ing it to cool in the open air. Glasses of every
description, used for the table, will afterwards bear boiling water
suddenly poured into them, without breaking. When they have been
tarnished by age or accident, their lustre may be restored by strewing
on them some fuller's earth, carefully powdered and cleared of sand and
dirt, and then rubbing them gently with a linen cloth, or a little
putty.

GLOVES. Leather gloves may be repaired, cleaned, and dyed of a fine
yellow, by steeping a little saffron in boiling water for about twelve
hours; and having lightly sewed up the tops of the gloves, to prevent
the dye from staining the insides, wet them over with a sponge or soft
brush dipped in the liquid. A teacupful will be sufficient for a single
pair.

GLOUCESTER CHEESE. This article is made of milk immediately from the
cow; and if it be too hot in the summer, a little skim milk or water is
added to it, before the rennet is put in. As soon as the curd is come it
is broken small, and cleared of the whey. The curd is set in the press
for about a quarter of an hour, in order to extract the remainder of the
liquid. It is then put into the cheese tub again, broken small, and
scalded with water mixed with a little whey. When the curd is settled,
the liquor is poured off; the curd is put into a vat, and worked up with
a little salt when about half full. The vat is then filled up, and the
whole is turned two or three times in it, the edges being pared, and the
middle rounded up at each turning. At length, the curd being put into a
cloth, it is placed in the press, then laid on the shelves, and turned
every day till it becomes sufficiently firm to bear washing.

GLOUCESTER JELLY. Take rice, sago, pearl barley, hartshorn shavings, and
eringo root, each one ounce. Simmer with three pints of water till
reduced to one, and then strain it. When cold it will be a jelly; of
which give, dissolved in wine, milk, or broth, in change with other
nourishment.

GNATS. The stings of these troublesome insects are generally attended
with a painful swelling. One of the most effectual remedies consists of
an equal mixture of turpentine and sweet oil, which should immediately
be applied to the wounded part, and it will afford relief in a little
time. Olive oil alone, unsalted butter, or fresh lard, if rubbed on
without delay, will also be found to answer the same purpose. They may
be destroyed by fumigation, the same as for flies.
