•' no, » ♦<> Blench Beeswax.
.It is said by the New York TVitim,
lhat io 18(51 tn$ following plan was em«
ployed to bleach beeswax, the plan no(
g proteoted by patent, but the secret
my carefully kept. Mr. Langstrotli
was tire originator: The wax was put
J nto *,bettle with water, tho water be-
mg added' to keep the wax from barm
\BM- Wax in more inflammable than oil.
The melted wax was put into a tin box
having hole* in the bottom, which al
lowed it to fall on a roller that revolved
in water. It was then placed on cloths
and exposed to the sun. Three melt
ings were necessary before the operation
was complete. It was broken up in the
morning before the sun arose to heat it.
The dirt would fall into the water.
Preserving Seed. Corn.
After seed corn is dried clear through
to the center of the cob care is still re
quired in keeping it until ready for use.
Many leave it hanging in a dry place in
whii h it was cured, which is unobjec
tionable if always protected from damp
ness, frost and vermin—the great t re
quisites in keeping the seed properly
after it .is. cured. Corn in traeos may
well bo stripped of its husks and dried
on a floor before packing away, to be
sure all moisture in the butts is dried out.
A_ well dried ear will snap like a dry
stick when broken. If it is properly
d:y, Ihany good farmers prefer to leave
the seed on the ear until about ready to
plant, believing that this guards against
the sweating process which it passe?
through when stored in any quantity.
If the oars are packed in barrels, avoid
using salt barrels.
Others prefer shelling and sacking
(sacks are not so retentive of heat or
moisture as boxes or barrels), small bags
not over one bushel in capacity being
better than larger ones. Careful shell-
ing by hand, rather than by^machine, so
as not. to crack the grains or injure the
germ, is a good practice. This shelling
may not be done until midwinter or later,
but many advocate doing it as soon ai
the corn is well dried, to secure it against
dampness caused ly warm spells iu
winter. Too much care cannot be taken
to keep the cured seeds dry and away
from frost. , N. M. Luiton stores it in
the cellar in boxes or sacks cn sup; orts
nailed to the joists of the first floor, where
it is always dry and warm, especially if
there is a furnace in the cellar. E. J.
Heat puts the seed in slatted boxes hung
under the joists of the second story of his
workshop, the lower story having a fire
in it in cold weather. That frost will
not injure the germ of well cured seed
is believed .by some, but the most care
ful growers keep the seed away from
the frost the year around.
Farmers who carefully follow tho
above method with seed corn will not
have to replant, even in unfavorable
seasons. From ninety-five to ninety-
nine per cent, of such seed will germinate
in practiqo. This last statement is based
on long experience by many careful ub-'
servers; -it—is- not-theory. 3-fe—ia poor
vitality, not cold or wot,'that causes so
much seed corn to rot in the ground.
John Gould proved this by germinating
one hundred per cent, of good seed in
mud at a temperature of forty-five de
grees, although it took twenty days.
Above all, such seed will steadily im
prove the yield and ripen the crop'with-
in ninety to one hundred days in average
seasons.—American Agriculturist.
Fruit in Cellars.
A correspondent ot the New England
Farmer has the following advice to offer
on the subject of the storage of fruit in
cellars: "When the late apples and peurs
are first gathered they are hard and ined
ible, but soon alter they are stored away
important changes take place in them.
They becone mellow and juicy, tho
change taking place slowly or rapidly,
according to the temperature of the
place where the truit is kept. For the
sake of the fruit it is desirable that tho
change should take place slowly, for the
fruit thus ripened always proves supe
rior to that .whose maturity lias been
forced by a warmer temperature. The
warmer the room the faster the apples
and pours ripen, and for this reason it is
desirable that the temperature should be
kept at only a few degrees above the
freezing point.
As the fruit ripens one of the most im
portant changes that will take place is
the absorption of oxygen fram the air
and the giving out of carbonic acid gas.
This change is so important and so detri
mental to the health of those living in
the same house, that if a lowed to go on
it will in time very likely cause severe
illness. If a room is used only for the
storage of apples, and the place kept
perfectly closed, the carbonic acid gas
that will bo given out in a short time
will be sufficient to extinguish the flame
of a lamp when carried into the room,
and if a person should breathe tho ait
long enough death would inevitably re
sult. The gas taken in large quantities,
is a poison, and even in partly closed
rooms where fr-.it is stored, severe head
aches and other unpleasant feelings are
produced by breathing the impure air.
It is a common practice to store largo
quantities of fruit iu the cellar of thu
dwelling house, and a great deal of dis
comfort and unpleasantness are caused
thereby, the source of which is not sus
pected. farmers who make a scientific
and intelligent study of their surround
ings have detached cellars, or those un
der some out-building, where the fruit is
stored. Where large quantities are kept,
a pit is dug in the earth below the frost
line, and some of the later pears and
|pp!es buried there with straw until
^bruary or March. This is a gcod
j tlco with those who can aflotd thf
I ’ and time ior tho work; but many
I to keep the fruit in the house cellar,
H -v keep it at all. To them a fe\V
J fuay be tne means of preventing
discomfort and even sickness in
tmily.
•ing the month of February stored
[fruit ripens more rapidly than earlier in
the year, and more of the poisonous car
bonic acid gas is given off as a result,
This gas must not bo allowed to pormo
ato the dwelling house: it must b«
tamed off ia some other channel. Ii
there is no chance to communicate th«
