SCIENTIFIC. Making Canras Waterproof. The re ripe ueed by Mr. Berthon to render the canvas of his collapsing boat airproof and waterproof, and believed to be sim ilar to that used in the English dock yards for hammock cloths, in as follows : To six ouus of hard yellow soap add one and a half pints of water, and when boiling, add five jiounds of ground spruce ochre, one-hall pound of patent driers, and five pounds of boiled linseed oil. For waterproofingsheets.theochre should be omitted, as it adds to the weight, lessens the flexibility, and is unnecessary. Existing coverings are- made tcnijKjrarily airproof and water proof by preparations of India-rubber, oil, paint, etc. Fabrics coated with preparation of India-rubber are not proof against the ellecu of climate or rough usage, are not easily retired, and compared with those coated with the Chinese and other preparations, are very heavy, and if of the same dimen sions exeiisive. The recipe for wa terproofing" stout calico, used by the liinc-e, is given by the late Mr. 1. Neve Foster, in his recent report on life-saving apparatus in the "Journal" f the Society of Arts. He states that it is perfectly eliicieiit, alike in the hottest and coldest climates, is believed to be composed of boiled oil one quart, soft soap one (mice, and beeswax one ouni-e; the whole boiled until reduced to three-quarters of its previous quan tity : but experiments are requirea 10 test satisfactorily the above propor tions.

The fact, as stated by a conteuiorary on exert authority that thirty-six million pairs ot lane, colored stockings are made, imported sold and worn in the L lilted htates 1 twelve mouths shows what a firm foot ing vanity has secured on our soil '1 here might not be any great objection to this, orovided no evil enects lot lowed the indulgence In this attractive article of dress; but the startling fact is made known that the wearers of these stockings often subject themselves to a process of slow iioisouing wind affects the skins, undermines tlieircon stitutious, and if not discontinued strikes at their lives. In short, the dyes used in producing the more showy colors are made from noisouous matter and are no doubt perilous to health and sometimes to life. It is alleged that the poisonous dves are to be found 1 the goods imported from France, and that our American-made goods are harmless; but we should desire to hav tiie testimony of others than our own manufacturers on that point, roisoii- ous dyes are cheaper than others that is to sav, they produce more brilliant colors at less "cost. It is alleged that our market is flooded w itb this object ionable article, and that they are mainly found among the cheap fancy Hock-' certainly the matter is of sum ient importance to demand inquiry mil action. The 'mention as to the best method of preserving meat for food is a verv im portant one, both from an industrial and sanitary point of view. Some time ago boras was represented to be an ex cellent preservative when meat steeped in a solution of it, or when it is liowdcred and sprinkled over the meat. Borax does prevent decay When so applied to animal food, but 31. t I.e lion insists that when food is eaten and the borax taken, as it must be, iu small successive uoses, poisonous re sults ensue. Moreover, he maintains that all saline substances whatever should be discontinued jn preserving food, because they deprive it of its liu trlcious projierties, and he advocates the use of cold alone in keeping perish able fool troiu decay and its alimentary value unimpaired. Wine Urtcl by the taste and by them ical analysis gives very diflerent re sults. lrs. E. Math and 1'atele have found that often varieties which are pronounced light are in reality rich in alcohol, and that others which seem mild to the palate are strongly acid In accounting for these apparent con tradictions, these "chemists say that wine is a most complicated liquid, am that the substances ot which it is com posed are bv no means all known Even among the most prominent and lest recognized ingredients, it is not so much the quantity of one or the other as their relative proportion which determines the flavor. The medical faculty of Home have asserted that Ocsolpinus described the capillary vessels as connecting the ar teries with the veins; but that was im possible w ithout the aid of the micros- coie, which Cornelius llreboel.

