THE recipe for the original Spalding's

as follows: To one pound of good glue
put three pints of cold water and let it
soak fifteen hours, then melt in hot
water bath when melted and thoroughly
mixed, add one quart of crude acetic
acid and three ounces of cheap glycerine
and stir well together. If too thick, add
more acetic acid. Vinegar in the place
of the acid won't answer.

Among the wonders of nature in
Algeria, there is river of natural ink.
1t is formed by the junction of two
streams, one flowing from region of fer
ruginous soil, and the other draining a
peat swamp. The waters of the first
are. of course, very strongly impregnated
with iron; those of the latter with gallic
acid. On meeting the acid of one stream
is united with the iron of the other, and
a true ink is the result. The banks of
the united streams would be, of all
placesin the world, the colony of authors.
Fields of esparto grass, for paper-making,
might be sown in the neighborhood, the
paper-mills might be turned by the inky
flood, and geese be reared to supply quill
pens. The members of the republic of
letters would there do nothing all day
long but sit dangling their feet in the
water, occasionally dipping their pens
ina peaceful crew, except, perhaps.
when they would please each other by
reading long extracts from their unpub-
lished works.

To DRESS FISH A SECOND TIME.-To
a small quantity of fish taken from the
bones, add four tablespoonfuls of bread
crumbs, two eggs, two ounces of butter,
a little essence of anchovy, and little
pepper and salt. Mix these all well to-
gether then steam it until well heated.
SLEEPING HINTs.-If sleeping with the
mouth open should make the throat
sore, pass broad elastic band from
the anterior portion of the lower jaw over
top of head, and make it sufficiently
tight to keep the teeth closed; if the
throat continues sore use a gargle of
chlorate of potassa, (zj,) one dram to
three ounces Of water, three or four times
daily.
RHUBARB PUDDING.-Take off the
thin skin, cut the stalks in small pieces !;
cover the bottom of a buttered pudding
dish with slices of bread well buttered !;
cover with rhubarb and sprinkle abund-
antly with sugar then put another layer
of buttered bread, and so until your dish
is full. Cover the pudding-dish and set
it in quick oven for half an hour. Re-
move the cover and bake until brown.
SAvoRY BEEF.-Get a shin of beef,
sawed in four pieces; boil it till the
meat and gristle drop from the bones.
Chop the meat fine, season with salt, pep
per, sage, or sweet marjoram, to your
taste. Put in tin pan or deep dish,
strain over the liquor in which the meat
was boiled, after skimming off the fat
which makes frst-rate shortening-and
set away in cold place over night. Cut
in slices like cheese and eat cold.
Stewed chicken, freed from all bones,
and prepared in the same way, is very
good for lunch, or sandwiches.
