Il patent has been recently grant ed to
Mr.. William III. Brown. Jersey City,
for a novel process of manufacturing
continuous tin-plates. The plates IN
question are made of steel, and the
process consists in producing sheet of
steel of any continuous length and OF
requiIed width By first rolling the
metal hot and afterward rolling it cod
until proper thickness and perfectly
smooth surface is obtained. Next the
surface of the sheet is secured, and
then it is afterward PASSED through a
bath of molten tin, thus receiving its
coating. Finally the sheet is subject
ed to a rolling operation, under heavy
pressure, between highly polished rolls
by which the tin and steel are condens-
ed and consolidated together and the
surface hardened and polished. The
inventor states that by this method the
tin will be found to be hardened upon
and incorporated with the steel as 70
produce tin plate which is superior In
most respects to any tin-plate where
ever produced.

1t Is not the American fashion for
people to go to their Government to
learn how to do things. Perhaps, how.
ever, the making OF whitewash is an
exception. That recommended by the
Lighthouse Board of the Treasury De-
partment for TIE outside of buildings is
cheap and durable. We give this re-
ceipt. believing it to be one of the best:
Slake one-half bushel of stone lime; in
boiling water; keep it covered while
being Stacked. Strain the white wash,
and add one-half peck of salt dissolved
in water, three poundsot ground rice DIS
solved in boiling water and made into a
thin paste, one-half poundSpanish whit
ing and one pound of clear glue dissoly-
ed In hot water. Mix all these together
and let the wash stand for several days.
Keep in kettle and heat it before ap-
plying. 1t can be put on with paint
or a whitewash brush. The glue and
other ingredients prevent this white
wash from scaling off, as it will do
when made of lime alone.

GREENHOUSE

GREENHOUSE AND WINDOW
PLANTs.-Plants that are turned from
their pots and set in the open border
are rarely worth taking up and potting
again at the approach or autumn.
Start a stock of vigorous new young
plants raised from cuttings. Plants
that are TO remain in their pots should
be in a partial shade, but not in the
drip of trees. Stand them on a layer
of coal ashes to prevent worms from
entering the pots. Prepare the plants
by exposeuse for the change. Roots of
dahlias, cannas, etc, should be exposed
to the sun during the day, laid upon
earth in boxes, and taken in at night.
This will soon cause the buds to start,
when the roots may be divided for
planting out.

according to a lecture by Dr.. Stevei =
son Macadam the remains of a well-or-
ganized soap factory have been found in
the ruins of PompeiI. Soap factories ex-
sted in Italy and Spain in the eighth ard
in France in the ninth centuries. The
manufacture in Great Britain was first
heard OF In the fourteenth centu9
White soap is generally prepared frem
tallow, with a little lard and palm-oil.
In yellow soap resin Is added. Soft
soap is prepared from fatty substances,
with potash. Cocoanut-on soap has
the advantage of being usable with sea
water, and is often called marine soap.
Carbolic-acid soap contains about 2 per
cent, of carbolic acid, and has antisep-
tic as well as washing properties. In
toilet soaps, as In old brown Windsor,
when they are kept for long time, the
soda is influenced by the ar and has
its strong properties neutralized. Then
it is remelted and stored up again, and re-
melted a second time, when It becomes
soft and tender; but the toilet soaps oi
the present are not always given time
to age.

HUNGRY animals can be made to eat
even weeds, but it is poor economy to
force them to do it. Some weeds have
however, considerable nutritive value.
The plaintaIn is nearly as rich as
meadow hay. and the white daisy is
theoretically worth half "a much The
greatest nuisance of weeds in hay is
that their seeds pass undigested into
the manure heap, and are thus spread
everywhere 1t Is indeed hard luck to
a farmer who Is unable to draw a load
OF manure on his land without raising
the question whether the weeds he
dissemInates do not Offset the good that
the manure itself should do.

A Pleasure Shared by Women Only.

Malherbe, the gifted French author, de-
clared that of all things that man possesses,
women alone take pleasure in being pos
sessed- This seems generally true of the
sweeter sex. Like the ivy plant, she longs
for an object to cling TO and love-to look
10 for protection. This being her preroga-
tive, ought she not be told that Dr. Pierce S
Favorite Prescription is the physical saliva
lion of her sex? 1t banishes those dis
tressing maladies that make her life bur-
den, curing all painful irregularities, utter
Inc disorders, Inflammation and liberation,
prolapsus and kindred weaknesses. AS a

ration, debility, relieves mental anxiety
and hypochondria. and promotes refresh
ing sleep.

