How TO Do UP SHIRT BosoMs.-We have
often heard ladies express desire to know
by what process the fine gloss observed on
new linens, shirt bosoms, &C., is produced.
In order to crafty them we subjoin the fol-
lowing recipe for making gumarabic starch
Take two ounces of gumarabic powder, put
1t into pitcher, and pour on it pint of boil
ing water according to the degree of strength
you desire) and then having covered it, let
it set all night. In the morning pour it care
fully from the dregs into a clean bottle, cork
1t, and keep it for use. a tablespoonful of
gum water stirred in a pint Of starch that has
been made in the usual manner, will give to
lawns (elther white or printed) a look of new
mes when nothing else can restore them after
washing. 1t is also good (much diluted) for
thin white muslin and bobinet.

WATERPROOF STARCH.-A patent has been
recently taken out in France for the prepGra-
ton of finish, or starch, for vegetable It's
sues, yarns, clothes, etc., which is not sou-
Bile in water, and which, therefore, when
once applied, will remain throughout several
successive washings. In this case, the art-
cles in question are properly starched and
then placed at a temperature of about sixty
degrees Fahrenheit through bath ofchloride
of zinc. by means Of which such q change is
produced in the fibre and the starch that the
latter resists the action of the water in the
most thorough manner. A bath of three
parts Of sulphurc acid and one water, may,
it is said, be used instead of that of chloride
of zine. The liquid is to be placed in a
trough, in which revolving barrel is i'm
mersed, almost to its axis, and above which
is a roller which is moved in an opposite di-
rection by the turning of the lower one. Be-
tween the two the material to be impregnated
is passed, being mostened from below by the
bath, and in passing between the two re-
ceiving the necessary pressure. If the ma
terial be heavy. the barrel lies entirely in the
bath, and a pair of rollers fixed above it is
used to press out the superhuous liquid.
The articles are carried directly from the
trough into running water, from which they
are to be removed, pressed out and dried.

The pestilence fly, already noted in some
parts Of the country, has appeared in New
York city. 1t is precursor of cholera, and
it is enough to make one have the cholera, to
look at it. Il is little longer than the COM
mon house-fy, and has very transparent
wings, of slightly purple hue The head
is perfectly round, of dark, brown color,
with white mark on the face. The body is
divided like a wasp's. The round portion
next the head to which the wings are attach
ed, is of an invisible green. The remainder
of the body from the waist to the tail presents
alternate rings of jet black and a pale yell
low. 1t has six legs, which are longer than
the common fly's.

PRESIDENT GRANTS FARM.
a Hint for the Pcopic-Poor Three Ncnrs
Ago and Now $500 900 in g Rlootesl stock.

A correspondent of the Central Baptist,
after visiting President Grants farm, few
miles from St. Louis MOI. says: he was re
ceived by relative of the President. who is
intrusted by him with the superintendence of
property valued at not less than $500, 900.
The farm includes with recent purchases $50
acres, mostly rolling land. After the bril-
liant descriptions that have been recently
published of Tweed's Connecticut palace and
the island homes of Garvev. Iugersoll, Key
serand other magna,es Of the Republican-Dem-
ocratic New York Courthouse ring, the en-
thusiasm of the Baptist's description of the
Presidents blood stock, luxuriant aboricul
ture and ether items which make up the
$500, 900. read quite natural.
President Grant went into the army not
worth a cent, and has lived quite freely ever
since. His horses, equipages, etc., are the
theme of admiring description from cores
pondents not only at Washington but at Long
Branch, AID wherever else he takes up his
temporary abode. 1t is therefore quite con-
solatory TO find that out of his not excessive
salary, first as General and now as President,
he is able to keep $500, 600 of blood stock
end such like property idle on Missouri
farm. Politics appears pay much the same
in the White House at Washington as in the
new Courthouse of New York. The boss
politician is evidently bound to be the mill
ionaire of the period. lie has found the Sc
cret limited at in the Scripture passage,
There is that scattereth, and yet increas-
eth" These boss politicians, whether called
Supervisors of Presidents, contrive to live at
the highest point of luxury, and on moderate
salaries, and yet to roll up rich.-Brooklyn

90. n. Y, says that he has prevented the at
tacks of apple tree borers by putting bush
ell of tanbark around the stem of each tree
The tanbark answers the double purpose of
keeping out the borers and as q mulch. No
weeds grow through it, and Mr.. f says that
he has never known tree to be attacked
around which heap Of tanbark was con-
stantly kept. Ounce trees treated in the
same way thrive admirably, aud are free from
borers.
