ence has discovered in natures Herb
Laboratory remedy for nine-tenths of
mans affections, yet such is the plain
truth. Chemistry is the wisdom of this
century. In DR.. Walkers VINEGAR
BIrTERs the noble science of chemistry
has wrought wonders. 1t has made
him the Good Samaritan, who does not
simply heal one, but millions. Away

herbs, such as chemistry has utilized
in VINEGAR BrrrERs, and your secre-
tions and excretions will continue
healthy-your blood pure and limpid-

To BAKE HAM.-Most people boil
ham. 1t is much better baked, if
baked right. Soak for an hour in clean
water. and wipe dry. Next spread it
all over with thin butter, and then put
it In deep dish with sticks under it to
keep it out of the gravy. When it is
fully done, take off the skin and matters
crusted on the flesh side, and set it
away to cool.

RE BREAD.-Into two quarts of flour
stir half coffee -cupful of yeast, a ta-
blespoonful of salt and enough warm
water to moisten the flour, making
thick batter. Let it rise over night in
the morning stir it again then put into
pans without kneading, making it quite
soft. Let it rise till very light, then
bake an hour in moderately heated
oven. This bread makes a pleasant
change from wheat and when the slices
are toasted and spread with butter they
are really as delicious as healthful.

How TO MAKE SUPERIOR CoFFEE.-
Divide the quantity generally used into
two equal portions put one into the
cotfee-pot on the stove, pouring cold
water upon it. Let it boil five or six
minutes: then pour the boiling coffee
upon the dry coffee in another pot for
the table. You have thus all the
strength and part of the aroma of the
one half, and all the aroma and part
of the strength of the other half. This
mode, when once tried, will be always
applied in the making of coffee.

CHARCOAL FOR LnR.-The discovery
of Anderson, of Scotland, that pulver-
lied charcoal effects the removal of hair
from hides las been subjected TO thor
ough trials by different manufacturers
of leather, and with very favorable re-
suits, according to reports made through
different journals. Since the charcoal,
however does not cause the hides to
swell. short previous lining, of two
or three days, is still necessary but
this is not objectional, as the charcoal
ing prevents any injurious result in
addition to the action on the hair. The
process can be carried on in the ordi-
nary lime pits at a temperature pre-
vailing for the greater part of the year,
namely, 500 to 70'; four to five days
being sufficient at temperature of co.
to 70' while seven to eight days are
ture is easily regulated by steam
Among the advantages the following
seem to be generally conceded: A de-
cided economy of time, as well as of
labor, since the subsequent operations
are rendered easier and the tanning
proper more rapid. The bran or dung
bath may be dispensed with. The
liquids act uniformly without leaving
specks. On account of the absence of
disagreeable odors the new process is
much more pleasant and less injurious
to health. The leather is softer and
better in quality, is easily worked, and
does not tear out in sewing. There is
gain of one-half to one pound in weight
of leather per hide, while the charcoal,
considering the amount required, &C.,
is found to be practically as cheap as
lime.

Scientific.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF RAIN.-To un-
derstand the philosophy of this beauti-
full and often sublime phenomenon. SO
often witnessed and so very essential to
the existence of plants and animals, a
few facts derived from observation and
long train of experiments, must be
remembered -
l. Were the atmosphere here. every
where and at all times, of q uniform
temperature, we should never have
rain, hail or snow. The water absorbed
by it in evaporation, from the sea and
the earth's surface, would descend in
an imperceptible vapor, or cease to be
absorbed by the air when it was once
fully saturated.
2. The absorbing power of the atmos-
phere, and consequently its capacity to
retain humidity, is proportionately
greater in warm than in cold air. The
air near the surface of the earth is
warmer than it is in the regions OF
clouds. The higher we ascend from
the earth the colder do we find the
atmosphere. Hence the perpetual snow
on very high mountains in the hottest
climate.
Now. when from continued evapora-
ton the air is highly saturated with
vapor, though it be invisible and the
sky cloudless, if its temperature is
suddenly reduced by cold currents de-
scending from above, or rushing from a
higher to lower latitude, by the mo-
ton of a saturated air to a lower
latitude, its capacity to retain moisture
is diminished, clouds are formed, and
rain is the result. 1t condenses, it
cools, and like a sponge filed with
water and compressed, pours out the
water which its diminished capacity
cannot hold

