Culliire of Silk. — .\ writer for the Troy Biiilget, 

 says ' Tlio I'oiimlos of every fiirmor's fiiinily coiilil 

 Biimmlly realize $100 mid iijuvariLs dy tlie culture 

 ot'silli. 'I'lierc is no ilmilit of making fine, first 

 rate silk, as tlie ex|teiimems have been Cully tried. 

 Mrs I'awling of this city, last year nuulo as beau- 

 tiful silk Hs the l)est iniporteil. 1 would recom- 

 ■mcnd those who wish iuforinalion on this subject 

 to call on Mrs I'awlinir, or Dr Corning. Dr 

 Corning has planted a large number of mulberry 

 tees anil is doing much to advance the silk culture. 



Hangins; of innilow lilinds. — A correspondent 

 jf the National Intelligencer says ; ' Itis surpris- 

 to nie that the mode of hanging window 

 )linJs universally i>ractised in France, should not 

 lave been introduced into our hot and sunny cli- 

 nate. There the blind is hung by binges at the 

 op, and opens by being pushed out from below 

 It any distance agreeable, instead of being hung 

 m the sida and opening perpendicularly. By 

 lur present mode, the blinds cannot be opened 

 itiiout admitting the sun ; but by the French 

 ode the blind may be opened, and tiie air ad- 

 nitted and the suu at the same time excluded — 

 lie window being still shaded, though the blind 

 e open. Let any one try this plan on a south- 

 irn exposure, aud he will find its superiority, 

 inother advantage is, that the blind is more easily 

 md quickly opened and shut ; and a further 

 iperiority is, you can have your blinds open 

 ithout losing the pleasure of privacy in your 

 partment. We take, unfortunately, all our 

 shioDS from England, and if England had adopt- 

 d the French mode of hanging window blinds, 

 re should long ago have co|iied it. But the Eng- 

 lish climate, requiring the admission of all the 

 Ittle sunshine nature gives it, forbids the adoption 

 F the French mode, and we, therefore, have re^ 

 cted it, although our climate renders it more de- 

 rable than even ni Franco itself. I pray our 

 alders to consider the subject.

Hydrophobia. — -Dr Hamilton, after a laborious 

 search, fixes the 10th day after the infliction of 

 c wound, as the earliest period at which this 

 sease has appeared, and 19 months as the latest. 

 ?t\veen these periods the times of attack are 

 TV various. Of 131 cases, 17- were seized he- 

 ro the 30th day j G3 between the 30th and 59th ; 

 ; from 60 to 90 <iays ; 9 from 90 to 120 ; and 14 

 )m 5 to 19 months. The Dr afterv,'ard3 men- 

 ins the case of a boy bitten in the toe by a cat, 



the 14th July, 1797, in which the poison lay 

 rmant until 19th Nov. 1800, a period of three 

 irs and four months! Dr Thacher's work on 

 iilrophobia contains a minnto description of sev- 

 al cases, almost too horrible to read or think of. 



Journal of Commerce. 



m apothecary in the neighborhood of Narbonne has 

 blished a treatise extolling the husks of grapes 

 lich have been deprived of their alcohol by distil- 

 ,.ion, as an excellent substitute for bark in tanning 

 ither. After having prepared the skins in the 

 ual way, he places them in the pits and covers 

 ;m with the grape husks. Erom five and thirty 

 five and forty days are suflicient to complete the 

 nning. This method, according to the author of 



offers the following advantages : The operation 

 much more rapid, it is much more economical : 

 2 leather has an agreeable odor instead of that 



tan ; and it is twice as durable as leather tanned 



bark.
