\      RE  AD  £  R,  pleafe  to  obferve, 

THIRST.  The  calculations  of  this  Almanack  are  made  to  fokir  or   • 
j    X      apparent  time  :  to  which  for  the  mean  or  clock  time,  apply  the 
j   equation  given  in  the  fixth  column  ;  adding  when  the  fun  is  flow,  and 
|   fubtra<ftir,g  when  faft. 

II.  The  time  of  high  water  at   Philadelphia  is  fo  computed  as  to 
[    ferve  for  either  morning   or  afternoon,  nearly  enough  for  common 

ufe  5  the  morning  flood  being  about    12   m.  earlier  than  the  time  in  j 
j   the  tide  column,  and  that  of  the  afternoon  as  much  later;  except  when  < 
there  happens  but  one  flood   in  the  day,  in  which  cafe  the  true  time   i 
is  given,  and  diftinguifhed  by  this  mark.  *  I 

III.  The  fun's  declination  is  carefully  fitted  to  the  meridian  of  Phi-  j 
ladelphia,  for  every  noon  of  the  prefent  year,  in  order  to  fiave  the  ac-  5 
curate  American  mariner  the  trouble  oi  proportioning  the  declina-  j 
tion  taken  from  the  London  tables  to  his  meridian,  in  voyages  near  I 
our  coafh ;  and  that  thofe  who  are  not  fo  particular  as  to  attend  to  v 
the  difference  of  the  London  and  Philadelphia  declinations,  may  have  j 
their  reckonings  the  more  correct. 

IV.  The  rihng,  fetting,  or  fouthing  of  a  ftar  may  be  carried  feve-  j 
ral  days  backward  by  adding,  or  forward  by  iubtracling,  4  m.  per  ]] 
day  :  for  inftance  :  on  the  8th  of  the  firft  Month  (January)  Sirius  is 
fouth  at  I  j  m.paft  n  ;  adding  12  m.  for  three  days  fooner,  we  have  j 
II  h.  27  in.  for  the  foy  thing  on  the  5th;  and  deducting  8  m.  for  2  j 
later,  leaves  11  h.  7  m.  for  that  of  the  10th  of  the  fame  month,  &c.  j 

V.  The  time  of  Alioth's  paffage  over  the  meridian,  or  when  a  j 
plumb-iiue  apparently  cuts  &oth  the  Pole-ftar  and  Alioth,    is  given,  i 

I   for  the  firft  fix  rncnths  above,  and  for  the  laft  fix  below,  the  pole,  to  j 

j    five  cays  in  every  month  j  and  may  be  readily  known  for  any  day  by 

the  preceding  note.    Tfcsfe  two  ftars  will  be  vifibly  coincident  with  a 

level  eaft  and  weft  line  at  5  h.  59  m.  before  or  after  Aiioth  paffes  the 

I   meridian  :  Thus  we  may  regulate  time-pieces  to  a  minute,  or^tell  the 

j   time  without  them.     The  Pole-ftar  is  on  the  meridian  five  minutes 

later  than  Alioth,  when  a  true  meridian  line  may  be  drawn  by  it, 

and  the  magnetic  variation  thereby  determined,  &c. 

Alioth  is  the  firft  ftar  in  the  tail  of  the  Great-Bear,  viz.  that  next 
to  thefquare;  or,  it  is  the  third  ftar  of  the  leven,  commonly  called 
the  Waggon,  or  Plough,  counting  toward  thofe  two  of  them  deno- 
minated the  Pointers. 

VI.  As  the  day  ends  at  midnight,  the  rifing,  fetting  and  fouthing  of 
the  moon,  when  after  that  time,  is  found  againft  the  fucceeding  day  : 
fo,  on  the  night  of  (or  following)  the  13th.  of  the  firft  Month  (Janu- 
ary) the  moon  rife*  at  1  h.  6  m.  after  midnight,  y^z.  in  the  morning 
of  the  14th,  not  at  o  h-  9  ni.  the  time  oppoiite  the  13th,  which  is  that 
of  its  rifing  .the  preceding  morning. 


To  afcertain  the  Time  of  Night  by  the  Itfioni  Shadow  on  a  Sun  Dial, 
TO  the  time  indicated  by  the  ftudow,  add  the  moon's  fouthing, 

:.nd  the  Sum,  when  under  12  h.  or  the  excefs  thereof  above  ret,   will 

be  the  time  of  night.

