HI styptic Paper.

Perchloride of Iron, or Monsell's salt
has for some years been well known as an
effective agent in causing the stoppage
of the flow of blood from wounds. 1t is
very lnconvenient to carry bottle OF
this substance on the person, however, a
method has recently been discovered OF
preparing paper with perehloride of iron,
which is said to retain the styptic quail
ties of the salt. The paper is first dip
ped in solution made of one pound OF
gum benzoin, one pound of rock alum
and four and one-third gallons of water
This mixture is placed in vessel, care
fully timed inside and heated up to the
boiling point; the solution is TO be kept
boiling FOR four hours and skinned from
time to time. The water evaporated is
to be replaced by the same quantity OF
fresh water, and, as soon as the solution
is cooled tits to be filtered of. The pa
per or tissue is then dipped into it, and
kept there Until sufficiently saturated,
and is then carefully dried. When dry
a solution of the perchloride, in a con-
centrated state, it is applied by brush
or roller. The paper or tissue thus pre-
pared is folded up and preserved from
the action of the air by wrapping it in 8
piece of oiled silk, prepared with the ad-
diton of resinous substances, and in this
manner it can be preserved any length
of time always ready for use. Its appii-
cation to small wounds viii stop the
bleeding almost instantly.

The Grecian Bend.

Eastern bellies are now. practicing a
new pose in walking called the 'Grecian
Bend Just what it is may be gathered
from the following description: High
heeled shoes di<yues the wearer to in
cline forward, and high heeled gaiters
are therefore, adopted by the belle of the
season. She is thus enabled the more
readily to elevate her hips unnaturally
behind, enhancing the aspect of the
pdnUiey to contact the stomach, and
form an like culvature of her upper
shape by thruting out her chest, draw
ing back her sholders, and bending for
wardiheI head. So bent and deformed,
the belle constrains her elbows against
her sides; annd with horizontal fore
arms end little glOved hands dangling
from limp wrists, tits painfully along.
The profile of such figure, in its un-
graceful gait, are irresistably. suggestive
of a lame kangaroo. When it is whirled
and tossed about in the fashionable
jumping jacks in black broadcloth,
who are here so numerous, and so much
alike. that you can ahardly tell one from
the other, the sight what with one
bobbing up and of the woman's pdnUie1
AID the agile sidelong leaps of the
jumping jack across the immense trail
piled on the tloor-is too eXasp peratingly
ridiculous for laughter.

We have for years practiced but one
method supporting young fruit-trees,
and like the way so well we shall con-
tinue it until we see something better
than has Yet come to our notice We
drive stake which we usually make OF
a strip board, or plank, strong enough to
support the tree, but elastic, TO allow it
considerable motion, about six or eight
inches from the tree, on the south or
west side, and fasten the tree to it by a
strip of waste leather, forming a single
loop, so as TO allow the tree TO move a
little in the wind, fastening the ends OF
the leather on the top of the stake by a
shingle nail. BY this method the young
tree has sufficient play to induce it to
throw down its roots, which it will very
soon, and stand erect without any sup
port. This never mars or prevents the
growth of the tree by stopping the cir
culation Of the sap, and is the cheapest
manner tree can be stayed up. During
the summer months, il is well to east of
this leather, letting the tree depend
upon its own energies.-[N. L. Home

A COUNTRY editor, having apparentl
fallen asleep immedialy after reading
Edgar. ,P6e,s : :, Raven prodnees the
following junble d. fal
"The other night while we lays mus
ing and our weary brain confusing over
the tepics of the day, suddenly we heard
8 rafting as Of serried lost q battling,
as they wrangled in their fury. What il
that? we cried upstartling, slapi we ran
against the door. Oh, tits nothing, Mug
ginsgrumbied, as o'er huge arn7chan
we stumbled, tits q bug and nothing
more. Then said we, our anger rising
(for we thought it so surprising that a
bug should so ofend), do you think d
small insect, sir, thus a whole room
would infect sir? Mol tits not bug, nay
friend. Now becoming sorely frighten-
ed, round our waist our pants we tight
ened, and put on our hat then into dark
ness peeping, we saw, with trembling
and much feering, the glaring eyes OF
Thomas Cat! .;ss 4. 5 ~. :,
"With astonishment and wonder, we
gazed upon the son of thunder as he sat
upon the floor, when resolution taking
and rapid movement making, 10! we
opened wide the door. Now cleaf out,
we hoarsely shouted, as DER bead our
boot we feuted; take your presence
from the fcor. Then with air and mein
majestic, this dear creature called domes-
tic, made his exit without growing,
neither was his voice heard howling.-
Not word he said. And with feelings
much eiated to escape doom so fated,
we went slowly back to bed.-[Sandusky

Plunls.

a correspondent OF the Rural World
thinks plumbs can be raised successful,
ly, if the fruit-grower viii only plant an
abundance OF trees, instead of very
few.
There is a secret about plum raising.
We have discovered it in travelling ovel
the country. We never visited a large
plum orchard in our life that we did not
find plenty of the fruit; and we never
visited any place with eight or ten trees
and found good crop of this fruit. Now
these facts set US TO thinking, and the
result OF our thoughts is this: The secret
connected with plum raising is simply
to plant plenty of trees, so as to give
fruit 10 the cureulio, and to youIsell
also. If you will plant fifty, or hun
dsed, or two hundred trees, you will
have enough Tor everybody. Every such
orchard that we ever visited had plenty
of ripe fruit. Some even complained
Il al the curculio did not thin out the
fruit enough--that the trees were over
loaded.
$50 we say to our readers, If you want
plums at all, fifty or one hundred trees;
then you will be sure to nave all the
fruit you want. The prices vary from
three 10 ten dollars a busheI, and it is
one the most profitable crops raised"
