Straw Pictures.

Among the curiosities of art must be
included pictures made of straw. How
far patience is exercised in this direc-
ton at present we do not know but in
the last century, the inmates OF some OF
the French monasteries employed a
portion Of their time in such labors.
The process was by no means simple
one. First, a selection was made OF the
whitest, thinnest, longest, largest barrel
straws. They were severed above and
below all the knots; the knots, mem
branes, and smaller parts of the straw
were removed; and the rest were re-
tanned for use, in the form Of thin,
smooth, unspotted cylinders OF straw,
sometimes six or eight inches long.
The straws are damped and split open
by means Of slender wooden spindle,
which was inserted at the end and dex-
terously run along to the other, making
straight rent throughout the brisk
application of burnisher fattened out
each piece. Sometimes, to expedite
their labor, the workers used kind OF
small hattened mill, which first split
the straw and then opened it out fiat.
The split and opened straws were dyed
of various colors, and were then pasted
side by side on small sheets of thin pa
per, forming veritable sheets of straw,
so accurately cut and adjusted, that the
lines of junction could scarcely be seen.
All of the straws on one sheet were ex-
actly of the same color and tint. These,
then, were the materials with which the
artist worked and the mode working
denended on the kind of effect desired
to be produced. Sometimes the sheets
were cut up into striped patterns by al
ternating the colors sometimes the
straw would make diagonal patterns,
and sometimes check patterns by cross
ing the strips, or diversified patterns by
alternated broad with narrow strips. A
favorite but rather tedious process was
that of making real straw mosaic. Sew.
eral sheets-different colors-were plac-
ed one on another, and cut completely
through with delicate apparatus, in
accordance with some particular device;
and then ensued the slow work of past
ing the tiny bits side by side on paper,
in the proper arrangement of colors.
Occasionally the pictures or devices so
produced are embossed in relief by be-
ing stamped between die of horn and
counter-die ofthick paste-board-all the
raised and depressed parts of the device
corresponding in proper way with the
different colors of the picture. And
sometimes the artist went SO far as to
engrave or chase the straw, or even to
work il up into a kind of cameo.-New
York Builder.

Bathing.

!. Battle quickly, wipe dry, and walk
off rapidly, all within ten minutes.
2. 1t is dangerous to battle when tired
or at bed time; hence, it is better to
make rule to battle before breakfast,
when the system has been rested by a
nights sleep. 81,
3. Before bathing, wash the face, hands
and head in cold water.
4. Do not battle within two hours OF
eating II full meal death has often re.
suited from inattention to this rule.
5. Cold water baths are hurtful under
all circumstances to very young or old
people, to invalids, to consumptives, to
those subject to splitting blood. 1t is the
safest rule that a woman should never
take cold bath other than to rub the
whole surface quickly with a soft towel,
dipped in water and pressed out lay
the fowl smooth on the hand, and rub
quickly the whole body, within ten
minutes.
The general health Of mankind would
be most benefited by avoiding all cold
water or sea bathing, and take but one
bath week, and that in room not
under seventy degrees, on Saturday
night using warm water, soap, and a
common new scrubbing brush, bristles
at least three-quarters of an inch long
wet the body all over with water; then
rub piece of soap over the brush, and
with it rub the body with will, as far
as can be reached in every direction
rapidly then rinse off and wipe dry
with u cotton towel at least yard
square this leaves the skin more per.
fectly dry than common linen or crash
towel; the whole operatin should be
performed within ten minutes; the
water should be at least eighty degrees
this kind of bathing certainly cleanses
the skin, stimulates the surface; and
leaves the body in safe condition

Indigestion always produces weakness Of the bodily
powers. Sometimes it happens that the appetite de-
mands more food than the stomach digest though
not more perhaps than required to keep up the full
strength of the frame The object under such circum
stances is to increase the digestive capacity of the
similating organ TO make it equal to the duty inn
posed upon II by the appetite and capable of supplying
the building material Of the system fast il is
qured. This object is fully accomplished by the of
the Btters. They tone and gently stimulate the cellu-
lar membrane which secretes the gastric juice and the
result is that the solvent is mingled with the food in
sufficient quantity to convert all its nourshing parti-
ces into pure and wholesome element If on the
other hand, there is deficiency of appetite, without
any corresponding deficiency of digestive power the
effect of the tonic is TO stimulate desire for food.

CAUSE OF SEx.-The theory, says the
Medical and Surgical Jcpnat, that tenn
poral and accidental conditions lead to
the decision of the sex, has lately re-
ceived a remarkable elucidation by the
botanical researches of Mr.. Thomas
Meehan. This gentleman, at the meet
ing of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, last year read
a paper on the laws governing sex in
plants, in which the theory was pro
pounded that only the highest grades OF
vitality produce the female sex. He
exhibited specimens of the common
sweet chestnut that there were two
classes of male blossoms on this tree.
One class appeared in the axis Of the
leaves in the weak branches. These
were the numerous white catkins we
are all so familiar with on the chestnut
tree. They usually fall before the last
class opened, and probably had little to
do with the fertilization of the female
flowers. The female flowers only APP
peared from vigorous branches. These
bore only two or three female flowers,
and then, if any matter was to be
spared, continued on weak male
SDIhc. IL Vic llCC 10 NCuhCItu III all
manner, this last class of male flowers is
not formed, all of this material then be-
ing required to form the chestnuts.
When weakness is still greater, no fe-
male flowers are at all borne, but all
male ones. This is the reason why
chestnuts are scarce in some years. He
exhibited leaves from large chestnut
tree which had always borne heavily, but
only male flowers this year. The leaves
were Of notified yellow and green tint
showing that its nutritive powers were
out of order.
This we regard as a most significant
observation. 1t is, of course, large
Jump, and one not authorized, from
vegetables to the highest vertebrates
But the laws of sex are singularly alike
throughout organic nature, md, as we
write, number of facts occur to us in
corroboration of the view that imperfect
nutrition leads to male. and perfec,
nutrition to female offspring. The in.
ferior vitality of the male fGtus is OF
itself a singularly striking fact in evi
dence.
