Editor's Preface

If there be any among my Readers who, having turned over the pages of "Enquire Within," have hastily pronounced them to be confused and ill-arranged, let them at once refer to The Index, at page 389, and for ever hold their peace.

The Index is, to the vast congregation of useful hints and receipts that fill the pages of this volume, what the Directory is to the great aggregation of houses and people in London.

No one, being a stranger to London, would run about asking for "Mr. Smith." But, remembering the Christian name and the profession of the individual wanted, he would turn to the Directory, and trace him out.

Like a house, every paragraph in "Enquire Within" has its number,—and the Index is the Directory which will explain what Facts, Hints, and Instructions inhabit that number.

For, if it be not a misnomer, we are prompted to say that "Enquire Within" is peopled with hundreds of ladies and gentlemen, who have approved of the plan of the work, and contributed something to its store of useful information. There they are, waiting to be questioned, and ready to reply. Within each page some one lives to answer for the correctness of the information imparted, just as certainly as where, in the window of a dwelling, you see a paper directing you to "Enquire Within," some one is there to answer you.

Housekeepers of experience live at Nos. 1, 30, 438, 1251 and 2091; old Dr. Kitchiner lives at 44; Captain Crawley is to be found at 46 and 2568; the well-known Mrs. Warren lives at 1809; Miss Acton at 1310; Dr. Franklin at 1398; Mrs. Hitching at 215; Mr. Banting at 1768; Dr. Wilson Philip at 1762; Mr. Withering at 2338; Mr. Mechi at 997; Dr. Stenhouse at 1776; Dr. Erasmus Wilson at 1700; Dr. Southwood Smith at 1743; Dr. Blair at 2180; M. Soyer at 1130; Dr. Babington at 2407; Miss Gifford at 2337; and Dr. Clark at 2384. In addition to these and many more, a Doctor lives at 475; a Gardener at 249; a Schoolmaster at 161; a Butcher at 27; a Dancing-Master at 139; an Artist at 2548; a Naturalist at 2330; a Dyer at 2682; a Modeller at 2346; a Professed Cook at 1032; a Philanthropist at 1368; a Lawyer at 1440; a Surgeon at 796; a Chess Player at 71; a Whist Player, almost next door, at 73; a Chemist at 650; a Brewer at 2267; a Lawn Tennis Player at 2765; a homœopathic Practitioner at 925; a Wood-stainer at 1413; two Confectioners at 1628 and 2024; a Poultry-Keeper at 1642; a Meteorologist at 962; Philosophers at 973 and 1783; a Practical Economist at 985; a Baker at 1002; a Master of the Ceremonies at 1924 and 2613; a Bird Fancier at 2155: a Washerwoman at 2729; an Analytical Chemist at 2747; an Accountant at 2769; and so on.

Well! there they live—always at home. Knock at their doors—Enquire Within. No Fees to Pay!!

Much care has been taken in selecting the information that is given, and, as is amply shown by the above list, so many kind and competent friends have lent a hand in the production of this volume that is impossible to turn to any page without at once being reminded of the Generous Friend who abides there.

To some extent, though in a far less degree, assistance has been rendered by the authors of many useful and popular works, for which due acknowledgment must be made. Chief among these works are Dr. Kitchiner's "Cooks' Oracle"; "The Cook," in Houlston and Sons' Industrial Library; "The Shopkeeper's Guide;" "The Wife's Own Cookery," "The Practical Housewife," and many of the volumes of the "Reason Why" series.

Lastly, as in everyday life it is found necessary at times to make a thorough inspection of house and home, and to carry out requisite repairs, alterations, and additions, this has been done in the recent editions of "Enquire Within," to which some hundreds of paragraphs have been added, while others have been remodelled and revised in accordance with the progress of the times in which we live. Care, however, has been taken to alter nothing that needed no alteration, so that, practically, this Popular Favourite is still the old "Enquire Within;" improved, it is true, but in no way so changed as to place it beyond the recognition of those to whom it has been a Book Of Constant Reference since its first appearance.

45.  The Family Circle

Will you do me the favour of meeting here, as a guest, on —— next, at seven precisely, a few friends who have kindly joined in an attempt to commence occasional pleasant and social parties, of which the spirit and intent will be better understood by the perusal of the few annexed remarks and rules from

Yours sincerely, ——

"They manage it better in France," is a remark to be often applied with reference to social life in England, and the writer fancies that the prevalence here of a few bad customs, easily changed, causes the disadvantageous difference between ourselves and our more courteous and agreeable neighbours.

1. Worldly appearance; the phantom leading many to suppose that wealth is the standard of worth—in the minds of friends, a notion equally degrading to both parties.

1. Overdress; causing unnecessary expense and waste of time.

1. Expensive entertainments, as regards refreshments.

1. Late hours.

The following brief rules are suggested, in a hope to show the way to a more constant, easy, and friendly intercourse amongst friends, the writer feeling convinced that society is equally beneficial and requisite—in fact, that mankind in seclusion, like the sword in the scabbard, often loses polish, and gradually rusts.

1. That meetings be held in rotation at each member's house, for the enjoyment of conversation; music, grave and gay; dancing, gay only; and card-playing at limited stakes.

1. That such meetings commence at seven and end about or after twelve, and that members and guests be requested to remember that punctuality has been called the politeness of kings.

1. That as gentlemen are allowed for the whole season to appear, like the raven, in one suit, ladies are to have the like privilege; and that no lady be allowed to quiz or notice the habits of another lady; and that demi-toilette in dress be considered the better taste in the family circle; not that the writer wishes to raise or lower the proper standard of ladies' dress, which ought to be neither too high nor too low, but at a happy medium.

1. That any lady infringing the last rule be liable to reproof by the oldest lady present at the meeting, if the oldest lady, like the oldest inhabitant, can be discovered.

1. That every member or guest, be requested to bring with them their own vocal, instrumental, or dance music, and take it away with them, if possible, to avoid loss and confusion.

1. That no member or guest, able to sing, play, or dance, refuse, unless excused by medical certificate; and that no cold or sore throat be allowed to last more than a week.

1. That as every member or guest known to be able to sing, play, or dance, is bound to do so if requested, the performer (especially if timid) is to be kindly criticized and encouraged; it being a fact well known, that the greatest masters of an art are always the most lenient critics, from their deep knowledge of the feeling, intelligence, and perseverance required to at all approach perfection.

1. That gentlemen present do pay every attention to ladies, especially visitors; but such attention is to be general, and not particular—for instance, no gentleman is to dance more than three times with one lady during the evening, except in the case of lovers, privileged to do odd things during their temporary lunacy, and also married couples, who are expected to dance together at least once during the evening, and oftener if they please.

1. That to avoid unnecessary expense, the refreshments be limited to cold meat, sandwiches, bread, cheese, butter, vegetables, fruits, tea, coffee, negus, punch, malt liquors, &c, &c

1. That all personal or face-to-face laudatory speeches (commonly called toasts, or, as may be, roasts) be for the future forbidden, without permission or inquiry, for reasons following:—That as the family circle includes bachelors and spinsters, and he, she, or they may be secretly engaged, it will be therefore cruel to excite hopes that may be disappointed; and that as some well-informed Benedick of long experience may after supper advise the bachelor to find the way to woman's heart—vice versa, some deep-feeling wife or widow, by "pity moven," may, perhaps, after supper advise the spinster the other way, which, in public, is an impropriety manifestly to be avoided.

1. (suggested by a lady). That any lady, after supper, may (if she please) ask any gentleman apparently diffident, or requiring encouragement, to dance with her, and that no gentleman can of course refuse so kind a request.

1. That no gentleman be expected to escort any lady home on foot beyond a distance of three miles, unless the gentleman be positive and the lady agreeable.

Rule the Last:  That as the foregoing remarks and rules are intended, in perfect good faith and spirit, to be considered general and not personal, no umbrage is to be taken, and the reader is to bear in mind the common and homely saying,—

"Always at trifles scorn to take offence,

It shows great pride and very little sense."

P.S.—To save trouble to both parties, this invitation be deemed accepted, without the necessity to reply, unless refused within twenty-four hours.

52.  Charades

nounMy firstMy secondMy whole

The breath of the morning is sweet;

The earth is bespangled with flowers,

And buds in a countless array

Have ope'd at the touch of the showers.

The birds, whose glad voices are ever

A music delightful to hear,

Seem to welcome the joy of the morning,

As the hour of the bridal draws near.

What is that which now steals on my first,

Like a sound from the dreamland of love,

And seems wand'ring the valleys among,

That they may the nuptials approve?

'Tis a sound which my second explains,

And it comes from a sacred abode,

And it merrily trills as the villagers throng

To greet the fair bride on her road.

How meek is her dress, how befitting a bride

So beautiful, spotless, and pure!

When she weareth my second, oh, long may it be

Ere her heart shall a sorrow endure.

See the glittering gem that shines forth from her hair—

'Tis my whole, which a good father gave;

Twas worn by her mother with honour before—

But she sleeps in peace in her grave.

Twas her earnest request, as she bade them adieu,

That when her dear daughter the altar drew near,

She should wear the same gem that her mother had worn

When she as a bride full of promise stood there.

71.  Chess, Laws of.

1. The board is to be so placed as to leave a white square at the right hand of the player.

1. Any mistake in placing the board or the men may be rectified before the fourth move is completed, but not after.

1. The players draw lots for the first move, and take the move alternately.

[When odds are given, the player giving them moves first. White generally moves first; therefore, if black win the move, the board is turned. It is usual to play with the white and black men alternately.]

1. The piece touched must be moved. When the fingers of the player have once left the man, it cannot be again removed from the square it occupies.

[Except the move be illegal, when the opponent can insist on the piece being moved in the proper manner, or for the opposing King to be moved.]

1. In touching a piece simply to adjust it, the player must notify to his adversary that such is his intention.

[It is usual, in such a case, to say J'adoube (I adjust); but he may not touch a piece with the intention of moving it, and then, when he discover his mistake, say, J'adoube. The phrase is simply intended to be used when a piece is displaced or overturned by accident.]

1. If a player take one of his own men by mistake, or touch a wrong man, or one of his opponent's men, or make an illegal move, his adversary may compel him to take the man, make the right move, move his King, or replace the piece, and make a legal move.

1. A pawn may be played either one or two squares at a time when first moved.

[In the latter case it is liable to be taken en passant, with a pawn that could have taken it had it been played only one square.]

1. A player cannot castle under any of the following circumstances:

1. If he has moved either King or Rook.

2. If the King be in check.

3. If there be any piece between the King and the Rook.

4. If the King, in moving, pass over any square commanded by any one of his adversary's forces.

[You cannot castle to get out of check.]

1. If a player give a check without crying "check," the adversary need not take notice of the check. But if two moves only are made before the discovery of the mistake, the pieces may be replaced, and the game properly played.

1. If a player say check without actually attacking the King, and his adversary move his King or take the piece, the latter may elect either to let the move stand or have the pieces replaced and another move made.

1. If, at the end of a game, the players remain, one with a superior to an inferior force, or even if they have equal forces, the defending player may call upon his adversary to mate in fifty moves on each side, or draw the game.

[If one player persist in giving perpetual check, or repeating the same move, his opponent may count the moves for the draw; in which case touching a piece if reckoned a move.]

1. Stalemate, or perpetual check is a drawn game.

1. Directly a pawn reaches its eighth square it must be exchanged for a piece.

[It is usual to change the pawn for a Queen, but it may be replaced by a Rook, Bishop, or Knight, without reference to the pieces already on the board. In practice it would be changed for a Queen or a Knight, seeing that the Queen's moves include those of the Rook and Bishop. Thus you may have two or more Queens, three or more Rooks, Bishops, or Knights on the board at the end of the game.]

1. Should any dispute arise, the question must be submitted to a bystander, whose decision is to be considered final.

The Book of Chess

72.  Draughts, Rules of the Game.

1. The board is to be so placed as to have the white or black double corners at the right hand of the player.

1. The first move is taken by chance or agreement, and in all the subsequent games of the same sitting, the first move is taken alternately. Black generally moves first.

1. Any action which prevents your adversary from having a full view of the board is not allowed, and if persisted in, loses the game to the offending player.

1. The man touched must be moved, but the men may be properly adjusted during any part of the game. After they are so placed, if either player, when it is his turn to play, touch a man, he must move it. If a man be so moved as to be visible on the angle separating the squares, the player so touching the man must move it to the square indicated.

[By this it is meant that a player may not move first to one square and then to another. Once moved on to a square, the man must remain there.]

1. It is optional with the player either to allow his opponent to stand the huff, or to compel him to take the offered piece.

["Standing the huff" is when a player refuses to take an offered piece, but either intentionally or accidentally makes another move. His adversary then removes the man that should have taken the piece, and makes his own move—huff and move, as it is called.]

1. Ten minutes is the longest time allowed to consider a move, which if not made within that time, forfeits the game.

1. It is compulsory upon the player to take all the pieces he can legally take by the same series of moves. On making a King, however, the latter remains on his square till a move has been made on the other side.

1. All disputes are to be decided by the majority of the bystanders present, or by an umpire.

1. No player may leave the room without the consent of his adversary, or he forfeits the game.

1. A false move must be remedied as soon as it is discovered, or the maker of such move loses the game.

1. When only a small number of men remain toward the end of the game, the possessor of the lesser number may call on his opponent to win in at least fifty moves, or declare the game drawn. With two Kings to one, the game must be won in at most twenty moves on each side.

1. The player who refuses to abide by the rules loses the game. In the losing game a player must take all the men he can by his move.

73.  Whist

1. Shuffling—-Each person has a right to shuffle the cards before the deal; but it is usual for the elder hand only; and the dealer after.

1. Cutting.—The pack is then cut by the right hand adversary; and the dealer distributes the cards, one by one, to each of the players, beginning with the player on his left, until he comes to the last card, which he turns up for trump, and leaves on the table till the first trick be played.

1. First Play.—The elder hand, the player on the left of the dealer, plays first. The winner of the trick plays again; and so on, till all the cards are played out.

1. Mistakes.—No intimations, or signs are permitted between the partners. The mistake of one party is the profit of the adversary.

1. Collecting Tricks.—The tricks belonging to each player should be turned and collected by one of the partners only. All above six tricks reckon towards game.

1. Honours.—The ace, king, queen, and knave of trumps are called honours; and when either of the partners hold three separately, or between them, they count two points towards the game; and in case they have four honours, they count four points.

1. Game.—Long Whist game consists of ten points, Short Whist of five points.

74.  Terms used in Whist.

1. Finessing, is the attempt to gain an advantage; thus:—If you have the best and third best card of the suit led you put on the third best, and run the risk of your adversary having the second best; if he has it not, which is two to one against him, you are then certain of gaining a trick.

1. Forcing, is playing the suit of which your partner or adversary has not any, and which in order to win he must trump.

1. Long Trump, the one or more trumps in your hand when all the rest are out.

1. Loose Card, a card of no value, and the most proper to throw away.

1. Points,—Ten make the game; as many as are gained by tricks or honours, so many points are set up to the score of the game.

