RESTORING DAMAGED VELvET.-The
Moniteuc de Ia Sulud published the fol-
lowing method for restoring velvet to
its original condition. 1t is we'll known
that when velvet has been wet not only
its appearance is spoiled, but it becomes
hard and knotty. To restore its original
softness it must be thoroughly dampened
on the wrong side, and then held over a
very hot iron, care being taken not to
let it touch the latter. In short time
the velvet becomes as it were new again.
The theory of this is very simple. The
heat of the iron evaporates the water
through the tissue and forces the vapor
out at the upper side; this vapor passing
between the different fibres, separates
those which adhere together in hard
punches. If the velvet were ironed after
damping, an exactly opposite result
would be obtained. 1t is therefore nee
essary that the substance should not
come in contact with the heated iron.

ALKALI FOR FRUIT TREEs.-Our far
mers and fruit growers have ignored, or
rather have been ignorant of the import
ance of wood ashes as vegetable stimu.
liant, and as the lead 'ng constituents of
plants. Even coal ashes, now thrown
away as useless, have been shown by ex-
pertinent and analysis, to possess fair
share of alkaline value. According to
our observation, if the practice of put
ting mixture of coal and wood ashes
around the stem of vine and fruit trees,
particularly early in the spring, were
followed as general rule, our crops Of
apples, grapes, peaches, etc, would be
greatly benefited in both quantity and
quality american.

Whipping Horses Dangerous.

would caution those who train horses
or use them, upon another point, viz !:
that of exciting the i'll will of the animal.
Many think they are doing finely and
are proud of their success in horse
training, by means of severe whipping or
otherwise rousing and stimulating the
passions, and then, from necessity, crush
ing the will through which resistance is
prompted. No mistake can be greater
than this, and there is nothing that SO
fully exhibits the ability, judgment and
skill of the real horseman as the care
displayed in winning instead of repelling
the action of the mind. Although
it may be necessary to use the whip
sometimes it should be always ap-
piled judiciously, and great care should
be taken not to arouse the will to obsti-
macy. The legitimate and proper use of
the whip Is calculated to operate on the
sense of fear almost entirely. The affec-
tionate and better nature must be ap-
pealed to in training horse, as we'll as in
training child. A reproof given may
be intended for the good of child but if
only the passions are excited, the effect
is depraving and injurious. This is a
vital principle, and can be disregarded
in the management of sensitive and
courageous horses only at the risk of
spelling them. l have known many hor-
ses of gentle character to be spoiled by
whipping once, and one horse that was
made vicious by being struck with a
whip while standing in his stall.-Pro-
fessor FopIer.

WALKs.-How to make walks about
the house hard without much cost is a
question which we have often asked our
selves without ever receiving satisfac-
tory reply. Coal ashes, sand, such as is
used for mortar, and clay in the proper
ton of rather more sand than coal ashes
the difference made up with the clay
all well mixed together and laid at
least four inches deep, will become very
compact and hard. Macadamized paths
are to be recommended in point of
cheapness. Collect all the stones you
can. Place the large in the bottom and
fill in with the smaller ones, covering as
above, with sand. ashes and q little clay.

Export Of Hrain.

The Boston Aduatiscr saws there never
has been time when the export of grain
from that port was 50 large as at present.
One firm is loading nine vessels with
corn, comprising two hundred and thirty
thousand bushels, for Europe and the
total amount of corn being loaded for the
foreign market is four hundred thousand
bushels. A vessel has been recently
chartered to load with a through freight
of oats from the West, and there is quite
q brisk demand for corn on foreign &C.
count. At all the principal Atlantic
ports lively activity in grain exports
prevails, and the fact is attributable by
some to the apprehension Of war in Eu-
rope.

The Best Evidence.

The following letter from the Rev. +. s. Best,
Pastor of the NJ. +. Church, Natick, Mass, will
be read with interest by many physicians; also
the son of the Rev. Z. 5. Best. No person can
doubt this testimony, AS there Is no doubt about
the curative power Of VEGETINE.
NATICK, MASS, Jan /, 1873.
Mr. II. X. STEVENS:
Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your VEGETINE medicine Of the greatest VAL
ue We feel assured that it has been the mems
of saving our sons life. He is now seventeen
years of age; the last two years he has suffered
from necrosis of his leg, caused by scrofulOas
affection, and was SO far reduced that nearly all
who saw him thought his recovery impossible.
A council of able physicians could give us but the
flintest hope of his ever rallying; two of the
number declaring that he was beyond the reach
of human remedies, that even amputation could
not save him rs he had not vig0r enough TO en-
dure the operation. just then We commenced
giving him VEGETINE and from that time to
the present he has been continuously improving
lie has lately resumed studies, thrown away his
crutches and cane, and walks about cheerfully
and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where his limb was lanced, we have the
fullest confidence that in little time he will be
perfectly cured.

