DISEASE OF IMPRUDENCE.

When the misguided and in2rndcnt votary o
pleasure finds that he has imbbcd the seeds OF
this painful disease, it too often happens that an
il-tirne sense of shame or dread ni discovery DC
ters him fromapplyIng to those who, from cduca-
ton and rcspcctabllity, can alone bcirIcnd him,
DELAYING till tho constitutional symptoms Of this
ho,rid disease makes their appearance, such as
liberated sore throat diseased noso, nocturnal
pains in the head and limbs, dinncss Of sight
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotche5 on the head, face and cXtrr'nitIrS, pro-
crossing with trighttul rapidity, Till ut last the
oalatc of the mouth or the bones of tho
nose fall in and the victim Of this awful disease
becomes II horrid object of conmsScration till
death puts Il period to his dreadful suffering, by
sending him to that undiscovered country from
whence no traveller returns"
1t is Il melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims To this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands Of ignorant or un-kI kI!itl Ikt-
TENDERS, who, by the use "t that deadly
Poison, Mercury, &c, destroy the constitution,
and g" emTm nmiE ng hG si their iS nnrSus s"
Injurious compounds and instead OF being re
stored TO a renewal Of Life, Nig"rand Happiness
in DESPAIR leave him with ruined Health to sigh
over his CALLING disappointment

Swedish Women.

When the ladies of the United
States, who are battling so energet-
ically for the rights that the ty-
rant man continues to deprive them
of, are weary with the warfare and
desire n brief season of peace and
tranquility, they cannot select a
more soothing picture for contem-
plation than that presented by the
Kingdom of Sweden. 1t is true that
the fair Swedes have not made much
noise in the world, and are lament
ably destitute of Revolutions, suf-
frage organizations, feminine as
pirants for high elective offices, and
many other things that here are re-
garded as of vital Importance; but
at the same time, they have achieved
very much in their own behalf.
Quietly, but surely they are gaining
admission into nearly all the walks
Of commercial and professional life.
They are to be found in large num-
bers, not only in the stores and of
fees, but in the banking houses and
postal and telegraph departments.
At Gottenburg, medical college,
with which is connected q full course
of clinical and anatomical lectures
has been established for the exclu-
sive use of females over II years of
age, while at the national capital in
stitutions have been inaugurated for
the education of those ambitious
representatives of the fair sex who
desire to practice law or preach the
Gospel.

To Clean Kid Gloves.

Have ready a little new milk in
one saucer, piece of white soap in
another, clean cloth folded two or
three times. On the cloth lay out
the glove smooth and neat. Take a
piece of flannel, dip it in the milk,
then rub off good quantity of soap
on the wetted flannel, and commence
to rub the glove towards the fingers,
holding it firmly with the left hand.
Continue this process until the glove,
if white, looks of a dingy yellow,
though clean; if colored, till it looks
dry and spoiled. Lay it to dry, and
the operator will soon be gratified to
see that the old glove looks nearly
new. 1t will be soft, glossy, smooht
and elastic -l-

Coating for Outside Walls.

The following coating for rough
brick walls is used for painting
ighthouses,an it effectually pre-
vents moisture from striking
through: Take of fresh Rosen-
dale cement three parts, and of
clean, fine sand one part; mix
with fresh water thoroughly.
This gives a gray or granite col
or, dark or light,according to the
color of the cement. If brick
color is DESIRED add enough Ven
etian red to the mixture to pro-
duce the color. If a very light
color is desired, lime may be used
with the cement and sand. Care
must be taken to have all the in
gradients well mixed together.
In applying the wash the wall
must be wet with clean fresh
water; then follow Immediately
with the cement wash. This pre-
vents the bricks from absorbing
the water from the wash too rap
idly, and gives time for the ce-
ment to set. The wash must be
we'll stirred during the applica-
ton. The mixture is to be made
as thick as can be applied
conveniently with a whitewash
brush. 1t is admirably suited for
brickwork, fences, ETC., but it can
not be used to advantage over
paint or whitewash.

Spontaneous Combustion.

