SCATTEKKO TBRASI!KE.
In ths natural way of things the leaves de
cay where they fall, and thus return to the
earth more of organic matter than the tree
takes from it. In cultivation we do not al
low things to go on in their natural way, but
with some portions of earth to be tin natu
rally fertile, and we accumulate manures.
Besides, in our civilization we have* certain
ideas of neatness with which fallen leaves
eontlict. and we gather tbem op because they
have a slovenly look that offends us Kvery
leaf should be saved, and if not allowed to
decay and enrich the ground where it falls, it
should be made to do good service elsewhere.
In our country towns and villages, so gener
ally planted with shade trees, the crop of
leaves is blown about and usually goes to
waste. The careful gardener will be on the
look out for these "scattered treasures, and
gather them all for preservation, (lathering
the autumn leaves is excellent work for chil
dren, and men and women not
be ashamed of it, for it is merely accepting
one of the gifts oCa bountiful Providence.
Leaves are nature's own winter mulch for
the wild flowers of the Woods, and we can
have nothing better for our beds and borders.
For bulbs and all herbaceeous plants, straw
berries. and all things requiring a winter cov
ering, the otherwise wasted" leaves will be
found most usrfftl. Ther. when we come to
make hot-beds in early spring, they serve to
mix with manure in the proportion of one
fourth to one-half, and make a better heating
material than manure alone. And after hav
ing served this purpose, their vitality is not
exhausted. The old heating material, mixed
manure and leaves, thoroughly rotted, makes
a manure that every gardener knows the val
ue of. Save the leaves then, there is money
in them.
ABOUT ALKALIES AND ACIDS.
These two words occur so frequently in
every day life, that a few explanations of
theui will be acceptable to the unscientific
reader. —ALKALIES. —Potash and Soda are
familiar examples of alkalies-. When pure
they have a strong caustic or butn'i.u taste.
They dissolve readily ifi water, and also
unite with oil or prr-ase. W afcr and oil will
not unite together, but put some alkali with
them and (his will take hold of each and j
bring them together, as in making soup.
The strongest and most common alkalies
are Potash, Soda, and Ammonia or Harts
horn. Ammonia is a powerful alkali, but
as we usually see it, it is dissolved in a large
amount of water. There are other alkalies
and many alkaloids, that is vegetable, sub
stances that have alkaline properties, such as
quina, morphia, strychnia, etc. Then there
are alkaline earths, as they are called. Lime
is one of these, which when newly burned,
is very caustic. Magnesia is another. Lime
and magnesia, and especially lime, arc use
ful in many cases as alkalies. As an alkali
is often wanted, sometimes in haste to neu
tralize an acid, as explained below, the un
scientific reader will remember the five most
common alkaline substances, by the initials
PSAL3I, standing for Potash, Sotla, Am
monia, Lime, Magnesia.
ACIDS. —The word acid means sour, and
most of the common acids are very sour to
the taste. Ascetic acid, or vinegar, when
pure is intensely sour, and would destroy
the flesh, but good strong vinegar contains
only sor fi parts acid dissolved in 100 parts
of water. Sulphric acid, commonly called
"oil of vitrol," is one of the strong acids.
A drop of this in a pint of water will make
it taste sour. Nitric acid, called acqua-for
tis, is another of the strong acids. So is
hydro-chloric acid, commonly called
muriatic acid, or spirit of salt. Then we
have citric acid, the sour of lemon juice ;
malic acid, the sour of apple juice ; tartaric
acid, the sour in grapes and some other
fruits ; lactic acid, the sour formed in milk,
etc., as common examples. We generally
say when anything becomes sour, that it is
ascid-i-fied. Almost all rcids when strong,
are injurious to the flesh, and poisonous if
swallowed, but when greatly diluted with
water, they are frequently tonic or strength
ening. Some fruits are for this reason oftcu
useful, and generally healthful, if well
mashed or masticated so as to be easily
digested. Vinegar is much used with
some kinds of food to aid in their digestion,
but too much of it injures and weakens the
stomach, and it is not advisable for constant
use.— Carbonic acid is very abundant, but
we never see it alone, because when not com
bined with something else, it always takes a
gas or air-like form. It is produced wher
ever any vegetable substances, as coal, wood
oil, etc, are burned, It- is this acid that
bubbles up in soda water, and gives it a
sourish taste. It is carbonic acid that fills
the little interstices or air-holes that make
bread, cake, batter, etc., light. It unites
with potash to form saleratus, with lime to
make limestone, chalk, or marble.
The acids and alkalies unite together, and
usually destroy each other's acrid proper
ties, forming what are termed "salts." Thus
strong sulphric acid (oil of vitrof) unites
with the powerfully caustic soda, and forms
the mild compound known as Glauber salts
(sulphrate of soda.) So also when this pow
erful oil of vitrol which eats into the flesh
and even chars wood, is united with the in
tensely caustic fresh lime, the two neutral
ize each other's properties, and form the
mild, tasteless sulphrate of lime, (gypsum
or Plaster,) which we sow on land, and use
in making casts, cornices and ornaments on
plastered walls, etc. Acqua-fortis (nitric
acid), as powerful as it is to destroy the
flesh, and to dissolve metals, when untied
with caustic lime, make a compound as mild
as plaster, and when nnited with potash
makes salpetre. Soda put in acid or soured
batter neutralizes the acid formed. One
practical lesson to be learned from the above
is, that when trouble results from the acci
dental or over use of either an acid or alkali,
it is to be counteracted by applying the
other. For example, if an acid is acciden
tally swallowed, follow it as quickly as possi
ble with some alkali, —as a weak solution of
potash or soda, or lime water. A strong so
lution of soap swallowed freely, is the best
common remdy. The effects of potash,
soda, lime, strong soap, etc., upon the
hands, are neutralized by a weak wash of
any acid, as acetic acid (vinegar.) Acid
spilled upon the the be
quickly neutralized with potasb f wda, am
monia, or lime water* j

The Grover and Baker Elastic-Stitch sewing
aro superior to all others for the follow ■
in-: reasons :
1. They sew direct from tha spools, and require
no rewinding of thread.
2. They are more easily understood and used,
and Ic-s liable to derangement than other ma
chines.
3. They are capable of executing perfectly,
without change of adjustment, a much greater
variety ' f work than other machines.
1. The stitch made by these machines is much
Hi' re lirtn, elastic, and durable, especially upon
articles which require to he washed and ironed,
than any other stitch.
a. Ihis stitch, owing to the manner in which
the under thread is inwrought, is much the most
plump and beautiful in us-, and retains this
plumpness and beauty even upon articles frequent
ly washed aud ironed until they are worn out.
il. The structure of the seam is sueh that,
though it be cut or broken at intcrrals of only a
few stitches, it will neither open, run, or ravel,
but remains firm and durable.
7. Unlike other machines, these fasten both
ends of the seam by their own operation,
8. V. ith these machines, while silk is used upo'
the right or face side of the seam, cotton may •
used upon the other side without lessening th*
strength or durability of the seam. This can he
done on other machine, and is a great saving
upon all articles stitched or lqade up with silk.
These machines, in addition to their superior
merits as instruments for sewing, by a change of
adjustment, easily learned aud practiced, execute
the most beautiful and permanent embroidery and
ornamental work.
