'II Lahonl Women. A recent traveler in tle province of XaIwuI, between lnelia and Thibet, saj-s: " Near each village was a carefully-cultivated willow orchard (all pollard trees), nnd also patches of carefully-irrigated bar ley and buckwheat. In the fields women were working ; from the house-tops women stared at us, and women carried our tm.5 page. "Where, then, are the men? Vie lound, on inquiry, that all the able-bodied males pass the summer in transjortin merchandise between Ladak, Chumba and Kulu, and sometimes further, on strong, well -shaped, sure-footed pennies; and not a few, no doubt, spend the summer months in contraband trafllc on theirown ac count. " With the ladies, therefore, the summer is a busy time. They have to sow, to reap ana to garner; to stack firewexxl for w inter on the flat house-top, and look uflcr the children, and last not least to carry the baggage of a chance Englishman for a march" or two (but this last occupation is of such rare occurrence that it has all the charms of novelty for them), so that when the pood men return home from their travels they hare nothing to do but to fmoke their pipes, and liiticrnate through 1 . . . . . fnA .

" These women were the strangest speci mens of womankind it had been my lot to see at once the most dressy and ugliest of their sex! Their costume, how shall I descrile it? Their surpassing ugliness, how portray ? Their hair, of a rusty black, is plaited into a number of tails, which reach to their waist, and of which the ex tremities are collected together and tied under a small bit of mother-of-jH-arl shell, from which again hang rows of be:uls and small bells of metal. These jingled as tln-y moved like bells of a carrier's team. A band of red cloth or leather, alnnit two or three inches broad, reaches from the forehead back over the crown of the head, sind falls as far as the waist. This is studded with rough turquoises, large but ill-shaped and full of flaws. Their color, too, is green, not blue, and they are of little value. This is the fashionable head dress. Some (but these may possibly have In-en suffering from neuralgia) wore flaps of black sheepskin over the ears oreil hites, iu act; ami they all of them added as many beads of amber, of mother-of-pearl and coral as they came by. Neck laces of amber, carnelian, coral and glass (generally the latter) hung around their tawny throats, from which depended rude amulets of silver; nor were armlets and ear-rings forgotten. A coarse, warm jacket "of woolen cloth, a jetticeat of divers colors (principally blue, red, yellow, and green), and glass shoes or sandals completed the costume. A few of them too wore undressed shecpr-kins hanging down over their shoulders and fastened in front across the breast by skewers the most primitive of mantles. They all car ried small baskets slung at their backs ready for a load, and most of them had a baby in arms, which, when the able bodied matron who owned it had decided what baggage she should carry, was hand ed over to the care of one of the bigger children. "Their sunken features, broad, flat, square visages were well worthy of their ignoble selling; the eyes, narrow, small and twinkling, seemed eternally endeav oring but in vain to squint over the prom inent cheekbone and peep at the flat, bnmd nose below. The mouth, wide and tliick-liicd though it was, was the re deeming feature, for it was generally on the broad grin and gave an expression of good nature to the otherwise dull, vacant lace. Their figures, squat, short and broad, were the reverse of graceful, but they walk away under the burdens which tlie men of Sinia would have grumbled at the weight of. It was quite a jour de fete, for them and they had brought their wliole family with them to share in its de lights. Thev were by far the lx-st coolies we had had, were these sturdy, good humored ladies of Lahoul." Aztec Relics. A correspondent writes from the city of Mexico: Yc visited the National Museum, where I should like to pass days, so inter esting arc its contents. The collections of natural history and of minerals are very good, 'but not so attractive as the relics of the Aztecs and of their conquerors. In the courtyard is a huge stone which is supposed to have been the altar upon which the victims were slain as sacrifice, their hearts cut out and carefully prepared to bo eaten as a sacrament. There are al so some huge, grim stone idols, one of which had a countenance which reminded me of the Sphinx in Egypt, with the famous serjK?nt images sculptured from basal, which are presumed to have been used in the worship of Quetzalcoatal the ' feathered serpent" the " god of the air." In the museum are many curious musical instruments, weapons and other relics of the Aztecs, with some really beautiful terra-cot ta funeral vases. These recepta cles for remains of deceased humanity are nearly two feet high and over a foot in diameter, with graceful handles and orna ments oT sunflowers and ears of corn. Be sides these symlols, the vases still exhibit the brilliant colors of blue, vermilion, yellow and brown with which they were originally tinted. In one room we were shown, on the floor, the suits of steel armor worn bj- Cortez, the conqueror, and