Kid Gloves, ana Their Production. The material used In making a kid glove are either the skins of kids from 6 week.- to 3 months oldand these furnish the best articles or the skin of lamb of about the same age; there are also the skins of sheep, but these make but a poor and inferior article. The first process of making a glove is the tanning. To facilitate the re moval of the hair or wood, the skins are placed in a solution of lime, where they remain for some time, after which they are placed in running water to re move the lime, and after being taken out of this the hair easily comes out with the aid of a blunt scraper. This process is repeated two or three times, until every hair and small particle of flesh adheiing to the skin are entirely removed, and the skins then are ready for the tanning operatiou. For this purpose they apply an ingredient of the yolks of eggs, alum, salt, etc., a polluted preparation, in which solution the ekins remain for several weeks, so that they may become thoroughly satu rated, which gives them the necessary whiteness, after which they undergo the various coloring processes. The dyeing requires considerable skill and a fine eye, for the composition of the 1 various shades. The color is applied to each skin separately with a brush, each requiring from one to four appli cations of the color according to the shade desired. The only exceptions to this are the very light shades, the so called evening colors, which are pro duced by immersing 200 or 300 skins at one time in a vat containing the color ing matter, which will soak through every particle of the skin. After being thoioughly dried in a room heated up to ISO deg. Fahr., the skins reach the cotter to be cut in squares pieces: this is a most df Heated operation, and not only lequires skill but good judgment. The gloves have to be cut with the grain of the skin, running from the bead down, and great waste of material would result from the employment of any but the most skillful hands. One skin will cut on the average from 3 to 4 gloves, according to size required; though when large sheep kins are used, one skin will give from 9 to 10 inferior gloves. The squares thus cut are put up in packages of from C to 12 pairs ol gloves, and by means of a punch and a powerful press, are cut out in pieces, ready to be sewed. The sewing on fine gloves is all done by hand, and requires the best seam stresses. Over 6,000 stitches are re quired to sew a pair of ladies' gloves, and the best hands canuot finish more i than 4 pairs in a day of 12 hours. For I the sewing of lower grades of gloves j there is now a machine in use, but, ' even with this help, the best hands cannot sew more than 12 to 14 pairs per day.

Every one who can afford it puts a fresh buyo In his mouth every hour, which be can chew and suck tor half an hour at least. The visible effects of the betel are that it promotes the flow of saliva and lessens perspiration. It tinges the mouth, teeth and lips with a vivid red which is not ornamental ; but as an offset it im parts an agreeable odor to the breath, and is supposed to fasten the teeth, cleanse tbe gums, and cool th; mouth. The juice is usually, but not all ways, swallowed. On tnose wbo are accus tomed to use it, tbe betel exerts a weak but continuous and sustained exhilara ting influence. All through Southern India and the Spice Islands every per son who owns a little bit of land usual ly grows the leaves of the paten, or betel pepper, for his own consumption. Ouly tobacco, among the narcotics in common use, is consumed in larger quantities than the betel nut. In India, indeed, where, on an average, not more than twelve cents a head is annually tpent for clothing, indulgence in betel forms the second great necessary of common life. Every one can do something to add to the aocial life at the table. If one cannot talk, be can listen, or ask questions, and draw out others who can talk.

A family table should be bright and cheerful a sort of domestic altar on which every one casts down his or her offering, great or small, pleasantness or peace where, for at least a brief spsce of the day, all annoyances are laid aside, all stormy tempers hurshed, every one being glad and content to sit down at the same board and eat the same bread and salt, making it, whether it be a rich repast or a dinner of herbs, equally joyful, almost a sacramental , meaL i A Nngget Mined With Hatcher's Knife. Nevada's first nugget was mined with a butcher's knife. John Orr ttarted across the plaina in 1849. The roads were bad, the weather was w orse, and he was obliged to remain through the winter at Salt Lake. In April he re sumed his journey. lie had a partner named Xick Kelly, after whom Kelly's Ravine is named, and in the company was Win. Preuse, now living in Xurb City, about forty miles southeast of Salt Lake. Pronse had worked in mines be fore gold was discovered in Colotna, and was a good prospector. One day the train stopped on the edge of what is now known as Gold Canyon, near the Carson River, to let the animals feed on some bunch grass found 'growing among the sage bush. Prouse at noon time took a pan, and, going down to the gulch, began washing dirt, in a few mi nutes getting color to the value of a fe wcents. Orr then named the phiceGold Canon. The train soon after resumed travel, going to the bead of the Carson Valley. There they met a party of seven, who had left the train at the sink of the Humboldt, intending to go in ad vance to California aud select good loca tions for the remainder ot the party. They had been unable to cross the country, and had beeen lost in the snow iu the mountains lour or five days, un able to find the divide to Ilangtown. A stay in Carson tor three weeks fol lowed,, when Orr, Kelly and several others returned to Gold Canon and re scued prospecting. Kelly and Orr went up the canyon until a little fork wa; reached, when work was begun. The party bad a few tools, and Orr had j nothing but a knife. While Kelly was working he noticed a very narrow place at the fork, where the water barely covered a slab ot slate rock. Idly he' examined it, and noticing a small crevice near the edge, drove the ! knife into it, breaking out a piece. The water running over it washed away the underlying dirt, and in a few sec- onds be discovered a gold nugget ; where the rock had covered it. It was quickly removed, and afterwards found : to weigh $323. This was on the 1st of June, 1850, nearly thirty years ago. I Prospecting was continued, and throughout the canyon, Orr's was the j only nugget. He still has it in his possession, the first ever found in Nevada. The Oldest Fortran.

