The land office of the Kansas Pacific at Kansas City, baa been ravaged by mice and rats. Bare specimens of wheat, rye, corn, oats and other grains sent in from along the road for a cen tennial display were ruthlessly de stroyed as fast as brought in. Poison, cats and traps proved unavailing to stop the raids made upon the Grangers' display from the line of the Kansas Pa cific Boedelheimer. the agent resolved to separate all his treasures from the corners of the room and the wood-work and so prevent the mice reaching them. But they went up the walls with the same ease they had gone over the floor, 'and continued to shell out his prize bunches of grain. . Then he thought of a plan. lie stretched wires from each wall across the room, and to these he hung his bunches of grain. He felt sure he had thwarted his pestiferous tormentors. But they still continued to husk bis choice samples. lie con cluded to watch all night and see how it was done. So the other night he laid himself down upon the table beneath his wheat and oats, and with a light burning, kept watch until the attack commenced. About 11 o'clock, when all was still, a file of small, diminutive mice ran up the corner of the room, where the cornice of the window reached to the ceiling. Here the de tachment separated into three portions. One lot went up the gas-pipe, another lot followed a pine board nailed along the side of the wall, and another went to the top of a plain partition. Those that went along the pipe traveled over it sideways until they came directly over the wires sustaining the price bunches of wheat when down they dropped. Two out of three caught in the suspended buncnes; those that missed and fell, started round to try it again. Those mice that went along the pine plank, Boedelheimer says, were small mice; be thinks they were fe males. They started on the tight wire and balanced themselves upon it with the skill of accomplished acrobats, and went dowu into the prize bunches with ease. The third detachment, Roedel heimer s&ys, were strong fellows; males he thinks. They started on the run, and jumped from the top of the parti tion to the wires, and caught hold of the wheat sheaves as they flew through the air: Not one out of five missed catching hold. He says be watched their operations, and noticea mat as fast as they filled themselves they dropped down upon the table, and started home. Denver A eics. Orlrla ef a Faaalea. Few fashions have originated more ridiculously than the spencer, and yet it was so very convenient an article of dress, that it seems remarkable that it should have sunk so entirely into dis use. Mr. Spencer, a gentleman well known to the men of fashion in his day and familiarly called "honest Jack Spencer," was rather particular in his dress, and had, on more than one occa sion, led the way in matters of taste, Being once in company where fashion became the subject of the conversation, he remarked that there was nothing so preposterous, but if worn by a person of sufficient consequence, it would be followed. One of the gentlemen doubted this and offered some argument to the contrary; when be was interrupted by Mr. Spencer, who said in order to put the question to the test, "I will lay you a wager, (mentioning the sum) that if I cut off the skirts of my coat, and walk out with merely the body and sleeve, some person will follow me." "Xo doubt of it," said one of the gentleman present, "for I think, Jack ,ali tne boys in the street wilt follow you, though it will Le only to laugh at you." Mr Spencer said, he meant some other per son would adopt the fashion. The bet was accepted, Mr. Spencer's coat "cur tailed of its fair proportion" of skirt and out he set, first walking down Bond Street, and afterwards passing a shop of a "man of modes," whom be knew to be always on the watch for novelty. The fashion was soon adopted, and al though at first every body acknowl edged it to look extremely ridiculous, yet few articles of dress of a peculiar shape, ever came into more general use. As to Mr. Spencer, having set the fashion, he did not adhere to it, al though it retained his name. antala VejreUttlaa. Perhaps the best epitome of moun tain vegetation is that of Mount Ven- toux In rrovence, described oy fTor. Chales Martins, of Montpelier. There are six botanic regions on the southern slope of the mountain, and nve en the opposite side. At the southern foot of Ventoux the Aleppo pine and the olive are found with the peculiar vegetation which those two plants encircle by the girdle they draw around the Mediter ranean. The olive outcllmbs the pine and reaches 1,400 feet, the rosemary and Spanishbroonj keeping its company, with the Kermes oak, ( Quecut coatera,) an evergreen bush of irom seven to twenty feet high, common on poor spots in the Mediterranean regions, whose leaves like those of the cactus (txmchinilli ftra) are depastured by the cochineal inaect. Then come the other evergreen oaks with thyme and lavender for un der shrubs, and then beautiful beeches fill the sheltered ravines and deep val leys, whose exposed edges were covered with humble bushes rolled into hard balls with a crowd of closely knotted branches, and squatting on the ground like little old pigmies, counting more years, perhaps, than the giant beeches close by. bub-alpine plants grow around, such as the buckthorn, goose berries, and wall flower. At 6,000 feet intense cold and violent winds have banished all plant except one of the conifers (ft'nui uncicata.) The common juniper is the companion of the beeches on Mount Ventoux, as it is on the north downs of Surry, on whose southern slopes it forms, at Shiera, clumps of cypress-like shrubs twenty feet in height, instead of being constrained, by an annual