A Seryiceable Brown.

Some of the German manufacturers
find that the most serviceable brown
may be impaired to woollen and hall
woollen goods, after the dry removal OF
all spots with hard soap, by washing the
pieces well by hand, then drawing them
through weak, lukewarm soda bath'
rinsing, and passing through a warm
acid bath. For a twenty-pound dyeing
bath one pound of Roman alum, eight
ounces of sulphuric acid, and four to
eight pounds Of arohil are boiled for forty
minutes, and the shade regulated with
tumuric, sulphate of indigo, and arehil.
For yellowish brown there are added to-
gether one pound of common alum,
EIGHT onces of sulphuric acid, two pounds
of turmeric, four to six pounds of archil
and some sulphate of indigo, The pieces
desired of the darkest shade are dyed
first, and in both cases the result is
highly satisfactory.

A New England Apple Orchard.

Mr.. Prescott Williams, of Williams
burg, Mass, is the owner Of an immense
apple orchard, probably the largest IN
the New England States. The orchard
was set out nearly 20 years ago, and mas
been in bearing for many years, although
the present cropis the largest ever grown.
Mr.. Williams estimates the crop at $500
barrels. Three hundred and sixty-two
trees. it is estimated, will yield SIX bar
rels of apples each, of which 300 are

gress. and 4 Roxbury Russets, making
total of 2,172 barrels. Hundreds OF
trees will Weld one, two or three barrels,
but these are not included IN the count.
A number of trees will give 10 barrels
and others eight or ten barrels OF apples
each The orchard occupies rocky
slope of common New England farming
land. When Mr.. Williams began set
ting and budding trees many years ago
the old farmers laughed at him, but he
persevered in his plan and Tor long
time has expended more money IN oress-
inc for his trees than the average farmer
clears for his entire farm. The orcharo
at present is magnificent slght, the
apples large, fair, aud of brilliant color;
the weld is probably the largest for the
area in the history of New England.
The trees are propped to keep the limbs
from breaking of, and the trees are Tree
from worms, being protected by troughs
of kerosene oil about the trunks. A
large force will begin picking Oct. 1st.

THE OLD-FASHTONED HOUSE,


Of all the tender and comfortable things
Ihat now and then sweet memory brings,
Ihere's nothing dearer that love recalls
Ihan the old-fashioned house with it white,
washed walls.
Not q mansion to-day, though marvel of art
Can ever rsurp its place in my heart,
For there my earliest prayers were said,
And slept at night in trundle bed.
Meath coverids reaching from feet 20 chin.
by a mothers hand tucked gently in,
And goodnight kiss on my tired brow
Oh, earth holds no such blessing now
A garden was fragrant in flower beds
Where marigolds lifted their velvet heads.
And warmed by sunshine, refreshed by dew,
The bachelor button and touch-me-not grew
In river that curved like a Shepherds crook
We fshed for minnows with herrt pin hook,
Or with little bare feet oft waded through
And brayely .paddled our own canoe"
Twas home of welcome no one could doubt.
Whose latch-string hung invitingly out,
And many stranger supped at its board
While blazing logs in the chimney roared.
Oh, this is an age of reform and change
And things aesthetic, modern and strange
improvements that SAVIOR of silver and gold
Are superseding the cherished and old.
But turn from palaces built for show
With mansard roofs and stories below
OF frescoed, kalsomined, dadoed halls,
To the old-fashioned house with it's white

Why Drunken Men Stagger.

