PARIS, April 10 The Cabinet Council
has approved the scheme IF M. DeLesseps
for cutting canal through the neck of
land dividing the Gulf of Gabes from the
salt marshes and low-lying parts OF the
Desert of Sahara to the south of Tunis. 1t
is expected that the sea will, in virtue of
this cutting, once more fill up the Sahara.
The political advantage to be obtained by
the scheme will be in the situation of Tuuis
and Algeria by creating a water barrier be-
tween them and Tripoli. The cost of the
canal, it is estimated. will be sos 900, 900.

Soft Soap by the Cold Process.

"B. F. j." in the Country Gentleman, says I:
For barrel of cold-made soft soap,
take twelve pounds of potash, fourteen
pounds of grease and thirty-two gallons OF
soft water. Procure forty-gallon cask,
with soft wood slaves and wooden hoops,
and place in it the potash, first broken into
pieces the size of an egg; add twenty gal
Ions of water, and stir with wooden
plunger two or three times a day until the
potash is dissolved; then melt the grease in
the remaining twelve gallons Of boiling
water, and pour into the cask, and stir two
or three times daily. If made in midsum-
mer, the conversion of the materials into
soap will be completed in week or ten
days, but in cooler weather longer time
will be necessary, and at the freezing point
the chemical action would be nearly sus-
pended. Soft soap made according to these
directions resembles in consistence cold
jelly more than anything else; its color on the
smooth settled surface being that Of finished
bird's-eye maple, with eyes plain to sight.
1t will not faint in the hottest weather, OF
separate, but remains fixed until consumed.
If those having grease accumulated, and are
doubtful about the strength of the lye re-
sulting from the wood ashes they have saved
for the occasion, will procure the true pot
ash of commerce, they will find such course
the cheapest and the best way. But word
of caution-be sure it is the true potash Of
commerce. That put up in tin or sheet-iron
cases is not potash at all, and will not do

The Leading-StrIngs Fallacy.

From the moment child is born he is
treated on the principle that all his instincts
are essentially wrong, that nature must be
thwarted and counteracted in every possible
way. He is strapped up in contriyance
that he would be glad to exchange for
straitjacket, kept for hours in a position
that prevents him from moving any limb of
his body. His first attempts at locomotion
are checked, he is put in leading strings, he
is carefully guarded from the outdoor
world, from the air that would invigorate
his lungs, from the sports that would de
velop his muscles. Hence, the peevishness,
swkwardness and sickliness of our young
aristocrats. Poor people have no time to
initiate the absurdities OF their wealthy
neighbors, and their children profit by what

our youngsters in the same way, only sub

clover field, and moreover they would after

Muck.

The farmers in the agricultural papers,
reused up DIR. Nichols denunciation OF
swamp muck as "not manure" are all
one way, and (with the exception OF here
and there an editor, with no practical expert
ence and great reverence for SCIENCE" who
rides the fence), both correspondents and
contributors declare the value of muck as a
fertilizer. These declarations are based on
long continued practical experience, and
upon results as plain and convincing as those
produced by the application of any other fer
tilizer whatever, not excepting stable ma
nure. From this cloud of witnesses we
quote the last years experience of a Fays-
ton farmer who tried muck alongside of
yard manure and hog manure in piece Of
corn. We quote from his report in the YER
mont Farmer: Now for the result. The
corn came up in five days, and looked stout,
with very dark green appearance, there
being no perceptible difference in the ap-
pearance of the piece. AT the end of two
weeks after planting, the geese pulled the
row upon which only guano had been used,
so am unable to give the result of clear
guano. On the 9th of September the piece
was harvested, and my doubling neighbor,
who helped to plant, happened to pass when
/ was cutting the corn and examined the
piece, and said that it did not seem possible
that muck could produce such corn. In
fact, there was no difference in the whole
piece. 1t certainly was the best piece OF
corn had on the farm,-there were sixty
bushel baskets heaped full of sound corn OF
the piece, (ffty-seven rods). Now DIR. Mich

Electricity and Swarming Bees.

From the London Times we learn that
among the many unexpected develop
ments of electrical science is an application
to the hiving of bees when they swarm, sue
cessfully tried by German experimenters.
1t was thought that by utilizing the electric
force the bees might be stupeied for the
necessary period of time without being in
jured, and the result proved the correctness
of the idea. The first attempt was made
upon bees that had gathered upon trees, the
insects falling upon the ground in kind of
trance which admitted of their being safely
handled. The next stage in the experiment
was to capture the bees when they were
about to swarm. By introducing the ends
Of two connecting wires into a fully occu-
pied honeycomb, and turning on the cur
rent, the bees were rendered inactive for
about thirty minutes, while no bad results
appeared to follow their awakening"

Judges at English Fairs.

Ex-Govonor Proctor, who is on his travels,
contributes some interesting letters to the
Rutland Herald, from one of which we take
the following paragraph in regard to the
judges at the last Smithfeld cattle show ::
1.-THE judges are for the most part practical
farmers-not title among them, though
there are many among the exhibitors. The
titled exhibitors, however, did not seem to
have had average success in winning prizes,
and one could not help suspecting that
the sturdy farmers on the committees had a
little point of honor and Independence to
maintain. For example, the queen though
showing good animals and evidently not
having been short of feed, out of exhibits in
six classes Of cattle, received only three pre-
minms. and these all of the third or lowest
money class, and one simple commendation.
Her Cheviot and black-faced mountain
sheep Jared little better, but her three ex-
hibits of pigs only won single commend
alton. She hardly got money enough to
pay the bare cost of bringing them up from
her Windsor and Balmoral farms, but it is
earnestly to be hoped the good woman will
not get discouraged, but continue her efforts
in the agricultural line."

Not for Sensitive Husbands.

but men would be the last persons to read

was prosperous, and whose wife had worked
early and late, as perhaps only farmers

to the prosperity. When it was suggested
that her shawl was shabby, he coolly said
"Wife, do get new shawl, for it looks as

no harm. 1t was only habit he had. More
than one woman has said, as one said to me
and she had even luxury about her-"Pd

that was my very own" Are men thought
less, or worse2 There was one woman who
had little money which her father had
given her to be reserved for some case of
need. 1t was especially set aside, and there
was enough and to spare; for on her side
she had contributed to the capital of pros
porous business. One day her husband
asked her for this money and she gave it to
him, and that was the end of it. He never
dreamed of restoring it--or perhaps could
not. And there are people who would see
no injustice in this) Or another woman
who had little money, special legacy
from friend, quite outside of any family
interest. 1t was a satisfaction to have a lit
| tie fund, and TO deny herself if she chose to
| give it away. One day her husband, know
ing of her little private bank account, asked
her for check, and at another time for an
other. She waited, and there was no return.
She spoke of it, and the careless answer
was, "Oh, you can always have money when
you want it" (Which wasn't true). So,
weary and discouraged, she closed her bank
account and shut up her soul. They were
rich and spent money freely, and her bills
could always be paid, but her own was gone

correspondent says as rule, women are
more careful in their expenditures than

are both men and women who waste money ;
but if woman either knows how much she
has to spend, or can have the benefit Of any
saving, she will, as a rule be as faithful to
her trust as any man. In "the good time

things. Their present course, with excep-
