most unsurpassed value for this pur

ground patterusare mostly adopted from
simple variations of the palm, etc., but
these combinations are so adroitly de
signed that scarcely one design appears
quite similar to another, unless under
careful examination lor the purpose.
The various descriptions and qualities
of these shawls are distinguished ac
cording to their pattern, shade, fabric
and dimensions ; thus, the measurement
of the non-cut shaw ls is fixed at close
on to t velve teet in length and four feet
ten inches in width, though these di

in the sewed shawls, these latter being,
however, considerably cheaper than the
focmer. The price of a good, genuine
Persian shawl varies Irom thirty-live to
fifty dollars; it very rarely hapiiens
that shawls of seventy-five dollars in
value are made, in which case these are

Issect ravages Professor O V.
Riley asserts that in 1874 the Southern
States lost 20.000,000 by the cotton
worm in a single week- In 1S71 $30,000,
000 worth of grain was ruined by the
pinch busr, and that in 1873, 1874. and
1875 the Kockv Mountain grasshopper
destroyed food to the amount of $50,000,
000. Bringing in evidence the atten
tion paid by the French Government to
the study of the phylloxera, Professor
Riley states that they have offered a
prize of 300,000 francs for the discovery
of a remedy, and ares-constructing a
canal capable of irrigating C0,u00 acre
of vine, beleiving that water will kill
the phylloxera. The attention of our
Government having been drawn to
ward these insect peels. Professor Riley
advocates that a commission, extending
over a period of five yers, be empowered
bv Congress to study these subjects, as
he declares that in less than that time
it would be impossible to discover the
origin or habits of many of the insects,
or devise methods for their destruction.
We have a good deal of faith in Profes
sor Riley, and should be very glad to
see his suggestion adopted by the Gov
ernment. But it muat be confessed
that the labors of the mere scientist
have not acbomplished much to aid the
farmer in protecting his crop against
the ravages of these insect pests. The
discovery of the origin and habits of in
sects have not pointed out the method
of their destruction. If this commission
is to be appointed, we hope it will em
brace men of practical experience, aud
those of scientific attainments ; for how
ever desirable and important we may
deem the investigations of learned men
in matters of this sort, they are seldom
so satisfactory as the results of intelli
gent aud carefully conducted experi

Advantages axd disadvantages ok
lime. soils that are light and deficient
in vegetable matter are made worse by
lime. Let one for Instance take a strip
of Jersey land light enough to satisly
anybody and lime it, and he will soon
have as poor a strip of land to operate
on as anyone could desire to experiment
with. A piece of sand satura'ed with
iron rust or oxide of iron, could not
be poorer. And this is true of lime on
any kind of light land. Lime tells to
best affect on heavy land always, but
only here when in connection with
vegetable matter.
Indeed taking a practical view of
things irrespective of any chemical
language or, chemical theories, we
should say that lime simply acted as an
a?ent in preparing vegetable matter
to be lood tor plants. In farm language
it "eats" the vegetable waste and half
digests it, and it is then in better condi
tion to be made use ot by the roots of
the regular farm crops. Thus, if we
are almut to plow up a piece of old sod,
we lime it a little before we plow it
down, or we lime a piece of stubble for
the same reason. The lime affects the
vegetable material in the soil, and the
plants feeding on it are able to get as
much profit from it iu one year as from
the uulime.1 land in two. Lime indeed
adds nothing or but little to the rich
ness of land, but makes tbe natural
richness more available. In other
words it is au excellent aid in land al
ready rich, but the poorest thing possi

