MAKING sAuRR KRAur.-The best we
ever ate we made ourselves for many
years, aud for a considerable time with
our own hands, and always from Savoy

How TO MAKE Doors WArRRpRoop.-A
good composition for rendering boots proof
against snow and wet, can be made OF one
part mutton talow and two parts bees
wax, melted together. It should be ap.
piled to the leather at night, and then
wipe of the boots with bit of colorcd
flannel the next morning. OF course it
will be more difficult to make boots thus
treated take a good polish, but after few
times they will be as susceptible Of bril-
liant polish as ever. Half an ounce OF
pitch, dissolved in half a
pint OF drying oil, and mixed with half
an ounceot turpentine, will not only make
leather resist wet and damp, but will also
render It more durable, pliable and softer.
Warm the boots a little over the stove, and
then apply the mixture with a soft brush |
or swa6: Let them dry thoroughly, then
paint them over again. Put them in
warm, dry place for twenty.fOur hours,
and you will have pair OF perfectly water
proof boots. Still another waterproof com.
position can be made by dissolving an
ounce OF powdered roSin in a quarter OF
pint Of linseed oil, over the stove, put it ia
! tin basin, and place that in pan Of boil.

into 1t two ounces Of mutton tallow, and
apply while hot to the boots, letting It dry
