SNAKE poison raises human blood to
a high temperature and induces a
putrescence which increases in rapidity
as the temperature rises. The heart
becomes sluggish, so that the putrid
blood moves along the vessels very
much like thick dirty water in a gutter
with but little fall. 1t is this fatal
condition that alcohol overcomes in
cases of snake poisoning. 1t reduces
the temperature of the blood and
checks the putrid tendency. 1t also
increases the action of the heart, which
hastens the blood through the lungs
and gives it opportunity for more
copious oxidization.

By PLUNGING sheet of paper into an
ammoniacal solution of copper for an
instant, then passing it between two
cylinders and drying it, it is rendered
entirely impermeable to water, and may
even be boiled in water without disin-
tegrating. Two, three, or any number
of sheets thus rolled together become
permanently adherent, and form a ma
terial having the strength of wood. By
the interposition of cloth or of any kind
of fibre between the layers the strength
is vastly increased.

Coon EcoNoMIsr.-French people
have a knack of making a little go a
great way. In the first place, not an
ounce of food is wasted in harvesting
or preparing for market. In the next
place, not An ounce more of vegetable,
flesh, fish or fowl, groceries or liquids,
than is really needed, ever goes into
the pot or kettle, or is placed on the ia
BILE. The wife of every French family
knows to a nicely, what quantity of
each kind of food is the least that will
suffice to make comfortable meal, and
not particle more than that is cooked
or served. There are no slop-buckets
full of broken victuals left on table,
after breakfast or dinner, to be thrown
on the street or manure heap, or flung
to dogs or swine, as in America. No
pieces of bread and meat, or vegeta
bles, are thrown away such quantities
are not bought as to become stale or
spoiled IN the cellar or pantry. Servants
are never permitted to waste or steal
food for poor relations, as in America.
The housewife looks after the market
ing, her kitchen, and her pantry, with
sharp eyes and unfagging care. y
economy in the consumption Of fuel for
cooking and dhouse-warming is immense,
as compared with that in our wasteful
country. One reason, Of course, is.
that wood and coal in France are scarce
and dear. They cost at least double
the price paid therefore in the United
States but the domestic consumption
is not one quarter as much.

right. Soak for an hourin clean water,

RESTORATIVE A NoURIsHINa BRorH.-
Slice three onions and dispose them in
Q pipkin so as to cover the bottom of
it, over them place Q layer of fat bacon
in slices Q quarter of an inch thick !;
over that put three carrots, cut in
slices, SO as to form another layer; on
this put the following condiments
judiciously proportioned-viz: salt
whole pepper, cloves, parsley, marjoram,
and thyme. Upon this put two calves
feet chopped in small pieces, and one
pound OF beef free from fat and finely
minced. Cover the pipkin and put in
on the fire, let it cook slowly for an
hour, then fill up the pipkin with boil
ing water so as just to cover the con-
tents, and let it simmer for an hour
longer. After that the liquor should
be poured off without disturbing the
contents. The liquor should now be
strained through napkin and the fat
which will float on it should be taken
off with some clean blotting paper, and
the broth is ready for use. A teaspoon
full of sherry and a small quantity Of
sugar, may be added if desired. This
broth when cold will be firm Jelly.
After the liquor is poured off the con-
tents of the pipkin can again be covered
with boiling water with the addition of
a few spice and sweet herbs, a couple
of hours boiling will produce second
portion of broth nearly as good as the
first.
What is row left in the pipkin is an
excellent foundation for making some
very good soup. Take all the cold
meat that may be at hand, and put into
q boiler with the contents of the pipkin,
adding more spice, herbs, pepper and
salt, and vegetables if desied. Pour
over it three quarts of water and let it
simmer for five or six hours, then strain
and clear with the white of an egg.
No 2. Proceed as in the above as far
as the layer of carrots and in putting in
the spices, substitute mace and little
nutmeg for the cloves put in the calves
feet, and instead of the beef have fowl
which must be cut and chopped into
small pieces. Finish this in the same
manner as number one. The sweet
herbs and spices used will be found very
appetizing and the broth very nourish-
ing to the invalid.

Scientific.

A Few WORDS ABOUT CoAL.-We see
that coal-seams are the remains of an
cient vegetable layers, formed under
meath the trees of the ancient forest. But
it is not to be supposed that every
forest in those old times spread its
shade over a mass Of decaying vegetable
matter, until the time should come
when the mass should be covered over
with shale or sandstone. In order that
coal-seams should be formed, it WAS
necessary that the forest region should
be so abundantly watered as to form q
forest swamp like the cypress swamps
of Mississippi. Yet, again, it was
necessary that during the fresh-water
inundations which helped to accumulate
the vegetable matter round the roots Of
the ancient forest-trees, no mud should
be carried into the swamps. As Lyell
says, "One generation after another of
tall trees grew with their roots in mud,
and their leaves and PROSTATE trunks
formed layers of vegetable matter,
which was afterwards covered with
mud, which has since turned shale.
Yet the coal itself, or altered vegetable
matter, remained all the while unsoiled
by earthly particles" This is fact
which seems at a first view altogether
perplexing features of any natural
enigma. geologists have been led by
this difficulty to the Interpretation of
the enigma. 1t is to this very fact that
we owe the most trustworthy infOrma-
tion yet obtained respecting the pro-
cess by which coal-beds were originally
formed. The solution of the difficulty
is due to the same eminent geologist
from which we have already quoted the
statement of it. 1.-The enigma" he
says, "however perple1ing at first sight.
may, 1 think, be solved by attending to
what is now taking place in deltas. The
dense growth of reeds and herbage
which encompasses the margin of for
est covered swamps in the valley and
delta of the Mississippi is such that
the fluviatile waters, in passing through
them, are filtered and made to clear
themselves entirely before they reach
the areas in which vegetable matter
may accumulate for centuries, forming
coal if the climate be favorable. There
is no possibility of the least intermix-
ture of earth matter in such cases.

AsPARAGUs.-Cut off tops and cover
the bed with coarse manure. Remove
celery and bury in trench, as deep as
the plants are high as closely as it cal
be packed, and cover with straw as the
advancing cold requires-so says an old
market gardener. Fresh planting OF
rhubarb, asparagus, fruit trees, cur
rants, gooseberries, raspberries and
strawberries may be made now with
profit, if well done, and the ground
mulched where necessary during win

DRESSING BLACK HoGs.-A correspon-
dent says: The principal objection to
the Essex and Berkshire breed of hogs
/ find to be their color. Now, as You
att, justly observes, this is not skin
deep. The coloring matter will be
found to be secreted between the true
skin and the epidermis or outer skin.
If care is taken in scalding black hogs
they can be dressed as white as any
white hog. 1t is a well-knowu princi-
pie that all black substances absorb
heat. Hence in dressing black hogs
the water should not be so hot as in
scalding white ones. Instead of this
color being an objection, 1 regard il
as an advantage, for the skin of black
hog will always be found to be smooth
and glossy, free from cutaneous erup-
tions, and always clean.
