Nearly twenty yours ago the writer ! remembers turning with a smile to others who shrank and cried at the ; peals of a terrible storm in a country j house. Tlie glare of a bolt coming ('.own ; tlie center ol Uie room caujjlit the eye , at that try instant ; the next there was an explosion that shook the house, and : insensibility followed. Two men in the ; saint' room were burned by tlie bolt, j though no lives were lost, but I have ! iievfr been able to smile at lightning i cilice. To give any iilea of the terror felt on a nervous organization by the .shock wouM involve extravagance of , terms. 1 5ut, unfortunately, so far from being 1 an exception, there are too many who j suffer the same harra-ini nts w ith me. ; Nor are women alone subject to this ; nervousiu js. 1 knew a school sii'ierin tei ilent and canal contractor, a man over titty, with a large family, who ' would hide in a closet in a storm, and ! had been known to rush from his bed ' willi flight at lightning. Many will re- '. member the professor of l'owdoin col- ; lege, who always retreated to the cellar in a thunder storm, although hid house ' was bristling with lightning-rods. The ; strongest man I ever knew, who could i throw another man across the street, and work a hand-press in a printing of- : lice as if he were part of the machine, was discharged as a re-HUter because!iis desk was vacant every time there was a thmnk'r-storm. The mother of Wash ington was afraid -n I'.gntning. ami nev -or failed to retreat to her room at the ' first llasli of a storm where she stayed i till the last Hash died away. Thephysi- ! cai effects of this fear was most depress- ; ing. One woman knows when a storm is coming hours before by a prostration of strength and spirits, accompanied j with symptoms like cholera. One of , the most dauntless young w omen I know i w as sick in bed for hours alter the storm j at Springfield, Mass., last year. She j had received a shock of lightning years before and never fails to be ill in athun- ; der-storm ever since. j Keasonand study of the laws of light- j iiing have done much to lessen the fears of it. It is true wo live lietween two magazines of electricity one in the j earth and the oilier in the air and a cloud charged with electricity passing . over a point or body in the negative con- ditioa will discharge its surplus by the i very quickest and most congenial me- ! dium, w hich it finds in the human body ' ii tree or house indifferently. i5ut it is i also true that, provide the lightning : with a convenient and easy conductor, j in the shape of a stout iron rod higher j than any point of a house and reaching will into the ground, where electricity may scatter harmlessly into the damp eart h, it will prefer that conducting rod to anything in its vicinity, and people j who stay indoors in a well-protected j house are safer from lightning than any bomb-proof from bursting shells. Every j acc;dcnt from this cause I ever knew of came from careless exposure in situa- j tions known to bo unsafe. The lirst I j noticed after my own accident was that j of a missionary's daughter, who va.t killed while pa-sing an o'en window, I just as p woman was on Long Island 1 last summer while sitting at her sewing j machine. A young man in Maiden, 1 think, was killed v. I i'e silt ing on a ioreh Willi his ehair tiiyd back and his head ; against the knob id" a door-bell, making ; an excellent connection with the bell i wire. Many men have been struck ' while ruling into a barn o.i a load of hay. Many will remember the frightful calam- ; ity at Scrantoii. lVnn., where a party , of women, out pick:ng 1 rries on one of j tin.' high hills, crowded into a deserted ' log hut in a sudden sdorm. and seven , wire hilled by one bolt. Sleep hills : with mineral eins cropping out are not places for persons to live on who wish ; to escape lightning, and unprotected houses there are doubly dangeious. It is never too son. to go in the. house when a s'.orm is rising. When the! clouds are fully charged with elect ricity . they are ino-l ihiiig.-roiis, mid the Jluid obeys a subtile attraction which acts at ; groat distances and in all din clions. A I woman told me ot a bolt which came down her mothir's efcimnev from a lis- ing o! II 1 V llvii A'. 1 who v. the sun was shin l:g cvcrhc;id. voiing ir i i .

