into a tureen, add a little salt, and serve up the soup with the
giblets. Instead of cream, it may be seasoned with a large spoonful of
ketchup, some cayenne, and two glasses of sherry.

GILDED FRAMES. These valuable articles cannot be preserved from fly
stains, without covering them with strips of paper, and suffering them
to remain till the flies are gone. Previous to this, the light dust
should be blown from the gilding, and a feather or a clean brush lightly
passed over it. Linen takes off the gilding, and deadens its brightness;
it should therefore never be used for wiping it. Some means should be
used to destroy the flies, as they injure furniture of every kind, and
the paper likewise. Bottles hung about with sugar and vinegar, or beer,
will attract them; or fly water, put into little shells placed about the
room, but out of the reach of children.

GILLIFLOWER WINE. To three gallons of water put six pounds of the best
raw sugar; boil the sugar and water together for the space of half an
hour, and keep skimming it as the scum rises. Let it stand to cool, beat
up three ounces of syrup of betony with a large spoonful of ale yeast,
and put it into the liquor. Prepare a peck of gilliflowers, cut from the
stalks, and put them in to infuse and work together for three days, the
whole being covered with a cloth. Strain it, and put it into a cask; let
it settle for three or four weeks, and then bottle it.

GINGER BEER. To every gallon of spring water add one ounce of sliced
white ginger, one pound of lump sugar, and two ounces of lemon juice.
Boil the mixture nearly an hour, and take off the scum; then run it
through a hair sieve into a tub, and when cool, add yeast in the
proportion of half a pint to nine gallons. Keep it in a temperate
situation two days, during which it may be stirred six or eight times.
Then put it into a cask, which must be kept full, and the yeast taken
off at the bunghole with a spoon. In a fortnight, add half a pint of
fining to nine gallons of the liquor, which will clear it by ascent, if
it has been properly fermented. The cask must still be kept full, and
the rising particles taken off at the bunghole. When fine, which may be
expected in twenty-four hours, bottle and cork it well; and in summer it
will be ripe and fit to drink in a fortnight.

GINGER DROPS. Beat two ounces of fresh candied orange in a mortar, with
a little sugar, till reduced to a paste. Then mix an ounce of the powder