In n Box. The owner of a large farm, not far from Lancaster Pa., had an opportuni ty a few days ago ot witnessing how an interloper is punished by the martin specie ot birds. A pair of martins bad taken possession of a small box, and were building their nest. One day, while they were absent, a screech-owl took possession of the box, and when the martins came home would not al low them to enter. The smaller birds were nonplussed for a while, and In a short time flew away, seemingly giv ing up the fight. But if the owl was ot this opinion he was sadly mistaken, for in a short time the little ones re turned, bringing with them a whole army of their companions, who im mediately set to work and procuring mud, plastered the entrance to the bo shut. They then all flew away. In a few days the box was examined and the owl was found dead. 8en Horpenta, Whales are atrociously voracious, and frequently eat each other, but it sometimes happens that, when approaching its victim from behind, one attempt to swallow another, his teeth get caught in the tail, and he is unable to disengage them, as also the victim is usable to escape. Then another whale comes up and attemps to gulp down No. a, aad is caught, and this tort of thing continues until twenty or thirty whales are fastened together in twos, and sailors suppose them to be one enor mous serpent. Persons, who supposed the length of the ea serpent depended upon the number of drinks of whisky previously taken bv the man w ho saw it. didn't look at the mailer scientifically. But science will please further explain why the serpent is alwiys described by those who see it as having 'a head and mane like a horse.' AGRICTJLTURK. Washings fbom Boaps. The wash lrgi from ;tlie public roads that accu mulate in ditches and pooli into which they lead contain a very large amount of fertilizing material. They contain among other valuable materials the solid and liquid droppings of animals, the foliage aud stalks of plauts, thi leaves of trees, aud earth ot various sorts that has been reduced to a great degree of fineness by the feet ot ani mals and the wheels ot carriages. The value of the first-named substances is acknowledged by all farmers. Many are unacquainted with the use of liuely pulverized earth, but those who have employed it speak of it in the highest terms. The sweepings ot the streets of most European cities and towns are disposed of for more than enough to pay lor collecting them. They are dif ficult to handle as tliey are liaoltj to be blown about by the wind. When ap plied as top-dressing to grass laud thev produce remarkably good results. The like is true of their use on graiu fields. The loose material on roadbeds arc car ried by rains into ditches where they accumulate or are cou veyetl, if the land is descending; Into hollows. There they accumulate, and alter the water has passed out of them to drainage or evaporation, they assume a compact form. The consistency of the material allows it to be lifted by the shovel into carts very readily. It may be spread over the grass land where it will U in in tegrate by the action of rain, or it may be applied to soil that is devoted to auy cultivated crops. The value of flueiy pulverized soil as a fertilizer Is ad mitted by all who have experimented with it and itsempioymect will be gen eral in the agriculture of the future. Seeding to Gbass. Notwithstand ing the tact that grass seeds sell lor a higher price than for several years, It will be a saving of cents and an expense of dollars to stint the quantity of seed sown beyond a certain limit. No ex act quantity can be named as that ne cessary to be sown on an acre ot ground, for dlflereut varieties of soil require a different amount of seed. A sandy soil should iiave more seed sown in it than a heavy or fertile one, and with the harrows commonly used, we believe that most farmers do not seed sufficiently heavy. With a !ir.e, fer tile, moist and smooth bed, one peck of timothy, one-half bushel of red-top, and four pounds of clover are amply sufficient to seed an acre. The quan tity if applied evenly to an acre would give about nine seeds per square inch, and those farmers who are sowing dou ble and triple that quantity in a soil poorly pulverized, and then uneven and improerly covering it, snould spend a few hours between now and seed time iu considering their old methods of seeding. Previously we have stated in these columns, that