almost literally correct. Since the overthrow Oh bniisu

were prohibited from making either axes or hoonais.
Now there is scarcely any tool which they do not make,

1t was stated in the House Of Commons by Mr.. Vicksr,
ofhe great Sheffield house Of Mayor Nicholson vickes
& Co., whose manufactured steel is known eli over this
country, that the Americans have got the trade Of
making telling axes, which is large one, employing
ga great deal Of labor. We send more steel 10 make
telling axes alone than make for all the email tools
Gin England. II is for plain article the most me.

"tees to one compared with those that are ordnaz ~

ity. The too-making American has produced thrssma-
Chimes tools in reality, for telling trees more quickly
than by the Ak The records of our Patent 0fce Afford
| evidence of continual effort to produce new md
better tools. During a single week in January So
patents were issued, 26 Of which may be oousidered
as for tools intended to facilitate variety Of operations
heretofore performed by others Of less efficient
character. II is this unidentified struggle after per-
| lection that has given 10 American mechanics and
machine.makers so decieed preeminence throughout
the world. The conquest having been secarsdin thc
departments the struggle has been extes4sAso

already monopolzed TIE supply Of the world with
pins and is now beginning the manufacture Of vsches

character. BY similar agencies she astonishsd Al
Europe at the perfection and cheapness OF her Clocks
and she is destined to work great revolution with
her watches.
LIQUID GLuE-Ths Is one Of the most convenient
sppendages of domestic life which modern ingenuity
has devised. Every careful houseLeeper will prize 10
convenient assistant in cobbing up abroksn chair,
in replacing bit Of loose veneeng on the furniture.
Indeed for all purposes where il win ot como In con-
tact with water this glue may be used with safety But
few of the many who would like to have know how 10
make it. To prepare it, tske glue Of good quality and
dissolve il in small quantity Of hot WISER - p0ss-
BILE; then, while yet hot, remove it from the hfs end
dilute it to the proper degree Of thnness By sdAine
alcohol after which it should be bottled and the mouth
of the bottle kept covered with piece Of Inds ubbers
or anything else that will exclude the air. Alcohol
will preserve glue made in this way for many years,
keeping II from putrefaction in Summer and from fsez-
ing in Winter In cold weather it requires only little
warming to make il ready for use. This cenvsniene
article has been in in England for many yssp, euo
has never been extensively known in this country.
