and stone glaring from the face of the
mountains in every direction, but by
the palpable improvement in the
houses and fences.
Whenever a new house, or fresh
paint comes in sight, it is evidence
that mica has been coming out OF the
mountain sides near by. The price OF
the mineral is about one to five dollars
per pound, according to size, from
about 8 inches square TO b or 3. But
for the enormous waste IN cutting and
culling. the markets of the world
would long since have been glutted.
In fact, only about One-tenth to one
twentieth of the crude article, as 1T
comes from the mine, Is marketable !;
/. e. 5 to 10 pounds out of a hundred.
Much of it is too small. or IS scanned
and f1awed another large proportion
of it is smoked dixie smoked glass; and
specked, and in a great deal of 1t, es-
peciallv in some mines. the cleavage
is SO imperfect, that out Of ierge sheets
of 8 to IL inches only the smallest pat
terms a be cut. This is called A.
mica. from the peculiar angular mark
ings. which characterize this variety
of CRYSTALS, AS a consequence OF this
enormous waste. huge heaps Of refuse,
thousands of tons, are accumulated
about the ''glass house." which paten-
tees have hitherto in vain sought to
utilize. 1t has been ground fine and
used in the manufacture Of dynamite.
A more recent patent uses it in max
ing iron castings. A third adopts it as
an ornamental busting on painted sur
faces. But the problem is not yet
solved. and q fortune awaits the lucky
solver.
The price of mica has suffered a de-
cline, in consequence of the supply
outrunniug the demand. For several
years, Mitchell and Yancey were the
largest producers. had almost a mo-
nopoly in fact. Lately Macon and
Jackson are ahead. and mining has
largely diminished in the former cOun-
ties. But as the mines have been
hitherto worked in a very rude and
desultory, and therefore expensive
way, and for the most part, without
any knowledge of the principles of
mining, there is no good reason why,
with better methods of working, this
industry shall not become permanent
ly established. and be even more pro-
fitable than formerly. For in fact, not
n vein in ten has yet beer opened at
all. and the business is only in its in
fancy. W. G. K.

Portfolio.

1t is an axiom in natural philosophy
that the contents of any given recep-
tacle must be smaller than the recep-
tacle. No juggler ever seemed to defy
this physical law more amazingly than
Robert Houdin. His Fantastic port
folio" has never been surpassed.
though its principles are well known
now to every mOuntebank. HOudin's
quiekness of hand was so wonderful,
his flow of small-talk so unceasing,
that he could force your attention in
any direction he chose, and in this
way make you look at one thing al
though you had made up your mind
that, this time, you would certainly
keep your eyes fixed on another. He
came upon his little stage carrying
usual large flat portfolio in which
sketches and engravings are kept. He
placed this portfolio on a sort of camp
stool by the foot-lights, and out of this
flat portfolio, barely an inch thick, he
took the following objects, closing the
portfolio together with a slam, to show
its thin dimensions, after the with
draWal of each article. To m
aIe: first, seV era1 engravIngs; secon
two beautiful bOnnets, made of
black velvet and trimmed with a long
white feather, the other pink satin,
with a wreath of flowers on it. Gn
Houdin's time ladies' bonnets were
worn extremely large, with capes,
long strings, and vOluminous face
trimming, which, of course, added to
the wonder of this trick.) Thirdly, he
took out four live doves; fourthly,
three large brass sa~uce-pans, one full
of water, the second of beans, the
third of fire and flames; filthy, a bird
cage, in which canaries were jumping
about on perches; sixthly, a boy about
six years old.-Harper's MngDzine.

Paper.

A correspondent asks what ingre-
dientS are now used in the manufac-
ture of paper. A list of the materials
would fill a column Of our journal.
The basis Of paper material is old rags,
cotton or linen, but it is also made of
wood, straw, kaolin and fibrous vege-
tables. The works of the Marquis de
Vilette, published in London in 1886,
are printed on paper made Of marsh
mallOw; and at the end are specimens,
in single leaves, of paper made of the
nettle, hops, moss, reed, cOnch grass.
elm, lime-tree, poplar, oak, burdock,
thistle, etc.
Two Spanish gentlemen, of Sala-
manca, have just obtained a patent in
Spain for making writing paper in
combustible. The experiments are
said to have been very satisfactory.
The paper will not burn no matter
what may be the intensity of the heat
applied. A single sheet submitted to
the direct action of a flame will car
bonize but does not take fire. If a
roll of prepared paper is placed in the
hottest fire the outside leaves will car
bOnize the edges for a short depth, but
the interior remains unaltered, the
writing or printing being perfectly
legible. The cheapness of the prepa-
ration makes it accessible to every
purpose in which paper is used.

