ence.

A correspondent of the Washington
Star writes: The original manuscript
Of the Declaration of independence is
rapidly fading away, and, judging from
the past, but a few years will elapse
before the naked parchment will be the
only souvenir remaining of that bold
manifesto OF few colonsts who, with
their lives in their hands, dared pro-
claim themselves freemen. Already
nearly all the signatures are entirely
efaced, and the rest cannot last much
longer unless something is done to re.
store the wiring. The sacred declara.
ton, together with Geo. Washineton's
commission as General and Commander
in-Chief of the Colonial army, which is
in about the same condition, have been
for years on exhibition at the Patent
Office, and it is matter OF surprise that
no effort has been made by the Govern.
ment to save them from being lost for.
ever to posterity. This is susceptible of
being done, as we are credibly informed
that the British Museum is constantly
restoring old manuscripts to almost
their original condition. Do we not
possess like knowledge which can be
put to such valuable use? Here is an
opportunity for our Am ericau scientists
to distinguish themselves, and we trust
they will signify their ability and vii.
lingness as publicly as this urgent
request is made.

Girls, you all want to know how to

ever so common, saves mother ard YOUR
selves many hard job of scrubbing
and cleaning. Now, you ell, expect,
know how 10 make rag carpets. At
least, we judge so, from the nice letters
you write on that subject. So we take
method of making new carpets from
old wcolen ones from Harpfrs Basar.
No matter how faded, they may be
turned 20 good account by raveling out
the carpet, and. as you do SO, winding
it in balls. When this is done, have
ready some scarlet, blue, or green yarn,
which, if the colors of the carpet be
very dull, will help to enliyen them.
Next take n long stick, like a yard.
stick, and wrap the raveled yarn tightly
around it, interpreting it with little
red and green all the way through !;
when the stick is full, begin to sew it
along one edge, so as to secure it, and
then cut it open on the other. Now dc
another and another stickful in the
same way, until the carpet yarn is all
gone. A piece Of strong crash will an
swer best as a foundation for the rug we
are proposing to make GU. of this, and.
having hemmed it at each end, begin:
in the middle with o tu.t of bright COL
ors, sewing the rest around on the
foundation as closely as possible, row
after row, until the crash is completely
covered; it may thus be made as large
as required, and can be trimmed TO
make the tuft even. This will give you
very serviceable door.mat or rug, and
will wear as long as the old carpet has
already done.

To Measure Grain in A Rim.

correspondent OF the Rural Caro,;.
MAN gives the following rule: First get
the actual number of cubic feet, which
is done by multiplying the interior
length. breadth and depth together,
then eight-tenths Of the cubic feet will
be the number Of bushels that the bin
will contain, or eight-tenths of the cubic
feet of grain will be the number Of
bushels. To get eighttsnths, multiply
the cubic feet by eight, place period
before the first right-hand figure, and
you have the bushels and the tcnths of
bushels. If you measure corn on the
cob, allow one-half for the cob, so that
four-tenths of the cubic feet will be the
number Of bushels of shelled corn.
Illustrate: Bin l0xl0xlO feet; multiply
these together, prcduct 1000; Of which
sum eighttenths CT 0.S will be bushels,
and four.tenths or 0.4 if corn in tn ear ;
that is, 500 or 400 bushels, as. the corn
may be shelled or on the cob.

Cure for Stammeriny.

Many cures have been recommended
for the distressing habit of stammerinr,
few of which are sure. This is one Of
them: keep the teeth closed togeth.
err, and, before attempting to speak, re.
spire deeply; then give time for quiet
utterance, and after very slight prac.
tice the hesitation will be relieved. No
spasniodc action of the lower jaw must
be permitted to separate the teeth when
speaking. This plan, regularly carried
out for six months, will cure any one
who has the determination to perse.
we're in it."

A Heroic St0ker.

As the No. 8 passenger train on the
Toledo, Wabash and Western railroad
was running curve between Citation
and Bowen yesterday, the engineer dis.
covered child about two or three years
of age on the track short distance
ahead. He Immediately reversed the
engine and called the attention of the
fireman to it. The latter, whose name
is Geo. Wedgewood, seeing at once that
the train could not be stopped in time
to save its life, crept out on the cow
catcher, braced himself, and when he
got within reach of the child he seized
it and threw it up in the sir, so that it
lit upon its shoulder, thus snatching it
from the very jaws of death. 1t was G.
brave and heroic act, and done at the
peril Of his own life, end one for which
he is entitled to the largest measure of
praise and COMMUNICATION. He was
slightly injured in the undertaking, but
not to any extent. The child was en-.
trey unhurt.-Heokuk Gazette.

Cutting Corn.

When the fodder is an object. corn
should be cut when the grain is sufii.
GENTLY hard, so that the kernels cannot
be broken by strong pressure between
the fingers, irrespective of frost, or the
earliness or lateness of the season; but
If frost intervencs before the crop is
ripe, it should be cut Immediately,
since the fodder is not only injured or
rendered worthless soon after being
killed by tiost, but the corn is also seri-
ously injured, if not ruined altogether !;
but if cut and shocked Immediately, il
still makes good feed, since the sap con.
tinues to ascend and partially natures
the grain.
To cut and shock corn properly, let
hand 60 through the field making
tables regularly, and at proper distances,
by bending over and interlocking four
hills so they may form a figure x.
Around these set the corn firmly and
carefully, pressing the butts to the
ground and the tops together, until
sufficient is placed for tying. This may
be done with cornstalk partially wilt
ed, or with bands of hay or straw. Much
time is lost and unnecessary exertion
expended by not attending to the most
economical performance OF the work of
cutting and shocking corn. Many per-
sons cut and lay down the corn, to be
picked up again and placed in the
shock. Corn, once in the arms, should
always be carried directly to the shock
by the person who cuts it. The tables
being made, commence cutting so that
when the armful is secured you will be
near the place forming the shock, and
continue TO proceed thus until the shock
is completed. A little practice will,
enable any of you to calculate with so
much surety that but little time will be
lost in carrying the corn.
Much corn is injured by loose tying,
and also by tying too low down upon
the shock. The band should be placed
as high as possible and have it catch all
the stalks, and should be drawn as tight
rs may be without breaking the bands.
If the whole work has been carefully
performed, there is but little DANCE that
the shocks will be blown over, however
violent the wind.
Unless the corn is needed for fodder
or caught by frost before ripe, we should
never cut the crop, since it takes much
longer to husk from the shock than
from the hill; besides, it is much easier
to take care of the stalks left on the
hill than after it is shocked. We may
add, however, there is nothing better
for wintering cattle or young horses, and
especially milch cows. than good bright
corn fodder, and where forage is scarce,
il is of great value to the farmer.
