Vulcatine,

A Gentleman in the South has discovered
method OF making waterproof any kind
of fabrics, from the finest silk TO the
coarsest canvas, by means of substance
called vulcatine," prepared from the
liquid of milk weed. The Inventor made
the discovery while trying to utilize the
gum of the milk weed for the manufacture
of plates for artificial teeth. The
inventor of vulcatine gave test of
1t in New York recently. The fabrics
shown were delicate colored silks, broad
cloth, leather, silk velvet, cotton and
w0olen goods, and cloths of various kinds,
and then articles such as kid gloves, fine
ostrich plumes, LADIES' boots, ETC. OF the
fabrics experimental on, two pieces were
exhibited, one that had been treated to
bath IN solution prepared from this
vulcatine, and one that had not. IL was
impossible TO distinguish them from each
other in any way, except by plunging
them into water. Then the difference was
startling in the extreme. Pitcher after
pitcher of water was poured over a
piece of pink silk that had been in the
bath, said the inventor, two years ago, and
yet the fibres were untouched by the
moisture, the water ran off as from the
back of a duck, and flap oil two in the
air was sufficient TO remove even the few
drops that rested upon the surface. The
ostrich plumes were dragged through the
water and withdrawn without curl having
been disturbed, and hair frizzes treated in
the same manner came out without the
least change in their appearance. The
action of the solution seems to be sure
to encase every fibre of the material in
film impervious TO water, yet this film is
invisible. The pores of The texture are
not filled up, as is the case with the water
proof goods known heretofore Cashmere
cloth that has been treated with vulcatine
and saturated with water can be dried by
simply pressing it with piece of goods
that retains Its qualities as an absorbent.
The pores of the cloth being left open,
clothing made from it permits just as free
circulation of air as does other cloth,
and the healthfulness of the material Is
unimpaired, rather improved, as the
inventor contends.

Headache and its Cause.

Bilious headache, or such as arise from a
disordered condition of the stomach, usual
ly affects one side of the head only, most
commonly over one eye, and increases to
an acute and often throbbing pain. 1t is
often accompanied with feeling of sickness
and vomiting, producing languor and de-
dression OF spirits. Rheumatic headache
is commonly caused by exposure to cold,
and the pain is of shifting nature, shoot
ing from point to point, and is felt most at
night. All kinds of remedies have been
used for headache. For headache arising
from weak stomach, bitter tonic is us
ually prescribed. Among the favorite med
icines and one that very frequently proves
effective if persevered in a month or two
or three, is ''quassia, the wood and bark
of a plant that grows in some parts of
South America, and was prescribed by a
negro as specific. The chips are soaked
in water, and few slips of the bitter water
are taken three or four times day.

There was no mistaking the costume, and
the fact that the venerable dame led
small boy by the hand, confirmed the mn
preston that Mrs. Parhngton was indeed
IN the assemblage. There was momen-
tarv lull in the buzz of conversation, and
the party gathered around the new conner,
eager to shake her by the hand. ''Bless
mel" said she, with a beaming smile,
which played over her face like sunshine
over lake: "Bless mel how salutary you
all arel-just as you ought to be at time
like this, when nothing harmonious should
be allowed to disturb your hostiities. You
are very kind, I'm sure, and l am glad to
see you trying to enjoy yourselves. We
had no church sociables in my young days,
but we had huskin' bee, and quiltin' bees,
and apple bees, and" "Bumble-bees,
said Ike, breaking in like boy on thin ice
-'tand though we had good times, and
sociable enough, goodness knows, when
the red ears were found, they were moth
ing to the superfuity of this" Taere was
a slight disturbance In the circle, as Ike In
restlessness placed his heel on circumja-
cent toes but it was stilled as the master OF
ceremonies came up to introduce the min
lister, 81 hope you may find the hour
spent with us happy one" 81 know

pends very much on how we enjoy our
selves, and enough of anything always sat

myself in scene of such life and animosity
as this ?" Every true madam" 'And
then the lights, blazing like consterna-
ton, and the music and flowers make 1t
seem like Pharaoh land" The minister
was called away and the master of cere-
monies asked Mrs. Partington if she would
like Gan lce," which she family heard.
"a NIECE" she replied, looking at him
and hanging on to the long, as if it
were the top bar of gate; ''oh, very" A
rush, by the contestanents in game, here
broke in between them, the band gave a
crash which seemed to start the roof, the
mass of people waved to and fro, Ike
started off with new crony in quest of
some suggested peanuts, and Mrs. Par
tIngton backed into seat. She looked
pleasantly upon the moving spectacle
through her own parabolas, her fingers beat
time to the music, and her oil-factories in
hailed the breath of flowers and the smell
of coffee from an adjacent room, till she
was becoming 'flost," when she realized
that figure was standing before her, and
cold spoon was beng thrust into her
right hand. 1t was the attentive manager,
again, with an ice-cream which he invited
her to take. ''You are very surprising
sir" said she, smiling. 81 vas uncon-
scionable at the moment. Thank you;
will. am very partially fond of ice-
cream, and this is MANILA, too, which is
my favorite." She ate with sense of en-
joyment caught with the scene and went
away soon after, when Ike had Joined her,
with plethora pockets, bidding the mana
ger convey good night from her to the
party, saying she had enjoyed real socia-
BILE time.

Education isat last beginning to reach the
kitchen. Cooking schools are springing up
in many places in this country, and the
Scotch and English are taking the lead in
organizing them as part of their national
and common school system. We abound
In female seminaries and female colleges,
high schools and normal schools, in which
everything under heaven Is studied except
that practical art which is a daily and vital
necessity in all the households of the land.
Our kitchens are the fortified entrenchments
of ignorance, prejudice, irrational habits,
the rule of thumb and mental vacuity
and the result is that Americans suffer be-
yond any other people from wasteful, un-
healthful, unpalatable and monotonous
cooking. We have long professed to be-
lieve in the potency of education, and have
not been slow to apply it to all other inter-
ests and industries excepting only the fun
damental art of preparation, of food to
sustain life, which involves more of econ
omy, enjoyment, health, spirit and power
of effective labor than any subject taught
in our schoolA

Espied a nest but half concealed
BY grasses overgrown,
And from within the moss.rimmed cut
A pretty speckled egg peeped up,
Looking forlorn, alone
The timid creature, fearing i'll
Might harm the egg, already chill.
BY generous impulse stirred,
Slipped quietly upon the nest,
And folded close against her breast
The cradle OF bird.
She watched and fed the mes ling small,
And blithely answered TO its call.
AS il it were her own;
From many Of her ways beGuiled
Because of this peculiar child
Upon her bounty thrown.
When she believed 'twould tiptoe out,
And roam the harvest fields about
Or join the partridge throng,
Behold. it poised its wings, aud few
Up towards the heavens 80 bright and blue
In ecstasy Of song.
The fostar-mother looked and heard
The carol OF enfranchised bird
And felt blissful thrill,
That she, so humble and 80 PLAN,
Had helped another one to gain
The niche twas meant to fill.
And often may the lowly heart,
Performing well noble part
To one amid lifes throng,
Awaken with glad surprise.
When, like lark, the birdling flies.
And floods the world with song
