nces of sugar, a quarter of a
nutmeg, and a good piece of lemon peel. Put a light puffpaste into a
mould or dish, or grated tops and bottoms, and bake in a quick oven.

DUTCH WAFFLES. These form a delicious article in the shape of puff
cakes, which are instantly prepared and exhibited for sale in stalls or
tents, in the fairs of Holland, where they are eaten hot as they come
from the plate or baking pan, with fine sugar strewed over them. Mix
together three pounds of fine flour, a dozen eggs, a pound of melted
butter, half a pint of ale, some milk, and a little yeast. Beat it well,
till it forms a thick paste, and let it stand three or four hours before
the fire to rise. Lay it in small pieces on a hot iron or fryingpan,
with a pair of buttered tongs, till it is lightly browned. Eat the
waffles with fine sugar sifted over, or a little sack and melted butter.

DYEING. Nankeen dye is made of equal parts of arnetto and common potash,
dissolved in boiling water. To dye cotton, silk, woollen, or linen of a
beautiful yellow, the plant called weld, or dyer's weed, is used for
that purpose. Blue cloths dipped in a decoction of it will become green.
The yellow colour of the Dutch pink is obtained from the juice of the
stones and branches of the weld. Black dye is obtained from a strong
decoction of logwood, copperas, and gum arabic. Oak saw-dust, or the
excrescences on the roots of young oaks, may be used as a substitute for
galls, both in making ink and black dye.

EARTHENWARE. An ounce of dry lean cheese grated fine, and an equal
quantity of quicklime mixed well together in three ounces of skim milk,
will form a good cement for any articles of broken earthenware, when the
rendering of the joint visible is reckoned of no consequence. A cement
of the same nature may be made of quicklime tempered with the curd of
milk, but the curd should either be made of whey or buttermilk. This
cement, like the former, requires to be applied immediately after it is
made, and it will effectually join any kind of earthenware or china.

EARWIGS. These insects are often destructive in gardens, especially
where carnations, nuts, or filberts, pears and apples are reared. Their
depredations on the flowers may be prevented by putting the bowl of a
tobacco-pipe on the sticks which support them, into which they will
creep in the day time, and may be destroyed. Green leaves of elder laid
near fruit trees, or flower roots, will preve