Tkofits ox sheep. An extensive
wool grower in Michigan figures up the
enure cost of keeping full-bred Merinos.
and savs that their wool costs him but
14 cents tier pound which sells at 30
cents. His wethers average 7tts. to
the fleece, giving a new profit of $1.12
to each head on the wool. 1 he proh
on the ewes, including lambs is much
more than this. The report says: "He
had been satisfied for seme time that
the better the sheep, the better they
paid; but these facts,, which were taken
Irom his own experience had satisfied
him that those w ho kept thoroughbred
sheep had a great advantage over those
who kept sheeD whose fleecess were not
of first quality. He had kept sheep at
hrst whose fleeces only yielded 4ais. on
an average, and they couatimed just as
much as sheep that produced 7 .
Wool growers have to take into consid:
tion not only the quality of the-wool
but the sale of sheep for mutton ; aud
as inu ton sheep the Meriuos are not
profitable.
Chops xot aches A good soil rarely
faiis, even in a poor season of return
ing a paving income lor the labor ex
penued upon it in the cultivation of
any crop adapted to it.
The idea that the number of acres in
crops indicates the farmer's income
must be abandoned, and the number of
bushels per acre must be looked for In
stead. 1 here is certainly less profit in
plowing fifty acres, to raise one thou
sand bushels of grain, than in plowing
twenty-five to grow the same amount.
aud trusting to good seasons for fair
crops will not be thought of by the im
proved farmer. A rich and well culti
vated soil will usually make fair re
turns in what we call bad or unfavora
ble seasons. v hat the farmer on a poor
soil would call a good season seldom

We are glad to know that salting hay

prefer it to unsalted hay , but it is un-

Experiment with Steel. M. Treve
has communicated to the Acadatuie
de Science tbe rewilU of experiments
made by himself and H. Durassier. on
the coneectioo which exist between
the nature of steel and its magnetic
force, wbicb results axe of peculiar in
terest and value.
It appears that fifteen bars of steel
were selected, which were divided into
five seta, each of these receiving a dif
ferent temper, after which M. Treve
magnetized them to saturation, and
then determined their magnetic force
by tbe method of deviation. Thus,
those bar which contained .930 per
cent, of carbon, aud which were har
dened in cold water, gave a maxiuinui
of deviation represented by the num
ber 47; whilst a bar with the same
amnuut of carbon, but hardened in
boiling water, gave the number 44;
and a third bar, also with the same
of carbou, but hardened in oil of fifty
degrees temperature, ouly gave forty
three, showing that the fluid used in
hardening exerts an iutiueuce.
The effect of tbe amount of carbon
contained in the steel is also established
for, whilst the maximum of deviation
of the above mentioned bars, which
contained .9o0 per cent, of carbon, was
found to be 47, other bars containing
.250 per cent, of carbon only showed a
deviation of thirteen. In laying down
tbe curves of variation, the influence
of the amount of the carbon aud of the
hardening media was sensible enough,
but the effect of the latter appears to
have been smaller in proportion as tbe
former increased, and M. Treve has
ascertained the fact that the magnetic
curve of a steel bar coincides with its
curve of elasticity, thus showing that
carbon not only gives to steel its elas
ticity, but also its magnetic capacity, a
fact which is of much importance in
the treatment of steel and its various
applications.
Spontaneous Generation Contrary to
all Analogy. Manifestly, then, it must
be weigh y nay, equivocal and even
irresistible evidence that will induce
the philosophical biologist to couclude
that Nature's otherwise universal me
thod is changed, in the outmost fringe
of orgauixed being. Mere reasoning
could never accomplish this. It must
tie a hard, defiant fact, which none can
gainsay. But verily no such facts nor
even their most distant forecasts are
before ns. The profound difficulties
which bristle round tbe inquiry on ev
ery baud are proiuiuent signals for
caution ; while the uncertainty and in
competency of the methods hitherto
employed, and their conflict of results,
is alive with uieauing. Indeed, we are
dealing with organisms so miuute as to
elude all but our best optical applian
ces ; and tbe accurate aud cored in
terpretation of the details they enable
us to discover requires the practice and
experience of years. Of the develop
mental history of these organisms
themselves, we know from actual ob
servation almost nothing with certain
ty: and the little we do know from
such careful aud patient observers as
Colin, Billroth. Ray, Lankester and

