what travelling tinker told me. We
have proved BY experience tnat ne toio
the truth, and We nnd It Q great con-
venience 70 follow bis instrucoons: iou
use . soldering nuid, and this Is tne
way to make IL: Buy from the druxEist
IN ounce or other convenient quanuty
OF mur1adc acid. handle IL careiuly.
Tor II Is powerful SUM- ana eats
everything With which It comes In con-
tact. Turn 1t into an OLD teacup OF
Dowl, ana put INTO IL = lew scraps oI
parings OF zinc, suco as you can 8es
from . timer. NO matter now mucn
you put In, as the acid VIII only take
c+rtain amount ana the rest WIZ TO
main In the bottom: Don't turn u oack
into the bottle until II has ceased 70 ei-
bottle and provide q small stick of wood
to apply It with. After the acid has
dissolved the zinc It Is much less corro-
eive. The muriatic acid will probably
cost bus . few cents, the zinc will
probably cost nothing, and bit Of soft
solder only tribe.
50 now you are set up with tinkering
material to last . long time-and this is
the way I use 1t: Suppose the article
to be mended is tin pan with hole In
the bottom. Turn 1t bottom upwald d
and scrspe around the edge Of the hole
until the tin u a. bright and clean a
you can make ir. Then wet ir with the
soldering duid, lay little lump OF
solder over the hole (not too lxrge), and
hold it over the blaze of = lighted
candle, which burns on the innerside
Of the pan. The solder will b, melted
down fiat and fixed fast to the pan, and
the job IL done. The tinker said he
added little sal ammonia TO his solder
Ing huid 30 as 70 make Ii mend iron,
copper AID steel, but 1t is not needed
for tinware. Remember the muriatic
acid Ia very corrosive, and great caution
must be used not TO get 1t upon clothing
or other material that may be injured.
INFECTIOUS DISEASES OF CHiLDHooD.-
