Making Soap.

A valuable recipe that gave some years ago for making soap is asked for by an old subscriber, and as so many new ones have come to us, l know they will like to try it also.
 Take one can of concentrated potash to four pounds of good, clear grease. l bought beef tallow for the purpose, as l had no accumulation of fat, As some do who use a great deal of pork If you have that kind of grease. it must carefully be tried out and strained. Dissolve the potash in two gallons of lukewarm water. Melt the grease and let it get lukewarm then turn the dis solved potash into the grease, being careful not to lean over it, as very strong fumes arise from 1t, and remem- Der the potash must be poured into the grease. No boiling is necessary Stir thoroughly for fifteen minutes, away from the stove,
 Line shallow. wooden box with old muslin. and pour the mixture into it.; set in a warm place and cover tight; throw a heavy piece of carpet over it. Let it stand four days, when you can cut it into cakes and set away to dry.
 If perfume is desired, an ounce of any favorite odor will make it quite nice enough for toilet use. We used it to the exclusion of any other soap for a long time both for toilet and kitchen use.

HOW THREAD IS NUMBERED.
The Process That Gives the Seamstress
 Exactly What She Wants.

The seamstress, whether she wants No. 80 or 40 or l20 thread, knows from the number just what kind of sewing it can be used for. When $40 yards of yarn weigh 1000 grains, pound of cotton, the threadmakers mark it No. 1. If l,6S0 yards weigh pound it is marked No.2. For No.5O yarn it would take 50 multiplied by 489 to weigh a pound. This is the whole explanation of the yarn measurement as used by the spool manufacturer. The early man. ufactured thread was of three-cord, the number being derived from the number of yards to the pound just as it is to-day. No. 60 yarn made No. 60 thread, though in point of fact the actual caliber of No. 60 thread would equal No.50 yarn. being made of three No. 20 brand twisted together.
 When the sewing machine came into the market as a great thread consumer, unreasoning in its work and memorable in it's demands for mechanical accuracy, six-cord cotton had to be made in place of the old androugher three- cord it be- ing much smoother As thread num- bers were already established, they were not altered for the new article, says the Dry Goods Review, and No. 60 six-cord and No. 50 three-cord were left identical in both size and number. To effect this the six-cord has to be made of yarn twice as fine as that demanded in making the three cord variety. Tho No. 60 cord is made of six strands of No.120 yarn. The three-cord spool cotton is of the same number us the yarn is made of. Six-cord spool cotton is always made from double it's number Thread is a simple thing but simple as it is there are 2,000 kinds of it, and each kind goes through hundreds of different processes.

Two at One Shot.

We have all heard Baron Munchau- sens story of how he killed two lions at one shot. Sir Samuel Baker had n similar experience with buifaloes, al though not in the same way as the noble baron. He says: Upon two oc- casions on tho plain of Minneria killed two buTaloes with one bullet from the deadly three-ounce rifle. 1 discovered that fight was going on between two very large bulls. which were far too engaged to notice my presence. Seeing the opportunity fired exactly through the shoulder of the nearest and 1t dropped dead upon the spot thus unlocking the horns and releasing it's antagonis.. This ran for short distance. and then halting it faced about, reeled to and fro for about Il minute with bloody foam issu- ing from its mouth, and rolled sudden ly upon it's side. dead" Upon another occasion he fired upon herd passing by at n gallop The ball passed com pletely through two bufraloes running side by side and they both dropped in their tracks.

Microbes In AgricuIture.

The somewhat recent discovery and demonstration that the fertility of the soil is due to the presence in it of uv- inS germs or creatures and that they are active only when there are due proportions of certain vegetable and mineral substances. goes far toward tho solution of problems in agricultural practice for which there has been here tofore no sufficient one. Why old gardens should be manure-sick after years ot cultivation; why land should become cloyer-sick. dandelion-s plaintain-sick bull-thistle-sick. and sick of everything too long grown up on it. has never been so nearly clearly understood as now. It appears as if the work of preparing food for each separate plant was committed to one form of these microscopic creatures. and that for success in this work there must be certain essential mineral and vegetable clements; and. just as certain microbes which produce scarlet fever, whooping cough, and other germ diseases require a special medium to teNtidp anu Nufk III. ana alter that the medium becomes to them stsrilized, so the soil is sterile for & time after years of clover. plantain, dandelion. bull thistle, etc, etc, but subsequently, recovers. As for manure sick, it is simply the excess of vege.a- ble matter and perhaps nitrogen. with deficiency of the proper mineral sub stances that prevents the successful efforts of the little creatures to pre- pare the choice food Cor delicate veg etable organization That is the manure-sick gardens often produce the hardier and coascr vegetables. but fail with the others. But if lands may become sterile from an excess of ma nure they may as well from an excess of any of the essential mineral sub stances, and for good illustration of the latter, quote the fact that some cotton lands of the South have been rendered. almost wholly barren by too liberal and too long-continued appliea- ton of guano and other potash and phosphate fertilizers Country Gen. tlaman.

Some Peaplc Relieve xt.

The flea is capable of being tanned and of affording amusement to man by various little tricks. The first step in the process is to restrain his natural inclination to jump. This is done by placing him in u low, flat box with a glass lid. The flea, supposing that he has an open space overhead. jumps. strikes the glass with great violence and falls half-stunned. This dlscour- ages him, but unable to account for the phenomenon. he tries again and again. until at last. after some days, he ar rives at the conclusion that there is something altogether wrong with tho atmosphere, and that jumping must be abandoned. After this tho rest is easy. He can be taught to drag lit tic carriage. to sit on the box, to fire a tiny cannon. or to perform other feats Now York Continent.

Among the Poultry.

Fowls will eat a large quantity of clover.
 Feed young fowls liberally while growing.
 Copperas is good medicine to keep on hand for the poultry
 Tobacco stems are good to scatter about the nests.
 Hens will eat the parings of any kind of vegetables if cooked.
 From one bushel of corn hen will produce 10 dozen eggs, worth at least
 When it is possible the nests should be placed in separate place from the roosts.
 One great advantage with the incu- bator is that the matching is undss control.
 Feeding the ducks too much corn and getting them too fat will keep them from laying.
 Hens will keep in better health if they are obliged to scratch for a part of a living.
 Three kinds of food are essential to poultry, grain, green food and animal food of some kind.
 Copperas dissolved in water is a good as well us cheap tonic for poultry of all kinds.
 One advantage in keeping good breed of fowls is that generally they will receive better care.

4 Bronze Metal.

Passed Assistant Engineer [of the navyl John A. Tobin is the inventor of S bronze metal, winch has received much attention and general approval oi it's merits in it's specified uses for certain machinery of all the new cruisers constructed or in course of construction. It is now being manu- factured for the Government by the Ansonia Brass and Copper Company and experience shows that it can be forged and stamped as readily as steel; that 1t can be drop-iorged in the same manner as steel: that it possesses great tensile strength. touehness and elas- tieity when drawn into wire that. in the manufacture of gunpowyier. its un- liability to give of sparks makes 1t valuable, and the result of the tests, in comparison with other metals, shows many advantages.
