Something About GlycerIne.

l.-Hlow Is glycerinc madel 2.-llow,
or in what manner, is it ignitedl g.
What is the meaning Of the name Aglaia,
and where and how did it originate ?
ARM l.-Glycerine is the sweet principle
of oils aud fats. 1t is made by boiling
olive oil with litharge and water until the
acids of the oil are converted into leatl-
salts, which are insoluble, while the gly-
cerine remains in solution. 9.--As you
speak OF ignition, you probably meant to
ask about the preparation of the very cx-
plosive mixture called nitro.glycerine,
used for blasting purposes. Nitro-glycer-
inc Is prepared by dissolying glycerine in a
mixture of equal measures of the strongest
nitric aud sulphuric acids, previously
cooled, and pouring the solution in a thin
stream into large volume Of water. The
nitro-glyCerine is then precipitatcd as q
colorless heavy oil. If drop of nitro.
glyccrine be placed on an anvil and struck
sharply, It explodes with very loud re-
port; and IL piece of paper moistened
with drop Of it be struck, 1t is blown
into small fragments. On the application
of flame or of red.hot iron to nitro-gly.
cerine, 1t burns quietly, and when heated
over lamp in the open air it eXplodes
but feebly. In closed vessel, however,
1t explodes at about 500 degrees Fahrcn'
heit with great violence 1t is often ig-
nitcd, like gunpowder, under water, by
Iseans of wire aud galyanic battery.
3.-Aglaia was the youngest of the three
Graces in mythology. 1t is also the name
Of one Of the group Of small planets re.
volving between Jupiter and Mars. 1t is
also the name of a genus of flowers. Tho
flowers of Aglaia odorata are used fol
periuming certain varieties of tea,

horticultural Hints.
From the Ohm Far,,,ar

One pound Of potatoes carefully cut viii
make one hundred sets. These will plan,
one hundred hills that should raise from
two to three bushels.
Soak beet and CAIRO. seed from twelve to
twenty four hours before sowing. This
forwards termination and helps then, TO
come up as quicAly as weels.
Thin plants and vegetables sufficiently
they mist have room according TO size.
Peas and corn may be forwarded by
soaking the seed. Keep damp and warm,
Do not plant peas twice on the same
ground the same or following season.
Weeds should be collected AMI removed
from the ground; after being palled or hoed
up they often root and gr@w. The best
way is to burn them root aud branch.
Tomato plants when set-if over three
inches tail-,houll be laid down and COW
cred except few inches Of top; they will
give better results. Keep the ground rich
Topdress the ground with pumpkins and
squash run over.
Spinach should be topdressel with guano
or composite droppings of fowls. But
above the crown, it will produce successive
crops.
Rhnbarb needs rich soil and plenty of
manure about It's roots: remove to dark
cellar in autumn, covered with good moist
soil. produces good stalks of nice flavor.
Squash, cucumber, melon and pumpkin
seed put in hills and covered, will be for
wariel by carefully pouring or boiling
water, and turning over them box or
vessel to keep the heat in. 1t is especially
good in late planting.
The thumb and finger is the best
squash bug trap yet known. Dust
often with sulphur, air-siacked lime or plas-
ter; use on cabbage and turnip to protoc.
from heas.
Begin in season to make your garden,
and be seasonable about all your opera
tons.
Dwarf popcorn planted in drills eighteen
inches apart and thin, Will produce album
dainty. When siking, SOW early purple
top strop leafturnip between the rows.
Plants do not eat manure, they drink the
essence Of it.
Drop few tomato seeds with peas,
when the peas are removed, thin to four
feet apart; they will come on rapidly and
make excellent late tomatoes.
Plant beets rather thickly; those taken
out when thinning make excellent green's.
In caltivating with fork or rake, work
backward to avoid showing footprints.
One large, strong eye left on potato sets,
throws up one strong stalk and gives large
potatoes. Several stalks give many small
ones.
Four to six hills of cuclmbcrs will sup
ply family. Plant for pickles in July.

The Wrong Man.

An 1rishman who was jogging along the
road between Baltimore and Washington,
stopped one night at a tavern for Il night s
lodging. The tavern was full, AMI the
landlord informed him that there wasn't a
solitary chance for a bed Of any kind, I'M
less he slept with the colored hoster.
After scratching his head moment, he
concluded to sleep with the fellow, and in
good time retired.
A party 0. young fellows who boarded
at the house heard about the nocturnal ANAL
gamation, and after both had got soundlv
to sleep, they went up to their rooms with
some burnt cork, AID blackened the Irish

over his shoulder To see who the man was,
AMI why he was standing so near him.
70 his utter astonishmept, there was
nobody near him. A am he looked into
the mirror, and again the startling and
incomprehensibl vision encountered his
gaze. He concluded it was some trick or
mystery connected with the place. and be-
gan to swallow his whisky The back
shadow in the glass did the same. Pat
emptie1 his glas. and started for another
mirror, in another part of the room.

A SOAP Mfnp.

From the Pueblo, n. NJ. } Chief lin.
The other day one of oar prominent
citizens rO lie oat up the mountain, three or
. four miles, on prospecting tour, and at a
certain point near the banks of the stream,
noticed some rocks Of peculiar formation.
lnStigated by that curio sity so fatal on
certain momentous occasion to old mother
Eve, he broke off a piece, and taking it to
the creek, plunged it into the water for the
purpose of ascertaining its consistency and
grain. Upon taking it out of his hands,
what was his surprise to see luther
formed, and with vigorous rubbing, the
stone proved To have a saponaceous quality
in fact, possessing all the cleansing vir-
tues of the most excellent soap. Being
greatly surprised, and not little mysti.
with the profound convection withal, tn at
he had found a big thing our discoverer
hastily gathered up few specimens and
brought the same to the Epg store Of DR..
p. Il. Thumbs, where it is now on exhibit
ton, aud can be inspected and tested by
the curious. The stone is of dun color
and about the hardness of chalk, and forms
q perfect lather, while it etfectually removes
all STAINS and grease spots from clothing
We have tried the soap personally, and
must pronounce it success. After bath
ing, it leaves the skin as soft and pure as
that of a new born babe, while the odor is
quite pleasant. 1t is certainly remark
able discovery, and the only query now is,
What next? A country that can pro-
duce mountains of gold AMI silver, narrow
guage mules, tarrantulas, flea bitten dogs,
and miEes Of soap to wash the whole with,
must be capable of producing almost any

TIE RrOfAne Intruder.

An lriahman being invited by q deacon
to accompany him to church, complied with
great alacrity. His pious friend seated
Pat IN his pew, and then with pious visage
and austere aspect, awaited the commence
ment Of the services. Pat looked about
him, and observing none Of the parapher-
malta, whispered inquiringly to the deacon:
Is this hereto church," 'ssR
Be still, my good man, and don't dis
turb the meeting" replied the urbane but
severe minister
- Faith an I'll do that same." rt
Presently the elder commenced his prayer,
which so excited the deacon that he
shouted in the fervor Of his heart, "Glory
to God,'
How'll yer whistr' cried the indignant
Celt.
The preacher stopped, and looked around
for the cause Of this disturbance. Seeing
no one he began again. Suddenly the de-
con cried out, " Amen"
"Will we be quiet. We thafe of the world,
and no. be disturbin' the paplel" giving
him dig 10 the ribs. The minister again
stopped, and requested some one to remove
the profane intruder.
"Beiad an will" Suiting the action
to the word, he collared the offending but
innocent worshpper, and pitched him out
Of the vestibule. Returning with consider
able pride, he addressed the minister
There, PLACE your reverence, I've put the
BLACKBOARD out, bad cess to him.