1. Quarte, four successive cards in suit.

1. Quarte Major, a sequence of ace, king, queen, and knave.

1. Quinte, five successive cards in suit.

1. Quinte Major, is a sequence of ace, king, queen, knave, and ten.

1. See-saw, is when each partner trumps a suit, and when they play those suits to each other for that purpose.

1. Score, is the number of points set up. The following is a good method of scoring with coins or counters:

For Short Whist there are regular markers.

1. Slam, is when either side win every trick.

1. Tenance, is possessing the first last and third best cards, and being the player; you consequently catch the adversary when that suit is played: as, for instance, in case you have ace and queen of any suit, and your adversary leads that suit, you must win two tricks, by having the best and third best of the suit played, and being the last player.

1. Tierce, three successive cards in suit.

1. xv. Tierce Major, a sequence of ace, king, and queen.

Children and Chickens Must Always be Picking.

75.  Maxims for Whist.

1. Lead from your strong suit, be cautious how you change suits, and keep a commanding card to bring it in again.

1. Lead through the strong suit and up to the weak; but not in trumps; unless very strong in them.

1. Lead the highest of a sequence; but if you have a quarte or cinque to a king, lead the lowest.

1. Lead through an honour, particularly if the game is against you.

1. Lead your best trump, if the adversaries be eight, and you have no honour; but not if you have four trumps, unless you have a sequence.

1. Lead a trump if you have four or five, or a strong hand; but not if weak.

1. Having ace, king, and two or three small cards, lead ace and king if weak in trumps, but a small one if strong in them.

1. If you have the last trump, with some winning cards, and one losing card only, lead the losing card.

1. Return your partner's lead, not the adversaries'; and if you hold only three originally, play the best; but you need not return it immediately, when you win with a king, queen, or knave, and have only small ones, or when you hold a good sequence, a strong suit, or five trumps.

1. Do not lead from ace queen, or ace knave.

1. Do not—as a rule—lead an ace, unless you have a king.

1. Do not lead a thirteenth card, unless trumps be out.

1. Do not trump a thirteenth card, unless you be last player, or want the lead.

1. Keep a small card to return your partner's lead.

1. Be cautious in trumping a card when strong in trumps, particularly if you have a strong suit.

1. Having only a few small trumps, make them when you can.

1. If your partner refuse to trump a suit, of which he knows you have not the best, lead your best trump.

1. When you hold all the remaining trumps, play one, and then try to put the lead in your partner's hand.

1. Remember how many of each suit are out, and what is the best card left in each hand.

1. Never force your partner if you are weak in trumps, unless you have a renounce, or want the odd trick.

1. When playing for the odd trick, be cautious of trumping out, especially if your partner be likely to trump a suit. Make all the tricks you can early, and avoid finessing.

1. If you take a trick, and have a sequence, win it with the lowest.

There are None So Wicked as Represented.

76.  Laws of Whist

1. The deal is determined by cutting-in. Cutting-in and cutting-out must be by pairs.

[Less than three cards, above or below, is not a cut. Ace is lowest. Ties cut again. Lowest deals. Each player may shuffle, the dealer last. The right-hand adversary cuts to dealer.]

1. iIf a card be exposed, a fresh deal may be demanded.

1. Dealer must not look at bottom card; and the trump-card must be left, face upwards, on the table till the first trick be turned, or opponents may call a fresh deal.

1. Too many or too few cards is a misdeal—an exposed or face card. In either case, a fresh deal may be demanded.

[In cases of a misdeal, the deal passes to the next player.]

1. After the first round has been played, no fresh deal can be called.

[If the first player hold fewer than thirteen cards, the other hands being right, the deal stands.]

1. If two cards be dealt to the same player, the dealer may rectify his error before dealing another card.

[The dealer must not touch the cards after they have left his hands; but he may count those remaining in the pack if he suspect a misdeal, or he may ask the players to count their cards. One partner may not deal for another without the consent of opponents.]

1. If the trump-card be not taken into the dealer's hand at the expiration of the first round, it may be treated as an exposed card, and called.

[After this, no one has a right to ask what was the trump-card, but he may ask "What are Trumps?"]

1. If the third hand play before the second, the fourth has a right to play before his partner; or if the fourth hand play before the second or third, the cards so played must stand, and the second be compelled to win the trick if he can.

1. If a player lead out of his turn, or otherwise expose a card, that card may be called, if the playing of it does not cause a revoke.

[Calling a card is the insisting of its being played when the suit comes round, or when it may be played.]

1. If a player trump by mistake, he may recall his card, and play to the suit, if the card be not covered; but he may be compelled to play the highest or lowest of the suit led, and to play the exposed trump when it is called by his adversaries.

1. If, before a trick be turned, a player discover that he has not followed suit, he may recall his card; but the card played in error can be called when the suit is played.

1. Before a trick is turned, the player who made it may see the preceding trick.

[Only one trick is to be shown; not more, as is sometimes erroneously believed.]

1. Before he plays, a player may require his partner to "draw his card," or he may have each card in the trick claimed before the trick be turned.

1. When a player does not follow suit his partner is allowed to ask him whether he has any card of the suit led.

1. The penalty for a revoke—either by wrongfully trumping the suit led, or by playing a card of another suit—is the loss of three tricks; but no revoke can be claimed till the cards are abandoned, and the trick turned.

[Revokes forfeit three tricks from the hand or score: or opponents may add three to their score; partner may ask and correct a trick if not turned; the revoking side cannot score out in that deal.]

1. No revoke can be claimed after the tricks are gathered up, or after the cards are cut for the next deal.

[The wilful mixing up of the cards in such case loses the game.]

1. The proof of a revoke lies with the claimants, who may examine each trick on the completion of the round.

1. If a revoke occur on both sides, there must be a new deal.

1. Honours cannot be counted unless they are claimed previous to the next deal.

[No omission to score honours can be rectified after the cards are packed; but an overscore, if proved, must be deducted.]

1. Honours can only be called at eight points (in Long Whist), and at nine they do not count.

[In some Clubs, eight, with the deal, cannot call against nine.]

79.  Advice to all Players.

1. Count, and arrange your cards into suits; but do not always place your trumps in one particular part of your hand, or your opponents will discover how many you have.

1. Attend to the game, and play as though your hand consisted of twenty-six instead of thirteen cards.

1. In the second round of a suit, win the trick when you can, and lead out for your partner's high cards as soon as possible.

1. Touch only the card you intend to play.

1. Retain a high trump as long as you can, to bring back your strong suit.

1. With a weak hand, always try to secure the seventh or odd trick to save the game.

1. Attend to the score, and play as if the whole fortune of the game depended on yourself.

1. Remember the number of trumps out at every stage of the game. Note, also, the fall of every court-card in the other suits, so that you are never in doubt as to the card that will win the trick.

1. Hold the turn-up as long as you can, as by that means you keep your adversaries from knowing your strength in trumps.

1. Do not force your partner unnecessarily, as by that means you sometimes become his adversary instead of his friend.

1. When in doubt, play a trump. Play the game in its integrity, and recollect that Whist is full of inferences as well as facts.

80.  Cribbage

Night is not Dark to the Good.

81.  Terms Used in Cribbage

1. Crib.—The crib is composed of the cards thrown out by each player, and the dealer is entitled to score whatever points are made by them.

1. Pairs are two similar cards, as two aces or two kings. Whether in hand or play they reckon for two points.

1. Pairs-Royal are three similar cards, and reckon for six points, whether in hand or play.

1. Double Pairs-Royal are four similar cards and reckon for twelve points, whether in hand or play. The points gained by pairs, pairs-royal, and double pairs-royal, in playing, are thus effected:—Your adversary having played a seven and you another, constitutes a pair, and entitles you to score two points; your antagonist then playing a third seven, makes a pair-royal, and he marks six; and your playing a fourth is a double pair-royal, and entitles you to twelve points.

1. Fifteens.—Every fifteen reckons for two points, whether in hand or play. In hand they are formed either by two cards—as a five and any tenth card, a six and a nine, a seven and an eight, or by three cards, as a two, a five, and an eight, two sixes and a three. If in play, such cards as together make fifteen are played, the player whose card completes that number, scores two points.

1. Sequences are three or four more successive cards, and reckon for an equal number of points, either in hand or play. In playing a sequence, it is of no consequence which card is thrown down first; as thus:—your adversary playing an ace, you a five, he a three, you a two, then he a four—he counts five for the sequence.

1. Flush.—When, the cards are all of one suit, they reckon for as many points as there are cards. For a flush in the crib, the turned-up card must be of the same suit as those put out.

1. Nob.—The knave of the suit turned up reckons for one point; if a knave be turned up, the dealer marks two.

1. End Hole.—The point scored by the last player, if he make under thirty-one; if he make thirty-one exactly, he marks two.

1. Last.—Three points taken at the commencement of the game of five-card cribbage by the non-dealer.

Nor is Day Bright to the Wicked.

82.  The Accepted Laws of Cribbage.

1. The players cut for deal. The ace is lowest in cutting. In case of a tie, they cut again. The holder of the lowest card deals.

1. Not fewer than four cards is a cut; nor must the non-dealer touch the pack after he has cut it.

1. Too many or too few cards dealt constitutes a misdeal, the penalty for which is the taking of two points by the non-dealer.

1. A faced card, or a card exposed during the act of dealing necessitates a new deal, without penalty.

1. The dealer shuffles the cards and the non-dealer cuts them for the "start."

1. If the non-dealer touch the cards (except to cut them for the turn-up) after they have been cut for the start, he forfeits two points.

1. In cutting for the start, not fewer than three cards must be lifted from the pack or left on the table.

1. The non-dealer throws out for the crib before the dealer. A card once laid out cannot be recalled, nor must either party touch the crib till the hand is played out. Either player confusing the crib cards with his hand, is liable to a penalty of three points.

[In three and four-hand cribbage the left-hand player throws out first for the crib, then the next; the dealer last. The usual and best way is for the non-dealer to throw his crib over to the dealer's side of the board; on these two cards the dealer places his own, and hands the pack over to be cut. The pack is then at the right side of the board for the next deal.]

1. The player who takes more points than those to which he is entitled, either in play or in reckoning hand or crib, is liable to be "pegged;" that is, to be put back as many points as he has over-scored, and have the points added to his opponent's side.

[In pegging you must not remove your opponent's front peg till you have given him another. In order "to take him down,'' you remove your own back peg and place it where his front peg ought to be, you then take his wrongly placed peg and put it in front of your own front, as many holes as he has forfeited by wrongly scoring.]

1. No penalty attaches to the taking of too few points in play, hand, or crib.

1. When a player has once taken his hand or crib, he cannot amend his score.

1. When a knave is turned up, "two for his heels" must be scored before the dealer's own card be played, or they cannot be taken.

1. A player cannot demand the assistance of his adversary in reckoning hand and crib.

1. A player may not, except to "peg him," touch his adversary's pegs, under a penalty of two points. If the foremost peg has been displaced by accident, it must be placed in the hole behind the peg standing on the board.

1. The peg once holed cannot be removed by either player till another point or points be gained.

1. The player who scores a game as won when, in fact, it is not won, loses it.

1. A lurch—scoring the whole sixty-one before your adversary has scored thirty-one—is equivalent to a double game, if agreed to previous to the commencement of the game.

1. A card that may be legally played cannot be withdrawn after it has been once thrown face upwards on the table.

1. If a player neglect to score his hand, crib, or any point or points of the game, he cannot score them after the cards are packed or the next card played.

1. The player who throws up his cards and refuses to score, forfeits the game.

1. If a player neglect to play when he can play a card within the prescribed thirty-one, he forfeits two holes.

1. Each player's hand and crib must be plainly thrown down on the table and not mixed with the pack, under penalty of the forfeiture of the game.

The player who refuses to abide by the rules, loses the game. Bystanders must not interfere unless requested to decide any disputed point.

1. A new deal can be demanded for an exposed card, too few or too many cards dealt; in the latter case, a new deal is optional, provided it be done before a card has been played, but not after, to draw from the opposing hand the extra card.

1. iNo person can beg more than once in each hand, except by mutual agreement.

1. Each player must trump or follow suit on penalty of the adversary scoring one point.

1. If either player score wrongly it must be taken down, and the adversary either scores four points or one, as may have previously been agreed.

1. When a trump is played, it is allowable to ask your adversary if it be either high or low.

1. One card may count all-fours; for example, the eldest hand holds the knave and stands his game, the dealer has neither trump, ten, ace, nor court-card; it will follow that the knave will be both high, low, Jack, and game, as explained by:

93.  Terms used in All-Fours

1. High.—For the highest trump out, the holder scores one point.

1. Low.—For the lowest trump out, the original holder scores one point, even if it be taken by the adversary.

1. Jack.—For the knave of trumps the holder scores one. If it be won by the adversary, the winner scores the point.

1. Game.—The greatest number that, in the tricks gained, are shown by either player, reckoning:

Four

for an ace

Three

for a king

Two

for a queen

One

for a knave

Ten

for a ten

The other cards do not count: thus it may happen that a deal may be played without having any to reckon for game.

1. Begging is when the eldest hand, disliking his cards, uses his privilege, and says, "I beg;" in which case the dealer either suffers his adversary to score one point, saying, "Take one," or gives each player three cards more from the pack, and then turns up the next card, the seventh for trumps. If, however, the trump turned up to be of the same suit as the first, the dealer must go on, giving each three cards more, and turning up the seventh, until a change of suit for trumps shall take place.

94.  Maxims for All-Fours

1. Make your knave as soon as you can.

1. Secure your tens by playing any small cards, by which you may throw the lead into you adversary's hand.

1. Win your adversary's best cards when you can, either by trumping or with superior cards.

1. If, being eldest hand, you hold either ace, king, or queen of trumps, without the knave or ten, play them immediately, as, by this means, you may chance to win the knave or ten.

95.  Loo

96.  Three-Card Loo

1. This game is played by any number of persons, from three, but five or seven make the best game.

1. The cards are cut for deal, the holder of the lowest card being dealer; after which the deal goes round, from left to right. In case of a tie, the players cut again. Ace is lowest, and the court-cards and tens are reckoned of the same value,—namely, ten.

1. The left-hand adversary shuffles or makes the pack, and the player to the right of the dealer cuts previous to the deal.

1. The cards take their usual value, ace highest; then king, queen, knave, ten, and so on, down to deuce. The dealer then gives three cards, one at a time, face downwards, to each player; and also dealing an extra hand, or "miss," which may be thrown on the table either as the first or last card of each round.

1. A card too many or too few is a misdeal.

1. The stakes being settled beforehand, the dealer puts into the pool his three halfpence, pence, or sixpences, and the game proceeds:

1. The first player on the left of the dealer looks at his hand, and declares whether he will play or take the miss. If he decide to play, he says, "I play," or "I take the miss;" but he may elect to do neither; in which case he places his cards on the pack, and has nothing further to do with that round. The next player looks at his hand, and says whether he will play or not; and so on, till the turn comes to the dealer, who, if only one player stand the chance of the loo, may either play or give up the stakes.

1. In the first round it is usual either to deal a single; that is, a round without a miss, when all the players must play; or each player puts into the pool a sum equal to that staked by the dealer in which latter case a miss is dealt.

Never Open the Door to a Little Vice.

