TO LIGHT New CANDLE QUICKLY
dip the wick in the melted tallow of
one already burning.
KEROSENE LAMP CHIMNEYs wide at
the bulb or lower part are less liable to
break than if narrow.
SHAVING HINT-Suspend the glass SO
that only the part of the face to be shaved
will be visible; there will be less danger
of cutting the skin Reason: sight of
ones eyes distracts attention from the ra-
GER Place the mirror where it will not
reflect the light of window into the eyes.
The best place is where the light will fall
upon the face, and not upon the glass
When done, wash off all the soap, and
finish with little diluted vinegar, or al
cohol, OF cologne water. This will neu-
tralize the effects of the alkali, preventing
it from chapping the skin, or affecting
the color OF the whiskers.
REPELILNG RED ANTs.-Try setting
the safes, closets, ETC., on new bricks; a
subscriber says this proved effectual.-A
sponge with little sugar sprnkled
through it, will attract and hold hundreds
of the insects, which may be killed with
hot water.
CAST Iron STOVES are preferable to
sheet iron; they radiate heat more freely
and equally, do not cool off SO quickly,
and are much more durable
CONDENSED MILK is the pure article
made purer, that is, with large proper
tion of its water evaporated. 1t is pref
erable to most "milkmen's." Each con-
sumer can add water to his liking, grading
it from the cream point to the ''skyblue." "
PEELING ONIONS is a fearful employ
ment. A lady says it will be less annoy
ing by putting them into cold water and
immersing often while peeing.
To Color BUTTER.-For every 4
quarts of cream, CRATE | middling sized
carrot, pour on it pint Of boiling water,
let it stand until cold and strain the Ii
quer into the cream. 1t does not hurt
the favor

Booth. the Tsagedain.

In the early and palmy days of his
theatrical career, Booth and several
friends had been invited to dine with an
old gentleman in Baltimore Of distinguis-
he'd kindness, urbanity and piety. The
host, though disappearing of theatre-go-
ing, heard so much of Booths remark
able power, that curiosity to see the man
had overcome all scruples and prejudices
After the entertainment was over, lamps
lighted and the company reseated in the
drawing room, some one requested Booth
as particular favor, and that all present
would doubtless appreciate, to read aloud
the Lords Prayer
Booth expressed his willingness, and
all eyes were turned expectantly. upon
him. Booth rose slowly and rcvercnty
from his chair. 1t was wonderful to
watch the emotions that confused his
countenance He became deadly pale,
and his eyes, turned tremblingly upwards,
were wet with tears. AS yet he had not
spoken The silence could be felt 1t
had become absolutely painful, until at
last the spell was broken, as if By an
electric shock. To his rich-toned voice,
from white lips, he sylabled forth, "0ur
Father, which art in heaven" etc, with
pathos and soemnity that thrilled all
hearts. He finished The silence con-
tinued. Not voice was heard or muscle
moved in this rapt audience until from a
remote corner of the room a suddued sob
was heard, aud the old gentleman (their
hosD stepped forward with streaming
eyes and tottering frame and seized Booth
by the hand" Sir," said he, in broken
accents, ''you afford me a pleasure for
which my whole future will feel grateful.
[ am an old man and every day from my
boyhood TO the present time, have re
peated the Lords prayer, but l never
heard it before, never"
"You are right" replied Booth. 'To
read that Prayer as it should be read, has
cost me the severest labor and study for
thirty years. and am yet far from salts
fed with my reading Of that wonderful
production. Hardly one person in ten
thousand comprehends how much beauty,
tenderness, and grandeur can be conden-
scd in a space SO small, and in words so
simple That prayer itself illustrates the
truth of the Bible, and stamps upon it
the seal of divinity"
$50 great was the effect produced y
says our informant, who was present,
that converation was sustained but a
short time longer in subdued monosyl-
ablos and almost ceased and soon after
at an early hour, the company broke up
and returned to their several homes, with
thoughtful faces and hearts,

Use of the Arms in Walking,

The first time you are walking with
your arms at liberty, stop moving them,.
and hold them to your side. You will be
surprised to find how soon your compan-
ion will leave you behind, although you
may hurry, twist, wrigsle, and try very
hard to keep up. One reason for the slow
walk among girls is to be found in this
practice of>carryins the arms motionless
Three miles an hour, with the arms still,
is as hard work as four miles with the
arms free.
[ have seen the queens of the stage
walk. L have seen few girls aud women
of queenly bearing walk in the street and
drawing room. They moved their arms
in free and graceful manner. Could
this habit become universal among girls
their chest would enlarge and their bear
ing be greatly improved See that girl
walking with hEth hands in her muf.-
How she wriggles and twists her should
ers and hips This is because her arms
are pini0ned. Give them free swing. and
her gait would soon become graceful
You have seen pictures of muscles
Those Of the upper part Of the body, you
remember, spread out from the shoulder,
in all directions, like fan. Now if you
hold the shoulder still, the muscles Of the
chest will shrink, the shoulders stoop, and
the whole chest becomes thin and ugly.
But some girls will say, swinging the
arms must be very ight exercise" True,
it is very slight if you swing the arms but
once or ten times, buff you swing them ten
thousand times, in a day, you will obtain
more exercise of the muscles of the chest
than by all the ordinary movements COM
bined. Indeed, if | were asked what ex-
ercise | thought most effective for devel-
oping the chests Of American girls,
should reply at once, swinging the arms
while walking.-Dr. Do Lclris.

\ Russian nobleman, extremely wealthy
and very reserved and melancholy, has
appeared of late in the best circles, to
which he has had most distinguished in

able for wearing ring of colossal pro
portions, covering nearly the entire fin

tire being composed of substance resemb-

Or the cause of its being worn, and plac-

in the light of being an eccentric indivtd-

to know something about the matter, at
last mustered the requisite courage, and
said: Monsieur, every one is very much

ring you wear, and for one should be
delighted to know its origin" The Rus

while he replied: MADAM, the ring is
not a jewel, as you suppose but tomb"
The curious gathered round while he
continued-"This jetsubstance 18th body

her that I would guard her day and

where the most able chemist of the day
promised to redac5 it, by powerful dissoi-
vents and by great compression, to size
which enable me to wear it as a souvenir.
For eight days he labored almost con-
stantly in my presence, and saw the
dear remains gradually dissolve and in

MISCHIEF-MAKERS,

o! could there in the world be found
Some little spot of happy ground,
Where village pleasures might go round
Without the village tattllng
How doubly blest that place would be,
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free from the bitter misery
Ofgossip's endless prattling
If such spot were really known,
Dame Peace might claim it as her own,
And in it she might fix her throne
For ever and for ever;
There like queen might reign and live,
While every one would soon forgive
The little Sights they might receive,
And be offended never
The Observation-Disclosures that remove
Far from our hearts the warmth of love,
And lead US all to disapprove
What gives another pleasure;
They seem to take ones part, but when
They've heard our cases, quickly then,
They soon retail them all again,
Mixed in poisonous measure.
And then they've such a cunning way
Of telling tales. They whispering say,
Don't mention what ! say pray;
| would not tell another.
Straight to your neighbor's house they go,
Narratin- everything they know,
And break the peace of high and low
Wife, husband, friend, and brother.
O! that the misunderstanding crew
Were all reduced to one or two,
And they were painted red or blue!-
That every one might know them
Then would our village soon forget
To rage and quarrel, fume and fret,
And fall into an angry pet,
With things too much below them.