Now that the summer season is on us, ;t may not be uninteresting to the rea der to learn something about the origin and manufactureof Panama hats. This is given by Dr. Socman, in an interest ing article on the vegetation of the Isth mus of Panama, in the Jmnud of Jiotanit. An indigenous production, he says, de serving of especial notice, is the "Jipi japa'' (Carlwl.ovica pfihnata, It. and I'.), a palm-like plant, of whose unexpanded leaves the far-famed "Panama hats" are plaited. This siecios of (, lwloctn is distinguished from all others by being terrestrial, never climbing, and bearing fan - shaped leaves. The leaves are froin d - . - , f.mrftifin ft liiorli and thor l:ini- ina about four feet across. The snathe moears toward the end of the dry sea- ! son. in February and March. In the Isthmus the plant is called "l'ortorico,"' and also "Jipijapa." but the J.Uter ap jiellation is the more common, and is diffused all along the coast as far as Peru and Chili; while in Ecuador a whole district derives its name from it. The plant is common in Panama and Darien, esjiecially in half shady places, but its geographical range is by no means confined to them. It is found all along the western shores of 2s"ew Granada and Ecuador ; and has boon found even at Salango. whore, however, it seems to reach its most southern limit, thus ex tending over twelve degrees of latitude from north to south. The Jipijapa, or Panama hats, are principally manufac tured in Veratiuasand "Western Panama Not all, however, known in commerce by that name are plaited in the Isthmus ; by far a greater proiortion being made in Manta, Monte Christ i, ami other parts of Ecuador. The hats are worn almost in the whole American continent ! o..." tlie ot Tncliocs mid would nrnh.ilil v i I HUM L 1 I V- ' I . . .. .. ...... . . - ..... . . i oe eoually used in Euroie did not their i ! high price (varying from $2 to S150) ! prevent their importation., ihey are distinguished from ail others by consist ing only of ,i single piece, and by their lightness and flexibility. They may be rolled up and put into the itocket with out injur-. In the rainy season they are apt to get Llack, but by washing with soap and water, lx-smearing theiu with lime juice, or any other acid, and exposing them to the sun, their white ness is easily restored. .So little is known about these hats, that it may not be out of place to give an account of their man ufacture. The "straw" (paja), previous to plaiting, lias to undergo several pro cesses. The leaves are gathered before they unfold, all their ribs and coarser veins removed, and the rest, without be ing separated from the base of the leaf, is reduced to Mireds. After having leen exposed to the sun for a day, and tied into a knot, the straw is immersed in boiling water until it becomes white. It is then hung up in a shady place, and subsequently bleached for two or three days. Tlie straw is now ready for use, and in this state sent to different places, especially to Peru, where the Indians manufacture from it those beautiful ci gar cases, which sometimes bring as high as ?:) each. The plaiting of the hats is very troublesome. It commences at the crown and finishes at the brim. The, hats are made on a block, which is placed upon the knee, and requires to be constantly pressed with the breast. According to their quality, more or less time is occupied in their completion the coarser ones may be finished in two or three days, while the finest may take as many months. The best time for plaiting are the morning hours and the rainy season, when the air is moist. In the middle of the day and in dry clear weather, the straw is apt to break, and this, when the hat is finished, is betray ed by knots, and much diminishes the value. lif .itip'i- Ann rii '1,1.

