Liquid glue.

--The following receipe, the discovery of a French chemist, is selling about the country, for various prices, from one to five dollars. It is a handy and valuable composition, as it does not gelatinize nor undergo putrefaction and fermentation and become offensive, and is always ready for use. In a wide-mouthed bottle dissolve eight ounces of best glue in half a pint of water, by setting it in a vessel of water and heating it till dissolved. Then add slowly, constantly stirring, two and a half ounces strong aqua fortis, (nitric acid.) Keep it well corked, and it will be ready for use.
