How to Take Out Ink Stains.

IT is certainly very much worth while
to know how to take ink spots out OF
colored clothing. The writer, ION sum-
mer's day." when it seemed as if one had
enough to do to support life without extra
trouble in the torrid heat, once upset a
bottle of ink into her lap, over linen
dress, striped with brown and white, and
trimmed with many rows Of brown braid.
Aghast, the first thought was that the
dress was ruined: the second was to dip
the skirt at once into warm water, rinsing
as much ink out as possible, but what was
left made rueful sight-hand breadths of
doleful thunder-dark color, over the light
summer dress. Quick, it was again
plunged into warm solution of oxalic
acid-lot, that it might take effect sooner.
Care was taken to dip only the spots into
this liquid (there are some people SO stu
pid they will need to be told to do this,)
and in a minute they faded, of course,
taking the color of the stripes with them.
The linen was rinsed in warm water
again, and wet with dilution OF ammonia,
which changed the skirt to its original
color, aud the dress was as good as ever.
Henceforth I keep high and sublime
courage over all ink mishaps, sure that
acid and ammonia and care will make all
right again. The process must be gone
through as quickly as possible, when once
begun, but it will cancel old ink stains on
wool cotton or linen,--ErchG7lge

Whipping Oxen.

1T is cruel and generally useless act Of
barbarism to whip oxen; yet many farm
ers are in the habit of continually keeping
the whip going when teaming their cattle.
Instead of inviting the animals to exertion
by proper words, the first intimation the
poor creatures have from their master
that he desires them to start, is q cut OF
the whip or prick from goad. This is
not only savage, but absolutely wicked,
and wholly unnecessary. Another prac-
tice often seen is that of pounding and
threshing the oxen because they don't
readily back load, when they have not
been learned to back an empty cart down
hill. l have no doubt that the selling
value of many yoke of oxen is depre-
ciated from $50 to $75, by being abused
in this way. If animals are desired to
work, they must first be learned to work,
and when they understand what is wanted
of them they will cheerfully comply. But
there is better way to communicate
your desires than through the whip.
Kindness and skillful management is far
better. Remember that "a merciful man
is merciful to his bea t"-Erc7auge.

Girls Should Learn to Keep House.

No YOUNG lady can be too well in
structed in anything which will affect the
comfort of family. Whatever position
in society she occupies, she eds prac-
teal knowledge of household duties. She
may be placed in such circumstances that
it will not be necessary for her to perform
much domestic labor; but on this account
she needs no less knowledge than if she
was obliged to preside personally over the
cooking stove and pantry. Indeed, have
thought it was more difficult to direct
others, and requires more experience, than
to do the same work with our own hands.
Mothers are frequently so nice and par
ticular that they do not like to give up.
any part of the care of their children.
This is a great mistake in their manage
ment, for they are often burdened with
labor and need relief Children should
be early taught to make themselves use
full; to assist their parents every way in
their power, and to consider it q privilege
to do so.
Young people cannot realize the i'm
portance Of thorough knowledge of
housewifery; but those who have suffered
the inconvenience and modification of
ignorance can well appreciate it. Chill
drep should be early INDUCED in their
disposition to bake and experiment in
various ways 1t is often but a trouble
some help that they afford; still it is
great advantage to them. I know a
little girl who at nine years old made
loaf of bread every week during the
winter. Her mother taught her how
much yeast, salt and -four to use, and
she became quite an expert baker. When
ever she is disposed to try her skill in
making simple cakes or pies, she is per
mitted to do SO. She is thus, while
amusing herself, learning an important
lesson. Her mother calls her little house
keeper, and often permits her to get what
is necessary for the table. She hangs the
keys by her side, and very musical is the
iingling to her ears. think before she is
out of her teens, upon which she has not
yet entered, that she will have some idea
how to cook,
Some mothers give their daughters the
care of housekeeping, each week by
turns. It seems to me good arrange
ment and a most useful part OF their edu'
cation. Domestic labor is by no means
incompatible with the highest degree of
refinement and mental culture. Many OF
the most elegant, accomplished women L
have known have looked well to their
household duties, and have honored them
selves and their husbands by so doing.
Economy, taste, skill in cooking, and
neatness of the kitchen, have great deal
to do in making life happy and prosper
GUS. The charm of good housekeeping is
in order, economy and taste displayed in
attention to little things; and these things
have a wonderful influence. A dirty
kitchen and bad cooking have driven
many a one from home to seek comfort
and happiness somewhere else. None OF
our excellent girls are fit to be married
until they are thoroughly educated in
the deep and profound mysteries of the
kitchen.-P Presbyterian.

Paper Houses.

