JcIly From Old Boots.

phatically that toothsome delicacy

Scientific American, DIR. Wander
Wyle RECALLED some friends not mere
ly on boot jelly, but with shirt coffee,
that was pronounced by all partakers
excellent. The Doctor tells US that he
made the jelly by first cleaning the
boots, and subsequently boiling it
with soda, under pressure Of about
two atmos pheres. The tannic acid
in the leather combined with salt
made tannate OF soda, and the gela.
tine rose to the top, whence it was
removed and dried. From this la t
with suitable Havoring material, tn
Jelly was readily concocted. The
shirt coffee, incidentally mentioned
above, was sweetened with cuff and
collar sugar, both coffee and sugar
being produced in the same way. The

Philadelphia as II Grain Point

The city Of Philadelphia is making
considerable exertion to build up a
grain exporting trade, and with no
mean measure of success.
Since the opening of the Girara
Elevator at Philadelphia, about four
months ago, the elevator has handled
about two million bushels of grain
Five vessels have loaded there within
the past two weeks, and seventeen
others are waiting to load, making a
total of eight hundred and forty-one
Thousand bushels for the spring move
ment thus far. On this point Phil
aielphia exchange says:
'.The foreign steamship lines are
taxed to their full capacity, and were
lhey able to offer increased facilities
by an additional feet of steamers, he
amount of grain which could be at
tracted here from the West would be
enormously increased. The sailing
tonnage trading to this port is rapidly
increasing, and vessels are becoming
assured that renumerative and desir.
able business oasiantly awaits them.

Practical Jokes.

For another source Of our daily fun
we are indebted to Shillaber. His
Mrs. Partington, however. is but an
american EDITION or Sneriuans Mrs
Malaprop. We love the old lady the
more when we hear her say, like a
good housewife, that she ge's up ev.
cry morning at the shrill carrion ol
the chandelier! But her mischievous
nephew, Ike, is purely Indigenous
His mischief is the very essence ol
Young America, without its father
Ike is vet to grow into the full stat
ure. He stands as the juvenile en-
bodiment of a peculiar vein known
among US as practical iokes-what
the boys term ''sells," and from which
springs their expression, swell, he's
sold" This is almost monomania
with some. Even such plays as Soth-
efn have not disdained to play it's
pranks. 1t is the result Of that prov
erbial shrewdness which seeks to sly
ly lead green one on, in the most
natural way in the world, until the
catastrophe is ready, when the pitfall
is opened, aud the victim drops or
rushes in with curiosity only equal
ell by the surplus fund of experience
which he receives. Barnum's book
has many examples of these "sells' y
Yankee tricks, which in the eve of
ethics are but another term for swind-
ling, are illustrations. The raciness
Of the joke hides the rasealitv OF the
job; and we applaud the successful
humorist, first because we cannot but
admire his hre wd calculations
on the simplicity of human nature,
and next because we are glad to see
our fellows learning the ways OF the
world in such an amusing way. In
trading, he is the very incarnation Of
the keenest shrewdness. He will be
sure to do business under the most
adverse circumstances, and secure a
profit also. This propensity is por-
trayed in the story Of Sam Jones; that
worthy, We are told, called at the
store Of a Mr.. Brown, with an egg in
his hand, and wanted to "dicker" it
for ning-needle. This done, he
asks Mr.. Brown if he isn't "going to
treat?" "What, on that trade ?''--
"Certainly; q trade is trade, big or
little" swell, what will you have?"
ga glass of wine," said Jones. The
wine was poured out, and Jones re-
marked that he preferred his wine
with an egg in it. The store keeper
handed to him the Identical egg which
he had just changed for the darning
needle. On breaking it, Jones dis
covered that the egg had two yolks
Says he, "Look here; you must give
me another darning-needle!"
The Dutchman was victim to q
practical joke who lost FIVE dollars tc
the Yankee on bet that the Yankee
could eat the Dutchman. Jonathan
began the work of justification at the
extremities, and was soon saluted BY
the rear and kick of the Dutchman.-
"Oh, mein Gott! Dunder and Bill,
zen! stop dat bitin'. Take your fifs
dollar. 1t hurts!''
Sometimes these jokes pay. some
times not. The Yankee skippe
whose vessel was mistaken by an
Englishman for Russian, and wh,
didn't run up his bunting until tn,
Englishman was about to broadside
him, and who gave as reason stha
hess wanted to see how spry Bul
would clear for action" came nea
paying dearly for his joke.-Harper'
Magazine.