cellar with the chimney and a flue thui,
opened, the poisonous exhalation must
be carrietj, away by thorough ventilation.
If the flue can be opened ‘a current ol
air can be kept in motion at all times,
a&d the poison will ba readily removed
from the building; but if this is impossi
ble the door and windows of the cellar
should be opened on every mild day. A
thermometer should be kept hanging
in the store-room or cellar, and when the
mercury is four or five degrees above
the freezing point, ventilate freely,
taking care to shut up before the tem
perature falls.
To do all this will require considera
ble watchfulness and labor, but when
we consider thatit is a question of health
or unhenlthfulness there can bo but little
doubt that few will object to doing it.
Wherever possible fruit should be stored
in cellars away from the dwelling house,
as it was never meant to be kept in tne
latter place.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Horses need plenty of bedding.
Do not let plants bear seed unless you
need it.
It requires two persons to set out a
tree properly.
If the soil is not naturally dry, let it be
well drained.
Pure-bred stock can be raised almost
as cheaply as mongrels. “Breed from
the best.”
The soil around newly set trees should
be kept mellow'—this by stirring or
mulching.
Keep your young chicks out of the
wet grass if you wish to have them thrive
and do well.
Sentiment does not replace the money
expended to winter the broken down,
useless farm horse.
Do not forget that tho best place for
hot soapsuds on washing day is the cu
cumber and melon patch.
Which is the cheaper to keep a pound
of flesh on the animal during the winter
or replace it in the spring?
When you notice a caterpillar nest on
the roadside or field, destroy it. If neg
lected, your o; chard will suffer.
It is said that “butter-making, ns.now
practiced on many farms, is an absoluto
waste of valuable raw material.”
Sound feet and limbs, a level head
and rapid walk, are points to be pre
ferred in a draft horse, regardless of
breed.
Imperfect compacting of the soil
around the seed, in which is included
undue hardening of the surface by rains,
is the chief cause of failure iu seed
germination.
If tho warts are of a large size and
have a well-defined neck, they may bo
safely removed by tying a thread tightly
about the neck, and this will prevent
the circulation of blood in them, and in
a few days they will die, after which re
move with a sharp knife.
Empty llottle Collectors.
Those who have seen the empty bottle
jollectors in their daily rambles about the
city would little think, observes the
New York Telegram, that intellect is re
quired for such business. The truth is,
a large amount of knowledge may be
profitably utilized even in this humble
calling.
A Telegram reporter visited an old bot
tle establishment, and while wandering
through the building learned a few se
crets of the trade. Hot water and soda
tanks and rows of bins on both sides of
the room, built like mammoth pigeon
holes and extending to the ceiling, were
the principal fixtures in the apartment.
The bins were full of different kinds of
bottles.
“In this age of patent medicine and
wildcat whisky,” said one of the bottle
washers, “it keeps a man busy to keep
track of all the differet kinds of bot
tles.”
The number of different brands run
far into the thousands, and as they are
not of value it is easy to see that a dealer
in old bottles has to keep his eye3 peeled.
Many of the patent medicine concerns
are so dignified that they will not use
the same bottles twice, and if the name
of the firm is blown in tho glsss, such
l ottles are of no value except for old
glass. Hundreds of the various com
pound and extract companies, however,
fire glad to pay fair prices for their old
bottles, and on this fact the success of
the gatherer depends. New brands of
jnedicine, etc., are being constantly put
upon the market, and as soon as the live
merchant finds them floating about in
the garbage boxes he sets to work to find
out if they can be profitably returned.
Plain bottles such as are used for pop,
table sauces and spirituous liquors have
Btandard prices, and can be sold at many
places.
The old bottle business is much like
that of collecting old coin, aud no doubt
we shall soon see the many brands of
bottles catalogued with as much pre
cision as is noted in the books of coin.
Aucicnt Halley Compared With a
Cunarder.
In an article on modern ocean steamers
»n English authority says in tho Fort-
nightly lie iew: Compare a galley, a
vessel propelled by oars, with the modern
Atlantic liner; and first let us assume
that pi ime movers are non existent and
that this vessel is to be propelled galley
fashion. Take her length as some GOO
feet, and assume that place be found for
as many as 400 oars on each side, each
oar worked by three men, or 2400 mcn-
and allow that six men under these con
ditions could develop work equal to one
horse power, we should have 400-horse
power. Double the number of men, and
we should have isOO-horse power, with
4800 n:-en at work, and at least the same
number in reserve if the jpurney is to be
carried on continuously. Contrast the
puny result thus obtained with 10,500-
horse power given forth by a large prime
mover of the present day, such a power
requiring, on the above mode of calcula
tion, 117,000 men at work and 117,000
in reserve, and these to be carried in a
vessel less than GOO feet in length. To
wbat and to whom are these meritorious
prime movers due? I answer: To the
application of science, and to the labors
of the civil engineer, using that term in
its full and proper sense as embracing all
engineering other than military. I am,
as you. know, a civil engineer, and I
desire to laud my profession and to"
magnify mine office; and I know of no
better means of doing this than by quot
ing to you the definition of “civil engi
neering,” given in the charter of the
Institution of Civil Engineers, namely,
that it is “the art of diiecting the great
sources of power in nature for the use
and convenience of man.”