97.  Laws of Loo.

1. For a misdeal the dealer is looed.

1. For playing out of turn or looking at the miss without taking it, the player is looed.

1. If the first player possess two or three trumps, he must play the highest, or be looed.

1. With ace of trumps only, the first player must lead it, or be looed.

1. The player who looks at his own cards, or the miss out of his turn, is looed.

1. The player who looks at his neighbour's hand, either during the play or when they lie on the table, is looed.

1. The player who informs another what cards he possesses, or gives any intimation that he knows such or such cards to be in the hand or the miss, is looed.

1. The player who throws up his cards after the leading card is played, is looed.

1. Each player who follows the elder hand must head the trick if he can, or be looed.

1. Each player must follow suit if he can, or be looed.

The player who is looed pays into the pool the sum agreed.

98.  Mode of Play

1. When it is seen how many players stand in the round, the elder hand plays a card—his highest trump if he has two or more; if not, any card he chooses. The next plays, and, if he can, follows suit or heads the trick with a trump. If he can do neither, he throws away any card.

1. And so the round goes on; the highest card of the suit, or the highest trump, winning the trick. The winner of the trick then leads another card.

1. The game consists of three tricks, and the pool is divided equally among the players possessing them. Thus, if there be three pence, shillings, or half-crowns, in the pool, the tricks are a penny, sixpence, or half-a-crown each. The three tricks may of course be won by a single player, or they may be divided between two or three. Each player who fails to win a trick is looed, and pays into the next pool the amount determined on as the loo.

1. When played for a determinate stake, as a penny for the deal and three pence for the loo, the game is called Limited Loo. When each player is looed for the sum in the pool, it is Unlimited Loo.

1. Caution is necessary in playing this game to win. As a general rule, the first player should not take the miss, as the dealer's stake is necessarily to be added to the loo. Nor the miss be taken after two players have "struck in" (declared to play), for the chances are that they possess good leading cards.

99.  Club Law

Another way

100.  Five-Card Loo.

1. In principle it is the same as the other game Loo, only instead of three, the dealer (having paid his own stake into the pool) gives five cards to each player, one by one, face downwards.

1. After five cards have been dealt to each player, another is turned up for trump; the knave of clubs generally, or sometimes the knave of the trump suit, as agreed upon, is the highest card, and is styled Pam; the ace of trumps is next in value, and the rest on succession, as at Whist. Each player can change all or any of the five cards dealt, or throw up his hand, and escape being looed. Those who play their cards, either with or without changing, and do not gain a trick, are looed. This is also the case with all who have stood the game, when a flush or flushes occur; and each, except a player holding pam, of an inferior flush, must pay a stake, to be given to him who sweeps the board, or divided among the winners at the ensuing deal, according to the tricks made. For instance, if every one at dealing stakes half-a-crown, the tricks are entitled to sixpence a-piece, and whoever is looed must put down half-a-crown, exclusive of the deal; sometimes it is settled that each person looed shall pay a sum equal to what happens to be on the table at the time. Five cards of a suit, or four with pam, make a flush which sweeps the board, and yields only to a superior flush, or the elder hand. When the ace of trumps is led, it is usual to say, "Pam be civil;" the holder of which last-mentioned card must then let the ace pass.

1. Any player with five cards of a suit (a flush) looes all the players who stand in the game.

1. The rules in this game are the same as in Three Card Loo.

104.  Laws of Put

1. When the dealer accidentally discovers any of his adversary's cards, the adversary may demand a new deal.

1. When the dealer discovers any of his own cards in dealing, he must abide by the deal.

1. When a faced card is discovered during the deal, the cards must be reshuffled, and dealt again.

1. If the dealer give his adversary more cards than are necessary, the adversary may call a fresh deal, or suffer the dealer to draw the extra cards from his hand.

1. If the dealer give himself more cards than are his due, the adversary may add a point to his game, and call a fresh deal, or draw the extra cards from the dealer's hand.

1. No bystander must interfere, under penalty of paying the stakes.

1. Either party saying, "I put"—that is, "I play"—cannot retract, but must abide the event of the game, or pay the stakes.

110.  Cassino

111.  Terms used in Cassino

1. Great Cassino, the ten of diamonds, which reckons for two points.

1. Little Cassino, the two of spades, which reckons for one point.

1. The Cards is when you have a greater share than your adversary, and reckons for three points.

1. The Spades is when you have the majority of that suit, and reckons for one point.

1. The Aces: each of which reckons for one point.

1. Lurched is when your adversary has won the game before you have gained six points.

In some deals at this game it may so happen that neither party win anything, as the points are not set up according to the tricks, &c, obtained, but the smaller number is constantly subtracted from the larger, both in cards and points; and if they both prove equal, the game commences again, and the deal goes on in rotation. When three persons play at this game, the two lowest add their points together, and subtract from the highest; but when their two numbers together either amount to or exceed the highest, then neither party scores.

112.  Laws of Cassino.

1. The deal and partners are determined by cutting, as at whist, and the dealer gives four cards, one at a time, to each player, and either regularly as he deals, or by one, two, three, or four at a time, lays four more, face upwards, upon the board, and, after the first cards are played, four others are dealt to each person, until the pack be concluded; but it is only in the first deal that any cards are to be turned up.

1. The deal is not lost when a card is faced by the dealer, unless in the first round, before any of the four cards are turned up upon the table; but if a card happen to be faced in the pack, before any of the said four be turned up, then the deal begins again.

1. Any person playing with less than four cards must abide by the loss; and should a card be found under the table, the player whose number is deficient takes the same.

1. Each person plays one card at a time, with which he may not only take at once every card of the same denomination upon the table, but likewise all that will combine therewith; as, for instance, a ten takes not only every ten, but also nine and ace, eight and deuce, seven and three, six and four, or two fives; and if he clear the board before the conclusion of the game, he is to score a point; and whenever any player cannot pair or combine, then he is to put down a card.

1. The tricks are not to be counted before all the cards are played; nor may any trick but that last won be looked at, as every mistake must be challenged immediately.

1. After all the pack is dealt out, the player who obtains the last trick sweeps all the cards then remaining unmatched upon the table and wins the game.

119.  Rules of Ecarté

1. Each player has right to shuffle the cards above the table.

1. The cut must not be fewer than two cards off the pack, and at least two cards must be left on the table.

1. When more than one card is exposed in cutting, there must be a new deal.

1. The highest ecarté card cut secures the deal, which holds good even though the pack be imperfect.

1. The dealer must give five cards to each by three and two, or by two and three, at a time, which plan must not be changed, during the game.

1. An incorrect deal, playing out of turn, or a faced card, necessitates a new deal.

1. The eleventh card must be turned up for trumps; and the remaining cards placed, face downwards, on the table.

1. The king turned up must be marked by the dealer before the trump of the next deal is turned up.

1. A king of trumps held in hand must be announced and marked before the player lays down his first card, or he loses his right to mark it. If played in the first trick, it must be announced before it is played to.

1. A proposal or acceptance cannot be retracted or altered.

1. Before taking cards, the player must place his discarded cards, face downwards, on the table, and neither look at or touch them till the round be over.

1. The player holding king marks one point; making three tricks, one point; five tricks, two points.

1. The non-dealer playing without proposing and failing to win the point, gives two tricks to his opponent.

1. The dealer who refuses the first proposal and fails to win the point (three tricks), gives his opponent two points.

1. An admitted overscore or underscore may be amended without penalty before the cards are dealt for the following round.

120.  Euchre

Ignorance Boastful, Conceited, and Sure.

121.  Rules for Euchre

1. The players cut for deal; the higher card cut dealing.

1. The cards are dealt by twos and threes, each player having five.

1. The eleventh card is turned up for trumps.

1. Five points constitute game.

1. The player winning three or four tricks marks one point; winning five tricks, two points.

1. When the first player considers his hand strong enough to score, he can order it up—that is, he can oblige the dealer to discard one of his cards and take up the trump in its stead.

1. When the first player does not find his hand strong enough, he may pass—" I pass;" with the view of changing the suit.

1. In case of the first player "ordering it up," the game begins by his playing a card, to which the dealer must follow suit or trump, or throw away. The winner of the trick then leads: and so on till all the five cards in each hand are played.

1. If the player order up the trump and fail to make three tricks, he is euchred, and his opponent marks two points.

1. If the player, not being strong enough, passes, the dealer can say, "I play," and take the trump into his own hand; but, as before, if he fail to score, he is euchred.

1. If both players pass, the first has the privilege of altering the trump, and the dealer is compelled to play. Should the first player fail to score, he is euchred.

1. If he pass for the second time, the dealer can alter the trump, with the same penalty if he fail to score.

1. When trumps are led and you cannot follow suit, you must play the left bower if you have it, to win the trick.

The score is marked as in Ecarté, by each side with a two and three.

122.  Bézique

Some players require the winning card to be of the same suit as that led, unless trumped.

Be Not the First by Whom the New is Tried.

123.  Mode of Playing

1. Immediately after taking a trick, and then only, a player can make a Declaration; but he must do so before drawing another card. Only one Declaration can be made after each trick.

1. If, in making a declaration, a player put down a wrong card or cards, either in addition to or in the place of any card or cards of that declaration, he is not allowed to score until he has taken another trick. Moreover, he must resume the cards, subject to their being called for as "faced" cards.

1. The seven of trumps may be exchanged for the trump card, and for this exchange ten is scored. This exchange is made immediately after he has taken a trick, but he may make a declaration at the same time, the card exchanged not being used in such declaration.

1. Whenever the seven of trumps is played, except in the last eight tricks, the player scores ten for it, no matter whether he wins the trick or not.

1. When all the cards are drawn from the pack, the players take up their eight cards. No more declarations can he made, and the play proceeds as at Whist, the ten ranking higher than the king, and the ace highest.

1. In the last eight tricks the player is obliged to follow suit, and he must win the trick if possible, either by playing a higher card, or, if he has not a card of the same suit, by playing a trump.

1. A player who revokes in the last eight tricks, or omits to take when he can, forfeits the eight tricks to his opponent.

1. The last trick is the thirty-second, for which the winner scores ten. The game may be varied by making the last trick the twenty-fourth—the next before the last eight tricks. It is an unimportant point, but one that should be agreed upon before the game is commenced.

1. After the last eight tricks are played, each player examines his cards, and for each ace and ten that he holds he scores ten.

1. The non-dealer scores aces and tens first; and in case of a tie, the player scoring the highest number of points, less the aces and tens in the last deal, wins the game. If still a tie, the taker of the last trick wins.

1. All cards played in error are liable to be called for as "faced" cards at any period of the game, except during the last eight tricks.

1. In counting forfeits a player may either add the points to his own score or deduct them from the score of his opponent.

124.  Terms used in Bezique.

1. A Declaration is the exhibition on the table of any cards or combination of, cards, as follows:

1. Bezique is the queen of spades and knave of diamonds, for which the holder scores 40 points. A variation provides that when the trump is either spades or diamonds, Bezique may be queen of clubs and knave of hearts. Bézique having been declared, may be again used to form Double Bezique—two queens of spades and two knaves of diamonds. All four cards must be visible on the table together—500 points.

1. Sequence is ace, ten, king, queen, and knave of trumps—250 points.

1. Royal Marriage is the king and queen of trumps—40 points.

1. Common Marriage is the king and queen of any suit, except trumps—20 points.

1. Four aces are the aces of any suits —100 points.

1. Four kings are the kings of any suits—80 points.

1. Four Queens are the queens of any suits—60 points.

1. Four knaves are the knaves of any suits—40 points.

Nor Yet the Last to Cast the Old Aside.

125.  Marriages, Sequences, &c

1. The cards forming the declarations are placed on the table to show that they are properly scored, and the cards may thence be played into tricks as if in your hand.

1. Kings and queens once married cannot be re-married, but can be used, while they remain on the table, to make up four kings, four queens, or a sequence.

1. The king and queen used in a sequence cannot afterwards be declared as a royal marriage.

1. If four knaves have been declared, the knave of diamonds may be used again for a bézique, or to complete a sequence.

1. If four aces have been declared, the ace of trumps may he again used to perfect a sequence.

1. If the queen of spades has been married, she may he again used to form a bézique, and vice versâ, and again for four queens.

1. Playing the seven of trumps—except in last eight tricks—10; exchanging the seven of trumps for the trump card—10; the last trick—10; each ace and ten in the tricks—at the end of each deal—10.

1. The game is 1,000, 2,000, or 4,000 up. Markers are sold with the cards.

127.  Cautions in Bezique.

128.  Three-Handed Bezique

1. The above rules hold good in the case of three-handed games—treble bézique counting 1,500. An extra pack of cards is required for the third other player; so that, in the case of three, the trump card is the twenty-fifth.

1. The game is always played from left to right, the first player on the left of the dealer commencing. Three-handed bézique is sometimes played with two packs of cards, suppressing an eight, thus rendering them divisible by three.

129.  Four-Handed Bezique.

1. Four-handed Bezique may be played by partners decided either by choice or cutting. Partners sit opposite each other, one collecting the tricks of both, and the other keeping the score, or each may keep his own score, which is preferable.

1. A player may make a declaration immediately after his partner has taken a trick, and may inquire of his partner if he has anything to declare, before drawing.

1. Declarations must be made by each player separately, as in two-handed bézique.

1. The above descriptions will serve to sufficiently acquaint the reader with the rules and modes of play adopted in this excellent game. Bézique is said to be of Swedish origin, and to have been introduced to English players through the medium of some Indian officers who had learned it of a Scandinavian comrade. Variations in the play occur in different companies. These, however, having been indicated above, need not be more particularly noted.

160.  Scandal—Live it down.

Should envious tongues some malice frame,

To soil and tarnish your good name,

Live it down!

Grow not disheartened; 'tis the lot

Of all men, whether good or not:

Live it down!

Him not in answer, but be calm;

For silence yields a rapid balm:

Live it down!

Go not among your friends and say,

Evil hath fallen on my way:

Live it down!

Far better thus yourself alone

To suffer, than with friends bemoan

The trouble that is all your own:

Live it down!

What though men evil call your good!

So Christ Himself, misunderstood,

Was nailed unto a cross of wood!

And now shall you for lesser pain,

Your inmost soul for ever stain,

By rendering evil back again?

Live it down!

181.  Rules and Hints for Correct Speaking.

1. Who and whom are used in relation to persons, and which in relation to things. But it was once common to say, "the man which." This should now be avoided. It is now usual to say, "Our Father who art in heaven," instead of "which art in heaven."

1. Whose is, however, sometimes applied to things as well as to persons. We may therefore say, "The country whose inhabitants are free." Grammarians differ in opinion upon this subject, but general usage justifies the rule.

1. Thou is employed in solemn discourse, and you in common language. Ye (plural) is also used in serious addresses, and you in familiar language.

1. The uses of the word It are various, and very perplexing to the uneducated. It is not only used to imply persons, but things, and even, ideas, and therefore, in speaking or writing, its assistance is constantly required. The perplexity respecting this word arises from the fact that in using it in the construction of a long sentence, sufficient care is not taken to ensure that when it is employed it really points out or refers to the object intended. For instance, "It was raining when John set out in his cart to go to the market, and he was delayed so long that it was over before he arrived." Now what is to be understood by this sentence? Was the rain over? or the market? Either or both might be inferred from the construction of the sentence, which, therefore, should be written thus:— "It was raining when John set out in his cart to go to the market, and he was delayed so long that the market was over before he arrived."

