Some of the Articles in the Women’s Department.

Sin correspondent of the Teurnal mentions « ffiw useful articles on exjrien’s Department at the lows: -blanket, invented by a \ which she has so cudiu»pended an Inch or two by means of a slender wire frame. It is said to be admirably adapted to the comfort of working horses iu hot weather. Mrs. Somebody, of Massachusetts, exhibits an india-rubber life-preserver, soninflating, and capable of being adjusted In less than a minute. A patent dish-washer made of galvanised wire attracts a great deal of attetotion, and seems to be quite an ingenious contrivance. It is the invention of an Ohio lady, and from the way in which the 41 machine” performs I judge it to be a IWmrJßlvihg success. This will be encouraging to all such men as may happen to believe in the coming of an era when the women of Araqylca shall run the political machinery thereof, and the men be left at home to do the baby-tending and dishwashing of the household. Another inventive lady exhibits a dustcatcher into which the tidy housewife or her servant-girl can sweep all the little rubbish and particles of dirt that accumulate on the carpets—including the quids of tobacco which the husband throws there because be is too neat to pitch them into the yard. There is a patent griddle-greaser which works so perfectly, and so completely supplies a long-felt want in every well-regu-lated family that when placed in the market it ought to go off like hot cakes or Fourth of July rockets. Look a little further among the collection of patented inventions and you will see a magic rolling-pin, capable of rolling out pie crust by the acre, with so little expenditure of physical strength on the part ■of the person handling it that you wonder whether pie-making will not soon be reduced to a fine art. 4> From Worcester, Mass., come some nioe -specimens Of darning, and other needlework, by a lady eighty years of age. Also, imlttens and stockings knit Mrs. Abigail Flagg Lovering, who is 100 years and four months old. These specimens of what a • centenarian can do in the wav of knitting are accompanied by a photograph of the old lady herself. Several specimens of fine needle-work and silk embroidery from the Union Benevolent Association, of Philadelphia, fill a large glass case, and make a creditable diaplay. Some work «ts a similar kind comes from Baltimore, including an apron wrought by a lady of seventy years. From England we have a few specimens of needle-work, executed by members of the royal family, including a splendid napkin, the flax for which was spun by Queen Victoria. In the collection of American work we find tatting that is hard to equal, and probably cannot lie excelled. In the department of Brazil I find ithat most of the women’s work is from convents, schools, and orphan colleges. The display, however, is very fine, and some of the articles evince a degree of skill which must challenge the admiration of all visitors. In the lot there is a beautiful picture, of delicate bag relief work in cork, executed by Anna Sexsedillo Faria, of Rio Janeiro. A likeness of a cat, done in worsted on cardboard, is the work of a little girl away down in Dom Pedro’s Empire. She desired to manifest her interest in the Centennial Exposition of America in some Eractical Way, and so she made agd sent er pussy cat. It is just suck a little thing as this that often sets visitors to thinking as well as looking. Brazil also lias*a fine display of crocheted tidies and quilts, embroidered Slippers, embroidered coats and similar articles, which combine beauty with utility in admirable proportions, il

The Manufacture of Paper Money.

Prior to 1869 there -was considerable difficulty found in preventing counterfeit ing; ana the printing of the eariy issues by Government was done under circumstances very discouraging to those who were compelled to devise systems for a work that required the greatest perfection in a thousand details, without precedents to guide them. Yet the greatest credit is due for the success with which tlieirefforts have been crowned. The skilled workmen of the country were then in the employ of private .corporations, and most of the work was necessarily given to the bank-note companies, they possessing. the greatest facilities for the prompt execution of contracts. Gradually, however, the Government became its own printer, and to-day the major part of the work is done in the Treasury by Gotemment employes. One of the sources of weakness in the printing of securities was found to he the facility with which the paper on which the securities were printed could be obtained by counterfeiters; and to afford .the greatest protection against fraud an. act was passed authorizing the making of a special kind of material known as “distinctive paper,” to be used exclusively by the Government. All of the current notes, fractional currency- bonds and stamp? are printed on this kind of paper. On the adoption of this material the mill in which it is manufactured was placed under the surveillance of the Treasury, which mantains a force of watchmen to guard against tampering with its manufacture. An agent of the Treasury is in charge as Superintendent, yho receives the paper from the manufacturer as soon as it is made, and stores or forwards it as directed. Every precaution' is taken to prevent the loss of paper, and none but those employed are allowed access to the grounds. The mills are at Glen Falls, West Chester,. J?a. In the manufacture of this “distinctive paper” short pieces of red silk are mixed with the pulp in an engine, finished material is conducted to a wire without passing through any screens which might retain the silk threads. By an arrangement above the wire cloth a shower of Short pieces of fine blue silk thread is dropped- carefully upon the paper- while it is being formed. The lower side, on which the blue silk is deposited, is the one used for the back of the notes, and from the manner in which the threads Are applied must show them more distinctly than the upper side, although they are embedded deep enough to remain fixed. Each sheet is registered as soon as it is manufactured. As soon as the paper is transferred to the care of the Superintendent a report is made by the manufacturer and another byi the Superintendent, stating the date, size of paper delivered, number of sheets and for what it is to be, used. These reports are forwarded to the Secretary of the Treasury, and are examined and recorded in the currency division, where the accounts are kept ofall paper of this Char-

