Tansy for Bots i'm Horses.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Department
of Agriculture says: at appears from re-
marks by different writer's that none know
of any certain remedy. [ know of rem
edy that is safe and certain, discovered in
the following way: About thirty years ago
a friend lost, by bots, a very fine horse. He
took from the stomach of the dead horse
about gill of bots and brought them to
my Office to experiment upon. He made
preparations of every remedy he had heard
of, and put some of them into each. Most
had no effect, few affected them slightly,
but sage-tea more than anything else; that
skilled them in fifteen hours. He con-
cluded that he would kill them by using
nitric acid; but it had no more effect on
them than water; the third day they were
as lively as when put in. A bunch of
tansy was growing by my Office. He took
a handful of that, bruised 1t, added lit
tie water, squeezed out the juice and put
some in; they were dead in one minute.
Since then / have given it to every horse
| have seen affected with bots, and have
never known it to fail of giving entire re-
lief. My friend had another horse affect
ed with bots, several years later. He gave
him the tansy in the morning and dose
of salts in the evening; the next morning
he took up from the excretions three half
pints of bots"

How to Cure SpL

HAD horse that had both hoofs split
from top to bottom. He could not walk
without his feet spreading apart. L kept
him for three months on straw one foot
deep in the stable, but all did no good. AT
last I went to the blacksmith shop and
had heavy shoes wade which spread wide
at the heels. To these heavy shoes there
was welded at the outside of each heel a
piece made of shoe-nail iron. These
pieces were made to fit well around the
foot about an inch below the hair. | let
the pieces come together within half an
inch each and turned up about three
fOurths of an inch. In the turned-up part
hole was made to receive bolt an inch
long with square head and screw and
nut on the other end. On mailing the
shoes ON and putting the bolt in and
screwing on the nut the foot was brought
together. In this way was enabled to
work him every day if wished. Previous
to this my horse had not walked one mile
in three months. Next day after | had
the shoes put on | drove him in carriage
twenty miles, and / have used him right
along. Cincinnati Gazette.

American Ladies i'm Paris.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Hornet says: A few families are still
courageously giving hopsn-we cannot
call them balls, The Baroness of Voilly
and the Countess of Behague are exempla-
ny in this respect; young girls must adore
them! The colonies, however, are dispers-
ing rapidly. The American colony es-
pecially has shut its doors, and is off to
where the most amusements invite it, and
ii is astonishing to see the void which it
makes in Paris society. What the Hornet
has said over and over again is now re-
peated by every one, and even by unprei-
udiced members of the Parispre Ameri

The Sacred Fire.

A writer says: "In the house of every
Greek and Roman was an altar; on this
altar there had always to be small GUAM
tity of ashes and few lighted Goals. 1t
was sacred obligation for the master of
every house to keep the fire up night and
day. Woe to the house where it was eX-
tinguished. Every evening they covered
the Goals with asheS to prevent them from
being entirely consumed. In the morning
the first care was to revive this fire with a
few twigs. The fire ceased to glow upon
the altar only when the entire family had
persisted; an extinguished hearth an ex-
tinguished family, were synonymous ex-
pressiOnS among the ancients. The sacred
fire was the providence of the family.
The worship was very simple. The first
rule was that there should always be upon
the altar a few live Goals; for if this fire
was eXtinguished god ceased'to exist. At
certain moments of the day they placed
upon the fire dry herbs and wood, then the
god manifested himself in bright flame
They offered sacrifices to him, and the es-
senee of every sacrifice was TO sustain and
reanimate the sacred fire, to nourish and
develop the body of the god. This was
the reason why they gave him wood before
anything else; for the same reason they
afterward poured out wine upon the altar
the inflammable wine of Greece-oil,
incense and the fat of victims. The god
received these offerings and devoured
them; radiant with satisfaction, he rose
above the altar and lighted up the wor-
shipper with his brightness. Then was
the moment to invoke him, and the hymn
of prayer went out from the heart of
man."

Wax Fruit-Making.

Closely allied to wax flower-mak ing is
that of wax fruit, some specimens OF
which are marvellous for their faithful i'm
itation of nature. Here molding or cast
ing is OF more importance than in flower
making, seeing that accuracy of form is
the chief desideratum. Most kinds of
initiative fruit are shaped in double molds,
one for each half, and if the fruit is irreg-
ular in its curvatures tripartlte mold
may be needed. Say that an orange is
to besimitated in wax; az smooth, damp
surface of sand is prepared into which eX-
actly one half OF: a good orange is care
fully pressed; Gordon orborder OF tin or
stiff paper is built up around it at about
half an inch distance from the orange on
all sides; plaster of Paris, in q cream-like
consistency is poured into the cell thus
made, so as to fully cover the orange !;
when quite firm enough to handle this
plaster halfmold is taken up and the
orange extricated; the orange is turned
over in the sand and another halfmold
made in similar way. Whether fruit is
cast solid or hollow depends mainly on
the size; if large the mass would be heavy
and much wax wasted by solid casting;
in this case core of some rough material
is fixed in the middle of the mold, which
gives cavity to the middle of the fruit
Soft kinds of fruit, such as plums, cher
ries and ripe pears, and some hard
and unyielding fruits, require special
management to eXtricate them from
the halfmold without injury-to the fruit
on the one hand or to the mold on the
other. Pomegranates, medlars, pine-ap-
pies, ETC., require molds in more than
two parts Occasionally elastic molds
of glue are found advantageous. Generally
speaking, the color Of the wax employed
is that of the lightest parts of the fruit, the
deeper tints being afterWard laid on with
brush or pencil The chief pigments en-
ployed are such as burnt and raw lumber
and sienna, chrome yellow, red lead,
Prussian blue, carmine, lake, ETC., greens
being produced by various admixtures of
blue and yellow Certain small varieties
of fruit, such as grapes and currants, are
made of glass bulbs, carefully blown to
the proper shape; these are fixed by wax
to wire inserted into holes, and are then
dipped into melted wax of the proper
color, a very thin coating Of which gives
the proper kind Of semi-transparency to
the glass, and at the same time smooth
ness of surface not inaptly resembling that
Of the natural fruit. The fastening of the
various fruits to initiative stems, leaves,
leaflets, ETC., is an affair of wires, silken
thread, strips of green paper, white flock,
arrowroot-paste, gum mastic, varnish, with
other simple materials and tools employed
in artificial flower-making. Boston Jour-
nal Of Chemistry.

FARM AND HOME.

TO make cream toast, heat sweet
cream over steam until hot. but do not al
low it to boil; add little salt, dip the
toast in the cream, and send all that re-

toast is delightful when properly made
but if the cream boils, or is cold, or the
toast soaks or cools, it is insipid
TO make rich buns, mix one pound

sugar; melt a pound and two ounces of
butter in a little warm water; add six
spoonfulS OF rose-water, and knead the
bread into light dough, with half pint
of yeast; then mix five ounces of caraway
in, and put some on them.
TO make scrambled eggs have spider

slip them into the spider, add very little
