It is often the case that one finds it convenient to have at hand a first class lacquer with which to coat instru- ments, ornaments or other articles. to add dther to their durability or finish. The following recipe will be found re- liable and not specially expens1ve: One pint of best rectihed alcohol, two drams each of saffron and Spanish an- notto, an ounce of ground tumeric. Put these ingredients together and place them where there Is a moderate heat. Leave them for several days, shaking them occasionally. When nearly dis solved add three ounces of the best seed lac in rough powder. Let this stand until the lac is all dissolved, shaking 1t frequently. If the color is to be bright yellow, use less annotto; if a deep orange, use more. Put the mix ture on while warm. Apply with a brush as one would use paint. The number of coats depends entirely upon the article and the purpose for which 1t Is used. For blue lacquer add prus- sian 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 unevenly or in streaks.
 It Is a miserable thing to live in sus- pense. It is the life of a spider.-Swift
