DRAWING AS AN EDUCAToR.-In referring
to the usefulness of the art of drawing, in
education, the Illustrated London NeDs says {:
THE school board have Iaken an important
and, we think, very wise step by resolving to
introduce the elementary teaching of draw
ing into the schools, The teaching of draw
ing confers, rs it were. new sense it
deyelopes perceptions which reading and
other branches of education can never reach.
To say nothing of the increased pleasure it
affords through life, 50 long as the power of
sight endures, it trains, precisely those facul-
ties which are most regarded in nearly all
mechanical occupations, and it forms, there
fore, the basis Of most technical education
There are few mechanics who would not be
benefited in their work by knowledge Of
drawing while here and there the proposed
teaching may stimulate genius thaimight 9th
erwise remainIl mant. The system Of teach
ing adopted in the German kindergarten has
been recommended and the suggestion de-
serves consideration"

To PICKLE HAMS. To every 100
pounds of hams or shoulders trimmed
into good shape, take eight pounds of
salt, two ounces Of saltpeter, two ounces
of saleratus, an ounce of cayenne pep
per and two and half pounds of light
brown sugar, or one quart of good clean
.molasses. If additional seasoning is
wished, add one quarter of a pound of
ground cloves; and in the South substi-
tute one quarter of a pound of black
pepper in place of cayenne, as it is
more distateful to insects If the hams
are to be cured in dry pickle, mix these
ingredients thoroughly in tub, andrub
the meat well once every other day (es-
pecially on the flesh sides and into the
ends of the shanks), until the pickle has
all been taken up by the meat. If a
brine pickle is preferred, pack the hams
closely as possible, rubbing them with
salt at the time. Then put the above
ingredients into water enough to dissolve
them, boil and skim, then set away to
cool, and pour over the meat, adding
warm (not hot) water enough to com
pletely cover the meat; which must be
held down by stone. In four to six
weeks take them out, drain and smoke,
or use without, as preferred. Country

REsHARPENING FILES Well worn files are
first carefully cleaned with hot water and
soda; they are then placed in connection
with the positive pole of a battery, in bath
composed of 40 parts sulphuric acid and
900 parts of water The negative is form
ed of a copper spiral, surrounding the files
but not touching them; the coil terminates
in wire which rises toward the surface.
This arrangement is the result of practical
experience. When the files have been in the
bath ten minutes, they are taken out, wash
ed. and dried, when the whole Of the hollows
will be found to have been attacked in very
sensible manner; but should the effect not
be sufficient, they are replaced in the bath
for the same period as before. Sometimes
two operations are necessary, but seldom
more. The files, thus treated are to all ap-
pearances like new one.. and are said to be
good for sixty hours work NJ. Werder-
mann employs twelve medium Bunsen ele-
ments for his batteries.

The CRYsTALLIzATIoN or CARBON Il
would like to add my testimony to what
you have already published to the world on
the crystallization Of carbon. especially as at
last we seem to be on the high road to sue
cess.
Twenty years ago, while conducting ex-
perimerts for another purpose, was ac-
cidently led to the conclusion that the dia-
mond is crystal of slow growth, from carbon,
first reduced either to liquid Or gaseous
state. l inferred this, partly, from the
growth of large crystals of other substances,
whose full size was not attained in less than
from five to eight years time. This theory
is less complex than that of Mr.. THESE, of
Rochester, and it consists in confning car
bonio acid gas in a large strong receiver, and
in submitting it to a moderate heat and great
pre- sure l,r considerable length of time.
The oxygen would probably be first thrown
down to form ozone other constituents and
spurious carbon would follow, forming a
mass at the bottom, upon which the crystal
lization of pure carbon would take place in
due time
| would suggest the construction Of several
large and stout glass vessels fol- the purpose,
so that different combinations of chemicals
may be submitted to trial, and the result
noted from day to day.

SCIENTIFIC.

RUsTiNo OF RAILWAY RAus.--At the re-
cent session Of the American Association for
the Advancement Of Science, Professor Hal
deman read a paper on this subject, showing
that railway rails when in use oxdized but
very little, but when not in use were subject
to rapid oxidation In fact, disuse for one
day, for example, Sunday, resulted in vis-
ible increase Of rust Of the track rails This,
in the opinion of the author, would indicate
that in chemical combination, vibrations may
interfere with the molecular arrangement of
the clements In the discussion which fol-
lowed, Professor Wander Weye took the
same view, and thought that molecular rela-
tions tended to prevent rust. But other
speakers combatted this view, and it was
Suggested that possibly the oil employed up
on the locomotives might be more or less
spread in thin film over the rails in use,
and thus prevent their oxidation.
Professor Robert Mallet, of London, has
had his attention called to this discussion,
and in a recent note 10 The Engineer states
that some thirty years ago he was requested
to examine and report upon the same matter
on behalf of the British Association for the
Advancement Of Sciences a grant OF money
being allowed for the purpose. lie made a
variety Of experiments and examinations, all
of which were duly reported. lie found, in
brief, that one of the reasons, why rails
when used corrode less than the same rail;
when not used, is because the vibration of
the used rails tends to shake off the rust
formed, so as to prevent its prolonged con-
tact with the metallic iron from accelemting
the corrosion Of the latter.

