Ufa Id Mm Tropica. What first strike the stranger in the state of Colombia, South America, as in an y tropical country, is the utter want of thrift that pervades every occupation. The ground is untitled, the fruit is almost wild, the great cities are without reservoirs, and in short nolbing.is done which can be left in undone. A huge array of help is required hcuse-keepinz to do tli? work of two or three servants, and these establishments drift along wi-Ji little system or manage ment. Mistress and n aid lounge in dreamy. indolent ease The meza who waits upou you is a beautiful Indian girL She gems the braids of her long jetty hair with star jesaamir.e flowers, but ha cleanliness and honesty are questions ot grave doubt. She is a picture lor a painter, a Hopeless proo lem for a house-keeper, as unlrac table and unreachable as a wild deer. Like most of the lower classes in South America, the In Uians are natural thieves and too indjlent to work for anything they can get in an easier way. The poisonous cawava or yuca furnishes the bread of the country. Lite and death are contained in the root. Thirty-six drops of the juice are enough in six minutes to kill a condemned prisoner, yet the mealy substance supplies the only flour of the coun'ry, the well-known tapioca and tapi oca farina of commerce. Caxsiva bread is prepared by the Indians directly from the yuca root, which is grated, the poisonous juice bung fqui-eied out by the band. 1 he t ubstance remaining is then washed with old water, spnad on flat stones an eighth of an inch thick and baked before the Are. Thus any remaining poison is expelled, as the poisonous element of the plsnt is pnia- sic acid, and easily dissipa'ed by heat. The Indians bring this bread, which is snow while and resembles somewhat the Pas sion bread of the Jews, in guambas or net ted bars, which are thrown over the backs of donkeys. Delicious little break' last puffs which are baked in the oven, are made ol vuca stares mixed with cheese. The yuca plant is well named by the l)t- auist vtiliimima. It not only contains the poison with which the Indians kill their prisoners, the bread and the articles of c mimcrce spokcu of but the laundry starch. t le Vcfje able which takes the place of our (lotatocs, and fodder for the cattle. The deadly juice of the root a, lieu boiled and fermented is cluclia, the favorite beer of the country. Huge dixhes of fruit are placed on the l.rcakfast table, including oranges, bananas, guavas, mangoes, and usually carulia, the much talked of passion flower fruit of Sulh America. The latter is about a finger and a half in diameter. It is similar to the maypops of the south in flavor. The slightly acid winey juice is sometimes pressed out and beaten up with cream and sugar for dessert. Dulces are handed around with breakfast, as they are on every occaaku when they possibly can be. 1 here are many kinds ol these deli cious sweetmeats that are never known to et-ir marketsor housekeeptri. Tneyarelhe pride of the South American ladies, who certainly excel in their preparation. At the terniinaton of breaakfaM coffee or chocolate is passed around with fragrant ciirara, and ladies and gentlemen smoke to gether. The dinner which occurs at 5 p. m. , is a meal exactly similar to breakfast- There are few desserts made, dulces taking their place. Custards are used for parties, the price of ice being so high that ice cream is not seen except aflera hail Siena, when the i is collected, and for a while ice cream i vended extenaively. Cook stoves are rare ties. Tiiey ran be purchased, but the ordinary cooking is done in huge fireplace in the primitive way. The water that is used in the cities is taken from the river, where tho natives bathe, and donkeys drink and the refuse of the city is thrown. It is brought around by boys and sold at fifteen cents a barrel. It is filtered, and is the only water for cooking or drinkine. The cooking utensils are usually earthen pots ; iron kettles are rarely seen. Most of the floors in the best houncs are tessideted or marble. Carpets are rarely used. An ob long rug of matting is usually placed in the centre of the parlor, and the chairs are ar- ' rangtd stiffly on cither side of it. Most of the houses are without glass windows, be ing siinp'y barred. The dry dust of the street pours into them and fills every nook and cinnny. The Indian servants invari ably wear loug trains to their dresses, which brush the dust on them and you. W hatever reformation you may effect, you can never teach ibce servants to wear short dresdes. Their arms and shoulders are bare, but they object to showing their leeL The last meal of the day is served in the parlcr or gala. Tea is passed around by the nioza, with dulces, fancy biscuit and cheese. Tnis usually appears at about 8 or 9 oclock, the hour at which most of the visiting is done. The hostess always lounges in a chair, her hair carefully dressed, however neglected the rest of her toilet may be, and visitors come to talk over the latest gossip of the town, a recipe for a new dulce, or the plot of the last French novel. The reading of Colombian ladies is limited to Kugcne Sue and Dumas. Such is life in Colombia. A glamour of beauty is thrown over everything. A gol den mist rests over the miasma haunted swamps. One gradually becomes accus tomed to the slovenly, fl.iwer tarlanded servant girls and unswept floors to the s-utimem and slolhfulncss everywhere prevalent, l