acter used for Treasury purposes. The accounts of this office relating to paper embrace every variety uted In printing Government securities, and reach every distinct class of Issue# by denomination; bo that any information relating to piper or printed money can be .obtained Inr refference to die records* This system .servesas a check also updfl the manufacturer, the Superintendent, the express companies as forwarders, tlie' bank-note Companies In New York and Washington, Carpenter & Co., Philadelphia, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in the Treasury, so far as paper and printing are concerned; .and in the matter of paper after it is printed—when it becomes money —it forms a check upon the United States Treasury, Register of the Treasury and Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The accounts take each sheet of the paper .as soon as it is manufactured, follows it through the various offices aqd processes of printing to its issue as money, and also after redemption from circulation, to its final destruction by the Secretary of the Treasury. The success with which these accounts have been kept Is evident from the fact that, while the printing and deliveries of e&oney have run into the billions, it has been done without the loss of a cent to the Govern ment by fraudulent issues or otherwise. The printing is principally done in the Treasury, but a portion of the work on each note is done outside. This is to avoid the possibility of fraud by combination, which might be possible if all the work Was performed in one building or by one company or establishment. In the printing bhreau of the Treasury the checks adopted against the possibility of fraud are alto of ilie most elaborate kind, and apparently they are amply sufficient to prevent either mistake or loss. After the securities receive the finishing touch iu the printing bureau they are delivered to the Treasurer, if money; to the Register, if bonds, and to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, if stamps. Sheets spoiled in printing or otherwise imperfect are delivered to the division of currency of the Secretary’s office. This completes the work, and the money,bonds and stamps are then placed in the vaults of the various offices designated for issue when needed, except the spoiled imprints, which are oounted and destroyed by a committee appointed for that purpose. When a remittance of mutilated money is received by the Treasurer the package is delivered to experienced counters in his office, who examine and count the co-n tents, throwing out counterfeits when found. These counters are ladies, whose quick perceptions and nimble fingers are found to be' much better suited to the work than those of men. The counters are field responsible for the detection of counterfeits and for losses while in their hands. They account each day for the amounts they receive. If they pass a counterfeit they are compelled to pay the amount, as the issue of new mqpey is made upon their report. After this count each note is cut in two through the center, put up in duplicate packages of perhaps $4,000, and canceled by the punching of holes in each stack of half notes. These are then delivered, one-half to the Register and the other end or half to the Secretary’s office—the upper or lefthalf of each greenback, and the right halves of fractional currency going to the Register, while the opposite ends are sent to the Secretary. Each note is then examined and counted in these two offices, making three counts in all, and if errors are found the Treasurer’s office rectifies them. After this the duplicate lots are delivered to a committee of four, one representing the Secretary, the second the Register, a third the Treasurer, and the fourth the people generally. When internal revenue stamps are to be destroyed another agent is added for that office. A schedule of the lots prepared to be destroyed is delivered to this committee, who check off each lot as it is thrown into a large boiler which, when filled, is. sealed up, and the chemicals previously thrown in acted upon by a flow of steam and water, produces decomposition find reduces the paper toji pulp. It is, -how-' ever, allowed to remain in this state fortyeight hours, when the seal is broken, the pulp examined, and certificates of destruction are signed by the committee. These certificates are sent to the Treasurer, Register, Comptroller and Secretary, and form the vouchers of these officers in the settlement of their accounts.—Republic Magazine.

Female Doctors in Europe.

