Castor ON Dressing for boots.
New York Independent

new foth Audept4acht
Common castor oil, cold-drawn, renders
shoe leather soft aud impervious to water
Boots and shoes dressed with it should be
worn during the winter season, only in wet
weather, or over marshy ground, as the oil
renders them cold to the feet. The boots
and shoes to be thus treated should be per-
feetly elem and dry, the oil put on hot,
and gradually rubbed in with the hands
until an overfowing large spoonful has been
rabbed into each boot, Pour the oil all
around the welt that the space between the
soles and upper feathers and the stitches
be saturated with it. The oil is to be
rubbed in alike on both soles and upper
feathers including also the tongues in shoes.
The gelatinous property of the oil fills the
pores of the leather, the soles become soft
and pliable conducting not only to the
comfort of the wearer, but greatly increas-
ing the durability Of the boots. | repeat,
if the uppers and soles of common leather
boots when new be soaked in boiling hot
oil, it will prove not only source of un-
told comfort to the wearer of them; but of
economy peenniarily; boot soft and plant,
that gives to the foot, will twice outlast a
stiff unyielding one. The oil may be used
whenever necessary for wet weather,
smaller quantity being required after the
first application; in a short time the leather
will be susceptible of good polish from
good quality of shoe-blacking; or with
sponge may be brushed over with a thin
coat of gum sragacanth soaked in water,
plan pursued by tanners as the finishing
touch to dressed leather Sportsmen will
find the castor-oil an admirable dressing for
ordinary leather bootsin hunting. Several
applications of it may be required before
the pores are thoroughly filed and the
boots perfectly soft. Crude petroleum
mixed with little melted tallow answers
the same purpose.

These sheets are 1920 of an inch in thick

used on furniture are somewhat thicker,
the thinner ones being used on picture

The Last of the Greenbackers,

There was an element of the path

was once a time and that within the
easy recollection of persons who
have not vet passed the age of TWEEN
ty y-hve, when Greenbackism was a
potent force in American politics.
For half dozen or moro wears, be-
ginning with 1873 or 1874, the
Greenbacksrs held the balance OF
power In many Western States, and
IN some of the States during part OF
that period they were virtually In
control of affairs. Men who had
previously and who have subsequent

were or are extreme and pronounced
