PROMOTING GROWTH OF NAME AND
TALL give the following recipe,
which l have personally proved to be eff
ficient in restoring healthy growth of
hair on the tails and names of horses !:
Corrosive sublimate (hyd. bichloride),
oxmuriate of mercury, each four grains
in one ounce of distilled water. Wash
the parts where the hair is thin with
warm water and soap, then rub dry with
linen cloth, and Immediately after rub
in some of the above liniment. If the
hair has been rubbed off by the ami
mails own ehdeavors to allay cutaneous
irritation, then dress with the following
ointment One ounce of fine flour sui
phur, one ounce of pulverized saltpetre,
made into soft ointment with fresh
butter or fresh rendered hogs lard (; rub
in at night and wash out in the morning
with warm water and soap; repeat
three or four times. If the hair is scant
from natural debility of the capillary Or
gans, then simply use cold water ap-
piled with soft sponge; avoid all
combing or brushing, and clean the mano
and tail, as the Arabs do, with a coarse
flannel rubber.-Midy Morgan.

PREVENTING THE TERMINATION OF
POTATOES IN CELLARs.-Much trouble
is experienced by farmers and others who
have occasion to store potatoes for a con-
siderable length of time, in preventing
their termination, and consequent de-
probation in value as food; and our
readers may be interested to know
that experiments, prosecuted in Germany,
have shown how this may be measurably
prevented. This is accomplished by ex-
posing the potatoes to the vapor of sui
phurous acid, by any of the various well
known modes, and large mass of po-
tatoes can be treated at one time. This
process, if not entirely effective in ac-
complishing the object, will retard or
modify the sprouting of the potato to
such an extent as to render the injury
caused thereby very slight. The flavor
of the potato is not affected in the least
by this treatment, nor is its vitality di-
minished; the action being simply to re-
tard or prevent the formation and
growth of the eyes. Z"

HARPER'S BAZAAR.

Free from all political and sectarian discus
sion, devoted to fashion, pleasure, and in
struction, it is just the agreeable, compan-
ionable, and interesting paper which every
mother and wife and sweetheart will require
every son, husband, and lover to bring home
with them every Saturday evening .-Phiia-
deIpaia Ledger. s
This paper at the outset occupied a place
not filled by any American periodical, and
won for itself a deserved popularity. It ia
really the only illustrated ehronicler of fash
ions in the country. Its supplements alone
are worth the subscription price of the paper.
While fully maintaining its position as mir
ror OF fashion, il also contains stories, poems,
brilliant essays, besides general and person
al gossip. The publishers appear to have
spared no labor or expense necessary to make
the Bazaar the most attractive journal that
can possibly be made.-BoSton Saturday Eve-