A correspondent of the Bund of Berne has lately summed up in successive letters from Zurich the present results of the much-contested " Damenstudium.” It is now exactly ten years since the first female student clamored at the gates, or rather since the Medical Faculty opened the gates to her; for she had been attacking them by a diligent prosecution of the, medical course. She was a young Russian lady. The University of Zurich, on the 14th pf December, 1867, conferred upon her the dignity and rights of a Doctor of Medicine. Doctor or Doctress Brismann has since practiced medicine with great success—first alone, and Jater .as the wife and partner of a medical iian. Twelve young ladies have followed* ber example* all of them standing the test of (the severe examination with credit, -and some with brilliancy. Each of %ese ladies bas received from the Medical Faculty of the University the degree of Doctor of Medicine, Surgery ana Midwifery. Six of these graduate* were Russians, two were English women Mias Morgan, in 1870, < ana Miss Atkinjjj in 1872,) one was a Scotch woman, ona an American, one a Swiss, and tlie remaining two Were Germans. The Americii, a young lady from Boston, passed lith Eeat applause, and her public dfspuhMon fore receiving her degree on the 22$ of June, 1871, created much admirat§n. After a short but very 1 promising practice, she lost her life by shipwreck m tlieAx--1 antic. In 1872, when Zurich had hrafcd the worst of tbe storm of ridicule tod anger, the Utfivereifcyof Gottingen fbfid courage to stand at her side, and thefigt female academical student in the Net||rlands passed a successful examination physics and mathematics. Thetwolatlt, a Russian from Jaroslaw and Fraufin Franziska Tiburtius, from the Islant&f Rugen, in the Baltic, have just maintained their thesis and been admitted to.fc digntty and righto of the doctor’s degi. The thirteen ladies who have remfjid medical degrees have exhibited an jfc. doubted vocation for the profession. • *&> extraordinary pressure of female studwts with wldoh Zurich was threatened at j|o beginning of the movement has now sbsided, ana is not likely to recur.

Out of nothing nothing comes, and this is as true in agriculture as in any other pursuit. Hundreds of farmers are complaining about I>oor success; they are expecting something to grow oat of nothing. Their fathers ana grandfathers have been taking off the cream of the land, and they expect to <Jo the same, when, in fact, the supply is exhausted. Plant-food has been carried off from the farm so long that there is little if any left to mgpure crops. Tender plants spring up and grow on air and moisture; they thrive in early spring, but there being no strength in the soil, the scorching sun bakes the ground and dries them up so that there is a small return for all the labor. The soil is not to blame. Nature is not to blame. But the farmer Is to blame who expects something to conje from nothing. Making the soil rich in plant-food with thorough culture will jnake farming a remunerative employment.—Ohio Farmer. —We believe that the sprinklipg of plants during dry weather not only does no good buj, is injurious. When from using the watering-pot, it seems as if the earth were wet, we shall find that it has penetrated scarcely half an inch. This can have little effect upon the rotate, while evaporation carries it away at once upon receiving the first rays of the sun. The surface earth is made, by artificial sprinkling, hard and close, thus excluding the ‘ air—forming a readier conductor of heat and offering a barrier to the .ready absorption of moisture and rain when showers come—as they sometimes do—to mitigate the killing effects of drouths long continued. If we would preserve the freshness of our flower-beds, and are willing to take the time and pains, they should be watered after sundown until the water is about to run off. Then wait for-this to soak is and water again and again. Finally spread freshly-cut grass over the entire surface an inch thick. This does not mar, as one would suppose, the appearance of the bed after a tew hours, as the color of dried grass is nearly that of dry earth, and consisting of short and fine blades as it will be if cut with the lawnmower, it very soon resembles the earth itself. A covering like this suppresses weeds and the drouth must be severe indeed to seriously affect plants thus treated. We recommend the same for fruit and ornamental trees transplanted this spring. —Rural Neva Yorker.

The Sheep Question.

