A Resolution IN Blue.

We have all heard of red republi-
cans, and it seems quite natural to
associate revolutions with them but
our Revolution o hundred years ago
was connected also, with g blue color,
used by artists.
In the paintings of the celebrated
Raphael a beautiful blue is used,
which in his time Che died in 1920
was sold in quill tabes for its weight
in gold. 1t was made from a very
rare rock, and from being brought
from across the sea was called ultra
marine"
During the American Revolution,
the principal source of soda and pot
ash was cut Of, for these articles
were then produced chiefly by burn.
ing wood 10 our great forests. A
Mr.. Leblanc in France then Invented
a process of extracting soda from sea
water. 1t vas observed that in the
kilns in which this process was car
ried on, some of the bricks began TO
look blue. On further examination,
it was discovered that they were col
ored with the blue called ultramarine.
Before, it had been brought from be-
yond the sea. After this discovery
it was extracted from the sea itself
and at comparatively so small az
expense that to-day it is used foI
painting carriages ana coloring com.
mon writing-paper.

Covering Strawberries

Often there is much said, and
especially at this season of the year
about covering strawberries; and
many persons are induced by what
they read to act SO as to heartily re-
greet it when the spring comes round.
We have known people to act on
this suggestion, and cover their
.strawberry-beds with manure, and
find the whole completely rotten in
spring. And yet 8 little covering
with the right kind OF material is not
a bad thing. If the plants are en-
tirely unprotected the leaves are
Drowned and often destroyed; while
it must have been noted by every
observant gardner that the best fruit
comes from plants that have man
aged to keep their leaves bright and
green till their spring flowers appear.
And this is why 8 covering of snow
the whole winter is SO good for the
strawberry crop. As we have re-
marked, when the leaves are brown-
ed the crop is small; but when the
snow covers the plants the whole
winter long, they come out in the
spring in the best possible state for
fruittulness.
But we cannot always depend on
the saoy. 1t does not always come,
or continue iH C regular way. So if
some light material can be put over
the plants, that will not smother and
rot them, and yet will be just enough
to make a shade from the winter sun
and a screen from frosty winds, it
will be doing a good turn. to the
strawberry plant. Manure is bad.
There is . salt in it, especially when
fresh, which is destructive to foliage;
but cleap straw, or swamp or marsh
hay that is free from weeds, answers
the purpose very well. But il must
not be put on very thick. The iaes
is, just enough to make . thin screen,
and yet o enough to hold moisture
long. Shade without damp is the
idea. SGeh light protection is good
for the strawberry plant.

women who Never wash.

A SpiZza correspondent OF the
London Standard writes;
Those o. our readers who have
travelled in Spain have certainly re-
marked the dirty stripes on the necks
of the lovely senoras no devout
Spanish woman dares to battle with
out the permission of her confess"r.
This aversion to cleanliness has
come forward from the time of the
anchorites Sabinus, Pachomins, Be-
sarion, and other saints of the desert,
and indeed whole sects OF that epoch
condemned all additions as heathen-
ish, and were Landed because they
wore their clothes so long that they
rotted to pieces and fell off them, or
because their skins became as pun
icestoneD from the crust Of dirt on it.
The superstition that cleansing the
body soils the soul exists this day
among the women of those Christian
nations who have long carried on
conflicts with the Mohamedans, on
whom the Koran e%njoins frequent alb
lutions. A female Bulgarian is per-
mitted to wash only once in her life
the day before her wedding
and in most South Sclavonian fami-
lies the girls are rarely allowed to
battle, the woman never. | recall

her fingers into il, the same hngers
which lad just been engaged IN the
chase on her children's head, or
which had been gently scratching the
pig, the pet of the family, which is
always addressed by endearing
names. The adults squat or lie
down, the children tumble about in
the liquid which covers the
floor of the hut, and many women
are blear eyed in consequence of the
creosote caused by the smoke, which
can only escape through the door.

Afraid 10 Swear Alone.

The wicked practice of swearing,
which is so common es to offend the

About eighteen miles from Port
Gibson and one mile from Brandy
wine Springs, on the place of Mr..
0'Quin, the existence Of q great num-
Der of blocks of cut stone has been
known for an indefinite time, and the
people in the neighborhood have
used them for props for their houses.
Mr. JAS. Gage, Jr., went out there a
few days ago to explore and had a
specimen stone brought into town.
1t is about three feet long by about
twenty inches square, resembling 10
shape a bar of soap. Ii is probably
a native sandstone. Mr.. Gage took
this block himself from beneath the
roots of a large pine tree. 1t formed
a portion of q wall about twenty
feet broad on the top, which Mr.. Gage
traced for a distance of $50 yards.
The inference that one would natu-
rally draw from this superficial view
is that this must have been q city
wall, hut deep exploration might
show it to be a portion of q fort,
temple Or other building. Any way,
its antiquity is probably immense,
antedating the history oc the red
men

An Ingenious Counsel.

A farmer attending a fair with a
hundred pounds in his pocket took
the precaution of depositing it in the
hands of the landlord of the public
house at which he stopped. Having
occasion for it shortly afterwards, he
resorted to niue host for payment
But the landlord too deep for the
countryman, wondered what he
meant, and was quite sure no such
sum had ever been lodged in his
hands by the astonished rustic
After Intellectual appeals to the re-
collection, and finally to the honor
of the Bardolph, the farmer applied
to Curran for advice.
"Have patience, my friend" said
the counsel speak to the landlord
civilly-tell him you have left your
money with some other person. Take
a friend with you, and lodge with
him another hundred in the presence
of your friend, and come to me-"
He did 50 and returned to his
legal friend.
"And now | can't see how | am
going to be the better off for this, If
| get my second hundred back again,
but how is that to be done {"
go and ask him for it when he is
alone " said the counsel.
AYE, sir, asking won't do, Tam
afraid, without my witness, at any
rate.r
Never mind, take my advice"
said his counsel; "do as | bid you
and return to me-"
The farmer returned with his hun
dred glad to find that safely in his
possession.
Now, sir, | must be content but
| don't see that | am much better
off"
well, then" said the counsel,
now take your friend with you, and
ask the landlord for the hundred
pounds your friend say you leave
with him.
We need not add tina. the willy
landlord found he had been taken of
bis guard while our honest friend re-
turned to thank his counsel, exQltipg-
w with both hundreds in his pocket.

Fashion and an Emperor.

Napoleon, in the heighth of his
power sought to cripple the commerce
of England by imperial laws. He
ordered al embargo to all the ports
of Europe. He forbade the entrance
of British manufactures into France.
But thouge be could defeat the most
skillinl generals in the field, and die
tate laws to kings and emperors, he
was powerless to conCol the lasts of
ladies, or to constrain their sctjon.
In the brilliant reception given ia
his palace, be was mortified to see
that all the ladies, with Josephine at
the head, appeared in English mus
Inns, woolens and silks. The stronger
the national opposition TO England,
the more determined were the ladies
20 crafty their own taste, and while
the public spirit of the nation sup
ported Napoleon, the rule Of fashion
decided that no lady was fit TO sp-
pear in company whose dress was
not procured; from England. The
Emperor felt that fashion vas more
absolute in its sway that his desso.ic
edicts.
