poons with it on a salver.--To make
very fine syllabubs. Take a quart and half a pint of cream, a pint of
Rhenish, and half a pint of sack; grate the rind of three lemons into
the cream; with near a pound of double-refined sugar; squeeze the juice
of three lemons into the wine, and put it to the cream; then beat all
together with a whisk half an hour, take it up together with a spoon,
and fill the glasses. It is best at three or four days old, and will
keep good nine or ten days. These are called the everlasting syllabubs.

SYMPATHETIC INK. Write on paper with a solution of nitrate of bismuth,
and smear the writing over with a feather, moistened with an infusion of
galls. The letters which were before invisible, will now appear of a
brown colour. Or write with a solution of muriate of antimony, and
smear the writing over with a feather dipped in a solution of galls. The
writing before invisible, will now turn yellow. Or write with a
transparent infusion of gall nuts, and smear it over with a solution of
metallic salt; and on a slight exposure to the air, the writing will
turn quite black. If written with a solution of sulphate of iron, and
rubbed over with a solution of prussiate of potass, it will appear of a
beautiful blue colour.

SYRUP OF CREAM. Scald a pint of perfectly fresh cream, add to it a pound
and a quarter of powdered lump sugar. Keep it in a cool place for two or
three hours, then put it into small phials, holding one or two ounces
each, and cork it close. It will keep good thus for several weeks, and
will be found very useful in voyages.

SYRUP OF DIACODIUM. Steep two pounds and a quarter of poppy heads in a
gallon of water, and let it infuse twenty-four hours. Boil the infusion
till reduced to three pints, and add to it a pound and a half of sugar.

SYRUP OF MULBERRIES. Put the mulberries into a jar, and the jar into a
kettle of water over the fire, till the juice runs from them. Then
squeeze the fruit, and add to the juice twice its weight in sugar. Set
it over a slow fire, skim it clean, and keep it simmering till the sugar
is all dissolved.

TABLE BEER. If the quantity to be brewed is taken as a barrel, or six
and thirty gallons, two bushels and a half of malt will be sufficient.
The dimensions of the vessels may be supposed to correspond with those
used in a moderate family, and the copper holding about thirty gallons.
