 Mucilage is made of gum arabic. of gum lenegal, of dextrine, and of a bv- product that results in the manufacture of some chemical.
 Gum arabic has long been used for us sticking properties, but mucilage in us present form and widely extended common use is essentially a modern pro- auction, dating back only about 50 years, or to 1s45, at about which time envelopes with gummed flaps came into use. Before that time envelopes had been sealed with waters. Manu- lecturers of stationers' supplies em- ployed considerable numbers of men m making wafers, which were made and sold in many millions. The intro duction of gummed envelopes practical ly killed the wafer trade, The far. greater convenience of gummed envel- opes was at once recognized, and they very soon came into general use, and after their introduction the manufac- ture of mucilage sold In bottles was begun. Some waters are still used, a few for notarial seals, and some for sticking up bulletins, and so on, but the number now used is but trifiing compared with the enormous number used 5O-odd years ago. They have been almost totally supplanted by the now commonly used mucilage.-N. Y. Sun.

WOOLENS AND FURS.
Precautions to Preserve Them from Moths When Putting Them Away
 for the Summer.

All woolen clothes or fllrs that will not be needed in summer should be put away as early as April. It is during this month that the buffalo beetle and clothes moth begin to lay their eggs. All woolens not in regular wear, there fore, should be shaken out at this sea- son, examined and aired well and put away. The practice of keeping half worn clothing which is not in use hang ing in closets and laid about on shelves is the usual cause of the sudden appear ance of moths in the house. If there is nothing to attract these insects in the house they will not come, because there are always more congenial quar- ters for them and there always will be so long as careless housekeepers leave wooden rags and old clothes about for them to lodge in.
 Neither cedar trunks nor closets, camphor nor any of the many propri- etary articles sold is alone of certain efficacy. If the eggs of the moth are laid in the garment whatever means is taken to render the surroundings of it obnoxious to it they will hatch out, and being born in the atmosphere will live in it and pursue their destructive course. It is therefore of the greatest importance thatal goods packed away from moths should be first beaten thor oughly, and then hung in the sunshine and air for at least 12 hours just be- fore they are wrapped up. Almost any of the ordinary devices to keep away moths are then of value. A great many farmers use camphor, others prefer some of the various mercantile prepa- rations, which all conduce in the same result to make the atmosphere around the goods uncongenial to moths. Wrap the goods in newspaper, as the print ers ink assists the camphor, tobacco or other moth preventive in driving off insects. Turn all the edges and pin them up, inclosing the moth preven- tive used If the article to be put away is skirt or long wrap that might be creased if folded, hang it in bag of cotton, sprinkling in the camphor or other moth preventive lberally, and sew up the end of the bag and hang it up by straps at the two upper cor ners. Closets or chests lined with cam phor, if made with close doors, may be depended upon, it is said, to keep out moths without using any wrappings or other moth preventive, but only pro- vided the clothing is properly beaten before it is stored. Furs should be wrapped in newspaper and sealed up in boxes, pasting strips of paper around the edges of the cover. Inclose a little camphor or some moth preventive in- side the newspaper wrapp'ngs. l Tribune.
