HOW TO rTAKE HARD WAFER
SOFT.

As our Yankee women cannot wash with
hard water and do justice 70 fine linen, allow
me to give simple and easy way to make it
soft on short notice. which will be of much
value to many in dry time:
While the water is heating take two quarts
of wheat bran, ppt it into bag and place it
in the boiler of water, and when hot enough
to use, it will be soft. This is enough for CON
mon washing.
Or you can use soda, few ounces Of which
will give whiteness to the fabric, without the
slightest injury, and will not affect the hands
Or in my opinion borax is probably the
best neutralzer used to soften water. 1t is
better than soda or any other alkali yet
known. 1t takes half a teacupful to ten or
twelve gallons of boiling water, and will save
nearly one half in soap. An extra quartity
of this powder is used for laces, cambrics, &c.
Borax being neutral salt, does rot injure
the texture of the linen its effect is to soften
the hardest water, and is excellent to clean
hair, and therefore it should be on every toilet
table. Hard water will not make good tea.--
Soft water is essential. All water can be
made soft by using teaspoonful of borax
powders to a teakettle of water, in which it
should boil. It will sare much in quantity, say
one-ffth of tea.

City Habits.

The principal business men of our large
commercial cities are mere denizens. They
have their domicil in some neighboring village
or in the country, and the city is only COM
mercial mart where the merchants, landlords
and artifcers come to do business. Boston is
literally place of shops and boarding houses
with few residences The editor of the n.
c. Presb perian aludes to the same character
istic feature of New York as follows:
Thousands of business men of New FORK
reside in the neighboring towns and villages.
A proportion of the occupants of the i'm
mense mercantile establishments in the lower
parts of the city leave their counting rooms
and Offices in the afternoon and return to their
families Many of them do not spend night
in the city during the year. The neighboring
| towns in New Jersey, Connecticut and up the
Hudson are filled by citizens of this class. 1t
is estimated that at least FIVE hundred gentle
men in Elizabeth go in daily to New Y Yorl
| and are thus enabled to combine the business
advantages of the Metropolis with the health
and retirement of the country. There are
about twenty trains each way between the
| two places, and very little more time is occu-
pied than in going from one end of the city to
the other The morning trains over the differ
ent routes leadi. from all directions into the
city begin to pick up their passengers forty
and even fifty miles distant, and large acces
sions are received at every station, until the
crowd is numbered by hundreds, who scatter
from the depots in the city to their places o
business end return after the labors of the day
to go through the same routine on the NOR
| L.,
the end of the year.
Scarcely one half the editors of the New
York papers live in the city bounds, and ont
of them, the senior of the Journal Of Com
merce, resides as far as New Haven in Comet
icut A large number of the secretaries o
the benevolent societies seek homes iu the vi
cinity, and thus consult both economy ant
comfort. The pastors are the only class wht
are obliged to remain and "endure the hea
and burden of the day " and night too. Non
residence is inconsistent with their condition
and duties. The obligations of a pastora
charge demand their constant presence and un
-emitting attention. Their congregation, how
ever, are always willing to compensate for tn
tolls ard arxieties of their charge by releasing
them for six weeks or two months in the sum
mer TO this admirable arrangement it is ow
ing that so many of them are able to bear TIT
labors of their position, and this explains thei
absence from the city during the season whei
visitors from the South resort to their churche
and find the doors shut, or the pulpit occupies
by a stranger. The book store of Messrt
Carriers is the principal exchange of the Oh
School ministers, and here the stranger is like
ly to meet with a score of them on any day

soCIAx. LIFE NOT THE CHIEF
END OF MAN.

4 popular lecturer at Chicago lately advoca-
ted with some plausibility, the drinking and
dancing customs of other countries, means
of promoting social intercourse, and adding to
the animation and grace of general society
To this the Congregational Herald replies with
some very apt remarks
The value of social life has been unduly
magni6ed. It is of far less moment than do
mestic life. That man should please and en-
tertain his neighbors or acquaintance, for a
few moments or hours, it may be, while he Is
with them, dwindles into insignif1cance by the
side of the question, whether he makes happy
the companion of his life. and his children
whose veal or woe for time eternity, depend
much on fathers influence. That a woman
should be fascinating at the social party, what
is it compared with shedding the radiance Of
love and kindness on husband and children II
her family. And social life that would inter
fere with these most sacred home duties, vii
prove a curse, not alone to the families fnaIne
diately affected, but to society at large. We
shall owe no gratitude to him who shall Sc
solve the social problem as to disturb the hap
piness of the freside.