Coon RECIPE FOR DoUGHNUTs.
Take three eggs, beat we'll; have your
pot ON the fire and your lard all melted
ready to fry the nuts. Take three ta-
blespoonfuls of the melted lard, two
good heaping cups of sugar, rolled; sift
about three pints of flour, put it in the
bread bowl, make round place in the
middle of the flour to hold four eggs;
when they are beaten pour them into
the -four; now the sugar, then the melt
ed lard, now one half teacup Of sour
cream or buttermilk, into which put one
heaping teaspoonful of soda; beat the
milk and soda up uutil it foams, pour
among all the rest, now put in around
cinnamon to suit you OF any other spice
you like best. And now the secret
comes: If you want them good don't
mix quick, but take your time; work and
squeeze the eggs, lard, sugar, etc, back
ward and forward through the fingers
until it will be stiff and make dough in
spite of you. When you fry, try and
keep the grease at a regular heat and
not too hot, bnt fry quickly. Make the
dough about as stitfas biscuit dough.

How WooL GROWING PAYs.-W. c..
Ridgely tells the readers of the oldest
agricultultural paper in the United
States, the Baltimore American Farmer,
how wool growing pays, in these few
words: Washington county, Pennsylya-
mia, is claimed to be the banner county
Of the State in wool growing, and they
take a great interest in this branch of
farm husbandry The product tlss
year was over 2,OOO,O 900, pounds, which
brought over 81 900, 600 in money into
the county. As the county is not runto
sheep specially, the bringing of a mil
lion dollars every year from outside can
scarcely fail to insure a permanent and
conspicuous prosperity. The people of
many other sections, by initiating the
practice of our Washington county
friends, can secure in measure their
thrift. One thing for which Washington
county is remarkable is the attention
which sheep owners give to the improve
ment Of their hocks, and the constant eff
fort they make TO hold them 10 the high
est standard.

Tho sunsets flush was over all;
The ruined castle en- the height,
Rejecting back tho Western rays,
seemed an aglow with golden light.
We driitcd ON, my loveaud 7;
The river bore Us ON its breast,
Right onward towards the crimson glow
The radiant Story Of the West
Our oars lay idlc, while our boat
SLOW glidcd down the plncid stream;
Softly wn spoke, as though we feared
To break tho magic Of the dream.
The breeze from DER the yihe-clad hills,
That gently swept our boat along
Bore to our ears from OF the shore
Tho sound Of peasants evening song.
In ftul snatchcs came the sound,
OFT died in wailing chords the strain;
Now womon's voices, true aud clear,
Took up once more the sweet refrain.
So passed. the time, and sunsets flush
Had slowly faded into night;
And gliding river, bank, and tower,
Themoon arose with siiyery light.
The last faint echo Of the song
He'd thCd away and naught was heard
Save the uint ripple of the waves,
By southern breezes gently stirred.
The silence lay ON all around,
And silence fell upon us twain.
Until I spoke; and meath the stars
Loves tale was whispered once again.
Long years has passed since then, yet oft
Mem'ry brings back that golden time;
And once again in blissful dream,
Ny love and iloat down the Rhine.

ALL of us are used to roast and boil
ed turkey, but steamed turkey is more
of novelty, while it is also most de-
licious dish. Cleanse the fowl thor
oughly, then rub pepper and salt well
mixed into the inside of it, Fill up the
body with oysters mixed with bread
crums Sew up all the apertures; lay
the turkey in large steamer and place
over a kettle of boiling water, cover
closely and steam thoroughly for two
hours and half Now take it up; set
the platter in warm place, and turn
whatever gravy there isin the steamer,
straining it first into the oyster sauce
which you have prepared in the follow
ing manner:
Take a pint of oysters, turn pint of
boiling water over them in a culender.
Put the liquor ON to boil, skim off what
ever rises to the top. Thicken it with a
tablespoonful of -four rubbed into two
tablespoonfuls of butter; season well
with pepper and salt. Add two or
three tablespoonfuls Of cream OF milk TO
whiten it; and pour it over the turkey
and platter; serve boiling hot. This
sauce must be made while the turkey is
still in the steamer, so that it can be
poured over the turkey as soon as il is
taken mp.

Potatoes Of large size are said to be
produced by a monk in France by cut
ting two side-shoots from each stalk
when it is five to seven inches high and
setting them i'll good, rich, mellow gar
den soil In few days they send out
roots and form tubers about as earlyand
in as large quantities as the original
stalk, while the latter does not seem to
be injured by the moderate pruning.
Our monkigh friend has discovered
nothing new, but it may be worth re-
membering when one has a rare kind
that he wishes TO make the most of.
Many of our nurserymen practice the
same way with new potatoes When
the Early Goodrich and the Early Rose
were first introduced some of the New
England nruserymen propagated pota-
toes from the tops to such an extent that
several hundreds Of bushels were raised
in a single season from a few original
potatoes. One grower raised the plants
under glass all winter. Every time a
new growth appeared it was taken off as
IA cutting and soon made plant. He
had thus thousands of plants by the
spring, each in a small pot, and these
set out in the open ground planted an
enormous tract of land. We do not re-
member exactly, but we believe as much
as hundred bushels of potatoes came
in this way from half dozen potatoes
inside of twelve months. - Forney's