FEW dishes are more delicate than
cold game, especially partridges smoth-
cred in stewed celery, or snipe on toast
soaked with its own gravy. Franca-
telli's names of his dishes are sometimes
amusing-for instance, his pheasant a
la gudewife. Truss a pheasant for
boiling; stew it with half pound of
ham cut in square pieces; fry these to-
gether over a moderate fire. and when
the pheasant is Drowned all over add
four sliced Spanish onions, pepper. salt
and spoonful of soy. Put on the lid
and place it where it will all simmer
gently for three-quarters of an hour.
When the pheasant is ready to serve
pour the onions over it. For deli
cious partridge pie peel two or three
sweet oranges, divide them in quarters
and put them in the birds without other
Stuffing; delicate slice of cold ham may
be laid in the bottom of the dish.

FARM NOTES.

TaREsuING CoRS.-Durlng the
past few years reports have been occa-
sionally received in regard to the
utility OF threshing corn in an ordinary
threshlng machine. The last year re-
ports of the successful results of thresh-
ing corn have been sCch as TO make il
appear that tie practice Is on the In
crease. not only In the west but in the
New England states as well.
A correspondent in Minnesota
Farmer claims that neighbor threshed
with steam thresher 500 bushes of
corn in one short DAY, using thirteen
men aud three teams. 1t also required
four men to stack the fodder. The
corn was of the fint variety.
Near Mankato. MINI. farmer used
his Case thresher, the same as for
small grain. The fodder was shredded
in lne shape for the cattle to eat, and
the shelled corn was well cleaned. Nine
acres gave 80 bushels OF shelled corn,
and 1t took but one day to thresh it.
Near Sac City, Ia. Mr.. II. III. BloIgett
threshed 800 bushels OF corn in day.
The corn came out in good condition
aud the stalks and cobs were 50 crushed
and mixed that the stock will eat them
up clean. Dwight Hazen, near Osseo,
W Is. anu ScFcIdl OlucIS Vi luc hlC4lill
threshed their entire crops In this way
and are entirely satisfied with the re-
suits.
The journal quoted from says: 1.-THE
old threshers do well, we presume,
when the stalks and ears are not too
large, but the work Will be done better
and with less liability to damage mach
inery. when a new machine made es-
pecially for the purpose shall have been
introduced. We understand that such
will soon be put upon the market"
Iowa Homestead tells how a farmer
in Iowa threshed about 200 bushels of
corn per day; this farmer prepares the
machine for threshing by taking out
the front concave and each alternate
tooth of the rest. The journal in
question says that threshlng corn is
the quickest and most economical way
Of dIspOsing OF It, costing but little
morethan husking and shelling the corn.
and the saving in the value OF the f0d-
der is about 40 per cent.

HE KNEw.-One day when the
teacher of kindergarten was giving
the first lesson in geography, she used

is round like a ball?'' "Yes'm," said
John, delightedly, "another one.''

s.Nasui Voices, Catarrh and False
r- Teeth,

A prominent English woman saws
che American women all have high.
shr1ll. nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't Ike the constant
twitting they get about this nasal
twang, and yet it is a fact caused by
our dry stimulating atmosphere, and
the universal presence OF catarrhal dir-
fcnltleS.
But wly should SO many of our
women have false teeth?
That is more of a poser to the Eng
lisl. 1t is quite impossible to account
for It except on the theory OF deranged
stomach action caused by imprudence
in eating and 10y want of regular exer-
cise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere pre-
vail and end in cough and consump-
ton, which are promoted by mal-nu-
triton induced by deranged stomach
action. The condition Is q modern
one, one unknown to our ancestors who
prevented the catarrh, cold, cough and
consumption by abundant and regular
use OF what is known as Warmers Log
Cabin Cough and Consumption Rem.

old fashioned standard remedies handed

used as the spring and summer seasons
advance give a positive assurance OF
freedom, both from catarrh and those
dreadful and If neglected, Inevitable
consequences, pneumonia, lung trou-
bles aud consumption, which SO gen.
orally and fatally prevail among our
people.
