THE London Garden says: "In a
nursery at Clapton where thousands of
plants are annually struck from pipinRs.
Il is an established rule never to prepare
the cuttings, or pipings as they are termed,
with knife. The plan adopted, accord.
ing TO Mr.. Casey, is TO take hold of the top
Of the grass and draw it gently until
II breaks, which it will do at one of the
joints; cuttings thus treated are found to
root much better than those made with a
knife, which, unless very sharp and skill.
fully used, bruises the cuttings"
THE abundant presence of salt in the
intestinal canal is hostile to almost all in
testinal parasites; but il is only hostile to
parasitic worms which it cannot immedi-
ately reach, because it gives a vigor to
the health that is unfavorable to their de-
velopment and existence within the body
If, instead of getting food seasoned with
salt, as well us having the salt.cellar at
table to take rs many pinches from as we
may wish for, we had to get our salt by
licking piece of rock-salt, and if, more
over, there were several others behind us
who were impatiently pushing us out of
the way in order to have their turn at the
piece OF rock-salt, we think it is very like
ly that we should not get salt enough for
our health, and that many more of us
would suffer from worms than do now

How TO EXTINGUIsH LAMPS WITH
CHIMNEYs.-A correspondent of the En-.

tally across the top of the funnel, when
the light will not only be extinguished,
but there will be no after-smoke-the for
merly-ignited wick will be extinguished
by its own carbonic acid gas. On leaving
my office at night l thus turn up the fam
ing wick and, with a grateful gladness
that the desk labors of the day land night
are over, give side wave of the hat past
the chimney, which draws up the flame
from contact with the wick and the light
is gone, and with no after-smell. This
cannot be too widely circulated, as read
in the Times the other day that lady lost
her life by blowing dO'on the chimney and
thus causing an explosion"
ELASTIC VARNIsH FOR LADIES' Shoes
Three pounds of rain water are placed in
a pot over the fire, and when well boiling
there are added four ounces of white pull
verified wax, an ounce of clear, trans
parent glue in small pieces, two ounces of
pulvcrized gum Senegal, two ounces of
white soap scraped fine, two ounces of
brown pulverized sugar; the ingredients
are placed in one by one, and every time
stirred up; it is well to take the pot from
the fire every time substance is added,
to prevent boiling over; when all isadded,
the pot is removed from the fire; when
sufficiently cooled, three ounces ofalcohol
are added, and finally three ounces of fine
Frankfort black, well incorporated by
continued stirring. This varnish is put
on the leather with brush, and is very
valuable for boots and shoes, as it can be
afterward polished with a large brush
like ordinary shoe-blacking, shows high
polish, and does not soil the clothing
