Seasoning Food.

Many people have the idea thar finely
Favored dish must cost great deal that
is mistake. II you have untainted meat
or sound vegetables, or even Indian meal
to begin with, you can make it delicious
with proper seasoning. One reason why
French cooking is much nicer than any
other is that it is seasoned with every va
riety of herbs and spices. These cost very
little. IF you buy few cents worth at a
time you will soon have very good assort-
ment. The best kinds are sage, thyme,
sweet majoranl, tarragon, mint, sweet basil,
parsley, day leaves, cloves, mace, celery seed
and onions. If you wish to plant the seed
of any of these first seven mentioned in
little boxes on your window sill, or in any
sunny spot in your yard, you can generally
raise all you need. Gather and dry them
as follows: Parsley and tarragon should be
dried in June and July, just before flower
ing; mint in June and July !; thyme, mar
ioram and sayory in July, August and
September; all herbs should be gathered
in the sunshine, and dried by artificial
heat. Their flavor is best preserved by
keeping them in air tight tin cans, or in
tightly corked glass bottles

Mr.. Seth Green says that one morning
when he was watching a spiders nest, Il
m,Ml-wasp alighted within an inch or two
of thenest, on theside opposite the opening.
Creeping noiselessly around towards the
entrance to the nest, the wasp stopped a
little short of it, and for moment, remain
cd perfectly quiet. Then reaching out one
of his antenne, he wriggled it before the
opening, and withdrew it. This overture
had the desired effect; ior the oOss OF the
nest, as large a spider as one generally sees,
came out to see what was wrong, and set
it to rights. No sooner had the spider
emerged to that point at which he was at
the worst disvantage, than the wasp, with
aquick movement, thrust his sizing into the
body of his foe. killing him easily and al
most instantly The experiment was re-
peated, on the part OF the wasp; and when
there was no response from the inside, he
became satisfied, probably, that he held the
fort At all events, he proceeded to enter
the nest and slaughter the young spiders,
which were afterwards lugged off one ut q
time Eaft

PAPER PULP FROM PINE LEAVES This
invention relates to method of treating
pine leaves for the purpose of converting
them into pulp for the manufacture ola
strong and superior paper by exposing the
pine leaves to the action Of steam under
pressure. The pine leaves are put into a
steam-tight vessel, which, at its lower part
communicates with steam-supply pipe,
and at its upper part with worm, similar
to still. Access to the worm is shut off,
and steam admitted into the closed vessel
so as to expose the tibres to the effect of
the steam under pressure, and also to its
moisture and heat. The steam serves, by
its heat and pressure, to soften the fibres
and to expcl all resinous, oily, spurious
and other matter from their pores, and to
vaporize such matter but leaves the fibres
intact. When the fibres are properly soft
ened and liberated from their original con-
tents, the passage to the worm is opened,
so that the vaporized substances may escape
for purposes Of distillation. The tibres are
now removed from the vessel or tank, and
worked into pulp i'll the manner in which
vegetable tibres are usually worked into
pulp for making paper, papier-macho, or
the like The pulp may be bleached by
means of suitable chemicals.

Popular Science Notes.

II is stated that the soft bluest0ne rock
which underlies wide part of the prairie
region of Texas, is fully six hundred feet
thick in many places.
Ernest Rcnan, writing from the region
of the Nile, claims to have discovered
little model Of a sewing machine, supposed
to have been made over six thousand years
ago, by an Egyptian, named Zynger.
In many parts of southern Europe
flour is made from chestnuts, which is said
not only to be cheaper, but fully equal to
wheat l1our in the m.iking of breads. A
writer from that country states that in
some places wheat -four and corn meal are
entirely superseded by this product, which
is very nourishing, and can be saved two
years or longer without injury.
The largest grain elevator in the world
is at Jersey City, erected by the Pennsyl-
vania railway company. 1t is 145 feet wide,
POO feet long, and hasa capacity for storing
100000 bushels of grain. The building
has twenty-tour sets of elevating apparatus
for taking grain from cars, and four "con-
veyors" run from the building to the wharf
for unloading canal boats and loading ships.
In the excavations made for the WIDEN
ing of the bed Of the Tiber, many interest
ing archaeological discoveries, in the way
of Roman relics, were made. A perfect
statue Of Il Roman matron was found, and
close by, another statue of Tiberius, the
latter being broken in several places. Urns,
decorated with reliets Of fruits and flowers,
of fine workmanship, and many other
articles, unique and ancient were also dis
covered.
According to Professor Tyndall's defin-
ton, the brain is the organized register of
infinitely numerous experiences received
during the evolution of life, or rather dur
ing the evolution Of that series OF organ
ism through which the human organism
has been reached the effect of the most
uniform and frequent of these experiences

to that high intelligence which lies latent
in the brain of the infant.
The important work of connecting the
system Of triangulaton, covering western
Europe and Northern Africa, was success
fully consummated, by powerful electric
lights being placed at a high elevation
on mountains of the British Islands,
France, Spain and Algeria. Thus these
countries were united into one grand sys-
TEN Of triangles, reaching from the Sahara
to the northermost of the Shetland Islands,
giving meridian arc of 81 degrees, the
greatest hitherto measured on the earth.
The result of experiments extending
through a period Of two months on the
influence OF the electric light on the growth
Of plants, has been reported to the Royal
Society Of London. 1t is shown that plants
do not require any rest during the twenty
four hours, but that their growth may be
materially quickened by giving them the
beneft of the electric light at night. A
light equal to 1000 candles, at distance
of 6 or feet from the growing plants, APP
peared to be equal in effect to average day.

