How to Take Out Ink Stains.

IT is certainly very much worth while
to know how to take ink spots out of
col0red clothing. The writer, "on 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
bottle of ink into her lap, over a 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-hot, that it might take effect sooner.
Care was taken to dip only the spots into
this liquid (there are some people sc stu
pid they will need to be told to do this
and in 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 ofammonia,
which changed the skirt to its original
color, and the dress was as good as ever.
Henceforth l 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.--Erchdnge.

Rejuyenating Old Horses.

If horse has been reduced by over
driving, hard treatment and stinted al
lowance of feed, so that he has become
poor, dispirited and hide bound, it will be
an easy task, in most instances, to restore
him to good condition by adopting ju-
dicious course of feeding In the first
place, provide q spacious box stall, in
which ne can turn around without doub-
ling his neck and body together. If he
can have the advantage of yard during
the day, all the better. He may be re-
quired to labor every day, if ne be han
died carefully. Gentle driving and the
right kind of feeding will be one of the
best means employed to develop muscle
and put on the flesh Every day the horse
should have at least four quarts of carrots
or turnips, Or roots Of some kind, in addi-
ton to three liberal feelings of cut-feed
and meal Meal composed OF one part
oats, one of rye or wheat, and third part
of Indian corn, will make excellent feed
for such purpose. A quart of oil meal,
mingled with the grain, will be an i'm
provement in the feed. Compelling q
horse to eat too much straw with the meal
will be very detrimental. The better way
will be to employ only q few quarts OF
cut-straw with the meal. Then, if the
stomach is not sufficiently distended, let
the animal have access to few pounds OF
hay. Feed him OILY as much as he will
eat up clean in about one hOur.-HcdrM

How to Saw Valuable Timber.

ALL tough timber, when the logs are
being sawed into lumber of any kind.
whether scantliDg, boards or planks, will
spring badly when log is sawed in the
usual manner, by commencing on one side
and working toward the other. In order
to avoid this, it is only necessary to saw
off slab or plank, alternately, from each
side, finishing in the middle of the log.
We will suppose, for example, that log
of tough timber is to be sawed into scant-
ling of uniform sze Let the saving be
done by working from one side of the
log toward the other, and the end of the
scantling will all be of the desired size,
while at the middle some of them will
measure one inch broader than at the ends.
After the log has been spotted, saw off a
slab from one side; then move the log
over and cut a similar slab from the oppo-
site side. Let calculations be made by
measuring before the second slab is cut
off, so that there will be just as many cuts,
no more and no less, allowing for the kerf
of every cut If the log is to be cut into
three-inch scantling, for example, saw o
three-inch plank from each side, until
there is piece six and quarter inches
thick left at the middle. The kerr OF the
saw will remove about one-fourth of an
inch. When timber-log is sawed in this
way, the cuts will be of uniform thick
ness from end to end Now turn the log
down, and saw the cuts the other way in
the same manner, and the scantling will
not only be straight, but of uniform size
from one end TO the other, if the saw be
started coTrectly-Hearth and Home.

III. G'S. Manuscript.

HORACE GREELEY's manuscript is no.
toriously bad, and it is said to require q
printer Ofno ordinary skill to set up his copy
If he happens to write in a hurry. The
recent newspaper anecdote of an article
headed William ii. Seward" which Mr..
Greeley had returned to him set up

all; but an occurrence still more funny
is related which happened in the Tribune
office, some years since.

1t irritated him to such degree that he
wrote the typo letter, discharging him
from further duty. The compositor being
unable to decipher the contents of the note
on receiving it, took it to the foreman,
who explained to him that it expressed
that he was "not a careful man and MIR.
Greeley dispensed with his services" The
man laid down his stick, put on his coat
and left. The next day he applied for q
situation as saskatchewan in large

proprietor inquired if he could bring a
recommendation from his last employer.
All [ have is this letter from Mr..
Greeley" said the young man, boldly pro.
ducing the document.
The worthy job printer scanned it some
moments with a Perplexed air. "H-m-

two years afterward that the "letter from

A MalarIOus Month.