the harrow is one of the most important implements used in cultivating our erops, and that it i the one the most tauly neglected the soil is made thoroughly tine, deeply pulverized, and the surface made suiooui ueiore me grass Bceu is sown we believe farmers would save sulli cient seed in a few years to pay tor improved harrows now so badly needed to cover grain seeds, and unless imple ments are used that were specially de signed for that purpose, there must be a loss of more than one-half of the quantity of the seed sown by imperfect and too deep covering. Sowing Seeds or Beaks and Melons, Many of us when getting our educa tion in vegetable gardening recollect how anxious we were to make an earlv start iu the spring, and how often we bad to sow our seeds, not once but twice and three times over, frem put ting them in too early, the cold or dampness cutting them on for us Most all of us now wait until all dan ger is assuredly passed before we sow- but this waiting often throws us be hind our more venturesome neighbors who have been willing to run a little risk. A correspondent who follows the plan of sowiug the seed on sods In a warm spot thus gives his method: "I cut the rurf in squares of one foot, about three inches deep, hauling these oil a wagon to the place chosen for the crop. 1 lay them bottom up iu the cold frame and with an old kuiie cut each square of turf into pieces four inches square, giving nine pieces to each square, into each or these smaller j pieces of turf I stick the bean, squash or melon seeds, 1 put two beans in a piece, or three squashes or melon seeds 1 then sprinkle soil over the bed and when the seeds are up high enough I take the pieces of turf witn the plants and set them where they are to grow Farmers Who do not make gilt- edge butter and do not alwayu find a ready, remunerative market for the same, may keep it for a rise in the price by packing the same in sweet tubs or spare jars and covering it with strong brine, or by making it into rolls which are done up in cloth and kept in a barrel of brine ; but in this case it must be borne in mind that unless the brine is fully saturated with salt, it will draw from the. butter aud so injure it, or, again, unless the whole is perlewtly submerged, it is liable to become taint ed and so extend to the brine and thus eventually injure the whole. Marking Cattle. Ths ancient Ro mans marked their cattle and horses wi'Ji a metal stamp containing letters. The stamp was dipped into fluid pitch, and was used to print en the bodies ot animals; but in tbe case of runaway slave!1, the stamp was made hot and printed iu the captive's cheek or fore- heed Superstition of the gem. Old wives by the sea coast hold many superstitions concerning the "hollow- sounding aud mysterious main." Thus Dickens tells us that Barkis lingered in his dying until the turn of the tides, when, the tide going out, Barkis wen1 out with it. In New England it is un lucky to kill a pig in the wane of the mecn or at the ebbiag of the tide; the pork will shrink In the boiling. Water in tbe dinner-pot evaporates more rapid ly over the fire when the tide is "dead low." It unlucky to eat fish from the head downward ; it drives away the fish from the shores. To tell the stage of the tide without going to the beach, look in a cat's eye the pulpit of every Intelligent cats eye is elongated when the tide is at the flood. Never count a catch of fish until the day's work, or sport, is done. Otherwise the sport is spoiled. Similarly the sea-side farmer never counts his lambs until the season tor dropping is over. But it is not alone in rural communities that men and women keep up customs and rites fonded on pagan superstitions. Among the ancient Greeks aud Romans it was a common custom for the bridegroom to give his bride, on the wedding night, a considerable sum of money by way of purchase of her person. From this ussgej no doubt, we have derived the custom of making wedding presents, under which so many people groan. The ancient Saxons gave a betrothal ring, or other gift, which was called "a wed," and from which we have derived a very charming word. Fifth avenue throws an old shoe after the departing bride. Is this because our sterner fore fathers ordained that the bridegroom should tap his new-made wife on the head with his shoe as a token of her submission to her lord f Has any paragrapher ever called yeung lady speaker a wind lass?