"Take that and go to the store and get five gallons of varnish," said a boss painter to a new apprentice. "This note will tell him wnat you want," ' added he, handing him a folded piece of iaer. When the boy came back, the em ployer had gone out, and a waggish jour took the can, smelt it and said "Boy didn t the boss tell vou to bring varnish ?" "Yes, sir." "Well take this right back, and tell the one who gave it to you that this is 'knot varuish.' " The boy went, and related what the jour requested him. "Ul course it is "knot varnish,' " re plied the man with a smile. "Well, sir, please give me varnish, then," said '-greeny." "Why this is varnish." returned the man frowning. "But you said uist now It was not varnish, sir. "So it is 'knot varnish' "returned the man angrily, and walked away. The boy was In a dilemma; he knew not what to do and was about going back to the shop empty handed, w hen to his relief, his employer entered the store. "Well, why do you loiter here" asked he, in displeasure. The boy explained the matter as he understood it. The boss took the cork out cf the can, studied at the mouth and said : "This is 'knot varnish.' " "jo 1 told him, sir," said the boy, with brightening face, "and after tell ing me it was varnish then saying it was not varnish, he walked away and I was just going out as you came in." A luminous smile overspread .the face of the 'boss' and he said to his ap prentice : "It Is all right. This is varnish and It Is 'knot varnish. Take it to the ahop, and if you can't understand it, just ask the man who sent you back with it. He'll explain it to your satis faction." lie had it all explained to him on his return to the paint shop, and for many a day after, he was reminded of it. He knows what 'knot varnish' is now. j AGBICCLTCBE. Fiocres roic Farmers. Arithmetic Is much more necessary to a farmer than to many others, for as bis resour ces are not so many, or so lucrative perhaps, as the tradesman or merchant, so much the more need is there that he should be safe in his calculations. Yet we will ask you how many farmers practice anything like strict calcula tions? How many potatoes did you raise? w hy 1 dou't know exactly, 1 guess lour or live hundred bushels. How much corn did you raise? Why nity or sixty bushels. How much bay did you cut? Whv fifteen or twenty jags. How much milk does your cow give? why she gives a pailful night and morn ing, uch are the answejs which you will, nine times in ten, get from tar mers, if you put the same questions Sow what exactness, or real definite knowledge is there in such statements? The Dutch have a proverb that he who keeps books seldom fails. That is, tie who keeps his accounts correctly, and is arithmetically certain what his in come and outlays are who knows the cost of his property, whatever it may be the expenses attending, and the amount on hand, will at once loresee evil and ward off the danger. Farmers should practice this particula-ly, for as their real progt on many of theirar- tides of produce is small, and the ex penses attending the feeding and rear ing many kinds of stock are large, it is absolutely necessary that they should know the exact cost, iu or ler to bhape their course, and fix their prices. At tempting to do business without this precaution, is like navigatiug the ocean witnoui a coinpas. lou may creep along, by the shore and the help or ilie stars a lucky wind may w ait you to the desired port; but there is no cer tainty about it, and if the cloud hides the planets, you are lost, aud perhaps wrecked. Let those who have been in the practice of applying arithmetic to their agricultural pursuits continue the practice ; and let those who never have, begin immediately. Honey Locust for Hedges. The secret of success, in hedge-growing of any kind, is well directed care and at tention during the first three or four years, and if this be given to honey locust it will make a hedge every time. The plants must be good ones, vigorous and thrifty and should be about the same size ; at least, put all of the same size together, and not plant small and large ones promiscuously. Before set ting make the ground along the line rich aud mellow. After setting out, the rows must be cultivated and kept clean until the hedge is matured or fin ished. Let the plauts grow the first year undisturbed and then cut them down wit hin three inches of the ground, the second year, seven inches from the ground; third year, twelve inches; fourth year, one foot and a half; fifth year, twenty-five inches; sixth year, thirty-three inches; and the seventh year, height desiped for fence. This tikes seven years, but the fence is good after the fourth year. Harness Gall- -It is a cruel thing to work a horse that has a sore neck worn raw by a badly fitting collar. In putting horses that have been compara tively idle during winter to the hard work of the plow and the harrow , pain ful and unsightly sores are often caused which unless cared for at once, prove of long standing, permanently disfig uring me animal, w hen the abrasion first appears, give the horse a day or two rest. It is better to do this even if