TESTING THE STRENGTH OF IRoN AND
STEEL RAUs.-In England it has been
found that three hundred pounds fall
ing fifteen feet broke an eighty-pound
rail. German engineers have long ap-
piled test of one thousand pounds
falling ten and one-half feet. In this
country fifteen hundred pounds falling
six feet is considered an extreme test.
In Austria test for steel rails has been
established, of two Thousand pounds
falling thirteen and one half feet, repre-
sentlng, 1t is said, about one and half
per cent carbon. German engineers
say three-tenths of one per cent is the
minimum limit of carbon a steel rail
should possess, otherwise the rail is too
soft. In England test was adopted of
two thousand two hundred and forsy
pounds falling fifteen to seventeen feet
on a rail resting ON heavy bearings.
These methods are expeditions and
practical for testing the strength of
rails.

SAYS the Springfield Republican A
generous, noble spirited man of this
city had a sick wife, not long ago, and
the doctor said that sleigh ride would
do her good. Did the fond husband
hire two horse sleigh and dash out

rowed sled of the boy next door,
placed his wife on it, and made his
hired girl draw the sled up and down
the sidewalk for an hour. But the
wife failed to thrive on the treatment.

NIGST- SOIL FOR FUEL. BY recent
experiments in Birmingham, England,
night soil and sewerage have been con-
verted into fuel of superior quality
and cheaper rate than coal. The mat
ter is rendered inodorous by chemical
treatment. 1t is then mixed with a
small quantity of coal gas tar, and COM
pressed into solid blocks of any size to
suit the customer. In this condition
1t is hard and compact, and gives forth
merely faint odor of coal gas tar. BY
experiment it was shown that this fuel
is better than eEeine-slack for heating
steam boilers. 1t is said to leave very
little ash, and this ash can be again
converted into fuel, which is even supe-
rior to the original. In consumption it
gives off but small quantity of smoke.
Little machinery is needed for the con-
version, and any kind of night-soil can
be used, while the fuel can be offered at
about half the price of engine-slack. A
superior quality for household purposes
can be made at as cheap rate. Shoould
this invention prove practical, it will
settle the question how proftably to
utilize our night-soil.

TREATMENT OF INFANTS IN SUMNER.
The Tribune remarks that In July and
August the baby becomes, or ought to
become, point of public interest.
When it becomes the victim of bad
ventilation, uncleanliness, or indiges-
ton, it is matter of deliberate cruelty.
Washing might be called the basis OF
a baby's salvation through teething; q
thorough sousing of the body in plenty
of cold water every morning, and when
the weather is extremely hot, tepid
bath at night washing, too, constantly
of all clothes and cloths used by the
infant, to afford it perfectly clean gar
ments at all times. Whatever milk be
given shonld be thoroughly sweet and
cool infants under two years should
be restricted in their diet to milk, oat-
meal mush or Cruel carefully prepared,
and beef broth or minced raw beef In
small quantities.
An infant never cries unless when
hungry, hurt or sick; and through these
two perilous months the helpless
little creatures require not only the
skillful care of wise mother, but the
brooding love of the most tender one.
If they do fret and cry (the editor says
against the discomforts and pain of a
world into which they came without
choice, and which shows them Just now
its roughest side-what wonder.

introduction of vaccination, the num-
Der OF deaths from small po1 in each
decennlal period ranged from Sc to 102

steadily decreased since that time from

average for the decennisl periods prior

PREPARING BoNEs.-The only prac-
ticable method of preparing bones for
manure is to crush and grind them in
a bone mill. The process is costly
when a small quantity only is to be
prepared as the power and machinery
required is heavy. A small mill re-
quires to 10-horse power. The cheap
est method is to reduce them in layers
between layers of moist unleached wood
ashes, but this process occupies some
time. 1t is almost as costly a process
to burn the bones when the loss of
ammonia is taken into account.