ETINE, but lately uses but little, as he declares

FArrrNma An1xA1s.-A very COM

Patching ANIMALs.-A very com
mon error among farmers, which need
correction is the opinion that animals
may be fattened in . few weeks, and
fitted for market by heavy feeding, or
as it is termed, by pushing. Many far
mers do not think of beginning to fatteu
their hogs and cattle for early winter
market until autumn has actually com.
menced. Their food is then suddenly
changed, and they are dosed with large
quantities of grain or neal This sud-
den change often deranges the system,
and it is frequently some time before
they recover from it. From observation
and inquiry we find that the most sue
cessful managers adopt a very different
course. They feed moderately, with
great regularity, and for longer period.
The most successful pork-raiser that we
have met with commences the fattening
of his swine for the winter market early
in the preceding spring. In fact, he
keeps his young swine in good growing
condition through the winter. He be-
gins moderately, and increases the
amount gradually, never placing before
the animal more than it will freely eat.
With this treatment and strict attention
to the comfort and cleanliness of the
animal, his spring pigs at ten months
usually exceed three hundred pounds,
and have sometimes gone as high as four
hundred and fifty pounds; and pigs
over reach a weight of five or
six hundred. The corn which is ground
and scalded before feeding, nets him, on
an average, not less than one dollar per
bushel when the market price of pork is
i've cents per pound.

FOR THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
A Gratifying Incident.

The Warm Springs and Windy Cove churches
are united under one pastor, Rev Geo. L. Browp,
Last July, a large delegation from the Warm
Spring congregation visited the manse ea,h one
leaving some memento of esteem.
On Thursday evening, the 10Th inst, the pastor
and his wife were standing on their porch about
dusk, watching heavily laden two horse wagon
slowly dragging through the mud Ga reaching
the manse the wagon stopped, and the pastor vas
surprised and rejoiced to lad that the load, con
ssting of barrels of ur, hams Of bacon, lard, but
ter potatoes, canned fruit, and many other things
good and valuable, was liberal donation from his
congregation at Windy Cove.
Such tokens Of remembrance strongly cement
the tie that binds pastor aud people together, and
cause the pastors heart to overt W with love and
gratitude to the people who thus manifest their es
TEEN for him and his services. He is especially
grateful to the Giver of every good and perfect gf
for this indication Of the Divine blessing resting
upon the people. B

not allow Bishop Quintard to administer
Confirmation in any church within his juris
diction. What pity Have the Ameri-
can Prelates omitted anything which the most
obsequiOus spirit could suggest to cOnciliste
those of the Mother Church p Some OF
US read every word in the proceedings of the
Pan-Anglican Council few years ago.
Some of Our Bishops were so caught up,
and came back so "exalted above measure, ="
as to be hardly competent to tell whether
they were " in the body or out of the body"
One of them called himself "LoRD Bishop :"
or perhaps addressed another as such
which amounts to the same thing. And it
would seem as if there was to be no end to
tie plasterings and white washings given to
al establishment which, whatever good be-
longs to it, all the world knows to be full
Of dead mems bones"
And now, after all this, Bishop Quintard
cannot administer confirmation in any church
under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Lon

THE UNKINDEST CUT.

Bishop Quintard, from Tennessee, is in
England seeking benefactions for the Epis-
copal University of the South. 1t is stated
that he was requested by the Incumbent OF
one of the parish churches to administer the
rite of Confirmation to some children of that
church. But this could not be legally done
without the consent of the Bishop CT LoudOn
which it was taken for granted would be
readily given. 1t was, however, CURLY re-
fused. And therein was bitter dose.
These High Church Episcopalian Bishops,
when compared in number With the "g1odly
company" Of Presbyterian, Methodist and
Baptist ministers in this country, seem to be
only 4" as the small dust of the balance. -
Or if the comparison be made as to learning
and ability, it is by no means clear to the
public view that they are "Pri@i inter
parss. Yet to see how sanc:imoniously (as
for example, in their two last General Con-
vantiOns) they gather their cfi ial robes
around them, and sever their little c0mmun
ion from fellowship with the great body Of
Christians in the land-we hardly know
whereuntO it should be hkened. So far as
it is a wound given to the body of Christ, ii
is a cause for grief. In other respects it is
beneficial, helping sensible Christian stu
dents to many hearty laugh, and thereby
promoting a healthy digestion. The proela-
nations of Chinese Mandarins, eudipg with
50 Trens5ls at this ?" and these gaseous as
sumptiOns of High Church Prelatists, ought
to be kept always on hand as a specific
against dyspepsia, liver complaints, hyp-
ochOndria, and such ike ill, that flesh is
heir to.
But this is not exactly what We are now
