The news comes from California of
the discovery of mine of mineral soap,
which can be used for all the purposes
to which manufactured soaps are appli-
cable. The discoverer found it when
prospecting for coal, and used it in his
family year before announcing it. 1t
is now, however, taken up by CON-
pany, and will be brought into com.
merce. The mine, which is situated in
a somewhat inaccessible part of the coast,
is in close vicinity to a stream, and it
was from the fact that pieces of stone
which fellinto the stream were observed
TO melt away that the properties of it
became known. The soap is described
as marble or part colored like CASTLE
soap, and the extent of the mine is in
the neighborhood of slate-stone and
sandstone, and near it mountain of
gypsum, which appears to have been
turned up on its edge. The whole
country around bears evidence of vol
canic action, and the mountains near
appear to have been once under the sea,
as shells and other marine products
abound on the highest points.

The Switzerland OF America.

Manitou Glen, lying at the mouth of
of Ute Pass, is one of the loveliest spots
eyes ever looked upon, and added to its
beauty of foliage and streams is a gran
deur of surroundings that the widest
and grandest of Switzerland's gems
cannot surpass, if indeed equal. There
is no more fascinating description of
this earthly paradise than Wheeler's,
who, after declaring that, in pictorial
interest, Manitou Glen is more varied
than anything the Swiss have to offer,
continues: ''The volcanic agency has
marred the primitive colors ofthe earth
so as to defy description; the red sand
stone porphyry, the cleaning granite,
against which the red sandstone stands
out in curious relief; the moss-grown
boulders, the splendid streams of red
oxide and ochrous earth, make an en-
semJle of pigments that is wonderfully
fascinating. All these hues are softened
and supplemented by the varying tints
of luxurious vegetation. The Foun-
tain Creek comes tunefully down the
pass, through chasms and over preci-
pices. Pinyon, pine, cedar, birch and
hemlock shade the road in overhanging
groves, and mark the timber line upon
the heights of a thousand feet above
us. s.''-Rocky Mountain Tourist.

Female Dress i'm Ancient Times

In the wardrobe of a Hebrew lady,
the most splendid article of clothing
was the turban, for those who could af-
ford it. The other people had to be
satisfied with winding a piece of cloth
round their head, and fixing it as well
as they could. Turbans are of various
colors; and wound in different ways !;
some of them are like high tower.
Shoes and stockings were fastened with
two latchets. The ladies, who carried
luxury into every department, and who
are supposed, even to the present time,
TO be far from Indifferent to a nice, neat
boot, or TO elegant slippers, had their
shoes, or rather their sandals, and their
latchets made of cOlored leather; dark
blue, violet and purple were favorite
cOlOrs. The ankles were decorated with
bracelets of gold, or dainty silver chains
and rings, with tiny silver bells. Hair
nets and head bands were in great re-
quest. The latter were made of gold or
silver, and worn under the net, extend
ing from one ear to the other. Earrings
were much thought of; we are told of
some that weighed thousand seven
hundred shekels of gold, and were so
large that a man could easily put his
hand through them. Some of the wo-
men wore several rings with little bells
attached to them. They were generally
made of horn or of silver. But the most
popular ring was the nose-ring. The
left nostril was pierced for the purpose,
and a ring made OF ivory or metal put
through it. Bracelets were favorite or
naments, and were generally worn on
the right arm. Some of them were ex-
ceedingly large, so that they reached up
to the elbow. Rings on the fingers were
worn, chains of fine gold, or strings of
pearl, with little silver balls, or small
tinkling bells, were worn round the

The PecuIIarifies sOfMemory.

The loss of recollection which gener-
ally follows upon stunning is well
known phenomenon; but there are not
wanting instances of an abnormal rec
objection being evoked by extraordi-
nary circumstances. DIR. AbercrOmbie
relates the case of a man brought into
st. Thomas Hospital in a state of stu
por from an injury of the head. When
partially recovered he spoke Welsh, a
language which, before the accident, he
had entirely forgotten from long des-
uetude; bnt when he had quite recov-
cred, he again completely forgot his
Welsh, and got back his knowledge of
English. Another case is even more
remarkable. \ boy at the age of four
suffered fracture of the skull. and was
trepanned while in a state of complete
stupOr. After his recovery he retained
no recollection either of the accident
or the operation; but at the age of tif
teen during the delirium of a fever, he
gave "an account of the operation, and
the persons who were present at it,
with a correct description of their dress
and other minute particulars"

ENtinct New ENGLAND Industries.

