FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Durable Garden Stakes.

A correspondent wishes to know the
best way to make durable garden stakes,
for supports and other purposes where
the wood is thrust into the ground, and
o decays under ordinary exposure
and mentions red cedar, gas tar, petro-
leum, etc. He wishes to make a supply
during winter. Red cedar, where 1T can
be had, is excellent for stakes, splitting
straight and clear, and lasting for a long
time. A common fence post selected
for its even grain, will make a large
number of common sized garden stakes
this is the easiest and cheapest way,
if the cedar can be had in market.
Next to red cedar, gas or coal tar is best
for the part which runs into the
ground. The best way to apply it is to
put the tar into a close boiler, heat it.
being careful to prevent its catching
fire, and then put in the stakes rather
further into the hot tar than they are
expected to &C in the ground. In a few
minutes the tar will have penetrated
the pores, and they may be taken out to
give place to a second parcel, and so IN +;
a large number may be thus prepared
in an hour or two. We have thus made
light porous wood last twenty times as
long as without any protection. Where
exposed to air and sun, the gas tar is of
very little use, and for such exposed
parts crude petroleum, washed ver the
surface and absorbed by the wood, is far
better, and one of the cheapest and best
of all protectors Of exposed woodwork.
We have lately seen an account of a
mode Of protecting stakes by gas tar, by
which they may be made to last many
years when subject to continued expo
sure, by rolling the tarred portion in
sharp and as 500 as taken out of the
kettle, and after they are perfectly dry
giving them another oat of tar and of
sand. This would obviously give them
a waterproof and frost-proof casing, as
a mixture of tar and sand is affected by

To Preserve Books.

1t is not, perhaps, S o generally known
as it deserves to be, that a few drops of
any kind of perfumed oil will cur
books and manuscripts from the deteri-
Grating effects of mold and damp. The
species of leather so extensively used
by b~ook-binders owes its powers to with
standing the effects of these destructive
agents to the tar of the birch tree
6etula alba. The preserving of books
written on papyrus and parchment, by
means of perfumed oils, was known to
the ancients. The Romans made use,
for this purpose, of the oil of cedar.

Food Strike i'm England.

A food strike which has been going on
for some time In the north of ENGLAND
begins to assume serious dimensions,
and threatens a violation of the peace.
At Consett, which is n of the head
quarters of the movement, groups OF
women severely handled one of their
own sex who ventured to make a pur-
chase from an obnoxious butcher. The
police had to interfere, but so deter
mined is the resistance to high prices
that the butchers have ceased to kill
meat, and the population is reduced. in
spite of itself, almost to a vegetarian

Alligator skins.

The traffic in alligator skins is be-
coming quite an item in commercial cir
cles. During the past five months a
gentleman of Jacksonville, Fla, has
shipped to parties in Boston 1880 alli-
gator skins. If the traffic in these hides
should continue undated during the
next season, it is evident that those who
go to Florida for the purpose of shoot
ing these interesting reptiles will be
compelled to penetrate far into the
wilds of the State, and the success of
the sport will be somewhat limited.

The Jews.

In spite of the ~tenacity of faith char
acteristic of the Jews, Christianity does
make some progress among them. Of
10000 Jews living in London, 1000 are
members of Christian churches. Of
$4,000 in Berlin, 1000 are said to be
converted. The total number of Jews
in Europe is reckoned at 3,431 800, and
of these 10000 are reckoned as Christian
converts. In the Episcopal Church, in
England, 100 ministers are said to be
of Jewish birth.

treasure to the amount of 100000,
was sunk off the coast of Ecuador, and
hitherto all efforts to recover'the specie
have proved abortive. A San Fran

formed to seek for the treasure, and, as
earnest of their probable success, a little

have been picking in the brine of old

been sent home.