burden of snow, to trail on the ground as on some of the moun tains of Europe. On the northern aides of Mount Ventoux, the vegetation of the loftiest ridges of the Jura and the Pyrenees, and that of the shores of Spitsbergen are watered by the melting now, with many specimens of the flora of Lapland and Iceland. Prof. Char les Martins mentions finding the moun tain germander ( Vermua moiUana,) the tufted saxifrage, S. caspitota,) the or ange flowering poppy-, the violet of Mount Cenis, the purple saxifrage, three arenaries, one ononis, and the common stinging nettle, looking quite like an old friend. The stinging nettle, like a shepherd's purse, (Capsella bursa pastorit,) follows man wherever be goes, and may, perhaps, have gone to Mount, Ventoux at the time of Petrarch's as cent, since it is found growing about a chapel "bulli hear the summit to com memorate that event. ACUCIJLTTKIL. Cam or Sheet Dcxixo the Sun Mrs Months. A correspondent of the New England Fanner writes: A flock of sheep require bnt little care during the summer months, except that they have plenty of good feed and salt, and are watched to see that none of them get sick or diseased. The principle work to be done In this season is to raise a suitable quantity of roots, Ac, and to cut in the proper season, and well cure and store the necessary sup ply of hay and grain. Roots, apples and pumpkins are necessary to some extent in the winter, not only on ac count of the nourishment taey contain, but to supply the lack of zreen feed and to keep the sheep in a healthy condi tion. The cutting of the hay in proper sea son ana well curing and storing the same, is one of the (Treat essential points in good sheep husbandry. If from any cause we fail to do this, our sheep the next spring are usually poor ana weak, and we have Dad luck in raising lambs, the sole cause of which is, that the sheep during the winter have been eating poor bay, and vainly endeavoring to obtain from it the neces sary amount of nourishment which the hay did not contain. Coarse and rank timothy makes fair sheep hay if it is cut a few days before it begins to blos som and is well cured. Nearly all kinds of low land and swamp hay is good sheep hay if cut in season and well cured. Sheep prefer a variety of good hay instead of being confined to one kind only. Lambs should be weaned when they are four months old and turned into good feed. If they are fed daily in ad dition to good grass an 4 hay one pint oi oats and snorts apiece unui iney are turned out to grass the next spring, they will have a good start towards making sheep with good constitutions. I believe that, if we would raise sheep with good constitutions, we must sup ply them liberally during tneir growtn with that kind of food that will furnish them with the necessary amount of bone und muscle. Sheep, and lambs in particular, should be housed during cold storms in the fall and fed with hay, which they shonld learn to eat before they are en tirely deprived of grass. All kinds of sheep, and breeding ewes In particular, should come to the barn in good condi tion in the rail. This is necessary in order that they may be able to well develop their lambs. All kinds of sheep should be allowed to run out upon tha ground daily in the late fall and early winter as long as the ground is bare. This is necessary for their exercise which gives health, strength and vigor. A reason able amount of exercise is necessary for sheep during the entire winter and spring. Sulphur and ashes shouln be fed to sheep with their salt during the winter. Sulphur promotes health and is offensive to vermin. Ashes are also essential for breeding ewes. I presume some of you have seen lambs that, when first dropped, were strong, and their dams gave a rood quantity of milk, yet in a few days the lambs would begin to droop and finally die. li you were to open the stomach of such lambs, in some ca ses, you would find it packed and dis tended with a hard curd which was the cause of their death. The remedy for this is to feed the breeding ewes with some kind of a mild alkali like ashes for some time previous to their lambs being dropped. Sheep should be turned out upon the ground daily, as soon as there is a spot bare that is large enough for them to stand upon, for the air in their pens and stables is generally impure, and no amount of good feed will supply tbe lack of good air and execise. There are various diseases which sheep and lambs sometimes have, and there are troubles to encounter in breeding sheen. There is cause for all of these. It should be one of tbe studies of the sheep bree der to learn what those causes are, and avoid them; when we do that we shall have good luck in sheep husbandry. Which Way Should Drills Era ? An erroneous impression seems to pre vail in regard to the proper direction in which to place drills, for plants cultiva ted in that manner. They are usually laid off north and south, in order to get the greatest benefit from the direct rays or the sun. instead or north and south, the rows should run east and west. Suppose a piece of ground planted in drills two feet apart, running north and south. The plants, by tbe middle of July, having attained the height of four feet, each row will be shaded by the one east of it until about the middle of the forenoon; then from the middle of the afternoon till night, the shade of each row will fall on its next eastern neighbor. It the drills run east and west, the distance apart and the height being the same, the shadow of any row will not reach another row, excepting when tbe sun is near the horizon, early in the morning or late in the afternoon. In latitude 40 deg. north the shadow of a plant four feet high will not reach twe feet north from its