The stencil is really one of the simplest methods of decoration, valuable bcoause it can be applied to so many different purposes and materials, and at the same time is thoroughly artistic, and not at all mechanical, why it as it appears. One reason may be so unreservedly commend¬ ed to women is that it does not demand previous training in drawing. Unfortu¬ nately for art education in this country, drawing is not made as imperative as in some stencil foreign countries. Now, in the drawing is the most mechanical part of the work after the de¬ sign is once prepared. There is scarcely a fabric on which the stencil may not be used. Wools should be excepted, as they should be in all decorative work, on account of moths. But from coarse sack¬ ing to bolting-cUth, that fairy-like web, there is free range. Blue denim, which will be recognized as the material of which overalls are made, and of which the color is highlyi*. prized in decorative work, takes stencilling admirably. White jed, and yellow are the colors generally lines used, Disks and water in the Japanese manner are signs for simple portieres. and effective de¬ As wall coverings or in uphosterv, all-over designs in Indian spirals and whorls are very good. Such designs ing. are excellent also on coarse sack¬ When large, seroll-like designs are used, it adds much to the richness of the decoration to cover the plain spaces with broken bars, after the manner of darned ground in embroidery. Greens and blues, reds and blues, and different tints of the same color, combine well in this way. A New Stalaetite Cave. A stalactite cave of enormous extent has been discovered at Reclere, close to the French frontier, and is attracting considerable and interest whole among geologists the others. The extent of cave has not yet been ascertained; but an idea can be torrued of its size from the circumstance that a few days ago two ex- ploring parties visited the cave, one en- tering at 8 a. m. and the other at 11 a. m., and each party roamed about, for sev- eral hours, without coming across the other. The cave is fairly dry, contain- ing, so far as now ascertained, only a small pond, and it can be entered with perfect safety. Amount of Gold in ths World. An English writer says that “the quan- tity of gold in the world supposed is not nearly be. so large as it is commonly to it If it could all be collected in one spot, would form a pile only 25 feet high, 45 feet long, and 25 feet wide. The reason for the smallness of the space which the world's stock of gold would fill is to a great extent accounted for by the density of the metal. A cubic foot of it Weighs more than twelve hundred pounds.” of gold In view of the great discoveries during the last liftv years, this appears to be a remarkable statement; one that should attract the attention and investi- gation of the leading scientists.

The writer saw a large number of ants surrounding some that ne had killed, aDd determined to watch their proceedings. Accordingly he followed four or five that started off from the rest toward a hillock a short distance off, in which w»s an ant’s nest. This they entered, and in about five minutes they reappeared, followed by others. All fell into rank, walking regu¬ larly and slowly, two by two, until they arrived at the spot where lay the dead bodies of the soldier ants. In a few minutes two of the ants ad¬ vanced and took up the body otEers. of one of their comrades, then two and so on, till all were ready to march. First walked two ants, bearing a. body, then two others with another dead ant, and so on until the whole line was extended to about forty pairs, and the procession moved slowly onward, followed by an irregular body of about two hundred ants. Occasionaly the two laden ants stopped, and laying down the dead body, it was taken up by the two walking unburdened behind them, and thus, by occasionally relieving each other, they arrived at a sandy spot near the sea. The body of ants now commenced digging with their jaws a number of holes in the ground, in each of which a dead ant was laid. Tnen they all fell to and filled up the graves. This did not quite fifiish the remarka¬ ble circumstance attending this insect funeral. Six or seven of the ants had attempted to run off without performing their share of the digging; these were brought back and killed on the spot. A single grave was quickly dug, and they were all dropped into it. How to Make Beef a La Mode. - Six or eight pounds of the round of beef, half a pound of fat salt pork, three tablespoonfuls of butter, two onions, half a carrot, half a turnip, two tablepsoon- fuls of vinegar, one heaping tablespoon- ful of salt, half a teaspoonful bit of pepper, of stick two cloves, six allspice, a cinnamon, a bouquet of sweet nerbs, or a teaspoonful each of dried thyme and sweet marjoram, four tablespoonfuls of flour ar.d two quarts of boiling water, Cut the pork in thick strips as long as the beef i9 thick, and draw them through needle, it at regular intervals with a larding or the holes can be made with a steel or a boning knife and the slips of pork pushed the in. Chop the vegetables fine; melt butter in a large saucepan and add them to h, letting them cool for five minutes; dredge the meat with the flour and brown thoroughly on both sides, fake it out, add one quart of the water and let it boil a minute, stirring steadily. Then put back the meat, add the other quart with a *i the remaining seasoning; cover close- ly, and simmer gently for four or even ^ ve tours. Then take up. Draw the saucepan forward; skim off all the fat from the gravy, and boil it rapidly reduce^ for ten or fifteen, minutes in order to it. For a pint of gravy allow one table- spoonful of browned flour, though mail} P refer unthickened. The juice of a | eraon IS an improvement. Put whatever is left between two plates, and press with a heavy weight. It is even better cold than hot. Save every particle of gravy, as it can be used either in a final mince or in soup.

Tablets from Ancient Babylon, The collection consists of documents of a commercial and legal as well as fiscal character, varying from about B. C. 2300 down to about two centuries before the Christian era. Many of these inscriptions are of a curious envelope class—that is, one copy of the deed was written and inclosed' in a clay envelope, upon which a second copy is written. One pair of tablets, dating about B. G. 2200, reveal to us the curious fact that there were in Babylon at that time a class of men em¬ ployed as agents to obtain children to be adopted by wealthy citizens who had no family. These men received a regular commission both from the parents and from those who adopted the infant. 1 ' ■ P|NS*0NS,WS Have vou a claim pending but want relief—now I Write us and receive oy return mall appropriate blank * n d full Instruction* tor v ourcm-e, with a copy of the aew a nd liberal Law.
