Substances for Making Ink

Common writing ink is the pertannate of
iron, mixed with little gallate, held in sus-
pension in water by means of gum or some
other adhering substance. The gum also
preserves the ink from being too fluid, and
also serves to protect the vegetable matter
from decomposition. Blue ink has of late
years been much in demand. The coloring
matter is said to be sulphate of indigo and
tincture of iron or according to another
recipe. Prusslan dissolved in water by
means of oxalic acid. Red ink is usually
made by boll4ng two ounces of Brazil wood
in pint of water for about quarter of an
hour, and adding a little gum and water.
This ink is not in demand now, carmine hav-
ing superseded it; this color is obtained from
a solution of carmine and ammonia, also
adding gum.
The great merit of our common writing ink
is in the freedom with which it flows from
the pen, allowing of rapid writing, and the
manner in which it bites into the paper, so
as not to be removed by sponging. The great
defect is in the want of durability Such
inks partake of the nature of dyes. The
writing ink of the ancients, on the contrary.
is characterized by great permanency; it's
basis was finely divided charcoal mixed with
some mucilaginous or adhesive fluid Indian
ink is of this character; it is formed of lamp
black and animal glue, with the addition Of
perfumes, not necessary, however, to use as
an ink, and is made up into cakes. It is used
in China with brush, both for writing and
painting ON Chinese paper, and it is used in
this country for making drawings in black
and white, the different depths of shade
being produced by varying the dilution with
water.-Paper World.

The London Punch.

Punch, the celebrated London comic jour
nal, is indebted to Douglas Jerrold, the wit,
for its title There was in London in 1s41 q
club known as the "Rationals" (afterward as
the tOwls'0, which numbered the most fam
GUS painters and litterateurs Of the day among
its numbers. The insignia Of this club was q
fools cap, and each member wore such q
head covering during conclave. The club
had for its object sociability and mutual
good fellowship. The idea of comic paper
was broached, and the title, The Pen and the
Palette, was suggested. Mark Lemon and
Leman Rede were both members of the club,
and sat one evening with the others over
glass Of hot water, whisky and sugar. The
subject Of the comic journal was again
brought up. Jerrold suggested that as they
already had two demons" and also the other
necessary ingredients for good glass Of
punch, that It would be q waste Of time to
look further and fare worst The title of
Punch was unanimously agreed upon.

Fish Refuse as Fodder.

1t appears that in Norway and Sweden the
refuse of the fish curing establishments is
largely used by farmers as a fodder for their
cattle. On the Norwegian coast dried heads
of Goldfish are SO used. the practice being to
boil down the heads into a kind of soup,
which was then mixed with straw, chaff or
other rough fodder. A very acceptable and
nutritious food was produced in that way,
and on account Of the great abundance Of
this refuse material the Norwegian peasantry
are able to bring their cattle easily through
the long winter in good condition, to increase
the number Of their stock, and to correspond
ingly increase the fertility of their land.
This practice is varied in other districts.

Gated fish, being used This is rich in al

Benefits of "Hair sineeinc."

A wrinkle in hair dressing not generally
known is chair singeing." In barber shop
on Center street, close to the City hall
bridge, is sign, prominently displayed an
nouncing that hair singeing is done there for
twenty five cents. A reporter dropped into
chair in the shop this morning and found it
no difficult matter to engage the tonsorial
artist in conversation.
"Hair singeing?" he said. "Why that's not
new scheme; it's quite old, but is not gener-
ally practiced."
"But of what benefit is ftg' gasped the re-
porter, struggling with great ball of lather
that was thoughtlessly dropped on his mouth
by the barber.
"Benetit?" Why, it makes weak hair grow
strong and thick, and ultimately makes the
scalp healthy"
"What is the nlethod?"
81 take wax taper, light it and grasp a
tuft of hair with the fingers of my left hand.
Then l carefully apply the wax dip to the
ends of the hair and burn them. In this
manner touch up all the hair. Having con-
cluded my labors, l then comb the locks care
fully and give the patient good shampoo
After that no one would recognize the work
l had done. Most of my patrons have their
hair singed every two weeks, but the differ
ence depends altogether on the strength Of
the persons hair. Today had five men in
my chair, and all had their hair singed. One
of them was priest. He comes here regu
larly and enjoys the operation. The capillary
substance on his head was weakening, and he
had morbid horror of becoming bald. He