1. Rule.—After writing a sentence always look through it, and see that wherever the word It is employed, it refers to or carries the mind back to the object which it is intended to point out.

1. The general distinction between This and That may be thus defined: this denotes an object present or near, in time or place, that something which is absent.

1. These refers, in the same manner, to present objects, while those refers to things that are remote.

1. Who changes, under certain conditions, into whose and whom. But that and which always remain the same.

1. That may be applied to nouns or subjects of all sorts; as, the girl that went to school, the dog that bit me, the ship that went to London, the opinion that he entertains.

1. The misuse of these pronouns gives rise to more errors in speaking and writing than any other cause.

1. When you wish to distinguish between two or more persons, say, "Which is the happy man?"—not who—"Which of those ladies do you admire?"

1. Instead of "Who do you think him to be?"—say, "Whom do you think him to be?"

1. Whom should I see?

1. To whom do you speak?

1. Who said so?

1. Who gave it to you?

1. Of whom did you procure them?

1. Who was he?

1. Who do men say that I am?

1. Whom do they represent me to be[1]?

1. In many instances in which who is used as an interrogative, it does not become whom; as "Who do you speak to?" "Who do you expect?" "Who is she married to?" "Who is this reserved for?" "Who was it made by?" Such sentences are found in the writings of our best authors, and it would be presumptuous to consider them as ungrammatical. If the word whom should be preferred, then it would be best to say, "For whom is this reserved?" &c

1. Instead of "After which hour," say "After that hour."

1. Self should never be added to his, their, mine, or thine.

1. Each is used to denote every individual of a number.

1. Every denotes all the individuals of a number.

1. Either and or denote an alternative: "I will take either road, at your pleasure;" "I will take this or that."

1. Neither means not either; and nor means not the other.

1. Either is sometimes used for each—"Two thieves were crucified, on either side one."

1. "Let each esteem others as good as themselves," should be, "Let each esteem others as good as himself."

1. "There are bodies each of which are so small," should be, "each of which is so small."

1. Do not use double superlatives, such as most straightest, most highest, most finest.

1. The term worser has gone out of use; but lesser is still retained.

1. The use of such words as chiefest, extremest, &c, has become obsolete, because they do not give any superior force to the meanings of the primary words, chief, extreme, &c

1. Such expressions as more impossible, more indispensable, more universal, more uncontrollable, more unlimited, &c, are objectionable, as they really enfeeble the meaning which it is the object of the speaker or writer to strengthen. For instance, impossible gains no strength by rendering it more impossible. This class of error is common with persons who say, "A great large house," "A great big animal," "A little small foot," "A tiny little hand."

1. Here, there, and where, originally denoting place, may now, by common consent, he used to denote other meanings; such as, "There I agree with you," "Where we differ," "We find pain where we expected pleasure," "Here you mistake me."

1. Hence, whence, and thence, denoting departure, &c, may be used without the word from. The idea of from is included in the word whence—therefore it is unnecessary to say "From whence."

1. Hither, thither, and whither, denoting to a place, have generally been superseded by here, there, and where. But there is no good reason why they should not be employed. If, however, they are used, it is unnecessary to add the word to, because that is implied—"Whither are you going?" "Where are you going?" Each of these sentences is complete. To say, "Where are you going to?" is redundant.

1. Two negatives destroy each other, and produce an affirmative. "Nor did he not observe them," conveys the idea that he did observe them.

1. But negative assertions are allowable. "His manners are not unpolite," which implies that his manners are, in some degree, marked by politeness.

1. Instead of "I had rather walk," say "I would rather walk."

1. Instead of "I had better go," say "It were better that I should go."

1. Instead of "I doubt not but I shall be able to go," say "I doubt not that I shall be able to go."

1. Instead of "Let you and I," say "Let you and me."

191.  Hints to "Cockney Speakers."

vwvice versâPunch

1. Low Cockney.—"Seen that party lately?" "What! the party with the wooden leg, as come with—" "No, no—not that party. The party, you know, as—" "Oh! ah! I know the party you mean, now." "Well, a party told me as he can't agree with that other party, and he says that if another party can't be found to make it all square, he shall look out for a party as will."—(And so on for half an hour.)

1. Police.—"Lor, Soosan, how's a feller to eat meat such weather as this! Now, a bit o' pickled salmon and cowcumber, or a lobster salid, might do."

1. Cockney Yachtsman.—(Example of affectation.) Scene: the Regatta Ball.—"I say, Tom, what's that little craft with the black velvet flying at the fore, close under the lee scuppers of the man-of-war?" "Why, from her fore-and-aft rig, and the cut of her mainsail, I should say she's down from the port of London; but I'll signal the commodore to come and introduce us!"

1. Omnibus Driver.—Old acquaintance. "'Ave a drop, Bill?" Driver. "Why, yer see, Jim, this 'ere young hoss has only been in 'arness once afore, and he's such a beggar to bolt, ten to one if I leave 'im he'll be a-runnin' hoff, and a smashin' into suthun. Howsoever—here—(handing reins to a timid passenger)—lay hold, sir, I'll Chance It!"

1. Costermonger (to extremely genteel person).—"I say, guv'ner, give us a hist with this 'ere bilin' o' greens!' (A large hamper of market stuff.)

1. Genteel Cockney (by the seaside).—Blanche. "How grand, how solemn, dear Frederick, this is! I really think the ocean is more beautiful under this aspect than under any other!" Frederick.—"H'm—ah! Per-waps. By the way, Blanche, there's a fella shwimping. S'pose we ask him if he can get us some pwawns for breakfast to-mowaw mawning?"

1. Stuck-up Cockney.—(Small Swell enters a tailor's shop.) "A—Brown, A—want some more coats!" Snip. "Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. How many would you please to want?" Small Swell. "A—let me see; A—ll have eight. A—no, I'll have nine; and look here! A—shall want some trousers." Snip. "Yes, sir, thank you, sir. How many would you like?" Small Swell.—"A— don't know exactly. S'pose we say twenty-four pairs; and look here! Show me some patterns that won't be worn by any snobs!"

1. Cockney Flunkey,—(Country Footman meekly inquires of London Footman)—"Pray, sir, what do you think of our town? A nice place, ain't it" London Footman (condescendingly). "Vell, Joseph, I likes your town well enough. It's clean: your streets are hairy; and you have lots of rewins. But I don't like your champagne, it's all gewsberry!"

1. Cockney Cabby (with politeness). — "Beg pardon, sir; please don't smoke in the keb. sir; ladies do complain o' the 'bacca uncommon. Better let me smoke it for yer outside, sir!"

1. Military Cockney.—Lieutenant Blazer (of the Plungers).—"Gwood wacious! Here's a howible go! The ifan [?word illegible] v's going to gwow a moustache! Cornet Huffey (whose face is whiskerless). "Yaw don't mean that! Wall! there's only one alternative for us. We must shave!"

1. Juvenile Low Cockney.—"Jack; Whereabouts is Amstid-am?" Jack. "Well, I can't say exackerley, but I know it's somewhere near "Ampstid-'eath!"

1. Cockney Domestic.—Servant girl—" Well, mam—Heverythink considered, I'm afraid you won't suit me. I've always bin brought up genteel: and I couldn't go nowheres where there ain't no footman kep'."

1. Another.—Lady. "Wish to leave! why, I thought, Thompson, you were very comfortable with me!" Thompson (who is extremely refined). "Ho yes, mum! I don't find no fault with you, mum—nor yet with master—but the truth his, mum—the hother servants is so orrid vulgar and hignorant, and speaks so hungrammaticai, that I reely cannot live in the same 'ouse with 'em—and I should like to go this day month, if so be has it won't illconvenience you!"

1. Cockney Waiter.—"'Am, sir? Yessir? Don't take anything with your 'am, do you, sir?" Gentleman. "Yes, I do; I take the letter H!"

1. Cockney Hairdresser.—"They say, sir, the cholera is in the Hair, sir!" Gent (very uneasy). "Indeed! Ahem! Then I hope you're very particular about the brushes you use." Hairdresser. "Oh, I see you don't nunderstand me, sir; I don't mean the 'air of the 'ed, but the hair hof the hatmosphere?"

1. Cockney Sweep (seated upon a donkey).—"Fitch us out another penn'orth o' strawberry hice, with a dollop o' lemon water in it."

196.  Rules of Pronunciation.

1. C before a, o, and u, and in some other situations, is a close articulation, like k. Before e, i, and y, c is precisely equivalent to s in same, this; as in cedar, civil, cypress, capacity.

1. E final indicates that the preceding vowel is long; as in hate, mete, sire, robe, lyre, abate, recede, invite, remote, intrude.

1. E final indicates that c preceding has the sound of s; as in lace, lance; and that g preceding has the sound of j, as in charge, page, challenge.

1. E final, in proper English words, never forms a syllable, and in the most-used words, in the terminating unaccented syllable it is silent. Thus, motive, genuine, examine, granite, are pronounced motiv, genuin, examin, granit.

1. E final, in a few words of foreign origin, forms a syllable; as syncope, simile.

1. E final is silent after l in the following terminations,—ble, cle, dle, fle, gle, kle, ple, tle, zle; as in able, manacle, cradle, ruffle, mangle, wrinkle, supple, rattle, puzzle, which are pronounced a'bl, mana'cl, cra'dl, ruf'fl man'gl, wrin'kl, sup'pl, puz'zl.

1. E is usually silent in the termination en; as in token, broken; pronounced tokn, brokn.

1. ous, in the termination of adjectives and their derivatives, is pronounced us; as in gracious, pious, pompously.

1. ce, ci, ti before a vowel, have the sound of sh; as in cetaceous, gracious, motion, partial, ingratiate; pronounced cetashus, grashus, moshun, parshal, ingrashiate.

1. si, after an accented vowel, is pronounced like zh; as in Ephesian, confusion; pronounced Ephezhan, confuzhon

1. When ci or ti precede similar combinations, as in pronunciation, negotiation, they should be pronounced ze instead of she, to prevent a repetition of the latter syllable; as pronunceashon instead of pronunsheashon.

1. gh, both in the middle and at the end of words ia silent; as in caught, bought, fright, nigh, sigh; pronounced caut, baut, frite, ni, si. In the following exceptions, however, gh are pronounced as f:—cough, chough, clough, enough, laugh, rough, slough, tough, trough.

1. When wh begins a word, the aspirate h precedes w in pronunciation; as in what, whiff, whale; pronounced hwat, hwiff, hwale, w having precisely the sound of oo, French ou. In the following words w is silent:—who, whom, whose, whoop, whole.

1. h after r has no sound or use; as in rheum, rhyme; pronounced reum, ryme.

1. h should be sounded in the middle of words; as in forehead, abhor, behold, exhaust, inhabit, unhorse.

1. H should always be sounded except in the following words:—heir, herb, honest, honour, hospital, hostler, hour, humour, and humble, and all their derivatives,—such as humorously, derived from humour.

1. k and g are silent before n; as know, gnaw; pronounced no, naw.

1. w before r is silent; as in wring, wreath; pronounced ring, reath.

1. b after m is silent; as in dumb, numb; pronounced dum, num.

1. L before k is silent; as in balk, walk, talk; pronounced bauk, wauk, tauk.

1. ph has the sound of f; as in philosophy; pronounced filosofy.

1. ng has two sounds, one as in anger, the other as in fin-ger.

1. nafter m, and closing a syllable, is silent; as in hymn, condemn.

1. pbefore s and t is mute; as in psalm, pseudo, ptarmigan; pronounced sarm, sudo, tarmigan.

1. r has two sounds, one strong and vibrating, as at the beginning of words and syllables, such as robber, reckon, error; the other as at the terminations of words, or when succeeded by a consonant, as farmer, morn.

1. Before the letter r, there is a slight sound of e between the vowel and the consonant. Thus, bare, parent, apparent, mere, mire, more, pure, pyre, are pronounced nearly baer, paerent, appaerent, me-er,mier, moer,puer, pyer. This pronunciation proceeds from the peculiar articulation of r, and it occasions a slight change of the sound of a, which can only be learned by the ear.

1. There are other rules of pronunciation affecting the combinations of vowels, &c; but as they are more difficult to describe, and as they do not relate to errors which are commonly prevalent, we shall content ourselves with giving examples of them in the following list of words. When, a syllable in any word in this list is printed in bold, the accent or stress of voice should be laid on that syllable.

Death waits not for storm nor sunshine. Within a dwelling in one of the upper streets, respectable in appearance, and furnished with such conveniences as distinguish the habitations of those who rank among the higher classes of society, a man of middle age lay on his last bed, momently awaiting the final summons. All that the most skilful medical attendance—all that love, warm as the glow that fires an angel's bosom, could do, had been done; by day and night, for many long weeks, had ministering spirits, such as a devoted wife; and loving children are, done all within their power to ward off the blow. But there he lay, his raven hair smoothed off from his noble brow, his dark eyes lighted with unnatural brightness, and contrasting strongly with the pallid hue which marked him as an expectant of the dread messenger.

1. All derivatives from words ending in l have one l only; as, equality, from equal; fulness, from full; except they end in er or ly; as, mill, miller; full, fully.

1. All participles in ing from verbs ending in e lose the e final; as have, having; amuse, amusing; unless they come from verbs ending in double e, and then they retain, both; as, see, seeing; agree, agreeing.

1. All adverbs in ly and nouns in ment retain the e final of the primitives; as, brave, bravely; refine, refinement; except acknowledgment, judgment, &c.

1. All derivatives from words ending in er retain the e before the r; as, refer, reference; except hindrance, from hinder; remembrance from remember; disastrous from disaster; monstrous from monster; wondrous from wonder; cumbrous from cumber, &c.

The Vide Vorld you may search, and my fellow not find;

I dwells in a Wacuum, deficient in Vind;

In the Wisage I'm seen—in the Woice I am heard,

And yet I'm inwisible, gives went to no Vurd.

I'm not much of a Vag, for I'm vanting in Vit;

But distinguished in Werse for the Wollums I've writ.

I'm the head of all Willains, yet far from the Vurst—

I'm the foremost in Wice, though in Wirtue the first.

I'm not used to Veapons, and ne'er goes to Vor;

Though in Walour inwincible—in Wictory sure;

The first of all Wiands and Wictuals is mine—

Rich in Wen'son and Weal, but deficient in Vine.

To Wanity given, I in Welwets abound;

But in Voman, in Vife, and in Vidow ain't found:

Yet conspicuous in Wirgins, and I'll tell you, between us,

To persons of taste I'm a bit of a Wenus;

Yet none take me for Veal—or for Voe in its stead,

For I ranks not among the sweet Voo'd, Vun, and Ved!

Hhhhh

I dwells in the Herth, and I breathes in the Hair;

If you searches the Hocean, you'll find that I'm there.

The first of all Hangels, in Holympus am Hi,

Yet I'm banished from 'Eaven, expelled from on 'Igh.

But though on this Horb I am destined to grovel,

I'm ne'er seen in an 'Ouse, in an 'Ut, nor an 'Ovel;

Not an 'Oss nor an 'Unter e'er bears me, alas!

