The Araucanos. The dwelling of the Araucano Is round in shape, wlth a con loal roof the centre of which has an opening for the escape of smoke. The size is in pro portion to the family occupants. It is made of upright posts planted in the ground, and horizontal poles are fast ened all around, leaving a narrow place 'for the hide doorway. Over the poles are tied, one hanging doWn over the other, bunches of dried grass or straw, to keep out the rain and wind. Some of the caelques are said to possess as many as nine wives, who sleep upon dried hides spread upon the floor, the rest of the family occupying tle space, the feet toward the middle of the room, where a fire Is kept up during wet and cold weather. Men and women bathe every morning at daybreak in the rivers or creeks, and at the trading posts it is said that the women are very cleanly in their cooking, using wooden spoons In place of their hands. The warriors make raids Into tle Argentine Republic, and drive away hundreds of horses and cattle. When successful, they sell the products of their raids to the Chillans, and,when an opportunity affords do not hesitate to steal tIe aniiiial back again, to be disposed of a second time. These raids Into the nelghbor ing republic are not always profitable. Sometiles the soldiers overtike them, showing no mercy, and slaughtering them indiscriminately, whih they can easily do by the superiority of firearms over men on horseback armed with lances. When not engaged in war or hunting expeditions, they delight in stretching out at full lenght onl the ground, in the hot rays of the sun. The women do tle oti.door work, the planting and ga hering of crops, and attend to indoor work as well. Their cows supply the prinelpal wants Of the family ani are taken great eare of. The husbands are kind to their wives, to all appearances, and the traders say that very seldom does quarrel take place among the women.

Renarkable Clooks, A marvelous speolmen of clock-work is to be seen at the palace of Frieden stein, in Goth4. It is an astrononomical C clock and orrery, and was the labor of t an ingenious monk for forty years; r It has recorded with accuracy for up wards of 100 years the motions of the heavenly bodies, the days, months and c years in their eternal round; one hand A moving over an inch of the dial in the I brief space of a second; another tolling A through the same long and weary t Journey in 100 years; and a feeling of a awe involuntarily creeps over the N mind as one contemplates the little in dex that has pointed out the rise and U fall of empires, progressing in its e silent, onward course, like the unerring M course of time. t A clock of curious designs, made in I Germany about the commencement of the seventeenth century, was exhib- v ited at, the meeting of the Archologleal i Institute in 1855. It was in the form 8 Of a griflin bearing an escutcheon on which wits a dial. Tle animal rolled its eyes constantly whilst the clock was e inl motion, opened its mouth when the i quarters struck, and flapped its wings at the striking hour. Soine years ago the Emperor of China received from the East India I Company a clock In the form of a a chariot, in which was seated a lady; upon her finger was a bird set with diamonds and rubles, with its wings a expanded, as if to take flight, afid which fluttered for sometime when a t certain diamond button was touched. 6 The body of the bird contained the machinery by which it was moved. Over the lady's head were two um brellas, under the larger of whic' - . bell was placed at some distance frw it the clock, and apparently having no conn tiection with it, but from which coininunication was secretly conveyed t to a hammer that regularly struck the a hour. At her feet was a gold (log, be- " fore which were two birds on spiral springs, having their wings and feath- C ers set with stones of various colors. They appeared to be flying with the a chariot, which, by hidden machinery, I was made to run in any direction, a boy stationed it the back seeming to puish it forward. Above the umbrellu were flowers and pirecious stones ter- c minalting in a flying dragon set in the C same ninlijer; tie whole was of gold ciriously wrought and embellished with.ru1bles and pearls. There is a curious old clock at Lu- I beck, constructed about A. D. 1589. This ancient pieco of mechanical skill is placedt near the alter, and has a lige and ben% ildering CoMI)licated dial. On < a iniiiitature semik-elrcular gallery above I the dial is the figure of Christ seated oi a thronice. With the last stroke of twelve melodious chimes play a verse of some Iyinn, and at the same time a little door oi the right of the gallery opens and a figure inl apostolic garb I appears, advanlcing slowly until it reaches the throne, When it turns and bows before the Savior, and then goes oni, again dhiappeitring through a door 1 on the left. Eleven apostles pass thriough in this mannler., butt the twvelfthi, who is said to be Judas, only shows his face, whopj thme door is shut on hitm. On each are bas-relief's illus trative of passages in thec life of Christ. lIn that of the lust supper, a mouse is seen p)eping f'rom beneath the armorial bearings of' the once puissiant Lubeck, formnerly the hwuad of the famous Hlan seatie League formed there in 116; .

