The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle says the
reports of large deposits of guano on the
coast of Peru are said to have been ex-
a%ggerated. The stock in the Chincha
Islands is almost exhausted. The stock
of guano of good quality on the Gu
anape, Macini and Lobos Islands does
not exceed one million tons, and is of
very inferiorquality in the Lobos Islands.
Another million tons is the outside
quantity. In the South the only deposit
OF ary consideration is on Pabellon de
Plea, and this does not amount to half
a million tons. The same quantity of
guano which remains on the Balestas
Islands isof an inferior quality. Should
no new deposits be discovered the pres
ent stocks will not last more than four
vpars.

for the human stomachs which crave it,
and buy alcohol pure. 1t is just as
cheap, for it can be reduced with water
according to its strength. l have used
a gallon of alcohol to five or SIX OF soft
water. Pick your cucumbers, wash
carefully, so as not to bruise them, and
put them in as fasta they are collected.
Stir them up from the bottom every
day, and stir in the scum that rises as
they work. This process soon makes
good pickles and sharp vinegar. The
sun or fire hastens the process. The
pickles are nicer if small.

The Orange.

Did you ever eat a ripe orange? No
doubt a vast majority of our readers
will say yes, and consider the question
rather a silly one. Yet we doubt if one
in five thousand has wei tasted q ripe
~orange-that is, n that ripeDed on
the tree, and was not plucked until
ready for use. The oranges of COM
merce are plucked before maturity, in
order to give time for ripening off the
tree and prevent decay. The eaters OF
such fruit have no conception OF the
lusciousners of the orange after natuie
has been allowed to perfect her work
upon it. 1t is, beyond comparison, the
prince of fruit.-Sauaanah Republican.

Curious Custom.

According to the Boston Journal, the
old Dutch families among the Catskil!s
have a most lugubrious custom of keep
ing a stock of grave clothes on hand.
Every member of the household has q
complete outfit prepared. The material
is the most costly that can be afforded,
and the garments are exquisitely fitted
and made. They are laid aside in cam
phor, and renewed from time to time,
if their intended wearer lives SO long
that they become yellow with age. This
is probably the strangest instance Of a
stitch in time on record.

When 10 Cut Brush.

Brush shuld be cut when in the most
vigorously growing state and when in
fullest leaf. At that time the plant re-
ceives the greatest check from being
cut closely. Generally late in July or
early in August is a favorable time.
Perhaps it is better to cut it two or three
times during the summer if the time
can be spared, as repeated checks have
more effect than one single me-. 1t is q
good and efiectual plan to keep all sorts
of weeds from breathing during the
entire season few withstand such a
course of treatment.

Not Himself, but Anxious about Him
self.

Nothing ismore curious in the psyche
logical history of man than freaks OF
the insane. Some of the strangest OF
which we have read Of late have been
exhibited by a man from Detroit, who
left his home a year ago and has been
travelling about under the impression
that he was somebody else. but retain
ing at the same time a peculiar interest
in his real self. He would write home
to his wife occasionally, inquiring after
her husband, being especially anxious
to learn whether he had " got over his
crazy spell yet" He was traced from
place to place for nearly a year before
his friends could come up with him.
