NIucilage.

Mucilage is an adhesive substance
prepared from the eXudations OF
various trees and plants from lin
seed, marshmallow roots, onions,
ETC.. by the addition generally OF an
alkali solution, the same result can
be obtained by long boiling in water.
A very seryiceable mucilage can
easily be made from onion juice. AT
ter short boiling, good sized
Spanish onion will readily yield on
pressure a large quantity of very ad-
hesiye fluid. This product is used
extensively in various trades for
pasting paper on tin or even glass,
its tenacity being surprisingly great
and equaling the result Of many OF
the more costly patent cements.
Some of the cements sold by street
fakirs at 10 cents bottle consist OF
nothing but onion juice and water
the bottle and cork cost a great deal
more than the contents.-Grocer's

The Common Benefactor.

Did you ever think of it? Suppose
every business man in town took as
much interest in the UNFOLDING Of
the town and forwarding all public
enterprises as the newspaper man.
He works for railroads, manufactor-
les, schools and churches, good
streets and roads; urges, pleads,
scolds and badgers and caverts
around generally. Imagine his feel
ings then when some lame, string
halted kind of a fellow reproaches
him because he doesn't boom things
enough. If the town does boom and
the prices of real estate advance and
the owners grow rich from the re-
suit OF his labor, he makes nothing
by it. He is like the poor boy at the
pictures without the necessary quar-
ter to gain admission.

Origin OF Felt.

Many centuries ago poor monk
was compelled to travel upon a long
and arduous journey. His road was
rocky, his sandals were worn, and
he suffered agonies as he trudged
grimly upon his holy errand. One
day as he sat by the wayside resting
a sheep came up to him, bleating in
the most friendly fashion. The good
monk petted the sheep. and was
grateful for it's dumb friendliness,
when suddenly he had an inspira-
ton. He took out his sheath knife,
sheared two handfuls Of wool from
the sheep and placed one in the heel
of either sandal That afternoon as
he trudged along his feet seemed
light, his step springy. The wool
took the jar from his spine, the i'm
pact of the stony road from his ach-
ing, swollen feet.
The next morning as he started
out he thought to rearrange the
wool padding and discovered that
the friction and the movement of his
feet in the sandals had reduced the
wool to sort of a cloth. Thus was
discovered felt, which to this day is
one of the most effective substances
ever discovered for padding purpos-
es.
