USEFUL KNOWLEDGE. Iluuiovnl of Uvy.l'Jitty. - j According to au English journal, the difficulty of removing hard putty from a window sash oan be obviateoL with great readiness by simply applying a piece of heated.metal, such a^a solder ing-iron or dther f similar , iraalement. When heated.(but. not red-hbtvthe iron is to be passed slowly over the pu-ty, thereby rendering the latter so'soft .that, it will part from the wood without >ny trouble._ > V* .-T- J* Ileds of Hulphur.in Iceland? The discovery of immense beds of sulphur in Iceland bids fair to make'a material change in the trade of that 'substance, the Italian,, mines, according to reoent accounts, having become to a oonsiderable^degreo exhausted. An Eng lishman, Mr. Looker, lias purohased six square miles in ths'isgi^; adjoin ing Lake Myvatn, in which.' tains of almost solid sulpha, low color of which is visible" _ distance. ? Hats. V To banish rats plant asphodel near the barn or stable where they are, or put some in their holes. Bats have such an aversion to this"plant that they will quit the premises'; whero.it io. If they are in drains or' in oellarB* scatter sulphate of iron (copperas)' in their runs. The oopperas should not be dis solved. It is our best and cheapest disinfectant. The sulphuric acid burns their feot, and they, leave .-in. a short time without .dying. This ^illj be ap preciated by every housekeeper .that has to endure the stench of a dead rat. Range of Torpedoes. From recentfexperiments 'conducted by an English torpedo committee against'the iron hull Ob er on, with the view of ascertaining the maximum dis tance within which the engines of an onemy's vessel might be 'rendered use less, if not the ship herself destroyed, by the explosion of a submarine tor pedo, it appears that the hnll of an iron-clad is practically safe from dan ger at a range or 100 feet from a 500 pound charge of gun cotton, exploded in forty-eight feet of water, bnt that her engines are liablo to derangement at that distance. Cure tor Dlptherla. The ravages of diptheria in Aus tralia have been so extensive within the last, few years that the government of fered a large reward for any certain mothod of Cure; and among other re sponses to this was one by Mr. Great bond, who at first kept his method a secret, but afterward communicated it freely to tho public. It is simply the use of sulphuric acid, of which four drops aro diluted in three-fourths of a tumbler of water to bo administered to a grown person and a 'smaller dose to children, at intervals* not specified. The result is said to be a coagulation of the diptheritio membrane, and its ready removal by coughing. It is as sorted that where the" case thus treated has not advanced to a nearly fatal ter mination the patient recovered in al most everv instance. Weights or Boys and Girls. Upon --the average, ;boys at birth weigh a little more and girls a little less than seven pounds. For the first twelve years the two sexes oontinne nearly equal in weight, but beyond that age the boys acquire a decided prepon derance. ' Young men of twenty average one hnndred and thirty-five pounds, while the young women of twenty aver age one hundred and ten pounds each. Men reaoh their heaviest weight at about forty years of age, whon their av erage weight will be about one hun dred nnd forty pounds, but women slowly inorease in weight until fifty years of ago, when their average weight will bo one hundred and thirty. Taking the men and women 'together, thitr weight at full growth will then Average from one hundred and eight to one hundred nnd fifty; and women from eighty to one hundred and thirty. The average woight of humanity all over the . world, taking the ages and conditions, work ingmen and women, and gentleman and ladies without occupation, black and white, boys, girls and babies, is very nearly one hundred pounds, avoirdu pois weight. Mystery of the l>akea. Lake Erie is only 60 or 70 feet deep ; but Lake Ontario, which is 502 feet deep, is 230 feet below the tide level of tho ocean, or as low as mostparts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence; and the bot toms of Lakes Huron. Michigan and Superior, although the surface is not much higher, aro all, from their vast depths, on a level with the bottom of Ontario. Now, as the discharge through the Biver Detroit, after allowing for the probable portion carried off by evaporation, does not appear by any monns equal to the quantity of water which tho three upper lakes receive, it has been conjectured that a subterra nean river may rnn from Lake Superior, by the Huron, to Lake Ontario. This conjecture 4s not improbable, and ac count.'