FUMIGAIISt. PAsT1s.-For the pur-

paper which has been dipped IN solu-
ton of nitre and then dried. This
burns freely without flame, and If it be

however, is pastils. They are easily

PLUSH DRAPED EAsELs.-It is now
the mode in Paris-and followed in
other cities-to drape easels, mirrors
and other accessories to be found in
the fashionabIy furnished drawing
room with plush. The easel is covered
with peacock blue, ruby, gold. blue or
apple green plush-or any color that
contrasts or blends with the room fur
nishings-and ornamented with en-
broidery and fringe. The cord which
holds the draper and the tassels must
be of the same color. Small easels.
intended for holding photo or plaque,
are done in this way: Take long strip
or scarf of plush, knot it round the
upright bar close under the cro>s-piece,
carry it across this bar in front and
make another slip-knot above the cross
piece, letting this piece over the sur
face lie III easy folds; in this way one
long end will fail on the one side Just
below the picture ledge; the other long
end at the opposite side of the easel
ends, just aOove the ledge. Stiffness
must be avoided Ill these draperies.
The cords may be arranged to taste,
but look well when they seem to hold
the slip-knots in position.

A nlethod of bleaching cotton yarn
has lately been introduced in France,
the advantage of which is that uniform
ity is secured, and the article continues
beautifully white in the warehouse,
whether III skeins or textures. The
plan is to let 220 pounds of cotton yarn
be bucked for eight hours in a soda lye
composed of six and one-half pounds OF
crystallized soda and two and one-fourth
pounds of slaked lime. After beng
STEPPED in the bucklng caldron and
washed, the yarn is put into solution of
chloride of lime, and, remaining there
some two hours, goes dIrecl thence to
the diluted sulphuric acid, in which it
remains for twenty minutes. Such a
quantity of yarn requires eleven pounds
of powdered chloride of lime, aud one
and one-sixth part of sulphurIo acid.
After the bleaching, the yarn Is CAREFUL
ly washed IN flowing water, and then
put once or twice into a soap bath con-
tanning two and one-fiith pounds of palm
oil for every 900 pounds of the yarn.
By this means. the Gotten is freed from
the adhering acid, and can then be
sized-warp yarn with thirteen and
one fifth pounds, and wool yarn with
four and two-fifih pounds of staich for
every 800 pounds, with the addition of
some acid-proof ultramarine.

PANEL PICIUREs.-Floral panels are
much used for room decoration, some
times suspended from mirrors, or pic
lures, from height. or standing like
armorial shields at either side of a door
or window. A pretty panel picture
made with trifiing outlay, can be pro-
duced by taking a common slate. First
paint in the background either some
neutral tint or one shaded in color ;
those from dark brown to the hghtest
tint of that color are pretty and effect
i've, using burnt umber and white. Be
careful to shade it as gradually and
evenly as possible. Flowers are the
prettiest designs for panel pictures, a
particular pretty one being composed
of wheat heads, field daisies and wild
roses. Popples, wheat and blue corn
flowers make another equally handsome,
or golden rod and purple chrysanthe-
NUNS make bright and effective PIC
ture; apple blossoms on one and pam
sizes on another also make good COM
panion pictures. The frames may be
painted in some neutral tint or contrast
ing color, or else simply gilded with
liquid gold paint.

Being one of the eldest druggists in this

many people had been benefited by the Use
OF Hunts Remedy, l unheSitatingly began
using it; and after having fully tested its
virtues can say, As many of my customers
have said TO me, SIT is the best mediciae
for kidney and liver complaint ever COM

where it has failed TO benefit and give

kidney and liver complaint give Hunts
Remedy a trial and you will say as do, it
is the best known remedy, and the best is
the cheapest every time. Yours truly,

VALUE OF BEEs.-The great value of
bees TO agriculture has hitherto been
entirely overlooked. A society CT Sax
ony has collected some very important
statistics upon this subject, which are
now made public. The society controls
seventeen thousaod hives, from each of
which ten thousand bees fly ont daily,
This makes total of 170, 900, 0O0 bees.
If it is supposed that each bee under
takes but four journeys per day. and
that this takes place upon only one hum
dred dogs ef the year, then an annual
total of 6S, 600, 100000 bee journeys is
obtained. At the lowest limit probable
the society considers that fifty flowers
are visited on each journey. and that
five out of the fifty ere fertilized. This
gives a grand total OF $40 000, 900 fertil-
Ized flowers yer year. If the value of
fertlhZlBg twenty thousand blossoms be
one cent, tken value OF Sl70.000 is re-
presented by the work done by the bees
of this society, or benefit to agriculture
by each hive Of $40 per annum.

FROM results obtained with various
fertilizlng substances, Professor Atwater
has drawn the following conclusions:
Corn needs little nitrogen besides what
it can draw from natural sources, while
its yield is largely increased under the
influence of mineral lfertilizers-the most
effective being those in which the chief
component is phosphoric acid or potash
according to the soil and the season.
Potatoes respond uniformly to all the
Ingredients, and they are less able than
corn to gather from natural sources.
The same appears to be true for turnips.
Not enough experiments haze been
made with other crops to justify conclu-
sions concerning them. Practically, the
largest average yield for all crops Is Sc
cured by the use Of fel tllizers containing
all the essential elements of plant food.
Used alone, nitrate Of soda is rarely
useful, sulphate OF lime frequently, mu-
riate OF potash very uitei, and the su-
per phOsphates generally. Soils vary
i'll their capacity for conveying food to
crops, and careful observation and ex-
pertinent are necessary to determine
the needs OF a particular soil.

An EXCELLENT HOUSE, PLANT. CHI
nese primrose is one of the best bloom
ing plants we can get for winter flower
ing, both single and double varieties.
They require when growing plenty of
moisture at the roots and shaded from
the direct rays of the sun. When wa
tering, however, do not allow much
water to fall on the leaves, as it is apt
to cause them to rot. A soil suitable
for this plant is sandy loan and good
mixture of leaf mould and thoroughly
rotted manure. Do not put into too
large pots, as the sell is apt to sour be-
fore the roots pass through it sufficiently
to use up the moisture.
