Babies Linen,

An eminent physician. in Hearth
and Home, contributes the following
exquisite, article for the benefit of
young mothers. 1t is the richest
gem we have culled for some time.
He says:
An intelligent young mother in
quired some days since how she could
best preserve her child's linen clean
and sweet when changed frequently
during the day. / directed her never
10 dry it by the fire, but in the sun
and open air if the weather permit
ted. You thus not only avoid satu-
rating the air Of your rooms with the
volatile and poisonous gasses driven
out of the linen, but the suns rays
have powers of cleansing and disin-
fecting, which artificial heat has not,
and will purify and preserve the
linen. She followed my directions,
but, as is too often the practice, dri
ed and aired it in the nursery win
dow. Her fastidious husband remon-
strated in vain against this unseemly
exposu re. Believing that if she saw
her practice as others saw it, she
would desist, he go directed their
afternoon walk as to bring the nurs-
ery-window into full view from a
central part of the town. Stopping
abruptly, he pointed to the offending
linen tapping conspicuously in the
breeze, and asked sarcastically:-
my dear, what is that displayed
from our window ?" "Why," she
proudly replied, "that is the flag of
our Union :" Conquered by this
pungent retort, he saluted the flag
with a swing of his hat, and pressing
his wife's arm closer within his own,
sang, as they walked homeward:

Another Ocean Mystery.

The steamship United Kingdom,
as most of our readers are now aware,
sailed from the port of New York,
for Glasgow, On the 10Th OF April
last. She had fair cargo on board,
and a goodIy number of passengers.
On the Goth, the day after she sailed,
she was spoken some one hundred
and fifty miles from Sandy Hook
1t is supposed by some that she was
seen on May 4, about five hundred
miles from New York. This is all
that we know of the United King.
dom since she last left her harbor in
these waters. 1t is now a long time
since April 10. April is gone; May
and June have followed, and now
we have entered upon July; but the
fate of the United Kingdom is still
unknown. That she has perished
with all on board it is now reasonable
to conclude; but from what cause,
or in what circumstances, we are lett
to conjecture. On the 26th of April,
six days after the United Kingdom
sailed, the City of Paris arrived in
this port and reported icebergs and
heavy gales in the neighborhood of
Cape Race. 1t is possible that the
United Kingdom perished amid these
gales, and probably from collision
with an iceberg. 1t is hard TO give
up hope, but we are not left any
foundation on which longer to lean.
Like the Hibernia, of painful memo
ry, the United Kingdom has no
doubt gone down; but, unlike the
Hlbernia, has, in all probability, car
ried with her her entire living freight.
It is in fact another terrible sea
tragedy-alI the more terrible, in
truth, that no one has survived to
tell the tale.-,ScOaish- american ] our

How to Get Rid of Rats,

The Prairie Farmer furnishes this
remedy, which looks very much if it
would do its work:
ssThe best method we have ever
tried for killing rats, is to poison
them by means of phosphorus. Dis
solve half an ounce of phosphorus
in two quarts of hot water and stir
in sufficient Indian meal to make
paste the consistency of chicken
dough. II the phosphorus takes
fire in stirring, add more water
Add to this butter or lard and sugar;
enough of each to make it palata-
BILE mass, and place it in small guam
titles on pieces of board or shingles
where the rats will have access to it.
Hens must be shut up while you are
feeding rats on this food, and the
phosphorus should be dissolved out
of doors, and great care be taken
with the experiment as the substance
is very infammable unless diluted as
in this paste Prepared as spoken
of it is slightly luminous and will
sttract the rats at night and they
will eat it readily.'

Cultivation of the Peach.

Mp. Hedges. of Erle county, N.
Y. writes to the Horticalltarist to
state that himself and his neighbor
have succeeded in raising good crops
of peaches about every other year,
and that too in places where there
are no large bodies of water and not
much forest protection.
Trees twenty, thirty, and some
times forty years old, standing per-
haps in exposed aspects, bear fair
crops, while the more recently plant
ed trees, unless thoroughly protected,
seldom bear fair crops of fruit.
He thinks the bearicg principle in
most of the old varieties has been
injured by budding from young trees
The old Early York and Crawford
that used 20 be excellent bearers are
SO no longer, snd many other old
sorts, although they live in favored
localities, refuse to bear full crops
One great cause of failure is that
the trees are not of the right kind
They have been produced from lat.
Southern pits, and are of rampant
growth, not satisfied with the length
of our summer.
One of his neighbors planted peacf
trees five times and five times were
they frozen to death, root and branch
while some old trees in the same
orchard lived and bore well. A
hardy tree is worth more to the peach
grower than all the protection which
trees can get. Early ripening car
not be produced, to any great extent
by summer pruning. Shortening-ir
may make the tree stouter and less
liable to break down with snow ol
ice, but it will not make it harder
or cause the fruit to ripen earlier.