Account  of  the  Palma  Chvifti:  or 
Tree  that  produces  the  Caftor  Oil 
Nut. 

THIS  tree  is  of  fpeedy  growth;  as,  in 
one  year  it  arrives  at  its  full  heigh th, 
which  feWom  exceeds  twenty,  feet.  The 
trunk  is  fubligneous  ;  the  pith  is  large  ;  the 
leaves  broad  and  palmated  ;  the  flower  fpl^e 
is  fimple,  and  thickly  fei  with  yellow  bbf- 
foms  in  the  fliape  of  a  cone;  the  capfules 
are  triangular  and  prickly,  containing  three 
fmooth  grey  mottled  feeds. 

When  the  bunches  begin  to  turn  black, 
they  are  gathered,  dried  in  the  fun.  and  the 
feeds  picked  out.  They  are  afterwards  put 
ur  for  ufe,  as  wanted,  or  for  exportation. 

Caftor  oil  is  obtained  either  by  exprefiion 
or  by  decoction.  The  firft  method  is  prac- 
tifed  in  England  ;  the  latter  in  Jamaica.  It 
is  common  firft  to  parch  the  nuts  or  feeds  in 
an  iron  pot  over  the  fire  :  but  this  gives  the 
oil  an  empyreumatic  tafte,  fmeli,  and  co- 
lour ;  and  it  is  beft  prepared  in  this  man- 
ner : 

A  large  iron  pot  or  boiler  is  firft  prepa- 
red, and  half  filled  with  witer.  The  nuts 
are  then  beaten  in  parceh,  in  deep  wooden 
mortars,  and  after  a  quantity  is  beaten,  it  is 
thrown  into  the  iron  veffel.  The  lire  is 
then  lighted,  and  the  liquor  is  gently  buied 
for  two  hours,  and  kept  conftantly  ftirred.

Life's  prefent  comforts  this  at  once'dellroys, 

And  makes  us  reftlefs  for  untaftsd  joys. 

Heav'n  kindly  grants  the  boon,  which  we  implore  : 

That  boon  receiv'd,  we  murmur  as  before  ; 

By  wild  caprice,  from  youth  to  age  are  led, 

Nor  ceafe  complaints,  till  number'd  with  the  dead.

About  this  time,  the  oil  begins  to  feparate, 
and  fwims  on  the  top,  mixed  with  a  -white 
froth,  and  is  ffcinjmed  off,  till  no  more  rifes, 
The  fkimmings  are  heated  in  a  fmall  iron 
pot,  and  {trained  through  a  cloth.  When 
cold,  it  is  put  up  in  jars  or  bottles  for  ufe. 

Caftor  oil,  thus  made,  is  clear 'and  well 
flavoured;  and,  if  put  into  proper  bottle?, 
will  keep  fweet  for  years. 

The  exprefled  caftor  oil  foon  turns  rancid, 
becaufe  the  mucilaginous  and  acrid  parts  of 
the  nut  are  fqueezed  out  with  the  oil.  On 
this  account,  I  give  the  preference  to  well 
prepared  oil  by  decoction. 

An  Englifh  Gallon  of  the  feeds  yei|ds  a- 
bout  two  pounds  of  oil,  which  is  a  great 
proportion. 

Before  the  difturbanCes  in  America,  the 
planters  imported  train  oil  for  lamps  and  o- 
ther  purpofes  about  fugar  works.  It  is  now 
found  that  the  caftor  oil  can  be  procured  as 
ches.p  as  the  fifb  oil  of  America.  It  burns 
clearer,  and  has  not  any  offenfive  fmell. 
This  oil,  too,  is  fit  for  all  the  purpofes  of 
the  painter,  or  for  the  apothecary,  in  oint- 
ments and  platters. 

As  a  medicine,  it  purges  without  ftimu- 
lus;  and  is  fo  mild  as  to  be  given  to  infants 
foon  after  birth,  to  purge  off  the  meconium.

All  oils  are  noxious  to  infedb  :  but  the  caft- 
or  oil  kills  and  expels  tbem.  It  is  general- 
ly given  as  a  purge  after  .ufing  the  cabbage 
bark  fome  days. 

In  conftipation  and  belly-ach,  this  oil  is 
ufed  with  remarkable  fuccefs.  It  fits  well 
on  the  flomach,  allays  the  fpafm,and  brings 
about  a  plentiful  evacuation  by  flool,  efpeci- 
ally  if  at  the  fame  time  fomentations,  or  the 
warm  bath,  are  ufed. 

