    For Cyclists. Cyclists often complain of their lamps smoking, and want a remedy. Dip the wick in Hills and Underwood’s Vinegar for a few hours, and allow it to dry. It will never smoke after this. Salad Dressing. The following is a very valuable receipt for Salad Dressing:—Half-pint of Hills and Underwood’s best Vinegar, 2 ozs. olive oil, yolks of 3 eggs, cayenne pepper 3 grains, brown sugar 2 ozs., mustard 1J ozs., salt 1 oz., clotted cream 3 ozs. Horseradish Yinegar. Pour a quart of Hills and Under¬ wood’s best Vinegar on 3 ounces of scraped horseradish, an ounce of minced shalot, and one drachm of cayenne ; let it stand a week and you will have an excellent relish for cold beefs, salads, &c., costing scarcely anything. Horseradish is in the highest perfection about November. -- * Mint Yinegar. Put into a wide-mouth bottle, fresh, nice, clean mint leaves, enough to fill it loosely ; then fill up the bottle with Hills and Underwood’s Vinegar, and after it has been corked close for two or three weeks it is to be poured off clear into another bottle, and kept well corked for use. Serve with lamb when mint cannot be obtained.