Farmers Work Too Much.

So says q correspondent in that
staunch agricultural journal, the Neso
Easland Farmer. He gives these
among other reasons:
sIt is said that more than one
fourth of the lunatics of the country
are farmers and merchants, and
among the reasons assigned for crazy
farmers, are too much work and too
little recreation. Now what is the
remedy for this deplorable state of
things? For my own part / was slow
to believe the above statement as
applicable to us here in New Eng
land, Notwithstanding our farmers
are supposed to be the hardest work
ing agriculturists of. any in the
county. But / know Of many who
work too hard their real interests,
though their keen Yankee sense
seems bright and sharp as ever. The
motto of these men is, 'better to
wear out than rust OUT So it is;
what need of doing either? There
is no real virtue in too much work.
On the contrary, is it not a sin for
one to tax unduly the strength and
energy of a body so searfully and
wonderfully made"

To Prevent Guns from Rusting.

The Field. Turf and Farm cor
rectly says:
"A true sportsman, like a good
soldier, should always be prepared
for inspection. and keep his weapons
in condition for immediate service
On his return from days shooting,
before he lies down to rest, he sho'd
see that his gun is fit for service on
the morrow. At the end of the
shooting season it is much more i'm
portant that this should be done at
once, else it may be forgotten, and q
favorite and valuable weapon injured
beyond repair by silent corrosion.-
To prevent this, here is preparation
which we have used for years and
which we know to be good: Twenty
ounces best olive oil, one ounce and
half spirits of turpentine. This
should be rubbed on the gun barrels,
outside and in, with q rag; leave all
that adheres to the barrel and put
the gun away until wanted. Do this
and you may bid defiance to rust.''

Money! In California.

"a. ID. Richardson in the New York Tribune.l
There was o prevalent impression
that the moment the last rail was
laid, immigrants and spectators with
pockets full of money would pour
into California to buy land. As yet,
no such movement has begun, and
disappointment is felt. Still, though
city lots, improved farms, and wild
lands have advanced from one hun
dred to .foe hundred per cent. within
the last two years, the new values
hold their own firmly. And q peo
pie cannot be very 'hsrd up" whose
smallest coin is ten cents, and who
count that as twelve and a half to

shilling of New York. Eight bits
pass tor a dollar. The morning
newspaper costs bit; nothing sells

seen; change is very loosely COM

A Story for Moderate Drinkers,

An old friend of the late Judge
Fletcher, of Boston, related to the
writer, many years ago, the following
characteristic anecdote Mr.. Fletch-
er, when a young man, boarded in
the old Exchange coffee house.
Without much consideration, he had
fallen in with the drinking fashion of
the day, SO far as to have glass of
spirits and water brought to his
room every night to be taken on 60
ing to bed, as ga night cap." One
night an unusual press of company
prevented the bar-keeper from carry
ing up Mr.. Fletcher's usual night
dram. The Squire didn't regard it
as quite the thing for him to go to
the bar and get his grog, and so be
went to bed without his "night-cap.n
But to 1leep he could not. All
night long he tumbled about for lack
of his accustomed drink, and as he
did so his active and discriminating
mind worked most diligently. The
fruit of his reflections appeared next
morning, when, on getting up weary
and worn by his hard and restless
night, Mr.. Fletcher went directly to
the bar keeper: "Mr. -, you did
not bring up my brandy and water
last night and, as a consequence, /
have slept little or none all night"
The bar keeper was very sorry
Il
"Not So" rejoined Mr.. Fletcher
"Never bring me another drop of
liquor unless / order it. II it has
come to this that can't sleep with
out the help of tumbler of toddy, it
is high time that l stopped drinking,
and broke up the dangerous habit"
From that day MIR. Fletcher be-
came a thorough going temperance
man. ~iA

Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history OF
medicine has anything won SO widely and so deeply
upon the confidence Of mankind, IS this sSceilens
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through \ a.oag
series of years, and among most OF the races u
men il has risen higher and higher in their estlma-
tiou as it has become better known. Its UNIFORM
character and power to cure the various anecuons
OF the lungs and throat, have made Il known as re-
liable protector against them While adapted 10
milder forms of disease and to young children, Is
at the same time the most eectual remedy tnat can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan
Vision against sudden attacks Of Group. t should
be kent on hand in every family and indeed A. al

Although settled Consumption Is tnougnt m
curable still great numbers OF cases where tne DIS
ease seemed settled, have been compIeteiy cured,
and the pafient restored to sound health by the
(Herrv PecfOrat. So complete Is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee

Bronchifis is generally cured by taking the

So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, or do more
than assure the public that IT'S qualities are fuy
maintained.
