SEAsoNABLE HINTS. IF TaUE.-The oil of
pennyroyal will keep mosquitoes out of a
room, if scattered about, even in small guam
titles. Reaches are extermnated by scatter
ing a handful of fresh cucumber parings
ABOUT the house. No fly will alight on a
window which has been washed with the wa
ter in which little garlic has been boiled.

A CURE FOR EAR-ACHE.-There is scarcely
any ache to which children are subject, so
hard to bear and SO difficult to cure ear
ache But here is a remedy never known
to fail.-Take bit of cotton batting, put
upon it pinch of black pepper, gather it up
and tie it dipit in sweet oil and insert 1T in
the ear Put flannel bandage over the head
to keep it warm. 1t will give immediate re-
lief.
SPRING Rye would like information on
raising spring rye. What kind of soil is
best suited to it? What time to SOW? How
much seed required per acre? and what its
yield compared with winter rye?
If it is profitable crop, wish to substi
tute it for oats they are the most uncertain
grain we raise.
Remarks. is experiment that
should be tried on limited scale 1t is
hardly to be hoped that spring rye can be
successfully grown where oats fail. Even
under the most favorable circumstances, it is
a very different thing from winter rye. Its
Weld of grain is small, and the straw is thin
and scanty.
There is variety called March rye
that it would be best to plant for a trial.
The best soil is very light dry loan,
which the ploughing having been done in
the autumn the seed can be narrowed in
soon as the frost is out of the ground Not
more than two bushels should be sown to
the acre.
USEFUL HINTs-Rich cheese feels soft I'M
der the pressure of the finger. That which
is very strong is neither good to eat nor
healthy To keep one that is cut, tie it in
cloth, put it in a cool, dry place. If mould
appears on it, wipe it off with dry cloth.
Flour and meal of all kinds should be
kept in cool and dry place.
To select nutmeys-prick them with a min
if they are good, the oil will instantly gather
around the puncture.
Keep coffee BY itself, as its odor affects
other articles. Keep tea in close chest or
canister.
Oranges and lemons keep best wrapped
close in soft paper and laid in a drawer of
linen.

One of Nasbr,s Adventures


Some+ime since unite an excitement was
created in certain town in Ohio by the Cir
cumstances attending the expulsion from the
public schoo! OF the daughters of one Lett,
colored man. Lett had but little African
blood. and his daughters were so white that
they could not be distinguished from the
purest Caucasians, and this led to an unucky
blunder. We were not aware that Mr.. Nasty
had anything to do with this affair until we
read his account of it, portion of which we
give below. We may add, as matter OF TACT
that the Lett girls were finally expelled but
the result was the establishment of coored
school in that town:
We reeched and entered the skool house.
The skool marin WIS thare, eZ br te and eZ

ranged on the seets studying as rapidly as
possible.

niger wenches, dorters of one Lett, a niger,
is in this skool, mingling with our dorters
