What- becomes of old boots and shoes has hitherto been almost as puzzling a problem as where all the pins to go. The solution, however, is given in a trade jeurnal. "Old boots and shoes of lea- ther," the journal says, "are cut up into small pieces, and then are put for two days into chloride of sulphur, the effect of which is to make the leather very hard and brittle. When this is fully effected the material is withdrawn from the action "of the chloride of sulphur, 'washed with water, dried, and ground to powder. Ii is then mixed with some substance that will cause it to adhere to- gether, such as shellac or other resinous material, or even a good glue, and a thick solution of strong gum, It is after- wards pressed into moulds to form ccmbs, buttons, and a variety of other useful articles. - Prussiate of potash is also made out of old leather. It is healed with pearl-ash and old iron hoops in a large pot. 'The nitrogen and carbon form cyanogen, and then unite with the iron and potassium. ' The soluble portions are dissolved out, 'and the resulting salt, | added to one of iron, produces the well- in blue, either for dyeing. Al 8 Recovery. , Frank Stroebe, R. F.

When going away from home, or at any change of habitat, he is a wise man who numbers among his belongings a tottle of J. D. Kellogg's Dysentery Cor- dial. Change of food and water in some strange place where there are no doc- tors may bring on an attack of dysen- tery. He then has a standard remedy gt hand with which to cope with the dis- order, and forearmed he oan successfully fight the ailment and subdue it. NOTHING NEW TO HIM.

The Bride--"Don't be silly, George. There is nothing in my eyes but cin- ders," For the Overworked.--What are the causes of despondency and melancholy? A disoredered liver is one cause and a prime one. A disordered liver means a disordered stomach, and a disordered slomach means disturbance of the merv- ous system. This brings the whole body into subjection and the victim feels sick all over. Parmelee's Vegetable Pills are a recognized remedy in this state and relief will follow their use. NOT WASTED.
