VARNIsH FOR SHoEs.-It 10 a bad plan to
grease the upper leather of shoes for the pur-
pose Of keeping them soft it rots the leath-
or and admits the dampness more readily
/. is better to make sarnish thus Put bsll
pound Of gum shellac broken up in small
pieces, in quart bottle or jug, cover it with
alcohol, cork it tight, and put it on a shell
i'm. warm place, shake it well several times
a day, then add piece of gum camphor as
large as hens egg, shake it well, and in a
few hours shake it again and add one ounce
of lamp-black. If the alcohol is good, it will
be dissolved in three days, then shake and
use. Ifit gets too thick, add alcobol-pour
out two or three teaspoonsful in saucer and
apply it with small paint brush. II the
materials were all good it will dry in about
6 We minutes, aud will be removed only Ly
wearing it of, giving gloss almost equal 10
patent leather. -a
The advantage of this prepara ton above
others is, that it does not strike into the
leather and make it hard, but remains on the
surface and yet excludes the water almost
perfectly. The same preparatit is admra-
bic for harness and does not soil when touch.
ed as lamp-black mixtures do.

EGGs BY WICHITA dozen Of eggs is a
little more definite quantity than a dozen of
potatoes, but still q very indefinite quantity
A dozen of eggs from little, scrawny, I'll kept
chickens, sell for the same price as dozen
from well kept fowls, while the difference be-
tween them is as great as the disparity be-
tween the hens that produce them. Purchas-
ers in the market take their chances for large
aad small, and each gets fair average, But
it 10 not SO with producers, AMI here is where
the injustice occurs. The man who raises
choice fowls, and keeps them in good condi-
tion, sells large, rich eggs for the same price
per dozen that is paid for others one third
smaller. This operates as discouragment
to raising good hens, and as premium on
poor ones. .fejH
Awriter i'm the Canada Farmer insists that
eggs should be sold by the pound as well as
meat and butter, and gives the difference in
the average weight Of dozen eggs from diff
ferent breeds of fowls, as follows:
Common fowls. .............,-1 lb. 6 OF
Spanish. ID. ~ OF
Grsy Dorking. g.-..,-.....--1 10. 1O OF
Gray DorkiDg and Brahma. i ID. IA OF
Gray Dorking and Cochin. .....1 ID. l54 OF
These are the difference in the average
weight from different breeds. Should we
compare the poorest specimens of the poorest
breeds with the best specimens Of the bes t
we would fad differences IalIy one-hal
and yet all are sold at the same price. q. We
buy aud sell nothing at so loose an adjust
meut-of quantity to price as eggs, e1ceP'
when we buy wood by the load. Even ap-
Piles and peaches, when sold BY number, have
the price adjusted to the sizs. But big ol
little, an egg 10 an egg.-Wisconsin Farmer

GHosr SToRY.--Sir Wrlter Scott used 70
tell, with much zest, story Of a man, who
tried to frighten his friend by encount tering
him at midnight on lonely spot " which was
supposed TO be the resort of aghostly visi-
tant. He took his seat on the haunted stone
wrapped in long white sheet. Presently,
TO his horror, the real ghost appeared and sat
down beside him, with the ominous ejacula-
ton; "You are ghost and am ghost,
let us come closer and closer together :" and
closer and closer the ghost pressed, till the
sham ghost overcome with terror, tainted
away. This, we fear, is the fate which awaits
the Ritualst imitators OF the Church OF
Rome. That mighty ghost-"the ghost OF
the deceased Roman Empire" the ;ghost Of
the dead Middle Ages will press closer and
closer to our poor dressed-up ghost, till the
greater absorbs the lesser, or depriyes IL By
mere juxtaposition, Of any true spiritual
life.
