lido Camsdell, the editor Of An,

in skinning calves the French
mode is to make q hole, insert tbs noz-
zle of a bellows, and blow the skin
from the flesh. For this reason alone,
it is said, French calf-skin is superior
to that made in this country, where
knives are used in the skinning process.
Every one has heard Of condensed
milk, but condensed, OF rather, solid
itied drinks of q moro potent nature are
q novelty. An ingenious, French chem
ist has discovered a method by which
any wine, spirit or malt liquor can be-
solidiied into a cake, like chocolate,
and so conveniently carried about III

A merchant OF Sandy Hill, N. Y,

Dry pocket-glue is made cf twelve
parts Of good glue and five. parts Of
sugar. The glue is boiled until it is en-
tirely dissolved, the sugar is then put
into the glue, and the mass is evapor-
ated until it hardens on cooling Luke
warm water melts it very readily, and
it is excellent for use in causing paper
to- adhere firmly, clearly, and without
producing any disagreeable cdof.-

An improved fishhook has been in
vented bya Southern sportsman. About,
midway up the shaft Of the hook he
places a small crossbar, which serves
three purposes. FIRST, it prevents the
fish from swallowing the hook; secoSd,
it increases the chances Of capture, for
the reason that when q fish strikes its
nose against the projection it inToluD-
tariiy closes its mouth, and so is secure
ly caught; and third, it prevents the
bait from slipping up the hook.
THAT the small coins Of all nations
may be q most potent factor in dissem-
mating disease is a discovery due to
the researches Of DR.. Reinch. Taking
specimens of coin which had been. long
in circulation, he scraped off the: thin
organic incrustations, which he then
divided into small pieces and dissolved
in distilled water. Microscopic inspec-
ton of the solution disclosed abund-
ance of bacteria and vegetable fungi.
After this there is ample reason Tor
caution in handling money made OF
metal: OF the danger of filthy paper
currency the public has long been
aware.

RasheS.

There is often a breaking out,'
from various causes-somelhing not
differing much from scarlatina in APP
pearance-a ..scarlet rash" = often
appearing ia the neighborhood where
the true scarlatina prevails; a mongrel
affair, and, of course, not much to be
feared. If feverishness attends it,
cooling processes MAY be adopted, in
all cases keeping the rash out as much
as possible, always being careful to
favor the stomach, by the use of simple
food and less than the usual quantity,
! keeping the bowels open and free by
injections and proper food.
A similar rash-not as red-is brought
out by heat and by the use OF certain
kinds of food. The use of shell-tish,
IS the lobster, clam, oyster, and tho
like, (none OF which are easy OF diges~
ton. particularly nourishing, or V G
wholesome, as compared with the more
usual tishes,) will often produce an
eruption, one form of which is called
the ..nettle RASH or ''nettle sting"
This is caused BY a similar state OF the
stomach, the result OF the use OF all ;sr-
ticle difficult of digestion, and, OF
course, derangihg OF irritating the
coats of the stomach, between which
and the outer skin, there is a strong
sympathy, the Il being in about the
same condition AS the other. The effect
is first seen in the throat, and then on
the tongue, these two being, a kind OF
index showing the state of the stomach
and other internal organs. While all
these may be treated in the general
wav of ralucinr ftvcriShneSS. pro-
noting the eruption. the true course
consists in ascertaining the cause and
III correcting the false habits OF eating.
Strong ACIDS. also. produce eruptions
of the surface, acids found in unripe
fruits, and for the same reason that
the stomach is in sympathy with the
surface. Indeed, we may account fol
the appearance OF what we call hui
mors, on the surface. somewhat on the
same principle. In all these cases il
is safe to allow nature to adopt hel
own methods OF cure, always acting
qCiM her instead OF against her-pro
noting the eruption, ut least till WI
can remove the causes. To ''driye in
these eruptions. as the measles, OF tt
check the discharges OF sorcs, and tn
like, is to do great violence to tn
health and fight against the best physi