base until about the 10th of August. Wood Ashes. The Scientific American says: 1 he point to which we now call attention is, that our farmers and fruitgrowers are ignorant of the im portance of wood ashes as a vegetable stimulant, and a lending constituent of plants, iven coal ashes, now thrown away as useless, have been shown both by experiment and analysis to possess a fair share of alkaline value. We will relate only one experiment. Some twenty-five years ago we treated an old pippin tree as follows; The hollow to the height of eight feet was filled and rammed with a composite of wood ashes, garden mould, and a little waste lime (carbonate.) The filling was se curely fastened in by boards. The next year the crop of sound fruit was sixteen bushels from an old shell of a tree that had borne nothing of any ac count for some years, and for seven teen years after the filling of tbe old pippin tree, it continued to flourish aud bear well. Saddle Galls. To prevent saddle galls, tne saddle should be lined with some smooth, hard, substance. Flannel or woolen cloth is bad. A hard-finished, smooth rawhide lining, similar to those of the military saddles, is preferable. Then, if the saddle is properly fitted to the horse's back, there will be no galls unless the horse is very hardly used. Galls should be washed with soap and water, and then with a solution of six grain of copperas or blue vitriol, to one tablespoonful of water.wbich will bar den the surface and help to restore tbe growth of skin. White hairs growing upon healed gall spots cannot be pre vented. A Sheep's Teeth. I often hear per sons disputing the age of sheep, to my surprise, be it said. For them to tell the age or a sheep nothing is easier. A sheen's front teeth the first year are eight in number, appearing all of a size. Second year the two middle ones are shed and replaced by two much longer than tbe others. Third year two very small ones appear one on either side of tbe eight. At the end of the fourth there are six large teeth. Fifth year all the front teeth are large. Sixth year all begin to show wear not till then. PacxiNaMELOx Vises. Few persons practice pruning cucumber, melon and other similar kinds of vines; still, it is just as beneficial, if properly done, as me annual pruning or tne grape and other woody plants. The pruning should be confined, however, to the pinching off of the ends of shoots only. To Make a Hosse Relish his Hat. Sprinkle the hay with water that has salt dissolved In it, because it Is pleas ing to the animals taste and more easily digested. A teaspoon ful of salt in a bucket of water is sufficient. ftomranc. Flavorings. Very much of the suc cess or culinary labor depends on tne skill with which flavorings are usea An excess of spice in mince pie or pud dings or cake. BDOils them as certainly as a deficiency renders them flat and In sipid. Goose served with onion in the stuffing entrees and goose served with' out it are entirely distinct dishes. A bunch of sweet herbs boiled in soup not only improves its flavor, but increases its assimilative properties. Compara tively little attention has been given in this country to the art of flavoring, and French cooks, very largely indebted to their knowledge of it for their popu larity, are preferred in hotels and private families that can afford to hire them to cooks born here. A French cook can take a sweetbread, a kidney, a bit of tough meat, and with a sprig of parsley, a bay lear, a little tnyme ana sweet basil, make a dish perfectly deli cious, at trifling cost; but American cooks must have steaks at twenty-five and thirty cents a pound, roasts of high nrice. the choicest Darts of mutton and lamb, or they cannot be expected to get up a nice dinner; and if black pepper in quantity is supplied, more flavorings are required. Those people wno can afford to spend lavishly upon their table may induige in choice meats that are not benefited by added flavors, but those who must buy cheap meats, may, by skill In cooking, get almost as mucn good of them, both in the way of nutri tion and enjoyment, as tneir weaitny neighbors do of theirs. What spices are to cake, puddings and pies, sweet herbs are to meats and savory dishes. Every housekeeper should have her little plot in the garden of sage, Summer savory, sweet marjo ram, sweet basil, thyme and parsley, and practice the art of blending flavors harmoniously. They are to food what fragrance is to flowers. Accustomed to these innocent flavorings, those whom she feeds will not require or enjoy the fiery condiments that are so common upon our tables, aud that, though they would raise a blister upon our backs, we put. without hesitation, upon the delicate lining tissues of the stomach. The Gcms. The daily precaution (the use of tbe tooth-brush) for tbe pre servation of the teeth, and the cleanli ness of the mouth, will generally ensure a healthy condition of the gums; though they are sometimes affected from constitutional causes, which produce tenderness and liability to bleed upon pressure ; cold, also, has a similar effect occasionally. Tincture of myrrh, di luted with a little water, is, in such cases, an excellent puruying and strengthening application. A few drops of tincture of catechu in water forms an astringent and stimulating lotion. French Rolls. Two quarts of sifted flour, a lump of lard about the size of an egg one a little larger of butter; stir into the flour, the same as in mak ing pastry, v hen well stirred, add blood warm water, or preferr.'oly milk and water ; add a little salt,ha'.f a teacup ful of home-made yeast or three table spoonfuls of baker's yeast. Mix in the evening as for bread, and let rise ; ten or fifteen minutes will suffice if the oven is sufficiently