How Jellies Are Made

The English are enormous consumers of sauces and jellies. The latter are made by the ton in the London manufactories out of old hides, sheep and calfskins, old kid gloves, buckskin breeches, horses' hoofs, scraps of leather-size and glue. During the Crystal Palace Exhibition in 1851, hides in London advanced ten per cent in price on account of the great demand for jellies in the refreshment rooms of that city. Cargoes, instead of being devoted to the uses for which they were imported,—that of boot and shoe-making—were brought up by the manufacturing confectioners for jelly making.