! for the singular fact that salmon and herring are canght in all the lakes oommunioationg with the St. Lawrence, but no others. As the falls of Niagara must have always existed, it wonld puz zle tho naturalist to say how these fish got into tho upper lakes without some subterranean river ; moreover, any peri odical obstruction of the river would furnish a not improbable solution of the mysterious flux and reflux of the lakes. ArtlAolnl H?de? Meat*. A trite* in LTllnstration, referring lo tho Bois de Vinoennos, says : " They aro pi no in g th'iB year, as they did last year, a great number of artificial nests in the dumps and thiokets of this wood. Were yon aware that there existed in Paris workmen skillful enough to fabri cate nests so admirably constructed as to tako in (in more than ono sonso) the very birds themaolvos? They make thepi for the thievish and quarrelsome sparrow, for the titmouse with the azure' tail, for tho warblor, for the kingflshor (there are large artificial lakes in the Bois do Vinoennos), and for the ohaf finoh. The ouokoo, the blackbird, and tho magpie himself aro not forgotten. Snoh beautiful nests 1 Large and small apartments for feathered families to bo lot, with immediate possession, without taking a lease, or with a lease of three, six, or nine years, at pleasure." Those, by tho way, aro tho usual tormir of leases in France. The writer goes on to state that tbroa thousand of these nests have been tout up. The plant believe, "was first suggested by a pro fesebr of the Jovdtnabss^Plantes, with a viey? - of^enoouraging\the"(ninHiplioay tion of birds that nyiy holm#.deatroy worms and insects injurious to vegeta .-? " ?'-~ Infanticide or Oplttmr, One of the boat informed physicians in England, Dri'Mitchell, employed in the public health service, some time ago published a mass of testimony ob tained by him from numerous medical witnesses, showing the almost universal rosort to opium in order to benumb and .stupefy children, even those of the ten dorest age; a very common preparation of this sort being a so-called cordial made of treaole and opium. So general, it appears, ib tho use of this nuxture, that customers go to the apctheocrieB, and, without any hesitation, ask ?or a dbao of * it,14 to givo to the baby next day, as they are going out to r/alk." Chemists frankly admit that they make and sell these opium decoctions by the barrel and hogsheads full.'. This baleful usage prevails not only in the colliery d i?t riot b, but also in the manu facturing and non-manufaoturing dis tricts; and it is stated by ono physiolan that/ in the .Nottingham, Derby and .Leicester districts tho habit of adminis tering opium to infants usually begins when the ohild is three or four weeks old. And still another witness asserts that tho opium cordial is given on the very day of birth, being in readiness for that event. The inevitable renn It of this terrible custom is, of oourse, that great numbers of infants perish, either eaddenly from an overdose, or, as more commonly happens, by slow, painful, insidious disease. Compared, there fore, with this form of infanticide, the kind practiced by the Chinese may be said to be meroiful. Complimentary. In o recent address ex-Senator Doo-. little remarked: " Whatever may be said in criticism of'Mr. Johnson's pub lic course, all parties agree that the white house was never more gracefully kept and presided over, than by his daughter, Mrs. Patterson?a perfect la dy, a model of a republican mistress of the white honso. Let me toll a foot which hsB never been published, but which I had from the lady's own lips. Just as she was about to leave, at the ond of Mr. Johnson's administration, the steward of the house took an inven tory, and found that not ono article of furniture was missing or broken, not a sheet, towel or napkin was lost, and the house was in perfect order from top to bottom. Sho told me another fact, which I know the wives and danghters of the farmers of Wisconsin will be glad to hear. When they went into the whito houso she purchased two excel lent cows. From the milk of these oows she made all the butter, used all the or euro, and made all the ioe-oream used in thepresident's family during his term. When sho went home, she shipped these cows to Tennessee Is it any wonder, ladies, that Mrs. Patterson received the first premium on batter at their fair, lost fall?" Tho Wondrous " Green Vault." '. A correspondent of the Chicago Jour