NEW FORM OF EDGED TOOLS.

In making tools for mining md agri-
cultural purposes, new coin bination of
iron and steel has been introduced that
is reported to give increased strength,
greater ightness, and greater ease IN
keeping the teols III fepair. A rod OF
plate, consisting of steel core covered
by an iron wrapper or envelope, is first
formed, and out of this the rods OF plates
to be used in making the tools are drawn
and rolled. This compound bar, when
forged into the share ef d pick, hay
fork, or cuttingtool, gives an edge or
point of steel protected by an envelope
of iron. By pairing away the iron, the
steel core is exposed, and may then be
sharpened, reshaped, or repaired cheaply
and quickly.

RAvAGEs OF Noxto1s INSECTS

according to Mr.. G. V. Riley, the State
Entomologist of Missouri. The yearly

less than $50, 600, 900, and it is estimated
that crops to the amount of $50, 600, 900
were destroyed by the locusts in the
Western States in 1874 Mr.. Packard
thinks that commission Of entomolo-
gists should be appointed to study the
habits of noxious insects in the States
and Territories which they infest, and
suggests that it might send out bulletins
IN combination with the Weather Signal
Bureau, forewarning agriculturists what
insect enemies to expect, AMI how best
to guard against them. 1t seems to Us.

HOW TO B-ITHE.

Let me tell you just how to manage
your daily baths. You must have a
bathing mat, which you can procure at
any rubber store. It consists of circu-
lar, thin rubber sheet, four or five feet
In diameter, with the edge turned up two
inches. This, during the day, has been
folded up and thrown aside. When you
want to battle, spread it out, and you
have a tub four feet in diameter, and
just as good as though the sides were
two feet high. This is all the bath-tt1b
you need. Perhaps I ought to say that,
if it is not convenient to purchase one of
those at rubber store, you can make one
with large piece of oil-cloth, by sewing
q rope into its edge.
Of course you must have a wash bowl
with two or three quarts of water. Next
a pair of bathing mittens-sinple bags
loosely fitting Your hands These are
made of the ends of WORKOUT crash or
Turkish towel, though any thick linen
viii do. Now, with a piece of good
soap-it matters little what kind-you
are ready.
You have removed your night-dress.
you are standing upon the center of your
bathing-mat, with your mittens or bags
upon your hands. Seize the soap, make
abundant sosp-suds, and go over every
part of the skin. Rub the soap several
time, that every portion of the skin may
be thoroughly covered with the soap
suds. Now, dipping your hands into the
water, rinse of the soap, although, if it
is winter, and the free use OF water chills
you, you may apply very little water,
and wipe the soap-suds from your skin.
Indeed, with many persons, it is an ex-
cellent practice to leave a certain portion
of the soap on the skin twill continue
the process of neutralizing the oil. 1
have myself derived advantage and sat
isfaction, during the cold season, by the
free use of soap, with very limited guam
titles of water-DiO Le5cjs.

TIE TEETH.

The cause of the deterioration of the
human teeth among civilized races has
been ascribed to lack of sufficient ex-
ercise Of them by grinding hard food.
Barbarous tribes have generally white
and sound teeth, although brush OF
dentifrice never cleanses them. The ex-
PLANTATION is found in their habit of eat
ing so much hard food that it requires a
good deal of mastication. To give the
teeth a sufficient amount of exercise, the
chewing daily of a teaspoonful of raw
wheat is recommended. the REMEDY is
not unpleasant, as many can testify who
have when children been fond of chewing
the sweet grains of wheat.

THE MISTLETOE.

The mistletoe is known to attain a Con-
siderable age. One specimen is noted by

for forty years on an English oak. The
young plants of the ristletoe will live
some time upon the stock of nourish-
ment laid up for them in the seed. A
berry fastened on pane of glass in a
window will soon throw out two little

Thus situated, they will exist for some
months, although not advancing beyond

HOW CLARK's go. n. T." SPOOL COTTON ORIGIN
ATED.
Until within few years. the great difficulty
to be overcome in the introduction Of sewing
machines was the objections made by manu-
facturers and operators to the then popular
threads. These complaints were SO loud and
well founded that the sale of sewing machines
was greatly impeded on account of the impos-
sibility of obtaining thread adapted to their
use. Mr.. George A. Clark, approaching the
difficulty, introduced into the American mar
ket the now famous Clark's so. n. I. Spool
Cotton all numbers being six cord, from 8 TO
100, which met the demand, did away with all
complaints. and long since established its repu-
tation as the est thread in use for sewing
machines or Land sewing. To Mr.. George i.
Clark belongs the credit Of being the first to
supply those fine qualities of Six-Cord Spool
Cotton with which his name is associ-
ated The thread is used and recon-
nIeuded by agents of the Singer, Wheeler 4
Wilson, Grover & Baker, Domestic. Howe.

companies. The superior quality OF Clark

immense sale. but with the great popularity o.
the goods came also counterfeits which made it
necessary for the manufacturers to adopt trade

and now upon every genuine spool of their
thread is the following:

FRIENDLY SPIDERS.

Spiders are, as rule, selfish and
vicious in their treatment of their fell
lows but writer in Hard,Uicke's
Science Gossip states that he once wit
messed an amicable relation established
between two. A fly, too large to be
handled alone, bounced into the web of
one, when her neighbor ran to her as
sistance, helped her to secure the VIC
tim, and then rat down in the most
friendly manner at her table, and supped
with her off the fy's savory juices.

Had it been some trust eompaty or curbstone
broker that asked exemption, ii woiild proba-
bly, have been granted. Some idea of the value
of these works to the community may be had
by an Illustration of thing which might really
happen at any time. The Clark Thread Com
pany employ, as stated, about fifteen hundred
PERSONS paying out to them sixteen to twenty
thousand dollars every two weeks. These hun
dreds of hands pay oht that tnoney to tbs
butcheF, the baker, the grocer, the clothier,
the dry-goods merchant, and all who have any
thing to sell get part of it in some way, either
directly or indirectly. From their hands it
goes to pay debts, meet obligations and fill the
channels of trade with the circulating medium
called money, and which is to business what
blood is to the human system, giving it life,
animation and power. Suppose tonight those
works were
