LADIES' DEPAKTMENT. 



Sponge Cake. — One pound of sugar ; half a 

 pound of flour ; eight eggs ; one teaspoonful of 

 essence of lemon or rose water, and half a nut- 

 meg gra'ed. Beat the yolks of the eggs, flour 

 and sugar together ; then add the whites beaten 

 to a high froth, when just ready for the oven. — 

 Butter some tin pans and put in the cake mix- 

 ture rather more than an inch deep. Bake in a 

 quick oven for twenty minutes ; when cold, cut 

 in squar3s. 



Buckwheat for Coloring. — The fresh blos- 

 soms and succulent stems of buckwheat have been 

 applied in Europe to the purposes of dyeing wool, 

 &c. The infusion, by the addition of prepara- 

 tions of bismuth and tin, produces a beautiful 

 brown color. From the dried flower bundles, 

 different shades of green are obtained. The Si- 

 berian species of wheat, in particular, yields a 

 fine yellow, which, upon boiling the wool still 

 longer in the dye, changes into a golden tint, and 

 at length becomes a beautiful yellow. — Farmers'' 

 Encyclopedia. 



For the Ladies. — A neiv way to make Cali- 

 coes wash well. — Infuse three gillsof salt in four 

 quarts of boiling water, and put the calicoes in 

 while hot and leave until cold. In this way the 

 colors are rendered permanent, and will not fade 

 by subsequent washing. 



A Friend to Humanity begs to inform the 

 public, that, in the dangerous case of pins swal- 

 lowed by accident, swallowingone egg, undress- 

 ed, and in the course of an hour afterward, anoth- 

 er, is an infallible remedy for carrying off the 

 pins, if done immediately, and before the pins 

 have worked themselves into the coats of the 

 stomach. — U. S. Gazette, Jan., 1780. 



The Wife. — That woman deserves not a hus- 

 band's generous love, who will not greet him 

 with smiles as he returns from the labors of the 

 day ; who will not try to chain him to his home 

 by the enchantment of a cheerful heart. There 

 is not one in a thousand that is so unfeeling as to 

 withstand such an influence, and break away 

 from such a home.