“ I have about 200 and I wish I had less. ” This was the.answer which a noted farmer of this county gave to the inquiry of how man/ sheep he was shearing this season. The feeling is quite general among sheep-growers that they will be obliged to reduce their flocks or go out of sheep keeping entirely until better prices are assured. There is nothing strange or new in this. The same state of things as far as the price of wool is concerned has existed often within the memory of most men of fifty years; and farmers have as often been found selling off tlieir flocks in part, and very much neglecting those retained. We have labored against this course of sheep-breeders heretofore; and in every instance in the past when farmers have felt discouraged about growing wool and faiily becoming disgusted at the low prices they were getting for it, and resolved to get rid of their sheep at almost any figure that buyers might offer, they themselves have afterward seen that they were in error and admitted it. The fallacy, or we had better say tbe unsoundness, of the policy of abandonixg the production of such a staple product as wool, because the price rules low for a single season, will be quite apparent to us if we apply the rule to other staple products. It would require that wheat-rais-ing be suspended when tbe wheat market is dull ana prices run low, and with that, the growing of clover also to enrich the land; if pork paid no profit for a time we should breecr no hogs and reduce the com crop; if oats or potatoes wei;e low in price we should cease the growing’of these crops. It is plain enough that tills policy would not answer-in a b®tnessme that of* farming. No" prudent farmer would dare to relinquish wheat-growing because the price of a bushel of wheat at any particular time fell down to cost of productidn. His views in relation to the circumstances which govern the price of-wheat would teach him,that these are not of a permanent character, that a change must certainly take placs for tbe better m the course of another twelvemonth period. He therefore sows his fields again with wheat. But a farmer could suspend or reduce the production of any grain crop for a year or two with less danger and less doss than he will surely experience—we say surely—if he disposes of his flock of sheep. A good flock of sheep once gone is not easily replaced again. It cannot be done in a single year, or in two or three years; aha when it is once accomplished it is at a heavy expense. The wool-grower who now disposes of his flock will do so at very low rates of course. When he again wishes to begin wool-growing he will be obliged to pay a ropnd price for sheep. A fickle policy in the busipess of fanning will |pjure the farming interest as much as it would that of merchandising or manufacturing; and we believe that a system of .farming which embraces the production of all the staples, such as grain, grass, ahimals and wool,; in proper proportion, depending on -file size of .the farm, location and easy markets, and which produces these in uniform Quantity as nearly as may be, will prove the most successful system taking a life-time of it. In every event and in every change and chance, and especially in times of financial stringency like the present, the farmer who grows the most to file acre, who raises the greatest number of pounds of wool to the, head, is the most successful and has least cause for complaint. The wool-grower who sheare four to six pounds to the bead don’t compiaiß much if he does not realize more than two

shillings a |xmmi for- his wool. If wheat bring# but a dollar, the fields which turn out thirty bushels to the acre are not to be found fault with. If we could only grow two pounds of wool on a sheep during a year, or twelve bushels of wheat on an acre, we should feel Justified in relinquishing the business of both woo! and wheatgrowing; and farmers who have such sheep would find their best interests fdstered by selling them off and getting half the number which would produce more wool and cost less thanhalf to keep and care for .—Detroit Tribune.

Saving Seed Cora.

We introduce this now, not for the reason that it is the appropriate time to save seed, but it 4s the right time to prepare to save it. .Many farmers neglect this important duty for the reason that they have no place to keep it To gather early, which ii the appropriate time, the corn Is green, andmust be put some place to dry. In most cases this 1b either where it is subject to be caught in raths, or devoured by chickens or domestic animals. So many hindrances prevent its accomplishment. Let us suggest a plan. Build a smoke house two stories high; each story six feet. If you raise yearly one hundred acres of cord it will take fourteen bushels of seed. This will require & space of forty-two square feet, so that the upper Btory of a smoke house five feet square would be room enough. But we would recommend building at least eight feet Suare. Put in no lower floor except of me. The second floor should be laid with two inch strips one inch apart- In the middle of the upper room for the com turn a queensware crate upside down, so that the smoke and heat from below wilL quickly penetrate the entire corn. Malta it perfectly tight, sides and roof, except latticed ventilators ip the gable entisi, and have these closed during winter. Then gather the seed com before' the Septeratember frosts, and put in this second story and build a fire under it so as to thoroughly dry it out before it is cold enough to freeze. In this position it is free from rats and mice, and if tight, not subject to be injured by snows, nor by the gases which frequently destrpv seed com in barn or stables, arising from cattle and fermentation es manures.