It often happens that after a late heavy dinner, or when arriving home late in theeveiiing, or when one is an in valid, or dyspeptic, and especially when a troublesome tooth or other mouth ailmeut prevents proper masti cation of harder food, one v ants a light, easily digestible and easily masti cated dish or lunch. Well-cooked oat meal, the grains nearly whole and not "all iu a mush," is quite good, but is not accessible, and is not liked by all. Latterly we have found tbo following very good, especially for a late supper or lunch, eaten only an hour or t wo before retiring : Toast some slices of bread pretty well, scraping oil any blackened, charred ortiou, lay the slices on a plate, preferably a soup plate, and pour on cold milk enougi) to wet it through, and leave half an inch or so in depth of milk in the plaie. Gcod milk; a little extra cream in it Is all the better, and a very tritlc of salt improves it for our taste. Put over the toast thus prepared an inverted large earthen bowl, or tin basin, large enough to cover it and set down upon the plate all around. Put this in a warm, not very hot, stove oven, two, three, or more hours in advance. The milk will cook and evaporate and its substance be condensed in the toast, while Hie cover will keep the toast moist. It Is then very good, aud eats well without butter, though a little may be used if desired. Bread.

Trent in the Rocky Mountains. A writer says, in the month of July 1SC8, 1 captured in the headwaters the Gualupita River, in the Taos Mountains. New Mexico, in one morning's fishing, using a sixteen unce trout rod. made iu St. Louis, fourteen speckled trout, the smallest of which weighed three pounds and two ounces, and the largest four pounds and fourteen ounces. I took these trout within half a mile, and the most of them from under an old beaver dam using both fly and grasshopper. In June, 1SC9, I took from the Rio Colorado Chicita, in the same moun tains, a large number of trout from one to four pounds, where I do not believe any white man ever fished before. was on a gold hunting expedition In the Cimarron Yalley, and hail crossed the mountains for a hunt and fish with two companions. I had been fishing tor some two hours with but little suc cess, when I reached a spot on the stream that promised to be a perfect El Dorado, for my first cast gave me a fine fish, at least three prounds. For about 100 yards the stream had narrowed and deepened, and was well covered by tall grass ; my second cast gave me a chance of fastening to something that upset me mentally and physically, for I lost him in about two minutes, as I did my fly and snell. "He's a whopper." said I to my self, "and I'll get him before go home," So I marked the spot, and making a detour, I fished the stream tor a mile, and took a turn until after noon. On returning I commenced try ing to find my lost hook ; of course, not the fish that took it. Fly after fly. grasshopper after grasshopper, moth worm, everything I could think of did bait with.but a happy thought struck me I sat down and opened one of my larg est fish ; in his stomach I found pieces of a kind of root that I did not reco gnize as ever having seen before ; they were about one-half inch in length white, soft, and, on tasting I found them sweet and arqmatic. I concluded to try one of these pieces as a bait. did so, and it was a success, for I struck a fish that took all my nerve and exper ience to take care of. For nearly one hour I did all 1 could to conquer him and at last succeeded. And when had landed him, by wading in a shal low place that I had coaxed him into, and laid him on the grass, I thought that it was a very whale in size. took him to camp and weighed him Now for the big part of it ; he actully weighed nine pounds and fourteen ounces, and it was a trout the biggest fish that had ever been seen in New Mexico. Tbe natives and people who saw the fish pronounced it a true speck led trout. I he stream is at least 1,500 miles from the sea water, s.OUO feet above the sea level, 250 miles from any large stream, and Is not more than fifteen feet wide, and varies from one to five feet deep. Old Snoozer, What r A canvasser called at a house to get some names for the directory, ringing tbe bell somewhat h-rd. A female came flying to the door and squeaked out, Weil, old snoozer, what now?" "1 only m ish the names for the directory. he mildly replied. She howled out. "We hain't got no names here;" and gave the door a frightful slam, which rattled and shook every door and win dow in the house, and knocked out sev eral lights of glass ; woke up a sleepy policeman, who was trving to take lew winks on thecp . I;e com-r, wlo thought there was a first-class riot. and started for tbe station-house for help; set all the dogs barking; started the cats over the back fence; brought out the Chemical, who thought a boiler had exploded and raised a tremendous excitement generally. The canvasser walked off a little way, and then went back to the house again, took hold of the bell, braced himself, commenced pulling that bell as though bis life de pended on it, which brought the wo man to the door again, and he bellowed out: "tV ho in thunder said vou had any names? I didn't." Shesttredat him a few minutes, and then ripped out in a long, loud laugh, in which he heartily joined. By this time the police man arrived on tbe ground with rein forcements in the shape of a sergeant and a platoon of "cops," who felt great ly disappointed when they saw there was no occasion to club anybody, and the woman not only gave the canvasser the names of those in the house, but the houses around there, and told more about the neighbors than they knew themselves.