Pedro de Alvarado, his faithful Lieutenant. Bo:h must have been small-sized men, and I regretted to learn, after I had left the museum, that there was a ortrait of C-ortez in ii stack of grim pictures of the Mexican Viceroys which we saw piled in a corner but did not examine. It is to be IiojxhI that this wonderful collection, a sight of which would repay any anti quarian for a journey to Mexico, w ill soon be arranged and catalogued. Meanwhile Aztec idols, otc, are manufactured near the city and sold to those who desire them " to ioint a moral or adorn a talc." There is a negro boy at Henderson, Ky., who, for the hardness of skull, is without a parallel in the State. Last month Wash Smith (that's his name) and a companion were out shooting near the railroad, when by some means a disorder ly and angry altercation cnsuc.il letween them, and a struggle soon followed, where upon the other negro cocked his gun, and, taking aim at Wah"s head, discharged a full load of No. 4 hard-shot against this imjiortant feature of his constitution. Strange t") relate, the shot were hurled liack agaimt the aggressive party with such violence as to wound him in several places. Not so much as even a dent could le detected on any part of Wash's fore head, although the shot struck hini on several places, lie was, a week or so after this, passing the base-ball grounds when one of the boys offered to give him a cigar providing he would not object to teing struck across the forehead with a bat. To this Wash readily assented, and Bill Grayson, who proposed to do the striking, hit him a lick sufficient to fell an ox. The iicsto was hardly staggered by the blow, and now wants to know " if any pusson is got any mo' scgars to gib way." Chicago Tribune. A nrnED girl should be ingenious. One of them, in the employ of a West street family, discovered a unique way of ex tracting teeth. She suffered nearly a whole week with an aching tooth but had not the courage to go to a dentist. One afternoon it troubled her so much as to force her to look for a remedy, and she finally hit uMn a plan. With a piece of stout twine she made a loop which she put about her tooth. Then she took a bit of soap and rubbed it on the floor opposite the back door. The other end of the twine she fastened to the knob of the closed door, then she took a position cn the soajed loards and commenced to lean back. When she had acquired a slope of about forty-five degrees the soap suddenly took hold and she came down on the floor with such force as to knoc k a pair of ten dollar vases from a mantel up stairs. And there she sat reaching out for breath when the affrighted family m- .le their appear ance, while the offending tooth dangled from a string against the door. JJunbury Neves.

If we are to judge a party according to he burden of responsibilities which it has )orne through a series of years, w e are "breed to give the highest credit to the Bc niblican party. Perfection Is not to be expected in anything devised by human wisdom. Faults will be found in the best arranged system. Faithless men will creep into power despite the greatest care to exclude them. This has lecn.the expe rience of the world r.int e the beginning of lime and VT ill ho doubt continue to lc. The human, and not the divine, must be the standard of all governmental action w hen we come to pass judgment upon it Judged by this standard the party now holding power has 'had an equal record for honesty and official integrity. No just comparison can be instituted between the transactions of the Republi can party and the parties which have hith erto administered the Government. Its responsibilities hare been of such magni tude, its field of labor so extensive, its history so crowded with great events, that its fourteen years of power far outweigh in iiniortancc the seventy-one years which prec eded them. It seems like idle boast ing to say that the Republican party through its administration of public af fairs lias borne responsibilities greater than all the Administrations from 17t"J to 18(51. Yet such is the fact, as the official records clearly indicate. Let us examine these records and, by the comparison of figures, obtain a few valuable facts. How stands the record on the question of revenue? We hll see. The net ordinary revenue o' (he Gov ernment from March 4, 17SK, to June 30, lMJO, was, according to the official reports of the Treasury Department, $ 1 ,r30tvJ34,-or,o..-,:j. This is a large amount, but it covers a period of seventy-one yearn. From 1SC.0 tojiinefiO, 1874, the period, lacking about nine months, for w hich the Republican party stands responsible, the net ordinary revenue of the Government w as .$ 4,4:57, 1S,7C."5. 12, or more than double the net revenue of the preceding seventy one years. Yet the extraordinary expenses necessary to put down the slaveholders' rebellion crowded this vast amount of rev enue into the short space of fourteen years. Let us examine the list of expenditures and sec how that account stands: The net ordinary expenditures of the Government. March 4,170, to JuneUO, lijtJO, were l,7:Jl,7:54,(i7:J.72. From June :50, 1S(!0, to June 30, 1874, a period of four teen years, the net ordinary expenditures wcrc'f !,4ti.'i,8U7,!i"22.84, or more than three times the expenditures of the preceding seventy-one years. The gross receipts and expenditures of the Government, which include the loan transactions, show a still greater contrast. The gross receipts from March 4, 178!). to June 30,18(50, were $2,18O.