The Florida cedar is used by all of the principal pencil makers in the world, on account of its fine grain, softness and strength combined.

Rubber tubes are made by wrapping slips of rubber or rubber-cloth around a mandril of glass, which is afterwards withdrawn, the layers and the edges being joined by salvants of heat.

To make leather adhere closely to metal, the leatker is steeped in an iufusion of gall nuts, a layer of hot glue is spread upon the metal, aud the leather forcibly applied to on the fleshy side. It must be allowed to dry uoder the same press- ure

Marble for mantels, tombstones, end geverally wuere thin pieces are required, is divided by a saw, which is a plain oar- row plate of steel, and effects the division of the stone by actritiou, being constantly supplied with sand and water.

Rubber belting is formed by laying io- gether a sufficieat oumber of layers of the vulcanized gum or gum cloth, and subjecting them to the action of a flat press at a heat of 280°. Additional hardness is attained by the use of a larger proportion of sulphur and the application of greater heat.

In Holland the preservation of the woodwork of drawbridges, siuices, gates, and other works, is cond»cted by the ap- plication of a mixture of pitch and tar, whereon are strewn pounded shells, with amixturo of sea sand, or again with small aud sifted beaten scales from a blacksmith’s forge.

Limestone, taking an average time, re- quires burning about sixty hours to re duce it to lime when the heat is strong and well regulated; though no general rule can be laid down, siuce the different species require different periods of time. Tke prineipal object to be accomplished is the expulsion of the carbonic acid gas which enters into its composition.

The covering of pulleys with leather in many establishments where there is de- ticieacy of power, would produce such an improvement as to astonish those not ac- quainted with its vaiue. Large pulleys and drums may be covered by narrow strips of leather, wound around spirally; but narrow pulleys should be covered by are of the same width as the pulley

CATARRE.

‘\Gonstitutional Catarrh Remedy

CURES CATARRH.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.

T. J. B. Harpixe, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—

DeEaR Srr—It is now two years since your ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy ’.was intro- duced tome. Ihave waited this o to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to true.’’4

I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par- ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop’ from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter o the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles'and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for acold in my head.,

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, eundlleited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
