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. The men never
practice medicinie, which duty is left
to the medicine woienl, who use herbs
and roots and wheI these lail in i0ect,

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.

AGRICULTURE.
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

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. Scheurer
Ke8tner, who appears to have satisfied
tihe Paris Academy of Sciences on the
subject. Several loaves of this meat- 'j
bread, baked in1 1878, were lately ex
iibited before that learned body, and I
are described as showing no Indication t
of mould or other deoay. 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. It woufld
not be wise, however, for any one to try
to make Mons. belneurer-Kestner's
meat-bread without further details of
the nethod than are contained in any
article upon it whieh has rallen under
our notice. The process Is particularly
interesting Inn its possible relations to

MUSTARD PLASTER.-By using syrup
or molasses for mustard plasters, they
will keep soft and flexible, and not dry

of more or less flour.
To Bnoxza PLASTER STATUE.-In
bronzing plaster statuies, the powder is