heated. Good bread is made in the same way with a propor tionately small quantity of lard and butter. To preserve lard tor summer use it is not necessary to salt it, it being pre ferable when perfectly fresh; but it should be tried' 'till all the water is ex pelled. Cleanse your hogs' bladders and fill them with lard warm enough to run easily. When cold close up the mouths of the bladders and your lard will keep perfectly sweet and clean as long as you choose to keep it. Tin is objectionable to keep lard in, especially if the latter is salted, on accouut of the rust. Stains from Llnex. To restore linen that has long been stained, rub the stains on each side with wet brown soap. Mix some starch to a thick paste with cold water, and spread it over the soaped places ; then expose tbe linen to the sun aud air, and if the stains have not disappeared in three or four days. rub off the mixture, and repeat the pro cess with rresn soap aud starch. After wards dry it; wet it with cold water, and put it into the wash. Fotato Pcfts. Take some cold meat, either beef or mutton, real or ham; clear it from gristle, cut it small, and season with pepper, salt, and cut pickles ; boil and mash some potatoes, and make them into a paste with one or t wo eggs ; roll it out, with dust of flour ; cut it round with a saucer; put some of your seasoned meat on one half, aud fold it over like a puff; pinch or nick it neatly round, and fry to a light brown. To Remove Rust. To remove rust from steel, cover with sweet oil well rubbed on. In forty-eight hours use uuslacked lime, powdered very Hue. Rub it till the rust disappears. To pre vent rust, mix with fat oil varnish four fifths of well rectified spirits of turpen tine. Apply the varnish by means of a sponge. Articles varnished in this manner will retain their brilliancy, and never contract any spots of rust. To Clean Silk. Take a quarter of a pound of soft soap, a teaspoon ful of brandy, and a pint or gin ; mix all well together, and strain through a cloth. With a sponge or flannel spread the mixture on each side of the silk without erasiug it; wash it in two or three waters, and iron it on the wrong side; it will look as good as new, aud the process will not injure silks of even the most delicate colors. Excelsior Cake. One cup of butter, one of brown sugar, oue of molasses, one of sweet milk, three of flour, four eg one aud one-half teaspoonfuls cream tartar aad one of soda, two pounds of raisins chopped fine, one nut meg. This will make two good-sized loaves, which will keep moist from four to six weeks when properly covered. Snowball Cake. A cupful of butter and two cupfuls of flour, the whites of three eggs, a teaspoonful of cream of tartar, and half a teaspoonful of soda; beat butter and sugar thoroughly to gether, add the whites of eggs thor oughly beaten to a stiff foam, then the flour with cream of tartar sifted in, and milk and soda last. Oat Meal Breakfast Cakes. Take one quart Canada oat meal, wet with one quart of cold water, and pour it into a baking tin so that it win stand half an inch deep. Shake down level. and bake in a hot oven half an hour, or until it is crisp and brown on tbe sur face. Cut quickly into two-inch squares aud serve hot. Summer Mince Pies. One cup raisins, chopped Hue, 1 untmeg, 3 cups water, 1 tablespoonrul cinnamon, 2 cups sugar, butter the size of an egg, K cup vine gar, S crackers rolled fine; cook well together before baking. A simple and effectual remedy for ivy poisoning is said to be sweet spirits of nitre. Bathe the affected parts freely two or three times during the day, and the next morning scarcely any trace of the poison will remain. Sand Tart. Two pounds of flour. two pounds of sugar, one and a quarter pounds butter, four eggs, salt ; roll thin, sprinkle cinnamon aud sugar on top, aud bake on tin sheets. Rick Muffins. To one quart of sour milk, three well beaten eggs, a little salt teaspoonful of soda, and enough rice Hour to thicken to a stin batter. Bake in rings. To take grease snots from a floor. mix red clay into a paste spread upon tbe spot thickly; when dry take off and wash with soap suds ; If not all out repeat. irooKors. On the Other HorseI Mr. Filkins is seized and possessed of a respected grandmother aged over one hundred years. At the early age of two years It is firmly believed she gazed upon the face of tbe noble G. W. s During this Centennial year centen narian irrandmothers are quoted far above par, and Fllkins felt a sort of commendable and virtuous priue in me newsnaoer narazraDhs that went around the country referring to the old lady, and coupling nis name witn ners. Filkinsis also the owner of a rapid mare Just fast enough to lose. Recently he desired to sell the animal, for he had his eve on a likely young colt, which he coveted, and wanted to raise money to buy. So he put an advertisement in the village rjaner and calmly waited. One morning as he was busy at his woodpile, two strangers drove up to his gate and rastenea tneir norses. Their vehicle was brilliantly decorated bv the oainters' art, was covered, and bore upon its side the following words: "Great Museum of Centennial Wonders." The smooth-faced man who appeared to be the spokesman, approached Fll kins with "Saw the notice in the paper about your "You did, eh?" said Fllkins. Well, she is a high stepper and no mistake." "Thought we'd see, this being the Centennial year, If we couldn't get her to take to Philadelphia and " "Oh, yes ; you want to trot her out down there, do you f Well, she's a fast one, and no mistake." "Isn't that rather peculiar language to use in speaking of so aged " "Aged! Why, man, what are you talking about. Wipe off your chin V' "Aged ! Why, she's sound in wind, limb and stomach.

