six drops of muriatic acid. The acid is
put in the water before it is poured over
the beef. The mixture is we'll stirred and

should be stirred two or three times
Then strain through strong cloth, not too

MAKING GOLD LACE.-One Of the most
singular mechanical operations imaginable
is the making Of gold wire for what is
known RS gold lace. The rcliner first pre-
pares solid rod of silver about an inch in
thickness; he beats this rod. applies upon
the surface sheet of gold-leaf, Furnishes
this down, and so on, until the gold is
about onc.huudreth part tho thickness Of
the silver. The rod is then subjected to a
train Of processes which brings it down to
the state OF fine wire, when it is passed
through holes in u steel plate lesseninS
step by step in diameter. The gold never
deserts tho silver, but adheres closely to it
and shares all its mutations; it is one
hundreth part the thickness of the silver a
tho beginning. and it maintains tho same
ratio TO tho end. As to the thinncss tC
which the gold coated rod Of silver can b.
brought, tho limit depends on the delicac,
of human skill. 1t has been, calculated
however, that the gold actually placed oil
the very finest silver wire for gold lace i
not more than one-third OF one milliontl
of an inch in thickness; that is, not abov,
one-tenth tho thickness Of ordinary gold

A USEFUL DEvIcE.-A timo and labor
saving invention is to have piece OF sheet
iron nearly the size of the bottom of the
oven, trille smaller, so 1t will slide in
and out without difficulty; have the edges
turned down so that the iron will be slight
" raised from the bottom of the oven.
On this nearly the whole of an ordinary
quantity of cookies can be baked at cnce.
1t is nice also when baking cream pufs,
kisses or lady fingers. When baking the
latter two put white paper on the iron
Have a small hole cut in one side of the
iron SO that it can be hung up.

How Things Look

We think nothing gives one more ade'
quate ideas of the extent of our country
and its resources asriculturally than going
through it in the carly spring.
We left Vermont for the west the third
day Of April, snow lying about and people
trying to sugar some. Coming west, we
soon lost all traces of snow in New York,
and in the southern part the farmers were
blowing. Still further along, in Ohio, the
winter wheat looked up fresh and green,
and apparently with good courage for a
lirst-rate crop. Towards the central part
of the state the peach trees showed their
intensely pink blossoms. and there and in
Indiana they. with the red plum, showed
full blossoms on the Sth, and the apple
trees were green The wheat was six
inches high, so It would wave a little as
the wind swept over it, and was of excel
lent color and good stand
Cattle and sheep were turned out tc
grass, and the pigs were like "grasshop
pers for number" in the fields.
In Illinois and Iowa are still Immense
cribs of uushelled corn, aud to us it seem
ed in large numbers.
Sunday, the 9th, it turned cold and slice
snd snow covered the grouu1 rs far north
as Rock Island and Davenport, and Mon
day was cold and windy, while Monday
night it froze quite hard, ics forming hal
an inch in thickness on standing pools
OF course, if the cold wave extended soutl
far enough to reach the region of formin,
fruit 1t will do great damage.
We overheard two men from Missouri
in the cars Tuesday morning near Chicl
90, as they crept out Of their sleepin
serths and compared notes, saying; e.
the freeze extended to Missouri it wOul