At about ten miles from the capital, near a town called Mejupa, on the lowest de clivities of the volcano of San .Salvador, there is a spring known in the country under the name of llio Iluido ((iceting river), which., for a period of seven con secutive years, furnishes enough water to form a tine river. The waters of this spring aie crystalline and wholesome, and, it is said, are excellent for certain diseases like leprosy, and for streng'.h ning the system when debilitated by ciimate. As so-.n as the seven years are completed, these same waters disap pear at a certain definite hour, the spring ceases to How, and the river bed. becom ing comp.etely dried, exhibits thereaf ter nothing but sand and dust. The in termittent periods have been as follows : From, 1 Soi; to ls7." the waters '.lowed; from l.-.: to lssi the spring ceased; and in the month of .Tanuary of tlie present year, the spring began" to flow again. This phenomenon is doubtless not a new one, ami science has long ago explained it. but there do not perhaps exist many springs the intermittent pe riod nf which is so long and so regular as that of the one at 2s"ejapa. T.i:i;in pondenl of following : I'knck I'ots. A corres the ii'in-i't Wurhl -rives the "Over twenty years ago I hit upon a 1'lan of nreiiaring fence posts that insures their durability better than any vvav that I ever heard of. I don't admire, the plan of 'hiding a light under a half bushel," so I will give you my experience. My attention was called to it bv seeing fishermen putting nets and lines in hot coal tar as ihey told me to keep them from rotting. I was then fencing a lot, using cedar posts, and as I was short two or three, I got some common white oak pieces from a sawmill, four bv six, and put them in boiling coal-tar tothc-depth of two and a half feet, keeping them there for twenty or thirtv minutes. There was a shallow drain" across the lot in which there was water in wet weather in winter and spring. I set these posts in that low place, leaving six or eight inches, that had been in tar, above the ground. I made no further ex-ierimeiits then. Sixteen rears after I moved the fence, and found the cedar posts more or less decaved ; some had taken a dry rot, and would break off at the top of the ground, many were half decayed, and few, if any, entirely sound. To my surprise I found tlie tarred oak posts as gtxd as when but in. I used them in making a shed." C'axnkd Flans. There are in fruits and cereals three kinds of sugar ; cane sugar, glucose, and frucose, all three nearly allied, but still each one has jK-cuiiarities of its own. and vet one is easily changed to another. In the growth and maturity of plants these are continually (hanging. Cane sugar is easily converted into glucese. AVhen it is usid for preserving fruits, if the sugar is boiled with the fruit, a large portion of the sugar is converted into glucose, which is not so sweet as the cane stigar and the more acid there is in the fruit the more sugar it requires, because the acid aids ia convening the cane sugar into glucose. Cane sugar vvi'l not pro duce alcohol, but glucose will, and alco hol is very frequently created in pre serves, in which case the idea is preva lent that there was not sugar enough applied, when the fact is it was not pro perly used. If the fruit is hr.st boiled, thenj the suar hiujigiit to a boiling heal, and the fruit put. into the sugar, loss of the saccharine principle will be required and the fruit will be better preserved.

The pure cream of tartar , of common-" exists naturally in the grape, and durimr fermentation of the tart wines in France, it is deposited on the sides and bottoms of the casks. In its unrefined state, it is called crude tar- ; tar, or argols, and is taken from the ; cask after the wine has leen drawn off. j Each farmer has his crop of it accord-j ing to the amount of wine he has pro- j diiced. The manufacturers of the brand i known as the Koyal 5aking Powder, j are perhaps the larges users of cream of , tartar in the world , and who have agents ; in various parts of Eurojie collecting j and forwarding the crude material. j It is imported into this country as ar- j gols, and does not apjear ujion the Cus- , torn House entries except as argols j never as cream of tartar, for the reason that the facilities for refining in this j country aie superior to that of the old j countries, hence, it is brought here in .B f 1Jt 1 1 A I u.e crime lorm ami men suujeciru io tlie luocfsa in lfiiiuii'. j This dispels the impression many liave that this article cannot be produced in its native purity. There is no doubt but what cream tartar is largely adulterated, and that as ordinarily found in the shops is cheaeried by either burnt liones, terra alba, or the hurtful alum, from 10 to V) per cent. Dr. Chandler. President of the New York Board of Health, as well as Dr. Mott, the Government Chemist, Dr. Squibb and other high authorities have denounced the wholesale adulteration of this most wholesome and useful arti cle.

