One advantage connected with the scheme for turning the theatre into a washhouse, is the opportunity that would be afforded for employing some of the regular company of actors, who, in the mangling department, would be invaluable. The style in which they have occasionally got up and mangled some of Shakspeare's fine things ought never to be forgotten. With reference to the Fleet Prison, it is suggested by the committee that it is scarcely adapted to ordinary washing, though for purposes of whitewashing, it has always been found to answer. Should Covent Garden Theatre be fixed upon, due notice will be given of its being open for the season. A NEW TABLE TO CALCULATE WAGES. This table must depend a great deal on the sort of table kept by the master of the house in which the servant resides. As a general rule, the dripping admits of subtraction, and by calculating how many times the candle-box will go into the kitchen-stuff, a fair average may be arrived at. It must also be borne in mind, that as the water is to the milk, so is the beer-money. In families where the cupboard is left open, it follows frequently, that as the tea is to the sugar, so is the servant at both of them. THINGS WHICH CAN BE MUCH BETTER CONCEIVED THAN DESCRIBED. Getting out of an omnibus, and discovering you have left all your money on the mantel-piece. A woman discovering her first grey hair. Putting the lighted end of a cigar into your mouth. A person's indignation on being told "Queen Anne's dead." Meeting a creditor, and being obliged to sit opposite to him "the whole way" in an omnibus. Being asked, in a drawing-room of ladies, to take a few tickets in a raffle—"the ticket only a guinea!" Breaking your strap in the _pas seul_ in _La Pastorale_. The wine at a public dinner. DIRECTIONS FOR BREWING. One of the difficulties attendant on domestic brewing is the expense of the cask, but this may always be got by having a barrel of beer on trial from a regular brewer, and saying it is not quite out when the cask is applied for. By agreeing to pay for the beer, one barrel under the other, the expense becomes merely nominal. In order to prevent the lightning from turning the beer, a lightning conductor should be fixed in the bung-hole of the cask, or a stair-rod would perhaps be an economical substitute. Families who brew without exactly knowing how, may try the experiment of a polite note to Messrs. Barclay and Perkins, asking one of them to step round to put the parties in the right way, if they should be making a failure of the brewing. If the beer should be flat after having been left to cool in washing-tubs, a raisin may be thrown in, and if it fails to produce any effect, another raisin may be tried; but should the second raisin prove unsuccessful, it will be waste of time—and raisins—to go on with the experiment.