ue climate is so enervating that one ran hardly resist taking one's ease continually in a rockui chair, with a pal metto Ian and a delicate dish of dulce. Boss. Now that it Is me fashion to dispense with carpels and the use of rugs substi tuted, the following home-made ones might be fouhd usetul in a small bed chamber.in slead of Ihi Persian and other expensive bought kinds. Of course the floor should be painted, oiled, or hav a matting. For a room that iu-j simply to sleep in, noth ing can be nicer, as they can be taken up and shaken without any trouble, and one can breathe without feeling that they are inhaling dust from carpets at every inspir ation. Very handsome rugs can be made of burlap canvas at small cost. The piece of canvas must be fastened to a stout frame of the desired size for the rug, and then narrow strips of red, green and gray flan nel can be diawn in," in any pattern de sired. The border should be ot solid color gray is the prettiest, and is a neat finish. Loops must be left on the surface and the whole carefully trimmed on when the pat tern is complete. If one wishes to have a more expensive rug and purchase the ma teiial, Turkish toweling will be found cap able of f real oruamen:ation. Pieces of cloth or velvet cau be cut into leaves from cretonne aud stitched on. Ii is not best to cut each leaf separately, for the effect is better if a large clutter is laid on, and veins made in the leaves of bright, heavy silk. A cneap, common table cover ingen ious fingers can make by taking gray can ton flannel and cutting the cloth large euough to cover the tatile and frm a deep draiwry. Toen procure some red velveteen or canton flannel, and cut uui the leaves of a rose or other flower, place them in shape around the edge and overcast the edges with siik. The stem or foliage may lie cut of some treen velveteen similarly treated, aud then the veins aud hearts may be worked with light-brown crewel- Ad Odd I'lace to get Water. A new source of water supply in the vast desert mountain ranges ot California aud Arizona is worthy of note, so rain falls over a wide are. It is covered with cactus plants of every varietv, and they are juicy. Millions of land tortojses feed on these plants aud Indians make soup of them, luside of each is an anatomical tank that holds about a pint of water. Many are cut open to get at this tank. The water is palatable. Thus meat and drink aie supplied and the dry cic'.us makes exrelleut fuel. The law of com pensation is here forcibly illustrated. The Trane-Saharian railroad project is to be temporarily laid aside in consequence of the deplorable ma'sacre of Col. Flatters and the other member of hi expedition DOMESTIC. Gnu Gooaunsnu rot Tabtb. Pill very clean, dry, wide-necked bottle with gooseberries picked the same day, in dry weather, and just before they have attain ed their full size. Wrap a little bay round each bottle, and set them up to their necks in a boiler of cold water, which should be brought very gradually to a boil ; a little hay must be put in the bottom of the boil er, and the bottle fixed firmly. Let the fruit simmer gently until it appear shrunken and perfectly scalded, then take out the bottles, and fill op as many as you can quite full with some of the cooked gooseberries it i generally necessary to sacrifice one of the bottles in doing una, taking care not to break the fruit. Direct ly the bottle are full of goose borrws, pour boiling water into the bottles up to the brims, else they will mildew. Tie bladder over the top immediately, and keep the bottles in a dry, cool place. When the goose borne are used, pour off the greater part of the water, and add the same sugar as for fresh truit, of which thty ought to have the same flavor and ap pearance. Prepared in this way, goose berries are perfectly wholesome, and will keep until the fruit come in again. Dbawx W'okk bTiTCHE. These are for use on linen or crash. For towels, table covers, buffet scarfs and doylees they are most admirable. The pupd may begin with the eld hemstitch, and as she pro gresses, add lace stitches herring-bone but tonhole, overcasting, chain stitch, darning and knot stitch. Draw the threads from the end of a piece of linen lor about an inch in depth." Pass a thread through the middle ot the strands that are left, cross ing and catching tbem in bunches of two or three. This can be used as the heading tor fringe around day lee. Catch and secure with your needle a few threads close to the body of the stuff at top aud bottom of a drawn space. This leaves the effect of even rows of threads a little separateiL Then use a chain stitch to draw these rows together in bunches of four in the center. The foregoine pattern may be elaborated by a thread miroduced in a waving line over and under the buuehes of threads. Repeat this waved line in returning, and where the line cross in the center finish with small figures in lace stitches. An in irenious workman will make endless com binations and varieties for herself. Fob tbb Sick. Frequently we find sick people whose stomachs reject all Kinds of nourishment, until conditions follow that are in many cases fatal. I have never known the simple saucer of parched corn puddimr refused. The corn is roasted brown, precisely a we roast coffee, ground as fine as meal in a coffee-mill, and made either into mush, cruel, or thin cakes, baked lightly brown and given either warm or cold, clear, or whatever