Silk Patch Work.

The mania for silk quilts does not
abate. Quilts of every pattern aud de-
sign are made. The crazy quilts are,
however. perhaps the most popular.
1h,s kind of work is not only used for
quilts but for many handsome table
covers, and sofa cushions are made of it.
1t has grown to be quite an art to collect
the most beautiful pieces Of silk ofevery
description, harmonic the different
coloIs in putting them together. and en-
brolder them with innumerahle stitches
OF every conceivable shape and size.
Pleces OF embroidered neck-ties. scraps
OF plush and richest embosse l velvets
are all made use of in this curious work.
1"hte covers and smaller articles made
III this way are quite within the reach of
everyone, but to undertake large Quilt
requires time and money to complete it
satisfactorily. A novel wav of procuring
one easily IS to make 1t Il kind Of album
quilt. A lady DESTROYS Of having a quilt
presses her friends into service and in
vltes each one to make her a block of
the required size, usually twelve incoes
square. AS each lady has but one block
to make. and that for friend, she, of
course, uses the choicest pieces she can
procure, decorates it as beautifully rs
she can, working her initials in one cor.
ner Of the block. All are at last collect
ed and made up with 6! handsome lining.

Cutting Timbers.

An expert OH the subject of timber
says that cutting should DO done "dur-
ing the fall of the sap. When young
leaves and fruit are forming the cap is
rising. AS soon as the leaves are fully
formed and the fruit changes color, or
in the case of pines the cone becomes
ripe, then is the time to commence felt
ing, and continu, doing so until the
leaf buds begin to form again. Tie ris-
ing of the sap softens the timber, which.
il 'el'cd when full Of sap, is apt to split
in seasoning. Resinous woods, such as
pine, form by the emulation OF resin at
their ends, iilm which prevents the
escape ofsap, hence it is best to strip the
b"rk from pine logs as soon as feiled.
In the case of hard woods it is best to
quarter the logs through the center, as,
if left entire. the are apt to split radial.
ly along the medullary rays. In the case
OF hard woods, if the size required will
not admit of quartering, it is advisable
to strip off the bark and smear the cut
ends with COW manure. This, if left on
for a few weeks, effectualy prevents
splitting. The superiority of timber cut
in season over that cut out of season will
mako ample amends for any loss of time
occasioned by carving out the practice
Systematically"

been done with the bride whom 1 have

the usual incentive for thus retarding
her apparent growth from childhood to
womanhood. Two older sisters wished
to matrimonially place themselves before
their ages were emphasized by the
youngest daughter becoming an adult.
Why, remember that one evening ut a

The Houses Of ENGLAND.

How many years, asks the English
journal, Land. must elapse before the
entire surface of Great Britain shall be
covered with houses? Forty years ago
we built 10000 hous es per annum iu
Great Britain; now We build more than
$4,000. During the last forty years We
have erected two and quarter millions
of houses, which are ESTIMATED to be
worth doubleIhc amount of the national
debt" 1t would be interesting 10 inquire
how many of these dwellings will be in
existence or in habitable condition at
the end Of another forty years? The
great bulk of the new houses built in
England are in The suburbs of London,
although, as the metropolis is at present
more extensively overbuilt than it has
been for several years, the number will
no DOUBT be considerably reduced dur
ing the the next year or two. London
houses, it is notorious, are taken all
round, the worst built in this island. 1t
is probable enough, therefore, that
quite one half the dwellings which are
built in Great Britain every year will
not he in existence half century after
their completion.

of Q fashionable church was no longer

their stockinged display, there was q
charming disclosure of bare arms that
were far more plump and tapering than
anybody had expected, and as fair as
eighteen years sec'usion could make

Relation Of Clothing to Bodily

The thinnest veil is vestment IL the

series Of stages, or by providing relays.
The linen, the ordinary dress, and the
cloak constitute for US so many artificial
ep;dermises. The heat that leaves the

more slowly in proportion as they are
poorer conductors; reaching the surface.
it escapes, but without making us feel
