Curious Facts about Water

The extent to which water mingles with
bodies apparently the most solid is very Won
derful. The glittering opal which beauty
wears as an ornament is only flint and water.
Ut every twelve hundred tons Of earth which
a landlord has in his estate four hundred are
water. The snow-capped submits of our
highest mountains have many million tons Of
water in a solid form. In every plaster Of
Paris statue which an Italian carries tbropgh
our streets for sale there is one pound Of wa
ter to four pounds of chalk. The air we
breathe contains FIVE grains Of water to each
cubic foot of its bulk. The potatoes and
turnips which are boiled for our dinner have,
in their raw state, the one seventy five per
cent, and the other ninety per cent of water.
liza man weighing one hundred and forty
pounds were squeezed in hydraulic press.
seventy pounds of water would run out. the
balance being solid matter "A man is chem
ically speaking, forty-fve pounds of carbon
and other elements, with nitrogen difused
through five and half pailfuls of water. -
In plants we find water thus mingling no
less wonderfully. A sundower evaporates
one and quarter pints of water day, and
cabbage about the same quantity A wheat
plant exhales in one hundred and seventy.
FIVE DAYS nhnnt hnnarnd i+h nneana Grains
The sap of plants is the medium through
which this mass Of fluid is conveyed. It forms
delicate pump. up which the watery par
ticles run with the rapidity ola swift stream.
By the action of the sap various properties
may be communicated to the growing plant.
Timber in France is, for instance, dyed with
the various colors mixed with water, and
sprinkled over the roots of the tree Dahlias
are also colored by similar pocess sff

How THE DuTcn WAsu.-They do not
wash with machine. They would scorn
the idea. They use simply refined borax
Dutch women are we'll known as models of
cleanliness, at least in their own country.
They get up linen winter and nicer than any
others, and they do it by using refined bo-
rax as a washing powder instead of soda, in
the proportion of a large handful to about
ten gallons of boiling water. They thus
save one-half in soap. Cambrics and aces
require an extra quantity of the powder,
while for stifening cripoline and underskirts
strong solution is necessary Try it, as I

10 MAKE CUTTINGS GRow.-I used to
have great deal Of trouble to make currant
and goseberry cuttings or slips grow, until
l tried the following plan I boiled some
potatoes until they were nearly done, and
then stuck one on each slip and put in the
ground. Every slip sprouted and grew
we'll that summer, with but one or two ex-
ceptions. The idea of putting the boiled
potatoes to the end of the cuttings was to
furnish and keep moisture enough for them
to grow, until the roots became largo enough
to gather this moisture and substance from
the soil. never tried it on grape cuttings,
but do not see any reason why it would not
do as well with grapes as with anything
else

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

ueE StaDleS ana, lnueeQ, TOO much cannot
be said in its praise. But, for the consola-
ton of those to whom muck is inaccessible
we are glad to be able to say that, although
common surface soil contains within itself
probably less actual fertilizing material, vet
1t is even better absorbent of the escaping
gases Of the manure heap and of its soluble
fertilizing ingredients. A few cart-loads of
| good, fertile soil taken up during the dry
season In July or August screened through
coal-screen, or sifted with an ash-sifter.
and put away under shed where it will not
get wet, will afford better material than
muck, charcoal dust, or plaster, to be sprink-
led in stables and thrown upon the accumu.g
lated droppings in o cellar or manure she'd,
While, probably, the value, of, this addition
to the compost heap. in view Of the absorb
ent qualities, will be quite as great as that
OF muck, the effect upon the atmosphere of
the stable will be even better. . In the hog,
pen, the use of dry earth, will accomplish
equally beneficial results; and even the
ground under the hen-roost, or the floor Of
the hen housc,, supplied with this material
IN sufficient quantity to cover and absorb
the droppings, the mass being forked over,
once o., twice, a week, will be productive of
the most desrabls effect It will amply re.

might better be prepared for the bat
