T Where screws are driven into soft
wood, and subjected to considerable
strain, they are very likley to work
loose and it is often difficult 0 make
them hold. In such cases the use of
glue is profitable. Prepare the glue
thick; immerse stick about half the
size of the screw, and put it into the
hole; then immerse the screw, and
drive it home as quickly as possible.
When there is an article of furniture to
be mended, and NO glue is to be had
handily, insert the stick, fill the rest Of
the cavity with pulverzed resin, then
heat the screw sufficient to melt the
resin as it is driven in.
Chairs, tables. lounges, etc., are con-
tinually getting out of order in every
house; and the proper time to repair
them is when first noticed. If neglected
the matter grows still worse. and finally
results in laying by the article of fur
niture as worthless. Where screws are
driven into wood for temporary pur-
poses, they can be removed much easier
by dipping them in oil before inserting.
When buying screws, notice what you
are buying, for there are poor as vel
as good kinds. See that the heads are
sound and we'll cut; that there are no
flaws in the body or thread part, and
that they have gimlet-points. A screw
of good make will drive into oak as ca
silly as others into pine. and will en-
dure havirg twice the fo-ce brought
against it.-Cdbinet-mdker

The last number of La France Medi-
Gale contains paper on the best means
of correcting the bitter in medicines.
The value Of sugar as agent is generally
conceded. On the other hand, the IN
fusion Of gentian is extremely disagree
able, while the syrup may be readily to-
Ken, provided the action of the sugar is
not enfeebled by the addition of water
Tho one known substance which in the
highest degree passes the property OF
muff1ing bitter is glycyrrhizine, the
sweet principle of the licorice root. II,
after taking quinine, colocynth, aloes,
quassia, or other bitter medicine,
piece of licorice loot be taken, the bitter
taste will disappear as if by magic.
