The Chemiker-Zeitung spates that wall papers, in imitation of silk, are manufactured at Aschaffburg, djed in the mass, and afterward printed by means of the cylinder machine.

The paper is made of cellulose. It has a decided silky appearance and feel, and the effect is pronounced pleasing. The designs are executed in darker shades of the ground color. The latest triumph of French chemistry is the extract of color from red cabbage by boiling and maceration and pressure. The Cauline is a deep violet.

From this, by various additions, other colors are formed, as in the case of aniline. They are perfectly harmless, of exquisite bloom for dyeing and perfection itself for the artist. A German mventer proposes to make boots that will never wear out.

Scions were cut a little longer than the place to be bridged over. Then both ends of these scions were whittled in the shape of lcs tlizx wedges, and the buds taken oil.

A knife-blade was now inserted between the bark and wood of the tree abovo and below the girdled place, and a scion crowded in at the bottom and bent to as to be sprung into place at the top. Eight or ten of these scions were put to each tree and a small mound of cziilx was raised so as to cover tho wounds. The result was that every tree lived and did well. They did not make so much growth the first year as those not girdled, but since that time they have, to all appearances, done just as well, every other year being loaded with splendid Baldwins and at this time theso scions not only touch each other, but they have so crowded that it would be hard to tell that there had ever been any thing the matter, were it not for tho uniform ridgy appearance at tho foot of the trees. By this plan it takes but a few moments to fix a tree all right.

Cor. K. T. Tribune. Training Instead of Pruning.

I know of apple trees not yet twenty-five years old, off which, I think, thcro has been cut brush enough to weigh more than the whole tree as it now stands. And still the work goes on year after year. Now, this strikes me as a fearful waste, not only of the life and strength of the tree, but of the productive powers of the soil. Every year the tree is forced or allowed to produce a quantity of wood, only to be cut off and thrown away. Surely this is poor economy, at least.

If we could so manage tne tree that it should make wood where it is wanted, and only where it is wanted, all this waste would be avoided, and this wasted enenrsr would be turned to the production of fruit, and the tree be brought earlier into a fruit-producing condition. If we could, anord to watch the tree from the beginning, and pinch the ends of such shoots as seem inclined to ero too fast and too far, and rub out all such as start where they are not wanted, thus persuading the tree to grow into the proper shape, instead of letting it grow at random, and then trying to cut it in to shape afterward, we might have healthier and better trees. The principal objection made to the system of training trees, instead of pruning them, will probably be the extra time and attention required, and it may be that where fruit is as cheap and labor as dear as it is in this country at present, it would not pay, But, if it is the right principle, we should work toward it, instead of away from it. The indiscriminate and reckless sawing and chopping that one sees going on every spring in the orchards is far from being a pleasant or encouraging sight to a genuine lover of trees. Cor.

Country Gentleman. Thick or Thin Sowing. We sow our grain from a quarter to one-half too thick, thus throwing away each year a lare quantity of seed of our choicest gram, and all under the mistaken notion that it is needed. The grains, like fruit trees and plants in general, want son and air in plenty, not only as a necessity in growth, but to perfect their growth, and in particular the fruit and seed. Corn sown or planted close, it is well known, will not produce ears, and the stalk is less nutritious.

So fruit trees, with dense tops, fail to color and mature well their fruit, only that on tho outside being perfected, and not then so well as If sun and air had reached all parts of the tree. Grain standing thick has weak stalks (from the effects of the shade), unable to grow such large well filled heads as we find in the more scattered stalks standing high with large, drooping heads, supported by the strong stem, which seldom gets down. A little moisture lays the other fiat. The effect is upon the cells of the plant, elongated and enfeebled in the shade, toughened and perfected in the sun, making a stout, healthy plant. This is the explanation of science, and docs away with the common notions about lime, ashes, silex, a3 having that effect.

To sow thick is to exclude the sun and air from the start. The stem of the plant, kept thus constantly in tho shade, is weak through its whole growth, becomes pale and spindling, and the most affected where the longest confined to the shade, beginms' at the foot of the stem, which seldom fails of turning 0T7 where the stand is a close one, however rich the ground may be. Tha thus suffering, the berry of conns can not be expected to equal that of a stror healthy plant. We see this exemplified where the sowing is done in streaks, tho dense lines showing a shorter, wc.cr and closer growth than the adjoining sparse growth which always has tho longer, stouter stalks and the large all heads. The heads in the other casa are small, on a fine dwarf growth of utcra faded and shrunken almost to nothing.

It is only necessary to test the matter by such extremes anywhere to rati: one. What is wanted is to cow thin and even, and cover well. But besides thlz the absolute necessity' to the lv success Is a rich soil, in good ccndiilcn that is, well drained and mellow.

Thus preoccupied, we are fain to refer a distant cheering further down the line to tidings of the coming rations, and we gather by the roadside in order to get off the more promptly when our turn shall arrive.

The sound grows more and more distinct every moment, and now, far down the road some moving object can just be discerned in a cloud of dust which travels rapidly our way. Nearer and nearer it comes louder and more enthusiastic ring the shouts, and now we make out in the dust the figure of a single horseman, with a clump of others trailing off into obscurity behind him Jackson is coming! A moment more, and he is here, going at almost top-speed; his hat is off; his hair blown back from his broad white forehead his eyes dancing and his cheeks aglow with excitement, and the rush of keen air. And now the cheers grow deafening and ragged hats aro swung more wildly still as the men of the Fopt Cavalry recognize their lead er. The cavalcade passes like a whirlwind and disappears in the dust up the road, cheered to the very last lagging courier of the escort for we are in good humor now with ourselves and all the world. And a5 we step briskly out upon our homeward march, the air feels fresh and invigorating, and the miles seem shorter than they were in the morning; even the beloved biscuit is of minor consequence, and the promised pork pales beside the thought which fills H3 that we have seen ackson And we got the pork besides!

Whom?" asks the missionary. The man names the woman. Hast thou spoken to her?" Sometimes the man will answer, Yes she is not unwilling, but thou knowest womankind." "Why not?"