But often I'm found on the top of a Hass.

I resides in a Hattic, and loves not to roam,

And yet I'm invariably absent from 'Ome.

Though 'ushed in the 'Urricane, of the Hatmosphere part,

I enters no 'Ed, I creeps into no 'Art.

Only look, and you'll see in the Heye I appear,

Only 'ark, and you'll 'ear me just breathe in the Hear;

Though in sex not an 'E, I am (strange paradox!)

Not a bit of an 'Eifer, but partly a Hox.

Of Heternity Hi'm the beginning! And, mark,

Though I goes not with Noah, I am first in the Hark.

I'm never in 'Ealth—have with Fysic no power;

I dies in a Month, but comes back In a Hour!

'Twas whispered in heaven, 'twas muttered in hell,

And echo caught faintly the sound as it fell;

On the confines of earth 'twas permitted to rest,

And the depths of the ocean its presence confessed.

'Twill be found in the sphere when 'tis riven asunder,

Be seen in the lightning, and heard in the thunder.

'Twas allotted to man with his earliest breath,

Attends at his birth, and awaits him in death;

It presides o'er his happiness, honour, and health,

Is the prop of his house, and the end of his wealth.

In the heaps of the miser 'tis hoarded with care,

But is sure to be lost on his prodigal heir.

It begins every hope, every wish it must bound,

With the husbandman toils, with the monarch is crowned.

Without it the soldier and seaman may roam,

But woe to the wretch who expels it from home.

In the whispers of conscience its voice will be found,

Nor e'en in the whirlwind of passion be drowned.

'Twill not soften the heart, and though deaf to the ear,

'Twill make it acutely and instantly hear.

But in shade let it rest, like a delicate flower—

Oh, breathe on it softly—it dies in an hour.

236.  Addresses of Letters.

1. When writing several letters, place each in its envelope, and address it as soon as it is written. Otherwise awkward mistakes may occur, your correspondents receiving letters not intended for them. If there be a town of the same name as that to which you are writing existing in another county, specify the county which you mean or, the address. Thus, Richmond, Yorkshire.

1. When the person to whom you are writing is visiting or residing at the house of another person, it is considered vulgar to put "at Mr. So-and-So's," but simply "Mr. So-and-So's," at being understood.

1. It is more respectful to write the word "Esquire" in full. The —— substituted for initials is vulgar, and pardonable only in extreme cases; if the Christian name or initials of your correspondent do not occur to you at the moment, endeavour to ascertain them by inquiry.

1. When addressing a gentleman with the prefix "Mr.," the Christian name or initials should always follow, being more polite, as well as avoiding confusion where persons of the same surname may reside in one house.

1. In addressing a letter to two or more unmarried ladies, write "The Misses Johnson," and not "The Miss Johnsons;" and, lastly, always write an address clearly and legibly, so that it may not be delayed in delivery, nor be missent.

1. Give to the written page an ample margin all round; or fold down the left hand side to the extent of one-fourth the width of the entire paper so as to leave a broad margin on the left side of the paper.

1. Number the pages; in the order of their succession.

1. Write in a plain, bold, legible hand, without regard to beauty of appearance.

1. Use no abbreviations which are not to appear in print.

1. Punctuate the manuscript as it should be printed.

1. For italics underscore one line; for small capitals, two; capitals, three.

1. Never interline without the caret (^) to show its place.

1. Take special pains with every letter in proper names.

1. Review every word, to be sure that none is illegible.

1. Put directions to the printer at the head of the first page.

1. Never write a private letter to the editor on the printer's copy, but always on a separate sheet.

248.  Hints to those who have Pianofortes

1. Damp is very injurious to a pianoforte; it ought therefore to be placed in a dry place, and not exposed to draughts.

1. Keep your piano free from dust, and do not allow needles, pins, or bread to be placed upon it, especially if the key-board is exposed, as such articles are apt to get inside and produce a jarring or whizzing sound.

1. Do not load the top of a piano with books, music, &c., as the tone is thereby deadened, and the disagreeable noise alluded to in the last paragraph is often produced likewise.

1. Have your piano tuned about every two months; whether it is used or not, the strain is always upon it, and if it is not kept up to concert pitch it will not stand in tune when required, which it will do if it be attended to regularly.

1. An upright instrument sounds better if placed about two inches from the wall.

1. When not in use keep the piano locked.

1. To make the polish look nice, rub it with an old silk handkerchief, being careful first of all to dust off any small particles, which otherwise are apt to scratch the surface.

1. Should any of the notes keep down when struck, it is a sure sign that there is damp somewhere, which has caused the small note upon which the key works to swell.

Gardening Illustrated

"Take an orange, and having cut a hole in the peel about the size of a shilling, take out the juice and pulp. Fill the skin thus emptied with some cocoa-nut fibre, fine moss, and charcoal, just stiffened with a little loam, and then put an acorn or a date stone, or the seed or kernel of any tree that it is proposed to obtain in a dwarfed form in this mixture, just about the centre of the hollow orange peel. Place the orange peel in a tumbler or vase in a window, and occasionally moisten the contents with a little water through the hole in the peel, and sprinkle the surface apparent through the hole with some fine woodashes. In due time the tree will push up its stem through the compost and the roots will push through the orange peel. The roots must then be cut off flush with the peel, and this process must be repeated at frequent intervals for about two years and a half. The stem of the tree will attain the height of four or five inches and then assume a stunted gnarled appearance, giving it the appearance of an old tree. When the ends of the roots are cut for the last time, the orange peel, which, curiously enough, does not rot, must be painted black and varnished."

290.  A Moral

I had a little spot of ground,

Where blade nor blossom grew,

Though the bright sunshine all around

Life-giving radiance threw.

I mourned to see a spot so bare

Of leaves of healthful green,

And thought of bowers, and blossoms fair,

I frequently had seen.

Some seeds of various kinds lay by—

I knew not what they were—

But, rudely turning o'er the soil,

I strewed them thickly there;

And day by day I watched them spring

From out the fertile earth,

And hoped for many a lovely thing

Of beauty and of worth.

But as I marked their leaves unfold

As weeds before my view,

And saw how stubbornly and bold

The thorns and nettles grew—

I sighed to think that I had done,

Unwittingly, a thing

That, where a beauteous bower should thrive,

But worthless weeds did spring.

And thus I mused; the things we do,

With little heed or ken,

May prove of worthless growth, and strew

With thorns the paths of men;

For little deeds, like little seeds,

May flowers prove, or noxious weeds!

1. A short needle makes the most expedition in plain sewing.

1. Between husband and wife little attentions beget much love.

1. Always lay your table neatly, whether you have company or not.

1. Put your balls or reels of cotton into little bags, leaving the ends out.

1. Whatever you may choose to give away, always be sure to keep your temper.

1. Dirty windows speak to the passer-by of the negligence of the inmates.

1. In cold weather a leg of mutton improves by being hung three, four, or five weeks.

1. When meat is hanging, change its position frequently, to equally distribute the juices.

1. There is much more injury done by admitting visitors to invalids than is generally supposed.

1. Matches, out of the reach of children, should be kept in every bedroom. They are cheap enough.

1. Apple and suet dumplings are lighter when boiled in a net than a cloth. Skim the pot well.

1. When sheets or chamber towels get thin in the middle, cut them in two, sew the selvedges together, and hem the sides.

1. When you are particular in wishing to have precisely what you want from a butcher, go and buy it yourself.

1. A flannel petticoat will wear as nearly as long again, if turned hind part before, when the front begins to wear thin.

1. People in general are not aware how very essential to the health of the inmates is the free admission of light into their houses.

1. When you dry salt for the table, do not place it in the salt cellars until it is cold, otherwise it will harden into a lump.

1. Never put away plate, knives and forks, &c., uncleaned, or great inconvenience will arise when the articles are wanted.

1. Feather beds should be opened every third year, the ticking well dusted, soaped, and waxed, the feathers dressed and returned.

1. Persons of defective sight, when threading a needle, should hold it over something white, by which the sight will be assisted.

1. In mending sheets and shirts, put in pieces sufficiently large, or in the first washing the thin parts give way, and the work done is of no avail.

1. When reading by candle-light, place the candle behind you, that the rays may pass over your shoulder on to the book. This will relieve the eyes.

1. A wire fire-guard, for each fire-place in a house, costs little, and greatly diminishes the risk to life and property. Fix them before going to bed.

1. In winter, get the work forward by daylight, to prevent running about at night with candles. Thus you escape grease spots, and risks of fire.

1. Be at much pains to keep your children's feet dry and warm. Don't bury their bodies in heavy flannels and wools, and leave their arms and legs naked.

1. Apples and pears, cut into quarters and stripped of the rind, baked with a little water and sugar, and eaten with boiled rice, are capital food for children.

1. A leather strap, with a buckle to fasten, is much more commodious than a cord for a box in general use for short distances; cording and uncording is a tedious job.

1. After washing, overlook linen, and stitch on buttons, hooks and eyes, &c.; for this purpose keep a "house-wife's friend," full of miscellaneous threads, cottons, buttons: hooks, &c.

1. For ventilation open your windows both at top and bottom. The fresh air rushed in one way, while the foul escapes the other. This is letting in your friend and expelling your enemy.

1. There is not any real economy in purchasing cheap calico for night-shirts. Cheap calico soon wears into holes, and becomes discoloured in washing.

1. Sitting to sew by candle-light at a table with a dark cloth on it is injurious to the eyesight. When no other remedy presents itself, put a sheet of white paper before you.

1. Persons very commonly complain of indigestion; how can it be wondered at, when they seem, by their habit of swallowing their food wholesale, to forget for what purpose they are provided with teeth.

1. Never allow your servants to put wiped knives on your table, for, generally speaking, you may see that that have been wiped with a dirty cloth. If a knife is brightly cleaned, they are compelled to use a clean cloth.

1. There is not anything gained in economy by having very young and inexperienced servants at low wages; the cost of what they break, waste, and destroy, is more than an equivalent for higher wages, setting aside comfort and respectability.

1. No article in dress tarnishes so readily as black crape trimmings, and few things injure it more than damp; therefore, to preserve its beauty on bonnets, a lady in nice mourning should in her evening walks, at all seasons of the year, take as her companion an old parasol to shade her crape.

800.  Rules

1. Always prepare the new dressing before removing the old one.

1. Always have hot and cold water at hand, and a vessel to place the foul dressings in.

1. Have one or more persons at hand ready to assist, and, to prevent confusion, tell each person what they are to do before you commence; thus, one is to wash out and hand the sponges, another to heat the adhesive plaster, or hand the bandages and dressings, and, if requisite, a third to support the limb, &c.

1. Always stand on the outside of a limb to dress it.

1. Place the patient in as easy a position as possible, so as not to fatigue him.

1. Arrange the bed after changing the dressings; but in some cases you will have to do so before the patient is placed on it.

1. Never be in a hurry when applying dressings, do it quietly.

1. When a patient requires moving from one bed to another, the best way is for one person to stand on each side of the patient, and each to place an arm behind his back, while he passes his arms over their necks, then let their other arms be passed under his thighs, and by holding each other's hands, the patient can be raised with ease, and removed to another bed. If the leg is injured, a third person should steady it; and if the arm, the same precaution should be adopted. Sometimes a stout sheet is passed under the patient, and by several people holding the sides, thy patient is lifted without any fatigue or much disturbance.

908.  Special Rules for the Prevention of Cholera

1. It is impossible to urge too strongly the necessity, in all cases of cholera, of instant recourse to medical aid, and also in every form and variety of indisposition; for all disorders are found to merge in the dominant disease.

1. Let immediate Relief be sought under disorder of the bowels especially, however slight. The invasion of cholera may thus be readily prevented.

1. Let every Impurity, animal and vegetable, be quickly removed to a distance from the habitation, such as slaughterhouses, pig-sties, cesspools, necessaries, and all other domestic nuisances.

1. Let all Uncovered Drains be carefully and frequently cleansed.

1. Let the Grounds in and around the habitation be drained, so as effectually to carry off moisture of every kind.

1. Let all Partitions he removed from within and without habitations, which unnecessarily impede ventilation.

1. Let every Room be daily thrown open for the admission of fresh air; this should be done about noon, when the atmosphere is most likely to be dry.

1. Let Dry Scrubbing be used in domestic cleansing in place of water cleansing.

1. Let excessive Fatigue, and exposure to damp and cold, especially during the night, be avoided.

1. Let the Use of Cold Drinks and acid liquors, especially under fatigue, be avoided, or when the body is heated.

1. Let the Use of Cold Acid Fruits and vegetables be avoided.

1. Let Excess in the use of ardent and fermented liquors and tobacco be avoided.

1. Let a Poor Diet, and the use of impure water in cooking, or for drinking, be avoided.

1. Let the Wearing of wet and insufficient clothes be avoided.

1. Let a Flannel or woollen belt be worn round the belly.

1. Let Personal Cleanliness be carefully observed.

1. Let every cause tending to depress the moral and physical energies be carefully avoided. Let exposure to extremes of heat and cold be avoided.

1. Let Crowding of persons within houses and apartments be avoided.

1. Let Sleeping in low or damp rooms be avoided.

1. Let Fires be kept up during the night in sleeping or adjoining apartments, the night being the period of most danger from attack, especially under exposure to cold or damp.

1. Let all Bedding and clothing be daily exposed during winter and spring to the fire, and in summer to the heat of the sun.

1. Let the Dead be buried in places remote from the habitations of the living. By the timely adoption of simple means such as these, cholera, or other epidemic, will be made to lose its venom.

1. Bilious or English cholera.

Symptoms. Nausea, proceeding to vomiting, griping of the bowels, watery and offensive evacuations, in which much bile is present, accompanied with weakness and depression.

Medicines. Bryonia, with ipecacuanha at commencement of attack.

1. Malignant or Asiatic cholera.

Symptoms as in English cholera, but in a more aggravated form, followed by what is called the "cold stage," marked by great severity of griping pain in the stomach, accompanied with frequent and copious watery evacuations, and presently with cramps in all parts of the body; after which the extremities become chilled, the pulse scarcely discernible, the result of which is stupor and ultimately death.

Medicines. Camphor, in the form of tincture, in frequent doses, until the sufferer begins to feel warmth returning to the body, and perspiration ensues. In the later stages, Cuprum and Veratrum.

"The tested gain by the use of this grate is an increase of 15 degrees of temperature, with a saving of one-third in fuel. I believe that there are several millions of grates on the wrong principle, hurrying the heat up the chimney instead of into the room, and thus causing an in-draught of cold air. This is especially the case with strong drawing registers. No part of a grate should be of iron, except the thin front bars; for iron is a conductor away of heat, but fire-bricks are not so."

The Field

"If any of your readers are troubled with smoky fires and cold rooms, allow me to recommend them to follow Mr. Mechi's plan, as I have done. Remove the front and bottom bars from any ordinary grate; then lay on the hearth, under where the bars were, a large fire tile, three inches thick, cut to fit properly, and projecting about an inch further out than the old upright bars. Then get made by the blacksmith a straight hurdle, twelve inches deep, having ten bars, to fit into the slots which held the old bars, and allow it to take its bearing upon the projecting fire-brick. The bars should be round, of five-eighth inch rod, excepting the top and bottom, which are better flat, about 1-1/4 in. broad. My dining-room grate was thus altered at a total cost of eighteen shillings two years ago, the result being that a smoky chimney is cured, and that the room is always at a really comfortable temperature, with a smaller consumption of coal than before. The whole of the radiation is into the room, with perfect slow combustion."

