A Good Lacquer.


1t is often the case that one finds it
convenient to have at hand a first
class lacquer, with which to coat in
struments or other articles, to add
either to their durability or finish.
The following recipe will be found re-
liable and not specially expensive:
One pint of best rectifed alcohol, two
drachms each Of saffron and Spanish
annOtto, one ounce of ground tumeric.
Put these ingredients together and
place them where there is moderate
heat. Leave them for several days,
shaking them occasionally. When
nearly dissolved add three ounces
of the best seed lac in rough powder.
Let this stand until the lac is all dis
solved, shaking it frequently, If
the color is to be bright yellow, use
less annOtto; if a deep orange, use
more. Put the mixture on while
warm. Apply with brush as one
would use paint. The number of coats
depends entirely upon the article and
the purpose for which it is used. For
blue lacquer, add Prussian or aniline
blue to white shellac varnish made
very thin. In making lacquer, take
great care not to use too much seed
lac, as the mixture is likely to dry UNI
evenly, or in streaks.-N. Y. Ledger.

The dyspeptic carries a heavy load
on his back. 1t seems as if he were
really made up of two men. One of
them ambitious, brainy and energetic;
the other sick, listless, peeviUh and
without force. The weak man weighs
the other one down. The dyspeptic
may be able to do pretty good work
one day, and the next because of
some little indiscretion in eating, he
may be able to do nothing at all.
Most cases of dyspepsia starts with
constipation. Constipation is the
cause of nine tenths of all human
sickness. Some of its symptoms are
sick and bilious headache, dizziness,
sour stomach, loss of appetite, foul
breath, windy belchiugs, heartburn,
pain and distress after eating. All
these are indicative of arrangement
OF the liver, stomach and bowels, and
are all caused by constipation. DR..

PIueking the NettIe.

In all things, personal and social, pri-
vate and public, the firm grasping of the
nettle that must be plucked is the only
safe and rational way. We all have to en-
counter unpleasantneases in our lifetime,
and those of us who meet them most bold
ly and with least delay are the most GER
tain to escape with least damage Those
who delay and daily and try to get off this
or try to soften that are the victims fore
doomed. Their nettles, grasped, would
have been crushed and innocuous; gently
and timidly stroked, they are formidab BILE
and painful. When our sins find US out,
and we cannot deny that we have failed
here and transgressed there, of what avail
to cast back the blame and throw, now on
the woman and now on the serpent, the
initial evil of temptation? We yielded to
that temptation, and herein lies our guilt.
We have nothing to do with the causa
eausans of our own misdeeds. 1t was ours
to have resisted, and we faltered in our
duty and failed in our obligation.
1t was our nettle that we had to grasp,
and the chain of responsibility stops short
at ourselves To try to throw it farther
and farther off is to stroke that formida-
bic weed with tender hand and to get
doubly stung for our pains. In all things
courage is the best way out of difficulty.
To meet and confront the hour of retrib
ton or of accusation when we are inne-
cent of the wrong wherewith we are
charged, to grasp the nettle of difficulty,
OF misunderstanding, of malevolence, Of
repentance-this is the act of a man and
meets with mans reward The diverse
is the shame of a coward, and the coward
has his rightful portion melted out to him.
