Good Glue and Mucilaee.

The best quality of n uciIage in
the market is made Ey dissolving
clear glue in equal volumes of
water and strong vinegar, and
adding one-fourth of an equal vol.
mme of alcohol, and small guam.
tity of solution Of alum in water
The action OF the vinegar is
due TO the acetic acid Which it con.
tains. This prevents the glue
from gelatinizing by cooling; but
the same result may be accom-.
plished by adding a small guam
tity Of nitric acid. Some of the
preparations offered tor sale are
merely boiled starch or flour
mixed with nitric acid to prevent
theirgelatilizinS. Gum-trqgacantE

hair-dressing, FIR the purpose of
stilfening the hair. A prepare

Of gum-'ragacanth. Gum arabic
dissolved in water will not gela.
tinize from the influence of cold
alone, but in order to prevent its
decomposition or fermentation,
acetic acid and alcohol are added
The high price Of This gum pre-.
vents its being extensively used
In the preparation of mucilage;
IN fact, this article seldom con
tains any gum-arabic whatever
All these preparations, including
the renowned Spaulding's compo'
kition, are far inferior in their
sticking properties to the ordinary
solution of gluein hot water, uni.
versally used by cabinet-makers
and carpenters.
This preparation is not quite SO
convenient for general use, as il
must be applied hot, and the ar
ticle glued must be tied or pressed
together for some time; but the
satisfaction of doing a better job
ought to more than repay the ex-
ira trou6le.-Manuydcturer and

a period of three hours, during
which it was made to acquire
the taste and color of butter

it much superior to any other

PEACH LEAF YEAST. Take three
handluls of peach leaves, and three
medium sized potatoes +; boil them
in two quarts of water until the
potatoes are done; then take out
the leaves and throw them away
peel the potatoes, and rub them
up with 4 pint of flour, adding
cool water sufficient to make a
paste. Then pour on the hot
peach leaf tea, and Scald for about
five minutes. If you add to this
little old yeast, it will be ready
for use in three hours; if you add
none it will require to stand day
and night before use. Leaves
dried in the shade are as good as
fresh ones. As this is stronger
than hop-yeast, less should be used
in making up dough. Cor. N O.

The easiest and simplest RENE
dy for chapped hands is found in
every store-room. Take common
starch and grind with a knife un-
ill it is reduced to the smoothest
powder. Take a clean box and
ill it with starch thus prepared,
so as to have it continually Mt hand
for use. Every time that the
hands are taken from the suds or
dish water, rinse them thoroughly
in clean water, wipe them, and
while they are yet damp rub a
piece of starch thoroughly over
them, covering the whole surface
The effect is magical. The rough.
smarting skin is cooled, smootbed
and healed, bringing and insuring
the greatest degree of comfort and
freedom from this by no means in
significant trial.

BREATHING THROUGH THE Nos.
TRILs.-We are no believers in
"fussing" about our health, vet
there are some simple rules which
we may, with much advantage,
convert into habits. One Of them
is this: when breathing air that
is dusty, or i'll smelling, or other,
wise impure, draw the breath
slowly through the nostrils. In this
way the dust or other impurities
are in part arrested in the moist
and narrow nasal passages, and
are prevented from being thrown
upon the lungs. When we breathe
through the mouth, they are car.
ried more directly thithcr. Many
would lengthen their lives by reso.
lutely breathing through the nos
trils.-HedIth and Home.

How Rock Candy is Made.

Candy! All candy is nothing
but sugar-only it is done differ
emily. just The same as all print
ing is only types, but they set them
up liz different ways. Well, let
us begin at the beginning. Lot
us start with sugar, loaf or lump
sugar, good white sugar of any
sort. How are we to make this
sugar into candy, into the many
candies we see from lozengee,
drops, stick-candy, and ali kinds,
to rock candy, SO unlike all the
rest? They are all sugar, but how
very different3 We must start
somewhere. Let us take a tea,
cup half full of boiling water and
drop lump of sugar into it, 1t
dissolves. Put in another lump,
and another; they dissolve. The
sugar disappears, and the wafer
becomes thick. We are making a
syrup. We are getting sugar in a
liquid state. What was hard and
white now has become liquid and
transparent-a great change truly,
Now keep on adding sugar as long
as the water will dissolve any,
when no more will be dissolved
put the cup aside, in a warm place,
near the stove. Hang thread in
the liquid, and look at it every
day. In day or two, or more,
can't tell you how soon, as that
will depend upon the relative a
mount of sugar and water, you
will find little bits of clear sugar
sticking to the thread. Let them
alone for several days, still keep.
ing the cup in a warm place, and
you will find the bits of sugar be-
coming larger and of more regular
shape. Why. it is rock candy
Exactly SO. This is the way in
which rock candy is made. just
as much sugar as it will dissolve is
put in water, usually in a tub, and
threads are hung in the syrup,
and the whole put in a warm place
Gradually the sugar leaves the wa
ter and gathers upon the threads.
Not in shapeless mass, but all
in beautiful crystals, more nicely
formed than you could possibly
make them, and as clear and trans
parent almost asglass. This, then,
is the way in which rock candy is
made. Sugar after it has been
dissolved in water, is allowed to
deposit itself slowly and quietly.
The regular forms it takes are
called crystals, and are always Of
the same shape, whether large or
small, and are formed with as much
care and beauty as if they were
diamonds or other precious stones.
You will ask why they form upon
strings. Crystals always form up.
Oh rough surface sooner than up
on smooth ones. / cannot tell
you why, any more than l can
tell you why boys and girls like
candy.

Deaths.

Died, December End, at the residence of her
father in Bath county, Miss VERONA G. SHU-
MATE, aged rs years.
In this place on the 2lst, of brain fever, WILL
LIAM RoszELLE, only son of N. j. and Rev j !.
Hoffman Waugh, in the 7th year of his age.
Sweetly fell asleep in Jesus, at half-past one
o'clock, on the 2lst instant, Mrs. ELIZA M, the
beloved wife of Capt. VIM. l.. Balths, in the
38th year of her age.
Seldom are we called to mourn one more love-
ly, gentle and affectionate. She was devoted
wife, dutiful daughter, and an affectionate sis
ter. To those who enjoyed her friendship, firm
and true friend Her hand was ever open to the
poor and needy, and none were turned empty
away. Modest and retiring to such degree, it
may be truly said of her, "those who knew her
best loved her most.''
A few weeks before her death she experienced
the power of redeeming love, and on the morn
ing of her last day on earth she said to her dis
tressed husband, Il am ready now to go to heav-
en-" and with holy calm pervading her coun-
tenance, patiently awaited her summons home.
Her afflicted family should be comforted by
the assurance that she is now in that bssful land
where she shall feel ne more pain, and where
sickness never comes.
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord
from henceforth yea, saith the spirit that they
may rest from their labors; and their works do
follow them. T. M. X.