How about Hamilton Wash " "Hambletonian t of course she's Ham- bletonlan stock, ber dam " "How's her teeth?" "bound as a dollar; never gets 'off her feed;' eats her four quarts of " "Does she use glasses, Mr. Filkins? Does she smoke or chew ? Will you sell her or only rent her? We'll take her off your hands, and make it an object for you. Of course, the natural feelings of relationship must be considered, but biz is biz, and we will pay cash down for the old " "What In and are you talking about, you bald headed old reprobate?" "Your 100-year-old grandmother, or course ; we want to buy her or rent her for our Great Centennial Museum or Wonders.' We've got an anaconda al ready, a playful little cuss, and a living skeleton who'll be amazing good com pany for the old woman. If you'll rent her for cash, Just trot her out" At this moment the strangers observed that Mr. Filkins was carefully selecting out a large sized club from the pile, and "hefting" it in a threatening man ner. They at once gave up hopes of effect ing a deal, and withdrew in haste, fol lowed bv about a cord and a half of wood beech and maple ; body wood wafted wildly after them by the irate Fllkins. That night an unwonted tenderness was evident in the voice and manner of Mr. Filkins as he tenderly told his be loved and aged old grandparent to "shut her old mouth aud crawl off to bed." Budget of Fun. A lovesick student went out a few nights since to serenade his charming Araminta. The evening was balmy and pleasant and so spring-like that very naturally the young man's fancy lightly turned to thoughts of love. He round the house, plauted himself under her window, touched his light guitar and poured forth his soul in song. A light suddenly appears and his heart is filled with joy. The window is raised and a fair lorm is indistinctly seen. Oh! what bliss ! A voice unmistakably that of the big brother comes down like a falling star, "Move on, young man ! We don't want to buy any nsu!" Rochester Democrat. A tocj-q man who had married a woman with seven sisters and went to live in the family, came out the other day and sadly asked a neighbor whether it was better to cut your strawberry beds bias with inside pleating or Pom padour with nothing but plain insertion.

Xoraick Bulletin. Robert Hall, on a journey, had preached very powerfully at an evening meeting, when another minister in the pulpit with hiin.Gutrldge by name, rose and added some lengthy remarks, very mucn to tne disgust or the audience. After the service, a gentleman in Hall's company made several attempts to elicit his opinion about brother uutridge. Hall evaded the question a long while, but at length said : "Sir, I see you are determined to know what I think about brother Gutridge. I will tell you, sir. I think he was ordained from all eter nity to be a fool, and that this evening he has made his calling aud election sure." : . . Ax absent-minded editor having courted a girl and applied to her father. the old man said : " well, you want my daughter; what sort of a settlement will you maker What will you give her?" "Give her," replied the other, looking up vacantly ; "Oh, I'll give her a puff' "Take her," replied the father. In a suburban school a teacher gave out tbe word "psalter" to a class in spelling. It was a "poser" to all till it reached the foot of the class, when a curly-headed little fellow spelt it cor rectly, and on being asked to aenne it, shouted out, "More salt!" "Why Is it, my dear sir," said Waf fles' landlady to him the other day, ''that you newspaper men never get rich ?" "I do not know," was his re ply, "except it is that dollars and sense do not always travel together." Six and a half feet of a bride stood before the altar in a Paris church tbe other day, and promised to love, cherish and obey three feet and a quarter of bridegroom ; and that is the long anu short of it.