when he died, with his historic war horse
walking in the funeral procession behind
him, and it was here, too, that Harrison's
body was carried. I am told that the remains
of one senator lay in this vault unclaimed for
years, and they were finally removed and
buried at the cost of the officials of the Gem
etery.
Two commanders-in-chief of the United
States army are buried here, and the monu-
ment of Gen. Alexander Macomb, one of the
heroes of the war of 1912, is one of the finest
in the cemetery; near it is the grave of a
Choctaw Indian chief, who died here in 1924
and who proclaimed himself the friend Of the

Within the shadow Of this monument liss
the grave Of Vice President Clinton. It has
also marble shaft over it, and this shaft
states that it was erected by Clinton's chill
dren. Clinton was governor of New York
for eighteen years, and he presided over the
senate for eight years. He began his life as
sailor, studied law, and was brigadier
general in the army under Washington. His
tombstone is shaft of white marble, with
an iron lantern above it, which is, suppose,
intended to convey the idea Of the perpetual
burning of incense. The monument is a very
fine one, and the inscription upon its face,
that Clinton was soldier and statesmen of
the Revolution, eminent in council and dis
tinguished in war. He filled with unexam-
pied usefulness, purity and ability many of
the high offices Of the country While he
lived his virtue, purity and valor were the
pride, the ornament and security of his
country, and when he died he left an illus
trious example of well spent life worthy of
all imitation
Jonathan Cilley, one Of the heroes Of
the -Cilley duel, who fell on the
Bladensburg dueling ground, is buried
here, and near by is a tombstone defaced by
one of the letters of the name of the dead
beneath being cut from it. Connected with
1t is reminiscence of the bitter feeling at
the time of the war. The inscription was
originally Benjamin Lincoln Lear, congress
man. Some vandal cut Lincoln's name from
the tombstone in 1862, and the desecration
created some excitement at the time. The
perpetrator, however, was never discovered.
There is receiving vault in this cemetery
which belongs to congress, and in it have

bones of two vice presidents, and monuments
to hundred odd congressman have here been
erected. This cemetery was laid out in 1907,
and an act of congress was passed providing
that every senator or representative who
died in Washington should have memorial

shape, they look like beehives with big sugar
loaf caps placed on the top of them. They
are five feet high, and an uglier set Of grave

John Quincy Adams. Though not college
bred, he was given the title Of LII D. by
Harvard college, and he was one of the schoi-
ars of our early days.
Tobias Lear, the Dan Lamont of George
Washington's day, rests not far off from this
tomb of Writ Lear had not as much influ-
ence with Washington as Lamont has with
Cleveland, but he was his confidential private
secretary and was quite q figure in the days
Of 1850. He and Washington took walks
every afternoon While they were in Philadel-
phia, and the records say that they acted as
though they were on dress parade They
strutted up and down the shady sides of the
street, did not carry on any conversation to-
gether during their walk, and seemed to
breathe the air because they felt it thei. duty
to do So Lear was with Washington during
the whole OF his presidency. He went with
him to Mount Vernon when he retired, and
be was, think, at his bedside when he died,
Washington remembered him in his will,
and after Washington's death he obtained a
number of fat offices from the government
and died here in the government employ.
Two vice presidents rest in this cemetery.

graves They were two of our greatest vice
presidents and both had remarkable histories,
yet how few remember them and how few
know that they lie here. Elbridge Gerry
was inaugurated vice president in 1918, and
he was at that time one of the greatest states
men in the country. A graduate Of Harvard
college, he had been minister to France,
member of congress and governor of Massa-
chusetts. He had helped make the constitu-
tion of the United States and he had signed
the Declaration of Independence. He had
been member of the continental congress

escaped capture by the British during this
time by hiding in corn field while the