Belly-ach  is  at  prefent  lefs  frequent  in 
Jamaica  than  formerly,  owing  to  frverai 
caufes.  The  inhabitants,  in  general,  live 
better  and  drink  better  liquors.  But  the 
exceffive  drinking  of  new  rum  Hill  tnakes-it 
frequent  among  ibldiers,-  feilors,  and  the 
lower  order  of  white  people.  I  have  known 
it  happen  too  from  viiceral  ebftruciite>n3,  af- 
ter intermittent*,  or  March  fevers  in  Ja- 
maira. 

The  Deformed  and  Handibme  L>eg. 

By  Dr.  Franklin. 

THERE  are  two  forts  of  people  in  the 
world,  who,  with  equal  degrees  of 
health  and  wealth,  and  the  other  comforts 
of  life,  become,  the  okc  happy,  and  the  o- 
ther  miferable.  This  arifes  very  much  from 
the  different  views  in  which  th«y  confider 
things,  perfons,  and  events —  and  the  effect 
of  thofe-  different  views  upon  their  own 
minds.

pofition  to  cnticife  and  be  difguiied,  is,  per- 
haps, taken  up  criir:r-iir  by  imitation,  a::d 
is  unawares  grown  into  a  hub::,  which, 
though  at  prefent  ftrong,  may  pevci 
be  cured,  when  thole,  who  have  it,  ar-.-  con- 
vinced cf  its  bad  effects  on  their  felicity.  I 
hope  this  little  admonition  may  be  of  fervice 
to  them — aijd  put  them  on  changing  a  ha- 
bit, v.  inch,  though  in  the  exerciie  it  is 
chiefly  an  act  of  imagination,  yet  has  ferioqs 
confequences  in  life,  as  it  brings  on  real 
griefs  and  misfortunes.  For,  as  many  are 
offended  by,  and  nobody  loves,  this  fort  of 
people,  no  one  fliows  them  more  than  the 
raoft  common  civility  and  rdpeel,  i.ul 
fcarcely  that  ;  and  this  frequently  puts  them 
out  of  humour,  and  draws  them  into  dis- 
putes and  contentions.  If  they  aim  at  ob- 
taining fome  advantage  in  rank  or  fortune, 
nobody  wifhes  them  fuccefs,  or  will  fllr  a 
ftep  or  fpeak  a  word  to  favour  their  pre tehr 
fi<;ns.  If  they  incur  jubiic  ctniurt;  or  dif- 
grace,  no  one  will  defend  or  excuie,  and  n.a- 
ny  join  to  aggravate  their  miiccndi;c>,  and 
render  them  completely  omens.  It  thei'c 
people  will  not  change  this  bad  habit,  aud 
condefcend  to  be  pleated,  with  what  i?  pleaf- 
ing,  without  fretting  thtmfelvis  and  others 
about  the  contraries,  it  is  good  for  others  to 
void  an  acquaintance  with  them,  which  is

convenient,  efpecially   when  one  finds  him- 
felf  entangled  in  their  quarrels. 

An  old  philufophical  friend  of  mine  "as 
grown,  from  experience,  very  captious  in 
this  particular,  arully  avoided  any  in- 

timacy with  fuch  people.      He  hac 
ther  philosophers,  a   cKermonjeter  to  fiuw 
him  the  heat  of  the  weather,   ~u^  a  baro- 
meter, to  mark  when  k  was  lately  to  prove 
good  or  bad  ;  but  there  being  no  instrument 
invented  to  difecver,  at  firft  light,  this  un- 
pleaung  dilpofition  in  a  peribn,   he  :br  that 
purpofe  made  ufe  of  his  Ieg=,  one  of  which 
was  remarkably  handfome,   the    other,   by 
fome  accicent,  crooked  and  deformed.      If  a 
\  at  the  firfl  interview,  regarded  his 
ugly  kg  more  than  his  handfome  one,  he 
doubted  him.      If  he  fpoke  of  it,   and  took 
no  notice  of  the  handfome  leg,  that  was  fuf- 
ficient  to  determine  my  philcfopher  to  have 
no  further  acquaintance  with   him.      Every  j 
body  has  not   this  two-legged  inilrument —  j 
but  every  one,  with  a  little  attention,  may  jj 
obferve  figns  of   that  carping,  fault-finding  \ 
difpofition,  and  take  the  fame   refolution  of  \ 
avoiding  the  acquaintance  of  thole  in 
with  it.      I  therefore   advife    thofe  critical,  j 
querulous,    difcontented,    unhappy    people,  '\ 
that  if  they  vvifh  to  be  refpecUd  and

With  children  bleii,  anxiety  commences: 
He  talks  of  nothing  then,  but  vail  expences. 

