DOMESTIC.

POWDER FOR CHAFED SKrN.-This pre-
paration is universally applied for dry
ing the skin, after washing, especially
at the joints, which, if left even damp
at certain seasons, produces chops and
chatting, often followed, if neglected, by
Inflammation. Violet powders are best
prepared by mixing three parts of the
best wheat starch with one of finely
ground orris root; the latter adds to
the drying power Of the starch, and i'm
parts at the same time an agreeable,
odor, like that OF the violet; hence the
name of the mixture. 1t Is also pre-
pared by perfuming starch with essen
tial oils without the addition of orris
root; but though the scent of the
powder is stronger, and some more
tempting to use, it is far less beneficial
in its application. The scent, acting as
q stimulant to the skin, increases rather
than abates any tendency to redness.
UDperfumed powder is therefore best
TO use, busted over the part with little
swans down, commonly called puff.

Hdlford's Wood Preserving Process
The various processes for preserving
wood have for their object the rreven-
ton or arrest Of fungoid growth. This
is sought TO be accomplished Dy two
main systems; one of which consists in
impregnating the wood with solution
of metallic salt, such as corrosive SUBJ
Innate, chloride OF zinc. or sulphate of
copper, and the other includes the
several creosote processes. The action
of the salts named is purely chemical,
and as they are introduced in walery
solution, il is evident that subsequent
exposure to moisture tends to rediss0lve
them and leave the wood unprotected.
CreosotIng, while producing the same
result chemically, also secures dryness,
which alone is sufficient to prevent
decay, provided that it can be main
tanned. In creosoting, it is essential
that the wood should be thoroughly
dried, in order to secure complete i'm
pregnation, and hence timber is usually
seasoned for months before treatment.
This is a serious objection, which in
ventors have attempted to remedy by
adding preliminary desiccating opera
ton. At extensive works at South
Boston. Mass, under the charge of Mr..
Edward X. Andrews, a process known
as the HayfOrd is il use, which consists
in drying the timber in vacuo, and then
impregnating it with creOsote under
pressure. Green timber is fed by a rail
track into an air-tight cylinder of boiler
iron, 100 feet long and feet in diameter.
This cylinder has been tested by hydro
static pressure of 200 lbs. to the square
inch, and Is capable of being her.
metically closed. When the charge is
in, steam is introduced, raising the
temperature gradually, so as not to
harden the outside of the wood and pre-
vent the escape from the interior. At
mospheric air is also forced in at
pressure of from 30 to 40 lbs, to restrain
the tendency of the wood TO crack. A tenn
perature of 250 to 270 deg. isfound suffi-
cient to evaporate the sap, and the whole
steaming process occupies from hours
for boards to 10 or II hours for heavy
timber. When il is certain that the
sap and vapor have been turned into
steam, the direct steam is shut of, and
air pumps set TO work to free the cy-
Under from the steam, vapOrised sap.
and condensation. This stage is reached
in about an hour. The cylinder being
made tight again, and still heated by
the coil, a vacuum pump is put in
action. Then the creosote oil, pre-
viously heated to near the boiling point
to render it limpid and penetrating, is
introduced under a pressure of 60 lbs,
which, added to the drawing power of
of the vacuum, makes total pressure
of over 20 lbs, to the square inch. The
hot oil soon impregnates the wood. If
the timber is of very close fiber, the
pressure is raised to a higher point.
The process completed, the charge is
withdrawn and another takes its place.

OUR HowEyVILLE LETTER
TOWNSVILLE, May 20.

TOWNSVILLE, May 20.
Editor argus:
Perhaps many Of your readers
have heard Of Howesyille and think
it large town; but it is not 30
large as one would be likely to i'm
agine from hearing of it so often.
The farmers Of this neighborhood
are a set of enterprising, harawork-
inR and thrifty people. They have
contrived a new mode of clearing
land. They chop everything down
in the months CT July and August
and let it lay until the following
May when they set it on fire and
almost clears the ground of all
brush, saplings, rubbish, &c.
The times are hard around here
as far as money matters are con-
cerned, but the prospects for fine
crops are good.
Mr.. Frank Barlow and Miss
Anne Korte were joined in we'd
lock by Rev. E. M. Hickey, at the
Catholic Chapel, of this place, on
Tuesday of last week. May their
Joys have no ending.
Mr.. Edward j. Richards, James
j. Caufeld and james Richards
have all gone West. Success boys,
but don't forget the little girls you
left behind you" for a few short,
but Impressive lines, would dry
handful of tears.
The new Catholic Church of this
place is rapidly approaching com
pletion. 1t will be dedicated some
time in June or the first of July.
The Catholics here are to have a
grand picnic on the Fourth of July
for the benefit of the new church.
BE getting ready boys and engage
your gals" but don't engage some
other fellows girl. We hope many
readers OF the ARGUS will come.

townsville, cold his bay colt, "Bill,"

getting dusty, but month behind
last year, that being dry winter.
The "camping season" will soon
be here. Many persons living in
the valleys must spend part of the
summer in the mountains or on the
coast, in order to enjoy health; hence
you will see whole families
or parts Of families-going to Clear
Lake, the mountains, the coast, or
the Geysers, and remaining for weeks
and even months, hunting and fish
ing ad k6itrn1.
The vaLLeys Of Califol MIA are the
parts cultivated; the foothills and
mountains are too dry and gravely
to produce anything but wild oats,
grass, and weeds, and these dry out
by June, giving the hills a brown
hue. Thus you see only small por-
ton Of the State can be used for ag-
riculture. The foothills are good
grape land. Some of the Coast Mts.
covered with Red Weeds have q
good, light soil, but it is almost a
lifetime work to rid it Of the giant
trees and stumps. One ofthe latter,
eight or ten feet in diameter and
about fifteen in height, is fornida-
BILE obstruction; and they are often
so numerous that a wagon could not
be driven across the field. Red wood
is tie timber OF California-housss
fences, etc. are made oft, though it
have to be hauled many miles. We
never heard of any OF 1t rotting.
The mercury ranges from As or 50
IN the morning and evening, to IS,
80 or 90 during the early afternoon,
making only two changes OF climate
in "a hours.

Prag's chromos, Blabon & Cos oil
cloths, and other displays, adding.
But 1T Is almost impossible TO see
anything to advantage, owing to the
busy hurrying TO and fro and the
excitement that pervades the repre-
sentatlyes OF our irropressible
nationality"
Congress has been in session al
most continuously since last Octo ber.
Whether or not the loud COM
munlstic mutterings heard all over
the land, and growing fercer and
louder each week, will amount to
nything more than growing and
teeth-snapping threats remains 10
be seen and experienced. But one
thing IS certain, powers not family
smoldering exist that could execute
the threats and those who, know
say that the power to stop that ex-
ecution does not exist.
There are many reasons why the
Army and Navy OF the United
States should be in it's very best
strength and condition Just now.
Everybody knows, at least, that the
country is literally swarming with
tramps, Migrants and under-paid
laborers who are more than ready
to join any lamless movement
against right and authority. Then
the Indians are promising us more
trouble, Mexico is already giving
Ut, there is prospect Of an extensive
Europen war in case of which
we must be necessarily more or less
implicated. Fenians and threaten

10 no question but the country s
chief executive should be vested
with power to increase our army
In an emergency by at least 100000
men and to have on the stocks a few
ships Of war useful for defensive
purposes. The riots OF last summer
contained good lessons and it be-
hooves the ruling powers Of the
land to profit by them to the fullest
possible extent.
Hon. BENZ. Wilson. 1st District,
