HOME DECORATION.

strawberries are among the favOrite
table decorations.
Curtains of Il warm tone should be
selected for room with northern ex-
posure.
Trailing plants are mingled with the
flowers held by shell flower receptacles,
now so popular.
A silk, velvet, or plush bag attached
to gildcd palm-lcaf fan is pretty
receptacle for photographs, cards, or a
bit of fancy work.
At Il recent dinner party the leading
floral decoration was Il piece of sod
heavy with grass with here and there a
daisy, bordcred with red roses.
1t is well TO see the warmth we can
not feel, and we know of no more eff
fectivc way of gratifying the eye than
to place panes of ruby glass in or over
the door. The effect of the sunlight
through this medium in a hall is very
beautiful.
Even the old kid gloves may be trans
formed into an article of beauty; the
tingcrlcss ones are not excluded, as it
is only the backs that enter into the
manufacture of Il bed covering. Silk or
satin is used to line this novel spread.
For rcrcptaclcS for dried grasses
straw cuffs are very pretty when wrought
with worstcd. Dcft fingers will quickly
work reeds and rushcs. or daisies and
forget-me-nots upon them. Fit a bit of
pas,cboard into the smaller portion of
the cuff.
A pretty pin cushion is made of three
satin bags fringcd at the top and filled
with wool or bran well dried. Each
bag should be of n different color, but
the hues should harmonic. Tie the
bags at the neck with narrow ribbon
and fastcn them together with strong
silk.
The birch bark gathered during sum-
mcr rambles may be fashioned into
lovely panels. Remove layer from a
large piece. paste it upon pasteboard
and dry it under pressure, as it must be
kept smooth, then attach spray of
woodbinc across it diagonally and finish
with fringe of red berries and small
cones or arrange Il bouquet of autumn
leaves. bright berries and delicate
grasses in the center

SEASONING BUTTER WITH BRINE.

SEASONING BUTTER WITH BRINE.
The best butter makers in England,
Ireland and Jersey, as well us in this
country, are gradually dropping the
practice of seasoning butter with salt.
and are using brine in its place. Those
who are far enough along to appreciate
the difference between gathering butter
in lump and handling it in granules,
are in a position to adopt brine season.
ing with case and decided benefit.
All that is necessary for such n butter
maker to do is when his butter has
come, to wash in the usual way with
water till it will run off clear, and then
immerse the granules of butter in brine
rs strong rs it can be made, and let
the butter lie in it the same length of
time he would have the salt dissolve if
he had used dry salt, and then press
the butter in solid form, avoiding any
friction or grinding motion while re-
ducing it to n solid. In this way all
working will be avoided, and the butter
left in the best possible condition for
keeping, and have an even color and
the highest flavor il is possible for it to
have. BY laying in strong brine few
hours the brine will draw the water out
OF the butter the same as dry salt
would.
Brine makes more even distribution
of the saline flavor than dry salt can
do, and it will relieve the butter of any
excess of water it may contain just as
readily as salt in crystals can. and put
it in readiness for packing in as little,
if not less, time. Ii is by some sup
posed that salt strikes into butter better
if dry salt is worked into it than it
would if covered with brine, but this is
a misapprehension of the action of salt;
neither salt nor brine strikes into butter
at all. There is no affinity between
salt and butter or brine and butter. In
seasoning butter with either, the salt
remains in butter only as a foreign
body mechanically mixed. 1t seasons
only what it touches in any case. and
brine will touch more of it than salt
can. 1t is not enough to apply brine
or salt and pack the butter at once, for
the reason that newly-churned butter
often (but not always) contains more
water in its composition than is desir
able or safe for the welfare of the butter
or that of the consumer.

Roland Worthington, editor of the
Boston IravelLer, recalls that when he
took hold of that paper, thirty years
ago, it was the most successful one in
the city and printed 1,425 copies each
of the five days of the week and ten
extra copies Saturdays. The paper
is still travelling on its ancient re-
putatiOn, and has lost little of its circu-
IatiOn.

CHEAP TEA-DRINKING.

