CARPENTERS and painters have fire.
quent occasion to fill nail-holes and
other defects in the woodwork of
houses. Putty is the substance relied
upon to do this work, but there are OBJ
jections to its use. The Scientific
american recommends O substitute.
The following method of filling old
nail-holes in wood is not only simple
but is said to be effectual. Take fine
sawdust and mix into thick paste
with glue, pound it into the hole, and
when dry it will max the wood as good
as new. One correspondent says he
has followed this for thirty years with
unvarying success in repairing bellows,
which is the most severe test known.
Often by frequent attachment of new
leather to old bellows frames the wood
becomes so perforated that there is no
space to drive the nails, and even if
there was the remaining holes would
allow the air to escape. A treatment
with glue and sawdust paste invariably
does the work, while lead, putty and
other remedies always fail.

ANY experime Mt made to ascertain
how long man can exist without food
endangers the health. The human
machine can consume itself when it gets
no fresh fuel, and this process may last
until there is nothing left to consume.
Death then ensues, due either to ex-
haustion or loss of heat. A fat pig was
buried in its sty for one hundred and
sixty days under chalk cliff. It.
weight was reduced from one hundred
and sixty pounds to forty pounds. In
1881 q murderer at Toulouse committed
suicide by abstaining from food fol
sixty-three days. A few years ago a
lady determined to eat nothing; she
died on the fiftieth day. A French
doctor who made experiments on ami
mails found that sudden death was not
uncommon long before the normal time.
This occurred from "syncope.