important work is somewhat delayed. Chloride of zincdiluted with fifty parts of water and applied with a soft sponge is a good astringent, serving to harden and toughen the skin. But after all, the best way to prevent galling is to have the collar, aud every part of the harness, touching the horse, a perfect fit. Keep it well oiled aud pliable. Then inure the animal to hard work gradually and kindly. Food FonYorxG Chicks. For young chicks much sour lood is not bcreficial. neither is meal just wet. It should be scalded, and the doughj stirred as it cools. Any stint during the first six weeks dwarfs the fowl, and consequent ly gives a blow to nature from which it seldom recovers. Kaw corn meal swells and sours in the crop, and caus es indigestion, which is one of the worst diseases that attacks fowls. It causes rheumatism, chicken cholera. and, very frequently, death. Kapid growth prevents the gapes, and free dom iroui vermin and substantial food also promote this. To make a cheap pork barrel, buy ; coal-oil barrel; knotk one head in take a bunch of old hay. set lire to it and throw it in the barrel; let it burn until tne staves begin to burn; put it out uy turning the barrel upside down scrape the coals on, and you have . good, sweet barrel. The Vatican. This phrase is often used, but there are many that do not understand its im port. It refers to a collection of build ings on one ot the seven hills of Rome which coyer a space of 12(10 feet in length, and one thousand feet in breadth. It is built on the spot once occupied by the garden of cruel Xero. It owes its origin to the Bishop of Rome, who, in the early part of the sixth century, erected an humble resi dence on its site. About the year 11C0 Pojie Eugenius rebuilt it on a magnifi cent scale. Innocent II., a few years afterwards, gave it up as a lodging to Peter II.. King of Aragon. In 1303. Clement V., at the instigation of the King of France, removed the Papal See from Rome to Avignon, when the Vat- icau remained in a state ot obscurity for more than seventyyears. But soon after the return of the Pontifical Court to Rome, an event which had been earnestly prayed for by poor Petrarch, and which finally took place in 13GT the Vatican was put into a state of re pair, again enlarged, and it was thence forth considered as the regular palace andiesidence of the Popes, who, one after another added fresh buildings to it, and gradually enriched it with an tiquitics, statues, pictures and books, until it tecame the richest depository in the w orld. The library of the Vat ican was commenced 1,400 years ago It contains 40,000 manuscripts, among which are some by Pliny, St. Thomas, St. Charles Borromeo, and many He brew, Syrian, Arabian and Armenian Bibles. The whole, of . the immense buildings composing the Vatican are filled up with statues found beneath the ruins of ancient Rome; with paint ings by the masters, and with curious medals and antiquities of almost every description. When it is known that more than 70,000 statues have been exhumed from the ruined temples and palaces of Rome, the reader can form some idea of the riches of the Vatican. It will ever be held in veneration by the student, the artist and the scholar. Raphael and Michael Angelo are en throned there, and their throne will be as enduring as the love of beauty and genius in the hearts of their wor shippers. A man to be a success must not be a pure idealism, but he must have ideas. He does not want to be sun-dazzled or sun-blind, but he must keep him from 1 1.1 l w . . . .. kuocking niiuseii against tne wan. DOMESTIC. Beactifyixq Homes. Now is the time that housekeepers should improve In beautifying their homes. Mv little article is not written for those who live in homes of luxury. But all over the hills and valleys of this land are humble homes whose inmates hare just as great a love for the beautiful, and it Is to these my hints are written Mothers, whose days are spent in busy household cares, or pat'ently following after the little feet that run into so much mischief, be not discouraged When the little ones beg for something to do, let them work. A little cardboard with a needle and bright yarn, or even a piece of hard soap, with a hammer aud carpet tack, is a great relief. Their little minds have got to be busied i some way. Christ, tells us to be faith ful in little things; and for everythin that we do to make our homes pleas anter or its inmates happier, we shall receive a reward in the bright faces around us. By many little things w can make our rooms pleasanter. W can all have rag carpets; but, if w save all bright pieces of woolen cloth and make cushions and rugs of various designs, some of which I will give, with an improvement. Cut round pieces of three colors, and sew them together with coarse white thread in flannel stitch. Then arrange them on a heavy cloth in the form of diamonds or squares, according to colors, and you have a rug useful and pretty Another : Cut your colors like carpet rags; then with a coarse hook draw the rags through coarse canvas or burlap, like the worsted tidies. This is more work, but when done is beautiful saw