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

im nt of the good things their helpmates
have provided for them.
" 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."

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

A Leaf from the Kecord.
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).

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. The' are getting
hard licks from one end of the country to
the other. A kind word or two now would

Although the show business was the

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

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.

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

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

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.
