Instead of the old-lashioned method of using
wax for polishing floors, soluble glass is now
employed to great advantage. For this purpose
| the floor is first well cleaned, and then the
| cracks filled up with a cement of water-glass
and powdered chalk or gypsum; afterward a
| water-gass of sixty to sixty-fve degrees
of the thickness of strip, is applied by means
of stiff brush. Any desired color is to be inn
parted to the floor in second coat of the water
glass, and additional coats are to be given until
the requisite polish is obtained.
Bleeding from Ine nose can De cured, II is
said, by rapidly chewing piece OF paper. An
observer asserts that he has seen the remedy
tried quite frequently, and always with success.
Doubtless any substance would answer the
same purpose as paper, the stoppage of the flow
Of blood being caused by the rapid motion of
the jaws, and the counter action Of the muscles
and arteries connecting the jaw and nose. Ply
sicians say that placing small roll of paper or
muslin above the front teeth, under the upper
lip, and pressing hard on the same, will arrest
bleeding by checking the passage of the blood
through the arteries leading TO the nose.
The entire cost of the improvement of the
Sault Ste. Marie canal, in Michigan, will
amount to about two million dollars. Twenty

cubic yards of earth. Instead of stone as orlgi-
nally contemplated, the canal will be lined with
timber, which, although less durable, will lessen
the expense in a very material degree, and also
make it possible to finish the work sooner. An
additional set of locks is to be built for the con-
StructiOn of which congress made further APP
preparation of 100000. Work is going on on
an extensive scale, and the canal is speedily ap-
preaching its final completion.

A late number of the ST. Paul Pioneer saws:
THE roads leading to the Red river valley are
literally covered with emigrant wagons, with
their usual accompaniments of families, furni- |
ture and stock of all kinds. The wagon roads |
from Sank Centre to st. Peter show daily Access |
sions TO the vast caravan vending its way to |
the fertile regions of northern Minnesota. The |
extent OF the great incoming tide of humanity |
can be best estimated on the main road between |
Alexandria and Pomme de Terre. Two hun |
dred wagons per day pass over this portion of |
the route northwest, and the camp Tres are sell
dom allowed to 60 out-a fresh train of emf |

has resumed its march. A noticeable feature of
this years emigration is its quality-the wagons
come loaded with household goods and farming
implements, and are followed by herds of cattle |
and other stock, which in quality would do |
