Apostrophe, (’) or mark of elision, in-
dicates that a letter is left out ; as, lov'd
for loved, don’t for do not. It is used
properly enough in poetry, but should
never be used in prose. “ It ought to
be called the mark not of elision, but of
lasituss and vulgarity, except when
used to denote the possessive case of
Noons."

Hyphen (-) is used to connect words
or parts of words ; as in tea-pot, water-
rat.
The Dash marks a break in the sen-
tence, or an abrupt turn, though it is
occasionally used merely to disjoin a
parenthetical clause ; as,
*' If thou art he — but O how fallen I
* ‘ Peter and J ohn — for they were to-
gether— stood up before the council."
Paragraph Tf is used to denote the
beginning of a new subject.
Section (§) is sometimes used instead
of the word section.
PUTTY, to Soften.— Apply fre-
quently to the putty diluted sulphuric
add, or a little nitric or muriatic acid,
and in a short time it will become
so soft, as to be easily removed.

QUAILS, to Fricassee.
Having tossed them up in a saucepan
with a little melted butter, and mush-
rooms, put in a slice of ham, well beaten,
with salt, pepper, doves, and savory
herbs ; add good gravy, and a glass of
sherry ; simmer over a slow fire : when
almost done, thicken the ragout with a
good cullis, (i. e. a good broth, strained,
gellatined, &c.) or with two or three
eggs✪ Quails, to Fricassee, well beaten up in a little gravy.
QUAILS, to Roast. — Roast
them without drawing, and serve on '
toast. Butter only should be eaten
with them, as gravy takes off the fine
flavour. The thigh and back are the
most esteemed.
QUAKING PUDDING.
Scald a quart of cream ; when almost
cold, put to it four eggs well beaten, a
spoonful and a half of flour, some nut-
megs and sugar ; tie it dose in a but-
tered doth✪ Quaking Pudding ; boil it an hour, and turn it
out with care, lest it should crack.
Melted butter, a little wine and sugar.
QUASSIA. — This plant derives
its name from Quassi, a negro of Sur-
inam : by it he cured the malignant
fevers peculiar to that country. For
gold he disclosed his remedy to Mr.
Rolander, a Swede, who introduced it
into Europe. It is now chiefly brought
from the West Indies. It is much used
by the brewers. It is one of the most
powerful of the bitter tonics, tending to
the narcotic. It is a good remedy for
Indigestion, invigorating the digestive
organs, with little excitement of the cir-
culation, or increase of animal heat : it
is very bitter, but it has no smell. It*
narcotic prindple, though slight, is
proved by its destruction of flies. The
infusion of it is made by pouring a pint
of boiling water upon 2 scruples of the
chips or raspings. Orange peel renders
it more grateful to the stomach.
QUEEN CAKES.— Mix 1 lb.
of dried flour, the same of sifted sugar,
and of washed dean currants. Wash
1 lb. of butter in rose water, beat it
well, then mix with it eight eggs✪ Queen Cakes, yolks
and whites beaten separately, and put
in the dry ingredients by degrees ; beat
the whole an hour ; butter little tins,
teacups, or saucers, and bake the batter
in, filling only half. Sift a little fine
sugar over just as you put it into the
oven.

Apostrophe, (’) or mark of elision, indicates that a letter is left out ; as, lov'd for loved, don’t for do not. It is used properly enough in poetry, but should never be used in prose. “ It ought to be called the mark not of elision, but of laziness and vulgarity, except when used to denote the possessive case of Noons."