Many fires ascribed to incendi-
arism have owed their origin to
spontaneous combustion. Such
combustion differs from ordinary
burning only in that the union OF
the combustible substance with the
oxygen of the air is more gradual.
When q log of wood rots in the for
est, it is really burned up as when
it blazes in the fireplace, only the
process is so slow that the heat is
not perceptible. The rusting of
metals is another form of slow com
bustion, and if the rusting is suffi-
GENTLY rapid, the rise of tempera-
ture is readily detected. In infam-
mable substances, when slow COM
bustion begins, the heat set free
causes the oxidation to go on faster
and faster, until the mass bursts in
to flame. Oily rags used by paint
ers, and cotton waste used for wiping
machinery, are common causes of
spontaneous combustion. Oil split
on dry saw-dust has been known to
take fire in this way. Oils that oxi-
dize readily, like cotton-seed oil, are
especially liable to take fire without
apparent cause. Hay, cotton, tow,
flax, hemp, rags, leaves, spent tow,
straw in manure heaps, all are liable
to take fire spontaneously when
stacked in quantities in damp
state. These are facts which every
one should understand, as the
knowledge of them may, in many
instances, lead to prec aution of the
utmost Importance. --r

Manufacturing Nails.

An English inventor has taken
out a patent for a new method, Of
making nails. From his specification
we learn that the method is substan-
TALLY as follows: The inventor forms
fiat bars or strips of wrought iron
in the ordinary way, and by the use
of machinery. While the bars OF
strips of iron are still hot, he pass
es them between a pair of shaping
rolls. Onesof these rolls is plain
cylinder, and the other roll has the
general figure of a cylinder with a
series of incllnes or steps made on
its cylindrical surface, the said in
clines or steps of the roll having
such conformation that the bar roll
between them and the plain cylinder
roll has in longitudinal section the
figure of series of headless nails
Joined together shank TO point.
While still hot, the shaped bar or
strip is slit into nail rods by a series
Of circular slitters, the whole bar be-
ing simultaneously slit up by the
said slitters into nail rods. These
nail rods when cold are fed into
heading machine, by which the nails
are headed and cut off from the nail
rod. The heading and cutting ma
chine which he employs differs in no
essential respectfrom other machines
commonly used for the heading and
and cutting off nails. -.-0

Household Uses of Borax.

A late number of the Manufac-
turer and Builder says that powder
ed borax placed in their way is sure
death to cockroaches, with the adj
vantage over other exterminators of
being non-poisonous to other forms
oflife about the house. 1t is also
valuable as washing powder, be-
ing much used in Holland and Bel
gium in the proportion of a large
handful of the powder to ten gallons
of water. 1t makes the clothes look
very white and clean, and saves one
half the soap. For laces, cambries,
ETC., an extra quality is required.
Being a neutral salt, it does not in
jure the quality of the linen. 1t is
said to soften the hardest water; is
a valuable agent for cleansing the
scalp, and is also an excellent dent
ifrice. In hot countries it is used
in combination with tartaric acidand
of soda as cooling bev-
erage.

Courting in Church.

young gentleman, happened
to sit at church in a pew adjoin-
ing one in which was a young
lady, for whom he conceived a
sudden and violent passion, and
felt desirous of entering into a
courtship on the spot, but the
place not suiting a formal decla-
ration, the exigency suggested
the following plan: He politely
handed his neighbor a bible, e,open.
with a pin stuck in the following
verse: Second Epistle of John,
verse 7th-'And now l beseech
you, lady, not as though l wrote
a new commandment unto you,
but that which we had from the
beginning, that we love one an
other She returned it with the
following: Second chapter OF
Ruth, 10th verse-sThen she fell
on her face, and bowed herself
to the ground, and said unto him
why have l grace in thine eyes,
that thou should'st take notice
of me, seeing that l am a stran-
gern He returned the book,
pointing to the twelfth verse of
the Third Epistle of John-'Hav-
ing many things to write with
paper and ink, but l trust to
come unto you, and speak face
to face From the above inter
view the marriage took place the
following week.