The Red Spider.


This is n minute insect, Of bright red
color, very common and injurious to house
plants, its presence being a sure indication
of too dry an atmosphere for the health of
the plants. The leaves Of q plant attacked
by it turn whitish or yellowish in spots,
and are covered, especially on the under
side, with the fine whitish webs Of the
spiders, causing them to wither and fall
of. Swinging and sponging the plants
thoroughly in every part with water will
usually destroy them, unless they are badly
infested, in which case a little -four Of
sulphur added to the water or busted over
the plants will prove effectual. The pansy
is about the only thing that is ever infest-
ed by it in the garden, whole beds Of which
are sometimes destroyed il, very dry sea-

How 10 Make u POulticc.

DR.. Brunton, in Brain, the new London
periodical, gives the following useful hints
on this subject: The common practice of
making poultices by mixing linseed meal
with hot water and applying it directly to
the skin is quite wrong because if we do
not wish to burn the patient we must wait
until Il great portion of the heat has been
lost. The proper method is to make o
flannel bag, the size fthepoultice required,
to fill this with the linseed poultice, as hot
rs it can possible be made, and to put be-
tween this and the skin second flannel,
so there shall be at least two thickneeses
of flannel between the skin and the pOul-
tice itself. Above the poullice should be
placed more flannel, or piece Of cotton
wool, to prevent it from getting cold. BY
this method we are able to apply the lin
seed meal boiling hot, without burning the
patient, and the heat, gradually diffusing
through the flannel, affords grateful sense
Of relief which cannot be obtained by other
means. There are few VS. in which such
marked relief is given to abdominal pain,
as by the application of a poultice i'll this
manner.

Future OF Our Country,


From the London Telegraph, May 10, 1880.
When, in 1876, thcthirtcen North Amer
lean colonies put forth that Declaration of
Independence which preluded the birth of
q nation, the combined white population
inhabiting them did not exceed 2,5OO,OOO
souls. Yet they had the courage to throw
down the gage frbattle TO Power with
which, in Daniel Webster's words. "tor
purposes Of foreign conquest and subjuga-
ton, Rome, in the height of her glory, was
not to be compared; u Power which has
dotted the surface Of the whole globe with
her possessions and military posts, whose
morning drum beat, following the sun and
keeping company with the hours, circles
the earth with one continuous and un-
broken strain of martial airs of England"
Fourteen years later came, in 1890, the
first census Of population taken in the
United States, and it was found that with
in the borders of the young nation there
were not quite 100000 souls. At the ex-
piration Of ten years it appeared, upon
taking the second census, that the popula-
ton was u little more than 5,25O,OOO, hay-
ing increased between 1890 and $500 at the
rate Of IS per cent. In short time the
tclUll CclIStlS Vi WIluU HIS DcCOulc IL mighty
people will DC taken, ana we risk little in
sayingthat, in Joseph Hume's phrase, "the
tottle of the whole. Will show population
of at least 50OOO,O00 especially if the emf
grants who are now pouring into the United
States i'll vast numbers are not omitted
from the calculation. In other words, the
population of the great Republic i'll 1880
will be their population i'll 1776 multiplied
by twenty, and, were it likely that the
same ratio of increase could be maintained
for another century, the mind of man
would sink before the effort of imagining
what it is possible for the monster Repub-
lie to be in 1880. However bOundless the
resources OF the North American continent
may be, it can hardly be expected that the
second centenary of the United States will
he celebrated by n thousand million hui
man beings, and yet such would be the re-
suit Of multiplying 5OO00,UO0 by twenty.
Anyhow, 1t is certain that century hence
no such assemblage of men speaking the
same language and amenablc to the same
general traditions of feeling, habit and
education, will ever have gathered together
upon earth as will then occupy the great
Western Continent.

Our Bodies After Death.

Within a very near approach to truth,
the human family inhabiting the earth has
been estimated at I ,OOO, 100000; the annual
loss by death is 1e,000,O00. Now, the
weight of the animal matter of this i'm
mense body cast into the grave is no less
than 634 900 tons, and its decomposition
produces 9,OOO,OOO,OO0,OOO cubic feet of
matter. The vegetable productions of the
earth clear away from the earth the gases
thus generated, decomposing and assimilat-
ing them for their own increase. This cir
Gle Of changes has been going on ever since
man became an occupier Of the earth. He
feeds on the lower animals and on the
seeds of plants, which in due time become
a part of himself. The lower animals feed
upon the herbs and grasses, which, in their
turn, become the animal; then, by its
death, again pass into the atmosphere, and
are ready once more to be assimilated by
plants, the earth or bone substance alone
remaining where it is deposited.
