WILLIAM WAS REST

A family living in. the country hired new
coachman, and his name was William. As both
the gentlemen of the house and his Oldest son
were named William, it was thought advisable to
avoid confusion, to call the coachman by his last
name William had no objection to this plan, and
was asked to state his surname.
''Deary !" said he with a diobolical grin.
The family shUddered. Think of it. How would
this sort of thing sound

NOTES AND QUERIES.

Liquid Soap for Cleaning Wool,-An ex-
cellsht liquid soap, for cleaning and washing
raw wool, according to Moser, may be pre-.
pared by using a kettle in which the mass
can be heated, by means of steam tube
opening directly into it. The kettle (holding
$50 gallons) is first to Re half filled with wa.
ter, which is then to be heated, and 6S
pounds of caustic soda of 42o (B), and 1875
pounds of oleine added to it. This soap is to
be boiled thoroughly for twenty or thirty
minutes with continued stirring. and Is then
ready for use, forming a very homogeneous
so-calIed, soap-glue, or a sirupy consistency
and especially adapted for washing wool
Should the soap be required for fulling, an ad I.
dition of some ammoniacal salt will be of ad-
vantage, to be introduced Immediately before
using. Instead ofcaustic soda, which it is
sometimes difficult to obtain, we may use
ordinary soda salt, which is to be renderer
caustic by teaching through freshly burned
and slightly moistened lime. Even ordinary
potash I've, obtained from asoes, mixed with
fresh quickIime, can be employed in this pre-
paration. -RuraE NeU YORKER

HOME CONVERSATION.

Children hunger perpetually for new ideas
They will learn with pleasure frcm the lips
OF their parents what they deem it drudgery
to study in books and even if they have the
misfortune to lie deprived of many educa-
tional advantages, they will grow up ntelli-
gent if they enjsy Ill childhood the privilege
of listening daily to the conversation of in
telligent people. We sometimes see parents,
who are the life of every company which they
enter, dull, silent and unnteresting at home
among their own children. IF they have 1T
mental activity and mental stores sufficiently
for both, let them first use what they have
for their own household. silent house is a.
dull place for young people, place from
which they will escape if they can. How
much useful information, on the other hand
is often giyenin pleasant family conversation
and what unconscious, but excellent mental
training in lively social argument. Cultivate.
to the utmost, all the graces of home CONVEX,

ONE MORE EXPOSURE

The supporters of Mr.. Greeley are quite
fond of using the names of prominent and in
fuential men at some distance from their
homes without their knowledge or consent.
It has oeen quite busiy reported for some
days that Hon. Henry S. Lane, of Indiana.
had declared for Greeley. The following dis
patch from him contains a specific denial
To T. T. Scott, Acting Assistant Doorkeeper
u. s. Senate:
There is no truth in the report. I am for
Grant and against Greeley, and shall so re-
main.
A. s. LANE.
In a letter to an eminent public man re-
ceiVed yesterday, he says;
have been unreserved and frank in the
expression of my preference for Gen, Grant,
both before and since the Cincinnati Conven-
ton. l never for one moment thought of
supporting Mr.. Greeley.

ing poem that he had commenced, and as he sat
mus1ng overit his fancy wandered from the sub

And hang my cage there daily,
But neVer catch bird.
So with thoughts my brain is peopled,
And they sing there all day long,
But they will not fold their piniOns
In the little cage of song.

OLD CHESTNUT TREES ON MOUNT
ETNA.


Mt. Etna is celebrated for the great age
aud colossal dimensions of its chestnut trees:
for one of the largest and oldest trees of the
kind in the world is that of Mount Etna
which is called Castagno di Cento Cavalli.
1t is said JEANNE of Arragon, on her road
from Spain to Naples, visited Mount Etna.
attended by her principal nobility, and being
caught in heavy shower she and hundre
cavaliers took refuge under the branches of
this tree, which completely sheltered them.
century ago, according to BRYDoN, this
tree measured 204 feet in circumference near
the ground but more recent travellers give
only $50 feet as its girth, There are also two
other celebrated chestnuts on Mount Etna
one called the Castagno di Sansa Agata.
which measures 70 feet in girth and the other,
Castsg 40 della Nave, which measures GA feet:
the stems, however attain no great hight, but
soon branch off above the ground. According
to DR.. PHILIPPT, the Castanea vesca does
not appear to be wilG in any part of Mount
Etna, bat always to be cultivated The oar.

NEVER MIND RIsrSo EARLY.-All
this talk about early rising is moon
shine. The habit of turning out OF
bed in the middle of the night suits
some people; let them enjoy IT, Bu,
il is only folly to lay down a general
rule upon the subject. Some men are
fit for nothing all day after they have
risen early in the morning, Their en-
ergies are Geadened, their imaginstions
are heavy, their spirits are depressed.
Ii is said you can work 30 well in the
morning, Some people can, but Others
can work best at night; others, in the
afternoon. Long trial and experience,
form the only conclusive tests on these
points. As for getting up early be
cause Professor Cannon has written
letters TO the papers proving the ne
oesslty Of il, let no one be goose enough
to do it. We all know the model ma d
Ieigbty-"I invariably riae at FIVE;
work three hours, take light break
fast-namely, cracker and pinch OF
salt--work FIVE hours more; never
drink anything but barley water; eat
no dinner, and go to bed al six in the
evening" If anybody finds that donk
eyfied aort of life suits him, by all
means let him continue it. But few
people would care to live to eighty on
those terms. Ifa man cannot get well
withered and crumblcd up on easier
terms than those, il is almost as we'll
that he should depart before he is a
nuisance to himselfand bore TO every
body else.

Golden Words.

Science may raise us TO cniinence
but religion alone can guide us TO fe-
licity.
The highest and most characteristic
glory Of earthly beluty, is to make us
aspire to heavenly one.
As daylight can be seen through
very small holes, 40 little things will
illustrate a persons character,
II matters no. what man loses il
he saves his soul but if he loses his
soul, it matters not what he saves.
Are cur Gins profitable subjects for
contemplition2 lfGod has put them
behind his back, should We keep them
forever before our faces?
The life worn out in Christ's service
or Laid down in his cause, shall be re.
warded with another and a much bet
ter life; that shall be eternal.
The faults Of christians are watched
with more rigid scrutiny than their
virtues hence the importance Of sus.
tanning an unb!emished character.
Multitudes in their haste to get rich
are ruined every year The men who
do things mlturely, slowly, delbera
tely, are the men who oftenest succeed
in life. People who are habitually in
a hurry, generally have TO do thiug'
twice over.

SPECIFIC FOR DIPHTuERIA.-Tbe
Italian journals publish letter from
DR.. Giovanni Galligari. describing the
remarkable success which has attended
his treatment of diptheria with picnic
acid. He relates the losses he former
ly experienced among his patients,
when treating them with emolients,
solvents, and cautcrization with hydro.
chloric acid, and oh erves that this
cauterization can no more eradicate
the morbid principle than tearing the
leaf off plant will destroy the root.
He now simply uses gargle of picnic
acid and distilled water, with external
applications of new flannel; the food
and drink to be taken cold. After the
adoption Of the treatment, DIR. CALI
gari lost but one patient out of fifty
eight. He requested the Italian jour
nails TO publish the discovery. Picnic
acid is the agent which is now being
used in this country AS a remedy for
cancer, and seems likely to effect an
immense saving of lives Formerly hope
lessly sacrificed to that disease.
