LEMON SYRUP. lemon syrup
bought at stores can be made at home
much cheaper. Take pound of Ha-
vana sugar, boil it in water down to a
quart, drop in the white of an egg to
clarity it, strain it, add one-quarter of
an ounce of tartarIc or citric acid. If
you do not find it sour enough after it
has stood two or three days, add more
acid. A few drops of oil of lemon
improves it.

Nel1 Process for Electrotyping.-A new
and ingenious process has lately been
introduced into France for electrotyp-
ing non conducting materials, such as
china, porcelain, etc. sulphur Is dis
solved in oil of lavender spike 10 a
syrupy Conscience; then chloride of
gold or chloride of platinum is dis
solved in sulphuric ether, and the two
solutions mixed under a gentle heat.
The compound is next evaporated unto
the thickness of ordinary paint, in
which condition it is applied with a
brush TO such portions of the china,
glass, or other frbric as it is desired TO
cover. according TO the design or pat
tern, with the electro-metallic deposit.
The objects are baked in usual way be-
fore they are immersed in the bath.

To GO TO SLEEP.-When ready for
bed, sit down in an easy position, re-
laxing all the muscles of the body, ana
let the head drop forward on the
breast as low as it will fall without
forcing it. Sit quietly in this way for
few minutes, aud a drowsy feeling
will ensue, which, if not disturbed, will
lead to a refreshing sleep If the sleep
less fit comes on in the night, sit up in
the position described.

The usual experiment for showing
the combustion of oxygen in ammonia
is conducted in this way: a coil OF
heated platinum wire is suspended in a
flask containing a small quantity OF a
strong solution of ammonia. The coil
continues to glow by oxyidizing the
ammonia. When a current Of oxygen
is caused TO pass through small tube
TO the bottom of the flask, it will burn
as it rises in bubbles though the am
monia. Prof. y. L. Lupton, of VAN
derbilt University, Nashville, Tenn,
shortens the tube, and makes 1t dis
charge the stream of oxygen about an
inch above the surface OF the solution,
where il burns gently in the ammonia
cal atmosphere of the flask. The plat
inum coil is removed as soon as the
flame surrounds the end of the oxygen
tube. This modification appears to be
a decided Improvement.

strain it, removing every particle OF

of butter about the size OF a walnut,

stir it few minutes, and then add the
strained gravy to it; let it come TO a

of catsup and the beef, cut in thin
slices; let it simmer from five to ten
minutes, but on no account let 1t boil,
as this would render the meat tasteless

who have long held that the axis OF
the other planet spheres of our solar

is thought that should any of the bal
Ioonists of Cheyne's expedition reach

mouth of a vast furnace. In this way

ly. Never whip him, but try TO coax
him up TO the object, that he may smell
of it. One of the worst shvers was
broken by leading, riding and driving
in meadow where stones, stumps,
boxes and buffalo skins were placed iu
different positions every day, the horse
being led up to them and allowed to eat

WHEN WHEAT SHOULD BE CUT
There has been some diversity of opin-
ion as TO the best time TO cut wheat,
Judging from the common practice of
farmers. It is generally cut when dead
ripe, or at least when the grain has be-
come hard. This is no doubt an error,
and one of more Importance than many
suppose. It should be remembered
that wheat Is composed of gluten,
starch and bran. Gluten is the nour-
ishing quality of the grain. makes the
flour stick together in the hands OF the
baker, and gives weight to the grain
and there is the greatest quantity Of
gluten in the grain, just ,eheH the Strd'r
Is yellOlc t,rO or three joints from the
ground, the head turns dOlrR0Grd, and you
cda mash grain Jet,reeR your thumb and
finger ,rithout producing any milk. 1t
may therefore be set down as an irdis-
putable truth that every day the wheat
stands after the stage of its ripeness,
the gluten decreases in quantity and
the bran increases in thickness, while
also there is danger of rust, which
usually makes its appearance during
the last ten days of June.

RAISING TOMATOES. - Tomatoes are
much more abundant and of better fla-
vor when staked than when suffered
to ramble over the ground. For gar
den culture there Is no doubt about it
being the most profitable plan, and it
becomes a question as to what is the
best way of doing the thing. In our
own case we use stout branches that
have numerous snags on, and which
help to support the immense weight of
fruit which our plants always bear.
Others use long trellis, sloping and
meeting at the top of section which
looks like an inverted V (N but the
cool air so much shaded soil induces is
not favorable to the best results in to-
mato growing. as the tomato rejoices in
warm ground. Some take pains TO
make net upright trellises and train
and prune the plants, making pretty
garden picture as well as producing
capital results for the kitchen.
