limitations OF Old RrOnZe.

An excellent imitation of old bronze
has been introduced in some of the art
products of that character. It is we'll
known that the repeated applications to
copper or brass of alternate washes of
dilute acetic acid and exposure to the
fumes of ammonia result in q very an
tique green bronze; but more rapid
method of producing this beautiful ap-
pearance has long been desideratum.
1t is now found that this may be accom-
plished by immersing the articles in a
solution of one part perchloride Of iron
in two parts of water, the tone acquir-
ing darkness with length of immersion,
or tine materials may be boiled in a
strong solution of nitrate of copper. It
is also found practicable to insure the
desired effect by immersing the articles
in solution of two ounces of nitrate of
iron and the same quantity of hyposul-
phite of soda in half pint of water,
drying and furnishing completing the
process. New York Telegram.

Meth cd of Embalming.

There are various methods for en-
balming bodies, but the ''Brnnelli pro-
cess" is held to be the best. In perform
ing that the circulatory system is
cleansed by washing with cold water till
it issues quite clear from the body. This
may occupy from two to five hours.
Alcohol is injected so rs to take out rs
much water rs possible. This occupies
about querter of IN hour. Ether is
then injected to abstract the fatty mat
ter. This occupies from two to ten
hours. A strong solution of tannin is
then injected. This occupies for im5i-
baton from two to ten hours. The body
is then dried in. n current of warm air
passed over heated chloride of calcium.
This may occupy from two to FIVE hours.
The body is then perfectly preserved
and resists decay. Herald.

Learn to be Housekeapers.

Begin with your own possessions,
girls. Reform your upper bureau
drawer; relieve your closet-pegs OF their
accumulation of garments out of use a
mouth or two ago. Institute clear
and careful order in the midst of which
you can daily move, and learn to keep
it so that it will be part of your
toilet to dress your room AMI its a.
rangements while you dress yourself,
leaving the draperies you take off as
lightly and aristically hung, or as
delicately folded and placed, as the
skirts you loop carefully to wear, Or
the ribbon and lace you put with a soft
neatness about your throat. Cherish
your instincts OF taste and fitness in
every little thing you have about you.
This will not make you "fussy," it is
the other thing that does that. the lot
knowing, except by tidgety experiment,
what is harmony and the intangible
grace of relation.
Take upon yourself gradually, for
the sake of getting them in hand in
like manner, if for no other need, all
the cares that belong to your own small
territory of home. Have your little
wash-cloths and your sponges for bits
of cleaning; your furniture brush, and
your feather buster, and your light lit
tie broom, and your whisk and pan;
your bottle of sweet oil and spirits OF
turpentine and piece OF flannel to pre-
serve the polish, or restore the gloss
where dark wood grows dim or gets
spotted. Find out, by following your
surely growing sense of thoroughness
and niceness, the best and readiest ways
of keeping all fresh about you. Invent
your own processes; they will come to
you. When you make yourself wholly
mistress of what you can learn and do
in your own apartments, so that it is
easier and more natural for you to do
it than to let it alone, then you have
learned to keep a whole house SO far
as its clearly ordering is concerned

Wizards Mortgage.

Mr.. Willard has no sooner come back
to us than he blankets his '.interests'
with mortgage for $3.50, 900, 900. This
must give even the mortgage-loving
far mer pause. Let us recall the rhyme
of Will Carleton, where the mortgage
never rested. The farmer slept at
night but the mortgage was still lay
ing up something for rainy day. The
farmer knocked off on hot noon and
went to the creek to crowd the kline
from the water, but mortgage never
funked.
We may picture pioneer in log
house, the chickens at his door, the
calves in his corn, the children clasp
ing the solitary skirt of the mother as
the observer drives by. With what a
dry throat must that pioneer swallow
his johnuy-cake if he stop to think that
mortgage for $3.50, 000,OOO is laying
its deadly siege around his fortunes.
Of what use to chase the weasels out
OF the spring-house; OF what profit to
grub the oak shrubs out OF the fence
corners; OF what amusement to go to
the circus. when at every instant the
mortgage for $3.50, 900 is closing
its anaconda folds!
1t is financial thought that only the
sturdy in mind should harbor. It is,
withal, a considerable genius for mort
cages, il we remember that Mr.. Viii
lard has less to hypothecate than has
the average pioneer. People in this
region, therefore, would do we'll to
keep very still If they do not wish to

The Reinsurance Of the Fan.

A Scientific Age.
oh, what a restless age is this

oh, what restless age is this
OF scientific art;
An age that scorns all sentiment
And tenderness of heart;
An age OF foul suspicious, doubts.
Our old traditions, too,
We're told in cold, prosaic way,
Are found to be untrue.
Sir Walter Raleigh didn't spread
His cloak before the queen,
In order that her majesty
Should keep her slippers clean.
Nor did Win Shakespeare write play
Again we have been sold;
And Mary never had lamb
Twas Lucy, we are told.
And last not least, some learned men
Do boldly certify
That Washington, without doubt,
Had often told lie.
The cutting of the cherry tree
Was nothing but a myth;
And Pocahontas didn't save
The life Of Capt Smith.
Now what on earth can we believe
That's either right or wrong!
Why. Just believe. as do now,
That we have lived too long.

How II Rules and SweHs In the
Land Of Dixie.

