Sealing Wax.

1t is singular enough that the Oldest
known printed recipe for making com'
mon sealing wax, published at Augs-
burg In 1870, describes the use OF al
most the same ingredients as those az
present employed. ROsin, the whitest
that can be obtained; venice turpentlne
and vermilion are the cOmponents. For
black wax, lampblack is to be ADDED;
for blue wax, smalt, and for yellow
orpiment. When sealing wax was
more widely used than Is the case al
present, scented wax was an article

Need Of Abundant Life.

We live in an age which demands
abundant life. The battle Of life is toe
fierce and continuous for q weak body
or an unframed mind or low spiritual
vitality. Our success during our stay
on earth is to be measured by the
amount and kind Of life that we draw
from the fountain Of life. No man be-
comes what God intends him to be who
fails to increase the life that has been
given.-Rev. DR.. w. F. McMurry, Meth.
odist, st. Louis.

We have got new streets, new line of

not boom home industries first by in
teresting some of the idle money that is
deposited in our banks and invest some
of it in mattress factory and wheel
barrow plant. You may then invite

have some local interests they will pass