dressing the stomach will retain. Parched corn and meal boded in milk, and fed frequently to children suffering from summer diarrhoea, will almost always cure, as it will dysen tery in adults. Woirrn Kkowisg. A poison of any conceivable description and degree of pot ency, which has been swallowed, inten tionally or by accident, may be rendered instantly harmless by swallowing two gills of sweet oil. An individual with a ' very strong constitution should take twice the quantity. This oil will neutralize every form of vegetable poison with which the physicians and chemists are acquainted. Cut this out and save it ; you might nave great cause of congratulation for doing so. Boxnet iUbket. In some English houses a bonnet basket is found in the bed room assigned to each guest. A flat wicker basket with a cover, large enough to noia two or three hats or bonnets, may be lined with nink or blue diagonal sileiia. tue t ip interlaced with ribbon to match, which is tied in bows at the corner of the lid. A square of friuged-out linen with a design ot daisies embroidered in the center, can be made to embellish the lid, u desired. Ctvbob Cau. One cup of butter, two of sugar, three of flour, four eggs, one cup of milk, one teaspoonful of soda, two of cream tartar and a pinch of salt. .Make the cake, put in the pan, cut the citron thin and put in the cake endways ; push down until the batter covers the citron, and this will prevent the citron from falling to the bottom of the pan. Mistakd Plasties By using syrup or molasses for mustard plasters, they will keep soft and flexible, and not dry up and become hard, as when mixed with water. A thiu paper, or fine cloth should come ltetween the plaster and the skin. The strength of the plaster is varied by the ad dition of more or less flour. Cube iron IIoabsesess.

For the purpose of determing the capaci ty of a horse to undergo the p ivatioos inci dent to a tlat-3 of siege, a series of experi ments have been made in Pans. 1 he re sults show that a horse may hold out for twenty-five days without any solid nourish ment, p.ovided it is supplied with sufficient good drinking water ; that a horse can sub sists for barely five days without water ; and, thirdly, that if a horse is well fed for ten days, but insufficiently mppiied with water throughout this period, it will not out live the eleventh day. A horse which had received no solid nourishment for twelve days was, nevertheless, in a condition to draw a load of 000 pound on the twelfth day of in fatt. Cutting Hole in Glatt. The opera tion of making bole and sections in giass and porcelain is often a troublesome and unsatisfactory one. The firm f Richter & Co., in Chemnitz, have found a way of so impregnating thin German silver disks (15 to 25 mm. diameter) with diamond, that when fitted to a quickly rotating tool, these cut tlirough glass or porcelain in a few sec onds, or effect any desired carving with great accuracy. With cylinders mad on the came principle, round holes ean be quickly and exactly mad. The wear of the implement, even alter much tue, is hardly perceptible. ArMOCCLTCBlL. Effect of Heat o Hoes. Hogs gener ally gain very little during the summer on account o the neglect on the part of their owners to provide for their comfort. In some cases their skin cracks open by the influence of the direct rays of the sun, and sores are formed which are infested by insects. The large amount of tat contained in the body of the hog renders it impatient of heat, and means should be provided for rendering the animal a end at possible. The pastures in which hog are kept should oe well supplied with water, not only for drinking but for cooling purposes. If there sie no natural streams or ponds, there should be pools made in which they can wallow when they desire. They should have plenty of grass and other green food, as well as sour milk and slops. Corn and other beating articles of food should be fed sparingly. Cooling shade is essential to the comfort and well being of hogs during the hot days of summer. Farmers who have the advantage of groves and forests located on the banks of streams and rivers, or on ihe shores of lakes, generally have little trouble with hogs during the summer. The ground protected by the trees and bushes remains cool and inoUt even when that exposed to Uie rays of the sun is parched and hot. The streams and ponds afford water for drinking and "" bathing. The hog is a cleanly animal when it is allowed a fair chance. If a hog pasture contains no natural shade and water, they should be provided. Water can be con ducted through pipes from springs and wells at a small expense, and made to supply poels and watering troughs. Shade can he afforded by planting trees or erect ing sheds covered by straw or running vines. Gtwcm aid bow to afplt it. Gypsum sulpnate of lime, is not strictly a fertil izer, yet it act directly upon the plant and indirectly upon the soil as a fertilizer. When sown upon growing crops especially clover and the grasses, it attracts and gathers the ammonia of the atmosphere, snd fixes it upon vegetation, deliquescing upon the leaves nod spears, so that it is taken up into the circulation. This am monia not only serves as one of the nutri tive elements of crops, but is carried by the circulation down into the roots and acts as a fertilizer in after years. It does not benefit the crops upon all soils, for in stance, it has not been found beneficial