Il had the Postum made carefully
according to directions on the pkg. and

C0L0RlNG METALS.
Almost Any Hue, Bright and Lasting,
Quickly Impaired to Brass.

Almost Any Hue, Bright and Lasting,
Quickly Impaired to Brass.
1t has been found that metals may be
colored quickly and cheaply by forming
on their surface a coating of a thin
finn of q sulphide. In five minutes
brass articles may be coated any color
varying from gold to copper red, then
to carmine, dark red and from light
aniline blue to a blue-white like sui
phide of lead and at last a reddish
white, according to the thickness of
the coat, which depends on the length
of time the metal remains in the solu
ton used The colors possess a very
good luster, and. if the articles to be
colored have been previously thorough
ly cleaned by means of acids and aka
lies they adhere so firmly that they
may be operated upon by the polishing
steel.
To prepare the solution dissolve half
an ounce of hyposulphide OF soda in
one pound of water and add half an
ounce of acetate of lead dissolved in
half a pound of water. When this clear
solution is heated to from 100 to 200
degrees +. it decomposes slowly and
preclpitates sulphide of lead in brown
flakes. If metal be now present a part
Of the sulphide Of lead Is deposited
thereon. and according to the thickness
of the deposited sulphide of lead rho
above cOlors are produced. To produce
an even coloring the articles must be
evenly heated. Iron heated with this
solution takes a steel blue color and
will retain the coloring unless some
abrasive is used to remove it.-London

ODD MEMORY TEST.
A Bit Of Nonsense Literature Whose
Author Is Unknown.

Author Is Unknown.
There is an odd bit of composition
that has figured in nonsense literature
as follows:
$50 she went into a garden to pick
a cabbage leaf, to make an apple pie
Of, and she bear, coming up the
street, put her head into the shop and
said, DO you sell any soap? So she
6ied, and he very imprudently mar
ried the barber, and the powder fell
out of the counselor's wig, and poor
Mrs. MacKay's buildings were quite
entirely spoilt, and there were present
the Garnelies and the Goblilies and
the Pickaninnies and the great Panjan-
drum himself, with the little round
button at top, and they played at the
ancient game of catch who catch can
till the gunpowder ran out of the heels
of their boots"
The origin of the passage is obscure.
Maria EdgewOrth Q767-1849), quotes it
in one of her stories, attributing it to
Samuel Foote (t720-77l. The British
Quarterly Review said that Foote
wrote it in order to test a certain lee
turer who claimed that he could learn
anything by rOte on once hearing It.
Another account says that 1t was
written by an actor named James
Quinn Q693-1766) to puzzle Foote,
with whom he had wager that Foote
could not memorize something that
Quinn would write. Foote anG Quinn
both were noted actors in their day,
and the nOnsensical passage probably
was the outgrowth of some convivial
contest of wits between them.
1t used to figure in school rhetorics
to illustrate the difficulty Of memoriz-
ing something that had no sense to it.