-288,!)70.r:. From June 30, 18(50, to June 30, 1874, they were $ i2,117l.,0!),,,.!4, or more than five times the total receipts of the previous seventy-one years. The total gross expenditures from March 4, 178!), to June 30, 18(50, were 2, 1.10,0 14,4l."i.l8. From June 30, 1?(0, to June CO, 1874, they were $ll,li."i,794,4l2. 24, or more than five times the total gross expenditures of the previous seventy-one years. Yet, with these immense receipts and expcndituics, made necessary by the sup pression of the Democratic slaveholders' ret k-I lion, the records show a degree of official integrity without a parallel in the history of Governments. Vice-President Wilson, in 1872, in referring to this sub ject, said : 44 During the war we paid through the Paymaster's department of the army more than a thousand million dollars. That money was paid sometimes when troops were on their march, sometimes when they were under tire, and we lost less than a quar.cr of a million dollars. Never in the history of the human family was there any higher evidence of integrity. In the war of 1812, in paying out the little money we paid during that war, we lost about two million dollars. Since Gen. Spinner entered upon his office of Treasurer of the United States. $.",000,000,000 have passed through his office, counted by from three to four hundred men and women. We have lost between fifty and sixty thousand dollars in these eleven years, while $53, 000,000,000 have gone through the office. 44 '1 here has been collected under Gen Grant's Administration, in three yearn, nearly $1,200,000,000 nearly $400,000,000 a year: there; has been paid out nearly fl'tXMl.000,000 making about $2,100,000, tKK). We have lost out of this immense sum, in all the departments of the Govern ment, $1,2.-0,00U less than a fifteenth part of 1 per centum ! 44 We have paid out during these three years $!0,000,000 in pensions, and we have had five defalcations, all of them sol diers, nnd four of them shed their blood for the country. But the Government has not lost a dollar, tor the agents made good their accounts, or their bondsmen did it for them." These remarks are as applicable to-day as when they were uttered. The same honesty and economy which characterized the President's first term have distin guished in even a greater degree the first half of his second term. A vcr careful calculation of losses sus tained was embodied in an official letter from the Secretary of the Treasury in 1872. As equal honesty has Ik-cii practiced in all the departments since the date of this let ter it may be safely taken as a basis for present calculation. According to this letter the per cent, of losses to the Govern ment in the collection of internal revenue since March 3, 180!), was less than one-fiftieth of 1 per cent, of the amount collected, or less than $2 in $10,000. In the collection of the customs for the same time the loss was $28,000, out of $.V33,000,O0O, or the one-hundredth part of 1 per cent., or less than $3 in every $100, 000.000. The loss to depositors through our na tional banking system was the one-hundred and eighty-sixth part of 1 per cent, equivalent to $5.37 in every $ 100.0(H). Republic Magazine. 57" The spark of chivalry still moldcrs in the Southern breast, as one must be con vinced .by reading a little incident con nected . wi;H the civil-rights agitation, which is recorded in. the Savannah. Neirs. One day recently 44 a "well-dressed negro" entered a passenger coach on the Georgia Central Railroad and took a scat. The Southern paper mentioned above say that 44 there w ere a few ladies and about half a dozen gentlemen'' in the car at the time. As soon as the gentlemen learned that the conductor was powerless to eject the ne gro they gathered around the person of color and commenced spitting tobacco juice irpon him. lie appealed in his turn to the conductor, w ho informed him that he could not restrain the actions of South ern .gentlemen. The chivalrous Georgians continued to snfear the negro with their saliva until he was covered from head to foot. Then one of the gentlemen went to the water-cooler and, llin.g his mouth with water, returned to the negro and squirted it into ihe face and over the shirt front of the African with that projecting force which only the Southern mouth knows how to exert. The negro tied to the smoking car, w here his less-ambitious colored brethren and sisters were riding. The details of this occurrence are given with great gusto by the Savannah jYtir, which characterizes the method employed as ' a cool mid effe ctive wav to defeat the Civil-Rights bill." We congratulate the Southe rn ladies on having such chivalrous protectors from the society of 44 well dressed negroes." Chicago Hint. Why doesn't Gov. Hendricks, of Indiana, hasten to send some measure of sympathy to the Democrats of Ohio? If he thinks they didn't stand in need of what Henry Clay called ' moral aid," he is verv much mistaken.

