Tab lo Decoration.
Luncheon Floral D?corations.-Yel
low daffodils were much used at the
luncheon parties given along thc Thames
during thc late boat race. At one house
the luncheon table hud a narrow white
satin cloth laid down the centre, work
ed with yellow silk in tho Russian cross
stitch, with a border of Greek lace, re
lieved by a lining of yellow satin. Low
white china receptacles filled with
daffi dils were scattered about, while in
the centre stood a gilded basket filled
with the same, its tall handle wreathed
with broad white and yellow ribbon,
finished off on one side in a large bow.
Every serviette was passed through a
byoad band or ring of cardboard, forth

palermo china focoptfl,oVcs, laid upon a
broad loco strip over hine silk, reaching
almost tho length of the table. In every
plate was a buttonhole, composed of a
gardenia ond leaves, tied with a light
blue ribbon. A lovely combination of
color was arrived at by masses of deep
red roses, softened by maidenhair, put
into such low receptacles ns to nppcor
laid on the table, with a centro cloth of
silver brocade, edged with palo pink
anemones from tho south of France, laid
on singly with tinted ivy loaves. About
tho silver brocado cloth were placed
small old oilyor articles of quaint shape
and variod size, somo holding bonbons.
Giant sprays of whito lilac perfumed
tho air of ono reooption-room, while
towering branohoB of evergreens ?llc,d

Decline of Steamhoatinu, -Very
large steamboats are no longer built on
ho Mississippi, so that but few of the
llass which were once so common are
low seen on the river. Tho burning of
)io White, lt ic har (Ison and Kate
ulanis wiped out ttio three last of tho
rent floating palaces of tho Mississippi.
{'heir places havo never been filled, and
1?re is no incentive to build any moro
.f the same sort, Thoy were immense
(oats for passenger traille, and as Uno
t the ocean steamers. But the rail
l'iads made them unprofitable, During
tye last two years of their service they
hst money, because they could not get
tts passenger trade. Tho railroads liad
oitoied their territory and doprlved
tlpro of tho principal source of income.
Tb? boats aro now forced into narrow
ctpnnels, and must go whore tho rail
roads cannot reach. Hence they navi
gate in small streams, which wcro for
merly despised, and where largo boats
coAld not go. This state of affairs re
quires shallow keels and light draught,
sm^ii, swift vessels are now used where
the ! competition is closo. Tho palace of
the ora of tho '70s has passed out of

Washing out the ?Stomach.-Tho prin
cipio underlying thc treatment ls to
keep the stomach olean, and so fur ns is
possible at rest, for a time sufficientto
allow of ita complete recovery. Tho
operation should bo performed in the
morning before breakfast. A soft red
rubber tubo ls passed gently down into
tho stomach quito to tho pylorus; with
this is connected about a yard of com
mon ilexlblo tubing nud a glass funnel,
which is bold on tho lovel with tho
patient's breast, and tepid water is
poured slowly into tho funnel until a
sensation of fulness is experienced; tho
funnel is then depressed to tho level of
tho waist, and tho fluid allowed to
syphon out. Tho process is repeated
until tho water returns quite olear.
The washing should be repeated every
day for a week or ten days, and during
that time the dlot should bo restricted
to milk or u httlo meat; then the wash
ing may be dono every second or third
day, and Mnnlly abandoned at tho end of
three weeks. The advantages claimed
for tlds method nro that it ls efficacious,
Blmplo and safo, and it certainly ia
worth a trial In intractable casep of
chronic dyspepsia, a diseaso which
muk?s its victims a burdon to them
selves and tholr friends, and hitherto
has brought but little credit to phys
icians.
A jPrench physician, Dr. Layet, has
just published tho results of bis inqui
ries into tho nature of a singular mal
ady known as "vanillism," which :
science bas, it scorns, lately added to
tho sufficiently long catalog vie of human
disorders. Bordeaux is tho chief cm- i
porluni of vanilla, some 70,000 pounds i
of that spico being annually imported.
Tho men employed in cleaning and <
sorting it have long been known to
su flor from a very peculiar affection of
which Dr. Haye t's investigations have
now revealed tho cause. Its symptoms
are redness and itching of tho skin,
often attended with desquamation of
tho cuticle, and usually accompanied
with general malaise, lassitude and
giddiness. All the trouble is caused by
a minuto acarus which lives in tho
vanilla, and finds its way to tho person
handling it. Dr. Eayot's labors have
not as yet been crowned with tho
discovery or any cure for tho new
diseaso.
A correspondent writes to tho Scien
tific American in regard to taking care
of the hair: "Experience bus taught
me that it is best to keep all oils or '?
grease from tho hair. Don't let barbers
oil lt. I lind wetting with water best.
At least once a week rub the yelk of an i
egg, or half of it, well into the hair
and scalp, and rinse off thoroughly i
with tepid water. lt will promote
growth and color, probably largely due ?
to sulphur in thc egg. This course luis
started a now growth of hair with me, ,
not very thick, but bettor than none
at all."
It is reported that a Dr. Eisenmunn,
oC Berlin, has invented a piano which
by tho aid of electro-magnetism can
sustain, increase and diminish sound.
This bas been attempted by other ex
perts, notably Boehm, the inventor of
the metal ilute. Another novelty will
be that by moving tho electro-magnets
the timbre of the tone is changed; for
example, from that of a violincello to a
piccolo. If true, wo shall probably
hear more about this novelty anon.