nal, speaking of the art collections of Dresden, says : " For wealth of con tents', .tho 'Green Vault' excels any and all the rest of tho collections. The ' Green Vault' consists of several vault ed apartments on the ground floor of tho museum, each of which is devoted to some one kind of valuable object. In one are Florentine and other rro*a ics ; in another gold and silver plate which adorned the banquets ot the Saxon kings ; in another vessels formed of half preoious stones, among whioh arc two goblets, valued at CO, 000 each. In the last are found articles the most valuable of all: one, called the court of the great inogul, consists of 138 figures of pure gold and enamelled, and cost $58,000 ; and finally comes a glass ooee filled with most preoious suits of costly jewels, supphires, emeralds, ru bies, pearls, and, in still greater profu sion, diamonds. One hardly knows whioh to bo astonished at most, the wonderful riohness of the collection or the wonderful folly of the princes who, from taxes no doubt levied upon their subjeots, would collect such an amonnt of wealth to He for years as dead capital." A Steam Older-Mill. The Detroit Tribune in recording the observations of the Michigan orchard committee says: At Battle Greek the committee haa the pleasure of examin ing a new cider-mill and press. The grinding of the apple?, pressin?, and Sumping are all done by steam power, 'he apples are ground very rapidly, and the "oheeses" are put up in one quarter of the time required in the old mode, stout oambrio being used instead of straw in making up the "oheeses," so that the juice comes out pretty free from pulp. Two men will lay up a good-sized "cheese," in fifteen minutes. The press is then applied, and is self working, and by the time another "oheese" is ready to be pressed the first "cheese" is ready to be removed. Tho cider flows into a oistern benoath the floor, from whioh it is forced into a large tank above ; but before it goes in to the tank it passes through a char coal filter, whioh rende.ru it pure and dear. By extending iron pipes from this tank to a side traok whioh has been laid noar tho mill, barrels are filled aboaid oars. A barrel of oidrr is given for ton bashels of apples; the price for making wo did not-loarn. >- 3 Hedgo Growing. An Illinois farmers' olub, located whero a good deal of hedgo grows and a great deal "of experimental farming j has boon done, is reported as thus orys talizing the experience of tho hedge growers of. tho j club in a resolution: "That in our opinion,'to bo successful in making a good and lasting hedge fence, we should set tho plants eight inohes apart, oultivate well1 for three years, or until the oanes are at least oho inoh in diameter, then plash, leav ing the oanos standing abovo on an an gle of forty degrees." Laying close to tho ground and twisting or interweav ing tho plauts, were both oondomnod as unsuccessful. Observation has taught that the method indicated above is tho cheapest and surest way to secure an effloiont hedge of osago orange in tho shortest time. WnisKY and thb Weed.? Intelligent I .physiologists and* pat&Ologlsts admit | that all so-called medicines containing alcohol?whether they emanate from the regular pharmacopoeia and are called tinctures, or from the empirical rum mills, and are labelled '.' tonics "?arc essentially aangero?B and destructive. The only way in whioh drunkenness can be arrested is by restoring the integrity of the nerves (especially the nerves of tastes and the great sympathetic nerve), and purifying the animal?? fluids; ana these objects are more certainly and swiftly accomplished by tho use of Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bitters than by any other means. Henoer probably, the. opinions now so generally expressed, that this pure preparation ib a Boveroign remedy for .the evils referred to. Should it be clearly ascertained that Vin?gar Bitters is not only a Bpeoiflo for indiges tion, liver disease, nervouBn?nu, ce-rufu Ioub uloers and eruptions, and a host of other disorders, but also for inebriety, thousands will rise up and call the dis coverer blessed. France has at last taken tho initia tive in a i economy that is likely to lead to important results to agriculture. The municipal council of Paris has adopted a plan for cleansing the Seine, by which the sewage deposited in the river will bo diverted to the plains of Genevilliers. Should the plan prove as profitable as is expected, it will not be long before the sewers of all large cities will bo mode to yield a handsome revenue.