Prof. Daw kins and the Rev. Mr. Wells recently sent a paper to the British Geological Society concerning the traces of man in Robin Hood's cave. It confirms the views of some eminent ireologists among them Sir William Gnise and the Rev. Mr. Simnnds as to the same traces discovered two or three sum mers ago in the Doward Caves, near Monmouth, and particularly so as. re gards one of tlieas known as King Arthur's Hall. In these caves, beneath tbe relative layers of. debris between three stalagmitic floor, which had been blown up, and rising also upon a fourth, were found remains tin excel lent preservation) of the mammoth (in various stages of development), the longhaired rhinoceros, the reindeer, the Irish elk, bison, beaver, hyena, tbe great cave lion, and tbe cave bear. That man was here associated with tbe calf animals was abundantly prov ed by the chipped flints and pebbles, the work of his hand, being found among the remains of the monsters just mentioned, and which were lying side by side with them, sealed up by the same stalagmitic floor. Man evi dently went occasionally for shelter into the older dens used by hyenas as a larder, wherein they kept their prey they bad dragged thither, and there left his handiwork asevidence of thone visits. These caves are now some 300 feet above tbe level of the Wye ; but resting upon tbe lowest stalagmitic floor, mingled with the remains of ex tinct animals and the chipped imple ments of tbe old stone men, were found river silt and sand, and river boulders of the same character as those to be fonnd in the bed of the Wye to-day. These caves, moreover, bore evident traces of the glacial peri od. On the occasion referred to, the Rev. Mr. Symonda concluded an ad dress by saying; "We know absolutely nothing as yet of the lapse of time which separates ns from the cave peri ods, when the old men whose haunts we have visited to-day lived and died. The 'everlasting bills' have moldered and shed vast masses of debris; the climate has changed ; cities rise where flowed the salt sea water : land has be come sea, and brooks ran where rivers ran before; rivers have shrunk in their beds and tbe reindeer and musk ox bave retreated to tbe distant north since the last hyena dragged into the Doward caves his last morU or the last glacier melted among the moun tains of Wales." Fixing Pencil Lines and Colors on Drawinas. W. E. Debenham descrites a method of tiling powder and other colors after they are applied. "I immerse the drawing in or now over it a solution of freshly prepared moist gluten in alcohol, the alcohol to ha it Bfreni?rh of about seventy or eighty per cent, or a solution of gelatin or metagelatin or kindred substance (the word gelatin will oe used here after to include kindred substances). in water, with as much alcohol added as the solution will bear without pre cipitating tbe gelatin. If the solution be not, it win Dear a large addition oi alcohol. It is necessary that the solu tion be very alcoholic, or the colors will run, as they would in an ordinary aqueous solution. The gelatin coating may be rendered insoluble by treat ment with tanDin or chrome alum ; the chrome alum is either added to the gelatin solution itself, or applied se- fiarately, and afterwards exposed to ight. " f o prepare a photograph or draw in? that color mav adhere. I apply either of the alcoholic solution already mentioned, or a snlutionsof glycerin or sugar, or a mixture of any of these: and this preparative liquid should contain fifty per cent or more of alco hol in order that it may penetrate evenly. If tbe work can be colored before being mouuted, as in the case of a photograph to be enameled, I ap ply the preparation liquid to the back of the paper. The alcohol makes it penetrate to the front, and the color is taken in a very even and fine manner. "The fixing solutions are also appli cable to water color, pencil, and crayon drawings; and 1 prefer to employ gluten solution as an aqueous solution of gelatin, if desired, as an additional coat, or for the purpose of attaching it to tbe rollodionized glass in enamel ing. The fixing solution itself may also be used for this latter purpose, and the coloring or touching is not to be disturbed. When it is required that the gluten solution should contain more gluten than the alcohol will take up, 1 evaporate rapidly, but not to pre cioitation. a nortion of the solution. and mix with the remainder." Measuring Instruments. At a late conference held at 'the Kensington Museum Sir J. Whitworth, iu treating of linear measurements a subject be has so thoroughly illustrated, stated that fifty years ago the thousands of spindles used in a cotton factory bad each to be separately fitted into the bolster in which it worked, out mat at present all these spindles were made to guage aud were interchangeable. Sir J. Whitworth said that the founda tion of all accuracy in measurement, was tbe production of a true plane. To show the extreme accuracy in the pro cess of measurement an instrument was exhibited which gave the diner- ences of oue twenty-thousandth of an inch. In a discussion which followed on measurements M. Treses said that it was desirable that instruments shonld be available which would determine thicknesses equal to one-thirtieth of the thread of a cobweb. Sir J. Whit worth has constructed a machine cap able of giving measurements of the one-millionth of an inch. An Englishman has invented an in genious contrivance for keeping the feet warm. He proposes that every man who desires immnnity from