EsTHETIc TEAS.

Let it not be lightly supposed that an
esthetic tea merely means a few friends, a
little hot water, and some teacups. 1t is a
far more sacred affair-a kind of agape, or
love-feast. 1t is given by the elect to the
initiated, and one discordant element would
break the magic circle The rooms are
always shaded. Darkness seems to cling
as in the Eleusinian mysteries, to the cele-
bration of the mystic revels. Sweet scents,
also, must pervade the air, for smell is the
sense specially cultivated by estheticism !;
the influence OF odors on the nervous sys-
TEN being a branch of physiology highly
interesting to those who have pursued 1t.
Then, again, the tones must be low, sub
dued and sad !; harsh, loud laughter and
very buoyant spirits are vulgar. A
kind of suffering melancholy hangs
over the guests, as if they were
rather assembled to mourn the dead than
rejoice over the living. Music, of course, is
permitted, but it must be of the modern
passionful, ul-stirring, incompre-
hensible; the reciting of Swinburne's or
Rossettis poetry, or even that OF some
aspiring long haired, taper fingered, waxy-
complexioned member Of the party may be
INDUCED in, but the poetry must never in
cline to gaiety or even to satire; it must
be slow, sweet and solemn, ripping over
OF the hearts desire. Some houses there
are OF which the very atmosphere is i'm
pregnated with act unfinished sketches
and old prints litter the tables; an oil
sketch is propped against an easel, before
it stands bunch OF flowers. Every guest
uses expressions stolen from the color box !;
eyes are cobalt, tresses are burnt sienna,
the type of face is Greek or Roman. All
things are classified by technical names,
such as the humblest, sweetest smelling
little flower rejoices in fine Latin appel
lation, and to the gardener is bulbous, or
umbelliferous, or coniferous, rather than
fragrant and lovely. II London World.

applying hot shoe to horses hoof, place

It is alleged that the natural juices of
meats are preserved by an invention of one
of our antipodal competitors of New South
Wales, by covering over with stearine after
cooking by any desired mode and packing in
wooden cases. The flavor is not affected by
the coating, the water is eyaporated, bulk
lessened, and freight thereby reduced. The
stearine is first heated to go degrees.
Professor Wrightson, of Willis and Hants
Agricultural College, England, in a recent
address to the students, said 1.-The farmer
of the future must be a man OF resource {; he
must adapt himself to new circumstances,
and adopt new crops when he finds he is
being undersold. He must look upon the
soil and air as his agents for the production
of animal and vegetable forms, the precise
type of which must depend upon the laws of
supply and demand"

The above is the subject announced by r.
B. Blowers, the successful grape-producer
and raisin maker of Woodland, at the last
meeting of the Viticultural Commission for
discussion at future meeting of the Com
mission. For this meeting and discussion the
time was fixed during the State Fair at Sacra-
mento. Here, then, is an opportunity for
the grape-growers and raisin-makers of the
State to hear an eminently practical and sue
cessful man on a subject of great Importance
to them. Such a discussion by such man
cannot prove otherwise than very interesting
and instructive, and the time and place fixed
will most likely secure a large audience.

portant questions should be settled by the
General Government by the system to be
adopted in the disposition of the land and
the waters in regard to which they are likely
to arise. The more we look into this sub
ject the more importance attaches to it. In
deed the industrial questions arising cut of
the settlement of these vast regions. occupy
ing as they do the center of the continent and
the geographical center of the United States,
are among the most interesting and important
problems of our day.
Production of Cereals.
We had call from Professor William II.
Brewer, of New Haven, Conn, this week.
Professor Brewer was formerly connected
with the California Geological Survey, and is
now special census agent to gather general
and special information relative to the pro-
duction of cereals on the Pacific coast. He
had visited Oregon, Washington Territory
and different portions of California, and was
ready to return East to write up and make
his report to the Census Superintendent. In
addition to a critical examination into the
quantity OF grain produced, the Professor
was charged with a special examination of
the methods of culture, the means adopted
to keep tup the fertility of the soil, the dis
eases of the grains, the modes of harvesting,
thrashing, cleaning and marketing. As the
agent is especially qualified by education and
experience to perform these duties, we shall
look forward to his report with great deal
of interest. From the conversation we had
with him, we shall expect some pretty
severe criticisms Of the systems adopted
by the wheat growers Of California. We
understand the agent to be particularly
favorable to smaller grain farms than he finds
as rule in California. The objection he
hears among large grain farmers as to any
efforts to keep up the fertility of the soil by
utilizing the straw he will probably meet by
proposition to save the straw and feed to
stock, and pasture alternate years, so as to
return to the soil in q condensed form what
they cannot plow under IL its natural condi-
ton. When the large farms are reduced the
reaper and elf-binding harvester may be sub
stituted for the header, and thus, while the
wheat viii be cut before it becomes dead ripe
and loses in weight and quality, as it GER
tainly does from this cause, the straw will
also become good stock feed, and can be
turned into beef and mutton and gain eff
fected which will prove in the end much
greater than the loss on account of additional
expense of harvesting. Then we understand
the agent to make strong point against the
system of handling grain on this coast-in
sacks instead of in bulk. This he considers
great drawback on the profits of grain
raising here, and will probably go into a crit
cal comparison of the expenses of the two
systems of handling grain, and we hope may
be instrumental in bringing about reform
in the direction of greater economy.