As a general thing shopmen and theatrical agents content themselves w ith a selection from among these stock designs, as special ones cost considerably more.

A leading" show-printing henise in this fcity lias alxiit iOO large pictures, af fording their customers a wielc range of choice in pictorial advertisement. One can get anything one wants, from a picture of an epizootic horse to a May-pole dance or an Indian hunt We will supose, however, that some en terprising manager has a brand-new play, and wants to get out a new anel splendid lot of posters. The manager of the show -printing house talks things over w ith him, gets an idea of what scenes he wishes to be represented, and if portrait work is de sired pictures of the actors and actresses are handed over. Next the artist comes intel play. Ho makes Pkejcties Of the scenes desired, according to the specifica tions furnished, anel these are altered and modified to suit the taste of the theater manager until the designs are approved. The preliminary sketches are .ordinary small drawings, anil are merely the minia ture designs, the pictures furnished to the engraver lcing prepared quite differently. These the artist draws in black crayon, directly on the engraver's woetd, the same eir.c as they nfft in be en- f:raved. There are generally a number of ilook to the picture, ami, when the drawing is made, the blocks are divided among the different workmen. In draw ing the pictures, as a matter of course, they are reversed from the position thcywil'l appear In the printed copy, just as. with type. I he size of the Mocks used Irt the engraving for show-printing is 28x42 inches. The wood used is a dry, sort pine, yielding easily te the engravers' tools, and which, for such breael-like work as is nec essary in show-printing, is much better than the hard lox-wood used in fine wood cuts. A block is used for every color, so that, with the ordinary three-sheet tour color poster, twelve blocks are used. The only full engraving, however, is made on the blocks which are to take the outline color of the print technically called the "key" color, which is generally black. The faces anel figures and outlines of the picture are chine so as to make a good print in one color, the other blex-ks being useel to introduce the others. By way of illustration suppose it is de sired to represent a lady standing by a seashore, anel she is to have on a yellow dress with white lace trimmings, a purple colored overskirt, a red fan and neck-scarf, with green fediage anel blue skies around. On the first set of blocks flic outlines Of the picture are engraved, and such parts as it it desired to have black are put in. as, for instance, the hair, ej-es, feet and the shad ows of the picture. In such portions of the picture where the colors arc to be dark light lines are thrown across, w ide spaces being dug out between. The next set ol bhcks, it will le supposed, are to intro duce the red cohir. The engraver on this digs out all the portions of the picture that are not to be printed in red. Across the face he will leave fine lines, thicker and closer on the cheeks, with wide spaces lietween them, and across the overskirt throws heavier lines, while the fan and the neck-scarf will be left solid. Lines are run into the sky wherever a sunset glory is to appear in the picture. The blerfcks feir the yellow color are cut away in the same manner, the surface being per mitted to remain only where yellow is to go. Yellow is the ground color of the green, so it gees over the foliage and other green jiortions of the picture. Lastly .comes the blue, the block being cut so as to bring it over the j-ellow where green is to be made and over the black anel red to make a purplish color. It will be seen that out of the four primary colors used others are obtained by their combination, and to the casual spectator a good show print will appear to contain a great mini ler of colors, when there are only fenir. The work is done to be looked at "from a distance. Thus the narrow lines of red thrown across the face and hands of the figure appear as a flesh tint at the distance of the spectator. Amass of black, blue and red lines appear as a purplish tint. The brownish tints on the trunks of the trees on close inspection appear te be black anel yellow lines with perhaps some red anel blue thrown over the dark shades. As has t)cen said, the green is but a mixt ure of blue anel yellow. Fine lines make light shades of color, heavy and close lines make dark shades, anel by combinations many shades and tints can be obtained. To bxjk at the color-blocks as they leave the engraver's hands there is ne appear ance of order or design. There is a tangle of scratchy