Euphorbium is = gum resin which OK
udss from the suphorbia, . shrub
growing on the slopes Of tho Atlas
mountains, In Morocco. The dust Of
the plant is excessively acrid, producing
violent sneezlng and even delirium. In
one instance an Irish laborer was ron
dered 80 insane by it as to insist on
saying his prayers at the tail Of the mill
horse. Lately, however, the resin has
been turned to valuable use as pre-
ventlve of rust. Some laborers at Ma
tai discovered that metallic surfaces
coated with this material no longer OK
idized, and plates of iron were coated
with 1t and immersed in water by way
OF experiment.. These were completely
preserved from rust, although the
waters Of southern Africa are we'll
known for their injurious, action upon
metals. TO make practical application
OF the discovery, the euphorbium was
dissolved Tn alcohol, and tho mixture
applied to the hulls of vessels, with
complete success in preventing corro-
sion. The varnish, If it may be so
called, also produces considerable lus-
tre and preserves those objects to
which 1t is applied from tho action Of
the atmosphere. 1t Is now being intro
duced into England.

INCREAslNG THE GROWTH OF HAIR
Where tho root or bulb of tho hair has
once been destroyed, the place will re-
main bald but where they have not all
been destroyed, a partial restoration
may be effected by the use Of Il diluted
acetous infusion OF cantharides. A
weak tincturo Of iodine, applied twice
or thrice weekly, may be restorted to
for the same purpose. BY proper at
tcntion to cleanliness, and the use of
the remedies named, tho growth Of
hair on the horses tail may be in
creased. Piebald or speckled horses
are generally deficient in growth OF

DOMESTIC.

PAPER MUsLIN.-The advantages of
paper muslin are not fully appreciated
except by those who have made q prae
tical test Of Its usefulness. No lady
should 20 into the country, or make an
extended tour in any direction, with
ont carrying with her several yards of
cAis mate rial, which takes up but little
room and will bear any amount of
pressing. If tho room you occupy is
bare Of ornament, or the walls adorned
with paper offensively gaudy, cover its
detects with blue or pink paper muslin
on which you can pin woodland treas.
ures here and there, and you have.
with slight expense, a most attractive
apartment. Much as you desire priv
acy, 1t may be necessary for breathing
purposes to have the door of your DOM
open, or a window raised, and how is
1t possibie to prevent the curious gazer
from staring in II doors and windows
open upon thoroughbred A screen
or curtain Of paper muslin will prove
blessed boon. Many traveller has
regretted not having thought of pack
Ing this inexpensive luxury In the bot
tom Of the trunk. Amy one may with
out previous expectation find himself
In situation to realize tho comfortand
protection such a provision would
afford. Its utility Is limited only by
tho power of individual ingenuity. We
can, with this material at hand, I'M
provise cupboards, wardrobes, libra
ries, bedrooms and bathrooms, conceal

aesthetic possibilities, all at q cost of

Heavy shades are hot and ill-adapted
to summer weather, but curtain of
green paper muslin drawn across the

- .hch cause more delay
rs. farm work during these
.s of summer, than the gals
- that come upon the shoulders
.Nft,NE backs Of work horses. A vast
Mmount Of hard work must be done,
9s2fld the animals are strong and we'll
= enough to do 1t, provided there were
their applying themselves to the labor.
A morse with shoulder or back gals, or
both, suffers pain when 1t Is put into
the harness. The direct cause OF these
sores Is the friction to which the parts
are subjected, combined with the ex-
oessive heat and great flow of sweat.
Inflammation and chatting of the skin
are produced much more readily In hot
than cold weather, because the condi-
tions of greater friction are then pre-
sent. The preventive is in reducing
the friction to the least possible amount.
In the first place, the harness must fit
horse, that the weight of the load may
be uniformly distributed over the sur
face beneath the harness. Secondly,
the horse should be in a healthy state,
that their muscles and skin may be Of
their normal toughness, and the sweat
Ing not nnnaturally profuse. This in
wolves the proper care and feeding of
the horse. A poorly kept animal, or
one not In good health, will become
sore more readily than one in good
health. When the sores are already
formed, n speedy cure Is tho thing
needed. Sponge carefully the afflicted
parts, to remove all accumulations from
sweat. Then bathe with lotion OF
alum and tannin, with q little lauda-
mum added. AL pressure upon tho
sore should be removed by proper
adjustment of tho harness, and If
necessary, keep tho horse from work
until cured.

Attention has recently been caused BY
some peculiar cases of spontaneous igni-
tion of Hydrogen in air, the phenome-
non having been noticed, it seems, in
factories where quantities Of zinc were
being dissolved in hydrochloric acid for
the preparation of zlnc chloride. Vlo.
lent explosions took place when no
hame was near, and 1t was eventually
thaathe gas took fire spontaneously. 1t is
thought to be caused by fragments of
very porous Zinc which, when lifted
above the surface of the liquid during
the violent evolution Of the gas, and so
brought into contact with hydrogen and
air, act just as spongy platinum would
do under tho circumstances. The per-
tormance OF such operations In the
open air is recommended. The igni-
tion can be shown, according to n.
Hoffman, by treating few kilogram-
mes OF finely divided Zinc with acid;
the zinc dust, he says, may even ignite
by contact with water.