PLASTER AND ITS UsEs-There are owe very strange things about gypsum f which we farmers have nQt been able o learn much. In some places no good esults can be seen from its use. On rained musky swamp the effect Is not iscernible by the -eye; and In some ears, though rarely farmers who are ontant users of it say they see 110 ;ood from it en any land. Farmers :enerally believe Its great use to miti ate the bad effects of a drought. Af. Dr barley and oats have come up, and here Is little or no rain, they sow their ypsun, and sometimes the effect 15 epy marked. But if the season prom es to be a wet one they d1o not often ow It on these crops. Late experl. ients appear to Indicate that the great at effect of gypsum it .to Increase the rowth of stalks and leaves, rather han of grain. The vigorous growth f stalks and leaves is necessary to the roduction of the grain, and thus, Itis upposed, the injurious effect or too dry ieather on a young and feeble plant IS 2itigated by applying something to timulate its growth tit tills critical per Ad. Let every farmer make trials to Darn whether gypsum can be proflta >y used by him, and under what cir uimstances. One bushel properly used vill tell a careful inquirer much that vill be profitable to know. Leave ome strips on wleh no fertiizer is ppied, that comparisons imiay be iade, Unless this Is udone It will not e possible to form any just conclusion s to effects; and farmers who do not ollow up such tests are very apt to ave no0 decided opinions in regard to lie value of gypsum to themselves, nd entertain very erroneous opinions iot only In regard to its value, but as D the best times and methods of appll atlon.

How TO PR)CPARN BRIY FAT iron SYAORTENINo.-Dripping or beef fat for use should be perfeotly free from un pleasant taste or smell and to insure this It should be well clarlhed., In general, the pouring of boiling water Oil it while hot is suffiolent, then al. lowib'g it to cool, when all impurities a will settle at the bottom and may be seraped olf with a knife; but a surer way is to strain it through a hair sieve Into a saucepan which holds about a quart of boiling water; add to this a piece of soda the size of a harloot bean; stand the saucepan near the fire, Let its a contents simmer for ten minutes, then n take-away to cool; when perfectly dool 9 the dripping will stand on the top of e the water a cake of pure, wholesome b .fat. I should mention, however, one S8 disadvantage which arises from pour- h Ing the dripping hot from the pan Into h the boiling water; one loses the deli- t cious Jelly-pure essence of beef which v if the fat be poured into a basin with. 11 out water, settles, at the bottom. This b Jelly is invaluable for gravies or made dishes, being, int my opinion, equal- to Liebig; therefore it is far too good for consignment to the pig tub. But to gain both this and clear fat it Is neces- I sery to take a little extra trouble, which repays itself, though; this is to allow the fat to cool in its impure state E first, so that the jelly may exude from it, then to melt it in boiling water, and proceed as above. lF meat be cut Into fine pieces and d mixed with broad dough before it is E raised all trace of the meat will dis- I appear during the process of fermenta- 11 tion; the nutritive properties of the t meat are incorporated with the bread, V and may thus be preserved. for years, : So at least we learn from the Englfah Mechanic, which says these facts have 1 been discovered by Mons.

The propor- 1 tion of moat to flour should not exceed ; one half, and to prevent the bread from t being sour, the meat should be cooked a for an hour in a little water.
