LIQUID EMBELLISHMENTS CEN

LIQUID GLUE--lNsOLUBLE CEMENT. -
Among many scientific papers and items Of
useful information contained in the second
number Of the Chemical News, reprinted in
New York, we CLEAN the following account of
some Of M. Dumoulin's discoveries in applied
science:
AS far back as 1920 he was heard of as the
preparer Of unalterable ink, rendering forgery
impossible. We shall net dwell on his car
burator, his new method Of preparing pieric
acid, SO decorating and explosive, but pass
on to notice OF tie process Of making liquid
glue. It consists in pouring a small quanti-
ty of nitric acid into D solution of common
glue, CIR gelatin, in its own weight OF water.
This glue, Of two sorts, brown and white, is
very strong, AID is employed in private
houses, workshops ard BY jewelers., clookma-
kers, &c. Thousands ofviais are sent abroad.
TO this liquid II. Dumollil aas added the
discovery CT cement insoluble in boiling
water, and which rendered greet service il

MATURING TREES. Too many, in apply
ing manure to their fruit trees, forget the
position of the roots and apply within a foot
or so of the body. If they were carefully
to remove the soil, they would find that trees
Of vigorous growth, and from seven to ten
feet high, have roots, that are really the
main sources of nourishment. varying from
six to ten feet from the body. The applica-
ton of manure, therefore, to give the best
results, should be distributed around the tree
at distance of from five to eight feet from
the trunk. In positions where the turf is
desired to be maintained, cut and roll it
back, put on the manure, fork it in lightly,
and then replace the turf.

THE TOMATO. most healthful and
universally liked vegetable may be kept, it
is said, for winter use, by pulling up the
vines, with the unripe fruit hanging to them,
before the fall Of frost, and hanging them in
cellar. The fruit will ripen in such sit
uation, until Christmas, if the cellar is not
too dry or warm. The vines should be
pulled up before frost, as they are easily in
jured by it. AS universally known and used
as the tomato is at this day, its introduction
and adoption into the list of market vegeta-
bles dates only few years back, previously
to which it was raised only as a curios-
ity in gardens among flowers, and called the
Glove apple no one seeming to be aware
Of its palatable and healthful qualities. Pro-
badly no vegetable in its season, is SO extern
sively used as the tomato, ard with as great
impunity. AS an alternative, it is said to be
better than medicine in many cases Of disease,
being cooling, soothing and agreeable. al

DRYING SWEET CoRN.-Boil the ears few
minutes above fve-three is better than
five; then cut and lay away to dry. An
oven, moderately warm, is the best ; or take
any method that will soonest dry your corn,
being always careful not to burn it,, and do
not lay in Jumps OF too thick together, it
will soon mold. Around stove, or where
there is good fire, is a good place, always
avoiding dampness, steam, etc. This is all
your corn is fit to put away for next Win
ter's use. In using, you are to restore it,
as near as possible, to its original state
This is best done by thoroughly soaking in
water, the water retained to boil it in.

FADED GLORIES.
BY ERNEST MAXWELL

"The memory ofjoys that are passed, pleasant
Midst these days of gloom and sorrow,
When we dread each coming morrow,
Fearing lest the morn may bring US more of evi
than before,
While we drain the cup Of anguish,
While our hearts responding anguish,
Turn we still, with mournful pleasure to the hap
Ply days of yore.
While the e Red Cross yet waved Ger US,
While thousand hopes up bore us,
And our fondly trusting spirits still the smile Of
triumph wore.
While world seemed to adore us,
As we trod the path before us,
Leading onward, DER and upward, on to Free
dom's glorious shore.
When the very heavens above US,
Smiling, seemed to cheer and love US,
And our noble martyr army victor still its ban
ners bore.
Ere the storm-cloud which impended,
Bursting, our light vision ended,
Bowed us to the earth in sorrow, racked our
hearts with anguish sore.
Aye, although we sit in ashes,
Covered Ger with scars and gashes,
Vengeful stabs of the oppressor which we bear
forever more.
Still, in deepest desolation,
Have We yet the reservation
Of the joys of days departed, of the glories gone
before.
Though we weep fallen nation,
Have our martys found salvation,
And the measure of their glory shall be full for
ever more.
Faithfully they bore their burden,
Well they won the heroes guerdon,
And through all the coming ages earth their men,
DRY shall adore.
These are joys which cannot leave US,
Though the foe of all should 'reave us,
This is balm to hearts of anguish, sweet relief to
spirits sore.
Through all time, in song and story,
Earth shall give our need of glory,
That at least, we fought for Freedom, left our
prints on her bright shore.

To REMOVE FLATNEss IN WINE-This Is
best done by addition Of little new brisk
wine of the same kind or by mixing in two
or three pounds of honey, Or bruised sultana
raisins, and three OF four quarts Of good
brandy per hogshaao. BY this treatment the
vine will usually be recovered in about a
fortnight, unless in verJ cold weather. Should
it be wanted soones add a tablespoonful or

lFrOm the Mississippi (Enterprise) Star.J
Sleeping Equality.

