CHEMICAL AND COMICAL.

We take the following from the COu.
rier des Etdts Unis:
Madame L., a celebrated beauty,
had the habit of whitewashing herself
go to speak-from the soles of her feet 10
the roots Of her hair.
One day she discovered that certain
pimples, like a group of little volcanoes,
were piercing the thick crust of dead
white, and threatened to cover her arms
with pathological a~rabesques.
Under advice of a physician. she or
dered a medicated bath, and with the
hesitation Of a woman of delicate nerves.
she plunged therein her beautiful person.
Hardly had that adorable plaster cast
disappeared to the neck in the sulphu
rous wave, when suddenly from head to
heel, the wilderness changed to the
bronzed blackness of an Ethiop. You
would have declared her a negress badly
whitened, or a white dame attacked with
extraordinary cholera symptoms.
The last superstition prevailed, and
the physician, called in haste, laughed
immode, ately.
MADAM" said he. ''you are not i'll /;
you are a chemical product. You are
no longer a woman /; you are sulphu
ret. II is not now a question of medical
treatment. but of simple chemical reac-
ton. l shall analyze you.
Come ! I shall submit you to a bath
Of sulphuric acid diluted with water
The acid will have the honor 10 combine
with you ; it will take up the sulphur
and the metal will produce a sulphate.
and we shall find as a p%recipita e, a
very pretty woman"
Snowy Dianas, let this serve you as a
lesson. Never use a white powder
which has a metallic base.

TO MAKE PURE WINE OF APPLES.

Being aware that much wine sold for
genuine champagne vas manufactured
from cider, we informed a correspondent
a short time since of this fact in answer
to his inquiry. The following letter was
elected by the reading of the answer re-
ferred to-
Messrs. Ed tors: - am well aware
that imitation wines are now extensively
made in the State of New Jersey from
the JUICE of the apple, and more from the
Harrison apple than from any other va
riety, and the most of it is made at New.
ark. Those knowing ones are correct
with regard to its being a mixture Of
poisonous drugs not fit for the human
stomach.
Having been in the horticultural busi-
ness for over !trty years l have had an
eye single to those spurious wines from
The JUICE of the apple.
1t is CRAFTY ing 10 me to think that
when you come TO taste and test my wine
which | send you accompanying this
letter-you will find a wine, a pure ar
iicle, free from all drugs, and not an i'm.
i~tation. The sample | send you is eigh-
teen months old, and made after the fol
lowing process:
Take pure cider made from sound ripe
apples as it runs from the press. Put
sixty pounds of common brown sugar
into fifteen gallons of the cider and let il
dissolve, then PUT the mixture into a clean
barrel, and fill the barrel up to within
two gallons of being full with clean CT
der; put the cask in a cool place, leaving
the bung out forty eight hours; then puI
in the bung, with a small vent, until fer
mentation wholly ceases, and bung up
tight, and in one year the wine viii be
fit for use. This wine requires no rack.

better. STERNE BRoNsoN.

ROOTS CANNOT GROW WITHOUT
LEAVES.

II is a well known and well settled
principle in vegetable physiology, that nj
part of a plant can grow without the as
s~istance derived from the leaf, Which de
composes and re-arranges the crude ma
~terials of the food of plants, and thu.
forms new wood.
For this reason, a very simple and ca
sy way TO kill a patch of Canada ihist,
les or any other wood whose roots spread
wide and extend deeply into the soil, j.
by keeping the tops cut off or the leaves
smothered, so that no food can be fur
nished to the roots below. A few months
of starvation in summer will destroy tht
plants.
For the same reason, clover or any
other plants will extend The growth o
their roots more rapidly and freely if 8
larger top is permitted above GROUND
than if closely pastured.
The following statement; not wholly
new, from a source hat we cannot al
this moment give, is a further corrobor'
attn. The "curious circumstance
mentioned, exists the same with any 9TH
er plant as with clover:
agricultural Experiment "A curious
circumstance connected with the growth
of clover is that by cutting the clover
twice and removing all the hay, a much
better wheat crop is obtained than by
feeding it off to sheep even if some arti
rtifcial food is used. This is owing to
the fact that the growth of clover in the
land is in exact proportion to the growth
of the leaves in the air. Each lea1et
that shoots upward sends a radiele or
root downward. 1.-THE lealet be bitten
off or destroyed, its radicle ceases to
grow. 1t therefore follows that grazing
clover by sheep materially diminishes
the amount of vegetable matter accumu
lated in the soil BY the roots. and conse-
quently the produce of the succeeding
crop.
The above is sustained by the follow
ing: ga friend of mine in Northamp-
had a field of clover; it was di.
vided in'o two portions; both were cut at
midsummer, and one part.was then fed off
with sheep, and the other left to grow
till September, when it was again cut
and the hay removed. Equal portions
of the several pieces were then compar-
ed. Where the clover had been cut
once and fed off, he got 35 cwt. of clover
roots per acre. Where he cut twice, he
got IS cwt; there being a difference of
two tons of vegetable matter per acre =
PITS. Gaz.

SELF-sEALING FRUIT CANS.

EDITOR ONO CULTNAToR:--I have a
Self %sealer, so perfect in is arrangement,
so simple in its construction and so very
cheap, that in neither of these particulars
is it suspccptable of improvement. This
is saying a good deal, but wait till you
get a wife, go to housekeeping and try ii
and then if you don't say that's so,'
why, I don't know nothing about it
Ny Self-sealer is my own invention, 1
believe, but 1 shall not get it patented.
Take a common fruit jar, with a tin
cover, made like a hoe-black box. The
jar and will probably cost a dime,
and hold a quart. Any of the cements
that are used for sealing cans or jars will
do for this. Heat your fruit, either in
the jars or in some other vessel, and pour
ii in the jars, previously warming them.)
Now pouI enough cement in the cover to
give the bottom and side a thin coat
When the cement becomes slightly stiff,
apply the cover over the jar, the jar hav-
ing been well filed, and turn the Jar app
side down; and here is tie ~inrention. As
fruit jars have a liz, you now have a IL
tie trough TO FIJI with cement, and the
work is done. Let your jars get cold
standing on the COVERS, and put them aDoy
in The s0me position.
1t is the steam escaping in the com.
mon way of sealing or soldering cans,
that leaves so many of them imperfect.
Ny plan entirely obviatcs this difficult
ty, as TIE steam or vapor is always on
top of the fruit. This arrangement, you

for good eating, L. G. HARLEY.