the plague of cold feet, shall build oue of his portable heaters in the heel of bis boot and supply it with his patent fuel. A spring iu the instep operates as a bellows aud there's the whole thing in a nutshell, so to speak. The invention does credit to the inventors humane iinnnlses. but we are not sure that it is an unmixed good. A detective flue might cause a conflagration; uir jambes might become overheated and take fire at any time ; or a mischievous stoker might coal up with dynamite, and then there'd be the expense of a new beater, aDd perhaps of a new heel. A man who wears one of these contrivances in wet weather will run the risk of be ing in hot water. The Visible Horizon. A point of some scientific interest was raised lately in England in regard to what was tbe distance as implied by the visible horizon. It was argued that the three-miles limit of territorial waters wasot modern origin, while tbe idea was advanced that by the distance was implied that exact limit which could be reached by a cannon-ball. Three miles being the distance of the offing or visible horizon to a person of six feet, standing on the shore and looking to the sea, it is natural to suppose that, irrespective of gunnery, the distance a man could see is wuai is meant by the visible horizon. To improve India ink for drawing purposes, so that even the thickest lines will dry quickly, add one part of carbolic acid to eight parts of the ink. If. bv mistake, too much be added, the error mav be corrected by adding more ink. If the mixture is properly made the ink is as easy to draw with as it is without the carbolic acid, bnt dries very quickly, and the drawing made with it may even be varnished without damage.

This work is tbe result of not less than thirty-four years of assiduous labor, and contains 84.000 craters and bills, besides over three hundred and fifty rills and other objects. The Blue Color of the Sly and Sea. Tbe blue color of tbe sky and of the sea is satisfactorily proven to be due to tbe presence of exceedingly small particles of matter, that float in the air or water. Hew Taey Hewsaaaersw Uncle Xed first hunts the funny things, then he laughs with a will. Aunt Sue first reads the stories. Then turns to the marriages, deaths, and births. Miss Flora seeks out thene adver tisements to ascertain the newest impor tations in bonnets and kids. Mr. Pleasure seeker turns to the amusement column, and decides which entertainment would afford the greatest pleasure. Miss Prim drops a tear, first over the marriages, then over the deaths, for, says she, "one is as bad as the other." Mr. Politician commences with the editorial, then scans the telegraphic, ending his perusal with the speeches quoted. But why extend the list ? Each indi vidual reads for himself, and if each does not find a column or more to his particular taste, the paper Is insipid, " the -editor lazy and deserving of cen sure. DaaMsile laaatn arias Datea. A Dutch newspaper is a carious illus tration of Dutch character. It is about two-thirds full of advertisements, of which the following are a few examples from a single paper : Marriages occupy a considerable space ; some are simple announcements, others are a nourisn on the part of the espoused "To their friends and acquaintances we, the undersigned, are married." Then come the advices of births, most of which tell the world that the lady has been brought to bed of "a well-shaped" child. Of these, all are signed bv the husband, and they sometimes pour out a flood of affection on the lady, nut tne announce ments of deaths are the most remarka ble : some of them you shall hear. "To day departed, after a sickness often days, my beloved wife. She has left me and her gray-haired mother in a state of despair, neepwitn us, ail who knew her ween with my children They bave yet to learn of their loss, which they will learn too soon." An other. "My deeply-beloved wife died yesterday. She has left me a pledge of love only three weeks old. Bitter is my sorrow." Again, "In my old age sorrow has overtaken me. lesterday evening ray daughter died, aged seven and forty years. Those who knew her will know my grief, and those, too, who knew what she was to me. Iu the comforts of religion I put my trust. Again, "Our brave son is dead. He de parted this life at ." Yet once more, "Our brave daughter is no more. She died last night, aged only twenty What patents feel, who in two-and- twenty weeks have lost their only son and their only daughter, cannot be told by words. Friends or humanity : trou ble us not with your consolations, but shed a tear with us in sympathy." "After a sickness or a few days, my be loved husband died to-day. Deeply af flicted with my six children, I repose iu the hope of his resurrection, and beg to recommend myself for the sale of coffee, tea. and such matters, to the general satisfaction." A Sfraase atary. A curious Incident is reported in the American papers. About ten years ago a Jew in straightened circumstances left Transylvania lor America to im prove bis position in the Xew World. He left a wife and several children be hind, and promised that as soon as it was within his means, he would send them some money from America. There fortune smiled on him. and when he had amassed a sum of 60,000 florins he resolved to return home and surprise bis family with his wealth. He started without apprising his family ol his in tended return, and on his way home he arrived at Hamburg where he was siezed with so dangerous an illness that he made a will bequeathing