A pretty sachet for perfumery is made

Lands?" is a question that is asked by
correspondent. Doubtless one way to
do this is to avoid doing the work which
has made your hands rough and dark,
but often this work may be done with
such care that the hands will not be
injured. If one is obliged to sweep her
house, to empty tn, ashes from CRATE
or stove, and to wash dishes, she can
not expect to keep her hands as white
as idle hands are, but if she takes the
precausion TO put on a pair Of old
gloves or mittcns, when she sweeps or
is doing dusty work, one cause of rough
skin will be removed. Then there are
preparations which one may use pow
dcrel borax is excellent to soften the
skin. A mixture which is sail to be a
sure cure for undue perspiration of the
hands is made of quarter of an ounce
Of powdered alum, the white of one egg.
and enough bran to make thick paste
after washing your hands apply this;
let it remain on your hands for two or
three minutes, and then wipe of with
soft, dry towel. Lukewarm water is
better than hot or cold if the skin is
inclined to be tender or to chap.
A brief note in q medical contempo-
rary very seasonably directs attention to
an important subject which is, as a
rule, too much overwhelmingly, the
weight of women's clothes, 1t is un-
doubtedly a fact that during cold wealth
er wa NTH is frequently sought by piling
on additional garments; and the weight
OF these is sometimes simply enormous
Very erroneous views are still unfortu-
nately prevalent as to the true means Of
keeping the body warm. The tempera-
ture of the body is the result of chemi'
cal changes constantly taking place. A
person is hot or cold as the heat thus
naturally developed is keptin. Clothing
is of value as it helps to retain the heat.
Fur and wool are OF use because Of the
amount tf air which they entangle,
which becomes heated by the body, and
very slowly imparts its heat to the sur
round ng atmosphere. The true rational
method therefore of combating the win
ter is to select warmer underclothing
rather than heavy dresses and cloaks. 1t
cannot be too widely known that sin.
gle additional complete covering OF
loosely woven flannel is far warmer and
infinitely lighter than heavy petticoat
or a mantle with quilted lining.

Gold Storage.

New York is a great apple market, and
exported 100000 barrels OF apples in
1880. Since the invention of cold stor.
age it has not beer unusual for heavy
dealers to brig large lots of choice
apples to the city, keep them i'll the cold
warehouses, ard sell them in the spring
at high prices. A large transaction in
apples, which was novel in commercial
lawsuits, was decided in court. The
suit was brought by He ermance, Dickin.
son & Co., proprietors OF cold storage
warehouse, against Austin Kimball IL
Co., dealers in apples and other produce,
for violation of contract to store ap'
pies.
The contract was made in October
1880, and provided that the defendants
should store 5000 barrels of choice ap.
pies for Kimbali x Co., at fifty cents Il
barrel from Move nber, 1881, to May,
1882, It was specified that the temper
ature in the warehouse should be kept
at $50 to 4Oo and uniform. Kimball
& Co. began putt g in apples which
they had bought on the 'hores of Lake
Champlain. Between Nov. 7 and Nov.
IA. 1881, they put in 1869 barrels. Then
L. G. Kimball, the senior member OF the
firm, notified the warehouse men that
he was net satisfied with the way the
apples were handled or the temperature
of the storage warehouse. Finally
Kimball & Co. refused to store any
more apples under the contract, and
began to draw ont those already stored.
All but 800 barrels were withdrawn by
March /.
The warehouse men sued for the cost
of storing the remainder of the 600O
barrels which Kimball Il Co. refused to
send. Tue case was tried before Chief
Justice Shea aud a jury and occupied
about week. When the jury retired
they stood 10 to 2 for the d PENDANTS.
They returned and told the court that
they could not agree. Then the judge
ordered them to be locked up again,
and they rendered n sealed verdict in
favor of Kimb Ill e Co.

Fighting ScOtchmen.

The Morskoi Sbornik, the monthly
journal of the Russian ministry of
marine, has commenced publishing the
history of the Russian fleet under the
administration of Admiral Greig. This
is the famous Scotch admiral who de-
veloped and commanded the fleet Of
which Gibbon wrote in his history,
"sailed from the Baltic, circumnavigat-
ed the continent of Europe entered the
Mediterranean by the Straits of Gibral-
tar, and carried terror to the gates of
C)nstautinople." The fleet consisted
of two squadrons, the FIRST composed of
ten line of.battle ships, four frigates,
and number of transports, and the
second of five line-of.battle ships and
two frigates. Aided by Admiral Ell
ohinstone, Lieutenant Dugdale, and a
aumber of other Scotch officers, Greig
completely destroyed the Turkish fleet
in the Bay of Tchesme, July 8, ITO,
and afterwards remained year trium-
lohant in Turkish waters. At the close
of his operations his feet consisted of
sixteen line-of.battle ships, twenty three
frigates, three galliots, nine polacres,
nineteen xebecs, nine brigantines, and
sixteen sloops in all, ninety. five sail.

