Useful Suggestions.

In ranging pictures of any sort, let
them be within the line of the eye
where one is standing. Five feet from
the floor is usually quite high enough
for pictures of ordinary size in ordinary
rooms. .
The most economical way to remove
dry paint from window panes is to
make q small swab, having . handle
some eight inches long, dip it in little
diluted oxalic acid, and rub off the
paint with swab.
To REMOVE proud flesh, pulverize loaf
sugar very fine, and apply it to the part
affected. This is a new and easy rome
dy, and is said to remove it entirely
without pain. It has been practiced in
England for many years.
A GERMAN professor found by expert
mept that "of all possible occasional
additions to the ordinary food Of COWS,
none has so marked an effect in increas-
ing the yield of milk as common mo-
lasses."
A GERMAN Psychologist asserts that
animals which are being fattened, par
ticularly oxen, should not be encour-
aged to drink much water, for the
reason that, as has been found by ex-
pertinent, the absorption of water gen.
crates carbonic acid to excess and tram
mels the formation Of fat.
BUcKNER, in his book on American
manures, says that salt has been found
effective in destroying the wire-worm,
and in preventing mildew and rust.
The danger in using is that in applying
sufficient to destroy the insects, the
vegetation also may be destroyed.
Or all the traps used for catching
rats, none is equal to the old steel trap,
having jaws forced together by q stout
spring. Properly managed. this traI
will capture any rat-even the Oldest
though it sometimes requires time
patience and shrewdness.
TIE brains of horse seems to enter

reason continued whipping is out Of tn,

means change the direction Of hi

Of, nine times out Of ten you will hav

simple trick as little pepper, aloe,

A Sneezing Accident.

An accident at Long Branch is thus
reported by lady correspondent: One
day last week, Miss Bolt, from Boston,
was sitting at our table; she had a
lovely toilet during dinner; but she
sneesed, when 10! the half of the
waist Of her dress ripped out, and
mamma had to put her lace shawl
around her. The dress was made with
one of those single-thread machines,
and, the lady being quite "snug" in
her figure, the sneeze broke that
thread.

The author OF Walks and Talks"
says the practice of watering horses at
the pump or pond, as they are brought
from the field. is not to be commended.
A careful farmer may do it with impu-
nifty, because he would not allow them
to drink too much when they are hot
and tired but many good horse has
died from careless watering.
