How TO Wash Laces.-Cover half

How TO Wash Laces.-Cover half a
dozen wine or porter bottles with old
stockings, sewed on TO fit as tightly as
possible. On these basic the soiled lace,
carefully catching down every tiny loop
in the border The work is tedious but
necessary When the lace is fastened,
cover the bottle in hot suds made of fine
soap, and change the cooling suds to hot
again several times a day. Or, better
still, put the bottle in the boiler, and let
it boil two or three hours, by which time
the lace will be quite clean. Set the
bottle in the air, and leave it till the
lace is nearly but not quite dry. Then
rip the lace off carefully, and press it in
a book for q lew hours. 1t will come
out spotless-not too white-and with
the almost imperceptible stiffness which
new lace has. Even point lace energies
unscatbed from this process. With half
a dozen bottles much lace can be
cleaned at once, and the lace can be
tackled on at odd minutes.

A New Product from Beets,-The
wonuers of nature are amazing, and we
have to thank chemistry for presenting
to us the extraordinary disclosures
made through constant experimenting
in the laboratory. The common sugar
beet, erewhile mere food for cattle,
was, within the memory of some per-
sons yet living, discovered to contain a
pure, crystallizable sugar, After many
years labor successful process was in
vented to utilize this discovery, and now
not far from one thousand million tons
of beet sugar are made annually in
Europe, with vast, indeed incalculable,
profit to agriculture. But sugar is not
the only product of this homely root.
A great quantity of molasses is pro-
duced from the refuse of the sugar
manufacture; large quantity of spirits
is distilled from the refuse of the mo-
lasses; from the refuse of this last
potash is made, and used as a fertilizer
Now more wonderful discovery than
all these has come to light. From the
refuse of the distillation of alcohol there
is now produced a combustible gas
which can be condensed into a volatile
liquid, known as chloride of methyl.
This chloride of methyl has been used
in the preparation of some of the bril-
liant aniline colors, but it has been now
found to be a valuable refrigerating
agent. By rapidly evaporating it,
temperature of more than sixty degrees
below zero can be produced and main
tanned, and mercury can be reduced to
solid metal by this means But the
grand value of the discovery will be in
the use of this product of the modest
beet root in the manufacture of ice
What vast possibilities may exist in
simple rootl and what boundless won
ders are EMBODIED in the commonest pro-
ducts of nature! Surely there can be
no more ennobling study for the mind,
or work for the hands of man, than that
which brings to his view the exquisite
works of nature, or opens to his intelli-
gence the fairy world, of which he may
obtain glimpse, at least, now and then.

English Saddle Horses.-The re


quisite qualifications of an English
lady's saddle horse, according to the
Agricultural Gazette, London, are as fol
lows: Here all the caprice of fashion
and the weight of the breeders intelli
gence are concentrated The great aim
being to secure an animal light in the
hand, springy in his PAGES, with that due
proportion of bone and siuew which will
bear wear and tear, because ladies, once
up, unless thorough horsewomen, think,
ooh, he's horse, and he must go!" l
can almost challenge the seller on the
point whether the horse has carried a
lady by observing the unequal wear of
the forelegs. The near leg in cantering
bearing all the conclusion, is often very
looped, if not archy, in comparison. In
this class of horse length of limb and
pastern joint is desirable-long pastern,
good knees, deep shoulders, deep, blood
like quarters, the feet sound, hoof dark
colored.

Why Bees Work In the Dark.-Every
one knows what fresh honey is Ikea
clear yellow syrup, without any trace of
solid sugar in it. After straining, it
gradually assumes crystal appearance
it candies, as the saying is. and ulti-
mately becomes a solid mass of sugar
1t has been suspected that this change is
due to Photographic action-the same
agent which alters the molecular ar
rangement of the iodide of silver on the
excited collodion plate and determines
the formation of camphor and iodine
crystals in bottle, causes honey to as
sumo a crystalline form. NJ Scheiber
inclosed honey in well-corked TASKS,
some OF which he kept in perfect dark
ness, while the others were exposed to
the light. The result has been that that
portion exposed to the light soon crystal
Lies, while that kept in the dark re-
mains unchanged. Hence we see why
the bees are SO careful to work in the
dark, and why they are so careful to
obscure the glass windows which are
sometimes placed in their hives The
existence of the young depends on the
liquidity of the saccharine food pre-
sented to them, and if light were al
lowed access to this, in all probability it
would prove fatal to the inmates of the
hive Western Farm Journal

