The great variety Of colors and dyes
obtained from common plants, growing
so abuudantly almost everywhere IS
apparently known to but few persons
except chemists. The well-known
hutkiebcrry or burberry, when boiled
down, with an addition of a little alum
and a solution Of copperas, Will develop
an excellent blue color; the same treat
luent, with a solution of nut gals, pro-
duces a clean lark-brOwn tint, while
with alum, verdigris, and sal ammoniac
various shades Of purple and red can be
Obtained. The fruit Of the elder, SO
frequently used for COloring spirits, will
also produce a blue color when treated
with alum. The privet, boiled in, Il
solution Of salt, furnishes a serYiceable
color, and the oyer-ripe berries yield a
scarlet red. The seeds of the common
burning bush "euonymous," when
treated with sal ammOnlac, pro
duCe a beautiful purple red. The bark
Of the currant bush, treated with q
solution Of alum, produces a brown.
Yellow is obtainable from the bark Of
the apple trees, the box, the ash, the
b~uckth0rn, the poplar, etc, when boiled
in water and treated with alum. A
lively green IS furnished by the broom
corn.

Speaking of nitro-glycerine,n said
the oil-torpedo man, land its explosive
properties, reminds me Of one incident
of a thousand that l could relate re-
garding it. At the factory where the
Oil-well t%orpedoes are made, WE strain
the nitro-glycerine through the crown
of a felt-hat, and when the hat has
served its purpose we destroy It. One
day some of the workmen, instead Of
destroying the hat, washed 1t thor
oughly and treated it with alkali, in
order to destroy the effect of the nitro
glycerine. Then they laid it up on a
shelf, and forgot about it. Some two
years afterward, one OF the men ran
across the hat, and his curiosity was
excited as to whether it would explode
if struck a hard blow. He placed 1t on
one of the iron arms that run from the
timers bench in the factory, and
struck it, while his companions looked
on in wonderment. He struck it twice
without any result, but the third time
it exploded, blew the iron arm through
a brick wall, knocked the man down
and broke both of his arms and wrecked
the interior Of the tinshop."

MAYONNAT5E OF SOLES.--Take the
illets of a pair OF large soles, cut them
with a outlet cutter INTO as many pear
shaped collops as you can; lay these in
a tin, sprinkle them with pepper and
salt, and add salad oil and lemon juice;
cover them close with a sheet of oiled
paper, and put the tin into q moderate
oven. When they are done take them
out II by one, and lay them fat be-
tween two plates to get cold. Wash
thoroughly a quantity Of anchovies,
and, having removed the bones, cut
them into narrow Gllets. Nince the
yelks of a couple Of hardboiled eggs very
finely; also mince some tarragon and

layer of lettuce, slightly heaped up in
the centre, on a dish, and mask it with
~mayonnaise sauce. On this dispose the
cOllopS of soles in Il circle and OVer-
tapping each other; on each collop put
an anchoyy lillet so as to form a loop
or a round, and Gil the space within
each alternately with hard-boiled yelks
and the herbs mentioned above. Put

FARM NOTES.

Ir is lust about ten years since a
smart young man conceived Jhe Iuea oI
making wooden boxes TO put butter n
lard in. The process was Simple. Logs
of beech, sweet gum, sugar maple or
elm were cut up into convenient
lengths and boiled until they were
soaked completely through. Ihey were
taken steaming hot from the watts and
pi1t into a sort of lathe, by which, as
thew were turned, a thin ribbon OF
wood was cut from the surface, and
this was drawn out across the shop
floor until the whole log was shaved
away. This ribbon was then cut into
little sheets by a stamp that also split
and nOtched the ends oil u sheets.
Nimbled-fngered girls Tapped Il Spit
ends together, slipped on the Tin edge,
hit it with a mallet to secure 1t, and the
lob was done. After a while riyets
were substituted by another manuiae-
| turer for the tin. Then a wire staple
was used to hold the ends OF the box
in shape. Then a machine was in
vented by which an oval-shaped dish
was scooped out of the log without the
necessity of Tiyets Of any kind. AT the
same time another firm took the
thin sheets of wood, cut them into
| circles. stamped them into the shape of
pie plates, and dried them so. Then a
Western firm of paper makers brought
out a pie plate made OF straw board,
lined with light MANILA paper. The
little dishes brought several dollars a
thousand at first, but now you can buy
car loads at one-tenth Of a cent a box.
The tin.edged boxes bring over two
tenths of a cent each, but they are still
very popular, because they weigh heavy
when butter is worth forty cents q
pound. Nearly 10,00O,00O of these
little boxes are turned out every day,
and vet the demand is as great as the
supply. The manufacturers are using
| elm, and that is a mistake. 1t does
fairly well dry, but when the grocers
| soak the elm dishes in water h smell
arising from the dish taints the butter.
The pie dishes are used by bakers. The
pie crust does not get soaked with fruit
Juice when wooden or paper dishes are
used. Dealers in jellies and preserves
are beginning to use paper boxes. Lard
dealers sometimes have boxes made
that will hold ten and even fifteen
pounds of lard. The box IS much
cheaper than a pail, and if the lard is
not al lowed to stand in it too long it
answers the purpose of a pail very we'll.
A good many patents have been issued
to cover boxes and machines; and
hundreds OF thousands of dollars are
invested in a business that is known in
no other country and is not yet out OF
its short dresses.

CURE FOR A FELoN.-The follow
ing cure for a felon is going the rounds
Of exchanges: Fill atumbler with equal
parts of fine salt and ice; mix well; sink
the finger in the centre, allow it to re-
main until numb, then withdraw it and
when sensation is restored renew the
operation four or five times, then it viii
be found the disease is destroyed. This
must be done before pus is formed.
This remedy should be used cautiously
least the finger be permanently frozen.

PETER HENDERSON states that,
during his recent visit to England,
nothing surprised him SO much as the
growing Of tomatoes. In one establish
ment there were, in running feet, two
and a half miles OF green houses all
filed with tomatoes. These must have
cost no less than S100,0 900. The toma-
toes were then selling at six pence
sterling per pound, about Sc per bushel.
Here IS a chance for Il growers to
send tomatoes to England in cold stor-
age. But we want better-keeping to-
matoes.

EARTH IN TIE STABLE. Nothing
will purify and keep a stable so free
from odors as the free use of dry earth,
and every one keeping horses or cattle
will find it pays to keep a heap of it at
hand, to be used daily. A few shovel
fuls of earth scattered over the floor
after cleaning will render the air Of the
apartment pure and wholesome. The
value Ct the seasons manure pile may
be largely inc. eased by the free use of
such absorbent. lie streGgth of the
gases and liquids absorbed is retained,
aud is the very essence of good manure.
