ROSEMARY, to Cultivate.— It is propagated by slips or cuttings in the spring, in a bed of fight earth. When they are rooted, transplant them. The best season is in August , if they are planted later, they seldom five through winter, therefore if not transplanted at this time, they should be left till the following March, which is a very good time for removing them ; if the season be showery, they take root immediately. ROSEMARY POMATUM.— Melt equal parts of beef marrow, sper- maceti, and olive oil. When nearly cool, add 15 drops of oil of rosemary. If not stiff enough, add a little white wax, or beef suet. ROUGE. — Make a decoction of best Brazil wood, powdered, and best vinegar. Boil half an hour, strain, and replace on the fire. Dissolve lb. of alum, in a pint of best vinegar. Mix the two liquids and stir well with a wooden spatula. The scum which arises, on being carefully taken off, and gradually dried, will make a beautiful and harmless rouge, or carmine. ROYAL FRITTERS.— Milk, 1 quart ; put it into a saucepan, and as the milk boils up, pour in a pint of shejrry. Boil up and take off for six minutes. Skim off all the curd, and put it into a basin. Beat it well up with six eggs ; season with nutiqeg, and beat it up with a whisk ; add flour to make it as thick as batter ; add fine sugar, and fry quick. RUE, GARDEN.— It is very serviceable for approaching blindness, caused by disease of the optic nerve. It is a great disinfectant. In sprains, injury of the joints, rheumatic paralysis ot the joints, in bed sores even if broken and ulcerated, it is of immense service. It is best to buy the tincture of the homoeopathic chemists.
