A Really Indelible Ink.

The ordinary so-called "indelible" ink
are prepared from salts Of silver, and ths
writing done with them can be removed
by soaking the linen with solution oil
cyanide Of potassium exceedingly poison,
Gus, it should be rememberedD or Of hy.
posulphite of soda, or by moisteuing with
the solution of bichloride of copper, and
then washing with aqua ammonia. A
really indelible ink, that is, one that can
not be removed by chemical agents, may
be made from aniline dyes according to
the following recipe:
Dissolve 8! grs. Of bichloride Of copper
in 30 grs. of distilled water, then add 10
grs. of common salt aud % grs. of aqua
ammonia. A separate solution is made OF
80 grs. Of hydrochlorate Of anilinc in 20
grs. of distilled water, which is then added
to 20 grs. of a solution Of gum.arabic, and
lastly 10 grains of glycerine. Four parts
of the aniline solution thus prepared are
mixed with part Of the copper solution.
The fluid thus prepared has a greenish
color, but becomes black in few days after
being used for marking, or at once by the
application of a hot iron, or being other.
wise heated A steel pen may be used for
writing with it. If the cloth, after being
marked, is put into tepid suds, the writing
acquires fine blush tint.
The ink should be perfectly limpid, SO a.
to penetrate the fabric; and the solutions
should be mixed only when they are to be
used.-BostOH Journal Of Chemistry.

Mount Etna, in Sicily, has varied its
traditional habit Of throwing up lava Of
late BY discharging immense quantities Of
mud. The pieces would often drop upon
each other aud form columns ten or more
feet high, which would finally fall and be-
come amalgamated with the rest. Much
water, Of salt taste, is mingled with the
earthly discharges, and contains also a
mixture Of petroleum aud sulphur.

To REMOVE INK FROM CARPET
When freshly spilled, it can be removed
from carpets by wetting in milk. Take
cotton-batting and soak up all the ink that
it will receive, being careful not to let it
spread. Then take fresh cotton wet in
milk, and sop il up carefully, Repeat
this operation, changing cotton and milk
each time. After most of the ink has
been taken up in this way, with fresh cot
ton and clean, rub the spot Continue
until all disappears; then wash the spot
in clean, warm water, and rub until nearly
dry. For ink spots on marble, wood or
paper, apply ammonia in clear water, just
wetting the spot repeatedly till the ink dis
appears.

Rose cultivation, is in south. eastern
France, a considerable industry, The per-
fume manufacturers in the Department Of
the Alpes Maritimes consume annually
6000 hundrcd-weight of roses, and the
neighborhood of Grasse and Cannes is
thickly studded with rose farms; 10000
bushes are planted in one hectare (two and
one half acres), and good bush yields
for about IL years. May is the harvest
time. During the summer the field takes
care Of itself. In fall it is carefully weed
ed and manured, the manure consisting
exclusively of ofal from the perfume fac.
tories and other vegetable matter. Such
hectare planted with rose bushes and in
good cultivation is worth 10000 francs,
and brings, in an average year, profit Of
q per cent.

Secret Worth Knowing by HOuseksepsrs

A sort Of trade secret among upholster-
ers it is said is this recipe for ridding fur
niture Of moths "A set Of furniture that
seemed to be alive with the Larvae, from
the month it came new, and from which
hundreds Of these pests had been picked,
and brushed, was set into room by itself.
Three gallons Of benzine were purchased,
at thirty cents gallon, retail. Using a
small watering pot, with a fine rose sprink-
Ter, the whole upholstery was saturated
through and through with the bcnzine.
Result--every moth, larvae aud egg was
killed. The benEine dried out in few
hours, and its entire odor disappeared in
three or four days. Not the slightest harm
happened to the varnish or wood or fabrics
or hair stufing That was months ago,
and not a sign Of moth has since appear.
ed. The carpets were also well sprinkled
all around the sides Of the room with equal
ly good effect.
For furs, fannels, indeed wooden articles
containing moths, benzine is most valuable.
Put them in box, sprinkle with benzine,
close the box tightly, and in day or two
the pests will be sxterminated, and the
benzine will all evaporate on opening. In
using benzine great care should be taken
that no fire isnear by, as tho stuff in fluid
or vapor form is very infammable.

A Useful CEMENT.-For stopping
holes 10 castings, or for covering scars, a
useful cement may, il is said, be made of
equal parts Of gum arabic, plaster Of Paris
and iron filings, and if little finely pull
vcrized white glass be added to the mix
ture it will make it still harder This
mixture forms very hard cement that
will resist the action Of fire and water. 1t
should be kept in its dry state, and mixed
with little water when wanted for use.

MYSTERIES OF Our LANduAGE.-A

he broke his fast Then he rose and took
of his hose and went with his hoes along
the rows, and put the rose on the end Of
his hose-which, as every one knows, is a
nose, though hear some noes-and, like
fisherman rows for the shad with roes,
or hunter goes for the forest roes. So
his hose waters every rose in the rows.
Now tell me who knows how foreign wight

as Homer The Greeks made them in

broad brimmed. The Phrygian bonnet has
an elevated cap without brim, the apex
turned over in front. It is known as the
Cap Of Liberty. An ancient figure Of
Liberty in the times Of Antonius Livy,
A. d. 1l5, holds the cap in the right
hand. The Persians wore soft caps; plum
ed hats were the head dress of the Syrian
corps Of Xerxes; the broad brim was worn
by the Macedonian Kings Castor means

plug hat. The merchants Of the four.
teenth century wore a Flanders beaver;
Charles the VII, in 1869, wore a felt hal
lined with red aud plumed. The English.
men and women in 1910 wore close wool
en- or knitted caps; two centuries ago hats
were worn in the house. Pepys, in hil
