Fun--A Defamation.

Boys were made to have fun.
What would a boy be good for, if he
had no fun in him? Everybody
likes it; or if they don't they ought
to. "All work and no play makes
Jack dull boy" This is as true as
a jack-knife. 1 said boys were made
for fun, of course they were. Did
you ever see boy that wasn't full
of its From the pegs in his boots
to the hair of his head, he is run
ming over with it. He is as full of
it as boiler is Of steam. Do you
suppose that you can keep all this
hushed up with birch rods and su-
gar plums? l tell you it must come
out. If ever poor bug or fiy, or
anything else was to be pitied, so is
a boy. See him trying to obey the
rules and keep order. 1t is like try
ing to hold in steam engine. Many
a poor boy has tried it and couldn't,
and has had to smart for it. All /
have to say is, 1 wish you were a
boy, and then you would know. But
please have little pity, and don't
scold too hard, and many a brave
boys heart will bless you, and his
lips long speak your praise.

Marrying for Money.

Marrying for money in the ex-
pectation of soon becoming a rich
widow or widower is very uncer
tain speculation. A California cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune
gives an account of a gentleman
formerly in the Spanish army, who
long ago married a widow lady fifty
seven years ofage who was possess
ed of great riches, with a cohsump
tive tendency and no encumbrances
She was much older than the bride
groom, but her prospects for an ex
tended lease of life were very pool
and the mercenary husband con
graduated himself on undivided
possession of her fortune. Bu
alas for the uncertainty of human
hopes! that indomnitable woman
with a consumptive tendency, in de
fiance of all laws of probability
continued to live on until lifty-sev
en- more years had expired, and ha'
only recently departed at the rip'
age of ia,

The use of a long Nose.

The following good story is told
of Mozart at the time when he was
a pupil of Haydn. Haydn had
challenged Mozart to compose a
piece of music which he could not
play at sight. Mozart accepted the
banter,and a champagne supper was
to be'the forfeit.
Everything being arranged between
the two composers, Mozart took his
pen and sheet of paper, and in five
minutes dashed off piece of mu-
sic, and much to the surprise of
Haydn, handed it to him, saying:
There is piece of music which
you can not play, and l can; you are
to give the first trial" Haydn smil
contemptuously at the visionary
presumption of his pupil, and plac-
ing the notes before him struck the
keoes of the instrument. Surpris-
ed at its simplicity, he dashed away
till he reached the middle of the
piece, when, stopping all at once, he
he exclaimed:
"How's this, Mozart? How,s this?
Here my hands are stretched out to
both ends of the piano, yet here is
middle key to be touched. No
body can play such music-not even
the composer himself. Mozart smil-
ed at the half-excited indignation
and perplexity of the great master;
and, taking the seat he had quilted,
struck the instrument with such an
air of self-assurance that Haydn
began to think himself duped. Run
ming along the simple passages, he
came to that part which his teacher
had pronounced impossible to be
played. Mozart,it must be remark
ed, was favored, or at least endowed,
with an extremely long nose. Reach
ing the difficult passage, he stretch
ed both hands to the extreme long
ends of the piano and leaning for
ward, bobbed his nose against the
middle key, which nobody could
play. Haydn burst into an imnod-
crate fit of laughter: and after ac-
kuowledging he was beaten, he de-
clared that Nature had endowed
Mozart with a capacity for music
which he had never discovered.