STAG GLASS.

The Scotsman OF late issue devotes some
space to an account of the growing indus
trial applications of blast furnace Stag
and we note with interest its references to
the success that has attended the use of
Stag as a glass making material. These
remarks have special reference to the prac-
teal developments of the suggestions made
some years ago to the British Association
for the Advancement of Science by Mr..
Britton. From the Scotsman's references
to the subject we CLEAN some interesting
particulars. 1t is noted that as those slags
which are rich in lime are best adapted for
making cement, so the most siliceous sags,
such as those found in Northamptonshire,
are the best adapted for glass making.
Large glass works for the manufacture of
glass from these slags have been established
at Finedon in that county, with the title OF
Britton's Glass Company. Our contem.
porary notices that one of the important
economic elements in this manufac-
ture is the fact of the considerable fuel
saving in the operation, due to the fact that
the Stag which forms the bulk Of the result
ing product is already in state OF gaseous
fusion. SIT is the utilization of this heat,
quite as much as that of the Stag itself,
that had rendered this manufacture protita-
able" The molten Stag is conveyed (pre
sumably in covered iron vessels mounted
on wheels) to the glass-furnace in the i'm
mediate vicinity, and is poured, after the
addition OF certain necessary glass-making
directly into the " continuous
melting. furnace" where, after proper fu-
sion, it is run into another chamber, from
which it is drawn by the workmen and
fashioned into shapes. The products of
these works comprise chiefly such articles
as wine and beer bottles, which do not re-
quire colorless glass. For the finer quail
tiles of bottle glass, about 80 per cent. of
Stag is used but for the coarser qualities,
a much larger proportion OF this material
is employed, and the glass is said to be
stronger and tougher than that made in
the usual way. The Scotsman concludes
that the properties which this product is
shown to possess render it specially appli-
cable for such objects as tiles, cisterns,
pipes, ETC., and as it can be produced at
cheaper rate, our neighbor thinks it prob
able that slag-glass will yet form one of the |
most important of the many useful pro-
ducts of this hitherto neglected material. |

MORALITY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Super
intendent Peaslee, of Cincinnati, advo-
Gated at the recent meeting of the Ohio
teachers, the incubation of morality in
children, by means of the reading and
memorizing of carefully selected litera-
ture in schools. Heretofore" he said,
"the boys education has been no broader
than his business expectations his happi-
ness as man and his worth as citizen
have not been taken into account. These
principles are too narrow for an age that is
looking for good men, as well as good ac-
countants and grammarians. They are I'M
necessarily narrow. They leave broad
fields of noble soil untitled"
When General Hancock takes up the
Cincinnati Commercial, and reads the fol.
lowing from Rev. Joseph Cook, he will
wish that he had never been born: He
is one OF those ungetable preponder-
osities of luminiferous political firm

of infnitudinal bioplasticity to yield be-
fore the cacchinnation of the imperisaable

a sort of scrap-book of the notable and in.

Frank Moore, of rebellion Record ,

s Co. were the publishere. It's circulation
is said to have been 1000 to S, 1000, which

have been attended with small expense.
Carleton is man who has been in the
habit of making all his enterprises remu-

reputation, and is especially known here as
the sensational publisher He will issue
almost anything that he believes there is
money in, and he has turned the vanity
