How to Pay the National Debt.

A correspondent of the Oregonian,
signing himself D. +. Schnebly, proposes
to pay the national debt in the following
manner. He says the idea was first sug-
gested by a writer in the Montana Post
Let every man, woman and child in
the nation, so disposed, contribute, ac-
cording to their means, greenback,
(from FIVE cents up), form in procession
on the 4th day of July, march to bon
fire and burn them up. The press could
print numbers corresponding to the
amount burned. They could be depos-
tied in a box and passed over to the Gov
ernment. Ascertaining the amount de-
stroyed, the government could then issue
new notes in the place of those destroyed,
and the new issue could go towards pay
ing the old debt, thereby preventing any
shock in money circles. [ think four
years would wipe out the debt and place
US in good circumstances as nation.
Mr.. S. further says: GAS to my earn
estness in this regard I will pay SO out
of my slender means, and have wife
and four children, for each of which I
will pledge, in addition, one dollar, max
ing, in all, SIS. This would set at
naught all the schemes of reputation
and dishonor, and would relieve the peo-
pie at once of the heavy burthen.p

When TO Cut Timber.

Opinions vary in regard to time of cut
ting timber to make it most durable. 1t is
generally conceded, however, that summer
months are best, some advocating June,
while the tree is in full vigor, and others
later in the season. \ writer in the Rurnl
World gives his views based upon expert
mcnt thus,
Il have worked in timber, and experiment.
ed as to the best time to cut it to make it
last we'll; and by actual observation have
come to the conclusion that from the 18th
of August to the 18th of September is the
best time in the year. Timber cut then,
worms will not enter. The bark will re-
main on for about twelve months and then
when removed, fall off of itself, without
any trouble. But my brother farmers will
say the season then is too hot to labor in
the timber Admitted; that one tree cut
then is worth three cut in the winter; and
if person can only cut his timber down
at this time he is not necessitated to then
work it up, but can let it lie till the winter
following, and it will do as well as being
worked at the time when cut-and at his
leisure, if it is two years after, he can work
it up.
"lIickory timber cut at that time makes
good rails, that will last nearly as well as
oak. But unfortunately for our farmers,
they are under the necessity Cor do III of
cutting all or most of their timber in the
winter months, and timber will decay cut
than in any other month in the year

Bones for Fruit.TreeS.

Bones collect in considerable quantities
about every household, and in Villages
many have no use for them. They may be
had for the gathering oftentimes, or for a
small consideration. \ trec-planter can
make no better investment of a few dollars
than TO purchase these old bones, and after
crushing them into inch pieces, put bush
or two into each border where tree is set.
They are also an excellent dressing for
trees already planted, and may be dug in
around the roots. Old trees that have be-
come stunted and unfruitful are often start
ed into new growth and fruitfulness by this
means 1t sometimes remedies the crack
ing of pears. All the bones about the
premises should be saved for the fruit
trees.-THe LoHiculturia.
THE bones should be finer than inch
pieces. If the pieces are the size of grains
of Indian corn it would be much better,
and they should be dug in as far as the
roots extend.-Germanto'c Telegraph.

SeasOnable Hints.

The oil of pennyroyal will keep mosqui-
toes out of Il room, when scattered about,
even in small quantities.
The bleeding of a wound caused by a
knife or any other sharp instrument, can
be Immediately stopped by applying flour
and lint,
The juice Of an onion and little salt
will subduc the pain and inflammation caused
by the stihg of a bee.
To relieve from the terrible effects ofrun-
ming a nail in the foot of person or horse,
take peach leaves, bruise them, apply to
the wound, confine with a bandage, and the
cure is as if by magic. Renew the applica-
ton twice day, if necessary; but one ap-
plication usually does the work. This has
cured both man and beast in a few hours
when they were apparently on the point of
having the lock jaw. This recipe, remem-
bered and practiced, will save many valua-
BILE lives.

How TO REMOVE INK-STAINs.-A cores
pondent sends us the following recipe for
removing ink-stans:
'When the stain is fresh and wet, has
ten to provide some cold water, an empty
cup and a spoon. Pour little of the wa
ter on the stain, not having touched it pre-
viously with anything. The water, of
course, dilutes the ink and lessons the
mark then ladle it up into an empty cup.
Continue pouring the clean water on the
stain and ladling it up, until there is not
the slightest mark left. No matter how
great the quantity of ink split, patience
and perseverance will remove every indica-
ton of it. To remove dry ink-stain, dip
the part stained in hot milk and gently rub
it; repeat until no sign is left. This is an
unfailing remedy "-Ib5