A new invention to prevent collisions ]
at sea, consisting of ti small plate fixed i
at the sido of the vessel, has been very
successfully tried on tho Thames. | ?
Electricity is thu active agent. The

it comes.
In it paper rea 1 before tho Royal So
ciety (England), Hennessy, E. it. S.,
says tho maximum discharge of water
through a pipo of circular section,
when the head is due only to Ibo incli
nation of tho pipe, is not when the pipe
is full of water, but when tilled to
about niuateon-twentieths of its

An Englishman baa produced a piece

Two German experimenters have

BLOOD IN MILK.-Tho presence of
blooil or red blood corpuscles in tho
milk is indicativo of disorder of tho
giamdar substnuco of tito udder, which
maj bo vi YfttJo?? kind:;. The globules
or small divisions of tho milk glands
consist of vesicles which contain tho
globules of fat thai aro found in tho
milk and collular substaneo, among
which tho capillary or exceedingly Ano
blood vessols ramify very closely. As
theso vosicles break down and decom
pose to form tho milk, carrying with
them tho fat globules, and are quickly
replaced by now structure, it is readily
perceived that it is very easy for tho
capillary vessels, which contribute
through tho blood both tho albuminous
matter and tho fat globules to form
theso vesicles, to discharge blood under
unfavorable circumstances by which
any injury may bo done or any excite
ment of tho circulation or inflam
matory or congestive condition may bo
produced.
Many causes may thus contribute to
this defect in tho milk, audit isdifflcult
to state, or evon guess, what tho causes
may bo. Tho remedy is to sootho and
allay tho excited circulation by cooling,
laxative medicine, and emollient and
cooling application to tho udder. A
pound of Epsom salts ls generally use
ful, and warm fomentation of tho udder,
witli a following application of somo
gentle stimulant, as camphorated soap
liniment.
? LO wi NO SOD.-It is a question
rarely decided among farmers at what
time it is best to plow sod for a corn
crop. This question is best settled by
considering what Is expected of this
operation. Tho great point ls that tho
corn crop sind) proeuro a largo portion
of ita nutriment from it; another isthat
tho corn may bo planted on fresh clean
ground so that it may get ahead of tho
weeds by rapid and vigorous germina
tion. How, then, can theso important
point? be best secured? Clearly by per
mitting the herbage to grow as long as
possible, and by deferring tho plowing
until tho last moment. Then a largo
quantity of the most acceptable food
for the young corn is plowed under; the
Boil is mellow, moist and fresh; planting
is done under tho host conditions. Tho
seeds of weeds will sprout quickly and
n light harrowing beforo tho corn is up
will destroy tho germs and clean the
?round of myriads pf thoiri, lightening
tho after-labor ot cultivating tho orup.
A top-dressing of manure on tho sod
before thc plowing will bo a great as
sistance.
TALL AND DWARF PISAS.-There
ire thoso with round and thoso with
wrinkled seeds. Tho round seeded aro
the earliest and hardiest. A popular
variety is Daniel O'Rourke, known also
is Early Kentish, and by as many other
names as there uro seedsmen, each one
of whom has bis Earliest of All,most of
which are essentially the same. Of tho
wrinkled kinds Champion of England
is tho best known, tho standard with
which all others will bc compared. The
Telephone is very largo and line. Lax
loirs Alpha is thu earliest of wrinkled
peas, and very satisfactory for minor
crops. All ol' theso need sticks or some
kind of trellis for support, as they grow
three feet and moro in height. In view
of tho trouble of procuring brush and
slaking tho taller kinds, dwarf kinds
are very pppular. Tho vines aro from
10 to 18 inches high and require no
staking. Tho best of these is tho
American Wonder, and there arc num
bers of others. Some of theso yield
their whole crop nt ono picking, and tho
ground may then bo cleared o?! for u
small garden.
A XiOO CLOD-CUUSIIIOU.-A log,
preferably of oak or othor compact, hard
wood, eight feet long and from eight lo
Len inches in diameter, is prepared by
removing tho bark, and tapering slight
ly toward tho ends. About ono loot
Irom each end a notch is cut deep
mough lo admit a chain which is se
curely wrapped around Uic log. The
:louble-trcc (s attached to thi? chain
tbout three feet from one end of the log
iud live feet from the oilier. The log
is thus drawn diagonally. If the
weight of the log is not sufficient au ad
lit Ional ono can be laid in front of lt,
resting on tho chain which is-made a

