Paper Mattresses and Pillows.

These mattresses, when well made,
serve as admirable beddings for the sick
and infants among the poor, who have
often nothing better than sacks filled with
shavings to lie upon. They should be
made thus The paper must be torn up
into basket which will not tip over. 1t
must first of all be folded, and then be torn
towards ones self, in the seams, into
strips each strip should be torn into bits
no longer than half a postage stamp. ,One
thing is necessary to be observed in this
part of the work-the paper must never be
torn double, and each bit must drop sepa-
rately into the basket. There will be
Jumps for ever in the pillow or bedding
should you neglect this caution. | have
found out to my cost that, though you
may shake the basket of bits, when they
are thrown in double together they don't
divide, and you put Jumps into the case
of linen or ticking, or whatever you pre-
fer for the same pillow or mattress. No
bits with sealingwax or gum upon them,
such as some portions of an envelope,
should ever be dropped in; neither any
colored paper, because poisons are now
and then used in their tints by the manu-
facturers, in the same way as arsenic is
employed in the coloring of green muslin.
have been told by good authority in
the matter, that newspaper stuffing is heal
thy, on account of printers ink being pc
culiarly wholesome. For my own part
should prefer pillow or mattress made of
one sort of paper, either all newspaper and
printed forms, such as circulars and clean
old book sheets, or letter paper. Your
friends might tear up their letters which
they do not wish to preserve, and con-
tribute with advantage to your waste-pa-

CULTURE OF CABBAGEs BY SLIPS
The slips, when taken from the cabbage
stalk, are exposed sufficient time to the
sun and atmosphere to cauterize the woun-
ded part. In the summer, twenty-four
hours are sufficient, and two or three days
in winter; rubbing a little woodashes on
the part, as recommended by Mr.. Lindley
greatly assists in cauterizing the wound,
and prevents bleeding. Plant them, and
they require no further trouble. After
cutting the cabbages, the sprouts again af-
ford supply of slips for plants, and thus
irregular succession of cabbages is secured
throughout the whole year, with the GER
tainty of preserving the quality of the pa
rent stock unchanged, and of doing away
with the necessity Of raising plants from
seed.-Gard. Mag. ~" tl

To PREVENT ARTICLES OF STEEL OR
IRON FROM RUsTING.-Oxygen is abun-
dant in the composition of water and at
mosphere; and that quicklime has an as
tonishipg affinity for it is evinced by the
practice of using little powdered lime
tied up in muslin, to beat out a minute
portion of dust on the surface of polished
steel or iron goods, such as tire-irons, fen
ders, and fronts of stoves of superior
quality, when not in use, to prevent their
rusting. more delicate instance is that
of the manufacturers of needles, watch
springs, cutlery, Sc, who generally put a
small packet Of quick-lime in any box or
parcel of polished steel goods they may be
sending to distant customer, or with
goods which they may put away as not
likely to be wanted for some time, as Sc
curity from rust. The following is very
different, yet bearing upon the same prin-
ciple: When bricklayers leave off work
for day or two, as from Saturday till
Monday they push their trowel in and out
of the moist mortar, SO that the bright
steel may be smeared all over with film
of mortar, finding this plan an efectual
remedy against rust.-Builder.

PoTATo CULTURE WITHOUT MANURE.
The Germantown Telegraph states that
at recent meeting of one of the farmers
clubs of Chester county, Pa, the subject
of "Fertilizers" being under discussion
a member remarked that he had frequently
used plaster, with good effect upon his po-
tato crop. This remark brought out the
following statement from Benjamin Hick-
man, one of the best practical farmers of
Chester county
"The potato crop does very we'll on
poor land aided by manure but in good
land potatoes come earlier and grow to a
larger size aoithom manure. Land may be
too rich for potatoes-has known the tops
to grow thirteen feet in length upon new
rich piece of land that had been MANFRED,
and only yielding potatoes the size of a
hickory nut"

replies ssSow less wheat and other grain

NEAT's FooT O1L.-Neat's foot oil is
the very best preparation for softening and
preserving leather A supply should be
on hand in every house for use on har-
ness, carriage tops, boots, shoes, etc., and
applied often enough to keep them soft and
pliable. To prepare it, break and cut into
small pieces the shin-bones and hoofs of
an OK or cow, and put them into kettle.
Keep them covered with water, and boil
until the oil is extracted and rises to the
surface. While boiling, water enough
should be added from time to time to sup
ply that lost by evaporation, so that the
oil shall not come in contact with the
bones and be again absorbed. The pro-
cess will be FASTENED by keeping the ket-
tie closely covered TO retain the heat
When cold, the oil may be dipped off and
kept in jugs or bottles tightly corked.

however, now becoming critical. The below

likely to attact their fellows to the spot, while
the darkness rendered the task of avoiding
them difficult The hunters were beside trem-

precaution of putting on warm clothing against
the night air. They therefore decided on re-
gaining their tents, where they found their
companions fast asleep, not having even heard

A letter from oBatna, in the independent of
Constantine gives some further details of the
recent exploits of MN. Chassaigg and Bonn
bopnel. Having learned that q horse had
been killed by wild beasts, they proceeded to
the spot, and concealed themselves in some
brushwood close by, in order to wait until the
animals returned after sunset to deyour their
prey The night was dark and no moonlight
was to be hoped for The hunters had not
been long at their post when magnificent
onapproached the horse The two friends
touched each other with the, elbow to show
that they had seen the beast, and Chassaing,
firing both barrels, sent the animal rolling to
the bottom of the ravine There had not been
time to reload when second lion appeared.
Bombonnel passed his gun to his companion,
and Chassaing sent the new conner to join his
roars Of pain with those Of The preceding. A
third and a fourth lion appeared successively
and met with the same. fate, Bombonnel load
ing each time, and passing the firearms to-