The doctors are falling into agree
ment that the excessive use of tea is
working great injury to its consumers.
Tea is now set down as more deleterious
than coffee. especially when taken hot.
This being the case with good tea, it is
painful to think that the article COM
monty sold and used is in quality far
below that which our grandmOthers
were wont to gossip over. The Chinese
have discovered that England and
America want cheap tea, and they con-
sequently ship over an article which a
coolie in Canton would fling into the
street. The use of this wretched stuff
destroys the taste for really good tea.
Yet there are people who drink the lat
ter. Japan, India, and Ceylon have
become formidable competitors with
China in the tea trade; and there are
! brands of Japanese tea worth from Sl5
to S1S q pound. The Russians drink
prime tea, and the best which is not
reserved for home use is sent to them.
A well-to-do Russian family rarely
drinks tea worth less than $3.50 or 50 a
pound; and this tea goes much further
than the cheap trash, it being true
economy to use it. The best grades of
tea &C far to supply the craving for
wine and liquor, SO that man who
consumed the finest Bohea or Puerh
from the I-bang district would soon get
into bad odor with his wine merchant
The best Indian teas bring. at whole
sale by auction in England, IS cents to
81 pound. From this the quality of
our cheap teas may be guessed.
TO ExTINGUIsH BURNING CLOTHING.
j. Marshall, +. X. S., says, that if a
woman whose clothing is on fire will lie
down in horizontal position, the
flames will become for the time nearly
harmless, and time will thus be gained
for further action. If, then, we would
suggest, she has the presence of mind
to turn over upon the lighted garment,
the flame will be nearly eXtinguished.
ANY bystander might then easily put
out the fire by means of some wooden
garment, coat, or rug, thrown over the
sufferer to exclude the air. The above
writer offers a good suggestion for fix
ing this useful fact upon the minds of
the young. He recommends that there
be at every school an example of the
effect of this mode of action, once every
term, by means of two upright models,
prepared alike, and set on fire simulta-
neously; the one being thrown down
after two seconds, and the other after
thirty seconds. Example would be
better than precept," we think in this
instance.

A Wonderful Machine.

When was laying the foundation of
my mechanical fame and fortune, a
few years ago, I boarded in house
filled with locomotive engineers and
firemen. A practice prevailed there of
enlivening the supper table with So
cial conversation, and the locomotive
party being in the majority, the lead
ing theme of talk was stupendous feats
performed in railway runs, varied ny
minor incidents aud records of narrow
escapes. George Dewhirst, who ran
lathe in the shop, sat opposite me at
the table. and he got tired of being ex-
cluded from the conversation. He be-
came ambitious to hear himself talk in
that crowd. One evening, catching on
in lull in the conversation, he called
out loudly to me: "Well, 1 went over
and saw that machine to-day, and it is
astonishing the fine work it does"
''How does it workP'' I INQUIRED.
"Wel(,' said he, ''by means of a pedal
attachment, a fulcrumed lever converts
circular movement. The principal
part of the machine is disc which re-
wolves rapidly on a vertical plane
Power is applied through the axis of
the disc, and when the speed of the
driving arbor is moderate the periphery
of the machine is travelling at great
velocity. Work is done on this per-
iphery. Pieces of the hardest steel are
by mere impact reduced to any shape
the skillful operator desires.'' "What
in thunder is the machine, anyway"
demanded sTom Jones. "Oh, it is a
new grindstone," replied George. and
silence that could be felt passed
round the supper table.-Mec6anical

A Big Snake Story.

Recently learning through Thomas
O'Neal of this town, that a party
of wood-choppers, while telling
tree the day previous near the old
Smith-Ashley rancho, Pacheco, and
some three miles from Concord, had
discovered an enormous snake, the
Dimensions OF which aroused our
attention, we Immediately repaired to
the scene of the discovery. There,
before us, lay an object. the body of
which was snake-like in proportions.
measuring fourteen feet, seven inches
long, three feet around the largest
part of the body, and tapering
gradually toward the tail. The head
resembled that of crocodile, a row of
large, pointed teeth lining its jaws,
the upper jaw extending forward from
the anterior angle of each eve; the
skin was light colored, spotted with
black; coat of hair. in places twelve
inches long, extending in a continuous
line from head TO tail; and the
body being ornamented with
eight pairs of short-webbed feet. The
entire monstrosity would weigh about
two hundred pounds. The discovery
was made after the tree fell, which
was found to be hollow, the reptile
crawling from it, which SO scared the
wood'choppers that they fed to town,
leaving hats and coats behind. Its
general appearance was that of the
amphisbana, genus of saurians that
abound in South America, and which
live mostly on small insects. But how
this particular creature came in this
vicinity is for servants of California to
study up. We are sorry the reptile
was killed. as it might have adorned
the interior Of q mcnagerie. However,
we should suggest that the officers of
the California Academy of Sciences
dispatch one of its experts to determine
the species of the reptile.