"In the hands of an expert cook," says Majendie, "alimentary substances are made almost entirely to change their nature, their form, consistence, odour, savour, colour, chemical composition, &c.; everything is so modified, that it is often impossible for the most exquisite sense of taste to recognise the substance which makes up the basis of certain dishes. The greatest utility of the kitchen consists in making the food agreeable to the senses, and rendering it easy of digestion."

"If a vessel containing water be placed over a steady fire, the water will grow continually hotter, till it reaches the limit of boiling; after which, the regular accessions of heat are wholly spent in converting it into steam: the water remains at the same pitch of temperature, however fiercely it boils. The only difference is, that with a strong fire it sooner comes to boil, and more quickly boils away, and is converted into steam."

1. Sprinkle a little salt on the spongy part or gills of the sample to be tried. If they turn yellow, they are poisonous,—if black, they are wholesome. Allow the salt to act, before you decide on the question.

1. False mushrooms have a warty cap, or else fragments of membrane, adhering to the upper surface, are heavy, and emerge from a vulva or bag; they grow in tufts or clusters in woods, on the stumps of trees, &c., whereas the true mushrooms grow in pastures.

1. False mushrooms have an astringent, styptic, and disagreeable taste. When cut they turn blue. They are moist on the surface, and generally of a rose or orange colour.

1. The gills of the true mushroom are of a pinky red, changing to a liver colour. The flesh is white. The stem is white, solid, and cylindrical.

"The boiling of bacon is a very simple subject to comment upon; but our main object is to teach common cooks the art of dressing common food in the best manner. Cover a pound of nice streaked bacon with cold water, let it boil gently for three quarters of an hour; take it up, scrape the under side well, and cut off the rind: grate a crust of bread not only on the top, but all over it, as you would ham, put it before the fire for a few minutes, not too long, or it will dry and spoil it. Bacon is sometimes as salt as salt can make it, therefore before it is boiled it must be soaked in warm water for an hour or two, changing the water once; then pare off the rusty and smoked part, trim it nicely on the under side, and scrape the rind as clean as possible."

[1]

"This is a most frugal, agreeable, and nutritive meal. It will neither lighten the purse nor lie heavy on the stomach. It will furnish you with a pleasant soup, and meat for eight persons.

Wash three-quarters of a pound of Scotch barley in a little cold water; put it in a soup-pot with a shin or leg of beef, of about ten pounds weight, sawn into four pieces (tell the butcher to do this for you); cover it well with cold water; set it on the fire; when it boils, skim it very clean, and put in two onions, of about three ounces weight each; set it by the side of the fire to simmer very gently for about two hours; then skim all the fat clean off, and put in two heads of celery and a large turnip cut into small squares; season it with salt, and let it boil for an hour and a half longer, and it will be ready: take out the meat carefully with a slice (and cover it up, and set it by the fire to keep warm), and skim the broth well before you put it in the tureen.

Put a quart of the soup into a basin, and about an ounce of flour into a stewpan, and pour the broth to it by degrees, stirring it well together; set it on the fire, and stir it till it boils, then let it boil up, and it is ready. Put the meat in a ragoût dish, and strain the sauce through a sieve over the meat; you may put to it some capers, or minced gherkins, or walnuts, &c. If the beef has been stewed with proper care, in a very gentle manner, and taken up at 'the critical moment when it is just tender,' you will obtain an excellent and savoury meal."

"Rub the scaly cuticle off the legs with a cloth; trim away the claws and spurs; cut off the neck close up to the back, leaving the skin of the breast entire; wipe the pheasant clean and truss it in the following manner, viz.:—Place the pheasant upon its breast, run a trussing needle and string through the left pinion (the wings being removed); then turn the bird over on its back, and place the thumb and forefinger of the left hand across the breast, holding the legs erect; thrust the needle through the middle joint of both thighs, draw it out and then pass it through the other pinion, and fasten the strings at the back; next pass the needle through the hollow of the back, just below the thighs, thrust it again through the legs and body and tie the strings tightly; this will give it an appearance of plumpness."

Two large potatoes, passed through kitchen sieve,

Unwonted softness to the salad give;

Of mordant mustard add a single spoon—

Distrust the condiment which bites so soon;

But deem it not, thou man of herbs, a fault

To add a double quantity of salt;

Three times the spoon with oil of Lucca crown,

And once with vinegar procured from town.

True flavour needs it, and your poet begs

The pounded yellow of two well-boiled eggs;

Let onion atoms lurk within the bowl,

And, scarce suspected, animate the whole;

And lastly, on the favoured compound toss

A magic teaspoon of anchovy sauce;

Then, though green turtle fail, though venison's tough,

And ham and turkey be not boiled enough

Serenely full, the epicure may say,—

"Fate cannot harm me—I have dined today."

If you want a good pudding, to teach you I'm willing:

Take two pennyworth of eggs, when twelve for a shilling;

And of the same fruit that Eve had once chosen,

Well pared and well chopped, at least half a dozen;

Six ounces of bread (let your maid eat the crust),

The crumbs must be grated as small as the dust;

Six ounces of currants from the stones you must sort,

Lest they break out your teeth, and spoil all your sport;

Six ounces of sugar won't make it too sweet;

Some salt and some nutmeg will make it complete;

Three hours let it boil, without hurry or flutter,

And then serve it up, without sugar or butter.

essential rules

1. Lose no time.

1. Handle the body gently.

1. Carry the body face downwards, with the head gently raised, and never hold it up by the feet.

1. Send for medical assistance immediately, and in the meantime act as follows:

1. Strip the body, rub it dry: then wrap it in hot blankets, and place it in a warm bed in a warm room.

1. Cleanse away the froth and mucus from the nose and mouth.

1. Apply warm bricks, bottles, bags of sand, &c., to the armpits, between the thighs, and to the soles of the feet.

1. Rub the surface of the body with the hands enclosed in warm dry worsted socks.

1. If possible, put the body into a warm bath.

1. To restore breathing, put the pipe of a common bellows into one nostril, carefully closing the other, and the mouth; at the same time drawing downwards, and pushing gently backwards, the upper part of the windpipe, to allow a more free admission of air; blow the bellows gently, in order to inflate the lungs, till the breast be raised a little; then set the mouth and nostrils free, and press gently on the chest: repeat this until signs of life appear. The body should be covered the moment it is placed on the table, except the face, and all the rubbing carried on under the sheet or blanket. When they can be obtained, a number of tiles or bricks should be made tolerably hot in the fire, laid in a row on the table, covered with a blanket, and the body placed in such a manner on them, that their heat may enter the spine. When the patient revives, apply smelling-salts to the nose, give warm wine or brandy and water.

Cautions

1. Never rub the body with salt or spirits.

1. Never roll the body on casks.

1. Continue the remedies for twelve hours without ceasing.

Pure Water is Better than Foul Wine.

1368.  Cautions for the Prevention of Accidents

1. As many sudden deaths come by water, particular caution is therefore necessary in its vicinity.

1. Do not stand near a tree, or any leaden spout, iron gate, or palisade, in times of lightning.

1. Lay loaded guns in safe places, and never imitate firing a gun in jest.

1. Never sleep near charcoal; if drowsy at any work where charcoal fires are used, take the fresh air.

1. Carefully rope trees before they are cut down, that when they fall they may do no injury.

1. When benumbed with cold beware of sleeping out of doors; rub yourself, if you have it in your power, with snow, and do not hastily approach the fire.

1. Beware of damp.

1. Air vaults, by letting them remain open some time before you enter, or scattering powdered lime in them. Where a lighted candle will not burn, animal life cannot exist; it will be an excellent caution, therefore, before entering damp and confined places, to try this simple experiment.

1. Never leave saddle or draught horses, while in use, by themselves; nor go immediately behind a led horse, as he is apt to kick. When crossing a roadway always go behind a cart or carriage, never in front of it.

1. Do not ride on footways.

1. Look closely after children, whether they are up or in bed; and particularly when they are near the fire, an element with which they are very apt to amuse themselves.

1. Leave nothing poisonous open or accessible; and never omit to write the word "POISON" in large letters upon it, wherever it may be placed.

1. In walking the streets keep out of the line of the cellars, and never look one way and walk another.

1. Never throw pieces of orange peel, or broken glass bottles, into the streets.

1. Never meddle with gunpowder by candle-light.

1. In trimming a lamp with naphtha, never fill it. Leave space for the spirit to expand with warmth.

1. Never quit a room leaving the poker in the fire.

1. When the brass rod of the stair-carpet becomes loose, fasten it immediately.

1. In opening effervescing drinks, such as soda water, hold the cork in your hand.

1. Quit your house with care on a frosty morning.

1. Have your horses' shoes roughed directly there are indications of frost.

1. Keep lucifer matches in their cases, and never let them be strewed about.

1. Kick into the gutter any piece of orange peel that you may see on the pavement or the roadway. By so doing you may save many from meeting with dangerous accidents.

1. Never allow your servants to leave brooms, brushes, slop-pails, water cans, &c. in outside doorways, or at the head of a flight of stairs when engaged in house-work.

Aug. 18th, 1855.

Sirs,—The sea-port town of Middlesbro', in the county of York, contains about 14,000 inhabitants, and many dwelling-houses and shops are let from quarter to quarter, and from year to year, upon written memorandums of agreement, where the rents are under £20 a year; and as some difference of opinion exists respecting the proper stamp duties to be paid on such agreements, your opinion is requested, whether the common lease stamp for such an agreement will be sufficient, or what other stamps (if any) will such memorandums require?

Your most obedient servant,

Wm. Myers, Solicitor."

"Substances are sold by the perfumers called depilatories, which are represented as having the power of removing hair. But the hair is not destroyed by these means, the root and that part of the shaft implanted within the skin still remain, and are ready to shoot up with increased vigour as soon as the depilatory is withdrawn. The effect of the depilatory is the same, in this respect, as that of a razor, and the latter is, unquestionably, the better remedy. It must not, however, be imagined that depilatories are negative remedies, and that, if they do no permanent good, they are, at least, harmless; that is not the fact; they are violent irritants, and require to be used with the utmost caution."

1758.  Walking

1759.  Utility of Singing

"The Germans are seldom afflicted with consumption; and this, I believe, is in part occasioned by the strength which their lungs acquire by exercising them in vocal music, for this constitutes an essential branch of their education. The music master of an academy has furnished me with a remark still more in favour of this opinion. He informed me that he had known several instances of persons who were strongly disposed to consumption, who were restored to health by the exercise of their lungs in singing."

1760.  The Weather and the Blood

1761.  How to get Sleep

1762.  Early Rising

"Although it is of consequence to the debilitated to go early to bed, there are few things more hurtful to them than remaining in it too long. Getting up an hour or two earlier often gives a degree of vigour which nothing else can procure. For those who are not much debilitated, and sleep well, the best rule is to get out of bed soon after waking in the morning. This at first may appear too early, for the debilitated require more sleep than the healthy; but rising early will gradually prolong the sleep on the succeeding night, till the quantity the patient enjoys is equal to his demand for it. Lying late is not only hurtful, by the relaxation it occasions, but also by occupying that part of the day at which exercise is most beneficial."

1763.  Appetite

1764.  Temperance

"If," observes a writer, "men lived uniformly in a healthy climate, were possessed of strong and vigorous frames, were descended from healthy parents, were educated in a hardy and active manner, were possessed of excellent natural dispositions, were placed in comfortable situations in life, were engaged only in healthy occupations, were happily connected in marriage, and kept their passions in due subjection, there would be little occasion for medical rules."

1765.  More than Man

summum bonum

1766.  No Link to Background

1767.  Moderation

"Keep your head cool by temperance, your feet warm by exercise; rise early, and go soon to bed; and if you are inclined to get fat, keep your eyes open and your mouth shut,"

1768.  Corpulence

1. Medicine.—None, save a morning cordial, as a corrective.

1. Dietary.

Breakfast.—Four or five ounces of beef, mutton, kidneys, broiled fish, bacon, or any kind of cold meat except pork, a large cup (or two) of tea without milk or sugar, a little biscuit or dry toast.

Dinner.—Five or six ounces of any fish except salmon, any meat except pork, any vegetables except potatoes; one ounce of dry toast; fruit out of a pudding; any kind of poultry or game, and two or three glasses of claret or sherry. Port, champagne, and beer forbidden.

Tea.—Two or three ounces of fruit; a rusk or two, and a cup or two of tea, without milk or sugar.

Supper.—Three or four ounces of meat or fish as at dinner, with a glass or two of claret.

Nightcap (if required).—A glass or two of grog,—whisky, gin, or brandy,—without sugar; or a glass or two of sherry.

"Dietary is the principal point in the treatment of corpulence (also in rheumatic diseases, and even in incipient paralysis). If properly regulated, it becomes in a certain sense a medicine. It purifies the blood, strengthens the muscles and viscera, and sweetens life if it does not prolong it."

1769.   Advantages of a Regular Life

"I beseech all persons who shall read this work not to degrade themselves to a level with the brutes, or the rabble, by gratifying their sloth, or by eating and drinking promiscuously whatever pleases their palates, or by indulging their appetites of every kind. But whether they understand physic or not, let them consult their reason, and observe what agrees, and what does not agree with them, that, like wise men, they may adhere to the use of such things as conduce to their health, and forbear everything which, by their own experience, they find to do them hurt; and let them be assured that, by a diligent observation and practice of this rule, they may enjoy a good share of health, and seldom stand in need of physic or physicians."

1. Do one plain row. First pattern row. Insert the needle in the first stitch, and, without working it, draw through it the second stitch, through the loop of which draw the first, and work it in the ordinary way. This forms a twisted stitch, and the next is a very small loop formed of a part of the second stitch. Repeat this throughout the row.

1. The second row is done plain.

1. The third like the first; but the first and last stitches are to be done in the usual manner, but begin the twisting with the second and third loops.

1. The fourth is plain. Repeat these four rows as often as required.

1. Use No. 20 mesh for the fancy rows, and No. 14 for the plain.

Punctuality Begets Confidence.

1936.  Visits and Presentations

1. Friendly calls should be made in the forenoon, and require neatness, without costliness of dress.

1. Calls to give invitations to dinner-parties, or balls, should be very short, and should be paid in the afternoon.

1. Visits of condolence require a grave style of dress.

1. A formal visit should never be made before noon. If a second visitor is announced, it will be proper for you to retire, unless you are very intimate both with the host and the visitor announced; unless, indeed, the host expresses a wish for you to remain.

1. Visits after balls or parties should be made within a month.

1. In the latter, it is customary to enclose your card in an envelope, bearing the address outside. This may be sent by post, if you reside at a distance.

1. But, if living in the neighbourhood, it is polite to send your servant, or to call in person. In the latter case a corner should be turned down.

