"A very convenient mucilage can be
m "a If int h., L.
wishes to use it. A rood-sized Spanish
onion, after being boiled short time,
will yield, on being pressed, quite a
large quantity of very adhesive fluid.
This is used quite extensively in various
trades for pastinS paper onto tin or
zinc, or even glass, and the tenacity
with which it holds would surprise any
one on making the first attempt 1t is
the cheapest and best mucilage for such
purposes and answers just as well as
many of the more costly and patent
