The Tribune's correspondent telegraphs
from Carlsruhe, Sept. 20 :. +" Before the
Swiss delegates left Strasbourg Gen.
Ulrich told them it was impossible for
the present stage of things to last much
longer; that he had gone through several
campaigns and had served in the Cr1mea,
but he never witnessed nor underwent so
terrible siege" The municipality has
resolved with the Governors permission
to send deputation to Paris to repre-
sent the condition of affairs and request
instructions. ~

Rag Carpets.

FIRST, the rags or old garments ought
to be washed clean; then rip them To
pieces, rejecting the parts too worn to he
used; if not ready to color them, tie i'm
bundles all that are to be colorcd each
color and any that do not need cOlorng
may be cut and scwcd, or tied up by them
selves, If not ready To commence the work.
All wooden ones ought To be kept in linen
sacks, TO exclude the moths from them.
Any light, mixed or plaided woolcns
may be improved in color by dipping in
good red dye Clean white RAGS can be
colorcd yellow, orange, blue or green
Dingy white rags will look well colored
hcmlock color and set with lime. This is
a cheap, pretty and durable color for some
of the rags and the warp Bits of bark
may be gathered around saw-mills when
one cannot get it elsewhere; boil enough
bark to make a strong dye, and add 10 il
Il little clear lime water, after removing all
bits of bark or straining the dye. If dregs
remain i'll any dye it will spot the cloth
or yarn.
If a smooth parlor carpet is wanted, the
rags must he cotton, and othe~ RAGS that
are made OF fine yarn. Coars, threaded
wooden rags make carpet look rough and
though II may 10 well for a kitchen, ii is
not so nice Tor DarlOr.
Unless the rags are light, il will take
pound and half, and sometimes more. for
each yard of carpet. To know when sufli-
Client rags are prepared for the number of
yards wanted the prepared rags must bc
weighed IL the rags are light, il will not
take quite pound and a half; but if they
are coarse threaded or wooden rags. it will
take some more than pound and half,
if the carpet is well beaten up.
If a striped carpet is wanted, tear each
color separately, and mix together the
different shades of the same color in sew
ing; this will make the carpet more uni
form in color and prettier than if some
strips contained all the brightest colors
and others paler ones, which they will, if
the shades of the same color are not mixed
in sewing. \ carpet always looks much
better if all the breadths are uniform in
color, and by mixing the shades of the
same color in sewing them it will be so.
For hap-hazard carpet, all different
cOlOrS may be mixed i'm sewing. This will
use up all short rags, of any color or shade,
and often makes very pretty carpet
which may be woven easier and cheaper
than striped carpet. Short pieces, or
those not more than three or four wards
long, alternated with shorter ones, look
the best in this Kind of carpet
For warp, good strong prepared yarn is
the best, and saves much labor. II may
be recled in skcins of five knots before
coloring, allowing one skein TO a yard and
about three knots over, To hc woven i'm at
the end of each breadth, for binding.
Measure the inside of the room, and let
the weaver know how long to make each
breadth. Carpets will shrink little i'm
length from the wcaver's measure after
they come ont of the loom but will often
stretch little in width The stripes will
match the best If the edges on the same
side of the loom are sewed together, as the
different sides of the loom sometimes vary
a little. Or HnrM Nen Inrk4r.

A Skillful Theft Cnnningiy Detected.

MAN at COnstantinoplc, having left in
charge of friend of his, II purse without
seam or joint, in which he had placed a
considerable number of diamonds com
planned on his return from distant travel
that his number of diamonds was not cor
rect. The friend sustained the integrity of
his trust, and adduced ~ proof the entire
wool of the purse, in which neither seam
nor joint appeared, and the seal of the
owner still remained untouched al the
mouth of the purse The owner
of the jewels was forced to admit
both facts, but still persisted that
the amount of diamonds was no longer
what he left. The case was brought be
fore more than one Magistrate, but nothing
could he ELECTED upon the subject, and the
unaltcrcd condition of the purse. which
the owner could not deny, was considered
conclusive evidence against his claim. In
despair he applied to the Sultan himself

Clean Milk and Milking.

A DAIRYNAN writes on the subject as
follows: Having recently commenced sell
ing milk, find it requires much care to
keep the cows perfectly clean, and have
adopted some new measures which may be
of some interest to other mixers. In the
first place, the floor on which the COWS
stand is raised SO that the water Will run

inches below the floor Before begin to

some cows which are inclined to brush

end around the COWS tail, which prevents
her from brushing dirt into the milk;
then brush the cows and begin to milk

Effect Of Hot Sunshine on Bees.

IT has been mentioned that honey combs
melt when the hives are exposed to "A hot
sun; but as that happens but seldom, it
may be worth while To relate how the
catastrophe operates on the bees. Last
season, a friend of mine had Il strong col

I'm july he was anxious for the bees to
work in glass on the top of the hive ::
the entrance being small the heat in the
hive increased, SO that the combs COLLAPSED
The drcnched bees turned outside the hive ;
while the hum of those that could not
enter caused the affair to be observed. Be
ing at distance, | did not notice the ca
tastrophc until the next day. Under the
hive were dishes collecting the honey
dropping from it, in which many of the
poor bees were drcnchcd i'm their treasure.
while the outside of the hive was literally
covered with bees escaping from the
wreck. After n little mancuvcrin@ | re-
moved the hive and part of the comb fell
on the floor, crushing many of the bees
Having cleared the floor and also The
broken combs from the hive after the
honey had drained little, the hive was
placed IN lis former station, shaded from
the sun by "A cloth The bees soon took
possession again, excepting those that
happened TO fall To the ground, which were
IN sad plight, smearcd with honey and
dust. In order to relieve them | put the
whole into pail of water, then spread
them on cloth To clean themselves i'm the
sun, which they did, excepting those that
were disabled. 1t is unnecessary to saw
that if the hive had been shaded the calam-
lty would not have happened; but before
honey combs collapse hive must he hot
