SAFE WASHING OF wINDOwS.-Mrs.
James is perfecting patented window
washer, which promises to be the de-
sired invention for cleaning the outer
sashes of windows without sitting out
on the sill, at imminent risk of falling
backward into the street. 1t consists
of long, slender handle of wood and
metal, hollow, which is SO curved as to
brlug a square of rubber directly
against an outer pane Of glass. A
sponge IS fastened by rubber band
to this square. The curved handle and
the readily attached sponge, which,
with the firm corners of the rubber,
are to do the cleaning, constitute the
real merit of the invention, as they
really are only ike the bent and
heightened arm of the window washer
herself. An attachment is made to the
upper section of the holder of a rubber
syringe tube, an end of which Is to be
dipped into bucket or basin, and by
a touch will supply to the sponge all
the water that Is needed for the wln-
dow cleaning, so that 1t need not be
drawn in again to the room until the
work is complete. The inventor Is, We
understand, about having the entlle
implement made in papier mache, which
is extremely light, and can be made
into a tube as well as INTO a washbasin.
In her first completed model the handle
was of ash, hard wood being neces-
sary to make the tubing required and
for window washers who like a stout
implement this does very well. Every
ounce that is taken off brush-handle,
however Is of importance to some peo-
pie, 20 that III either form window
washing ought to be safely and quickly
accomplished by this means. A chamois
cloth or any pollsher can be fastened
upon the rubber back in the same way
as the sponge is.

WE have time and again written
against the folly of dairymen trying to
fatten their cd COWS at profit. 1t
cannot be done, and if any farmer wish
es to Try it let him have them at any
price. If man has more grass or other
iced than he knows what to do with let
him buy some likely young steers and
make money with them instead of vast
his time and feed on the remains of an
old COW. The ProUisiOner, of England,
on this subject says: ''Old animals can
seldom be fattened at a profit. even if
their flesh was as valuable as that of
younger ones, because it requires so
much more time and feed to do it. 4"
What We particularly ohiest to in old
cows for fattering is the immense pro-
portion of offal III them. A pot-belly
makes no beef.

THERE are many degrees OF feedlng,
such as poor feeding, good feeding high
feeding and over-feeding. High feed
ing can only be indulged in with young
ANIMALS, and always then with more or
less risk of permanent injury to the ami
NAL; but either excessively low feeding
or over-feeding can only be practiced
with actual injury to the beast. The
over-worked or starved organs of diges-
ton will never fully recover from the
injury, and, what Is far worse than the
immediate injury to the animal thus
wrongfully treated, the evil effects of
this bad treatment are sure to be ielt by
the offspring, so that such a course, if
persisted IN, will surely bring destruction
to the herd.

The subject of absolutely waterproof
cloth has long occupied the attention of
scientists. Some years ago an Italian.
Signor Muritino. supposed that he had
satisfactorily solved the problem of
Egyptian cloths which were entirely
indestructible, and he patented a ma
terial of the kind, the only objection
was its cost. And now NJ. Peron, a
Belgian, comes forward with an inven-
ton of similar nature. Having as
certained that the bands used to swathe
the heads of Egyptian mummies were
impregnated with kind of resin, he has
had recourse to a substance extracted
from birch bari, and which is now used
to perfume Russian leather. When the
fine white bark of the birch tree is dis
titled 1t yields a red oil, nearly one
fourth of which consists of the special
phenol or cerbolic acid which gives a
well-known odor to Russian leather. 1t
Is now found that the residue or green
tar of the birch yields neither acid nor
alkaloid, and it forms with alcohol
solution of great huidlty, which, how
ever. when once dried, rs unacted upon
by alcohol, 1t is this substance winch
will unite with the most brilliant colors
and is used by NJ. Peron for treating
textile fabrics.

FREAKS and variations IN vegetables
have been numerous at the New York
experimental station. One Of the beets
planted for seed, instead OF throwing
up seed shoot, emitted branches from
the root, and these branches, coming to
the surface, threw out leaves, thus form
ing cluster of roots, which have grown
as ANIMALS, showing no tendency to
seeding. A potato plant developed tu-
hers i'll abundance in the axis OF its

plants this year, thus showing how ca
silly and quickly the habits of some
plants can be changed by selection.
