The best quality of mucilage in the
market is SAID 10 DC made by dissolving
clear glue in equal volumes of water and
strong vinegar, and adding one-fourth of
an equal volume of alcohol and small
quantity of solution of alum in water.
The action of the vinegar is due to the
acetic acid which it contains. This pre-
vents the gelatinizing by cooling; but the
same results may be accomplished by
adding a small quantity of nitric acid.
Some OF the preparations offered for sale
are mere boiled starch, or flour, with
nitric acid to prevent gelatinizing. These
preparations are very inferior in quality
to that made from glue.-Chicago Inter

A Sad Death.

1t will be remembered that some four
weeks ago Mr.. 5. p. Bennett. book
keeper for StrattOn & Bird, left this city
accompanied by his wife and little son,
Harvey. tor a visit to the centennial. A
few days ago Mr.. Bennett and his family
left Philadelphia to return to their home
in Cairo. Mr.. Stratton last night received
telegram from Mr.. Bennett, stating that
little Harvey had been killed on Wednes-
day night, and requesting Mr.. Stratton
to have a conveyance at the depot this
morning, to convey him Mr..
Bennett) to his home, as
he could not walk. How the unfortunate
little boy came by bis death was not
stated in the telegram, but we are told 1t
was by an accident on the train, by which
Mr.. Bennett was also wounded. This
sad news will be read with sorrow by tbs
entire community.