African Slavery.
It has become fashionable to patrol the
East African coast to prevent s'ave
dhows from continuing the export of
-slaves. For tu iny years England has
been performing this function alone.
Now, howover, that an agreement has
been made between England and Ger
many, whjrcby the latter is to assist in
the work, the other powers are offering
ships, and the dhows promise to have a
hard time of it. Franco, Italy, Austiia,
Russia and Grieco all wiut to take pnrt
now in the laudable work. Whether the
blockalo of the coast will assist the
German scheme for colonizing tho terri
tory obtained from Zanzibar is another
matter. It is quite possible that it will
irritate tho Arabs and cause stubborn re
sistance to Germany’s policy of territo
rial acquisition in the interior as well as
on the coast. The Pope is urging the
extinction of slavery, and is imploring
all the crowned heads to assist. Eman
cipation in Brazil has knocked down one
of tho chief props of the monarchy, aud
resulted iu an agitation for the abolition
of imperial institutions and tho substi
tution of a republic. The anti-slavery
leaders, encouraged by their successes,
naturally took up the cry against royalty,
aud were as naturally assisted by the
former slaveholders who had lost their
property at tho hands of the empire.
To meet the storm, the reigning sover
eign has resorted to all sorts of diplo

granting of titles and honors of various
hue. The princess even went so far
some time ago as to drop upon her knees
in the street to kiss the child of the
leading Repub ican orator—Joso de
Patrocinio —who was leading it along by
the hand. The stratagem was most ef
fective, for since then Patrocinio has
stood by the sovereign. With the de
parture of slavery and Don Pedro’s
death, must, come radical changes, in
spite of the close relations maintained
commercially and otherwise with the
monarchies of Europe.

follows to the London Daily Telegraph:
“I especially have a pleasant remembrance
of the ship’s doctor—a very experienced mari

ly during a horrible spell of bronchitis and
spasmodic asthma, provoked by the sea fog
which had swooped down on us just after we
left San Francisco. Eut the doctor’s prescrip
tions and the Increasing warmth of the tem
perature as we neared the Tropics, and in par
ticular, a couple of Aw.cock’s Porous Plas

