The marvellous delicacy of touch pos sessed by the Indian women (says an English writer) counterbalances the in feriority of Indian cotton in weaving the fine and delicate muslins to which tha names of " wtbj of woven.air," " dew of night, " running waters, etc., are given by the natives. They now use the BDinmns wheel generally tor the ordin. ary fabrics, but " the spindle still holds its place in the bands ot trie Hindoo wo man when employed in spinning thread for the finer muslins. For these the Hindoo woman first cards her cotton with the jawbone of the lioalee tih : she then separates the seeds by means of a small iron roller, worked backwards and forwards upon a fiat board. An equally small bow is used for brinjrinir it to the state of a downy flVece, wnich is uiadd no into smill rolh, to bs held in the hand during the process of spinning The apparatus required for this consists of a delicate iron spindle, having a small ball of cUy attached to it in order to give it sufficient weight in turning, an imbed le. 111 a little clay there is a pitjCtt of hard shell, tn wuiuh th-i spindle turns witli ilm leait d 'tr-e of fnctiuu " Vary grtt attention id paid to the tempi r.iture of Iha Hir durirg the pro Ct-as of Hymning, ttiid the Rpmuers in th di y Ciimtte of th N jrthtest of Inilm. worn uudergrouiid lo secure a moist and uniform atm jsphere.

They continue com ing out ot tne ground wneu n is open, that is when the frost will permit, till about the first of April, but usually in greater numbers in March than in the fall. The males, which have wings, come out a little later and they are less nu merous. 'The female ascends the tree more or less rapidly, according to the mildness of the weather. Cold nights benumb her and check her progress, but sho is ready for a Iresh start as soon as a warm day ooifics. The males are more active in the darkest night than in the sunniest and warmest day. With all the numerous patents for pro tection, some of them rather expensive and troublesome, we are not aware that any plan has been devised that is on the whnlu an o-nnrl And effectual as the old 4 n L ! l vtan ntflA4 moae or tarring, wuiuu wh pn;i..n half a century ago and is still often adopted. The only objection is that it invnlvps tha necessitv ot applying so of- itm. nn nrennnt of the liability to ary and harden with a surface that enables the insects to walk over it. The use of printer's ink is a great im provement en tar, because it does not dry ho readily. To apply it, take a Btrip of tarred paper, six or eight inches wide, and tack it around the body of the tree. If the tree is old and rough scrape on the rouahest bark, and fill up any iiregu laritiesof the tree with tow or cotton batting. Put the paper on near the ground, within a foot or two of it, so that cattle won't rub it off and smear themselves with it. It keeps the female grubs low down also, for when they find themselves obstructed by the ink, they back down and deposit their eggs below it, but often without impregnation. You must get the best kind of ink, because the best is cheaper in the end, and it re mains sticky longer thau the cneaper preparations, tome of which are com pletely worthless. Apply tne inK WllU a orusu near uo top ot the paper, s that it will not run down on to the bark of the tree. It will ininre it if it does, by attracting an un natural amount ot heat from the sun. In some instances, where the ink has been applied directly to the bark of the tree it has killed it, but the same would be he case under the same circumstances with tar. The paper ought to be taken r.flfof tha tree after the season is over, say in June, because it makes a fine hur- bor tor an sons oi vne inters uiuu tha summer.

Horses used for heavy worn, as drawing wagons or carts in oities, and plows and harrows on farms, very rarely, if ever, are found hampered with a tight check-tein.

