Az AUcTIoNEER CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP.
Smith the Auctioneer, is a popular man, a
wit and gentlemen. No person is offended at
what he says, and many a hearty laugh has he
provoked by his humorous sayings. He was
recently engaged in the sale Of venerable house
hold furniture and 'fxins." He had just got
to, "going, going, and a half, half, goingw
when he saw a smiling countenance, upon agri-
cultural shoulder wink at him. A wink is as
good as a nod to blind horse, or to keen
sighted auctioreer, so Smith winked and the
man winked, and they kept winking, and Smith
kept "going, going going, with lot of glass
ware, stovepipes, carpets, pots and perfumery,
and finally the lot was knocked down
"To-a who?" said Smith, gazing at the smi-
ling stranger.
Who? Gooddee!" said the stranger,'I dunno
who.
"Why, you, sir" said Smith.
"Who, me?'
ayes, yes, you bid on the lot" said Smith.
"Me? darned if | did" insisted the stranger.
"Why, did not you wink and keep winking?
fWinking! Well did-so did you wink at
me. thought you were winking as much as
to say keep dark, I'll stick somebody in that
lot of stuff; and winked as much as to say-Ill
be darned if you don't, mister!"

To MAKE DRYING OIL.-Take any quantity
of linseed oil and put it in a clean iron pot, and
hang it over a slow fire, and when it attains to
good heat add litharge and white vitriol (sul-
plate Of zinc) in very small quantities, until the
whole is added, when it should be boiled slowly
for two or three hours. Twelve parts Of lither-
age to three of the sulphate CT zinc, are en-
ployed, and two ounces of this mixture to one
pint of oil, does very well. If these drying ma
terisls were added hastily to the oil, it would
fume over on the fire. Care must be exercised
to prevent such an accident. After the mixture
is boiled for two or three hours, the oil is taken
off, and suffered to cool, when sediment falls
to the bottom, and the clear is poured off as
drying oil. The sediment when mixed with
whiting or ground chalk, and dry sand, makes
capital cement for filling in seams in the roofs
of buildings, or any crack to render the same
impervious to water. 1t becomes as hard as
stone in the course of few weeks, and is espe-
cially adapted for the joints of stones in expos
ed situations. We have been enquired of by
three or four correspondents lately respecting
the above drying oil; we have only to add that
if an ounce of resin be added to every pint of
oil when boiling, it will improve the quality of
the oil in no small degree.-Sc5entSffc Americ'n

MILK FOR LUBRICATING WooL-Before wool
can be carded, spun, and woven, it iswell greas-
ed with a suitable unctuous substance. Vari-
Gus matters have been employed as a substitute
for oil, because the item for such an expense in
a year in any large factory, is very large. A
few years ago, a patent was taken out for the
employment of steam as substitute for it, but
we believe, it has not answered the purpose
By late English paper we learn that the price
of oil, the substance used for wool in the manu-
featuring districts, had risen so high $500 per
ton THAT many experiments were made to get
suitable substitute, and that sweet milk was
discovered to answer every purpose, when mixed
along with small quantity Of olive oil; it is e.
ven asserted that it answers better than olive
oil alone. Practice is the only way to test the
value of any such discovery; we know that pure
olive oil and soda, dissolved in water, makes a
composition which looks, tastes, and smells very
like sweet milk. 1t is extensively used in dye
ing and softening colored goods and for dress
ing black silk. The milk cannot be such a
good substance as olive oil-in our opinion
for treating WOOL but its greater cheapness will
enable manufacturers to use it in greater guam
