urniture, dip a sponge or brush into the mixture, wet them all
over, and pour some of the liquid into the holes and crevices. If any
should afterwards appear, wet the lacings of the bed, the foldings of
the curtains near the rings, and other parts where it is at all likely
the bugs may nestle and breed, and it will not fail to destroy them. The
smell of this mixture is not unwholesome, and may be applied to the
finest damask bed without any fear of soiling it. It should be well
shaked together, but never used by candle-light, for fear of its taking
fire.

BULLACE CHEESE. To every quart of full ripe bullace, add a quarter of a
pound of loaf sugar finely powdered. Put them into a pot, and bake them
in a moderate oven till they are soft. Rub them through a hair sieve;
to every pound of pulp add half a pound of loaf sugar powdered, and in
the meantime keep it stirring. Pour the pulp into preserving pots, tie
brandy paper over; and keep them in a dry place. When it has stood a few
months, it will cut out very bright and fine.

BUNS. To make a good plain bun, that may be eaten with or without
toasting and butter, rub four ounces of butter into two pounds of flour,
four ounces of sugar, a nutmeg, a few Jamaica peppers, and a
dessert-spoonful of caraways. Put a spoonful or two of cream into a cup
of yeast, and as much good milk as will make the above into a light
paste. Set it to rise by the fire till the oven be ready, and bake the
buns quickly on tins.--To make some of a richer sort, mix one pound and
a half of dried flour with half a pound of sugar. Melt eighteen ounces
of butter in a little warm water, add six spoonfuls of rose-water, and
knead the above into a light dough, with half a pint of yeast. Then mix
in five ounces of caraway comfits, and put some on them.

BURNS. In slight cases, the juice of onions, a little ink or brandy
rubbed immediately on the part affected, will prevent blisters. The
juice of burdock, mixed with an equal quantity of olive oil, will make a
good ointment for the purpose, and the fresh leaves of that plant may
also be applied as a kind of plaster. Houseleek used by itself, or mixed
with cream, will afford quick relief in external inflammations. A little
spirit of turpentine, or linseed oil, mixed with lime water, if kept
constantly to the part will remove the pain. But warm vinegar and water,
frequently applied with a woollen cloth, is most to be depended on in
these cases.