Praying*on Brooklyn Bridge.
“Do you see that old woman there?”
said a bridge policeman who is stationed
at the New York end -of the big aerial
thoroughfare to Brooklyn to a bun man.
“Just watch her and see what she does. ’
She was a tidily-dressed old woman,
with a pale, sad face, and sle was mak
ing her way slowly through the tangle
of trucks, carriages and pedestrians in
Park row, opposite the bridge entrance.
She reached the curb at last and slowly
mounted tho steps to tho bridge en
trance. Instead of following the crowd
to the cars or footway, she went over to
the north -^vall of the entrance, whero
she stood a moment as though meditat
ing. Then she suddenly knelt down,
and, with h r eyes closed and her head
bowed, began moving her lips as if in
prayer. She was on her knee3 but a
moment, when she got nimbly to her
feet and moved toward tho promenade
entrance, where she pa d her cent and
started on foot toward Brooklyn.
“Every day at about this hour that
same woman comes here and goes
through precisely that same programme.
I asked her one day when she started
away what was the matter, and she said,
‘I was only praying,’ and that is all I
ever got out of her. Whether she is
afraid the bridge will fall when she
gets on it, and so prays beforo sotting
out on tho dangerous journey,or whether
she is in the habit of praying at about
that time of day and finds the bridge
entrance a nice retired spot for religious
exercise, I nover could (ind out. All I
know is that she comes every day and
prays every day. and see.ns a perfectly
rational, respectable old body. The fact
is that wo here on the bridge do see
some queer specimens of humanity
among the tens of thousands who go by
us every day.”

Aunt Jane. Well, Mildred, I Buppoee X
should not oxpeot a girl of your age to bo up on
such matters, but certainly her mother ought to
be It happens that only a short time ago I
was reading an artiolo on Etiquette in my in-
fallib e guide entitled, “Before and After the
Marriage Engagement..” I Will lend the mag
azine to you, which will answer nil your ques
tions. And now, that you are contemplating
marriage, let me give you a little advice. Do
not start off like your mother did, to always de
pend on othorj for her information. Your
mother always says, “Go a«k Aunt Jane, she
knows everything.” Well, I am egotistical
enough to admit that I can generally give In
formation on almost every suhj cot that comes up
in the home circle, and yet I will tell you can
didly that every hit of my household knowledge
has been’ gained from reading Demorcst’s
Monthly Magazine. It covers absolutely every
point interesting to a family, and without it I
would be lost for answers to your numerous
questions. Every mother should tako it, and
every girl like you, who is contemplating start
ing a now home, should put that down as tho
fi'st requisite. May bo you think my praise is
too strong. Weill try for yourself. You say
you want a pattern of that jacket I have just
finished. Unfortunately, mine is too large for
you, but I see that W. Jennings Demorest,
publisher of Demorcst’s Monthly Magazine, is
offering to send a spccim cn copy of the Maga
zine for ten cents. Send for one, and you will
get your pattern for nothing, for each Maga
zine contains a Pattern Order, entitling the
holder to the selection of any pattern in stock
and of any size manufactured. Don’t think by
this that Demorcst’s is a Fashion Magazine, for
it is not. Its fashion department is perfect, as
are all its other departments, but James is as
anxious for its arrival each month as I am my
self. It is simply a perfect Family Magazine
worth ton times the subscription price, which is
only two dollars per year. If you are thinking
of subscribing for a magazine for the coming
year, be sure and send ten ccnt3 for a specimen
of Demorcst’s Monthly Magazine before de
ciding. .

Dear Sir: In April, 1685, while thinking of taking
orders in September, I suddenly received notice thai
my ordination examination would be held in a fort
night. I had only ten (10) days in which to p epare
for tho Exam. I should recommend a year’s prepar
ation in tho case of anyone so utterly unprepared a*
I was; but your Systevi had so strengthened mu nat
ural tnemorg that I was able to remember aud give
the gist of any book after reading it once. I there
fore read tightfoot, Proctor, Harold Browne,
Mosiieim, &c , &c., once, and was successful in every
one of the nine papers. Tho present Bisliopof Eden-*
burg knows the facts. Faithfully yours,