one of the design of which a deer was lying down. If you have engrav ings that want frames, make them of still' pasteboard or pine. Wet the front side w ith glue, then place a black cord in the middle in the form of a vine, and with melon or citron seeds put on the form of grain; leaves, and peas in the shape of bunches of grapes, the re mainder of the frame covered with grass seed, and then stained black or brown, you will have a good imitation of leather work. Or simply putting glass over the picture, then paste blac cambric over the edge, with a little gilt paper to relieve it, is quite pretty Every one is familiar with the frames of cigar-lighters, tor brackets, card receivers and fruit baskets, gather up all the old hoop-skirts. Strip off the covering, then bend them in any shape you please. Tie them fast with strong thread, lie on all the raisin sterns you can fiud. Then melt a quantity of beeswax. I'ut in a little resin to harden it, and some vermillion to color it red Then hold your work over the dish and dip the preparation over it, and you will have handsome coral work. vou wish bouquets for your vases gather the diflerent kinds of grasses when in blossom. Dry in a dark room aud with grains aud the wild everlast vou will be surprised at their beauty, Every one admires beds draped in whit !, and for those who have not time for the home-made counterpanes of muslin with cotton yarn drawn in pat tern, very good ones are made of bleached drilling. And with all the rest, do not forget yourself. With your hair smooth, dress neat, a knot of bright ribbon or cluster of flowers at your throat, a bright smile on your face, what can better make your hus band forget the cares and trials of the day than the thoughts of a happy home. with such a presiding angel over all Womes never think ! If the crabbed old bachelor who uttered this sentiment could but witness the intense thought, deep study and thorough investigation of women in determining the best medi cines to keep their families well; and would note their sagacity and wisdom in selecting Hop Bitters as tho best and demonstrating it by keeping their fami lies in perpetual health, at mere nominal expense, he would be forced to acknowledge that such sentiments are baseless and false. Early Rising. Of all apparently in nocent habits, lying in bed is perhaps the worst. Amidst all the diflerent habits through which people have at tained to a long life, it is said that in tins one resjiect, and this only, they have all agreed. -N o very long-lived man has been a late riser. Hair Invigorator. Bay rum, one pint; alcohol, one-half pint; castor-oil one-half ounce; carbonate of ammonia, one-quarter ounce; tincture of can tha rides, one-half ounce; mix them well This mixture will promote the growth of the hair and prevent it from falling out. ForCholera Infantum. The whites of two eggs, well beaten; then mix with pure water, add one tablespoonful of orange-flower water and a little sugar; a tablespoonful every hour. It will cure the worst case of cholera in fantum, the egg coating the bowels. "I don't want that stuff" is what a lady of Boston said to her husband when he brought home some medicine to cure her of sick headache and neu ralgia which had made her miserable for fourteen years. At the first attack thereafter. It was administered to her with such good results, that she con tinued iu use until cured, and made so enthusiastic In Its praise, that she in duced twenty-two of the best families in her circle to adopt it as their regular family medicine. That "stuff" is Hop Bitters. Colored velvet stands for dishes are used when it is thought best to make the dinner table look unusually fine. The beauty of a man's parting his hair in the middle appears to be that it gives both ears an equal chance to flap. The Blind Mare and Her Foal. Here is an instance of "instinct" which shows, I think, that there is no difference whatever between the rea son of animals and that of man. A mare here had her first foal when she was 10 or 12 years old. She was blind of one eye. The result was that she frequently trod npon the foal, or knock ed it over when it happened to be on the blind side of her, in consequence of which the toal die J when it was three or four weeks old. The next year she bad another foal; and we fully expected the result would be the same, llut no; from the day it was born she never moved iu the stall with out looking round to see where the foal was, and she never trod upon it or in jured it in any way. You see that rea son did not teach her that she was kil ling her first foal; her care for the second was the result of memory, imag ination and thought, after the foal was 'ead aud before the next one was birn. The only difference that lean see be tween the reasoning power of men and animals, is that the latter is applied on ly to the very limited sphere of pro viding for their bodily wants, whereas that of men embraces a vast amount of other objects besides this. The above limitation does not, I think, apply strictly to domestic animals, dogs es pecially, which seem to acquire some perceptions beyond mere animal ones.

