During several visits to Europe, have be-
come acquainted with many Russians and Ger

the methods OF tanning leather in Russia, and
also have conyersed with Gov. Curtin. late

Even the fire-damp which escapes from
coal mines arises from the slow decompo-
sition OF coal at a temperature but little
above that OF the atmosphere, but under

liability OF wet coal to mischievous results
under such circumstances may be appre-

from this cause doubtless many missing

Here is another way to prevent water
from getting through shoes. The compo-
sition also makes good harness dressing.
Take neatsfoOt oil, one and half pints !;
bees-wax one ounce, spirits of turpentine
four ounces; snd stir until cold. Spread
and rub this composition over the leather
while it is damp; leather will absorb oil
and grease better when damp than when
dry. For the soles, take pine tar and rub
it in before the fire until the soles will ab-
sorb no more. Three or four applications

WATERING PoULTRY-It is believed of
the writer that many OF the diseases incl
dent to poultry are due to neglect in pro-
viding them with pure water; particularly
do | believe such to be the case, In the ma
jority of instances where chicken cholera
prevails. The omission to furnish fowls
with suitable drinking water is one of the
worst features ofcruelty to animals. 1t is
neglect that is decidedly adverse to sue
cess, hence tends to diminish individual
fancy for fowls, and works detriment to
poultry interests. Those whom We occas-
sionally hear say that there is no profit in
poultry" are not qualified to have the man.

tions may be classed with the thriftless and
neglected parties who keep fowls that get

HOUSEHOLD.
Household Economy.

Many ladies are troubled with cold feet,
. source of great discomfort, as well as
being bad for the general health. If such
will adopt cloth shoes, not lasting, but
good wooden cloth, made with moderately
thick sole, low heel, and tipped at heel
and toe with leather, they will find them
much warmer than an all leather boot,
while they look quite as well. Some may
object that they will not do for sloppy
weather, but nearly every lady wears rub
bers in very sloppy weather, no matter
what her boots are made Of. Let those
who are sufferers from chilblains try the
change; speak from my own experience,
l would not wear q hard, cold, glossy
leather boot in the winter time Except no
others could be had) for anything!
Flannel clothing Of bright scarlet will
become dark and discolored after frequent
washing; to restore, put it through bath
of calculated water; either few drops of
sulphuric acid, or tartaric acid dissolved
until the water tastes sour. Even strong
vinegar mixed with the water has good
effect on blue fannels.
To those who do not have soft soap
would say, keep an old jar or tin, and
chip all the bits of hard soap into it, as
they become worn tho small for the hand,
cover with water, and it is always dis
solved ready for the washboiler.
In securing coffee pots, small tin pals,
ETC., if the vessel be filled with hot water,
it will be polished on the outside with
half the labor that it requires when cold.

An Ocean Of Ice.

A Newfoundland letter says: There is
no record of such ice-felds as have been
sliding past our shores this season.
The scaling captains report the ice in
many instances twenty feet in thickness,
and hard as floating masses of granite.
Had the season been q stormy one this ice
would have played sad havoc among our
feet. From the 9Th of January, when
the ice first appeared here, till the 18th of
May twas never out Of sight--a huge
river of ice slowly floating past. Ships
that came through it reported it to be
two hundred miles In breadth. Its length
is unknown; but in all probability it ex-
tended from Bafiin's Bay to the Gulf
Stream, distance of / 500 or 2,0OO miles.
The intense cold of this winter seems to
have converted the whole surface Of the
sea along Greenland into ice fields, and
no sooner was one borne away on the
bosom of the Arctic current than another
one was formed. One would suppose
that such an enormous ice delivery would
temporarily lower the temperature of the
Gulf Stream itself and give us a cold
summer. The first two outward bound
mail steamers from Liverpool were un-
able to enter the port of St. Louis owing
to the ice, and had to run on to Halifax
and the same is true of the first two home
ward bound steamers. The third outward
bound mail steamer, by which this letter
should be conveyed, is overdue and may
also have passed us by. The .'oldcst in
habitant" remembers no such season as
this.

The Treasury Vaults.

