Fruit
Skeletons.
Fruits
are
divested
of
their
pulp
and
made
into
skeletons
in
a
different
manner.
Take,
for
an
instance,
a
fine
large
pear
which
is
soft,
and
not
tough;
let
it
be
carefully
pared
without
squeezing
it,
and
without
injuring
either
the
crown
or
the
stalk;
put
it
into
a
pot
of
rain
water,
covered,
set
it
over
the
fire,
and
let
it
boil
gently
till
perfectly
soft,
then
take
it
out
and
lay
it
in
a
dish
filled
with
cold
water;
then
holding
it
by
the
stalk
with
one
hand,
rub
off
as
much
of
the
pulp
as
you
can
with
the
finger
and
thumb,
beginning
at
the
stalk
and
rubbing
it
regularly
towards
the
crown.
The
fibres
are
most
tender
towards
the
extremities,
and
are
therefore
to
be
treated
with
great
care
there.
When
the
pulp
has
thus
been
cleared
pretty
well
off,
the
point
of
a
fine
penknife
may
be
of
use
to
pick
away
the
pulp
sticking
to
the
core.
In
order
to
see
how
the
operation
advances,
the
soiled
water
must
be
thrown
away
from
time
to
time,
and
clean
poured
on
in
its
place.
When
the
pulp
is
in
this
manner
perfectly
separated,
the
clean
skeleton
is
to
be
preserved
in
spirits
of
wine.

To
make
Impressions
of
Leaves.
Prepare
two
rubbers
by
tying
up
wool
or
any
other
substance
in
wash-leather;
then
prepare
the
colours
in
which
you
wish
to
print
leaves,
by
rubbing
up
with
cold
drawn
linseed
oil
the
tints
that
are
required,
as
indigo
for
blue,
chrome
for
yellow,
indigo
and
chrome
for
green,
&c.
Get
a
number
of
leaves
the
size
and
kind
you
wish
to
stamp,
then
dip
the
rubbers
into
the
paint,
and
rub
them
one
over
the
other,
so
that
you
may
have
but
a
small
quantity
of
the
composition
upon
the
rubbers;
place
a
leaf
upon
one
rubber
and
moisten
it
gently
with
the
other;
take
the
leaf
off
and
apply
it
to
the
substance
on
which
you
wish
to
make
an
imprint
of
the
leaf.
Upon
the
leaf
place
a
piece
of
white
paper,
press
gently,
and
a
beautiful
impression
of
all
the
veins
of
the
leaf
will
be
obtained.
