Sapont1jcation of Mineral Oils.--Many attempts have been made to saponify the oils, but small success has hitherto attended the endeavor. A new process has lately boeen patented iII 1"nglaid, whicb has, It 18 said, proved.satlsfacto ry. The patent applios not only to those oils which are ound native, such as petroleum, but also to those that are obtained from coal, schist, asphalt an'd other minerals. li order to render such oils capable of saponlficli they are itrst aoldifled by the addUion of con crete fatty matter, either anlinal or veg etable, and the mixture is then saponi lied In the usual way by the addition of alkaline of lye. The soaps thus pro duced may be varied in hardness and solidity according to the naiture of the fatty matters and lyes employed, but in all cases they are powerfully detergent and disinfectant, and baths formed by them do not putrefy even after use. Such being tihe general nature of tihe new and improved process, the manner in which it oan be prpctically carried into eifect may be best explailncd by a particular example: Assuming the oil to be irreated to be the rectified oil of Petroleum and the concrete fatty mat ter stearic aeid, tihe latter Is melted in a water bath and poured into tihe pe troleum, which is at ordinary tempera ture, the stearic acid being added to the petroleum in tihe praportion of about fifteen parts of the ormer to 100 parts of the latterby welht. After thorough mixturdj by tirrI'in fr.a shorf/6time thle compound can be saponified in tihe usu il way. ,leig.however, nf advantage to combine it, before saponifleation, with animal or vegetable fatty matter, a good proportion fQr such combination being Iwo of th? fkodi petrolaumiito three of the fatty ..1 . 14t her ;sodij o1 putash nmay be employed to saponilfy tie compound, producing a beizine soap which may be made hard or soft accord lug to the alkali and the proportions adopted in the sapoulication. Niagara Falls.-The amount of water passing over Niagara Falls has been es timnated at 100 000 000 tons per hour, and its perpendicular descent may be taken at 150"feet, withoiut considering the ra Ids, which repreqent a further fall of 0 feet. The fo'ce sreprqsented by the prin'lpal fall alone amounts to 16 800 000 horse power, an amonut which if it had to be produced by steam would necessitate an expenditure of not less than 266 000 000 tons of coal per an num, taking the consumption of coal at four potnds per horse per hour. II other words, all the coal raised th rough out the world would barely suiflice to produce the amount of power that an mnually rins to waste it this wonderful fall. One of time new industries of Germany reported by Dr. Stutxer to b- "now in a llourishing condition, '' s the nmannu facture of artificial clover-seed.

EtHT POINTS IN BnAD MAKING. Ve sum up brietly eightessential points inbread-naking. 1. Good wheat flour. Some varieties of wheat, such as are deflelent in gluten, will not make good flour. 2. A good miller to grind the iheat. The bread-maker should be sure to find (1th good miller. 3. The wheat shiould not be ground when very dry. Choose a "wet s)ell" for the griiding. 4. Theilo ur should be sifted before using, to separate the particles. 5. Good yeast. This Is made froiti now hops, Stale hops will not, with cer taInty, 1111O lively yeast. 6. Tho rough kneading. After it has had enough, knead it awhile longer. 7 Do not lot the dough rIse too tucli. Nine out of every ten broad-makers in this cotutitry let their bread "rise'' 'n til its sweetness lias bcen destroyed. S. The oven canl be too hot 11s wcll a1s too cool. The "lhappy Iledimlill'' must be determind upo( ani) iidti selected. lere are three kinds of bread ; sweet bread, bread, 11 sour bread, ia greait maty muake bread, but few make sweet bread. "Sweetness'' ii bread IS a positive quality that not many brema makers have discovered.

The above is for a rose. China asters are simply cut aroind and fringed to the centre. -III finishinig all flowers a little waX should be, placed around the stem to hold the flower in its place. To KErP BEEF-STEAK.-Have the steaks cut, about. the usual thickness. Mix together some salt, sugar and some finely-powdered saltpetre; put in an earthenjar, lay a steak and sprinkle it with this mixturb; put on another, and sprinkle the same as before, and over all turn a plate with a heavy weight on it. This willt form a brine of its own, and the meat will keep sweet in this way for a long time. You canl take it out to broil in the usual way. This Is a very good recipe for people who live away from cities. Do not let it freeze.

Wuor.c WHErr FR Fowr.s.-We lii d by experiment that it pays to buy wheat for laying hlens, even at two dollars a bushel. Never buy wheat screenings, 1111less tihe wheat inl them 1a of superior quality. Sometimes a very excellent quality can be bought for $1.25 per bushel. Damaged or mil[ dowed whet is not good for chickens. The Poultry World says there is more solid nutriient in whole wicat as at feed for poultiry than in any of the cereals, weight for weight. It is an ex cellent kitnd of grain for this iuse, though solewIlat Imore expensive than other sorts, but too much of this hearty reed is detrimental, partieularly when earelesply led to Cochins, Brabmuas, &c.
