A Perslan Workman.

From the illustratedpaper by s. G
W. Benjamin, our late minister to
Persia, in the city of Teheran, We
quote the following: ''What imple-
ments they used in ancient times we
know not; but to-day the Persian
artisan has neither rule, compass, nor
spirit level. He is commonly ignorant
of the fact that the diameter is the
third of the circumference; his gimlets
and augurs arc prods turned by bow
string; he has no Ratchet, but only an
adze, and no carpenters bench. 1.-The
desires to plane board, he puts it on
the ground; and if he would saw \
block of wood, he squats on the ground
himself and holds it between his toes,
drawing the saw towards himself.
Wood is scarce, and with such tools,
hard work. If pillars are to be cor
structed, the trunk of poplars are
raised and simply stripped of their
branches and bark. They may be
crooked, but that matters not; the
master workman tells his subordinate
to shape the timber into an elegant
pillar with Catch. Depending only on
his eye and the skill of his hands. this
simple artisan applies the plaster round
the trunk in the form of fluted pillar
and crowns it with q graceful capital
and cornice, showing lively inventive
fancy. If judged by the strict applica-
ton of rule and compass, these dec
orations may sometimes deviate
slightly from a straight line, but of the
artistic beauty of the conception there
can be no question. Walls and ceilings
are tastefully decorated in like manner.
''Lightness combined
with strength is often gained in Persia
by building wall of square sun dried
bricks. ingeniously arranged in hollow
cubes as in block house. They are
cemented together by layer of cargel,
or mortar mixed with straw, over
which, in turn, follows a coat of white
plaster. Where great strength is re-
CURED the angels are fortified by a
layer of burnt bricks. Such a wall
will stand for ages. It is interesting
to watch the builders at work. They
wear long tunics, which are tucked in
to their girdies when working, dis
playing length and muscular devel-
opment of limb I have never seen
elsewhere. The one above
sings out in musical tone, Brother, in
the name of God, toss me q brick
The one below, as he throws the brick,
sings In reply. % my brother Tor, O
son of my uncle,) in the name of God,
behold 4 brick!'

Colds.

The most prevalent of all ailments
are colds, affecting various parts of the
body; "they have all seasons for their
own" and are the beginning of more
diseases than all other causes combined.
1t becomes, then, a matter of the
first Importance to know how to avoid
colds, and how to get rid of them
speedily when they attack US.
The most frequent cause of colds is
wet feet, or feet that remain for a long
time damp and chilled from wearing
too thin stockings and shoes. 1t is
probable that half of the diseases Pc
culiar to women are induced in that
way. 1t is not the wetting of the feet
that gives cold, but the gradual evap-
Grafton of the moisture which carries
off the natural warmth of the body,
thus causing the blood to be chilled.
The effect of the chill is to close the
pores of the skin so that the waste par
ticles of matter cannot escape from the
body in this direction, but are thrown
back, and thus poison the blood.
When it is not possible to take off
VIC SuO'S auu SIocklugs, anu OFy ana
warm the feet promptly after getting
them wet. it is better to let them re-
main wet until we can attend to them
properly. To dry them in the sun or
before fire, without taking of shoes
and stockings and substituting dry
ones, is exceedingly hazardous. There
is but little danger of taking cold after
wetting the feet if we walk rapidly
enough to keep up the natural tenn
perature of the body, and keep on
walking until we reach some place
where we can take off shoes and stock
ings and thoroughly dry them or
change them for dry ones. A cold is
less likely to result from a thorough
wetting of the whole body than from
wetting the feet alone.

Saving Waste Material.

There are so many ways around q
farm for profits to leak away that it is
only the careful and prudent man who
can make the business pay. In the
fields, the barns, the house, the cellars
and granaries, there IS always danger
of a waste that in the aggregate throws
the balance of the years accounts very
near the losing side. 1t is here little
and there little, in tho "odds and
ends" that the waste goes on. In the
single item of fertilizers enough is
wasted from year to year on some
farms to make all the difference be-
tween failure and possible success. Ad-
vising its readers on this subject tho
Massachusetts Ploughman says all the
waste bones that accumulate on the
farm should be carefully saved, and
not sold for half cent pound, be-
cause they are worth much more than
that for the phosphate which they con-
tain; this may be utilized by burning
them, which is the easiest way if one
has hut small quantity; but if several
hundred pounds have been collected,
it is desirable to reduce them to plant
food in manner to save the nitrogen.
This can be done by dissolving caustic
potash in water, making it quite strong
and heating it over the fire; when hot,
and the bones have been packed close
In a tight cask, the liquid is poured
over the bones until they are we'll COW
cred; keep them thus several weeks,
when it will be found that the hardest
bones have softened by the action or
the potash; take them out and mix
them thoroughly with dry muck of
plaster, or even fine coal ashes, and it
will be found to be equal to any fertil-
izer that Is offered in tho market for
fifty dollars PER ton, and the cost will
not be more than half oft. This ma

We often mention unleached wood

when told that one bushel of ashes
