The Tailor Bird,

The tailor bird, which is found In
India and the Indian Archipelago, is a
sober little creature, not more conspicu-
Gus than q common sparrow, and is
chiefly remarkable for its curious nest,
which is made in a singular and most
ingenious manner. Taking two leaves
at the extremity Of q slender twig, the
bird literally sews them together at
their edges, Its bill taking the place of
the needle, and the vegetable fiber Son
shutting the thread. A quantity Of soft
cottony down is then pushed between
the leaves, and a convenient hollow
scraped out, in which the eggs may lie
and the young may rest at their ease.
Sometimes, If the leaf be large enough,
It's two edges are drawn together, but
In general a pair Of leaves are needed.
A few feathers are sometimes mixed
with the down. This curious nest is
evidently hung at the very extremity Of
the twigs In order to keep cut Of the
way Of the monkeys, snakes, and other
enemies which might otherwise attack
and devour mother and young together.

THO Spanish gentlemen of Salamanca
have just obtained a patent in Spain for
making writing paper incombustible.
The experiments are said to have been
very satisfactory. The paper will not
burn, no matter what may be the in
tensity of the heat applied. A single
sheet submitted to the direct action of h
flame will c%arbonize, but does not take
fire. If a roll Of prepared paper is
placed in the hottest fire the outside
leaves will carbonize the edges for a
short depth, but the interior remains
unaltered, the writing or printing being
perfectly legible. The cheapness of the
preparation makes it accessible to every
purpose in which paper is used.

The London NeDS describes a recently
invented and useful little device, name
ly, a watch-chain measuring instru-
ment, which will do the work of both
rule and measuring tape, and will
measure with accuracy minute fractions
of an inch or the length of a room. To
measure any object, it is simply neces-
sary to run it over the surface, when
the distance is at once indicated by the
hands, the large hand registering the
inches and fraction of an inch, and the
small hand the feet. The device is also
convenient for the ready measuring of
distances on maps, however irregular
the route may be.

SKINNING VS.. SCALDING HoGs.-I saw
a man dressing a small pig in a manner
which was novel to me. Instead of the
long and laboriOus method of heating
water and scalding and shaving, he
simply skinned the animal. He claims
that he could skin six hogs in less time
than they could be dressed by scalding.
The pork looked nicer than | expected
to see it-in fact, full as we'll as when
the skin was left on. There was one
butcher or more In the neighborhood
who skinned hogs for the sake of the
skin, and since the process of scalding
costs a dollar or more, many Of the far
mers who do not care to eat the pork
have their hogs skinned, or such
of them as they intend to keep for their
own eating. | was unable to learn
what price the skins brought in the
market or to what use they are put.
Probably they are worth as much as
the price usually obtained for butcher
ing, or the butchers would not choose
to skin for the hide instead of money.
Whether the hides are used for riding
or "Russian leather" hand bags and
pocket books | know not; but If they
do the world any good In that way it is
more than they do in the pork barrel.
AS a matter of curiosity | would add
that the hide from a 200 pound pig
weighs about 1219 pounds.

taking a piece of gum camphor about
one-third the size of a hens egg, .and
evaporate 1t by placing 1t in a tin vessel,
holding 1t over a lamp or candle, taking
care that it does not ignite. The smoke
will soon fill the and expel the

drachms; mix them well and apply

VINEGAR FROM SUGAR BEETs.-One
bushel of sugar beets, properly rasped
and pressed, will yield five gallons OF
juice, which, treated the same as cider
Is, will make a stronger vinegar of as
good but different flavor; and in making
cider, nine bushels of apples and one OF
sugar beets will make a cider superior
to apples alone. Every farmer can
raise sugar beets, aud with the juice
expressed at the cider mill make all
the vinegar he wants for his own use
and have a surplus for sale. With
vinegar at a price 1t could be made for
from beets, its consumption would be
increased, as it would be entered into
many articles of manufacture from
which the price now precludes 1t. When
1t is found how cheap sugar beets can
be raised, and their value for vinegar
as well as food for stock, they will be
grown more. The beet juice can also
be worked into sugar as easily as maple
sugar now is and requires no more
skill.

Picked RID CABBAGE.-The purple
red cabbage il the finest. Slice them
into a sieve and salt each layer, re-
membering that too much salt will
spoil the color. Drain for three days;
dry IL, add some sliced beet-root and
put II In a jar. Pour boiling vinegar
over II. Mace, bruised ginger, whole
pepper, horse-radish and cloves, boiled
with the vinegar will make q great i'm
provement. Tie bladders over the Jars.
In a few days open and see if the
vinegar has shrunk away, II so I'LL up
with cold vinegar. Some recommend
that the vinegar be boiled but allowed
10 cool before pouring over the cabbage.
A little bruised cochlneal makes this
pickle a beautiful color and Is harmless.
II kept very long, picked cabbage gets
soft, but is very nice especially If eaten
soon after 1t is made. Another method
OF making this pickle is TO quarter the
cabbage, remove all stalks, then slice
thin, and, after treating as the above,
add vinegar cold with one ounce Of
whole black pepper, one-half ounce Of
ginger bruised and a little cayenne
pepper to every quart Of vinegar.

BOISE COUNTY.

The following is an extract from
lengthy article in the Ogden Free
man on the resources of Idaho:
"Boise county is one of the most
populous counties in the Territory.
The principle business is mining.
Gold was discovered in Southern Ida
no, in this county, in 1862. Millions
have since been taken out and shipped
out of the country. The past history
of this county would form a long and
interesting article, but we design TO
speak of the present, and must hasten
on. The placer mines of this county
are, many of them, still rich IN the
precious metals and large sums are
taken out every year; but the best
mines are in the hands of wealthy
companies This is mistake,-ED
WoRLD.7, and money is not laying
around loose like it was IN Oh.
Quartz mining is beginning to be a
leading interest, and will continue to
grow in Importance as the other mines
fail. This county, like Alturas, con-
tains large forests of timber and beau
tiful lakes. The full grown timber OF
these mountains will average about
one hundred and fifty feet in height,
and four or FIVE feet in diameter at
the base. Most of the lumber used
in Boise City is obtained from this
county, and much of the fire wood is
Aoated down Boise river. Coal IN
abundance has been found in this
county, about twenty-five miles north
of Boise City. The county seat Is
Idaho City, place of considerable
Importance, containing many business
houses and presenting the usual bus
tie of a mining town. The IDAHO
WORLD, newspaper, is published
there, semi weekly and weekly. (ln
