By converting wethers into valuable
rams and ewes, the process may be con-
tinued, if judicious regard be had to all

profit is found in the fact that the fleece
improves in price as it increases in
weight. These figures are said to be

BEAUTIFYINa FINaER-NAILs.-The hn-
ger-nails of fashionable French women
are professionally attended, and this is
a description of the method of opera
ton: First, a sharp instrument cut the
nails and slope them on the side with
point in the centre; then tiny pair Of
pincers were used to pull off all the
pieces of dry skin around the nails,
commonly called by us hangnails; then
a steel file was used to raise up the skin
and push it back so as to show the half
moon on the nail, which is considereda q
part of its beauty; then liquid was
poured over it to bathe it; then dried;
then a red pomade was spread thin and
rubbed off with fine yellow powder,
which caused them to shine. 1t took
about half an hour, and cost the maSni-
fcent sum Of sixty cents. There are
woman nail-doctors in Paris who obtain
as high as 80 visit.

How TO KILL MIcE.-The best way
to reduce the number of field mice is to
place few shocks of corn-stalks in diff
ferent parts of the field, and in each
sheaf put few nubbins of corn. After
a few days turn the shocks over, or take
the sheaves apart, and let cats or dogs
kill the little marauders, or dispatch
them with brush whips. A successful
farmer in the West, when relating his
mode of destroying these field pests,
says: II go through my orchard and
nursery and throw down on the ground
some three or four piles of brush to the
100 trees. This I cover with some hay
or straw; place on the brush a few
ears of corn. In few weeks the mice
will gather in the piles of hay and make
their nests and rear their young. Then
if you have good dog take fork and
lift the pile to one side and destroy all
you can. If you have no dog, take
some corn meal and crackers and mix a
little strychnine with it, and inclose
this in q small box with few augur
holes bored in, and bury this beneath
the brush. The mice will eat it and all
die. This is an effectual remedy, but
care must be taken in using the strych-
nine"

GRAPE-VINEs AT PARIs.-Vineyard-
lists who may have expected to see a
grand show of grape-vines at the forth
coming Paris international Exhibition
for 1878, are likely to be disappointed,
as the Commissioners have issued cir
cular, in which they say that in conse-
quence of the ravages caused by the
Phyloxera and the ease with which it is
propagated, no plant or cutting of any
vine will be admitted within the area of
the Exhibition. This prohibition will
be vigorously enforced. In other re-
spects vine-growers may illustrate their
methods of culture as they think fit-by
description, photographs, drawings,
plans, models, instruments, appliances,
etc.
This prohibition is almost as absurd
as the exclusion of American potatoes
from Europe, because there are iDjuri-
Gus insects which feed on the leaves in
the country in which they are raised,
on this side of the Atlantic ocean.
The absurdity Of excluding vines from
the Exhibition itself, while they may
be brought to the very entrance and
displayed in the streets of Paris, out
side the grounds, is SO apparent that no
one less stupid than "Grand Commits
sioner" could fail to see it. 1t certainly
seems as though an appointment to the
Office of Commissioner at any Of the
great international Expositions was ia
tai to common sense; at least it has been
so in this country, for an exhibit of this
appalling calamity was painfully appar-
ent at our Centennial. ."-Er.

EUCALYPTUS HONEY. Since the intro
duction of the Australian Gum tree into
California, the leaves or bark have been
recommended as a certain specific for
almost every known disease; moreover.
even malaril feyers disappear from u
country soon after the planting of this
most wonderful tree. But it seems
that even all this is not enough, for now
we are to have medicinal honey, gath
cred by California bees from the flowers
of this tree Of life, the famous Eucatyp-
tus gL,bUlls. Alasl it is to be feared
that the TElip'nnUtia and Morats nUld-
cGstlis fever were light spasms compared
with this Blue-gum epidemic.