March, that gives us new President, IL also the
inaugural month of many harrassing disorders.
Entangled in its fogs are the seeds of coughs,
colds, and of that alienation of frigidity and
fire, more widely known than admired. called
fever and ague. The only way to avoid these
:" little unpleasantnesses," is TO render the sys-
tenn strong enough to fight off the atmospheric
poison that produces them, and the best way to
endow it with this repellent power is to tone it
with HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS.
III a wayfarer were credibly informed that ruff

to his destination. With just about the same
amount of trouble, the attacks of diseases preva-
bic will be less for drug stores lie in every one
route, and every respectable druggist in the Union
keeps on hand HOSTETTER'S BITTERS. The
article is staple of trade, and it wOuld be easy
to find grocery without sugar as the store of an
apothecary without this popular tonic remedy.
In view OF the experience OF the nation with re-
gard to the article, during the space of twenty
years, it seems almost unnecessary to recapitu-
late its merits to Americans. But as our popula-
tion is increasing at the rate of n couple of mil

ton, 1t may be well to hint to the rising gene

Of future events from the appearance of

on the leaves of species of oak that is
very common in Asia Minor. They are
about the size of a schoolboy's marble

externally. Each one is the home and
food of a single insect. The most valu
able are those that contain the worm, and
which are called the blue, green, or black
gals. When the worm has completed its
Transformation and emerged as fly, they
are called white gals, and are not nearly

Calls and Their Origin.

"GALLs," as all unnatural growths on
trees or plants caused by insects are
termed, are found on almost every de-
scription of vegetable production, or all
parts, such as root, stem, twig, leaf, and
even tendril, and of every conceivable
shape, size and color. Each species of
gall, however, is as a rule confined to a
distinct species of plant, though some
plants are attacked by very large num-
Der of different kinds; on the various
kinds of oaks on this continent, for in
stance, Baron Osten Sacken enumerates
the discovery of about sixty species of
gals, and Mr.. Walsh has considerably in
creased the number. The great majority
of gals are produced by insects of the
came family and order as that mentioned
above. Some are made by saw-flies, some
by small moths, some by plant-lice, and
others by gall-gnats, which are two
winged mosquito like insects, and of
which the wheat JOINTLY is not an unfa-
mlliar instance. In most cases, the female
insect punctures the plant, and deposits in
the cavity one or more eggs, together
with drop of poison; this produces a
swelling of the infected part, inside of
which the egg matches out, and the larva
feeds on the vegetable tissues till it is
ready to come out as perfect fly. In the
case OF the plant-lice, the mother insect,
as well as her children, inhabits the gall,
and brings up an enormously numerous
family in the circumscribed area of often
times less than that of a pea, far outdoing
in this way the exploits, celebrated In
nursery and rhyme, of the "old woman
who lived in SHOE"
The so called oak-apple is a familiar in
stance of an ordinary gall. OF some
what similar character are the apples of
Sodom, or Dead Sea fruit, often mention
ed by ancient as we'll as modern travellers,
and described as beautiful to the eye, but
as filling the mouth with bitter ashes If
tasted. Until recent times they were
considered very mysterious objects, but
modern entomologists have discovered
that they are actually oak gals, 1.-TWO
inches long and an inch and half in d.
ameter, of beautiful rich glossy pur-
plish red, exteriorly, and filled with an in
tensely bitter, porous, and easily pulver-
lied substance, surrounding the insect
(Cyniys inspna Wested) which has given
birth to them. The presence of live in
sect inside gall that had no visible inlet
or outlet, was great puzzle to the phi

There he lay in the sweet pool, the pic

tumble in field of the catnip herb. All
at once Mr.. Bear became sick at the stom-
ach and it was a new sensation to him
something he had never felt before. AS
he grew worse, he thought of his master
and mistress, and so crept up stairs to ask
for their consolation ; but they had not
returned from church. Then he crawled
up another story, and got into the girls
bed, drawing the snowy white sheets over
his besmeared form. There he lay groan-
ing and grnnting the sickest bear ever
seen in that part of the country.
When the girls arrived they were horri
fed at the scene, and were going to lay
