STARTING A BLUEGRASS PAS
TURE.-Waldo F. Brown, q noted Ohio
farmer and prolific writer on rural
topics, says the way he started his pas
ture was BY sowing one bushel of blue
grass seed to the acre, and at the same
time seeding heavily with a variety Of
other grasses and clover. The blue
grass made no show until two years
later, but has been improving ever
since. The last piece Of bluegrass on
his farm was started by cutting sods at
the roadside and chopping them into
pieces about two inches square, which
were dropped from q basket about two
feet apart, and stepped on to press them
in the soil. This was on land justsown
to oats. These pieces grew to the size
Of dinner plates the first year, and in a
few years crowded out all other grasses
and formed Q complete swaId. MI.
Brown believes that, taking one year
with another, . field Of bluegrass pays
better than any other crop, and, at the
very least, ten acres out Of every hun
dred ought to be occupied with 1t.

A new bleaching process by ''paraf-
fine" promises to revOlutionlze the
bleaching business of the world. In
public experiments made recently in
Salem, Mass, unrotted field fax, just
IS cut from the field and dried, was
rendered snow white In forty minutes.
Successful tests upon Russian hemp in
the fibre and Russian and Irish flax in
fibre were also made. The old process
OF bleaching takes from a week to ten
days, the new one but a few hours. by
the former method there Is a loss in
weight Of from ten to twenty per cent,
and by this method almost nothing.
There is no loss of fibre by the new
process. The cloth never mildews,
but on the contrary ordinary bleached
cloth that has widowed may be puri-
fed in a brief period. Dyed cloth re.
tains the color, which deepens rather
than fails when treated with the newly
discovered preparation. The cotton
silk thus treated yields a softer, nicer,
and In various respects better material
for the needs OF commerce than does
the cotton boil. Even the root of the
cotton plant can now be used for
threads and cloths. All 1brous grOwths,

On a River in Siam.

Rain fell heavily during the night,
washing the face of nature, FURNISH
ing the trees, clearing the air and thus
Frightening the whole landscape. The
cool, fresh morning air that bathed
our hands and faces as we started soon
after daybreak was scented with the
fragrance of Towering shrubs and
trees, and the panorama we passed
through was delightful. Temples dec
GRATED with dark red and gold and the
picturesque monasteries were set like
gems in the beautiful fringes of foil

and girls, gayly attired in a striped
petticoat, or one Of small tartan,
and q silk scarf thrown over the left
shoulder, tripped along barefooted on
their way to the market with baskets
of flowers and garden produce.
Here agroup of men and women sat
squattin9 on the sands, having a chat
before crossing the ford. There men,
women and children, with their gar
ments tucked up above the knees,
laughed and joked as they waded the
stream. Groups of children playing
in the water dashed it about and
splashed each other. Cattle were low
ing on the banks on their way to pas
ture. The sun was lighting up the
bald pates and yellow garments of the
monksand acolytes, who were passing
in procession carrying their begging
bowls through the streets. Women
and children were reverently awaiting
the approach of the monks, and heap
ing little cups of rice and saucers Of
fish and condiments into their bowls,
while the monks-at least the young
ones, who have the reputation Of be-
ing jovial crew-peeped over their
fans, which are intended to veil fair
women from their sight. -Blackwood's
