The Tradesman gives the following

The TradeSmdn gives the following in
answer TO the query how tin-foil Is
made: The tin is melted and run INTO
blocks weighing from 205 pounds 10
40 pounds each, and in this form the
metal is kent for ordinary use. The
old method for reducing 1t to necessary
thinness for foil was by hammering it
by hand as the gold-beaters do gold leaf,
and this process is still kept i'll vogue TO
limited extent. This, however, is d
very laborious process, as the sheet
must be constantly beaten. without in
termission, TO keep up the heat genera
ted by the continuous strokes OF the
hammer, and the great drawback 10 IL
was that only one surface or face could
he produced. The introduction of
rolling machinery has completely revo-
lutlonized the trade. SO that in place of
importing we now export. In these
mills the metal is given beautiful pol
ish on both sides 1t is then cut INTO
widths of twelve inches TO fifteen
inches, rolled on reels, and cut in order
by cutting machines. The great ad-
vantage of machine rolled foil over the
hand-beaten foil is that while the latter
is full of minute holes SO small as not
to be visible to the naked eye, the for
mer is, as rule, perfectly intact, and
thus being air-tight, forms a wrapper
that cannot he equaled 10y any other
substance.

SCIENTIFIC.

The mystery TO many people how the
scourers of old clothes can make them
almost as good as new is explained Ia
the American Analyst as follows: Take.
for instanc, a shiny old coat, vest or
PAIR of pants, of broadcloth, cassimeir
or diagonal. The scourer makes a
strong, warm soapsuds, and plunges
the garment into il, souses II up AMI
down, rubs the dirty places; If nece.- =
sary, puts it through second time
then rinses il through several waters
and hangs il to dry on the line When
nearly dry he takes it in, rolls 1t up fol
an hour or two, and then presses IT, An
old cotton cloth is laid on the outside
of the coat and the iron passed over
that until the wrinkles are out; but the
iron is removed before the steam ceases
to rise from the goods, else they would
be shiny. Wrinkles that are obstinate
are removed by laying a wet cloth over
them and passing the iron over that
If any shiny places are seen they are
treated as the wrinkles are-the iron Is
lifted while the full cloud of steam
rises and brings the nap up with IT.
Cloths should have a suds made
specially for them, as IN that which
has been used for white cotton or
wooden clothes lint will be left in the
water and cling to the cloth. In this
manner We have known the same coat
and pantaloons TO be renewed time
and time again, and have all the look
and feel of new garments. Good
broadcloth and its fellow cloths will
bear many washings, and look better
every time because of them. The same
treatment may be applied to woman's
dress goods. If all wool they may be
renovated TO look like new.

SCALLoPED CLAMS.-iIeat fifty
small sand clans in a pan until they
open of themselves. Remove them
from the shells and save the liquor for
clam bouillon, which is often the only
nourishment that can be taken in cases
of irritation of the stomach, gastritis
or other troubles of the digestion. Chip
the CLAIMS into tiny bits, season them
with black pepper and ground mace.
Mix them with bread crumbs and but

liquor. Bake them until a delicate
brown in large, clean clamshells, which
you can reserve for this purpose. AL

FARM NOTES.

PRTPARING THE GRoUND.-Tren-

I dug across the garden plot, the distance
being IL feet from the center of one
trench TO the centre of the next one,
which leaves a distance of Z feet be
| tween the trenches The bottom OF
the trench is level and cemented, the
sides being brought up four inches,
making il into the shape of trough,
which is level in every part and perfect
ly water-tight. The trough Is then
filled with fragments of stone, shells,
pieces OF wood, or anything that will
answer. II preferred boards one inch
thick and four inches wide are set on
edge about an inch apart, small spaces
being left tetween the boards that the
water may peTcolate freely At inter-
walls of few feet, boxes made of SIX
inch boards are set upright, reaching
above the level OF the ground, to give a
supply of air. The stones, shells or
boards are then covered with grass OF
brush, and the earth thrown on until
the trench is filed to the level of the

was removed being again placed on the

The trenches, acting rs drains, carry
off all surplus water during long-con-
tinued wet periods, especially in early
spring, thus rendering the ground
warmer than it would he otherwise, and
during drought the wate. in the trenches
is drawn TO the surface 10y capillary at
traction, which supplies the growing
plants at all times with the exact
amount of water required. The ex-
pense is probably too heavy for those of
limi ed means, the cost of an acre being
from $500 TO $1,000; but it is claimed
that the system enables the Florida
gardner TO produce vegetables yielding
$1,000 per acre. y very small garden,
however, will produce more fruit
(strawb-rriesl and vegetables than
family can consume; and when the syS-
TEN is practiced on a larger space better
results can he obtained from one acre
than from ten acres cultivated in the
ordinary manner. Sub irrigation Will
serve To bring the farms closer together,
small plots being used more extensively,
and though IL may not come into gen
erll practice for a decade or more, yet
it is the beginning of a system that Is
sure TO affect the present methods TO a
certain extent IN the future.

Did Eve Talk French2

No subject has been more fertile OF
speculation than the origin of language
and on few, perhaps, can less satIsfac-
ton be obta mel. The Jewish lositiye-
ly insist that the Hebrew tongue is the
primitive language, and that spoken by
Adam and Eve. The Arabs, however,
dispute the point on antiquity with the
Hebrew. OF all the languages, excep.
the Hebrew, the SyTi has had the
greatest number of advocates, especially
among eastern authors. Many main
tain that tie language spoken by Adam
is lost and that the Hebrew, Chaldee
and Arabic are only dialects of the or
iginal tongue. Goropius published a
woIk in 1880 to prove that Dutch WAS
the language spoken IN paradise.
Andre Kemp maintained that God
spoke To Adam in Swedish. Adam
answered in Danish, and Eve spoke in
French, while the Persians believe
Jhrec languages to have been spo4 en- In
,,aradise-Arabic, the most persuasive,
by the serpent; Persian the most poetic,
by Adam and Eve. and Turkish. ths
most threatening by the Angel Gabriel.
Erro claims Basque as the language
spoken by Adam, and others would
make the PolynesIan as the primitive
language of mankind. Leaving, how
ever, these startling theories, we may
sum up in the words of Darwin:
With respect TO the origin of
art culate languages, after having read
n one side of the highly interesting
works Of Wedgew0od, Farrar and Pro-
lesser Schleicher, and the ce' ebrated
lecture of Professor MIX Muller on the
other side, L cannUt doubt that langu-
age owes its origin to the imitation and
modification, aided by signs and gest-
res, of natural sound, voices of other
Inimals and mans own cries. Cur