Land Of Dixie.
From the report of the convention OF
Georgia farmers in the Savannah News:
The Georgia Southern & Florida for
warded 542 carloads of melons.
To give you an idea OF the wonderful
possibilities of this business 1 submit
the results obtained by James P. Sharp
of Clay county for the years 1885 and
1887:
In 1885 Mr.. Sharp planted seventy
acres in watermelons. This crop was
cultivated by two mules. Mr.. Sharp
shipped sixty-three carloads of melons,
containing $50 to 1000 melons per
car. Many acres made a carload each.
Five measured acres made six and
three-fourths carloads. This crop
sold for $9, 500 in round numbers.
Freights, commissions, fertilizers, cul-
tivators, etc., cost 81, 800, leaving net
profit of $1,000, or 81, 900 t. tie mules
and about $29 per acre.
In 1887 Mr.. Sharp planter sixty
acres in melons and sold forty four car
loads for $4.400. He paid his entire
expenses with $1,000, and made clear
money s., 400, or $1,7O0 to the pillow
and about $57 to the acre.
George w. Scott, the senior partner
of large fertilizer factory, makes to
me this significant statement: "Five
years ago only per cent OF the farm
ers in Georgia paid cash for their fer
tilizers; now 25 per cent pay cash out
of their own money. Five years ago
nearly all the farmers gave cotton
option for fertilizers; now so per cent
of the farmers give bank notes, and
pay them promptly at maturity, like
other business men," We are upon
the beginning of great future for
Georgia and the south.
DR.. Oemler says that prior to 1852
no crop had been grown in Georgia or
in the south expressly for the northern
markets.
The varieties that used to be grown
for the northern market were the
"rattlesnake," the "mountain sweet, :"
the Pearson" the ''scaly bark" and
the Cuban queen" but the 'Kolb
gen. is the principal variety that has
been shipped the past year or two.
The melon industry has now grown
to such large proportions that it re-
quires almost as much attention from
the railroads and steamers as the
orange crop of Florida.

The Air-Brake.

Under the middle of the car the ordi-
nary pull-rod of the old mandrake is
cut and two levers are inserted. One
lever is connected with the brake
cylinder, and the other with the piston
which slides in that cylinder. When
air is admitted to the cylinder the
piston is driven out, and the brakes
are applied exactly as they would be
were the chains wound up by turning
the hand-wheels. Air is supplied to
the brake cylinder from the reservoir
near it, in which the pressure is main
tanned by the action of an air-com-
pressing pump placed on one side of
the locomotive. The pump fills the
main reservoir on the engine, and also
the Car reservoirs, by means of the
train pipe which extends under all the
cars. When the brakes are off there
is full pressure of air in all of the
car reservoirs and train pipes. 1t is a
reduction of the pressure in the train
pipes which causes the brakes to be
applied.
: This fact must be borne in mind, for
It is on this principle that the auto
matte action of the brakes depends. If
a train parts, or if the air leaks out of
the train pipe, the brakes go on. This
automatic principle is vital one in
most safety appliances, and it is Sc
cured in the case of the air brake by
ono of the most ingenious little devices
that man ever contrived. that is the
triple valve, which is placed in the
piping system between the back cylin-
der and the car reservoir. This triple
valve has passages to the brake cylin-
der, to the car reservoir, to the train
pipe and to the atmosphere. Which of
these passages are open and which
are closed depends upon the position
inside of the triple valve, and the posi-
tion of that piston is determined by
the difference in air pressure on either
side OF 1t. Thus when the pressure in
the train pipe is greater than in the
car reservoir, the triple valve piston is
forced over, say to the left, a commu-
nication is opened from the train pipe
to the car reservoir, and the air pres
sure in the latter is restored from the
main reservoir on the locomotive. At
the same time passage is opened
from the brake cylinder to the atmos-
phere, the compressed air escapes, the
brake piston is driven back by
spring, and the brakes are released

An Extraordinary Grass Crop.

Landlord Ross having a moment OF
leisure the other day and his specially
as member of the bureau being the
crops, l asked him, says a Ham
mondsport letter to the New York Sun
how grass had turned out here this
season.
"Big," he said. Biggest kind.
Judging from what Adsit Bailey tells
me / should judge that there has never
been such crop of grass in old Steuben
as there has been this year. Adsit
Bailey's farm is over on the other side
of the lake. He says his grass was SO
heavy that it came near starving a
flock of ninety-seven sheep to death
for him. That may seem queer to you,
but it'd be plain enough if you knew
anything about sheep and Adsit Bailey.
Adsit says that week or two before
he cut his grass his flock of ninety-sev-
en- sheep suddenly disappeared one
day. He secured the country for miles
around for those lost sheep, but
couldn't find pelt nor wool of them.
1t was one of the most mysterious dis
appearances ever known on the lake
and big wipe on Adsit, for ninety
seven big, fat sheep don't come up in
q night, can tell you, even in this
fertile region. When his grass got
ready to cut Adsit went at it. and he
hadn't cut swath twenty yards from
his house when he heard sound lik e
the feeble bleat OF sheep. Looking
down he discovered a sheep, very thin
and hardly able to move. Adsit scout
ed around in the field and found the
whole ninety-seven lost sheep, all of
them in the last stages of starvation
and within stones throw of the house.
The sheep had got out OF their pasture
into the meadow. and the grass was SO
high and thick, Adsit says, that they
got lost. Sheep won't eat when they
find they are lost, and so that flock of
ninety-seven roamed aimlessly about in
the midst of such abundance and pinned
away, as effectually hidden as if they
had been in deep forest, Adsit says,
so beautifully had nature lavished it
self on that field of timothy.
Eyes, sir" said Landlord Ross, 81
wouldn't wonder but what we'll have
more hay this fall than some folks has
money"
