ANOTHER RECEIPT FOR GINGER BEER.—One ounce of ginger, well bruised, and boiled in four quarts of water, with the skins of two lemons; when boiled, add the juice of the lemons, with one ounce of cream of tartar, and one pound and a half of lump sugar. Stir all well together; then put four quarts of cold water to it, and when lukewarm, add the whites of two eggs, beaten to a strong froth, with two table-spoonfuls of fresh yeast; let it ferment two or three hours, then bottle, and cork it tightly. It will be ready for use in twelve hours.—[The above receipt may be relied upon.] GINGER BEER POWDERS.—Powdered lump sugar, four ounces; carbonate of soda, five drachms; powdered ginger, one drachm. Mix these ingredients well together, divide into twelve equal parts—put each into a _blue_ paper. Tartaric acid, one ounce; divide into twelve equal parts—put each into a _white_ paper. Dissolve the contents of one of the blue and one of the white papers, each in half a glass of spring water. Pour one into the other, and drink while effervescing. [I have used this for many years, and have given it to many of my messmates.—T. J. L., Midshipman, R. N.] The tartaric acid may (if preferred) be thrown into the glass of the other mixture, which should then be nearly full. This plan prolongs the effervescence. Cost, 7d. SODA POWDERS.—Carbonate of soda, thirty grains in each blue paper; tartaric acid, twenty-five grains in each white paper. Mix as ginger beer powders. SEIDLITZ POWDERS (APERIENT).—Tartrate of soda, two drachms; carbonate of soda, two scruples; mix and put it in a _blue_ paper; tartaric acid, thirty-five grains, to be put in _white_ paper.

A dessert-spoonful to a glass of water. Cost, 1s. 4d., if mixed at home. SPRUCE BEER POWDERS.—Powdered white sugar, three ounces; essence of spruce, forty drops; carbonate of soda, five drachms and a scruple. Mix, and divide into two _blue_ papers. Tartaric acid, six drachms; wrap in twelve _white_ papers. Mix as ginger beer powders. Cost, 8d. PORTABLE LEMONADE.—Tartaric or citric acid, one ounce; finely powdered lump sugar, half a pound; essence of lemon, twenty drops. Mix. Two or three tea-spoonfuls make a capital glass of lemonade.

Boil water and sugar to a thin syrup, and skim it. When all are cold, mix the juice, the infusion, and the syrup, with as much more water as will make a rich drink. Strain through a jelly-bag, and ice.
