varnish for sools ana sha.a

For few years past, I have used
kind Of leather varnish for exclu-
ding moisture from boots and shoes,
which lsa very valuable article for
preserving leather and for excluding
moisture. The way to make it: Pro
cure quart bottle or jug, and put in
1t half pound of gum shellac, which
may be obtained at the drug store.--
The shellac should be broken up ine
Now pour in good alcohol to cover II,
and place it on a shoIfin warm place,
and cork the bottle tight, or the alco-
hol will soon evaporate. Shake it
well severaltimes daily. To this add
q piece of gum camphor about az large
as hens egg. and then add about
one ounce OF good lamp black, and
shake it well. IF the alcohol is good
the sheliac viii be dissolved in about
three days, when it will be ready for
use.
Let the bottle be well shaken before
using any Of il. Should it ever appear
to be too thick, add moro alcohol;
and if too thin add shellac.
l grease my boots and shoes lightly
when they appear TO need it, and then
give them good coat Of varnish.--
Pour out two or three spoonfuls into
a little dish, and with q small paint
brush varnish the boot. If tits good
it viii dry in six minutes, and viii
literally wear of before it can DO
removed; and it will form a gloss oil.
most equal to patent leather.
The great excellence OF it is, it docs
not strike into tho leather, so as to
render it hard ana brittle. but remains
on the surface, and excludes the water
most cfectually.
Besides using this varnish for boots
for several years past, with good
l have used it for var
nishing harness, after they had been
oiled, for which purpose l always
found it a choice article, as it woald
keep harness in good condition for
4 long period Of tiIne.-[Colrespond!

In preparing this mixture some are
troubled to obtain whale oil soap.-
Many do not know what il is. Every
drug store in the country Of much

soap Is the result or deposit, from
mixing potash lye or soda-ash with

for the discoloration and impurities
ofthe oil and the precipitate from
this combination constitutes whale oil