A correspondent of the Inter Ocean,
writing about the ~, 600 robbery in the
Treasurer's' Office, says: suppose one
result of the disturbance will be the total
exclusion of visitors from the vault, for
clerks connected with the vault and cash
room very justly refuse to become respon-
sible for money # procession of strangers
passes in and out daily. All the cash
room lying behind the counter is sup
posed to be strictly private; even mes
sengcrs are excluded, and the vault is in
tended to be still more carefully guarded ;
but the custom prevails of admitting peo-
pie by card from the Secretary Of the
Treasury, to the infinite annoyance Of the
clerks and the disappointment Of the
visitors. For there is absolutely nothing
to see in the vault; there isn't one cent
visible: true, you know that in these de-
mure brown envelopes and monotonous
yellow boxes, piled tier above tier on
their iron shelves, are millions and mil
lions of dollars, aud the gentleman who,
with Christian resignation, does the hon.
ors OF the gloomy spot, smiably allows
you to think that some coin he empties
out of canvas bag Con an average twelve
times day. is the 'Jeff Davis gold
the gold that was captured on JEFF; but
between you and me the original "Jeff
Davis gold" was melted up long time
ago. All say the same thing when they
get in there; ooh! my! where's the
money!" And then they hold $1,000
in coin and they say: "Oh! amt it awful
heavy" and then they hold 81 ,OO0, 900 in
paper and they say: "Ohi amt it awful
light, just do feel tn and then the pa
tient cicerone lets them take up a $15,-
10000 or $20, 00O, 900 package of un-
signed certificates, and then they say:
'sOh! let's run away with itr' and then
they go on their way rejoicing and the
much-abused clerk in charge locks up
coin and currency and tries to do some
work. Occasionally a tourist makes nm
original remark. I remember one very
gorgeously -appareled bride (they were
nearly all brides who only spoke once
while she was there, and then she looked
all round and above her and said: Don't
this look like a pawnbroker's shop2" We
didn't ask her how she knew. ~
|. During Inauguration week visitors
trooped in at the rate Of 500 a day. AL
work had to be suspended during the,
regular Office hours, They were admitted
eight at . time, and the clerks relieved
each other showing the "Jeff Davis gold!"
and the other lions. A messenger who
came with many Of the parties was gen.
tleman Of great Auency of speech, and l
think impaired a great deal of interesting,
if not original information to the fortu-
nate hundreds he escorted.

The CULTIVATION or FLowEns.-In
addition to the pleasure that may be de-
rived from Horticulture, the sanitary value
Of flowers and plants Is feature Vt the
subject 50 important as to call for special
mention. 1t was known many years ago
that ozone is one Of the forms In which
oxygen exists in the air, and that il pos
sesses extraordinary powers Is an oxidant,
disinfectsnt, and deod0rizer. Now, one
Of the most important in lats discoveries
in chemistry Is that made by Prof. Mon
tOgaxza, of Pavia, to the effect that oxone
is generated in immense quantities by all
plants and flowers possessing green leaves
and aromatic odors. Hyacinths, migno-
nette, heliotrope, lemons, mint, lavender,
narcissus, cherry, laurel and the like, all
throw of ozone largely I'm exposure to the
suns rays; and 20 powerful is this great
atmospheric purifier, that it is the belief
of chemists that whole districts can be
redeemed from the deadly malaria which
infests them by simply covering them
with aromatic VEGETATION. The bearing
Of this upon flower culture in our large
cities is also very important. Expert
ments have proved that the cir VI . city
contains less ozone than that of the sur
rounding country, the thickly Inhabited
parts of the city less than the more sparse
y built or than the parks and open
squares. Plants and flowers and green
trees can alone restore the balance; 80 that

thing of beauty while it lasts, but has
direct and beneficial influence upon the
health of the neighborhood in which it is

Last Monday evening, rs the through

men came ON board and seated themselves
ia one of the coaches. They soon entered
into conversation with several Of the pas
sengers and finally produced pack of
cards, from which they selected three
One Of the men, by the dexterity with
which he threw the cards about on the
seat before him, attracted the attention
of George Haskins, who lives fourteen
miles west of Rome, New York. Mr..
Haskins watched the strangers maneuver
with the cards with much interest, and
when wager was finally offered by one
of the men that Haskins could not de-
tect designated card, and Haskins peck
eted the stakes, he having pointed out the
right card, that gentleman was in high
glee. This occurred somewhere between
Lake aud Michigan City. The interest
ing game was continued until the train
reached Michigan City, Haskins winning
small sums and losing larger ones alter
nately, when the strangers and their cards
suddenly disappeared with go Of the Ro-
mans money. Mr.. Johnson, sbrake-
man, who was formerly member Of the
Metropolitan Police, Of this city, and
others ON the train had repeatedly warned
Haskins against the strangers, but he re-
piled that he had travelled and knew whaI
he was about. The gamblers very

OxTAEAL DRINK is highly recommended

we bad buckets Of cold water with oat-

ing" A Scottish medical journal says
also of oatmeal, that, in its raw state,
when mixed with water, it is becoming .
favorite dish. The brose of "Auld Scot
landr is becoming favorite dish--and
we are glad to note this, because We be-
Iieve it to be healthy and muscle forming
commodity-with the hunters and trap
pers of the West, who are substituting
oatmeal in this form for parched Indian
corn The same brawny fellows, whose
powers of endurance are proverbial,
whose scorn of fatigue is known to all
readers of natural history, have found out
that very acceptable drink is made by
putting about two teaspoonfuls of oat-
meal to tumbler of water. This they
the hunters and trappers-aver to be the

nourishing, stimulating and satisfying.
It is good substitute for tea, coffee, OF