1. Scrape your shoes and use the mat. Never appear in a drawing-room with mud on your boots.

1. When a new visitor enters a drawing-room, if it be a gentleman, the ladies bow slightly, if a lady, the guests rise.

1. Hold your hat in your hand, unless requested to put it down. Then lay it beside you.

1. The last arrival in a drawing-room takes a seat left vacant near the mistress of the house.

1. A lady is not required to rise to receive a gentleman, nor to accompany him to the door.

1. When your visitor retires, ring the bell for the servant. You may then accompany your guest as far towards the door as the circumstances of your friendship seem to demand.

1. Request the servant, during the visits of guests, to attend to the door the moment the bell rings.

1. When you introduce a person, pronounce the name distinctly, and say whatever you can to make the introduction agreeable. Such as "an old and valued friend," a "schoolfellow of mine," "an old acquaintance of our family."

1. Never stare about you in a room as if you were taking stock of those who are present.

1. The gloves should not be removed during a visit.

1. Be hearty in your reception of guests; and where you see much diffidence, assist the stranger to throw it off.

1. A lady does not put her address on her visiting card.

1937.  Balls and Evening Parties

1. An invitation to a ball should be given at least a week beforehand.

1. Upon entering, first address the lady of the house; and after her, the nearest acquaintances you may recognise in the room.

1. If you introduce a friend, make him acquainted with the names of the chief persons present. But first present him to the lady of the house, and to the host.

1. Appear in full dress.

1. Always wear gloves.

1. Do not wear rings on the outside of your gloves.

1. Avoid an excess of jewellery.

1. Do not select the same partner frequently.

1. Distribute your attentions as much as possible.

1. Pay respectful attention to elderly persons.

1. Be cordial when serving refreshments, but not importunate.

1. If there are more dancers than the room will accommodate, do not join in every dance.

1. In leaving a large party it is unnecessary to bid farewell, and improper to do so before the guests.

1. In balls and large parties there should be a table for cards, and two packs of cards placed upon each table.

1. Chess and all unsociable games should be avoided.

1. Although many persons do not like to play at cards except for a stake, the stakes agreed to at parties should be very trifling, so as not to create excitement or discussion.

1. The host and hostess should look after their guests, and not confine their attentions. They should, in fact, attend chiefly to those who are the least known in the room.

1. Avoid political and religious discussions. If you have a hobby, keep it to yourself.

1. After dancing, conduct your partner to a seat.

1. Resign her as soon as her next partner advances.

because it was believed that a nerve reached thence to the heart

1980.  Why the Wedding Ring is placed on the Fourth Finger

"We have remarked on the vulgar error which supposes that an artery runs from the fourth finger of the left hand to the heart. It is said by Swinburn and others, that therefore it became the wedding finger. The priesthood kept up this idea by still retaining it as the wedding finger, but the custom is really associated with the doctrine of the Trinity; for, in the ancient ritual of English marriages, the ring was placed by the husband on the top of the thumb of the left hand, with the words, 'In the name of the father;' he then removed it to the forefinger, saying, 'In the name of the Son;' then to the middle finger, adding, 'And of the Holy Ghost;' finally, he left it as now, on the fourth finger, with the closing word, 'Amen.'

1993.  Affectation is a Form of Pride

"If anything will sicken and disgust a man, it is the affected, mincing way in which some people choose to talk. It is perfectly nauseous. If these young jackanapes, who screw their words into all manner of diabolical shapes, could only feel how perfectly disgusting they were, it might induce them to drop it. With many, it soon becomes such a confirmed habit that they cannot again be taught to talk in a plain, straightforward, manly way. In the lower order of ladies' boarding-schools, and indeed, too much everywhere, the same sickening, mincing tone is too often found. Do, pray, good people, do talk in your natural tone, if you don't wish to be utterly ridiculous and contemptible."

1997.   The Happy Man, or True Gentleman

How happy is he born or taught,

That serveth not another's will,

Whose armour is his honest thought,

And simple truth his only skill:

Whose passions not his masters are.

Whose soul is still prepared for death

Not tied unto the world with care

Of prince's ear, or vulgar breath:

Who hath his life from rumours freed,

Whose conscience is his strong retreat

Whose state can neither flatterers feed.

Nor ruin make oppressors great,

Who God doth late and early pray

More of His grace than gifts to lend;

And entertains the harmless day

With a well-chosen book or friend;

This man is freed from servile bands,

Of hope to rise or fear to fall;

Lord of himself, though not of lands,

And having nothing, yet hath all.

Sir Henry Wotton

"We should ever have it fixed in our memories, that by the character of those whom we choose for our friends our own character is likely to be formed, and will certainly be judged of by the world. We ought, therefore, to be slow and cautious in contracting intimacy; but when a virtuous friendship is once established, we must ever consider it as a sacred engagement."

2181.  Words

2182.  Gossiping

2183.  Rules of Conduct

1. Never lose any time,—I do not think that time lost which is spent in amusement or recreation some part of each day; but always be in the habit of being employed.

1. Never err the least in truth.

1. Never say an ill thing of a person when thou canst say a good thing of him; not only speak charitably, but feel so.

1. Never be irritable or unkind to anybody.

1. Never indulge thyself in luxuries that are not necessary.

1. Do all things with consideration; and when thy path to act right is most difficult, feel confidence in that Power alone which is able to assist thee, and exert thy own powers as far as they go.

2184.  The Female Temper

2185.  Counsels for the Young

1. Never be cast down by trifles. If a spider break his thread twenty times, he will mend it again as often.

1. Make up your mind to do a thing, and you will do it.

1. Fear not if a trouble comes upon you; keep up your spirits, though the day be a dark one. If the sun is going down, look up to the stars. If the earth is dark, keep your eye on heaven. With God's promises, a man or a child may be cheerful.

1. Mind what you run after. Never be content with a bubble that will burst—firewood that will end in smoke and darkness. Get that which you can keep, and which is worth keeping.

1. Fight hard against a hasty temper. Anger will come, but resist it strongly. A fit of passion may give you cause to mourn all the days of your life.

1. Never revenge an injury. If you have an enemy, act kindly to him, and make him your friend. You may not win him over at once, but try again. Let one kindness be followed by another, till you have compassed your end. By little and little, great things are completed; and repeated kindness will soften the heart of stone.

1. Whatever you do, do it willingly. A boy that is whipped to school never learns his lessons well. A man who is compelled to work cares not how badly it is performed. He that pulls off his coat cheerfully, turns up his sleeves in earnest, and sings while he works, is the man of action.

2186.  Advice to Young Ladies

1. If you have blue eyes you need not languish: if black eyes, you need not stare.

1. If you have pretty feet there is no occasion to wear short petticoats: if you are doubtful as to that point, there can be no harm in letting the petticoats be long.

1. If you have good teeth, do not laugh in order to show them: if bad teeth do not laugh less than the occasion may warrant.

1. If you have pretty hands and arms, you may play on the harp if you play well: if they are disposed to be clumsy, work tapestry.

1. If you have a bad voice, speak in a subdued tone: if you have the finest voice in the world, never speak in a high tone.

1. If you dance well, dance but seldom; if ill, never dance at all.

1. If you sing well, make no previous excuses: if indifferently, do not hesitate when you are asked, for few people are judges of singing, but every one is sensible of a desire to please.

1. To preserve beauty, rise early.

1. To preserve esteem, be gentle.

1. To obtain power, be condescending.

1. To live happily, try to promote the happiness of others.

[1]

"We advise all who are fond of cayenne not to think it too much trouble to make it of English chilis,—there is no other way of being sure it is genuine,—and they will obtain a pepper of much finer flavour, without half the heat of the foreign. A hundred large chilis, costing only two shillings, will produce you about two ounces of cayenne,—so it is as cheap as the commonest cayenne. Four hundred chilis, when the stems were taken off, weighed half a pound; and when dried produced a quarter of a pound of cayenne pepper. The following is the way to make it:—Take away the stalks, and put the pods into a cullender; set them before the fire,—they will take full twelve hours to dry;—then put them into a mortar, with one-fourth their weight of salt, and pound them and rub them till they are as fine as possible, and put them into a well-stoppered bottle."

2236.  How to take care of your Hat

1. Should you get caught in a shower, always remember to brush your hat well while wet. When dry, brush the glaze out, and gently iron it over with a smooth flat iron.

1. If your hat is very wet, or stained with sea water, get a basin of clean cold water, and a good stiff brush; wash it well all over, but be careful to keep the nap straight; brush it as dry as you can, then put it on a peg to dry. When dry, brush the glaze out, and gently iron it over as above.

1. Should you get a spot of grease on your hat, just drop one drop of benzine or sapine on the place, and then rub it briskly with a piece of cloth until out.

1. Should you be travelling, always tie your hat up in a handkerchief before putting it into your case; this will save it from getting rubbed or damaged through the friction of the rail or steamboat.

1. Never put your hat flat on the brim, as it will spoil its shape; but always hung it up on a peg.

1. Never put your hat, wet or dry, in front of the fire, as it will soften it, and throw it all out of shape.

1. Before putting your hat down, be careful to see if the place is free from spots of grease, beer, sugar, &c., as these things often spoil a good hat more than a twelvemonths' wear, and are often very difficult to remove.

'After well cleaning and pressing, brush the coarser kinds of algae over with spirits of turpentine, in which two or three small lumps of gum mastic have been dissolved, by shaking in a warm place; two-thirds of a small phial is the proper proportion, and this will make the specimens retain a fresh appearance.'"

Miss Gifford's Marine Botanist.

2338.  To Preserve Fungi

"Take two ounces of sulphate of copper, or blue vitriol, and reduce it to powder; pour upon it a pint of boiling water; and when cold, add half a pint of spirits of wine; cork it well, and call it 'the pickle.' To eight pints of water, add one pint and a half of spirits of wine, and call it 'the liquor.' Be provided with a number of wide-mouthed bottles of different sizes, all well fitted with corks. The fungi should be left on the table as long as possible, to allow the moisture to evaporate; they should then he placed in the pickle for three hours, or longer, if necessary; then place them in the bottles intended for their reception, and fill with the liquor. They should then be well corked and sealed, and arranged in order, with their names in front of the bottles."

"Noticing in your paper an account of the death of a man from the bite of a cat, I beg to trouble you with the following case, which occurred to myself about three weeks ago:—I took a strange dog home, which produced consternation among the cats. One of them I took up, to effect a reconciliation between her and the dog. In her terror, she bit me so severely on the first finger of the left hand, as not only to cause four of the teeth of her lower jaw to enter the flesh, but so agonizing was her bite that the pressure of her palate caused the finger to swell at the joint on the opposite side to where the lower teeth entered the finger. In a minute or two the pain was about as excruciating as anything I ever felt—certainly greater than I have suffered from a wound. I got some tincture of arnica, diluted with about twelve times the quantity of water, and proceeded to bathe the finger well with it. In about half a minute the blood began to flow freely, the pain ceased, and the swelling abated, and up to this moment I have had no further inconvenience or pain, not even soreness."

2573.  Laws of Croquet

1. There shall be no restriction to the number, weight, size, shape, or material of the mallets: nor as to the attitude or position of the striker.

1. The players shall toss for choice of lead and of balls: and a succession of games shall take the lead alternately and keep the same balls.

1. In commencing, each ball shall be placed at one foot from the first hoop in a direct line between the pegs; and a ball having been struck is at once in play, and croquetable whether it shall have made the first hoop or not.

1. A stroke is considered to have been taken if a ball is moved perceptibly; but should the player have struck it accidentally, and the umpire be satisfied that the stroke was accidental, the ball is replaced and the stroke taken again.

1. If the player make a foul stroke he loses his turn and all the points made therein, and the balls remain where they lie, at the option of the adversary. The following are considered foul strokes:

1. To strike with the mallet another ball instead of or besides one's own in making the stroke.

1. To spoon, that is, to push a ball without an audible knock.

1. To strike a ball twice in the same stroke.

1. To stop a ball with the foot in taking a loose Croquet.

1. To allow a ball to touch the mallet in rebounding from the turning peg.

1. To fail to stir the passive ball in taking Croquet.

1. If a player, in striking at a ball which lies against a peg or wire, should move it from its position by striking a peg or wire, the ball must be replaced, and the stroke taken again.

1. A player continues to play so long as he makes a point or hits a ball. A point consists in making a hoop or hitting the turning peg in order.

1. The ball has made its hoop when, having passed through from the playing side and ceased to roll, it cannot be touched by a straight-edge placed across the wires on the side from which it was played.

1. A player who hits a ball must take Croquet: that is, must strike his own ball while in contact with the other, so as perceptibly to stir both. In doing this he is _not_ allowed to place his foot on his ball. A player, when his turn comes round, may hit and Croquet each ball in succession, and can do this again after each point made, but between the points can only take Croquet once off each ball.

1. A playing ball which hits another after making a point is in hand, and the striker can score no point till he has taken Croquet. After hitting another, a ball may be stopped by any player; but should it, in rolling, displace any of the other balls, such balls must remain where they are driven.

1. When, at the commencement of a turn, two balls are found touching, Croquet must be taken at once, without repeating the hit.

1. When a player, in his stroke, hits one or more balls, he must take Croquet off the ball that is struck first; but if he has hit two simultaneously, he may choose from which of them he will take it, and in both cases a second hit is required before he can take it from the other ball.

1. Should the ball in making its hoop strike another that lies beyond the hoop and then pass through it, the hoop and the hit both count; but, should any part of the ball that is hit have been lying beneath the hoop, the Croquet must be taken, but the hoop does not count.

1. A rover which strikes or is driven by another ball against the winning peg is out of the game, and must be removed from the ground.

1. A player who pegs out a rover by a first hit cannot take Croquet from it, as the ball is out of the game, and he is not entitled to another stroke.

1. Should a player play out of his turn, or with a wrong ball, and this be discovered by his antagonist before a second stroke in error has been made, the turn is lost, and all points made after the mistake, and the balls shall remain as they lay at the time the mistake was discovered, or be replaced to the satisfaction of the antagonist. But if he has made a second stroke before the error is discovered, he continues his break, and the next player follows with the ball that is next in rotation to the one with which he has played, and is liable to lose his turn, and all points made therein, if he plays with that which would have been the right ball if no mistake had been made.

1. Should a player make the wrong hoop by mistake, or Croquet a ball that he is not entitled to Croquet, and the mistake be discovered before he has made a second stroke, he loses his turn, and any point so made in error; but if he has made a second stroke before the discovery, he shall be allowed to continue his break.

1. In order to prevent the occurrence of the errors noticed in the above rules (Nos. xv. and xvi), a player is bound, upon being appealed to, to declare truly what is his next hoop or point in order, and is entitled to demand of his antagonist what he his played last, and to insist upon his clip being properly placed.

1. When clips are used they should be moved by the umpire, or with his cognisance, at the end of each turn, and their position shall he conclusive as to the position of the balls in the game.

1. Should a ball in play be accidentally stopped by the umpire, he places it where he considers that it would have rolled to. Should it be stopped by a player, it will rest with the side opposed to that player to say whether the ball shall remain where it stopped, or be placed by the umpire, or the stroke be taken again.

