box
subjected to . temperature OF about
one hundred and seventy degrees, was
found-bOth box and cOtton-in ashes
within ten hours. Cotton waste soaked
in seal oil, with An applied tempera-
ture of one hundred and thirty degrees.
exhibited ignition in one hundred min.
utes the specific gravity of this oil
Wss .99S. Lard oil, with specific Rra-
vity of .916, produced combustion In
four hours. the applied temperature
being as above. These temperatures,
as is well known. are such as often Oc-
cur in the neighbOrh0Od of . steam
pipe, or under exposure to the suns
rays, involving, therefore, imminent
liability to ignition and disaster.
Mention is also made of some expe.
riments conducted with silk instead OF
cotton, and, although neither flame nor
took place, yet the heat
was of sufficient degree to
explode gunpowder, and this tempera-
ture was reached more rapidly In the
oo.a Of s;lk than of cntfOu In view of
these facts, therefore, the following
are regarded as clearly
First, that oiled waste,
whether silk or cotton, should under
all circumstances be looked upon with
suspicion, as liable to Spontaneous igni-
ton under moderately elevated tenn
peratures and, secondly, that silk
waste is at least as dangerous as cot
ton, or even more 80, in o building
Gunpowder, or other ma,
terial which is capable of being ignited
or exploded without the actual appli-
cation in flame.

DR.. schenck.. standard Remedies.

The standard remedies for all diseases
of the lungs are SCHENCK'S PULMONIC
SYRUP, SCHESCK's SEA WEED Tonic,
and SCHENCX's MANDRAKE PILLS, and,
if taken before the lungs are destroyed,
a speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines DIR. j. H.
Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his un-
rivalled success in the treatment of pull
mOnary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the NOR
bid matter in the lungs; nature throws
it off by an easy expectoration, for when
the phlegm or matter is ripe a slight
cough will throw il oft, the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.-
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do
this, Schenck's Mandrake Pills and
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must be
freely used to cleanse the stomach and
liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on
the liver, removing all distractions, re-
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts
freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle
stimulant and Alternative; the alkali of
which it is composed, mixes with the
food and prevents souring. 1t assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach
to healthy condition, so that the food
and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good
blood; then the lungs heal, and the pa
tient will surely get well if care is taken
10 prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DIR. Schenck,
either personally or by letter, can do so
at his principal Office, corner of SIXTH
and ARCH STREETS, Philadelphia, every
Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all
druggists throughout the country.

cred new and convenient method of
preparing the the 0xychloride of sui
phur, also known as sulDhuryl chloride,
SO3 Cla This was accomplished by
taking sulphuryl Oxychloride (SOs. HO,
Ci,)which is formed by the union of
sulphuric anhydride with hydrOchloric
acid, and sealing it up in glass tubes
which were heated for 10 or IA hours to
9 temperature of 33S deg. to 1856 deg.
the contents of the tube, pure sulphu-

IMITATION OF WALNUT.-The follow
ing is said to be very superior method
for staining any kind of wood in imita-
ton of walnut, while it is also cheap,
and simple i'm its manipulation. The
wood, previously thoroughly dried and
warmed, is coated once or twice with
stain composed of l part, by weight, of
extract of walnut-peel, dissolved in 6
parts of soft water by heating it to boil
ing, and stirring. The wood thus
treated, when half dry, is brushed with
a solution of l part, by weight, of
bichromate of potash in . parts of boil
ing water, and is then allowed to dry
thoroughly, and is to be rubbed and
polished as usual. Red beech and elder,
under this treatment, assume a most
deceptive resemblance to American
walnut. The color is fixed i'm the wood
to depth of one or two lines.

MILK DIEr.-''I find by experience, !"
says DIR. Z. N. Chapman, ''that lime
water and milk is not only food and
medicine at an early period of life, but
also at a later, when, as in the case OF
infants, the functions of digestion and
assimilation have been seriously i'm
paired. A stomach taxed by gluttOny,
irritated by improper food, inflamed by
alcohol, enfeebled by disease, or other
wise untitled for its duties, as is shown
by the various symptoms attendant upon
indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhGa, dysen-
terry and fever, will resume its work
and do it energetically, on an exclusive
diet of lime water and milk. A goblet
of cows milk, to which four tablespoon
fuls of lime-water have been added, will
agree with any person, however objec-
tionable the plain article may be, will
be friendly to the stomach when other
food is oppressive, and will be digested
when all else fails to afford nourish-
ment. OF this statement l have had
positive proof in very many cases.
1.-The blood being thin, the nerves
weak, the nutrition poor, the secretions
defective, and excretions insufficient,
the physician has at hand remedy as
common as the air, and as cheap almost
as water. In it all the elements of nu-
Irition are so prepared by Nature as to
be readily adapted to the infant or the
adult stomach, and so freighted with
healing virtues as TO work a cure when
drugs are worse than useless"

The OMELET As IT SHOULD BE.-The
mind that invented the omelet was
capable of greater things. Many per-
sons think they have made and eaten
Omelets when they have not. Anything
that Is made of eggs stirred up and
solidifled over the fire Is supposed to be
an omelet, but 1t isn't. have heard OF
people who put -four in it. Flour takes
fifteen or twenty minutes to cook, and
an omelet Is made in one minute; and
raw -four is not wholesome or appe-
tizing. The true omelet Is pile OF
terror stricken eggs and milk; It trem-
bles with every jar, and crouches In q
delicious, quivering mass upon the
plate; he who puts a silver knife into It
will find q porous fiaky material, most
impa.uable to the touch, that will melt
as quickly as a snowflake in his mouth.
Upon reflection he will be willing to
admit that hens were not made In vain.
Proceed in this way, If you wish to
make an Omelet: Have some Iresn
eggs, not omelet eggs. All eggs that
will not by any possibility do to boil are
put away in restaurants to make omeiet
with, Break them into q china bowl.
If they are fresh the white will be rs
clear as a maiden's eye, and the yolk as
round as the pupil of it. Add table
spoonful of milk for every egg, and
whip the whole as thoroughly as you
would for sponge cake. The omelet
pan has previously been put on the fire
and made 80 hot that butter will melt
and almost brown in it, but not quite.
When in this condition you are to turn
the whipped egg and milk into the pan,
and put it directly over the fire. Get
thin bladed knife, and run 1t carefully
under the bottom of the egg, so as to let
that which is not cooked get below. IL
the fire is right, the whole mass will
swell and puff and cook in minute; II
it is not carefully attended to, 1t Will
burn on the bottom, and burned egg is
most offensive in smell and taste. 1t Is
not necessary to wait until the whole
mass Is solid, as its own heat viii COOK
it after it has left the pan; but begin at
one side and carefully roll the edge over
and over until it Is all rolled up, and
then let 1t stand for moment to brown,
and turn it out on hot plate and serve
it, or what is better, eat 1t yourself
Immediately. You must not put one
grain of salt in it while il is cooking, or
all your hopes and your omelet will
fiatten down together. If it Is properly
made it will be like Summer sunset,
rich with crimson and yellow hues, and
the SAVIOR will gladden. the heart. If
any one has fancy for mixing finely
minced ham with the egg batter, they
will make ham omelet; or for sur
rounding 1t with stewed kidneys and
smearing a little of the sauce thereof
about the egg after it is cooked, they
will have kidney omelet; or by pour
ing rum over it and setting the same on
fire, they will have an ''Omelet au
rhum;" or by sprinkling granulated
sugar over it, it will be an ''omelet-
sucre;" but all these are simply inven-
tiOns of the enemy to see how vilely
they can ill-treat good thing, and yet
not utterly ruin it.-Pen and Plough.
