CAPACITIES OF CAsT-IRoN.-A recent
writer in London journal asserts that
cast-iron is unsuitable for use as a tie,
because its strength is uncertain, and
on account of its accommodating itself,
less than mallesble iron to any cross
strain. Malleable iron allows of con-
siderable twist, without any great
diminution of its direct strength, while
any twist brought on bar of cast-iron,
with a direct strain, is almost sure to
result in fracture, long before the whole
of its direct strength is brought into
action.
As regards the use of cast iron to re-
sist direct strain, there are some pecu-
liarities which have an important bear
ing on its application to certain pur-
poses. In this connection may be in
stanced the M 'ufacture of hydrostatic
presses and water pipes, where it is
noteworthy that, although the strength
of boiler exposed to an internal pres
sure might be supposed to be in exact
proportion to its thickness, yet, practi-
cally, this is not the case, and the
thickness has to be increased in q
greater proportion than the strain.
Cast iron may also be considered to
have its elasticity destroyed with about
one-third the weight that will produce
fracture; and, therefore, it ought not
to be loaded, in permanent construc
tions, to more than this amount.

LICE on SwINE.-A correspondent of
the CINCINNATI Gazette cures his hogs
of lice as follows:-He nails three or
four large copper cents to the bottom
of the trough in which they are fed,
and the lice all leave. The remedy he
asserts is harmless, and has never failed
when tried in this section.

CALIFORNIA sent l, 900 bales OF cotton
10 market last year, and is going into
the business more extensively this year.
1t is said that the crop will pay in that
State, at half the present price, twenty
cents per pound. Cotton is much
safer crop than grain. and is more easily
transported, and furthermore the Cali
fornians hope for market in China
and Japan.

A MAN, who was undoubtedly insane
on the subject of religion, entered one
of the Detroit telegraph Offices the other
day and wrote the following message:
"To the Lord in Heaven-Where shall
I go next? The world is growing worse
and worse every day. There is not an
honest Christian in America" He was
informed that the Western Union line
didn't connect with the other world,
and he went to see about mailing a
letter.

ARRANGEMENT OF Cut FLowERs.-The
London Gardener says that of all the
various mistakes made by persons in
arranging flowers, the commonest is
that of putting too many In a vase !;
and next that, is the mistake of putting
too great a variety of colors in one
bouquet. Every flower in a group
should be clearly distinguishable and
determinable without pulling the nose
gay to pieces; the calyx of a cove pink
should never be hid by being plunged
into the head of white phlo1, however
well the colors may look.
Sweet peas never look SO well in the
hands as they do on the boughs over
which they climb, because they cannot
be carried without crowding them but
put them lightly in vase with an equal
number of mignonette, or rather, orna-
ment vase half full of mignonette, with
few blossoms of sweet peas, and you
get charming effect, because you fol
low the natural arrangement by avoid
ing crowding of the blossoms, and put
ting them with the green foliage which
they want to set them of.
Few people are aware, until they try
it, how easy it is to spoil such pleasing
combination as this; a piece of calceo-
laria, scarlet geranium, or blue SALIVA,
would ruin it effectually. Such decided
colors as these require to be grouped in
another vase, and should not even be
placed on the table with sweet peas.

Domestic.

CARE FOR DAU0HTERs.-Would you
show yourself really good to your
daughters? Then be generous to them
in . truer sense than that of heaping
trinkets on their necks. Train them
for independence first, and then labor
to give it to them. Let them, as soon
as ever they are grown up, have some
little money, or means of making money,
to be their own, and teach them how to
deal with it, without needing every
moment somebody to help them. CAL
culate what you give them or will be-
queath to them, not, as is usually done,
on the chances of their making rich
marriage, but on the probability OF
their remaining single and according to
the scale of living to which you have
accustomed them. Suppress their luIu-
ries now If need be, but dc not leave
them with scarcely bare necessaries
hereafter, in striking contrast to their
present home. Above all, help them
to help themselves. Fit them to be
able to add to their own means rather
than to be forever pinching and econo-
mizing till their minds are narrowed
and their hearts are sick. Give all the
culture you can to every power which
they may possess. If they should marry
after all, they will be the happier and
the better for it. II they should remain
among the million of the unmarried,
they will bless you in your grave, and
say of YOU what cannot be said of many
a doating parent by his surviving child,
"My father cared that I should be happy
after his death as well as while / was
his pet and his toy"

Scientific.

A NEW APPLIANCE OF ELECTR1CITY.-
The influence of electricity on the
growth of plants has recently been
made the subject of careful study in
England. The method pursued and
the results obtained may be thus briefly
described: Upon plate OF glass three
inches square, two strips of sheet-tin
are laid so as to nearly touch In the
center. Upon this glass, and covering
the tin strips, is spread piece of COM
mon felt moistened with rain-water /;
and, upon its dampened surface, cress-
seeds are thickly strewed. The tin
plates are then connected with the op-
posite poles of weak galvanic battery /;
the result being that one-half of the felt
is charged with positive and the other
with negative electricity. At the side
of this plate is a second, which has
connection with the battery, and upon
which the seeds grow, subjected to no
artificial conditions. The results of
this novel course of experiment are
given as follows: After the lapse of
four days the seeds on the opposite side
of the first piece of felting gave signs of
termination, while the hulls were shriv-
cling up and becoming black. On the
negative side of the felting the seeds
were at the same time swollen, and their
hulls, which retained their natural color,
were beginning to burst. At the end of
six days the first shoots made their ap-
pearance. 1t was not till several days
later that the first shoots appeared upon
the second plate. 1t is recorded, as
the most peculiar result of this trial
that, while on the negative pole, where
there was every sign of stronger devel-
opment, the root-sprout sank downward
into the moist felting, the roots from
the positive side rose upward from
blackened and dried-up seeds. These
experiments serve to enforce the
opinion, recently advanced, that often
by the simplest methods, intelligently
applied, results may be obtained which
bear directly upon the most important
natural phenomena.

Calls FISH THAT Cones TO MY NET. &"
Nice little girl-"Oh, Mr.. Brown,
give me one of the fish you've been
catching"
Brown (who rather fancies himself,
and does all he can to keep up the char
acter)-'I haven't been fishing, my
dear I've been for row."
Nice little girl-"Why, Emily was
looking at you through telescope, and
said you did nothing but catch crabs. /"
Brown retires, smiling painfully, and
reads his "sloper" upside down.
