Salt for Pear Trees.

The result of an experiment is thus re-
ported by horticulturist: " Last spring l
put small shoyelful of the refuse material
from the salt works, which is composed,
believe, of salt, lime and ashes, around
four year old pear tree. 1t has made
very thrifty growth, and the leaves are all
free from blight or spot, and have very
glossy, healthy look; while others of the
same lot, manured with barn-yard manure,
have grown but little, and the foliage is
spotted and dull. Now, If no i'll effect may
be attributed to the barn-yard manure, it
would seem that the difference in these
trees was owing to the salt"

Cleaning Feathers.

How shall we renovate old feathers and
also clean old ticks? This inquiry l have
seen in the papers. My way is this:-In
June, when the weather portends heavy
shower of rain, lay the feather tick on the
lawn or clean grass, and smooth it over
evenly. One-half hours heavy rain will
clean one side of badly soiled tick, unless
there be greasy spots. In this case l take
pail of hot suds, pour it on the spot brush
them, and let the rain rinse it out then
turn it over and serve the other side the
same. If the shower should be of short
duration, / put the bed out in the next
rain. To dry the bed, lay up the tick on
slat work, clean rails, or something of the
kind. If the feathers are much wet, so
much the better When drying, shake up,
beat with light rods, pick up Jumps if
there be any. When the bed is dry, the
tick will be clean, and the feathers almost
as good as new. Some of our beds have
been used thirty years. have lain them
in the rain every Summer; they are now
clean and good. 1t takes but short time
to dry the bed, but when it is dry to ap-
pearance, it is not at all fit to sleep on, but
should be laid on an empty bedstead, a
month or more with the windows up.--
This caution may be unnecessary, as no
wise head sleeps on feathers in the Sum-
mer.

Something About Carpets.

First, we will give you some idea as to
the cost of carpeting. AS we do not know
the size of the rooms, we cannot estimate
the entire value, but must conlne our state
ments to the price per yard. Ingram can
be had for 81 and $1,25, but good article
One that will wear well-is valued at
$1.45 and $3.50 per yard. Three-ply ran
ges in price from SLIGO to $175 yer yard,
and is really the most durable carpet one
can invest in. 1t is not only strong and
substantial but can be used on both sides,
which good quality can also be attributed
to the ingram, while tapestry or Brussels
can be worn only on the one side.
In Brussels carpeting we find two kinds
English body Brussels and tapestry.
The difference between the two is con-
siderable, both in texture and price. The
tapestry Brussels comes IN Just as desirable
colors and patterns as the other, but the
threads or loops are not fastened on the un-
der side This carpet can be distinguished
by taking piece Of the carpet and pulling
one of the threads, when the loops will
come out just like knitting or crotchet.
If carefully used, one of these carpets will
wear well; but rough sweeping, and boots
or shoes with tacks in them, will soon cover
the floor with strings of different colors
The price per yard is from $3.50 to $1.75
varying according to quality, colors, and
newness of pattern.
The English body Brussels is higher
priced and more substantial, although to
the inexperienced it does not appear any
better, or, in truth, different from tapestry
1t is more desirable than the other for this
reason The loops are fastened on the un-
der side, and therefore cannot be pulled
out, either by drawing the threads or by
pulling at the loops. SO to S2.35 are the
regular prices asked for English body Brus-
sells, but sometimes the newest designs sell
as high as $3.50, while those two or three
years old are sold for $1.75 per yard.
Underneath the carpets, Innings are now
used, consisting of two thclSnesses Of stout
brown paper with cotton between. These
soften the floors, and make the carpets
wear better. You will have to pay about
fifteen cents yard for the best qualities

GB-Too much wheat, it seems, was rails
cd in California, last summer. There are
not enough storehouses there to hold the
crop, or ships enough coming to San Fran
cisco to carry away the surplus. Many
thousands of bushels remain unthrashed in
the fields, and, although freights are dou-
BILE the rates of the previous year, hun
dred ships at least could be filed up with
the wheat now stored in San Francisco

The Arctic Expedition.

Commenting on Captain Halls Arc
tic expedition, the..New York World of
recent date SAYS:
DR.. l. 1. Hayes, the Arctic travel.
er, was interviewed on Saturday
about the death ofCaptain Hall o. the
Polaris. The Doctor thought there
must have been ~dissention on the
vessel and that the persons who re-
late the story of Halls death and of
their own marvellous voyage very pos
sibly have left the ship after a sue
ccssfnl mutiny. DR.. Hayes thinks it
probable that Hall was murdered, as
apoplexv is not common in high lat
itudes, and Hall cer'Rinly did not
have the appearance Of an apolectic
person. Should DR.. Hayes surmiSes
prove correct, the Polarais romance
will assume a tragic aspect. 1t is now
simply an unfortunate occurrence ;
then it would be a crime. Let Va
hope that the story as first sent may
prove correct.

a Washington special says the ar
rival here OF the survivors of the Pol
arts disaster is looked for with uruch
interest, because 1t is expected they
vii. be able to settle the question
whether or not there was i%nSubordi-
nation and mutiny on board the ship
prior to, as well as after the death of
Capt. Hall. The stories and eNplora-
tons already published are far from
satisfactory to the Navy Department.
and it is the purpose of the Secretary
to put the survivors through a sharp
examination. Old naval officers are
of the opinion that there may have
been INSTRUMENTATION among the crew
though the letter of instructions adj
dressed bv the Secretary to Capt.
Hall stated that the rules and regula-
tons of the navy should be en-
forced on the Po!aris. The crew was
not, however, regularly in the naval
service, and of course could not be
subjected to the punishment visited
upon refractory sailors in the navy.
1t is the opinion of the Secretary of
the Navy that the Polaris is safe and
that she will be heard from toward
the close OF the summer.
