Another method has been brought for
ward by an English inventor for pro-
tacting iron from corrosion, the cost of
the process being given as about one
third chat OF coat of paint, one-tenth
that of cleo ro-plating with nickle, and
onc-twen ieth that OF the ordinary Op-
Grafton of printing and gliding; it can
also be colored in variety Of ways.
The articles to be protected are coated
with Thin film or boratc Of lead, con-
tanning Il little cuprous oxide in solu-
tion,and bright scales Of prcciptatcd
platinum In suspension. They are then
heated t. redncss, and become covered
with thin, CLASSY, bright coat Of grey
color, similar in appearance to polished
iron. Iron treated according to this
method Is said to be ''plantinized,'
and among the advantages claimed for
1t over other protecting processes Is
that it is unaffected by sewer gas, dilute
acids and alkalics and ordinary fire
heat.

Tho Paris Cattle Show.

The Dutch cattle, nearly all black
and white, Included over fifty animals
and made most credtablc show. The
class for cows was specially commend
able, many of tho animals showing
great milking properties. Our English
cow keepers we'll know these animals,
Which have too often introduced the
hated plcuro pneumonia. Here they
looked in perfect condition for milking
purposes. The Ncthcrland herd book
society showed capital lot, taking the
first prize with bull and'a fourth for
Il COW, out Of II lot of eight excellent fe-
males. Mr.. Derboycn of Malincs. stood
first with u cow having great milking
properties, and was fifth with his bull.
Mr.. Hullcman of Furisk, was second
for bull, very big for his age and well
grown. NJ. dc Golde, Of Guamercndc
showed II capital lot Of COWS, one OF
which stood second, being apparently
All excellent mixer. The Swiss cattle
presented great uniformity, all ola dark
grey. color, and not unlike Jerseys,
though Oh larger and cOarspr
scale; with gaudy trappings, all
were exhibited. 1t is probable that
these, as we'll as some Of the FIcnch
races, may have originally come from
the same stock as the Jerseys. The
animals-madc a very uniform show.
1t must be very difficult to decide be-
tween the merit: of animals ranging
from one to four years Of age. The
Judges selected for the first prize very

MIR. Burgc, Of Arth, was second for Il

months. The agricultural society OF
Switzerland had to be contcntcd with
two-thirds for bull and cow, good ami
mails. llcnggcler- Bcnzigcr. OF Oocrae-
gon, showed very good bull, and was
second for capital COW. The Danish
cattic were Il small collection, much cs-
teemcd for their hardy character and
rich milk. The Count Dc Krag- Fuel
Wind Trys, took most Of the prizes.
The Italian cattle were various as TO
size, form and color. Some Of the bulls
were on Il very large scale, with i'm
mcnsc bUnc--curiouS but not rommcud-
able. The second division Of the cattle
classes included animals bred in France,
but OF native aud foreign extraction,
representing twcnty-four distinct vari-
cites, or crossings derived from them
This was the most important and inter-
estinG portion Of the show. Commcn-
cling with catalogue we first notice the
Normandy cattle, II large class mum

bly, in size, but all more or less brn-

stock is more especially the depart
ments of La Manchc and Calvados, al
though justly celebrated for n liking
properties, the butter Of the Cotentin

Normandy cattle are also esteemed for
their beef producing qualities, but it
must be confessed that they require Il
long time to mature; and, though SCI

CLEANING CoAT COLLARS, ErC.-Q.( (
The best material for cleaning coat col
lars and grease spots ofall kinds is pure
bcnzine. The article Is sold at the
principal drug stores in cities. That
used by painters is not pure enough,
and has very unpleasant odor, which
the pure article has not, and the little
which 1t has soon disappears. If this
cannot be obtained, strong alcohol
(ninety-tivc per century will clean COL
lars very we'll. A mixture of equal
parts Of strong alcohol and water of
ammonia is also used. The trouble
with all these liquids is that not enough
is used;a small quantity only softcns
and spreads the grcasc-spot; they
should be applied in sufficient quantity
and repeated, to not only dissolve the
foreign matter, but to wash iJ out. (2.)
Two ounces of rock ammonia, ounces
Of alcohol, one ounce each Of spirits of
camphor and transparent soap. Put
all together in II large bottle, cover
with one quart OF soft water, and when
well mixed and dissolved it Is ready for
usc. Spread the coat on Il clean table,
take an old nail brush. or one of the
small scrubbing brushes sold as toys,
dip it in the mixture and scrub the dirty
parts thoroughly. Apply plenty OF
this, then take clean warm water and
go over it again. Hang it out Until
partly dry, and press with Il heavy iron
on the wrong side.