A friend had Just stepped il, who gives
us the following as practical test of the
sincerity of the newly converted Radicals
We recommend its general adoption by those
of our colored people whose votes and lntiu-
ence the Radicals are endeavoring to obtain
by regular system of equality hoodwinking !:
''Rey Mr. Talley, of the Montgomery
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, who is 'weak vessel" has been
bought up by the emissaries of the Northern
Methodist Church. In the ignorant zeal Of
new convert, who, of course, wished to
render some service for his money, he went
into the Summerfeld District, over which
Dr.. A. HI. Mitchell presides, and began the
propagation of the perfect equality doctrine
among the colored people. This equality he
carried beyond Beyond; and, as the legiti-
mate result, was lionized by the negroes.
"An old gentleman of the white persua-
sion, residing in the neighborhood where this
mission of equality was laboring, saw proper
to doubt Mr.. Talley's sincerity, and told a
favorite boy-an old. time house and body
servant, who had imbibed great confidence
in Mr.. Talley as sincere equality man
that he had as well keep his money-if he
intended to give Mr.. Talley any-until he
could test his sincerity. A new idea struck
Jack. Mr.. Talley was to stay all night at
jacks masters. When he retired to bed,
Jack accompanied the reverend turn-coat to
his room and held him in long conversation
on the equality doctrine, until Mr.. Talley
was fully committed to it, and thoroughly
sleepy, he took off his coat ready for bed;
so did Jack. Boots came next; so did Jacks.
Talley's pants off Jacks ditto. Look here,
Jack, what are you up to?' quoth Mr.. Talley.
"'Nufin tall, sir, jes going to be "dOwn
to" sumfn, OATS ALL replied Jack.
"'Whafs that you are going to be 'down
to-" saith his reverence.
"'Well, Use going to bed wild you, OATS
all dere is about it. | is les as good as you
is, accordin' to the Lords gospel by you,
and l is tired of sleeping wid myself in the
shuck-pen. So is gwine to sleep wild you
in masters bed,' said Jack.
''Mr. Talley took a deliberate, indignant
survey of Jack from head to foot, slowly put
on his clothes, went to the stable, bridled
and saddled his horse, and left that ilk o
sadder and wiser man."

Remarkable FpclIift!ity.

We briefly stated on Friday last that a
German named Joha Haef1er living in this
city, had, on the previous day, followed to
the grave his thirty-third child. and that he
was the father Of thirty children. Since
then we have learned some further particu-
lars Of this remarkable case. Heather was
married three times His first marriage took
place in Germany when he was twenty-one
years of age. With this wife he had seven
teen children. At four successive accouch-
ments, triplets twice twins, and the last a
single birth. Shortly after the latter event
the wife died He was again married, and
the issue of the second wife was fifteen chill
dren-seven times twins and the eighth a
single child This wife also died shortly af-
ter the last birth His third and present
wife has thus far presented him with five
children, one at birth. The sex Of the
children were nineteen boys and eighteen
girls, only four of whom are now living
but whether the living are all issue Of the
last wife or part of the previous wives, we
have not ascertained. Haeffler is now fifty
two years of age, Of medium size, and Of
hardy, vigorous constitution. He lives on
what is known as the Factory road, within
the city limits. In some sections of Ger
many premium is awarded married people
who produce certain number of children.
Haeffier lived in that section, and was the
recipient of one hundred guilders previous to
leaving He apparently labors under the
impression that similar reward awaits him
in this country. If there is any State in the
Union providing for such cases, the authori-
ties had better send along the greenbacks.

BOILED WuEAr-It is possibly not as
we'll understood as it should be, among
housekeepers, that healthful and nutritive
food may be prepared by boiling wheat to be
eaten with milk or molasses, the former to
be preferred when attainable. It is first
rate thing for children, while adults may use
it to an advantage. Some have the wheat
cracked in mill before using, which is, per-
haps, the preferable plan, but it will answer
we'll without this preparation. A lady cor
respondent of the Ohio farmer say:
"The wheat should be cracked in mill.
Take one quart and put it into half a pot Of
warm water, and let it stand upon the stove
for several hours then boil slowly and stir
it occasionally till it becomes thick; put in a
handful of salt For children it can be used
with milk. IF left standing till cool, it is
very nice to eat in slices, and use with cream
and sugar or fry like mush. The last men
toned prefer for general use, but it can be
prepared in various ways"
If boiled whole the wheat should be allow
ed to soak in tepid water before boiling, that
the grain may have chance to soften and
swell. When properly boiled, use with milk
suitably seasoned with salt and pepper, and
it will be found a nourishing, healthful and
palatable dish - ol1ey Farmer.
