Inhtalth this blood, purifying process is carried on without our knowledge., The organs in which it is done are faithful servants wlioio work is silent as long as health remains. "People straugely wait until pain strikes a nerve before they will realize., that they have any trouble. They do' not know that pain concerns chiefly the. exterior not the interior of the body. A certain set of nerves connect these blood-purifyinj orjaus with the brain. They may not gnaw and bite as does the tooth-ache or a scratch, but they regularly, silently report. When these organs are failing these neives indicate it by drawing the blood from th9 face and cheek, leaving the lip and eye blanched, by sending uric acid poison into the smallest veins, the skin then becoming gray, yellow or brown. They also prevent the purification of the blood in the lungs and cause pulmonary difficulties, weariness and pain.

The extensive use to which nails ani screws are put in construction leuds considerable Interest to any records oi exjierience tending to discover theii holding power. Haupt, In his "Mili tary Bridges," gives a table of the hold ing power of wrought-irou ten-penny nails, seventy-seven to the pound, and about three inches long. The nails were driven through a one inch board into a block, aud the board was then dragged In a direction perpendicular to the length of the nails. Taking a pine plank nailed to a pine block with eight nails to the square foot, the average breaking weight per nail was found to be 330 pounds. Similar experiments with oak showed the breaking weight . to be 415 pounds. With twelve nails to the foot square the balding power was 542j pounds and with six nails in line 4Gi pounds. The highest result obtained was for twelve nails to the square foot in pine, the breaking weight being in this case C12 pounds per nail. The average strength decreases with the increase of surface. Tredgold gives the force in pounds required to extract three-penny brads from dry Christiana deal at right angles to the grain of the wood as Cfty-eight pounds. The force required to draw a wrought-iron six penny nail was 1S7 pounds, the length forced into the wood being one inch. The relative adhesion when driven transversely and longitudinally is, in' deal, about two or one. To extract a common six-penny nail from a depth cf one inch in dry beech, across grain, re quired 1G7 pounds; in dry Christiana deal, across grain, 1ST pounds, and with grain, S7 pounds. In elm the force re quired was 327 pounds across grain, and 207 with grain. Ia oak the figure given was 507 pounds across grain. From further experiments it would ap pear that the holding power of spike nails in fire is from 400 to 730 pounds per inch in length, while the adhesive Sower of screws two inches long, 0.22 inch in diameter at the exterior of the threads, twelve to the inch driven Into ij-lncn board, was 700 pounds in hard wood and about one-halt' that amount !n soft wood.