1. If a ball lies within a mallet's length of the boundary, and is not the playing ball, it must at once be put out three feet at right angles from the boundary; but if it is the playing ball, it may, at the discretion of the player, either be put out or played from where it lies.

1. If it is found that the height of the boundary interferes with the stroke, the player may, at the umpire's discretion, bring out the ball so far as to allow of the free swing of the mallet, and in taking a Croquet both the balls.

1. Should a player, in trying to make his hoop, knock a wire out of the ground with his ball or mallet, the stroke shall be taken again.

1. Any player may set upright a peg or hoop except the one next in order; and that, however loose, awry, or slanting it may be, must not be altered except by the umpire.

1. No ball may be moved because of its lying in a hole or on bad ground, except by the umpire or with his permission.

1. Where there is no umpire present, permission to move a ball, or to set up a hoop or peg or other indulgence for which an umpire would have been appealed to, must be asked of the other side.

1. The decision of the umpire shall in all cases be final. His duties are:

1. To move the clips, or see that they are properly moved;

1. to decide on the application of the laws;

1. to satisfy any player as to the point that is next to be made, or the right ball to play;

1. to keep the score. But he shall not give his opinion, or notice any error that may be made, unless appealed to by one of the players.

1. It was also decided that the mallet should be held within twelve inches of its head.

2574.  Supplementary Laws

1. If a ball be driven partly through its hoop from the non-playing side, and remain so that a straight-edge placed in contact with the hoop on the non-playing side touches the ball, the ball cannot run its hoop at its next stroke.

1. If in taking Croquet the striker's ball go off the ground, the striker loses the remainder of his turn; but if by the same stroke the striker make a point or a Croquet, he continues his turn.

1. If, after a Croquet, the striker's ball, while rolling, be touched by the striker or his partner, the stroke is foul.

2575.  Difference between Old and New Laws

2576.  Technical Terms Used in Croquet

1. Roquet.—To strike another ball with your own.

1. Croquet.—When two balls are in contact, the player strikes the other away, either with or without putting the foot on your own ball, as may be previously arranged.

1. A loose Croquet is made by striking your opponent's ball without putting your foot on your own ball. In taking "two off" it is, however, necessary that the ball should be seen to move.

1. Wired.—A ball is in contact with a hoop, so as to prevent it going through.

1. Bridge Ball.—One that has passed the first arch.

1. Dead Ball.—One in hand after having roqueted another.

1. To Peg.—To play for either of the pegs in regular order.

1. The Tour.—The run given to each player till he fails to strike through a hoop.

1. To Dismiss a ball is to Croquet it to a distance.

1. Rover.—You become a Rover when you have completed the hoops from point to point, and instead of hitting the starting-peg and retiring, you prefer to strike your ball to any part of the ground, croqueting friends or foes.

1. The terms side stroke, straight stroke, following ball, over-running a bridge, running a bridge, &c., explain themselves.

2578.  Rules

1. Any number of persons may play, whether singly or on sides.

1. Each player strings for lead, and he whose ball falls into the highest hole begins.

1. The winner of the lead plays the nine balls successively up the table from baulk, first striking at the red ball on the spot.

1. The red ball counts double when holed, and each white ball scores towards game a number corresponding to that marked in the hole (when two coloured balls are used, each counts double).

1. The red ball must be first struck; and the rest of the balls are played up to the holes, the sum total of all the holes filled being the striker's score.

1. Any number of rounds agreed on may be played, and the highest aggregate total by a player or by partners wins the game.

1. A ball rebounding beyond the baulk line, or forced off the table, is put aside and not re-used in that round.

2595.  Troco or Lawn Billiards

2596.  Rules

1. Troco may be played by two or more persons, each of whom is provided with a ball and a cue. When more than two play, sides are chosen, and the side which first makes the requisite number of points wins the game.

1. The players stand in a circle, in the centre of which is set up the pivot-ring.

1. Each player starts from any portion of the circle distant not less than four yards from the ring. The first player lifts his ball with the spoon-cue, and throws it towards the ring; each of the others taking his turn alternately—the balls remaining on the ground where they stop rolling.

1. If the first player fail to "make his ring," the next goes on, who may either throw at the ring or at the ball in the circle.

1. Partners may assist each other in getting near the ring; but no player, at starting, may step within four yards of the ring.

1. Two points are counted for every canon, and three for every fairly-made ring; and successive points are reckoned for any number of rings or canons.

1. Each player goes on till he fails to canon or ring his ball; when the next plays; and so on, till the required number of points are made.

1. One point is taken off the player's score for every foul stroke. Foul strokes are made by touching a ball with hand or person while it is in play; by playing with a wrong ball; by playing out of turn; by overturning the ring; and by making two or more steps while throwing the ball.

1. Each player, after the start, must go on from the place at which his ball was left after the previous stroke.

1. All disputed points must be settled by the umpire, whose decision is final.

1. No ball in-play must be removed from its position except by a stroke from another ball, and every ball is considered to be in-play while it is within the circle, which may be of any dimensions chosen by the players previous to the commencement of the game.

1. Any player leaving a game before it is finished, loses it.

2597.  Habits of a Man of Business

1. He is strict in keeping his engagements.

1. He does nothing carelessly or in a hurry.

1. He employs nobody to do what he can easily do himself.

1. He keeps everything in its proper place.

1. He leaves nothing undone that ought to be done, and which circumstances permit him to do.

1. He keeps his designs and business from the view of others.

1. He is prompt and decisive with his customers, and does not over-trade his capital.

1. He prefers short credits to long ones; and cash to credit at all times, either in buying or selling; and small profits in credit cases with little risk, to the chance of better gains with more hazard.

1. He is clear and explicit in all his bargains.

1. He leaves nothing of consequence to memory which he can and ought to commit to writing.

1. He keeps copies of all his important letters which he sends away, and has every letter, invoice, &c., belonging to his business, titled, classed, and put away.

1. He never suffers his desk to be confused by many papers lying upon it.

1. He is always at the head of his business, well knowing that if he leaves it, it will leave him.

1. He holds it as a maxim that he whose credit is suspected is not one to be trusted.

1. He is constantly examining his books, and sees through all his affairs as far as care and attention will enable him.

1. He balances regularly at stated times, and then makes out and transmits all his accounts current to his customers, both at home and abroad.

1. He avoids as much as possible all sorts of accommodation in money matters, and lawsuits where there is the least hazard.

1. He is economical in his expenditure, always living within his income.

1. He keeps a memorandum-book in his pocket, in which he notes every particular relative to appointments, addresses, and petty cash matters.

1. He is cautious how he becomes security for any person; and is generous when urged by motives of humanity.

2611.  Frugality

1. The great philosopher, Dr. Franklin, inspired the mouthpiece of his own eloquence, "Poor Richard," with "many a gem of purest ray serene," encased in the homely garb of proverbial truisms. On the subject of frugality we cannot do better than take the worthy Mentor for our text, and from it address our remarks. A man may, if he knows not how to save as he gets, "keep his nose all his life to the grindstone, and die not worth a groat at last. A fat kitchen makes a lean will."

"Many estates are spent in getting,

Since women for tea forsook spinning and knitting,

And men for punch forsook hewing and splitting."

1. If you would be wealthy, think of saving as well as of getting. The Indies have not made Spain rich, because her out-goes are greater than her in-comes.

1. Away with your expensive follies, and you will not have so much cause to complain of hard times, heavy taxes, and chargeable families.

1. "What maintains one vice would bring up two children."

1. You may think, perhaps, that a little tea, or superfluities now and then, diet a little more costly, clothes a little finer, and a little entertainment now and then, can be no great matter; but remember, "Many a little makes a mickle."

1. Beware of little expenses: "A small leak will sink a great ship," as Poor Richard says; and again, "Who dainties love, shall beggars prove;" and moreover, "Fools make feasts and wise men eat them."

1. Here you are all got together to this sale of fineries and nick-nacks. You call them goods; but if you do not take care they will prove evils to some of you. You expect they will be sold cheap, and perhaps they may, for less than they cost; but if you have no occasion for them they must be dear to you.

1. Remember what Poor Richard says, "Buy what thou hast no need of, and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessaries."

1. "At a great pennyworth, pause awhile." He means, perhaps, that the cheapness is apparent only, and not real; or the bargain, by straightening thee in thy business, may do thee more harm than good; for in another place he says, "Many have been ruined by buying good pennyworths."

1. "It is foolish to lay out money in the purchase of repentance;" and yet this folly is practised every day at auctions for want of minding the Almanack.

"Let me see: I gave you 10s. on Saturday, and 9d. the day before. Was it 9d.? No, it must have been 11d., for I gave you 1s., and you gave me 1d. out for the beggar; then there was 6s. 6d. on Monday, and 8d. you owed me from last money; and then the 1s. 6d. your master gave you for a parcel—you brought him 2d. back, and 3d-1/2. out of the butcher's bill; no—you had to give 3-1/2d. to the butcher, but you came to me for the 1/2d., and I had no coppers, so we still owe him the 1/2d.; by the way, don't forget to pay him the next time you go. Then there's the baker—no, I paid the baker myself, and I think the housemaid paid the butter-man; but you got in the cheese the day before, and I have a sort of recollection that I may possibly owe you for that, all but a few pence you must have had left of mine, that I told you to take from off the chimney-piece. Well, cook, I think that's nearly all! Now how do your accounts stand?"

Home Truths for Home PeaceMuddle Defeated.

Time Brings Everything to Those who can Wait.

2615.  Don't Run in Debt

"Don't run in debt;"—never mind, never mind

If your clothes are faded and torn:

Mend them up, make them do; it is better by far

Than to have the heart weary and worn.

Who'll love you the more for the shape of your hat,

Or your ruff, or the tie of your shoe,

The cut of your vest, or your boots, or cravat,

If they know you're in debt for the new?

There's no comfort, I tell you, in walking the street

In fine clothes, if you know you're in debt,

And feel that, perchance, you some tradesman may meet,

Who will sneer—"They're not paid for yet."

Good friends, let me beg of you, don't run in debt;

If the chairs and the sofas are old,

They will fit your back better than any new set,

Unless they are paid for—with gold;

If the house is too small, draw the closer together,

Keep it warm with a hearty good-will;

A big one unpaid for, in all kinds of weather,

Will send to your warm heart a chill.

Don't run in debt—now, dear girls, take a hint,

if the fashions have changed since last season,

Old Nature is out in the very same tint,

And old Nature, we think, has some reason;

But just say to your friend, that you cannot afford

To spend time to keep up with the fashion;

That your purse is too light and your honour too bright,

To be tarnished with such silly passion.

Men, don't run in debt—let your friends, if they can.

Have fine houses, and feathers, and flowers:

But, unless they are paid for, be more of a man

Than to envy their sunshiny hours.

If you've money to spare, I have nothing to say—

Spend your silver and gold as you please;

But mind you, the man who his bill has to pay

Is the man who is never at ease.

Kind husbands, don't run into debt any more;

'Twill fill your wives' cup full of sorrow

To know that a neighbour may call at your door,

With a claim you must settle to-morrow

Oh! take my advice—it is good, it is true!

But, lest you may some of you doubt it,

I'll whisper a secret now, seeing 'tis you—

I have tried it, and know all about it,

The chain of a debtor is heavy and cold.

Its links all corrosion and rust;

Gild it o'er as you will, it is never of gold,

Then spurn it aside with disgust.

Afterwards, where there are any gold or silver flowers, take a piece of crimson ingrain velvet, rub the flowers with it, which will restore them to their original lustre.

1. Pass them through a solution of fine hard soap of a moderate heat, drawing them through the hand; rinse in lukewarm water, dry, and finish by pinning out. Brush the flossy or bright side with a clean clothes-brush, the way of the nap. Finish them by dipping a sponge into a size, made by boiling isinglass in water, and rub the wrong side. Rinse out a second time, and brush, and dry near a fire in a warm room.

2766.  Rules of Lawn Tennis

1. The Court, for a single-handed game, should be 78 ft. long and 27 ft. wide, and for a double-handed game the same length, but 36 ft. wide, divided across the centre by a net attached to two upright posts. The net should be 3 ft. 6 in. high at the posts, and 3 ft. at the centre. At each end of the court, parallel with the net, are the base lines, whose extremities are connected by the side lines. The half-court line is halfway between the side lines and parallel with them. The service lines are 21 ft. from the net and parallel with it.

1. The balls should be 2-1/2 in. in diameter and 2 oz. in weight.

1. The players stand on opposite sides of the net. The player who first delivers the ball is called the server, the other the striker-out.

1. At the end of each game the striker-out becomes server, and the server striker-out.

1. The server stands with one foot beyond the base line, and delivers the service from the right and left courts alternately.

1. The balls served must, without touching the net, drop within the court nearest to the net, diagonally opposite to that from which the striker serves it.

1. If the service be delivered from the wrong court it is a fault. It is also a fault if the server does not stand in the manner as stated above, or if the ball served drop in the net or beyond the service line, or if it drop out of court, or go in the wrong court.

1. A fault must not be taken, that is, played back to the server.

1. The striker-out may not volley the service. Volleying is striking the ball back before it has touched the ground.

1. The ball, having been returned, must be kept in play either by volleying it, or striking it back after the first bounce. A ball bouncing twice is out of play.

1. If, in serving, the ball touch the net and go over into the proper court, it counts to neither server nor striker-out.

1. The server scores if the striker-out volley the service, or fail to return the service in such a way that the ball would fall within the opponents' court.

1. Two consecutive faults count a stroke against the server.

1. If the ball when in play touch either player it scores a stroke for his opponent.

1. The first stroke won by either player scores 15 to that player; the second, won by the same player, raises his score to 30, his third stroke to 40, and his fourth counts game. If, however, the players have both scored 40, it is called deuce, and the next stroke won by either is called advantage to the winner of it, and if he also win the following stroke he scorea game. Should he lose it the score returns to deuce. The player winning two consecutive strokes directly following a deuce scores game.

1. Whichever player first scores six games is considered to win the set.

2767.  Three—Handed and Four-Handed Lawn Tennis

1. The laws as given above apply equally to these games. The difference in the width of the court has been stated.

1. In Four-handed Tennis the players deliver the service in turns: thus supposing A and B are partners opposed to C and D; A serves in the first game, C in the second, B serves in the third, and D in the fourth, and so on.

1. In Three-handed Tennis the single player serves in each alternate game.

1. No player may return a service that has been delivered to his partner.

Enquire Within

Written on the publication of the Four Hundred and Thirtieth Thousand

Only a few short years have sped

Since I this work of love begun;

By thousands sought, by millions read,

All their approving smiles I've won.

Now, while reflecting on the past,

My day of life seems closing in,

Let me, while powers of reason last,

"Enquire Within,"

Oh, ye—who gentle are and fair—

Who to these modest pages turn,

To raise a smile, to soothe a care,

Or some moot point of duty learn,—

Forget not this: that whilst you live,

Your hearts may yield to pride or sin,

Take, then, the warning here I give,—

"Enquire Within."

Would you acquire the greatest peace—

The sweetest joy—this world can give?

Bid hatred, pride, and envy cease,

And learn a Christian's life to live;

Each eve, before your eyelids close,

And slumbers of the night begin,

That your own heart may find repose,

"Enquire Within."

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