We heard of a rather amusing reply giveu recently at a ball by an Ameri can girl in London society, who had strayed away from the ball-room.

She succeeded to the crown on the 20th of Jue, 1837, but was not crowned for a year and a week afterwards. Egbert, the first kin.? of all England, ascended the throne in 82 rxsctly 1,010 years before Queen Victo ria's accession. Ofail the sovereigns of England George III. reigned the longest, nearly 60 years, from 1760 to 1820. His later years, as is well known, were clouded with insanity. He reign ed but did not rule. Henry VI If reigned SO years, from 1327 to 1377. Q ieen Elizabeth reigned 43 years, from 1553 to 1603. And should Queen Vic toria die at the present moment, her reign would rank alter that of Eliza betb that is, the fifth in length in ten centuries and a half. Tne combined length of tbe reigns of these five sov ereigns is 251 years that is, a llttl less than one-fourth of the whole peri od. It is well known that the queen's health baa been anything but robust for some years past. Tbe shock caused by the death of the Princess Alice, to whom her majesty was tenderly at tached, may have a disastrous eflec' The queen may survive her a miction and she may, and we hope she will live on for years to come, but then she may not. Her health may give way at any moment. And what then? The prince of Wales would ascend the throne without an outbreak. The re publican movement in England may not be dead, but it is sleeping soundly. Bradlaugh is attending to his numerous lawsuits, while OJger Is dead, and his "mat , who were never going to per mit the easy-going prince to ascend the throne, would be powerless even to protest. The prince has outgrown many of his youthful follies. There would be a fresh outburst of loyalty on his accession. But it would be a little singular to see what part he would take in the development of personal gov ernment to which the energies of the Earl of Beaconsfield have been devoted since the conservatives came into pow er. That a man In tbe prime of life would not be as plastic in the bands of Beaconsfield ai an estimable lady, who holds aloof from tbe world and per haps is easily flattered, is certain But a king likes to govern as well as reign, and we may be certain that a public tflicer, whether king or constable, will not be apt to quarrel with any one aiming at magnifying his office. Strength of Insects. The following are striking illustra tions of the superhuman strength with which the commonest insects are en dowed. The common flea, as every one knows will, without much appar ent effort, jump two hundred times its own length, and several grasshoppers and locusts are said to perform leaps quite as wonderful. In the case of the insect they scarcely excite our notice but if a man were coolly to tike i standing leap of three hundred and eighty odd yards, which would be an equivalent exertion of muscular power perhaps our admirers of athletic sports might be rather startled at such a per lormance. Again, for a man to run ten miles w ithin the hour would bead in it ted to be a tolerably good display of pedestrianism ; but what are we to say to the little fly observed by Mr. Delise so minute as almost to be invisible, which ran nearly six inches in a second and in that space was calculated to have made one thousand tnd eighty steps! This according to calculation, is as it a man whose steps measured only two feet, should run at the incred ible rate of twenty miles in a minute Equally surprising are the instances of insect strength given by Mr. Newport The great stag-beetle, which tears off the bark from the roots and branches of trees, has been known to gnaw hole, an inch in diameter, through the side of an iron canister in which he was confined, and on which the marks of his jaws were distinctly visible.
