Thickened Milk. — Take one pint of milk, one pint of water ; boil and add one tables [joonful of flour. Dissolve the flour first in half a tea-cupful of water ; it must be strained in gradually, and boiled hard twenty minutes. As the child grows older, one-third water. If properly made, it is the most nutritious, at the Same, the most delicate food that can be given to young children. To Polish Horn. — Scrape with a piece of glass, or a razor, not too sharp, and without notches, as smooth as possible ; next rub the horn with very tine glass paper, afterwards with the finest emery, and finally with pulverised oharcoal damped with water. These should be spread upon a piece of flannel or cloth. Finish off with a piece of cloth covered with bees-wax. This last operation must be performed with pressure and briskness till the polished surface appears. No More Broken Glass.— The break age of glass is to be a difficult thing in future. On the authority of Dr. C. W. Siemens, the electrician, we learn that a French gentleman-farmer, of an experi menting turn of mind, has discovered that when glass is heated to redness, then cooled and annealed in oil, it is rendered wonderfully tough and irrefrangible. Dr Siemens' brother, a glass maker in Dres den, is said to pronounce the process as " certain and unquestionable." We may, therefore, look forward to quite a revolu tion in the manufacture of glass.
