Improved Iinwrovod Mortar Mortar ter Tor I I’lavterfiur lastering. A new method of making mortar for plaatering walls has beeu dovisol, which is confidently said by those who are iu fornwd as to it to be superior to ivy other ever yet tried. Stucco or plasttv of-paris is used instead of lime in mak ing the mortar, one part of stucco, bv measure, being tmed to two parts of sand, No hair is used for tue first or ‘scrau-h’ &*at, and three coats of plastering are put on. In mixing the stucco and sand quart of glue and water is mixed, usedto and the pail , ful of sand staceo then clean water is added until the mortar is of the right consistency. The mortar must be used as soon as made, and oulv daimn-id made in that small quantities will make at a harder, time.

Take a perfectly round piece of stout pasteboard just the diamt ter yon want your ball to be. Out a good-eizod circular hole in the center, and with double zephyr of any color thread (double) on a worsted needle go over and over the card evenly all around until the hole is so filled with wool vou cannot force the needle through. Then with sharp scissors clip, the wool nil round the outer edge of the card, so that the latter is exposed. Press the wool, winch has expanded when cut into a ball, away on one side so that you can slip a very Stout but small twine around it close-to .the card. Tie the twine ends together as tightly and as firmly as pos¬ sible ; then cut and pull away the card completely, and elastic! and you have a very pretty bail. Trim the ball with sharp scissors till completely smooth and even. For tire knitted reins take double zephyr wool aad a pair of ivory knitting needles.
