WASHINGTON NOTES.
BOND CALL.

WASHINGTON, February 20.-The secretary of

cent. bonds principal and accrued interest, which

varieties have been developed in France
and Germany, TO satisfy the various re-
quirements Of soil and climate. In those
countries tho main object is to obtain
sorts rich in sugar. Generally those va
rietios which give tho heaviest yield Of
roots contain the smallest proportion of
sugar, and conversely, the kinds richest
in sugars yield the llghtcst root crops per
acre. 1t will be seen that ono acre of
the small variety contains as much sugar
as an acre OF the largest while there is
less than twu-thirds as much bulk and
weight to handle. The sugar content is
not an exact measure of the nutritivc
value of the respective varieties, but is
approximately so, as the excess in weight
of the large sorts is composed of water,

An Englishman writes to the mayor
Of Charleston communicating some newly
discovered facts regarding the making OF
mortar for building, which he believes
will be of great Importance in a city
subject to earthquakes. He says that
the addition of saccharinc matter, such
as molasscs, infusion of matt, ETC., to
the mortar, increases its strength to an
extraordinary degree. The hardness Of
the old Roman cement, which is equal
to that Of the stone it binds together is
believed to be due to the addition Of
saccharine matter. Water to which
sugar has been added will dissolve four
teen and half times as much lime as
pure water. Recent experiments with
sweetened mortar have proved that walls
may be built so strong they cannot be
torn down with anything but explosives.

fellow clerk came up to him and began
to talk to him in the sign language
"Thc secretary is going to 90 for YOU"
said the clerk, with his fingers. The
mute clerk looked up SUR ris,d. "Why,
what have done?' he asked with his
fingers. ooh, the secretary has heard
tales about you, and l hear you arc about
to be discharged" The dcaf-mutc
looked bcwildcrcd. "Why2' his fingers
asked. "Somc people have told the
secretary that you have been around the
hotel corridors talking in loud and
boisterous manner against the admins
tration." An expression Of relief came
across the mute clerks face when he
heard the reason, and his fingers re-
piled: 81 can prove an alibi. "-Balti-

The Value OF Coal Tar.

The true value of coal tar on tho farm
has not enerolly come to be recognized.
AS q preserver of wood it is the best and
the cheapest of anything we have. This
product may be obtained from gas works
at very slight cost, and when properly
applied goes a great way in its use. Any
wood surface to be exposed part of the
time to moisture, will be made to last
very pcrccptibly longer when given
covering of tar Those who have tried
dipping soft wood posts, such as willow
and poplar, certify that the wood is
made to last in the ground equal to the
best seasoned oak. We'll curbing, the
lower boards of fences or buildings, barn
floors, in fact anything exposed to mos-
ture, will be well preserved if given
covering of hot tar. As disinfcctant it
is considered very valuable, and should
be applied to the walls and roosts of
poultry houses and to the solid portions
Of pig pens. The best condition in
which to apply it, as n rule, is while hot.
1t is in this way the cheapest and forms
much better preventative, yet it can be
applied as q paint, by thinning with
turpentine when in melted condition.
This will be found more expensive, as
turpentinc costs about sixty cents gal
Ion. The ordinary way of tGrring posts
is to dip them; the process is convenient,
and the result most ciTectuaI. A long,
trough-likc vat, provided with a sheet
iron bottom, and the whole set over n
brick fireplace, makes a very convenient
arrangement. Two men, each provided
with u hook mado of heavy wire, stand
ut each end of the vat, and are able to
perform tho dipping with great deal of
speed. Tho timber should be well
seasoned so that all the openings, result
ing from cracking, may become filled
with the hot liquid and rendered i'm
pcrvious to water. If boarded roofs DO
covered with tar, water will run from
them with greatest freedom. Cast-ron
implements may dc rendered rust proof
bv dpping III hot tar, and the covering
will be equal to tho best Japan finish. -

Mari is an impure carbonate OF lime,
except in some cases, when it is made
up of almost wholly shells, when it is
nearly pure carbonate of lime. 1t is thea
slowly soluble in water which contains
carbolic acid, and as all the water is in
the soil has some carbonic acid in it the
mari becomes available. as useful
fertilizer. 1t may be spread on the land
at this season in any quantity up to 200
bushels per mere, and will be very good
substitute for lime. Tho pure mari may
be made into limo by burning in the
same manner as stone lime is---that is, by
making bed of wood and heaping some
mari on it; then making layers of wood
and mari up to 8 or 10 feet high of n
somewhat conical shape The sides are
plastercd with clay to retain the heat,
and tho heap is set on fire and burned
down slowly. The lime thus made is
quite equal for use on the land to stone
lime. Ne,o York. Times.
