The Iranmonaet. London, explains
why the beautiful cochineal and car
mine colors are so expeusive. It says:
One of the best and most powerful ani
mal dyes used in the arts and manu
factures is the body of the female cochi
neal insect, dried. This insect exists
on a species of cactus, and when alive
is about the size of a ladybird, or per
haps a trifle smaller. It is wingless,
rather long, equally broad all over, and
Ib marked behind with deep incisions
and wrinkles. It has six feet, which
curiously enough are only of use di
rectly after birth, and secures itself to
the plant by means of a trunk which is
found between the fore feet, and de
rives Its nourishment from the sap.
The male cochineal is like the female
only during the larra period. It
changes into chrysalis and eventually
appears m red dies. The female de
posits some thousands of eggs, whioh
she protects under her body until they
are hatched, and on the appearance of
the young oaas the parent dies. While
the youag are in the larva state their
ex cannot be determined. They lose
their skins several times, and while the
female fixes herself on the plant, the
male, after retting over the pupa state,
b winged. Two or three months is the
extent of the life of these little insects.
They are gathered before they lay eggs
aid are then rich in coloring matter.
Carmine to prepared from the cochi
neal insect, the Coccus acii, which is
collected by brushing the branches of
the cactus with the tall of a squirrel or
other animal; this is very tedious work.
They are killed by immersing them in
boiling water, ana this has to be done
atonoeor they would lay their eggs,
and thereby lose much of their value.
There are many processes for prepar
ing the carmine. The French process
may be taken as an example: one pound
of the powdered cochineal insects is
boiled for fifteen minutes in three gal
lons of water; one ounce of cream of
tartar it them added, and the boiling.
continued tan minutes longer; then one
ounce and a half of powdered alum is
thrown in, and the boiling continued
lor two minutes longer. The liquid is
then poured oft and set aside for the
oarnune to settle down. In other pro
cesses flfff"" of soda or potaah is
msed.

WHERE THE FIRE IS OUT.
Magic No More a Mystery Seen From
Across the World.
"Haroun of Aleppo," said Sir Philip
Derval, "had mastered every secret in
nature which the nobler magic seeks
to fathom.. He discovered that the
true art of healing is to assist nature
to thiow off the disease to summon
as it were, the whole system to eject
the enemy that has fastened on a part.
His processes all included the reinvig
oration of the principle of life."
In this the Eastern sage merely an
icipated the practice of the best phy
sicians of to-day. What life itself is
nobody knew then nobody knows
now. But we have learned something
of the reasons why the mj'Sterious tide
rises and falls. Provided the great
organs of the body are not irreparably
destroyed, medical science can always
relieve, and often save. Yet no reput
able physician now adheres to the bar
barous and stupid processes of deple
tion, such as bleeding, by which it was
attempted to cure disease by reducing
the patient's ability to resist it. Now-a-days
we do not tear down the fort Jc
help the garrison we strengthen it.
In this intelligent and beneficial work
it is conceded that Parker's Tonic leads
all other medicines. As an invigorant
it acts immediately and powerfully up
on the circulation aud the organs of
digestion, thus giving nature the assist
ance she calls for. It follows that all
ailments of the stomach, kidneys and
liver are at once relieved or cured. No
other preparation embodies the same
qualities or produces similar results.
It is delicious to use, and the best
known anti-intoxicant. Price 50c. and

How Watch Cases an Hade.
Most persons have an ambition to carry
a gold watch case, and yet few people know
how a watch case is made, or the vast dif
ference in the quality of them. In a Solid
Gold Watch Case, aside from the neces
sary thickness for engraving and polibhing,
a large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved por
tions in place, and supply Btrength. Tho
surplus is not only needless, but undesira
ble, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-fitting. The perfect watch
case most combine gold with 6ome metal
that will supply that in gajuch the gold ia
deficient This has becV accomplished by
the Jama Bos Gold W&h (has Jgj
which saves the waste of netd-((A
less gold, and increases the solidity and
strength of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost oxs halt. f