In the hands OF careful persons breed
ing turkey is very profitable, but it is
absolute, y essential to success that they
have plenty Of range. Unlike other
poultry, turkeys require perfect liberty,
and cannot brook conlin.ment. On
grass aud grain farms raising cannot
help but be profitable, for they have
plenty of ground to st.oll over, and
there is but little they can iujure, while
they help materially in keeping down
countless numbers Of injurious insects.
On fruit farm, whore grapes, strawber,
ries, ETC., are grown, turkeys, ducks,
geese and chickens are all destructive
to fruit, unless kept within prescribed
limits. Many farmers wife and daugh'
ters, too, know that most o, their Christ
mas money depends on rearing a large
flock of turkeys, and there are many
others who raise Il flock each year. In
commencing, get pair Or trio of Tic
best, irrespective of breed, though the
bronze breed seems to be the leading
ar most popular one, and descryedly
so, for they are hardy, grow to large
size, and invariably command paying
prices. Young turkeys are very hardy
after they get full dress-suit OF feath-
ers, but arc very frail and tender before
that time, requiring great care in feed
ing and housing, dampness being fatal
to them then.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


Frozen roots, or, indeed, frozen food
of any kind, is very pernicious to swine
and all other stock, as it is apt to scour
them badly, and in any event distulb5
their digestion and renders the other
food taken into the stomach less nutri-
tious to the animal,
A new cattle disease in Europe caused
by inmate fungus, manitehs itself by
great enlargement and. induration, as
vel as liberation of the tongue. 1t also
attacks the bones of the face and jaws,
appears inside and outside the throat in
the iorm OF tumors, and is very destrHc.
tive, especially among young stock.
Every farmer who has any mechanical
genius should have some place where i'll
rough or stormy weather he can go in
and make such repairs on his farm i'm
plements as his knowledge of mechanics
will enable him to do we'll. If the farm
be large and the farmer skillful, it pays
to have n small building by itself, where
not only carpenters tools are to be
found, but also q blacksmith's forge,
with few of the most important tools.
The old practice of feeding COWS every
three hours, giving the last feed just
before retiring at night has been very
generally abandoned. Now the most
successful farmers feed only morning
and night. The whole morning Or even.
ing feed is not put before them at ore
time, because experience has taught
that it is best to put before COW but a
small quantity at one time, adding more
as soon as it is eaten up, so that the
morning and evening meals are made up
of several small feeds, perhaps of differ
ent materials.
In setting hens, it is very important
to provide dry earth, or some good sub
stitute, in the bottom of the box or
barrel. Quantities of chickens are
counted on that never hatch, every
spring, for want of little common
sense in this very thing. a simple nest
of hay Or shavings ON the bare floor will
not answer. The hen who steals her
nest knows how to do it, and hatch ten
out of every dozen eggs. Provide some
thing to hold the heat under the eggs
while the hen leaves the nest to feed,
and make it easy for the hen to supply
her want without absenting herself too
long from the nest.

Among the articles which English
men are glad to import from this coun-
try is sweet cider. Within the last
three or four years a large trade has
sprung up between New Yorkand Liver
pool, and a dozen merchants handle
American cider in bulk. In Great
Britain, English cider, made mostly in
Devoushire, brings less price than the
American. Some cider also goes to
France, but Frenchmen are not so fond
of it as the English. The pressing
is all done by steam in October, Novem.
ber and December. The apples used
are mostly OF the uhgraited kind, and
are ell perfectly sound; otherwise tho
flavor of the cider would be impaired.
Last season more !han $50, 900 bushelJ
of apples were crushed, and the product
was %, 600 barrels of cider. The juice
is allowed to ferment until it reaches q
certain stage, and is then filtered
through sand to clean it thoroughly. II
is drawn off in large va's, and is kept
until it is wanted for barreliug. Tho
barrels are bunged very tightly, and the
cider keeps without change for two or
three years. Any stock which becomes
soured by age is made into vinegar, and
sells for three-fourths of the price OF
cider.
