CEMENT FOR KNIFE HANDLES

Set handle on end, and partly fill cavity with powdered resin, chopped hair or tow, chalk, whiting, or quicklime; heat the spike of the knife and force it into its place. Equal parts of sulphur, resin, and brick-dust also make an excellent cement. WATER boiled in galvanized iron becomes poisonous, and cold water passed through zinc-lined iron pipes should never be used for cooking or drinking. Hot water for cooking should never be taken from hot-water pipes; take from cold-water pipes, and keep a supply heated for use in kettles. .
