To Mend China: It- is unfortunate to break a valued piece of china, but by carefully following this method, it can be restored to utility. Mix a teaspoonful of alum in a tablcspoonful of water, place in a hot oven until tnc alum becomes quite transparent, sec that tho broken pieces are quite clean, and place them in n warm oven until they are moderately hot to touch; while still so, coat the broken edges quickly and thinly with the mixture, as it sticks instantly. When dry, the mend ir will resist hot water and ordinary usage.