Euc-Professor Forbes, the Illinois
state entomologist, is credited with
having said: "1 h vac no personal ex
perience with the use of salt as a check
upon phiuch bug increase, but from
what 1 know of the habits ol' that in
sect and the effect ot other fertilizers,
I should not expect any important ad
vantage, except in soil where salt will
specially stimulate tho growth of the
grain. Some experiments with salt,
made within my knowledge by Intelli
gent fanners of KOiilhcru Illinois, were
without noticeable effect,
OM: of the best of the now inven
tions is a horseshoe without nails, ll
is made to flt on tho edges of tho hoof,

or a teacup. It can be put on or taken
off by any one of ordinary intelligence
iii ono or two minutes. Hy its uso all
danger of injuring a horse by pricking
or wounding tho foot with nails is
averted. As about five horses in a
hundred aro lamed or mined by careless
driving of nails, and at least ten por
cent, are ruined by caroless shoeing by
incompetent iron pounders, who style
themselves horse shoers, this invention,
uside fi om cheapening the process, will
mid to tho value of thc horse.
HAUDY shrubs and Howers should bo
selected with the view of having a sup
ply of flowers from spring until fall.
As some flowers bloom early and others
late, selections of varieties best suited
to tho soil and for each month will
assist in ornamenting tho yard until
frost appears. (
AFTER each rain tho ground should
bo cultivated lightly in order to provont
?vaporation of moisture Tho loose dirt
icrves as a covering and shields thc
jarth from tho direct effect of drying
winds and heat of tho sun.
PLANT a small patch of sweet corn,

Bou?a*BBUOUjartt,
Too MUCH.-Rustics may bo ex
cused for not being well informed about
thc value, of pictures, but their notions
are sometimes very amusing, neverthe
less. It is related of Thomas Duncan,
a highly successful Scotch artist, tbat
he was oiico ut work-out ol' doors in
the west of England-upon a beautiful
landscape in water-color, when an old
fellow came up und looked over .his
shoulder.
"Humph!" said the stranger. "Now
how much do you-want for that little
one l.Vlug on tho ground?"
"AVell," replied Duncan, wishing to
seo what thc mun would say, "times
uro bani, and I couldn't take less than
live shillings for thal."
"And thc bigger one by its side?"
pursued tile customer.
"That," responded Duncan, "would
be wodli len shillings."
"And the larger one still, that you
aro painting now?"
"This," replied thc painter, "is
worth ut least a guinea."
"Guinea!" ejaculated tho old man, as
ho stood transfixed; "guinea! A guinea
for thc Uko of that 1" and be walked
away, leaving Duncan to enjoy his joke
ns he went on finishing the picture
which bc expect (Kl to sell without diffi
culty for three hundred pounds.
MiSTiiKSS-"Mercy on me, wbat a
kitchen! livery pot, pan and dish is
dirty, thc table looks like a junk shop,
and-why, it will take you a week to
get things cleaned upi What havo you
neon doing?"
"Sure, rhum, the young leddies has
jtist been down hore, showing me how
they roast a potato at the cooking
schcol."