To Remove Fat and Oil
Stains

Mix ealcined magnesia or carbon
ate of magnesia with water to
paste, and place it on the spot with
brush, Let it dry in a warm place
and remove the drled mass careful
ly with a knife and dry. If neces-
sary repeat the operation tillthe spot
has disappeared. The use of hot
iron on the dried mass hastens the
operation; but it is dangerous, as
it eolors the fat spot brown in some
qualities of paper.
The use of benzole magnesia is
still more active. Take fresh cal
cined magnesia, free from moisture,
and add pure benzole, so that it is
just moist-not sufficiently wet to
flow like thin paste, rather a gran
ular mass, which, by pressure,s shows
some liquid benzole, Keep it in
wide-mouthed bottle ready for use.
This is first rubbed over the oil
spot, which when fresh, will at once
disappear; if old, a new quantity is
pressed on the spot, and left to dry
till the benzole is evaporated, when
the magnesia is cleared away as
above. Material which can bear
moisture may then be cleaned with
water. Delicate material, material,
like silk, is cleaned with alcohol or
other.
With this benzole magnesia fat
spots may be removed from all kind
of wood, ivory, and other delicate
material, so that they look like new.
Paper and parchment may be clean
ed in this way so completely that no
trace of spots remain. If applied
to printed books, the removal of
the fat in printing ink causes the
letters to become somewhat paler.
From all smooth textures, like silk,
the fat may be removed in this way
quite easily, wooden fabrics, however
retain the pulverized magnesia very
tenaciously, so that the greasy spot
becomes changed into awhitish one.
Stone floors, particularly the
brown sand stone very common in
New York, and of which, for in
stance, the stairs and part of the
floors in the Cooper Institute are
constructed, absorb fat very rapidly,
and it always leaves unsightly spots.
We have ourselves removed spots
from these floors with a paste of So
da and quicklime, which was allow
ed to remain on the spots till dry,
and then washed off,
Another way to make the insight
ly oil spots invisible is to oil the
whole floor, whether it be stone or
wood. This was done at the Coop
er Institute, New York, when the
grease spots on the broad stone
stairs became too numerous
they were saturated with boiled lin
seed oil. 1t changed their appear
ance totally, and took an enormous
quantity of oil, but made past and
fure oil spots invisible.-Manufac-
tr and Builder.

A French Story.

The French have story that Sir
Walter Scott once offered his young
est daughter her choice between a
dowry of 100000 francs or Quentin
Durward,' She asked to read the
MSS, took it surreptitiously to a
publisher. found that he would give
her 12O, 900 francs and haughtily and
meekly told her father that she
would rather have the MSS, than
the money. Sir Walter was deeply
touched by this mark of filial devo
tion. The Paris journal which tells
the story, says that French girl
would never have done such thing
as that, she would simply have ia
ken the 100000 francs, and she
would have found some way to get
possession of the romance also.

with me from the hotel had sus-
pected me of evil intentions to
wards themselves, and had decided
that the one who had joined US on
the island was my accomplice. They
had no doubt that | was armed, as
indeed l took pains to make them
believe. The third villain, as l had
believed him, thought he had fallen
into very bad company, indeed,
when we overlook him, and regret
ted his haste in joining US; but had
quickly determined to do the best
he could for himself l;y keeping in
the rear, and by watching himself
carefully. His suspicion of me
and by my nervous, unguarded
manner l had laid myself justly
open to any amount of suspicion
had led him to regard me so intent
ly as we stood side by side on the
bench, measuring me that he might
form some opinion of the struggle
he believed imminent; all though
the woods on Goat Island had he
braced himself to repel the attack
he doubted not We were about to
make upon him. 1t was as pretty q
case of cross purpose as ono would
wish to see, and the reaction was in
proportion to the strain we had un-
dergone. The other two in their
turn, believed that we were in league,
and that they were to be the vic
tins, and it was to consult and de-
wise what means they could to out
wit or overcome US, that kept them
in consultation at the tower stairs.
At first, indeed, they had suspected
each other of being in league with
me, and it was some time before
they found out their mistake.
1t took some time to compare
notes, and heartily we laughed over
our mutual fear and suspicion; and
we did more talking in ten minutes
than had passed between us during
all our walk. 1t was nearly morn
ing when we parted. The next
morning we ordered a carriage, and
passed the morning together visit
ing the places 1 had looked at alone
the day before. found the thick
set ruffian" and the other two vii
lains" jovial, good fellows, whose
characters and dispositions would
entitle them to high place in any
ones estimation.
Many jolly laugh had we over
the contretem.ps Of the night before.
We passed but few hours together;
but "if this should meet their eyes,"
they will see 'by these presents"
that they are most kindly remem-
bered by the "brigand" who on that
frightful-funny occasion, staked his
all on the intimidating influence of
imaginary shooting irons"

Dried Apple Parings.

Wherever apples are scarce, it is
good economy to dry the nice par
ings, especially of fine fall apples, as
thus dried they will make good ap-
pie jelly in winter. l have tried ii
myself, and l can fancy that the
richly elaborated juices so close to
the sunshine under the crimson and
golden surface are more suitable fol
jellies than other parts of the ap-
pie, as we know it to be so in the
ounce. The parings dry nicely
laid in plates under the cooking
stove for the first day, then in the
sunshine. Keep in paper bags. The
parings Of russets are generally bit
ter.
