SUBSTITUTE FOR GUTTA PERoHA.-A
novel substitute for gutta percha has ju t
been utilized. 1t is a marine plant wash
ed up on the shores in the vicinity of the
Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, and
has come into considerable use as substi-
tute for gutta percha and similar substan-
ces, in the manufacture of fancy articles,
such as canes, picture frames, inlaid work,
etc. It is of a dark cclor, and when fresh
it is thick and feshy /; but when it is
dried it becomes compact, and its surface
looks like q beautifully grained deer's
horn. After it becomes dry and hard it
can be rendered soft again by stepping
in water, and i'll this condition may be
stretched and formed into various shapes
It can also be reduced, when dry, to pow
der, then made plastic by soaking in
water. and in this condition may be stuck
into almost any shape in q die press
coming out of the mould like articles
formed of gutta percha.

CHAPPED HANDs.-Thc easiest and
simplest remedy is found in every store.
Take common starch and grind it with
knife until it is reduced 10 the smoothest
powder. Take a tin box and fill it with
starch thus prepared, SO as to have it con-
tinually at hand for use. Then every
time the hands are taken from the suds,
or dish-water, rinse thea thoroughly in
clean water, wipe them, and while they
are yet damp, rub u pinch Of starch thor
oughiy over them, covering the whole
surface.
The effect is magical. The rough,
smarting skin is cooled, soothed and heal
ed, bringing and insuring the greatest
degree Of comfort and freedom from this,
by no means insignificant trial We know
many persons formerly afflicted with
hands that would chap until the blood
oozeG from many minute crevices, COM
pletely freed from the trouble by the use
OF this simple remedy

To PURIFY A Room Set pitcher o.
water in a room, and in u few hours it
will have absorbed all the respired gases
in the room, the air of which will become
purer, but the water utterly filthy. The
colder the water is, the greater he ca
paclty to contain these gases
At ordinary temperature q pail OF
water will absorb pint of carbOnic acid
gas and fseveral pints Of ammonia. The
capacity is nearly doubled by reducing
the water to the temperature of ice.
Hence water kept in room awhile is
always unfit for use. For the same rea-
son the water from pump should always
be pumped out in the morning before any
of it is used Impure water is more in
furious than impure air.

v E SHALL KNOW.
BY ANNIE HERBERT,

When the mists have rolled in splendor
From the beauty of the hills,
And the sunshine, warm and tender,
Falls in kisses on the rilIs,
We may read Loves shining letter
In the Tninbow of the spray,
We shall know each other better
When the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
NevermOre to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
five err in human blindness,
And forget that we are dust;
If we miss the law of kindness
When we struggle 10 be just;
Snowy wings OF peace shall cover
All the pain that hides away,
When the weary watch is over,
And the mists have cleared away,
We shall know as we are known,
Nevermore to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the silver mist has yelled US,
From the faces of our own,
Oft we deem their love has failed us,
And we tread our path alone
We should see them near and truly,
We should trust them day by day,
Neither love nor blame updulv,
il the mists were cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Nevermore to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the mists have risen above us,
AS our Father knows His own,
Face to face with those that love US,
We shall know as we are known,
Love, beyond the orient meadows
Floats the golden fringe of day;
Heart to heart we bide the shadows,
Till the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
NGvermore to walk alone,
When the Day of Light is dawnlng,
And the mists have cleared away.

About year ago New England was suffer
ing from drought. This year Illinois is
similarly afflicted, and to such an extent thai
blowing is impossible. These dry seasons
are, for the most part, attributable to the
destruction of timber, and close observers in
Illinois say that the disappearance of even
the meagre amount of forest growths which
SEINE localities have known has had per-
ceptible effect on the annual rainfall.

THE GOLDEN YEAR
BY ALFRED TRNNYsoN.

We sleep and wake and sleep, but all things
move /:
The sun flies forward 10 his brother sun
The dark earth follows wheeled in hel
eclipse;
And human things returning on themselves
Move onward, leading up the golden year.
All, though the times when some new thought
can bud
Are but as poets seasons when they flower,
Yet seas that daily gain upon the shore
Have Gbb and flow conditioning their march
And slow and sure comes up the golden
year.
The wealth no more shall rest in mounded
heaps,
But smit with frecr light shall slowly melt
In many streams to tatten lower lands,
and light shall spread and man be like1
man
Through all The seasons of the golden year.
Shall eagles rot be eagles? wrens be wrens
1t all the world were falcons, what of that?
The wonder of the eagle were the less,
But ne not less the eagle. Happy days,
Roll onward, leading up the golden year.
Fly, happy, happy sails, and bear the Press
Fly, happy with the mission OF the Cross;
Knit land TO land, and blowing heavenward
With silks, and fruits, and spices, clear O.
Enrich the markets of the golden year.
But we grow old. All when shall all men,
good
Be each mans rule, and universal peace
Lie like q shaft oflight across the land,
And like lane of beams athwart the sea.
Through all the circle Of the golden year.

to punish persons for making "straw bids

A CURIOUS CAsE.-Mr. Eli Hempsted
died short time since in New Haven,
from most singular cause. Some years
ago he was attacked with insanity and
was sent to the insane retreat in Hartford.
While there he pushed watch key up
his nose, and after his recovery informed
his physician what he mad done. An
effort was made to get it out. without sue
cess He left the retreat, and nothing
further was done to remove the article,
though he occasionally spoke of feeling
it. In year or two he was attacked
with sharp pain at the lower part of his
right lung He suffered from it for some
time, when it passed away. and for two
years he enjoyed good health. A few
weeks ago he went to New Haven with an
invoice of produce, and while engaged in
lifting was again attacked with pain and
bleeding from the lungs. He was taken
to his fathers house where in few days
he died.
His case was so singular that the physi-
clans made a post-naOrtens examination
when they found the key embodied in
the lower part of the lung and surround
ed by lump in state of modification