to crops in the tide water district of Virginia, as well as other localities. When clover, grasses aud other crops, are two or three inches high, and the dews are heavy, sow the gypsum on the growing plant when heavdy ladcu with dew before evaporation takes place in the morning. The plaster adheres to the green crops, forming a sort of mucilage, attracting the ammonia, and fixing it in the plants. One bushel, or less quantity will suffice for an sere, ana do just as well as a large quantity Its influ ence is felt and seen, upon tue crops in a few weeks after being sown. It is good for all garden vegetables and Tinea, and dusted upon them frequently, will drive away insects. Barse lions Souethibo. .Nearly every farmei goes to the nearest village to trade. visit a mechanic, or obtain his letters and papers, at least once a week. He often takes a load to market, but he rarely brings one home. He can, wnh very little trou ble, haul a load of material that may be obtained for nothing, aud which will be of great benefit to his land. Host village people make no use of the ashes produced in their stoves or the bones taken from the meat they consume. Scarcely any brewer has any use for the hops that have been boiled in his vats, and the blacksmith hardly ever saves the clippings he takes from the feet of horses. All these materi als maki j xceilcnt manure. A ban el of shavings cut from the hoofs of horses con tains more ammonia than is contained in a load of stable manure. Applied to land without preparation, they might give no immediate results, but they would become decomposed in time, and crops of all kinds would derive benefit from tbem. 1 hey may be so treated that they would produce im mediate results. By covering them wilh fresh horse manure they will decompose very rapidly. They may also be leached in a barrel and the w ater that covered them drawn off and applied to plants. Water in which pieces of horns and hoofs have been soaked is an excellent manure for plants that require forcing. It stimulates the growth of tomatoes, rose bushes and house plants very rapidly, and emits no ollensive odors. A vast amount of fertil izing material is wasted in towns that far mers could obtain the beneht of with very little trouble. Grease is fatal to all insect lit. . Insects breathe by means of small pores on their sides. Urease or oil that comes in contact with the insects closes the pores and stops the breathing. Murcurial ointment kills as much by the lard in it as by the mercury that is, so fur as the vermin are concerned, but not as to the animals that lick it off from their bodies, so that almost any oily or greasy application will be destructive to insect vermin that infest animals, if it is applied where it wul do the most good. Cow Feed. All keepers and feeders of cows should bear this in mind, that a cow cannot make cud wheo fed on shorts or meal alone. These must be mixed with lougcr feed, either in their manger or in the animal's stomach. It is not necessary to mix these substances before feeding, as the motion of the stomach will mix them sufficiently to form a cud. Wbkx corn and oats are gnund up to gether they affoid an excellent feed for horses, when fed with hay or wheat straw which furnish bulk. When the grain is so ground together, in equal parts by weight, ten pounds of it with twenty pounds ot the cut straw mixed with it, will make thiee fair rations, or one days's feed for an average horse having moderate exercise. The wood of drinking-water tanks may be preserved by coating it with genuine aspbaltum, purified by melting it over a fire and alining it occasionally for six hours. Apply to the dry wood and let it stand several days before wetting. The way Flat Glass U Mad. To cast, roll, polish and burnish plate glass requires machinery of peculiar con struction, and a "plant" that is costly by reason of its complex nature. The pouring of liquid glass from the furnace upon the cast iron plates, and the subsequent rolling, are processes comparatively simple. Any housekeeper who has used a rolling-pin on a batch of pie-crust dough, performs an opera tion very similar to this stage of plate class making. It is the succeeding process of grinding and polishing and final burnishing that require time and costly mechanism. After leaving the rolls and bed plate glass is rippled and rough, and only fit for grat ings or sky-lights. Each plate must be transferred to machines that resemble the tables of a railway. On the revolving plat form the glass is cemented into a bed of plaster of Paris, and the machine started. Bearing heavily on the surface ot the glass are blocks of metal, and while in motion the surfaces are kept supplied with sharp sand and a constant stream of water. The next stage of the glass grinding process is the same as to machinery, but instead of sand coarse emery is used. The finer emery is used in another revolving table, and so on for half a dozen times. The final polishing is done by heavy reciprocating devices, fed with rouge, and maintaining a constant br.ck and forward motion, and also lateral movement over the surf ar of the crystal. All this require the assists not) of a large force of men, many of them (killed labor er. After going through these different grinding and polishing, th plats that mea sured an iaeh in thieknss i only three quarter of an inch thick, has lost all its roughness, and is ready lor th show win- daw f th purchaser.