There is a story told of Mr. Ralph Waldo Etnerson, that onoe upon a time he determined to live after the fashion of the world, and stopping, while of this mind, at a couutry tavern in a village where he was to .lecture, instead ot retir ing to meditate in his cold and cheerless rocm, be manfully sat in the bar-room like the lest of mankind. He endured the tobacco smoke as well as he could and watched no doubt with a curiosity as lively as M. Du Chaillu's on his first visit to a cannibal feast among the Fans the actions of the men who " sat around." lie saw one after another walk np to the bar and demand and swallow a glass of whiskey ; and true to his determination to be for once like oth er men, the great philosopher so the tale goes at last rose, and, no doubt, with a certain degree of diffidence, and no doubt also with a sufficiency ot cour age in his port and countenance, ad vanced to the bar, aud in a voice modu lated as nearly as he could after those he had just heard, demanded a " whiskey skin." The bar-keeper, a man of sound principles as well as sound discretion, looked into the philosopher's face for a moment, and then Siiid, "Yon do not want whiskey ; you want ginger-pop ;" and accordingly administered that mild and harmless stimulant. Street Etiquette. Only villagers or persons with rural ideas any longer contend that ladies should always be given the inside of the pavement in passing. The rulo adopted in cities is to turn to the rightt whether the right leads to the wall or to the gut tor, aud an observance of this common sense rule would obviate much unpleas ant " scourging" by over-gallant gentle men who persistently crowd for the out side of the walk. Auother common cus tom, required by fashionable etiquette, aud one hioh is nearly as iuexp icttble and absurd, is the practice of a whola string of men filing out of a church pew, making themselves as ridiculous as an "awkward (-quid practicing at "catch ing step" iu order to give women the wrong end of the pew, as thai, of man, when on a promenade cr walk with a lad , ti keep himself en the outside of . , . . i:.it : . . .... 2..

Exchange. The Waste axd Fli.y of Cold Earns. And what showing woul the cobt of winter feed of his animals make cu the account-book, if the farmer keeps one ? Ha would find that a Urge por tion of his feed had become dissipated in the frozen air of the north winds; that a good portion of hny or corn had gone to melt ice or snow and evaporate cold rain water, and what was left after theso things had been done, had rarely sufficed to keep life in his beasts. For in this case philosophy or science, or book knowledge, call it what you will, is thoroughly corroborated by practice. If two bettsts are fed alike, except that one is kept well stabled and the other out of dnin exposed to tho cold, the ene thus exposed will consume just double the amount that the other will, and will be in worse condition beside. Every man who keeps a cow knows this to some extent, though he may not know the exact figures. Here we give them they are.the result ot a caretul experiment made by a trustworthy feeder, via : Two lots of sheep (of five each) were selected, of equal weights and conditions. Une lot was Kept out or doors and unsheltered, the other kept in a close pen. The lot under shelter ate 1.012 pounds ot turnips against oau pounds eaten by the other lot. The gam in weight was zo pounds per neaa in thy second. The profit can be figured out Ly any man who knows what tur nips aud mutton are worth. Had not the feeding been abundant some of the exposed sheep would nave aiea. Ana vet "sheep will ttand wore exposure than cilves or heiters.oreveniuu-grown cattle. Notwithstanding all this, every winter's day one may see young calves humped up and stinenea with coia. shaking; iu the keen breeze, and their owners knowing at the same time tnai a vear s growth is thus frorun out ot them This comes of not figuring up profit and loss. American AgrteuUuruit. Use of the Check-Reix on Hobses It is a disputed point whether the use of the check-rein is useless, or of so much inconvenience to the hcrje as to amount to a cruel infliction. In consid ering this question we should remember that the check-rein is not the same thing under all circumstances. A high-bred, bighly-fed and pampered carriage-horse under the control of a check-rein can not be considered in the same light as I hard-worked and broken-spirited cart horse. The one needs the restraint of the check-rein to bring him ander that complete command without which it would be unsafe to drive him. The position of the head is not in this case any source of pain or inconvenience, tor the exei tions ot the horse are only very slightly taxed to draw the light carriage and its occupants, uu I be other nan i, a horse taxed to its utmost to draw heavy loads over roads where the footing is far from secure (as on the slippery streets of a city) is never found to be so tightly reined up as the showy horse at tanhed to the elegant carriage, where ap pearauce is the great desideratum ; and he has, therefore, a greater command holds true of the timrs of eating as well as of tho food we eat. Thiee meals per day are enough, aud not too many for a uitijority of grown persons. Some are heilihier and stronger with but two meals a ilny ; and we hear of a crack briiiied doctor in Button who thinks that he cm get alig with but one. Ei n if he could do to, that is no nasou why hi: should recommiiid bis example ib a rule tor other persons to folio, 'here imv-i been case where men h'ive fasted for weeks, or even for months and have kept their healtn ; but their example does not prove that a week's .ist is a good thing tor ordinary mortals.
