Brandy from SaHdust.

In the current monthly report of the
Commissioner of Agriculture, it is an
nounced that there Is an immense
waste of material In OUR saw mills,
where the sawdust is thrown away,
and that it is possible to produce from
this dust good article of brandy. It
is suggested that the saw dust of pine
and of fir timber be mixed, and that a
compound be prepared composed of 9
parts moist saw dust, 1877 parts of water,
and part of hydro-chloric acid, max
ing 43 s parts altogether. These are to
be boiled under steam pressure eleven
hours, when it will be found that 19
per cent. of the mass will be grape su-
gar. The acid is to be neutralized with
lime, and mash supplied with yeast.
After ninety-six hours fermentation, a
distillation of the mash will produce
sixty one quarts of brandy of so per
cent. strength, and free of any smell OF
turpentine. 1t is claimed that in all
probability many other woods than pine
and fir will prove even better adapted
to the production of brandy.

Facts for the Household.

To Test Cofee.-Adulterated coffee can
be easily detected, even if the taste is
not sure index. If a teaspoonful of
genuine ground coffee be thrown into q
tumblerful of cold water, it will float
upon the surface. Substances used in
adulterating coffee will sink at once.
To Clean nMarble.-Spreadp potter-bakers'
clay on the spot, lay paper over it, and
press a warm iron on it. To clean a
marble slab, mix a quantity of strong
soap lye with quicklime to the consist
ency of milk, and spread over the stone,
and let it remain twenty-four hours.
Then rub off and polish with dry woolen
rags.
Bread and Butter Pudding.-A layer of
quartered sour apples, sprinkled with
sugar and nutmeg; a layer of dry bread
mo matter how dry buttered; another
layer of apples, with sugar and nutmeg
as before; and so continue until you
have filed your dish. E-.-
Gingerbread pint of molasses,
one teacup of butter, half teacupful
hot water, one teaspoonful soda, half q
teaspoonful pulverized alum dissolved
in the hot water, two tablespoonfuls
ginger; the whole mixed thoroughly
with enough of -four to roll out and
cut into cards. Bake at once in quick
oven. rt-v ..r
Flour P..dding.-Take one quart of
sweet milk, one teaspoonful salt, half a
teacup of sugar; mix, boil, and thicken
with one teacup of wheat -four, wet with
cold milk and stir until it boils again,
then remove from the fire. When half
cold, add two wellbeaten eggs, and
flavor with nutmeg or lemon. Add
raisins if you choose. Bake half an
hour. To be eaten cold, with or with
out sweetened cream.
Bread and Cakes.-Take the finest
ground Graham flour, mix stiff batter,
using sweet milk or soft water, or a part
of each; have your cast-iron gem-pan
as warm as it can be and not be so warm
as to burn the grease up when you
grease it. Dip the batter into the pan
| thus kissing hot. Set the pan in the
oven and bake quickly, and you have
the healthiest bread and cakes that car
be made for humanity to eat.

The obsequies were all that "the
boys" could desire. Such a marvel of
funeral pomp had never been seen in
Virginia City. The plumed hearse, the
dirge-breathing brass bands, the closed
marts of business, the flags dropping at
halfmost, the long, plodding procession
of uniformed secret societies, military
battalions, fire companies, draped en-
gines, carriages of officials, and citizens
in vehicles and on foot, attracted multi
tudes of spectators to the sidewalks,
roofs and windows; and for years after
ward the degree of grandeur attained
by any civic display in Virginia was
determined by comparison with Buck
Fanshaw's funeral.

A Long Bridge.

The Tensas and Mobile bridge, or
bridges, on the Mobile and Montgom-
cry Railroad, extends from Tensas sta
ton, on the Mobile and Montgomery
road, to the city of Mobile, a distance of
fifteen miles, crossing both the Mobile
and Tensas rivers, and including ten
draws, one for each of the navigable
channels into which the rivers are di-
vided. The bridge itself is constructed
of wood, but its pillars or, supports are
iron cylinders, which rest on a solid sur
face of wooden piles driven down even.
ly with the bottom of the stream and
the mud of the intervening morasses.
1t has been three years in the course OF
construction, at a cost of about s., ,5OO,-

fully completed, it is perhaps the long
est structure of the kind on the globe

HOW to Make BLACK Paint.

The most economical and satisfactory
black paint that we have ever used for
iron-work was made by mingling about
two quarts of coal-tar with pint or a
pint and half of benzine or. .benzole,
which was laid on with a paintbrush.
This makes an excellent black varnish
for rough work. 1t could not be recon-
mended, however, as a fine varnish for
any inside work. Three years ago, the
iron fence and iron balustrade and hand
rails of our front steps were covered
with such varnish, while the iron
work of adjoining neighbors has been
painted every year with oil, lampblack,
and varnish. At the present writing,
our fence looks much the best, and
scarcely needs painting, while theirs re-
ally needs q coat of paint. A paint
made of coal-tar and benzole will be
found excellent for smearing the iron
work of farm implements. As benzole
is somewhat volatile, no more paint
should be prepared at one time than
will be used immediately.-I Industrial

The late Superintendent of Public
Instruction of the brisk State of Iowa,
Alonzo Abernathy, sends in his report
of the public educational system of the

about 342, 600 attended the schools, and
enjoyed the services of l4.070 teachers,
two-Shirds of whom were females, with
an average weekly compensation of 9$

about 38 cents a week. There were

Fashion Gossip.

DoUBLE-LINK sleeve buttons and wide
morocco belts are among the many old
fashions that have been revived this
season.
THE newest style of window-shadesa are
of crimson silk, with the monogram in
the center of white lace and embroid-
cry.
THE favorite style of turnouts for
young gentlemen is high dog-cart, with
two horses, or a pannelled tilbury, with
coachman behind.
A NEW style of ornamenting parasols
is with top, in which is small ther-
mometer, so that they can always tell
to what degree of heat they have been
subjected in ther morning promenade.
MANY tables are decorated nowadays
entirely with glassware instead of china.
the plates, vegetable dishes, ETC., being
all made of solid cut glass, and the
effect by gas light is very beautiful.
A NEW fashioned ring is made of a
wide band of gold reaching nearly to
the first joint of the finger, and is stud
ded with alternate lengthwise rows of
turquoise and pearls or small emeralds
and diamonds.
A GENTLEMAN in New York city, who
has recently returned from Arabia, Gre
ated quite a sensation on Wednesday
afternoon by riding up the avenue, en-
route to the park, mounted on full
blooded Arab horse, while an Arab
servant, dressed in the full costume OF
his country, rode behind on a second
richly capazisoned horse. -
A NEW style of bracelets are called
the Marguerite Wristlets," and are oi
gold, made quite wide, and divided into
small squares, on each of which is de
sign in enamel, representing different
scenes from the opera Faust, and eacl
of these squares opens by small spring
| disclosing an appropriate motto o.
verse.
A BosToN bride, whose groom remon

see why they should stop now.
THE old story of bachelor filling hi

IRON shipbuilding appears to be rap
idly becoming an important branch of
industry in Denmark. Although for
the last fifteen years small iron vessels,
designed for trading between the various
Baltic ports, have been built at Copen-
hagen, it is only recently that the con-
struction of large steamers has been at
tempted. At present several of 1000
tons are being built, and one of these,
it is stated, will be employed in laying
down the telegraph cable between China
and Japan. Two steamers, each of
nearly 900 tons, the Rolfe and the Thor
waldsen, have just made the passage to
New York, and these are said to be the
first iron vessels built in Denmark
which have entered that port.
