Hs.sehslA U.es Of Anns.i..

Ammonia, or, as it is generally called, spirits of
hartshorn, is powerful alkali, and dissOlves dirt
and grease with ease. 1t has lately been recon-
mended very highly for many domestic purposes.
For washing paint, put a tablespoonful in quart
Of moderately hot water, dip in flannel cloth,
and with this simply wash off the woodwork: no
scrubbing will be necessary. For taking grease
spots from any fabric, use the ammonia nearly
pure, then lay white blotting over the spot,
and iron it lightly. In washing laces, put about
twelve drops in pint of warm suds. To clean
silver, mix two teaspoonfuls of ammonia in quart
of hot soap-suds. Put in your silverware and
wash it, using an old nail-brush or toothbrush
for the purpose. For cleaning hair-brushes, ETC.,
simply shake the brush up and down in mixture
of one teaspoonful Of ammonia to one pint of hot
water; when they are cleansed rinse them in cold
water, and stand them in the wind or in q hot
place to dry. For washing finger marks from
locking glasses or windows, put few drops of
ammonia ON n moist rag, and make quick work of
it. If you wish your se-plants to flourish, put
a few drops Of the spirits in every pint of water
used in watering. A teaspoonfnl in basin of
cold water will add much to the refreshing effects
of q bath. Nothing is better than ammonia water
for cleaning the hair. In every case rinse off the
ammonia with clear water. To which We would
only add that, for removing grease spots, mix
ture of equal parts of ammonia and alcohol is bet
ter than alcohol alone and for taking ont the red
stains produced by strong acids in blue and black
clothes, there il nothing better than ammonia.

Plan - Rreve,e Rarus nro0 DpReoAin9.
After failing in the paramount object of imme-
diately extinguishing . fire, tho most important
purpose is to prevent its spreading to ADJOINING
buildings or communicating to the opposite square.
To prevent it from crossing the street, doubtless
the following simple and cheap plan viii be found
efectual, if taken in time:
Rivet rings securely, six or eight feet apart, to
the upper side Of ordinary hose, the hose to be
perforated with holes ON one side every six inches
This hose is to be hung mp under the cornice Of
the buildings opposite the hre, ~ spikes driven
into the eofnice, or between the brick or stone,
the rings attached to the hose being put on over
the spikehesds, TINS holding it securely in place
Company. Then attach an ordinary tight hose to
the end Of this perforated hose and bring down to
the ground and back to the engine One engine
will force through this hose sufficient stream to
lover the cornice and the entire front Of several
houses with . steady sheet of water. If the per-
forated hose extends = considerable distance, or
whole square, put an engine to the other end
These engines standing out Of reach of the fire,
will force water through the hose long after the
fremen are driven from the front of the house on
fire, or from the street; and, the hose will al
ways be wet from water SCATTERING against the
cornice and against the wall, it will not be easily
burned. With proper activity ON the roofs Of
houses the fronts Of which are thus protected, it
will be almost impossible for any ordinary fire to
spread. OF course, in thus giving the plan briefly
many details are omitted, such rs the best and
quickest way to put mp the perforated hose, means
necessary to adopt where houses are Of different
heights, and to utilize the CUTTERS,
This plan in ordinary cases will not only effect
ually prevent fires from spreading, but in narrow
and even ordinary streets will protect the bull
dings opposite from having the cOrnice, window
sash, frames, blinds burnt or bistered with the
heat, or glass from being broken, often of great
value. This alone will more than pay the cost at
nearly every considerable fire. Is this plan new
If SO, how easy to test it. A. WATSON.

To cut up fruit tree, and to be ut the pains Of
settinp crafts in it Of some favOritc SORT all with
no better result than to expectations whitening
into disappointment and loss, 70 a vexation.
There are some people who don't have such fail
ures; those who do are generally the imPerfectly
informed or the apt-to-be negligent.
Success depends manly on having gratis in
sound condition Just a. success in cOrn-feld de-
ponds on planting sound seed.
Crafts (or coins) oftenest lost by being stor-
ed badly. In our climate it 10 necessary to cut
crafts Of fruits that arc rather tender before
suy yery severely dry or cold weather parches
the wood 60 as to impede circulation. And, for
the came reason. they cannot be set out on the
stock safely until after the severe weather is past
and the sap of the stock begins to flow 90 freely
that the oozng Of moisture from it will be sufi-
Gent to keep the graft fresh and plump. coat
of wax prevents this moisture from escaping. 1t
must be quite tight without hole crack, in order
to retain the moisture through trying weather. un-
til o union of wood and q coating Of bark have
formed; which will be effected BY midsummer.
The covering of earth over the planted corn effects
precisely the same object; and will secure gratis
perfectly too, when it can be used well.
1t is equally necessary, in nilder seasons and
climates to cut gratis early because of the Gabil-
ity then of their being melted into movement of
growth, by May weather occurring in January or
February. This would unfit them for use, for no
woody plants endure well to be disturbed at the
critical season ofthe starag Of grorh in the sprisg
All cutting, or shifting, or interference Of any
kind, should be avoided then. 1t always afronts,
and shows, long after the effects of Q shock given
to the vitality Of the tree.
So crafts must sometimes be kept from Decem-
Der to May, five months or more; and the difficult
out being at any time soaked with wet, or dried,
or moulded by long confinement in damp, close
air. Freezing, to q moderate degree, does not
hurt them, provided they thaw slowly.

OHeaded Dignity.

The Democracy have had a clear working ma
jority in -, Illinois, for a number of years.
But when the Fifteenth Amendment went into
effect, it enfranchised SO many of our "cullud
ders that, unless a good many black votes could
be bought up, the Republicans would carry the
city election. Accordingly advances were made
to the Rev. Brother =, whose influence it was
thought desirable to secure, inasmuch as he was
certain to control the votes of his entire church.
He was found "open to conviction" and ar
rangements progressed satisfactorily until it was
asked how much money would be necessary to Be-
cure his vote and influence.
With an air of offended dignity Brother re-
piled:
Now, gemmen, as a regular awtlained minister
OBJ de Baptist Church, dis ting has gone les rs far
as my conscience will low; but, gemmen, my son
Uill call round TO see you in de mornin'."

the very best sections opened in the government

he thus addressed himself:
"Do you like to live here in the woods, these
distant woods, so far away from any other hu-

"Woods!" like to live in the woods!" she ech-
oed and repeated; "bless your lawful sakes you
don't call this woods, do YET There are no bears