Thus  difcontent  ieems  woven  in  our  frame, 
And  perfect  blifs  is  nothing  but  a  name. 
Yet  if  we  ftrove  with  diligence  fincere 
To  keep  our  bieaih  from  cankering  envy  clear, 
Much  of  this  peevjih  humour  would  i'ubfide  ; 
The  gveateft  bar  to  liappinefs,  is  pride.

Method  of  dejlroybig  the  putrid  Smell 
which  Meat  acquires  during  hot  Wea- 
ihrr. 

EVERY  body  knows  that  in  warm  and 
damp  weather,  or  during  a  ft-orm,  meat 
becomes  corrupted  in  the  butchers*  {hops,  in 
Iiirders,  and  even  in  the  drtefl  places;  that  i| 
it  contracts  a  fetid  and  cnTguflJng  finell,  j 
which  it  retains  after  it  has  been  boiled,  and  j 
that  the  broth  or  foup  made  c.f  it  is  equally  j  j 
drfagreable.  This  fmell  I  confidered  as  the  I] 
effects  of  gaz,  which  expands  as  foon  as  a  j 
putrid  fermentation  begins:  and  I  thence  j 
concluded,  that  if  the  gazeous  particles  could  j 
be  extracted  from  the  meat  or  broth,  no-  . 
thing  of  that  naufecus  fmeii  w«  raid  he  per-  J 
ccived.  I  therefore  endeavoured  to  find  ■ 
an  abferbent  capable  of  producing  that  ef-  j 
feci.  I 

After   different    attempts,    I     at    length    j 
thought  that  by  throwing  into  the 
or  kettle  in  which  the  meat  was  boning,    a 
burning  coal,  it  v.  he-  ■ 

caufj  the  fiery  particles  ifiuing  with    impe*   ! 
tucfuy  from  the  coal,  while  the  water   can-   \ 
not  penetrate  into  it,  the   pores  cf  the   coal   j 
remaining  open  i  the  fubtle   gaz,  which  has 
a  great  affinity  to 

might  infinuate   itftlf  into   it,  and  remain 
.  fixed,   by  difengaging  itjeii  front 
and   fen th,  which    are    impregnated

with  it.  1  therefore  made  tiie  experiment, 
which  fucceeded  according  to  my  wifh.  E- 
very  time  I  had  an  oiiportunity^  I  made  a 
trial  of  my  dicovery  ;  and  others,  to  whom 
I  communicated  it,  found  it  to  anfwer  equal- 
ly well  The,  manner  of  proceeding  in  this 
operation  is  as  follows  : 

Firlr,  put  the  meat  intended  for  making 
fouij  into  a  faucepan  full  of  water  ;  fcum  it 
-when  it  bolls  ;  and  then  throw  into  the 
faucepan  a  burning  coal,  very  compaci  and 
..eflitute  of  fmoke.  Leave  it  there  for  two 
minutes,  and  it  will  have  contracted  ail  the 
mull  of  the  meat  and  the  fcup. 

Secondly,  if  you  wifh  to  roaft.  a  piece  of 
meat  en  theipit,  you  nhifi:  put  it  into  water 
til;  it  boils,  and  after  having  fcun*r$ei 
throw  a  burning  ccai  into  rh ?  boilinj 
as  before.  At  the  end  of  tw®  minutas.  taj 
out  the  meat,  and  having  wiped  it  }tfeli  in 
order  to  dry  it,  put  it  upon  the  fp:t. 

Thirdly,  when  frefh  butter  hasflpot  been 
falted  in  proper  time,  or  when  fait  butter 
has  become  rancid  or  mufty,  after  melting 
and  humming  it,  dip  in  it  a  cruft  of  bread 
well  tcafted  on  boih  fides;  and  at- the  end 
of  a  minute  or  two,  the  butter  will  lofe  its 
difagreeable  odour,  but  the  bread  will  he- 
found  fetid. 