to demonstrate the necessity of years

not to scale the back or dorsal part, as
these scales are yellow, while the
white scales possess the value. The

i
II6w to Fold Mes's Clothes.
Harper's Bazar gives a timely sugges
tion or two as to how mens's clothes
should be best folded, which should be
done immediately after they are Uken
off, when the cloth is more plastic and
impressionable from the warmth of the
body. Each garment must be pulled
into shape before folding. The coat
sleeves should be gently but firmly
stretched to full length, and then
doubled up with the cretsc at elbows.
The skirts are then turned over, and,
without disturbing the collar, the whole
is donbled down the back, and left at
full length wheu put by in the ward
robe. This mode di Hers from folding for
packing, la this case the collar is
turned uo, arms doubled, skirts brought
up to collar cloth to cloth ; the process
then goes on as above. Trousers should
be pulled down each seam, and particu
larly stretched from fork or crutch to
boot ; then fold them flat, knee to knee
not as tailors do, with crease down the
centre; then turn over into three, tak
ing care this crease is below the knee.
To keep trousers in shape, you should
occasionally uamp them with a sponge
well wrung out. When folded, euvelop
them in brown paper, and put away
under a beavr trunk or other weight.
How do soldiers, with their limited
stock of trousers, manage to turn out so
well? Simply by following these di
rections; they damp their overalls, roll
them up, and place them often under
their bed or pillow.
Wheu clothes are wet, they must not
be folded only pulled into shape aud
put to dry. A coat is best placed over
the back of a chair, as if dressing a lady
figure; trousers over a towel horse.
This will be found better than hanging
them from pegs, for they are apt to dry
askew and out of shape. Often after
drying it will be found they require a
tonic to restore them ; and the tincture
of iron (hot) must be administered by a
tailor, unless you can have the remedy
applied at home. Here it is where an
cillary help comes in handy. Mary
Jane, if willing and a skilful repaueute,
should be suborned with a largess of
ribbons or similar fallals and instruc
tions given her to iron ou the wrong
side only previously having damped
the relractorv garments with a moist
sponge.
Of all enemies to clothes thempst
deadly known is du-t. If you have
been caught in a whirlwind of it, vou
will fold away your clothes in vain
They must first be dusted. Mark well ;
if you wear cloth ground In with dust,
and are caught in the rain, your suit is
done for. You 'must have a limber
switch or cane borne on the effective
strength of your toilette establishment,
and make free use or It at tne euu oi
dusty day. If you don't like the job
yourself and few do you must get it
done Dy the nanumaid, tlie uomesiic
Abigail before alluded to, or by anyone
else you please, so long as it is done,
However, 1 repeat, dusted the clothes
must be, or they will be done for.
A Valuable Recipt. An excellent
remedy lor chronic Summer Complaint,
ami one that we never remember
seeing in print, one, also, that can do
no one any harm (which many of the
mixtures of laudanum, camphor, pepper
etc., are likely to do), to persons mucl;
weakened by the continuance of the
disease, is to make a white flannel bag,
about 10 inches long and 5 inches wide,
put iuto it half a pound of finely ground
Peruvian bark, sew up the eud, spread
the bark evenly, and then quilt It nicely
to keep the bark in place. Sew tape on
the corners and tie it around the waist,
the longest part across the bowels, aud
wear it night and day, (making a new
one, of course, when soiled) tor lour or
five mouths, if necessary, or, until you
can eat anything you please. A Irieiid
of ours, who suffered at times for 13
years from chronic Summer Complaiut
contracted iu India, and who was
obliged to deny himself of almost every
thing tu the way of vegetables or suffer
the penalty of an attack, was relieved
in a short time and finally cured with
this remedy. You want nothing but
the dry Peruvian bark quilted in the
flannel bag, the perspiration of ttie body
will do the rest.
Decoratixq a Lmx.nek Table. The
graceiul decorations of a dinner table,
though it may, in the highest degree.
partake somewhat of the character of
an art, ia its simpler expression is
within the capabilities of any one. A
bouquet of choice flowers, a bunch of
ferns, so readily and cheaply obtaina
ble, when placed on the dinner table
enhance the pleasure ot a meal. A few
sprigs of parsley arranged ou a dish is
an ornamentation which gives addi
tional zest to food. Between a lobster,
even unadorned, when served with
care, and one slung on the table, there
is exactly the difference which exists
betweeu the same shell-fish seen on a
gentleman's table, and the crustacean
when exposed for sale on the fish-dealers
slab. L'ven in such a trivial thing as
tile serving ot food to the guest, some
thing or a proper taste and good breed
ing may be made manifest. It is a treat
to watch a delt cook serving a dinner.
It is a triumph of practical skill.