all his property to his wile. He recovered, however, only to find that during his illness his money had been stolen from him by a man who nursed him. A few benevolent persons, sympathising with his misfortune, collected about one hundred florins, wherewith the unfor tunate Jew re3olved to return to Ameri ca and retrieve his fortunes. In the meantime the nurse had decamped with his booty to America, where, shortly after his arrival, he died suddeuly. The American authorities sent the coffin, with the 60,000 florins, to Tran sylvania, and, as the will was also found in tbe coffin, the authorities at the same time acquainted the relatives with the death oi the testator. After the usual period of mourning, the wife con tracted a second marriage. The first husband had, however, again saved a considerable sum of money, and event ually returned to his native bind to find his wife married to another man. The event had caused a great sensation in the neighborhood, and it is stated that a conference of rabbis is about to be held to determine which of the two husbands the woman belongs to. Jewish World. The alek Caansber. Health and the sun Lave been always sung and praised. We will now cele brate sickness and shade, we will eel bra te tbee, bodily sickness, when thou layest thy hand on the head and heart of man, aud sayest to the sufferings of his spirit. "Enough : luou art called on earth an evil ; ah, how often art thou a good, a healing balsam, under whose benign influence the soul rests after its hard struggles and its wild storms are still ! More than once hast thou pre vented suicide and preserved from mad ness. The terrible, the bitter words which destroy the heart are by degrees obliterated during the feverish dreams of illness; the terrors which lately seemed so near ns are drawn away into the distance ; we forget, God be thanked, we forget and when at last we arise with exhausted strength from the sick bed, our souls often awake as out of a long night into a new morning. So many things, during the illness of the body, conspire to soften the feelings; the still room, the mild twilight through the window-curtains, the low voices, and then, more than all, the kind words of those who surrouud us; their atten tion, their solicitude, perhaps a tear in their eyes; all this does us good, does us essential good. And when the wise Solomon enumerated all the good things which have their time upon the earth, he forgot to celebrate sickness among the rest, Bremer's President's Daughter. Dark Ways ef Paris Iu aadlstee. Some of the dark ways of Parisian modistes are exposed by a Paris corres pondent, who says that recently an American lady sent to a fashionable dressmaker two dresses to be remodelled, one a black velvet ball dress, which was simply to be re trimmed with lace and jet, and the other was a black silk walk ing dress to be made over entirely, ine dresses were sent home In due course of time. The black silk was handsome ly remade, and was trimmed profusely with velvet, for which a high price was charged in the bill, Tbe ball dress looked all right, but when it was tried on the skirt was found to be strangely shrunken from its original full dimen sions. On examination it was discov ered that by dint of ingenious piecing and goring, the velvet needed for the walking dress had been abstracted from the ball dress, which was of course ruined by the process. The lady, there fore, bad been forced not only to pay for ber own velvet, but to compensate the rascally dressmaker for spoiling a costly dress.

T., May 22, '72. Messrs. Seth W. Fowle & Sons : Gentlemen I was troubled with dys pepsia for thirty years, and tried seve ral medicines advertised for the cure of this distressing complaint without de riving any benefit from them. About a year ago I commenced taking the Peruvian Syrup, and after using alto gether twelve bottles I find myself en tirely cured. I consider my case one of tbe worst I ever beard of, and I take great pleasure in recommending the Peruvian Strup to all dyspeptics, be lieving that it will be sure to cure them. Yours respectfully, J. T. Bowex. Sold by all Druggists. cheaek'a Sea Weed Teale. In the atmosphere experienced here during the summer mouths, tbe leth argy produced by the heat takes away the desire for wholesome food, and fre quent perspirations reduce bodily en ergy, particularly those suffering from the effects of debilitating diseases. In order to keep up a natural healthful ac tivity of the system, we must resort to artificial means. For this purpose scnencK s sea n eea ionic is very ef fectual. A few doses will create an ap petite and give fresh vigor to the ener vated body. For dyspepsia, it is inval uable. Many eminent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be per manently cured by the drugs which are generally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic in its nature is to tally different from such drugs. It con tains no corrosive minerals or acids; in fact it assists the regular operations of nature, and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its nature so much resem bles the gastric juice that it is almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice is the natural solvent which, in a healthy condition of the body, causes the food to be digested ; and when this juice is not excreted in sufficient quan-, tides, indigestion, with all its distress-' ing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient. Scheurk's Sea Weed Tonic sold by all EcONOMY IS THE ROAD TO WEALTH.