"Why does man stagger when he is
drunk ?" was asked of q medical man.
"You must KNOW" said the doctor,
'that the nervous system, which has its
seat in the brain and spinal cord, divides
its responsibility among its several parts,
much as in the executive department of
the government the responsibility is sub
divided, but centers in one head-the
President of the United States. In the
case of man the cerebellum presides over
the coordination of movement, the cere-
brum over volitional life, and the medul-
la oblongata over respiration. In the
case of alcoholic intoxication the in
fiuence is first felt in the cerebellum,
and the victim loses that control over
the movement of his muscles which
characteristics him in his normal state.
This is the reason he staggers. If the
intoxication is carried further the cere
brum is attacked, and he loses all con-
troll over his thoughts; his power of ex-
pressing himself intelligently, and, in
fact. all his intellectual faculties, are be-
numbed. When this narcotization be-
comes complete the man is dead drunk.
In many Instances the intoxication has
so affected that part of the spinal cord
which presides over sensation that surg
ical operations have been performed
without producing the sensation of pain.
The last portion of the system affected
by the potations of the drunkard is the
medulla oblongata When this becomes
narcotized respiration ceases and death
ensues

The tables prepared for the last
United States census respecting printing,
although both curious and valuable,
have received only little attention from
the newspapers of the day. Part of this,
no doubt, arose from the fact that the
volume was published during the heat of
the last political campaign, when all
other subjects were dwarfed, but part
comes from the fact that the results were
not clear to many writers, who had not
been bred to the art and were not in the
habit of analyzing statistics. One of the
tables which have been least noticed is
that showing the number of pounds of
type used upon the newspapers OF the
United States, and the quantity of type
regularly SET New York has 1,242, 64g
pounds of type, or enough to fill cases for
90, 900 compositors, her proportion being
one-fifth of the Union, which has 6, $780,,
S7s pounds. Five States, New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, and Iowa,
have nearly one-half of all the type, and
set one-half of the number of ems.
A pound of type sets eighty-three ems,
and assuming that the average size Is
BREWER, there are for each thousand set,
about 1 200 ems left in the cases. The
largest average set on dailies was in
Louisiana, 140, 900 ems, and the smallest
in New Mexico, 30, 900 ems, the average
being "a, lat. The average on weekhes
was 81, 797, the largest being in the Dis
trict of Columbia, 95, 600, while in Wyo-
ming it was the smallest, sc, 600 S'f
the iong-settled States, Alabama had the
smallest, 80, 900. The total amount OF
type set for one issue would make 1873
duodecimo volumes, and that done Oh
the daibes in a year would fill 10, 600
volumes to match Appleton's Cyclic
pedia. Measured up as proofs are
measured, the slip containing the years

i Wealthy Girls Whlm.
SHE rs A SPINNER AND HER FATHER
GIVES HER A DOLLAR FOR EVERY
CENT SHE EARNS.

AIiss Nellie Dean, the young and &C
complished daughter of Thaddeus Dean,
of Chicago, commen ed work at the
Rockford Spinning Mills, in Rockford,
at sixty cents a day. She did 1T In a
spirit of independence. Her father Is
a wealthy lumber dealer. A short time
ago his daughter Nellie proposed visit
ing some friends at Rockford, who are
also very wealthy. Before she started
the spinning factory at Rockford was
made the subject of conversation.
81 believe l will secure work there
and earn my own living" the young
lady remarked playfully.
GYou are too much afraid of work,
answered her father.
"You are afraid to offer me dollar
for every cent earn in spinning mill, "
said the girl.
Mr.. Dean made the offer and it was
accepted. The allotted duration of the
young lady's visit expired on Saturday,
and she was expected home, but did not
arrive The reason was not known
until to-day, when it was known that
she had made sensation in Rockford
by entering the factory as working
girl for sixty cents day, making with
her commission, S60.60 a day. Mr..
Dean was asked how long he supposed
she will continue at work, and said:
"Oh, not over week. Why, bless
me, she can't keep it up long you know,
or she will break my credit in the mar.
ket. Some of the dealers were saying
to-day that they would have to watch
me closely now. Oh, she'll tire of it by
Saturday, and 1 guess I'll get off will
paying her $3.50.
Miss Dean worked but one day in the
knitting factory at Rockford. She wa
given check for one dollar, and as he
father had agreed to pay her one dollar
for every cent she earned by hones
labor in Rockford, he will be compelled
to disgorge 800, Her return to Chicago
is due to the wishes of her family, par
ticularly her father, rather than to any
inclination to shirk labor, When the
young lady stopped work she was giver
cordial recommendation for industry
and cabability.
