To RESTORE LUsTER TO SILK
Every lady knows that black silk often
loses its luster and looks old, long before
it is worn out. 1t is a pity to lay il
aside, yet it is not pleasant to wear, for
glossiness is one of the beauties that
makes silk more desirable than other
fabrics; even bright new calico looks
better than lusterless faded silk. We
recently saw silk dress which had been
worn a long time, restored so as to look
almost as good as new, by very simple
process, description of which we pro-
cured for the AgriculturiSt Take two
raw potatoes of ordinary size, pare them
and remove the core if they are hollow.
Slice them into half pint of cold water
and leave them over night. The next
morning, sponge the silk with the water,
not wetting it too freely; then iron it,
and its appearance will be greatly i'm
proved.

A GPsEY TKIoK.-A party of stroll
ing Gipsies, who visited Belchertown a
few weeks ago, played an expensive and
wicked Joke upon Elisha Clark, an hon.
est and unsuspecting farmer of the town.
One OF the women informed him that
there was money buried on his farm, and
if he had $1,000 at his command she
could discover it for him. Mr.. Clark
couldn't raise but $500, which the priest
ess finally concluded would be sufficient.
Alter the money was obtained the Gip-
sey took the package in her hands, and
after going through a peculiar ceremony
handed it back for safe keeping, order
ing 1t to be locked up and not disturbed
for two weeks, or the spell would be
broken. At the expiration of two weeks
the trunk was opened, and an imitation
of the original package, found, which
however, was $500 short. She had sub,
stituted a neat counterfeit of the originar
while performing the grand incarnation
and then left for parts unknown
Springfield Republican.