Before the collections were made haphazard, and many of tliem were of but little value. -Now stamps are being collected in a different way and on a much more extensive scale. The archaeological instinct which prompts the collection is niore developed among the rich, as they have the means to collect the rarest specimens. In stamp-collecting considerable money is required, as some of them command prices ranging from fifty cents to $1.50 apiece, in proportion to their rarity. In this city there are at present collec tions being made in some of the wealth iest fannies. 'o collections in this city will com lare in point of numbers, rarity, age and value with the collection of William Fasteiiratii, w ho recently arrived in this citv from Mexico. This collection con tains over ten thousand stamps, which Mr. Fastenrath lias been gathering for the liist seventeen years. It was in lSiW, while at college in" Berlin, that he first was struck with the passion for collect ing stamps, and ever since that time lie has been assiduously increasing his stock, exercising the greatest caution in selecting his siiecitnem. So valuable is his collet ion that he lias been offered at different times large sums of money for its transference, and although but a short time in this city lias received an offer of $."5,000 for all of his spi-chiicus. Theso offers he has repeatedly refusnh A Chronicle reporter called upon Mr. Fastenrath at his residence on Sutter street, and that gentleman courteously agreed to exhibit his collection. In an swer to several questions regarding st:iniT callierincr. be renlied: "The value of a stamp does not de- jN-nd upon the size or itniNrtanee ot me country by which it was issued, but on the small number issued and the issue I iccomins extinct. Some of the rarest stamps are those of countries which are hardly known to the average reader. Sinc e the adoption of adhesive stamiH. some foitv-six years ago, there have been exactly 4$,("i00 different kinds, dis tinct and peculiar, issued by the differ ent countries of the world. Many of these arc lost aud can never lie obtained. To collection in the world is complete, although some in Germany and France have brought as much as $50,000, yet only comprised about 15.000 or 20,000 different issues." Mr. Fastenrath then oiened several large trunks and tok out numbers of p. . . . , , weii-bouna dooks, wnicu nau ixxu so cially manufactured for the purpose. The different countries were all provi ded with appropriate places in the dif ferent volumes, and all stamps were carefully and systematically arranged, commencing with 1S40, when stanq were first issued. Before that time let ters were sent folded and sealed with wax, the postage being either prepaid or collected on delivery. The collector first opened the volume printed "United States," and showed stamps commen ting from IS 17 the date of the first issue to the present time. In several places there were particular stamps missing, but the collect ion is almost com plete, liesides the general issues of the United States Government, the collec tion comprises selected specimens that were issued by the States before the adoption of sUunps by the General Gov ernment, and also stamps issued bj cities, such as St. Ixmis, Boston and Philadelphia. In the collection inert are also all the furious stamps issued bj the Confederate Govenunent from lSxil to 1804, which are dark in color aud are ornamented with the picture of Jeffer son Davis. The issue of Xew York State of 1S42 is very rare. The collec tion also contains one of the famous Brattleboro (Vermont) stamps. Following the United Suites collec tion is that of Mexico, dating from 1S57, and being complete up to the present time. Besides the general issue of the Government there are numbers ol local stamps issued by the towns and provinces. The stamps change fre quently in size, color and ornamenta- Ition, on account of the many revoiu- lions changing tne uovenimeni. i rarest stamps are those of Guadalajara. The third volume contains the Eng lish stamps, commencing 1S43. The first stamp in the collection is the fainoni V. K. stamp, leing the oldest in exist ence. Xext comes the one iwnny issue, and following this is every Issue up to the present time complete. The fourth volume is devoted to Ger man stamps, and is the most complete in the set. All the small, petty German States, ljefore the Confederation, are rep resented with selections in this ltook Oldenburg, Hanover, Hamburg, Schles-wig-IIolstein. After these come the first issues of the Imperial stamps the new Germany after the Confederation. The next volume is devoted to Rus sian stamps, especially the rare Finnish stamps, whose scarcity has caused many a heart-ache to the collector. There also a great variety of local stamps i fciied by the different provinces. Tho Italian collection is complete, commencing during the reign of Victor Emmanuel and reaching to the pre-sput time. In this collection are some c-f t!: rare Tuscan stamiw issued in 1850, s-!:e of which are valued all the way from $50 to $75 a piece. The Switzerland collection is also almost complete, including the Uv.it-s of Geneva, Zurich, and Basle, many of which are rare and valuable. Following these are the stamps of France, which are without a flaw or in terruption, and these are succeeded by volumes devoted to the smaller Euro pean countries. In one of these vol umes is the rarest stamp in the collec tion, issued in Moldau, a vlac in Kou mania, in 1858, and valued at $100. It is a large and curious stamp, being de voted to a representation of Uie head of a stag. After the Euroiean collection come some rare specimens of Asiatic stamps. The Persian collection comprises many rare issues. Following these is a rare set of stamps of the Island of Ceylon, issued in 17; and valued at $5'j apiece. Some of these are the most beautiful in the collection. Japan, Egypt, Moroc co, Liberia, Algiers, Cape of Good Hope and others m fact there is not a coun try in the world which ever issued nta:nis but is represented in part in Mr. I Fastenrath's volumes. I Thj last volumes of the collection are ailed with issues of South America. The issues of the United States of Co- lombia are valuable. The stamp known ! as the Jolema stamp is in this volume, and is valued at $75. Paraguay. Pata gonia, Chili, Peru, Brazil and Bolivia are all represented, in many cases the issues betng complete.

But there is rarely or never year when the grower of a good crop potatoes need make a loss on them. Some time within the twelve months a fairly remunerative price will be ob tained. This year, although potatoes have ruled dull and low most of the year, there were two spells when good prices could be had. One was just at jigging time, when most farmers were loo busy to rush their crop on the mar ket The other is, at the tail end f the season, just before new potatoes come in marvet. This high price late in the season cannot, however, help farmers to market a large crop, as the work of keeping in good condition till this time is too much except for a very few. But a few bushels that can lie spared will bring nearly twice asj much as the same quantity at last fall s and inter's prices. The cabbage worm, the larvae of the common butterfly, may be easily de stroyed in several ways. That of hand pickmg, if liegun before the first brood has passed into its perfect state, is effec tual. We have also found that pyreth rum powder mixed with five times its bulk of p'aster and dusted into the cen tre of the leaves with sulphur bellows is certain destruction to every one of them. The application of insecticides in liquids to the cabbage has not been satisfactory on account of the peculiar structure of the leaf surface, which al lows the water to fall off in drops and not adhere to any part of it. Paris green is unsafe to use after the leaves liave become over four Inches In diame ter. The roots of peach trees are of a por ous, spoLgy nature, and if set on moist ground they will grow rapidly in the third and fourth years and then die. Such trees never form fruit buds that mature fruit. Peach trees will not beat forcing with stimulating manures, even in sandy soil, as they will cause au overgrowth, and the fruit buds will drop off In the spring when the sap starts aud the buds begin to swell. Do not plant on ground rich euough tc grow onions, or the trees will make lat growth aud produce unripe wood that will be winter-killed. Most farmers have learned that cut hay or even straw wet and sprinkled with meal is better feed for working horses than whole grain and hay. 1c this shape the nutriment In the feed h easily eaten and easily digested. Horse: do not need water when eating, except as it is put on the chopped bay to make the meal stick to it. The meal being fine digests perfectly, while much of the nutnment in whole grain is lost. Again, the wasted effect made In digesting the latter is so much detracted from the strength which should go to the work. Figs can be produced in greenhouses, and may be grown in the open air at far north as Norfolk. Crops have been grown near Baltimore some seasons, but more care must be given them. In November a trench Is dug around the bushes, cutting away about half the roots made, when the bushes are vigor ous, but less If they are not so robust The branches are then bent to th ground and covered in the trenches wilt three or four Inches of earth. Ax intelligent farmer, who has watched the spread ot yellows among his peach-trees, advances the theorj that this is often brought by bees pass ing from one tree to another when it bloom. It is a fact that bearing tree: are more subject to yellows than thosi not in bearing. In seasons when frost destroys peach buds there Is less spread of yellows, though this may in part be due to the greater vigor of trees tna' are not bearing a crop of fruit Most fruits need a good deal of wa ter to ripen a full crop, but not man will do well cm laud naturally wet They want water, but it must not slaj long enough to become stagnant wa ter.