Half a century ago, bellows making
was a thriving trade. Every house had
it, pair of bellows. and in every well
furnished mansion there was hung a
pair by the side of every fireplace.
Ipswich, in Massachusetts, acquired
quite notOriety all over New England
for the elegant and substantial articles
of the kind produced. But as stoves
took the places, and a coal was subSti-
tuted for wood, the demand for bellows
diminished until the business as sepa-
rate trade quite died out. The same j.
true of flint cutting. Flints were once
necessary, not only for firearms, but
for finder boxes, and a tinder box was
as necessary for every house as grid
iron or skillet. Every one who looks to
childhood of forty odd years ago must
remember the cold winter mornings.

II is well known that linseed oil,
boiled until has lost five per cent, of its
weight, assumes the appearance or con-
dition of molasses, and when the loss is
twelve per cent. it changes into a mass
strongly resembling caoutchouc. To
test the drying properties of oils boiled
for various lengths of time, Nj. Sacc
states that he applied them to deal
board; the result was that the oil which
had been boiled for the space of ten
minutes became a fine, transparent
varnish in twenty-fOur hours, that
which had the consistency of molasses
was not resinIlied in fifteen days, and
that boiled to the consistency of caout-
chouc remains unaltered. From this it
would appear that the drying property
is not improved by concentration of
the oil.

she said "she didn't" so she sat in the
kitchen aud saw me working. Now,
as-she- had come unlocked for, l was
Obliged to think what dainty thing
could get up out of my resources. The
day before had made pies, and having
some crust left l packed it away in a
teacup with a small plate over the top,
and put it in my flour barrel. now
brought it out and began to make some
of 'Cousin Mary's Squash Pie.''
"Where in the world" said she, ssdid
you get that crust? l didn't see you
making any,"
L told her.
"Now, that's just like you; nobody
but you would ever have thought of it.
Do you always keeppie crust on hand ?'
NO." said |, 81 only keep it two or
three days at time, i'm summer not
more than one. 1t is not so nice for an
upper crust, because it gets little
dark; but just as good for under crust
as at first. Besides, l always use a
different kind of crust for the soft pies !;
want something that will cook brown
in slow oven."
'.How is that?" said she; 81 don't
understand"
sWhy, my dear, you know that a
squash pie must cook rather slowly TO
bring it to that creamy, delicate state
so much admired; whereas, rich pastry
must have an oven as hot as you can
get it, to make it light and puffy; so
the two things are not compatible. /
always use less shortening, and a small
portion of soda and cream tartar for an
under crust, and you will never see
half-baked crust left on my table,"
"1'll make a note Of that. Now, what
are you going to do?'
L brought out my omlette pan. 1t is
made of iron, but as smooth as glass.

RAsPBERRIEs FROM CUTTNGs.--The
following is the substance OF rhe direc-
tiOns for raising raspberries from cut
tings of the roots, given by Mr.. Parry,
which may be adopted when rapid
propagation is needed, or large quanti-
ties required: In the autumn after the
leaves have fallen, dig up the plants
with all the roots that can be secured.
Cut the roots into pieces. about two
inches long, and pack them in a box
with damp moss, or clean, coarse sand,
or damp sawdusU. The bottom of the
box is TO be sprinkled with this ma
terial, and then alternating layers of
this and the cuttings fill the box. Put
this box in a cellar. The cuttings must
not be allowed to become dry, although
a slight moisture is sufficient. In a few
weeks the cuttings will have formed
buds and a callus. They are then set
out in the open ground.

kEEPING CARPETS AND FURNITURE
Carpets and furniture can be entirely
protected from moth by care, cleanli-
ness and turpentine. Nice carpets
should be well beaten to remove dust
and moth; papers wet with spirits of
turpentine should be placed over the
seats and backs of stuffed furniture and
the whole sewed up in cloth. The most
delicate material will not be injured by
applying turpentine in this way. For
carpets a free use of tobacco leaf or
stems is desirable. Papers dipped in
turpentine here and there will do their
share, and for outside packing each
carpet should be sewed in burlap.