TaE sUg5-FLOwER AS PRHvEN-
TATIvE or EEvGRs

A correspondent of the Sol Of the South,
writing from place in Alabama which, he
says, was peculiarly subject to. fever, gives the
result of his experience in the premises, and
in not single instance where he has planted
sun-fowers around his negro cabins did their
inmates suffer from fever his wife, two chill
dren and two house servants; ell had fever he
not having planted any Of the sun-fowers
around his own dwelling, which in his opinion,
accounted for the difference in the result. My
opinion Isl that the sun-howers rank growth
absorbs the very elements in the atmosphere
that produce fevers, or chills and fever, and
what is the life of the sun-fowers is highly OBJ
noxious to the health Of the human family, nor
do I believe that man could ever have a
chill who would sleep in bed of rank sun
flowers. This, too, seems to be no new theo-
ry, as Lieutenant Maury states that his garden
er, Frenchman, informed him that their sani-
tary influence had been long known in France.

Gold.

A cubic inch Of gold is worth ore hundred
and forty-six dollars cubic foot, two hun
dred and forty-two thousand, two hundred and
eighty-eight dollars cubic yard, six millions,
eight hundred and eleven thousand, seven hun
dred and seventy-six dollars. The quantity of
gold now in existence is estimated to be three
thousand million of dollars, which, welded into
one mass, could be contained in cube of
twenty-three feet.
The relative value of gold to silver, in the
days of the patriarch Abraham, was one to
eight at the period B. G.. 1000, it was one to
twelve B. G. 500, it was one to thirteen at
the commencement of the Christian Era, it was
one to nine A. D. 500, it was one to eighteen;
| 4. D. HOO, it was one to eight; A. D. 400
it was one to eleven A. D. 1913, it was one
to thirteen; A. D. 100, it was one to fifteen
and II half; which latter ratio, with but slight
variation, it has maintained to the present day
Various speculations have recently been made
respecting the effect of the large relative in,
crease in the production of gold over silver
and the subject is one of great interest and i'm,
portance. The theories of the writers who
have expressed opinions on the subject are
widely different, so far as the effects of the in
crease upon the precious metals are concerned
All agree, however, upon the widespread ben
efts that have resulted from the large increase
of the production of gold during the last ter
years. The war in Europe and the crops ir
America this year will both affect business re
lations so as to exert considerable Influence
upon commercial values directly, and indirect
ly upon the relative estimate of the precious
Iaetals- Boston Transcript.

Mr.. Jacob Strawn, of Illinois, has earned
the reputation of being the GRANT farmer OF
the West" Twenty-seven years ago he settled
in Illinois, poor man: His operations were
small at first, but continued to ihcrCase each
year, until he had reduced over 10000 scres
of land to a state of cultivation. He has one
farm of 10000 acres, and another of 1900
He f1ss usually employed some 200 to 800 men,
and a large number 81 horses: Every year, I'M
til quite recently, he stalled from 5000 to g.
600 cattle; and kept other live stock in pro
portionate numbers, In this twenty-seven
years be has made fortune of million ofdol-
lars, and is still bale aud hearty to enjoy it. He
has one corn-field, in Morgan county, some six
miles long. Lately he has not been farming
so much, having converted some of his real es-
tate iuto cash. He writes the following items
of advice to farmers, in The Chicago Prdss:
"When you wake up, do not roll over, but
roll out. 1t will give you time to ditch all
your sloughs, break them up harrow them, and
SOW them with timothy and red clover. One
bushel of clover to ten bushels timothy is suffi-
cient.
Make your fence high, tight, ard strong, SC
that it will keep cattle and pigs out. If you
have brush, make your lots secure, and keeT
your hogs from the cattle, for if the corn is
clean, they will eat it better than if not
"Be sure to get your hands to bed by To-
clock. They win rise early by the force cir
cumstances.
"Pay hand-if he is poor hand-a1l you
promise him. If he is good hand, pay him g
little more it viii encourage him to do still
better.
always feed your hands as well as you dc
yourself; for the lahoring men are tne bone
and sinew of the world, and ought to be wei
treated.
81 am satisfied that getting up early, indust
ry, and regular habits, sre the best medicines
ever prescribed for health.
"When it comes rainy, bad weather so thai
you cannot work out of doors, cut and split
your wood Make your tracks when it rains
hard, cleaning your stables or fixing something
which you would have to stop the plow for ant
! fix in good weather. Make your tracks fixing