Buckwheai and peas are good, and may be turned under before frost ScrEnriiosriiATE, or bone manure, in any form is a specific for turnips oi rutabagas. English fanners discovered this and now apply bone manure U their root crops instead of to wheat, as is usually the practice here. If paris green is used to destroy in sects on young squashes, cucumbers and melons, It must be applied more spar ingly than tor potatoes. A tablespoon nil is sufficient for two ordinary jail fuls of water. If any disease attacks a peach tree, dig it up and put another in its place. In all probability it is a case of the yel lows, and Uie loss of a tree Is a trifle a? compared with the danger of spreading the infection. Turning sod under and immediate ly seeding down again by sowing grass seed along in August, or with grass in springtime, Is one of the best and cheap est ways of increasing the hay crop of the farm. Twooillngs of harness, except the collars, a year is enough; but the col lars should be oiled every two weeks during the working season, and the sweat and dirt be removed each morn ing with a dull knife.

Bub these over with alt on the rough outside, and fill the cuts in the same manner with salt; put them in a china or earternware bowl that will just hold them, and turn them once a day; let them lie thus four days. Par boll twelve cloves of garlic, or small onions cut into thin slices; add to these an ounce of white sugar, a handful or white mustard seed, aud as much cay enne pepper as will lie upon a dime.

Have the coffee ground as fine as the mill will permit and stir it over the frying-pan for one minute, then either enclose it in a small bag or put it into a cloth strainer fitted in the top of the coffee-pot J held in place by the rim of the pot or by a cir cle of wire. The best cloth is sheer, unbleached muslin, just substantial euough to confine the coffee grounds. Pour actual boiling water upon the ceffee, cover the pot and let It stand where It will keep hot without boiling for at least five minutes ten would be better. If the muslin is not too thick all the aroma and flavor of the coffee will pass into the water, and the coffee will be as clear as wine. The strength will depend on the quantity of coff ae nsed and the fineness of the grains. Heating the coffee before using it greatly improves it To Pickle Walxcts. They must be gathered before the 23th of June, when the green banc is tender enough to be easily pierced with a pin; after that they are too hard. Ly them in salt water for three weeks, then wash them from the salt and pour cold vinegar over them. After three or four days pour this off and use for catsup. Boil some vinegar for five minutes with cloves, mace, allspice and whole black pepper tied in a thin muslin bag. When it is still warm. Just cooled euough not to scald the walnuts (as that would skin them), pour It over them In a stone jar. For catsup boil np the first vinegar with the same kind or spices. Whoa butternuts are used Instead of English walnuts they must be scraped when taken from the salt water; follow all the other directions.

The Uaselt awl cwrds are homo-mad, ot white and colored cot tons to match figures of the stuff. This makes pretty work, as well as cool looking cushions, that are most agree able looking to the eye in summer. Other cushions for piazza chairs are tastefully made of scarlet and white bunting over unbleached muslin cov ets. A fixe frosting can be made of one cup of granulated sugar and one-f ourU cup of milk, without egg or gelatine. Method: Stir sugar and milk over t slow fire till it boils; boil five minutei without stirring; remove from the fire: set saucepan In cold water, or on Ice, while you stir it to a cream. Spread on cake while it will run. The advan tages of this frosting are that it will keep longer than the egg or gela tine frosting, and it will cut without breaking or crumbling. Flavored to suit the taste, It is excellent Potato Rolls.

The indiscriminate defence of right aud wrong contracts the understand ing, while it hardens the heart It is reported that Mr. Nordenfelt, the inventor of the well-known machine gun, has discovered that solid castings ot wrought-iron or mild steel may be obtained without changing the intrinsic quality of the metal by the addition of the metal aluminium, either alone or In the shape of an alloy. The aluminium makes the molten metal more liquid; thus the gases in the metal pass easily away, the metal runs smoothly Into the mouldsand a more perfect productis ob tained. Even a minute quantity of metallic aluminium added to the mol ten iron has an appreciable Influence. Perfect castings ot considerable ductili ty and great tensile strength have been made from the softest wrought-iron.