Tin: ('i t Vokm. There is scarcel' any land land free from the wire worm, or any crop that is not subject to their voracity. They occur wherever grass will grow, lxdng particularly harbored among clover roots, and are always pre valent in meadow and pasture lands, seeming to thrive best in the vicinity of , swamps and woods. oung oats, wheat ! rye and barley suffer much from being j partially or entirely cutoff below the i snrfuce : cabbages and many root crops j are also injured ; turnips, iierhaps, more ! than any other, as they are cut off when : voung, and have the roots badly eaten ; into when larger. In gardens they are j very destructive. It appears that In dian corn is the greatest sufferer, es- pecially when it is the first crop planted in the new lami, or wnen me season is cold, wet and late. Upward of thirty have leen planted in a single hill, and nearly the whole, of the seed planted is some t i n i es d est roved . j One of the most successful remedies i on a large scale is a mixture consisting ' of two part of quick lime, thiee parts of J i soot ami one part of coarse or refuse j : salt. This is used as a top dressing be- ing applied immediaetly after com- pounding, and should le well rolled in. j It has the advantage of being perfectly i harmless to the crops ; indeed, it is a i most excellent and powerful fertilizer, i as well as a destroyer of all kinds of in I sects and many weeds. Refuse from I gas works, nitrate of soda, rai cake ! and chloride of lime, mixed and spread i with manure, are highly recommended, I and the sowing of soda ash or guano . broadcast when planting. X previous 1 crop of white mustard is claimed to ! clear the land of them, presumably by starving out, for the root-! of the mus- lard are extremely acrid and occupy the ! soil to the exclusion of any more nutri- tions ones. A close grazing with sheep c seems beneficial when pastures are bad ly infested. The same result is also ob tained by compacting the surface with , heavy rollers. IJj'-hitii'ji . I .

It recom mends placing one or more pin holes in the bottom and sinking them in the , earth near the roots of strawberry or tomato plants, the holes to be made of such size that when the can is tilled with water the fluid can only escajK? into the ground rery sloivly. A very little care in Idling the cans occasionally will keep the ground well irrigated. Kvery farmers family should have all the grapes they can eat from September to .January. It is not necessary to have a large vineyaid for this ; a few vines, each of the lest sorts, and properly treated, will give a great amount of fruit. There aie hundreds of out-of-the way places where a vine may be set, such as along a fence, or it may be by the side of a shed or barn. "With good soil and care m pruning, satisfactory returns may lie expected. Save ()i.i Patei:. Never throw old pajier away. If you have no wish to sell it use it in the house. Some house kee'iers prefer it to cloth for cleaning many articles of furniture. For in stance, a volume, written by a lady who prided htrself on her experience and tact, says : Alter a stove has been blackened, it can be kept looking very vell for a long time by rubbing with pa Hr every morning. Rubbing with pa lter is a much nicer way of keeping a tea kettle, coffee pot anil tea ot bright and clean than the old way of washing them in suds. Kuboing with paier is also lha best way of 'xilishing knives, tinware and spoons, they shine like new silver. For polish ing mirrors, windows, lamp chinicys, etc., pa'er is letter than dry ciolh. 1 'reserves and pickles keep much "letter it brown paper instead of cloth is tied over the jar. Canned fruit is not half so apt to mold if a piece of writing paper, cut to tit the can, is laid directly upon the fruits. l'aier is much better to put under a carpet than straw. It is a warmer, thinner and makes Jess noise when one walks over it. Hot sf.-Ui ii.ii- Ape. In the mid ille of Africa is found an ape which builds a shelter for himself in a tree, lie selects a tall tree growing neariy straight out, and about twenty feet from the ground. This branch is for his Moor, and ovei it he makes a roof, exactly in the shape of a large umbrella, with the trunk of the tree for the handle. It is made of leaf branches, tied on to the tree wit it vines, of which African woods are lull, and is so well shaped aud neatly made that it would do credit to a human builder. When the ape is at home, he sits in the branch with his head under the green roof, and an arm around the trunk to hold on. One ani mal lives in each house alone, and he uses it only until he has eaivn all the food he cares for near, and then lie builds a .a-vv houot: lit another olaee. STILL LATER AND BETTER!
