Uses to Which Seaweed il Pit.

Mr.. Stanford, the originator Of the
British Seaweed company, according to
Harper's Weekly, has succeeded in ex-
tracing everything valuable out Of sea.
weed. Having gathered his raw mpte.
rial, it is stored under cover to drain,
and then dried either in the suns rays
or heated rooms. The weeds are subse-
quently submitted to hydraulic pressure
to lessen their bulk, after which they
are distilled in iron retorts kept at a low
red heat, the gas generated in the oper-
alton being utilized for carrying on sub
sequent operations, or for lighting the
factory. During distillation the sea-
weed gives off q quantity of tar, which
is redistilled, and the volatile oil which
then passes over is treated with a weak
solution of sulphuric acid, by which the
red coloring matter is precipitated. -
Having decanted the residue Of the tar
into another still, greater heat is applied,
and parafine oil passes over. This is
purified in the ordinary way with oil of
vitriol and caustic soda. Thepitch that
remains is pumped into brick ovens,
the heavy vapors and more parafine be.
ing eliminated, and the solid portion is
burned into coke, which is eagerly
bought up by iron-masters. 1t is much
more valuable than Ordinary coke, be-
cause it Is almost entirely Tree from
sulphur. Turning now to the con-
denscrs, we find that in the process of dis
tillation o quantity Of liquid has been
left. Being allowed to settle, the tar
by specific gravity falls to the bottom,
and the lighter fluid, be- treated with
lime, yields ammonia. It will thus be
seen that these once despised weeds
now yield chlorides of potassium and
sodium, gas, parafine oil, sulphate OF
ammonia, acetate of lime, pure charcoal,
coloring matter, and iodine. BY Mr..
Stanford's process every ingredient is
utilized, and, what is Of far greater i'm
pcrtance. none Of she precious iodine is
lost during the manifold operations.

much for style, but a solid, substantial
fellow. concluded to take the two daugh-
tiers of his landlady TO the Castleton
camp-meeting, last Sunday, and pro-
cured transportation for the party from

the train at Massachusetts avenue depot
and found the cars well filed. In the
one they entered two spruce young men
occupied double seats facing each other,
but made no move toward accommodate
ing the ladies. Their escort said he
would go into another car and Try to find
seats. He was successful, and returned
for his company. They, in the mean
time, had accepted seats beside the two
young men mentioned, and when the
brakeman walked up to them pretended
not to notice him. he cooDy walked to

InterlOpers.


How many quarrels would be made
up were it not for interlopers2 1t some
times happens that men who have cut
each ether on some foolish pretext for
months or years, find themselves stand
ing close to each other in society, and
are on the point of swallowing their
pride and shaking hands, when an idle
fellow begins a conversation with one of
them, and the opportunity is gone, per.
haps never to return. Again, how many
marriages are prevented by interlopers4
An interrupted proposal is not always
continued. An innocent person enter
ing a room in order TO write a note may
spoil all by appearing at the critical mo-
ment; and wen o servant with a coal
box has been known to put to fight a

The hair of Monroe is a handsome dark

Quincy Adams is somewhat peculiar,
being coarse and a yellowish=gray in
color. The hair OF General jackson is
almost perfect white, but coarse in its
character, as might be supposed by
those who have examined the portraits
Of the old hero. The hair of Van Buren,

Initials on Fruit.

Did you ever see a anne printed on a
growing apple, pear OF peach' NoP
Well, if you wish to have that pleasure,
this is the way to obtain it: While the
fruit yet hangs green upon the tree,
make up your mind which is the very
biggest and most promising specimen Of
all. Next, cut out from thin tough pa.
per the initials Of the name Of your lit
tie brother or sister or chief crony, with
round specks for dots after the letters,
and the letters themselves plain and
thick. Then paste these letters and
dots on that side of the apple which is
most turned to the sun, taking care not
to loosen the fruits hold upon the stem.
As soon as the apple is ripe, take off
the paper cuttings, which, having shut
out the reddening rays Of the sun, have
kept the fruit green just beneath them,
30 that the name OF initials now show
plainly. After that, bring the owner
Of the initials to play near the tree, and
say presently, why, what are those
queer marks on that apple up there?'-
You will find this quite q pleasant way
to surprise the very little ones, and, Of
course, you can print a short pet name
as easily as initials. .gs'st s,rw rs, 4

beetle feeding upon one Of the sets be.
FORE got it covered. My wife went to
look at my early potatoes, which we're
just breaking ground, and picked off
nearly half apint. Immediately went
to work and mixed Paris green and land
plaster in the following manner Itook
a sheet of strong brown wrapping paper
and on this spread the plaster, then
srrinkled on some Paris green, and
bringing the sides Of Che paper up over
the mixture, 1 80 rolled and crushed
it that the green was o o evenly incor.

much OF the green to the plaster as to
give it a slight green tint. This l ap-
piled to the vines by means of q little
tin sitter, which did its work we'll; and
the mixture did its work well, too, for
we have only found dead beetles since.
This method Of applying Paris green /