lines here, and a patch of mooth surface there, while over the greater portion of the block the wood has been dug out to a slight depth below surface, isut in printing the lines patches come to the right places on paper to make red lips, rosy cheeks various cohrs of the dress of the lady, and all the adornments of the landscape. Printing from these blocks requires much greater care and is a much slower process than ordinary printing from metal type. Generally the blocks making up the picture ale brought together to receive the last touches of the engraver. The en graving is worked over from one block to another, so as to prevent breaks in lines anel shades that might otherwise occur, and give the picture a checkered appear ance. The picture, w hen occupying more than one block, is not printed as a whole, but impressions are taken from the blocks separately and the sheets are put together bv the bill-poster when he sticks them up. The blix k are printed on a press having a flat bed. which slides backward and for ward under the rollers which impress the paper against the face of the cut. After a sheet has received one color it goes through the press with another set of blocks to receive another color, and so on until all the colors have been put on. About 700 sheets per hour is a good work ing rate for a chromatic press. As for each color there is a separate impression, an ordinary three-sheet, four-color poster, such as is used by theatrical agents, would reqiHre twelve impressions to make one whole picture. One office in this city has six Potter presses, which were man ufactured in New York expressly for printing show-bills in colors, and are said to be the most complete presses in ex istence. Beside the four colors mentioned other tints are occasionally used in very fine work. Among these are brown, stone color and salmon color. Green ink is used for type work. Gold, silver and bronze are used sometimes in very fancy work but these are put in by hand. The places where they are to go are printed with a Bizing fluid, and while the sheets are still wet gold, 6ilver or bronze dust, a the caso may be. is brushed on with cotton battlas. TUfi (Jifiert-ot pigments the anil the and use'A id thb Inks are mixed in a sort of var nish oii, and in the presses there is a series of rollers, the function of which is to apply the ink smoothly and evenly to the surface of thi bhck: CuiMrcd iks cot from fifty cents to thirty-two dollars a pound, the latter being the price for fine carmine. The ink in 100 copies of a three-sheet poster costs from fifteen to twenty dollars. On an average, a sheet in colors costs fifteen cents: The thrg Wr posting is fyur cents a sheet, so that a three-sheet iester, when stuck up, represents an expenditure of fifty-seven cents. It is a common thing to see nine, twelve and even twenty-sheet posters out, so that each of the latter would represent a cost of $3 80.

Certainly nO trfatisC (hi the resources of California weiuld Je coin idetc that did mt include him: lie may be somewhat vaguely defined its a ruffian in embryo. Young in years he is venera ble in sin. He knows all the vices by heart, lie drinks, gambles, steals, sets buildings on fire, rilles the pockets of ine briated citizens going home in the small hours, paraeles the streets at night singing obscene songs, uttering horriel oaths anel striking tcrrer to the heart cd the timid generally. Occasionally he varies the programme of his evil deungs by perpe trating a highway robbery, blowing open a safe or braining nn incautious critic of Ills Conduct. One of his. Chief diversion, when he is in a more pleasant rilrJOil aliel at peace with the world at large, is ston ing Chinamen. This he has reduced to a science. He has acquired a dexterity in the use of missiles, a delicacy anel firm nfcss bf handling; an accuracy. of aim. and prcuisioh of movement that st ldoin tail i bring the hated heathen down. Accord ing to the .hoodlum ethical code to stene Chinamen Is ho sin. It is better than pastime it is a work of righteousness; The hoodluin is of ho particular national ity, he must simply be young and de praved. He must have broken most of the commandments before he has got far in his teens. He may be the son of a beg ear, he may be the son of a millionaire. There is ho aflstocfacy in this republic of l-rimfe. The great mass of recruits arc'; or course, gathered frrhn ihe leiwtr classes, but 44 our best soc iety" has liequcathed to the order some of its most brilliant representa tives. This sudden efflorescence of a sharply defined criminal class among ntys for the hoodlum first appeared only three or fenir years age is somewhat alarm ing. It shows that there is a screw leose