Sources OF Color.

An interesting enumeration has been
made by somebody and published in a
technical journal of the sources of color.
From this it appears that the cochineal
insects furnish the gorgeous carmine,
crimson, scarlet, carmine and purple
lakes; the cuttlefsh gives sepia-that
is, the inky fluid which the fish dis
charges in order to render the water
Opaque when attacked; the Indian yell
low comes from the camel; ivory chips
produce the ivory black and boneblack !;
the exquisite prussian blue comes from
fusing horse hoofs and other refuse ami
NAL matter with impure potassium car
Donate; various lakes are derived from
roots, banks and gums blue black comes
from the charcoal of the vine stock !;
turkey red is made from the madden
plant, which grows in Hindustan; the
yellow sap of a Siam free produces gam
boge; raw sienna is the natural earth
from the neiahborhood of Siena, Italy !;
raw lumber is an earth found near UNI
bria and burned; india ink is made
from burned camphor; mastic is made
! from the gum of the mastic tree. which
grows in the Gresian- archipelago; bis
ter is the SCOT Of wood ashes; very little
real ultramarine, obtained from the
precious lapis lazuli, is found in the
market; the Chinese white is zinc, scar
let is iodide of mercury, and vermilion
is from tho quicksilver ore cianabar.

Citric Acid.
Journal.

Enormous quantities of citric acid are
used in calico printing. in pharmacy and
in the preparation of artificial lemonade
About I, ounces (510 grains) Of pure
citric acid dissolved in pint of water
gives Il solution which has the average
acidity of good lemon juice. When di
luted with several times its bulk of wa
ter, sweetened with sugar and scented
with a single drop Of essence of lemon.
all artificial lemonade is cheaply pro-
duced, which is mach used as cooling
drink i'll fever hospitals.
1t has also been used in the navy as n
substitute for fresh lemon Juice in the
treatment or prevention of scurvy, but
has been found much less efficient. In
fact, this artificial lemonade is BY no
means equal to that made from pure
lemon juice whether used at table or
for invalids. In rheumatism or rheu-
matte govt the fresh juice Of the lemon
is preferred On account Of the hcitrate
of potash which it contains. Pure lemon
juice is also valuable remedy IN sore
throat and diphtheria. Gases have been
recorded i'll which children have appar.
emily been cured Of this terrible disease
by constantly sucking oranges or lemons.
Pure citric acid possesses, like some
other acids, the power Of destroying the
bad effects CT polluted water used fox
drinking, but it is perhaps best to boi!
tho water before adding little citric
acid to it.-Chambers' Journal.

The Republic of Jones.

There TaS n government i'll existence
within the limits of my state during the
late war that / find no mention OF in
the histories, said Mr.. +. NJ. Holden
of Mississippi. 'In the early days Of
secession the county of Jones, through
its leading citizens, withdrew from tine
Confederacy, declared themselves n free
and independent people, organized a
government, adopted constitution
modelled after that of the United States,
called this new government the re-
public of Jones', elected a president
and full quota Of officials and re-
fused TO furnish men or money to the
southern cause. On the APPROACH of
Confederate troops they would retreat
10 the swamps and other inaccessible
place; anl remain in hiding till the
danger had passed. They KEEP: up this
queer attitude of hostility to their own
brethren, 80 far as I am informed, to
the,close Of the war. but the republic
Of Jones passed out Of the memory of
men with the event oYAppomattox, and
the mention of it now in that locality
is only cause for smiles. Washing

Some Of the Quaint breathing Spots In
the English Metropolis.
Some of these are quaint and charm
ing enough, being mostly laid out in the
Dutch fashion. Golden squire, near
Regent street; Rcd Lion and Queen
squares, in Bloomsbury, are capital
saecimens. The first, though So close to
Regent street, might be dozen miles
away. There is welcome ulIkempt
hess; the grass is rank and wild; there
are old trees ranged round its border in
a symmetrical way. The houses round
are picturesque, because each is distinct.
1t is given over to commission agents,
merchants and trade generally, yet
within but few years it was Il place Of
genteel residence, like usual square,
and We find the late Cardinal Wisemnn
living in substantial mansion here.
Dickens, it will be remembered, placed
Ralph Nicklebw's house hero, which is
described on the occasion of the party to
Sir Frederick and Sir Mulberry rs hay
ing almost palatial apartments and the
richest furniture. As we wander round,
we are struck with the melancholy tone
CT the Enclosure, yet everything seems
brisk enough, but it belongs to the old
world.
The square itself is very attractive
and original, with sort of Dutch or
foreign air. Wenote the fine trees which
shelter it all ropnd in symmetrical
lines and the Roman warrior sort of
statue in the center, afTayed in full
armQr and representing George IL. The
grass and walks are laid out with a GER
tain free and easy carelessness that is
very acceptable and contrasts with the
trim, shavcn, s0Nlless treatment of mod
ern squares. Altogether visit to Gold
Ell square will interest.

Yet it has an extraordinary sympathetic
attraction from its grass and fine shad

has noted that these loafy patriarchs
seem to range in two rows down the
middle, like an avenue. The fact is. it
was the demesi;c of the lawn in front
of the old Berkeley House, which stood
at the back of Deyonshire House. The
mansions round are very fine, and the
iron work, ratings, etc, are all admired
and to te admired. There are some
queer things TO be told about squares,
for instance, that there was General
Strcde who had mania for setting up
statues in squares at his own expense.
We have seen equestrian statues in
Leicester square propped up with a
broonstick, with portions broken away.

The Mule and the Peasant.

One day mule who was drawing 4
cart along a highway suddenly came to
q stop and began lamentinR his hard
fate.
"How, now, you ingrate!" shouted
the peasant in reply. "Are You not well
fed and lodged, and do ever ask You
to work on the Sabbath day"
But behold the muddy highway :"
replied the mule. MY strength is taxed
to the utmost to pull my load. ="
Idiot of a mule, it is owing to the
mud that have loaded the cart with
only 900 pounds! If there was no mud,
I'd insist that you draw 1,0O0l'
