A HARD CAsE-Dying, without money.

pany OF New York, yet leaving a wife
and small children
IODINE AND BoILs.-As soon as a boil
becomes hard and inflamed paint it with
iodine. The poison will not be scattered,
but will be absorbed by it.
APPLE WATER.-Slice two large ap-
pies, put them into jar, and pour over
them one pint of boiling water. Cover
close for an hour; pour off the fluid, and
sweeten if necessary.
TRY VINEGAR ON LIME SPoTs.-Vine-
gar will neutraliZe lime spots on wooden
cloths without injuring the color of the
cloth. Dark cloth, the color of which
had apparently been destroyed in large
blotches, was perfectly restored to its
original color by the application of strong
vinegar.
PICKLED PEACHEs.-One-ha half gallon
sharp vinegar, four pounds sugar, two
ounces cinnamon, two ounces cloves; put
the spice in bag; boil the mixture five
minutes, then put in the peaches and boil
them five minutes; take them out and put
in more; put the peaches in jars, and
pour the mixture over them hot; when
cold, cover tight.
the grains and scrape the cobs. Cover
this with water mot too much) and boil
until perfectly done. Now add two quarts
of milk, let it come to a boil; stir in two
tablespoonfuls of butter rolled in a
tablespoonful of flour, let the whole
boil ten minutes; have ready the yolks
of three eggs well beaten, pour the soup
on them, stirring hard all the time
Serve Immediately, after seasoning to
taste.
A NICE table is often seriously injured
in appearance by some one placing ON it
pitcher of boiling water, or a hot dish,
which leaves a whitish mark. To remove
this it is only necessary to pour some lamp
oil on the spot and rub it hard with a
soft cloth; then pour on little spirits of
wine or Cologne water, and rub it dry
with another cloth. The white mark will
thus disappear, and the table look as well
as ever.
THE unpleasant odor produced by per-
spiration is frequently the source of vex-
alton to persons who are subject to it.
Nothing is simpler than to remove this
odor much more effectually than by the
application of such costly onguents and
perfumes as are in use. 1t is only neces,
sary to procure some compound spirits of
ammonia and place two tablespoonfuls in
a basin of water. Washing the face
hands and arms with this leaves the skin
as clean and sweet as one could wish.
The wash is perfectly harmless, and very
cheap. 1t is recommended on the author
ity of an experienced physician.
A FRENCH technical paper, specially
devoted to the art and science of paper
manufacture, states that any alterations
or falsifications of writings in ordinary
ink may be rendered impossible by pass
ing the paper on which it is intended tC
write through solution of 0.01543 En-
glIsh grain of gallic acid in as much pure
distilled water as will fill to moderate
depth an ordinary soup-plate. After the
paper thus prepared has become thor
oughly dried and its surface made smooth
it may be used as ordinary paper fol
writing, but any attempt made to alter
falsify, or change anything written there
on, will be left perfectly visible, and may
thus be readily detected.
! ARTIFICIAL WATER LIME.-It has beer
long known to chemists that water-lime
consists substantially of quick lime, burn
clay, and small portion of the oxides o.
iron and magnesia, but scarcely any effor
has been made to utilize this knowledge
All yellow or red clays contain iron, anC
most specimens of lime in use contain the
required magnesia If burnt clay Of
brick dust, in the fine powder, be mixeC
with an equal weight of fresh Stacked
lime, and twice this weight of clean
sharp sand be added, compound will bt
formed which will harden under wate
equal to the best hydraulic cement.-Sci

A GooD CELLAR.-When the cellar il
dug the foundation for the wall should b,
dug about a foot deeper than the cellar
This should be filled up with gravel o.
broken stone. Build up the wall on this
using good lime mortar between the stones
or brick. When within two or three fee
of the surface of the ground, care should
be taken not to let any one stone or bricl
GO through from side to side, as it would
be liable to conduct the frost through.
would be better to build the wall up il
two distinct layers, leaving small al
chamber in the center, which will effectu
ally keep out the frost. In putting tn,
windows in put glass in both sides of tn
sash, there being an air chamber in tn,
center; it will also check the frost. Ii
making the drain make it as low as tn,
bottom of the wall, which will be one foo
below the bottom of your cellar, and
will guarantee that you will always hav,
a dry cellar, let the weather be as it may
whereas if the cellar wall be built on
level with the bottom of the cellar, tn,
water will, in rainy season, soak through
into your cellar.-Erchdnge.
