2505.
Birdlime.
Take
any
quantity
of
linseed
oil,
say
half
a
pint;
put
it
into
an
old
pot,
or
any
vessel
that
will
stand
the
fire
without
breaking--the
vessel
must
not
be
more
than
one-third
full;
put
it
on
a
slow
fire,
stir
it
occasionally
until
it
thickens
as
much
as
required;
this
will
be
known
by
cooling
the
stick
in
water,
and
trying
it
with
the
fingers.
It
is
best
to
make
it
rather
harder
than
for
use.
Then
pour
it
into
cold
water.
It
can
be
brought
back
to
the
consistency
required
with
a
little
Archangel
tar.
2506.
Anglo-Japanese
Work.
This
is
an
elegant
and
easy
domestic
art.
Take
yellow
withered
leaves,
dissolve
gum,
black
paint,
copal
varnish,
&c.
Any
articles,
such
as
an
old
tea-caddy,
flower-pots,
fire-screens,
screens
of
all
descriptions,
work-boxes,
&c.,
may
be
ornamented
with
these
simple
materials.
Select
perfect
leaves,
dry
and
press
them
between
the
leaves
of
books;
rub
the
surface
of
the
article
to
be
ornamented
with
fine
sand
paper,
then
give
it
a
coat
of
fine
black
paint,
which
should
be
procured
mixed
at
a
colour
shop.
When
dry
rub
smooth
with
pumice-stone,
and
give
two
other
coats.
Dry.
Arrange
leaves
in
any
manner
and
variety,
according
to
taste.
Gum
the
leaves
on
the
under
side,
and
press
them
upon
their
places.
Then
dissolve
some
isinglass
in
hot
water,
and
brush
it
over
the
work.
Dry.
Give
three
coats
of
copal
varnish,
allowing
ample
time
for
each
coat
to
dry.
Articles
thus
ornamented
last
for
years,
and
are
very
pleasing.