somewhere in our social mechanism. Nowhere else are th restraints of parental authority so lit.4 a lire. A Inrg portion of the people have no homes. The- live, or rather they exist, in hotels, in boarding houses, in lodging-henises, eat tit restau rants, spend their days at their places of business and their evenings tit resorts of amusement. Their children are allowed tei mn wild, learn slang at their mother's breast, swear in pinafores, and prattle in the jargon of the street. The distracted parents, failing te govern them, give up the fight, allow them to go out nights nnd have their own waym everything. From this point the road to rtilti is so short and direct that it needs no guide board to point the way. lloodlumism is a disease so virulent, so rapid in its spread, that moral physicians are at their wits' end how to treat it. All sorts of remedies are proposed, but the most practical was that adopted by Mr. Ralston, the great banker, who, confronted by a combination of workmen who put up a 44 corner" on laming tor the 1'aiace Hotel, cut the con troversy short by setting several hundred boys to work to learn the business. This is the key to the whole case. Give the boys work and hooellumism will disap pear like a hateful excrescence. San William, in July Seribner t. Harvest Time. Oxly a few years ago harvest time was a season to be dreaded by the fanner and his wife. Every operation was perfermed by the severest manual drudgery and none but stout, able-lMMlied men or boys could render an-material assistance in the work of securing crops. Now, with the im proved machinery which science Hnd in ventive genius have furnished, the old and the young, the healthy anel infirm, can all be drafted into service, and the puny boy, who was almest useless lcfere, can accom plish more in an hour than the stoutest man could in a whole day's hard work. From w hat a fearful bonelage has the fanner lieen emancipated! Then he strained every muscle throughout the long, hot July day to cut two acres of grass; now he sits on a cushioned seat, an um brella over him and a jug of ice water by his side and accomplishes the same thing without starting the perspiration. Jndi rectly this improved machinery relieves the farmer's wife from a large share of the slavish toil which harvest formerly brought to her each vear. Then she was com pelled to cook In the hot kitchen during the hottest weather for a large gang of hands; now but little more than the ordi nary work is required. Notwithstanding the great aelvantagcs which machinery affords a great many farmers, from the mere force of habit, still make harvest a time fer rush anel hurry and undue prolonged lalor. We know men w ho work philosophically at all other times, but now throw prudence and com mon sense to the w inels, ami are in a continual worry and fret until every crop is secured. There are times in harvest when it is absolute ly necessary to hurry anel work unusually hard, anel iK-rhaps unusually late or early, to secure a crop from injury or detraction; but these are neH frequent in ordinary seasons and do not last lemg. It is the prolonged, con stant, every-day strain, early and late, without let-up or rest, that docs the injury and against which we protest. The human system can bear a certain amount of daily lalxjr without injury, but carried beyond this it wears out rapidly. In all the well regulated industrial establishments of the world ten hours are regarded as a full day's labor, fer it has been demonstrated that more can be accomplished in this time than by working longer. It may not le expedient, always, to limit the time on the farm to "ten hours, but that there should be a reasonable limit and a regular system maintained, as a general rule, no one can deny. We know men who, during harvest, frequently work till nine o'clock at night and then commence next morning at femr or five o'clock. Such men do not accomplish as much as they who take the requisite sleep and rest. A man can hold a ten-pound weight at arm's length, with the necessary alternate periods of rest, all day long, but he can paralyze his arms by holding a one-pound weight a given time without rest. Health is the greatest blessing a man can have in this life. It is worth taking care of, for when once lost it is rarely regained. During the heated term, when men of most occu pations seek rest and recreation, the farm er has it the hardest. Labor is doubly ex hausting at this season, and he should use all reasonable precautions against injury. The wliole boely should be bathed every morning, the diet should be well regu lated, highly stimulating drinks should be avoided, and work should cease whenever it becomes exhausting. Ohio Fanner.