This, too, has another advantage which in one year will pay for the house. Corn .when thoroughly smoked will not be troubled by the ground squirrels, which are a serious nuisance in all parts of lowa. We frequently see farms where one-twentieth of the corn is taken up by those pests. This would be five acres in 100, which would detract from the crop 200 bushels. This would pay for two smoke and corn houses. But we wonld advise our readers to lay in at least three times as. much seed corn as they will want. There are a plenty of dilatory neighbors who will never build such a house, and will never have good seed com. And such well-smoked com, when its virtues become well known, will always command double the price of common com, and thus the house can be paid for in another way each year. Alter the corn is dried out in the fall, if there should be a damp or rainy season, it might be well to build a lire under the com. But in the late winter or early spring, when smoking the meat, the com can get the principal smoking to make it offensive to the squirrels. 'This is so practical and reasonable a plan, we hope that but few wide-awake farmers will neglect to be ready for seed-corn this fall. —Des Moineg (Iowa) State Register.

Jimmy’s Biggest Fare.

“ I made a nice little pot o’ money that way once, the biggest fare for one job I ever got in my life—sß,soo. I’ll tell ye how it came. I was a-standin’ by my horses one day, an’ a young feller came up to me—a line-lookin’, purty feller he was, too—and commenced talkin’ like he had some’at on his mind. He said he thought he could depend on me, though he had a ticklish sort o’ job, and I told him the bit o’ lead wasn’t dug that was to stop mv wind, and that he’d better try me. The upshot of it was that there was a girl coming down on the Sacramento boat that he was dead in love with. She was to come With her father, mother, brother and a negress. Kentuckians they was and didn’t Tike him, ‘ An’ they were a fighting crowd,’ he said. So he give me a letter which I was to get to her somehow. So I drives down there and finds the whole party in the cabin, the girl settin’ on a sofa betune her mother mi’ the servent. S# I goes along’to ’em, asks if they’d like a carriage, shoves my cards in their faces, and when I come to the gal reached down and dropped the letter in her lap, which I had it handy in my coat sleeve, and gew her a pinch at the same time. She dropped on it at once and goes into her cabin and reads it, and when she comes out 'whispers to me, ‘l’ll be ready at three o’clock in the morn in’.’ Well, at three o’clock him and I went down. I knowed the policemen well, and told ’em that, whatever they might hear, it was all right; no murder, no nothin’ Mke that,* and to keep shady. Soshe Hast In rowed her clothes out the window and then Jumped out herself on to the dock. He catched her in his arms and kissed; her like mpd. Then they jumped in an’ I drew top speed out to the Mission, but before we got away they found out she, was gone and yelled wateli and blue mur- ; der, but they couldn’t catch us, and so we druvout to the old church and Father Scannel married them. After gettin’ spliced they went to file Red House, and when they got there I says to him, ‘ Now, sir, my fare.’ ‘ Well,’ says he, ‘ what is it V 1 Anythin* ye plaze, sir,’ says I; and he counted me out $8,500 in gold slngst—fifty -dollar pieces. Well, that was the biggest fare I evep got; but -them days is all gone and the business is spoiled. There’s iio money in hackin’ nowadays.” —San Francisco Evening Post.

A Carious Phenomenon.

’ At a recent meeting of tlie Physical and Natural History Society of Geneva M. Theod. Turiettini, who has to make frequent visits to the boring of die Bt. Gothard tunnel, gave an account of a phenomenon whtehls frequently produced during the progreas as the work in the granltie mass of the mountain. When the rock is shaken by tlie explosion of a mine, the reports resulting from the explosion are not the only immediate ones produced. Afterward, and at equal intervals, other spontaneous explosions are produced at considerable distances from the mine hole, of which the cause is unknown, and which cause numerous accidents to die workmen. The phenomenon is new, and it appears to indicate in the very substance of the granite a species of tension inherent in its formation, and which, agitated at one point, is transmitted to a distance so as suddenly to disengage large fragments of material. It may be compared with the experiment daily made by the quanymen who work the erratic blocks in the valleys

of tbe Alps to obtain building materials. In order to obtain them they use wedges of wood which they drive into holes pierced for the purpose, and which, being wetted, chase by their expansion thi disjunction of the granitic masses. This disjunction is not produced by gradual fissures, as Jn the case of millstones, for example. It is always accompanied by an explosion more or less violent, and the two aisjolned surfaces cannot again be exactly fitted to each other. There is deformation of the material, leading to tbe presumption of a state of latent tension existing in tbe constitution of the rock itself, and which, a point hitherto quite mysterious, may throw light on the mode of formation of these ancient rocks. — Nature.