Passing along the street the other day
the writer's curiosity was excited by see.
ing small house on the sidewalk. Was
it model of some famous mans domicil,
or had it been used in political process
sion, or figured at County or State Fair !
Or was it put there as sample Of how
houses should be built? On examination,
the writer found that the roof, sides and
floor were covered with compacted paper
or pasteboard, saturated with tar and i'm
pervious to air and water, and non con-
ductor Of heat and cold, making it cool in
summer and warm In winter, and pro
tecting the house against vermin. 1t is
put on the studs without sheathing boards,
or on the sheathing boards before clap
boarding, or on the inside of the studs be-
fore lathing, or on the lath, and papered
instead of plastering, like any wall, on the
joists under the foors-to keep out cold
and noise-and on roofs, under shingles or
states, or instead of felt for gravel roof.
And it is so cheap that house % feet by
so, and 20 feet high, can be covered with
it, and made sir and water tight, and as
warm as q brick house, for about twenty
five dollars. .-
The paper can be used before saturation
for the inside of rooms instead of plaster,
and be papered or whitewashed. This
material is being very generally used, the

CHICAGO, Feb. IS, 1869.
To tie chicago Board of Underwriters:
GENTLEMEN: The undersigned, your commit
tee chosen to- witness and direct the test
trial of the G New Babcock Patent Fire Extin-
guisher,'' report: The test of the Extinguisher
was severe. A pyramid of tar barrels with shay
ings saturated with coal oil, was permitted to
burn in a strong wind until the flames had
reached an intensity and volume apparently be-
yond the control of score of such extingushers.
In less than three minutes the pyramid stood a
charred mass and the fire completely extin-
gushed, with only three-fourths of the charge of
one extinguisher.
Similar results followed the burning of pile
of dry goods boxes.
One noticeable fact your committee desire to
give prominence to was the difficulty experienced
in re. kindling both the tar barrels and boxes.
This we deem an important and valuable feature
of the Extinguisher.
we heartily recommend the general introduction
of this simple and powerful machine into build.
ings of every kind, believing its will largely
diminish losses by fire, and thus prove a great
public utility.
It is further the deliberate opinion of your
committee that its general use should be encour
aged by some properly restricted plan of re-
ducing rates ofinsurance where the extinguisherc
are introduced and subject to the control o.
watchmen employed on the premises.

Precautions against Injurious Insects.

THE insect enemies of the fruit crop
are multiplying so fast. notwithstanding
all that has been written about their habits
and the best modes of destroying them,
that the greatest vigilance will be neces-
sary in order to check their ravages. The
cecoons of the apple-worm moth may now
be found in the crevices of the bark of
those trees on which the worms have been
most destructive, Scraping and washing
the bark, and digging into the cocoons,
are good means of checking the increase
of this troublesome insect. If borers have
penetrated the wood at the base of the
apple or peach tree, they should be dug
out and bandages of some kind placed
around the collars to prevent the parent
moth, from depositing its eggs on the bark
in summer Lime or ashes placed around
the trees outside the bandage will be an
additional protection Western Rural.

How Candies are Made.

WOULDN'T you like to go with me to
that mysterious land Ut sweets, where all
the candy comes from?
suppose you imagine it to be some ex.
quisite, fairy-like place, where little elves
measure, conc0ct, mix, stir up and roll out
the various kinds of bon-bons which you
buy in nice boxes. No such thing on the
contrary, it is q commonplace-lOO king
brown building that shall take you into.
And instead of fairies, you will see big
men with their sleeves rolled up, working
in huge cellars, before immense furnaces,
where the delicious sweets are melted and
mixed.
Think of seeing a brawny-armed man
rolling "chunk" of soft candy into a
stick, two or three feet long, ornamenting
it with stripes of different colored candy,
and at last cutting it into lengths to sell
for penny.
1t is wonderful how much work is ex-
pended on little things. Gum drops and
cordial drops of various kinds are all
formed in moulds. Perhaps you have
wondered how the delicious drop of pear
or pine, apple essence gets into the center
of a cordial drop 1t is thus When the
sugar is beautiful, clear liquid, like water,
aud ready to come up, they mix with it
some of the essence, and pour it into the
moulds. The sugar at once crytallizes be-
comes hard and white; the essence does
not crystalize, but remains in the middle
of the sugar crystal.
Flat candies, like hearts, crosses, &C.,
are cut out of thin sugar dough, as you
have seen biscuit cut from flour dough.
Some kinds are pressed into shape by roll
ers with figures or words on them, which
figures of course are impressed upon the
candy. -. .t-...
1t takes many men to make the candies
that are sold in this one building, and it
takes thirty five girls to sell them. You
would fancy that a good many choice
sweets would lind their way between the
lips of these thirty-f1ve girls; bnt their
employer is a wise man, and he takes pains
to cure his clerks of that desire, the first
thing. This is how he does it. When q
new clerk comes to him, he gives her cor
dial leave to eat as much as she wishes.
Well, girls are all fond of sweets, and the
new hand is sure to stuff herself to such
an extent as to make herself sick; and
after that day she wants no more candy.
Girls sometimes remain five or six years
in the house. and never. tasted a sugar.

has been proved by years of experience.
In Paris, where the most delightful bon