"We  read  in  a  letter  from  Mr.  Ciell,  to 
Mr.  ce  la  Metherie.  that  Mr.  Lowitz  has 
continued  his    expetiments   on   the   quality

which  coal  has  of  attracting  the  phlogifton 
of  other  bodies.  Among  fevers.!  other  An- 
gular fadts,  he  has  difcovered  that  very  pu- 
trid meat  immediately  Iofes  its  fetid  iraeil 
when  pounded  with  coal  diva,  and  that  it 
acquires  the  pure  odour  of  volatile  alkali. 
The  latter,  however,  is  not  an  analeptic  ; 
but  it  deprives  fkfn  of  its  putrid  air,  and 
difeKgages  the  volatile  alkali.  This  experi- 
ment fuggefted  to  him  the  idea,  that  the  in- 
fupportable  fmell  of  necefiaries  might  be 
corrected  by  the  fame  means.  If  we  judge 
from  the  above  experiments,  it  would  be, 
perhaps,  fufficient  to  throw  into  them  a  lit— 
tte  coal  dull. 

An  excellent  and  mojl  approved  Method 
of  making  Cyder. 

THE  apples,  when  ripe,  are  gathered 
and  thrown  into  a  large  heap,  where 
they  lie  as  long  as  the  feafon  will  permit, 
being  covered,  to  .prevent  any  injury  from 
the  foil.  The  later  the  cyder  is.made,  the 
better,  as  the  juices  are  more  perfectly  ripen- 
ed, and  there  is  lefs  danger  to  apprehend 
from  fermentation.  Great  care  is  taken 
to  feparate  the  fruit  any  wife  rotter,  from 
the  reft.  The  apples  are  ground  very  clofe, 
^o  that  the  feeds  are  all  broken  ;  this  gives

Till,  fteep'd  in  forrow,  and  befieg'd  with  pain, 
Too  late  I  found  all  earthly  riches  vain. 
Difeafe  with  fcorn  threw  back  the  fordid  fee: 
And  death  Hill  anfwer'd — what  is  gold  to  me  ? 
Fame,  titles,  honours,  next  I  vainly  fought; 
And  fools,  obfequioiio,  nurs'd  the  childiili  thought: 
Circled  with  brib'd  applaufe  and  purchas'd  praife, 
I  built  on  cndlefs  grandeur  endlefs  days :

-    Thoughts  on  rnj/tfig  Indian  Corn. 

AS  the  raifing  of  Indian  corn  is  no  fmall 
part  of  the  profit  of  the  farmer.  2nd  as 
the  corn   35   pften  Hurt   with   early  froft,    I    j 
would   remind    thofe   who    wifh   to   fecure   j  i 
their  crop,  that  it  is  neceffary  to   take    the   \\ 
firft  ripe  ears  for  feed,   which  may  be  eafiijr  \ 
done,  by  obilrving  your  field,  when  it    fii 
begins  to  ripen  ;  yon  will  then  fee  here  and   \ 
there  an  ear,  ail  over  the  field,  tinned  white,    ' 
which  ears  fhouid  he  plucked  off.  hung   up, 
and  thorough!}'  dried.      If  it  ; 
few  days,  or   :f  there   comes   a  fmall  fro  ft  j 
they  cannot  be  known  from  the  reft"  of  the 
corn.      I  this  method,   ye 

will  be  ten  days  or  a  forrnigbfc  earlier  in  the 
feafon,  and  io  eh::  .  the  early  profta.    From; 
my  own  experience,  I  believe  that  hy  pr«    - 
tifing  the   above   method,    there    would

AN  old  American  Indian  being  at  an 
inn  in  New-York,  met  with  a  gentle-

rather  lively,  boafted  he  could  read  and 
write  Engliih.  'J 'he  gentleman,  wiilifig  to  I

iM.t  death  awoke  me  from  my  dream  of  pride  ; 
And  laid  a  prouder  beggar  by  my  fide. 

Heafure  I  courted  ;  and  obey'd  my  tafte  ; 
The  banquet  fmil'd,  and  fmil'd  the  gay  repafl:  : 
A  loathiome  carcafe  was  my  conflant  care  ; 
And  worlds  were  ranfack'd  but  fot  me  to  (hare. 
Go  on.  vain  man,  in  luxury  be  firm  ; 
Yet  know —  1  fcafted,  but  to  feaft  a  worm  !

The  council  took  him  home  again, 

And  blefl  the  tawny-colour'd  boy.