It, without any apparent advantage to
himself. I find him on the hills ol
cucumbers (perhaps it will be a cholera
year, and we shall not want any), the
squashes (small loss), and the melons

deal with the striped bug is to sit down

him. If you are spry, you can annoy
him. This, however, lakes time. It
takes all day and part of the night. For
he flieth in darkness, and wasteth at
noonday. If you get up before the dew

with his congener, the white-throated
sparrow, but seldom more than iu the
nronortion of one to twenty of the lat
ter. Contrasted with this bird, he looks
like its more fortunate brother, upon
whom some snecial distinction has been
conferred, and who is from the egg of
finer make and duality. His sparro
odor of allien gray and brown is very
clear and bright, aud his form graceful.

is the suggestiou of a crest also, from a

Swinging in a hammock ia tbe very
luxury of repose. It ia restful jast to
think of it; and to pass by a clump ol
shady trees or a vine curtained veranda,
and watch the lazy awine of one ot
these a?rial eonebea. without envy, is
an example of virtue that ia not often
vouchsafed to ono with a generous ca
pacity for resting.
The general idea is that hammocks
are only for the wealthy, "the stylish,"
tbe professional time killer. It is a
great mistake. Every well to do far
mer, every owner of a cosy village
home, every member of a city stay -at
home club who commands a spot big
enough to swing one, should have a
hammock. Very good ones may be
bought for $1.50 to 4. They should
be hung where there is a good after
noon shade, and if iutended in part for
children's use, so low that small t hil
ren can get into it by the aid of a box
or low steol, and over sof t ground, so
that the numerous tumbles that are
probable will be harmless. If no other
place is available it may be hung be
tween the pillars of a shady verandah,
a place well enough for the older peo
ple who use it, but undesirable for
children on account of the lack of soft
turf as well as for tbe noise which ac
companies its use by the youngsters.
When children only are to use tbe
hammock, the manner of handling it is
important. But if provided for the
use of grown persons, it should be theu
so suspended that the bead will always
be cousiderably higher than tbe foot,
and much of the comfort of the oue
who uses this depends on a proper ob
servance of this fact. If you have no
more suitable place, suspend it from
tbe columns of a verandah. Tbe book
which supports the head end should be
six aud a quarter feet from tbe floor,
and that tor the foot end three and
three quarters feet, and these precau
tions should be observed wherever it
mav be hung, to secure the most desi
rable curve for tbe ease of the occu
pant. Another point to be observed :
The bead end should be fastened to a
hook bv a lone less than a foot long
just enough to properly attach it. while
at the loot is a rope tour ana a nan
feet long. This gives the greatest free
dom for swinging the lower part of tbe
body, while tbe bead moves but little.
This is a point which cannot oeoo
served in a hammock for children, who
think more of it as a swing than as a
place for comfortable repose. When
trees serve for supports, ample provi
sion should be made to prevent injury
to the bark, by means of stout canvas
or heavy bagging between the ropes
to which it is suspended anu tne oar.
If tbe banging be so arranged that the
hammock can be taken in during long
storms, it will last much longer.