The Greenhouse .

All plants of tender nature should
now be IN the house. and arranged for
the WINTER On arranging plants on
the greenhouse stage considerable
taste IS required to make them show
to the best advantage at the same
time bearing in mind TO place the diff
ferent kinds in the most suitable posi-
ton for them. Shade loving plants
such as aZaieaS and camellias should
be placed on the north or shady side
of the stage, and bouvardias, roses and
similar Towering plants on the side
most exposed to the sun. All shading
material should now be dispensed
with if whitewash has been used and
still remains thick on the glass, the
first firm frost will soften it So that a
rub with a whitewash brush or a piece
of cloth fastened on the end of a pole,
and then a good Swinging with water,
Will remove the most of 1t. some eo-
pie use potash with the water tor

BILE.
Deutzia 9rdcilis and AstaIbd JdpOni-
ca, required for forcing during winter,
should now be lifted and potted; put
ting them into as small pots as the
size of their roots will permit. They
should be kept in a cold frame until
time for bringing them into heat to
force into flower. No two white flow
erlng plants nave we got more suita-
BILE for forcing than the above. The
beautiful foliage and feathery-looking
flowers of the astillba give it a very
attractive appearance for decorating
the window or cutting for boquet pur-
poses. Geraniums wanted for winter
Towering should be shifted into their
Towering pots, and placed in an airy,
warm situation. When kept close,
they grow lanky and soft, producing

Cement is stronger than mortar, but
much more expensive unless near 10
calities where the material of the ce-
ment is found. The proportion of the
hydraulic lime to sand in mortar gen.
orally is one-fifth sometimes in
pointing One-third but if the sand
is course and clean, almost pebbles, as
low as One-tenth is sometimes used.
Mortar is improved by being again
wet and worked after it has set a few
hours or a day. But no amount of the
best cement or mortar can guard
against the power of Jack Frost with
the leverage of a wet bank of earth.
The expansion of water into ice will in
time rack and destroy any wall that
can be made in such a place.

1t is also a favorite remedy orr founder

inferior TO aloes. sulphate of soda, or

l cannot discover hat there has been
any attempt to utilize the alterant eff
fects of salt, except in the treatment
and farcy. 1t would seem, however,
that it might prove useful in some of
the many diseases for which arsenic,
iodine and bromine, and their COM
pounds, are now prescribed, particu-
larly in chronic diseases of the skin (;
and, if not used alone, a liberal allow
ance of it in connection with such
agents could hardly fail 20 prove bene-
fetal!
Finally, as a p~urgative for rumlna-
ting animals, salt is believed by many
to be the most valuable agent at our
command. 1t is more prompt and
powerful than the other saline purga-
tives it produces intense thirst. caus-
ing the animal to drink quantities OF
liquids. and this is of the greatest ben
eft in many of the diseases of these
animals, particularly in impactiOn OF
the stomachs, constipation, &c. Bland
LIQUIDS. such as decOtion of carrots,
whitened with -four, are preferable to
water alone but, when these are not
at hand, water slightly warmed and
whitened with -four answers every
purpose. Under no circumstances
must the animal be deprived of drink
after receiving a purgative dose of
salt for. aside from the cruelty of
such a privation, it would probably
produce unfavorable results. The dose
of salt when given as a purgative is
from one-half to one and One-half
pounds for cattle. and from n to
three ounces for sheep. Instead of
using salt alone as a purgative, it is
advisable to combine it with other
purgative and laxative agents. Thus
a serviceable purgative for a COW may
be made by dissolving three-fourths of
a pound each of salt and EPSON of
Glauber salts, in three quarts of warm
water, to which two ounces OF ginger
and a dose will generally act in about
f zen hours.