Neuralgia.-For this distressing
malady there is very simple and
efficient remedy. We have tried it with
uniform success, but we have rarely
found sufferer who would make a
thorough use of it. 1t is so simple that
most people prefer to suffer than TO
properly try it. 1t is this: Get a piece
of the common sal-dnmonidc, and every
hour or so bite off a piece as big as a
pea and swallow it, If more con-
venient, wash it down with water; or
dissolve half drachm of the sal
ammoniac in an ounce of water, and
take tablespoonful every three minutes
or SO. An overdose can do no harm,
nor is the substance especially disagreed
BILE to take. In from one to three hours
relief will be obtained, in four-ffths of
the cases. Why people won't try this
simple remedy, after being told of it by
one who has tried it, is to us wonder
but so it is Voc PopuH

THEATRICAL LITIGATION.

DION BoUcICAuLT's INJUNCTION AGAINST THE
PRODUCTION OF THE COLLEEN BAwN" AT
THE OLYMPIC NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. IN
COURT.
There was recently granted by Judge Donohue. on
application made behalf Mr.. Dion Boucicault, the
dramatic author and actor. temporary injunction
restraining Messrs George s. Gardiner, George w.
Hallock and William J. Fleming from producing the
colleen Bawn" at the Olympic Theatre The mat
ter came before Judge Barrett, in the Supreme
Court Chambers, yesterday. order to show
cause why such injunction should not be made per-
mancnt. As usual in of this kind when the
power of the Court invoked to settle matters Of
dispute arising between play writers and theatrical
managers, there large crowd in attendance, in
Guiding goodly array of members of the dramatic
profession. Mr.. Boucicault was represented by Mr..
Richard O'Gorman and the defendants by Mr.. Edwin
G. Dana.
In opening the case Mr.. O'Gorman stated that the
play of THE Colleen Dawn was composed by Mr..
Boucicault in 1866 that 1t had been most enthusi-
astcally received whenever put on the stage, and
that was in consequence most valuable property
to Mr. Boucicaut. He commended that the defendants
had right without first negotiating with MIR.
Boucicault to present this play at the Olympic
Theatre. and particularly as at she time It was pro-
posed to present the play at such theatre he was
under contract with Messrs. Poole Donnely to pro-
duce the play ut the Grand Opera House.
Mr. Davis insisted that the plaintiff had special
proprietary right In the play inasnuch the same
had been published in book form. He stated that
any one could buy as many copies OF the play as he
wished in this country or in England. He made .
strong point that the play had not been copyrighted
in this country. He read an affidavit of John II.
Deafeld stating that he brought out the play in
1864. at Wolverhampton. England. when MIR. Bouci-
cault instituted proceedings to have the production
Of the play stopped which resulted in dismissal OF
the
Mr.. OGorman stated that the play was published
in England in defiance of Mr.. Boucicault, and that
the dismissal of the proceedings referred to in Eng
land purely technical nrOuud Mr
Boucicault, he added, had copyrighted by title
the play in the United States, but had not
perfected his copyright through failure to file
pete copy Of the play He did not bring the present
action under the copyright law, but based his pro-
cccdings solely the State law as founded on the
common law. He said that Mr.. Boucicault had not
dedicated to tho public his production and therefore
was entitled to protection. He read an aflidayit
Mr.. Boucicault setting forth that the latter had
given up his right to the play, but while absent
in England had agents here who collected licenses
for its production.
After some further discussion Judge Barrett gave
the defendants counsel until next Monday to put in
further afhdavits.

Henry Madden. the sailor at No. - Oliver street

reading the evidence that case is presented upon
which jury may be fairly asked TO determine
whether the prisoner took the life OF the deceased
intentionally or whether his motive was revenge.
There is certainly enough to hold the prisoner on
