E.--Take
one-half pound ground Pumice Stone and one-quarter pound Red Chalk, mix
them evenly together. This is for tin brass. For silver and fine ware,
take one-half pound Red Chalk, and one-quarter pound Pumice Stone, mix
evenly; use these articles dry with a piece of wash leather. It is one
of the best cleaning powders ever invented, and very valuable.

SILVER POLISH FOR TIN, BRASS AND METALLIC ARTICLES.--Quicksilver,
Tinfoil or Rottenstone, equal parts, all pulverized together. Roll up
in balls, show as you go, and sell for 10 cents a ball.

ANOTHER.--Fine.--Four pounds Whiting, one-quarter ounce Oxalic Acid,
one-half ounce Cream Tartar. Stir all together, then add slowly three
ounces Mercury stirring briskly all the time so it will mix. This is
good, 25 cents a ball.

KANGAROO CEMENT.--Rubber one ounce, pack tightly as possible in a
bottle and cover it with Bi-Sulphate of Carbon. When the rubber is
dissolved you will have the best cement in the world. There is a
fortune in this to an energetic man, as it sells at 25 cents a drachm;
and costs but little to make it. This is the cement used by shoemakers
to put invisible patches on shoes.

HOW TO EAT FIRE.--Anoint your tongue with liquid Storax, and you may
put hot iron or fire coals into your mouth, and without burning you.
This is a very dangerous trick to be done, and those who practice it
ought to use all means they can to prevent danger. We never saw one of
those fire-eaters that had a good complexion.

Bismuth. Melt the composition three times, and pour them out in ley.
The third time, when melting, add two ounces of pure silver.

IMITATION GOLD.--Four ounces of Platina, three ounces of Silver, one
ounce of Copper.

OROIDE GOLD.--The best article is made by compounding four parts pure
Copper, one and three-fourths part pure Zinc, one-fourth part Magnesia,
one-tenth part Sal-Ammoniac, one-twelfth part Quick Lime, and one part
Cream Tartar. Melt the Copper first, then add as rapidly as possible
the other articles in the order named.

HOW TO INCREASE THE WEIGHT OF GOLD.--Take your bar of Gold and rub it
long and carefully with thin Silver, until the Gold absorbs the
quantity of Silver that you require. Then prepare a strong solution of
Brimstone and Quicklime. Now put the Gold into a vessel with a wide
mouth. Now let them boil until the Gold attains the right color, and
you have it, but d
