AT . recent meeting Of the British
Association, paper Was read upon the in
PRODUCTION of new gunpowder for heavy
ordnance, in which nitrate of barytes is
substituted for saltpetre in composition, the
consequence being that the powder, when
ignited, consumes more slowly, and the
gases are developed lees rapidly, while
the same effect is produced upon the pro-
jectile as regards its ultimate velocity.
- The undertaking Of San Jose, Califor-
mia, has now progressed so far that extern
sive experiments are making or to be made
there for rendering silk productions sta
pie industry Of the State. The experiments
already made decide that the climate is
more favorable to silk worms than that Of
China, Japan, France, or Italy, which are
the elk producers of the world. California
has already added tea and coffee growing
to the list Of her employments.
The excellent washerwomen Of Holland
and Belgium, who /" get up their linen so
beautifully white, use refined borax as .
washing powder, instead of soda, in the
proportion Of one large handful of powder
to about ten gallons Of boiling water. They
save in soap nearly one-ha All the large
washing establishments adopt the same
mode. For laces, cambria, etc an extra
quantity Of the powder is used; for crino-
lines, required to be made, q strong solution
is necessary. Borax being neutral salt.
docs not in the slightest degree injure the
texture of the linen. Its effect is to soften
the hardest water, and therefore it should
be kept on every toilet table. To the taste
il is rather sweet; it Is used for cleaning
the hair; it is an excellent dentrifrice, and
in hot countries it is used, in combination
with tartaric acid and bl-carbonate of soda,
as cooling beverage. Good tea cannot be
made with hard water. All water may be
made soft by adding teaspoonful Of borax
powder to an ordinary sized kettle Of water,
In which it should boil. The saving in the

Would You have Done 1t,
Reader:

MI Deecner relateu Tue following 1uClueut
in one of his sermons:
"Not long ago, gentleman who was en-
gagged in the oil business had made some
twelve or fifteen thousand dollars and he
concluded that he had made enough-extra-
ordinary as it may seem-and that he would
wind up his affairs and come home. | do
not believe one Of you would have done it
Fifteen thousand dollars. Why, that's just
enough to bait the trap of mammon. Well,
he wound up his affairs, and was on the
point of leaving, when he was met by
young man of his acquaintance (l believe
they both reside in New York, ) who had in
vested six thousand dollars, all he had, In an
experimental well, and had been boring and
boring until he had given out in discourage
ment. And coming to this man, he said,
4 shall lose six thousand dollars if l am
obliged to give up my interest in that we'll,
aud begged him to take it off his hands. L
am selling out, not taking on says the man.
But the young man Plead with him, and out
Of personal kindness he said, Very well,
will take it, In two days they struck a
vein in this well, and it was an immensely
fruitful well, and he sold his share for
100000. The young man was present
when the check was drawn on New York
for the amount, and he felt like death, and
mourned, and said, 1t is always my luck;
l am always little too late And the man
said, You may take ten thousand of it, if
you want The young man thought he was
jesting. but he assured him that he was not,
and said, i will make it twenty thousand,
if it will do you any good Or said he.
Il will make it fifty thousand We'll, said
he take the whole of it; l do not want it.
Give me the six thousand, and you may have
the advantage Of the good luck And so
he gave the young man the two hundred
thousand. All of you that would have done
that, may rise up.''