A gentleman of my acquaintance, who is quite a c hicken fancier, says he has tried the tar and turpentine remedy, but thinks lie lias killed wUh it more chickens than he has cured; that tiie iiitthod of extract ing the worm or worms from the wind pipe by means of a horse-hair or very slenelcr wire is not always to be relied on; thai Ihe following is a remedy unfailing and instantaneous- .Put dry air-slacked lime into a bex and let it be fib' s'lrfed a te fill the Ikjx with the dust of it; then sua: deuly put in the chicken and cover with a piece of carpet Let the chicken be in from half a minute to a minute. The lime being inhaled CaUses the worms to be thrown oiit. The lime is very severe on the eyes anel it is well to wipe off what re hiitiris about them, but it docs no perma nent injury. V. Collins. Rosew eieD. It hasjmzzled many peo ple to decide why tlie dark wood .so highly valued for furniture should be Called rosewoexl. Its color certainly does not look like a rose, so we must look for some other reason. SVe are told that when the tre' s fresh cut the fresh wood possesses a very stroiig rOSe-like fragrance, hence the name. There are half a dozen OT tfierc kinds of rosewood trees. The. varieties are found in Soutl America and the East Indies and neighlorihg islands. Pome times the trees grow- so" large that plahk four feet broad and ten in length can be cut from one of them. These broad planks are principally used to make the tops of piano-fortes. When growing in the for est the rosewood tree is remarkable for its beauty, but such is its value in manufact ures as ah orriahH'ntal wfenl that some of tlie forests where it once grew abundantly now have scarcely a single specimen, lh Madras the Government has prudently had great plantations of this tree set out in order to keep up the supply. Ashes as a Fertilizer. From time immemorial ashes have been known anel valued as a fertilizer. They presumably contain all the mineral sub stances feiiind in plafits and . It is thee which arc most generally deficient in soils long cropped. Nitrogen is found in un limited quantities in the atmosphere and it is now generally conceded that soil or plants, or both, have some means of utiliz ing and retaining it. With this element supplieel, the chief probable deficiencies would be in phosphate of lite and potash. Ordinary wood ashes supplies both of these elements, notably the ietash of which, when nnleached, it usually con tains G to 12 or lnore per cent. The phosphate of lime in ashes is not in Very soluble, condition and it is retained with very slight loss aftfr leaching while there is also a considerable quantify of potash remaining in leached ashes. We have found some good farmers say they regard leached ashes fully as valu able as those nnleached. They are good farmers, anel their conclusion Tvn based on the results of experience. They had found by trial that leached ashes pro duced even better average results than ashes that were fresh and unleaehed. Of course there mut be a hss of potash anel some other soluble elements In the former case, and a result apparently so contra dictory to the popular idea deserves ex amination and if possible an .explanation. We have given this iiiattcr sortie thought, and broach a theory which will at least set our readers to thinking, Hnd may develop ideas still nearer the exact truth. While potash Is always valuable, and particularly se for some plants, the pertash in newly-burned ashes is not in best con dition to be available as plant food. It is just the thing for the soap-maker in its caustic stiite, as it will then eat the grease and make a goenl soap. But for growing plants this c austic potash is not imme diately available its alkali needs to be neutralized, leaving its mineral element in the form of a sulphate or nitrate of potash. It requires ho act of man te make this change. Nature and the ele ments will do it in very little time. Ashes kept in any confined place w here a current of air is net constantly blowing over them rapidly absorb moisture, and with that they have the faculty of uniting with the nitrogen of the atmosphere, feirming frem their potash a nitrate of potash or crude saltpeter, one of the most valuable of all mineral manures and freely soluble. Rut this nitrate of potash is unfit for soap making. Housewives have learned this, for they all know that they cannot make soap by leaching old ashes that have be come damp from hng exposure to the air. Why? They say the ashes have lost their strength; but the re has been nei leaching, so the mineral elements must still be pres ent. Nothing has gone from the ashes. It is only the nitric acid of the damp at mosphere which has neutralized the al kali of the potash anil formed a nitrate. No housewife would think of making soap from saltpeter, yet this is what is at tempted unless the ashes are fresh. These old ashes, damp from long ab sorption of moisture from the air, are just what the farmer wants for his crops. They have lost mest of their caustic properties their 44 strength" for soap but they are pist what is needed for manure. They give the plant both nitrogen and potash, each in its most available form, and cause growing plants to shoot up with astonish ing vigor. They are especially valuable for potatoes, corn and tobacco. Se im portant do we regard it that the alkali should be neutralized for immediate ben efit to crops that we would have a house built of stone and, if possible, partly un der ground for storing ashes. Here the change to nitrate of potash would go for ward rapidly, and once a year when cleaned out would furnish a considerable quantity of valuable manure. The same building could be used as a smoke-house, and being of stone would not be liable to be burned. Under some circumstances, not well understood, moist ashes are lia ble to siontaneous combustion, and would le dangerous if left in contact w ith wood. It is not doubted that fresh ashes will be gooel manure. This change to a nitrate can and does take place in the soil as well as elsewhere. It is quite probable that it does occur soon after the ashes are washed down into the soil, and only after the ashes are washed down into the soil can they do anv good. But the question arises, Does not the nitrogen in the soil uniting with potash detract so much from the soil's fer tility, while if the combination was made alibve ground It would bC sfl much addi tion thereto ? This subject involves trtany interesting questions well worthy the at tention of thoughtful farmers and scien tific men. llural New Yorker. SfcKtpfcRAL.
