How Mirrors May be Ruined.

The Mercantile Journal remarks: 1t
Is fact worth knowing, but which does
not seem generally understood, that the
amalgam of tinfoil with MERCURY, which is
spread on glass plates to make looking
glasses, is very readily crystallized by ac-
tlnic solar rays. A mirror hung where
the sun can shine on it is usually spoiled a;
1t takes . graduated appearance familiar
to housekeepers. though they may not be
acquainted with its cause. In such q
state the article is nearly worthless: the
continuity of its surface is DESTROYED, and,
1t will not reflect outlines with any ap-
proach to precision. Care should there
fore be exercised in hanging. IF any of
our readers have mirrors which appear
to gbe spelling, it will be well to ascer-
tain whether the direct sunlight strikes
them, If thus exposed, they can proba-
bly, be saved from further in jury By sim
ply changing their position. The back as
well as the front must be protected A
small glass hung in a window, where the
rays strike it behind, is peculiarly expos
ed. The back should always be covered
where the beams are likely to touch it.
The greatest danger to looking glasses,
however, is in transporting them. Very
expensive ones have been seriously injured
by careless handling when merely carried
across the street The men who move fur
niture are seldom fully aware of these
possibilities, end need to be cautionedand
watched. Frequently aman or boy may
be seen in the street carrying a mirror III
such way that the full glare of noon
day sun strikes and Injuries it. Owners of
such articles would. as rule, be able to
keep and use hem much longer if they
would exercise more caution in this re-
gard. To resilver a pier glass often costs
as much as oDe-ffth of the original price
of the article; while the common glass is
seldom worth resilvering. .l
1t is also we'll to avoid hanging mir
roT near stove or replace, where the
heat radiated can reach it. If this pre-
caution is neglected, granulation is likely
to occur, even in a comparatively dark
room, by the influence of warmth instead
of light. A lamp or gas jet, if placed too
close while burning, though it may not
crack the glass, will often bring about the
same injurious capitalization, and will
even sometimes cause the amalgam to
melt and run off.

The inhospitable winds and chilly fegs of spring
are unwelcome visitors to the feeble and aiing and
are by no means congenial to the healthy If there
is any germ of disease lurking in the system they
are sure to develop it, unless proper precautions
are taken to prevent such a misfortune. Bilious
complaints, dyspepsia, nervous debility, rheuma-
tisn, Irregularities of the bowels and disorders
which affect the kidneys, all aggravated by the
peculiar condition of the atmosphere at this season.
Invalids who subject to any of these disorders
or have predisposition thereto, should therefore
forearm themselves against danger by siren ghen-
ing the digestive organs, the nervous system and
the muscular fibre with daily doses of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters There is period of the year at
which stimulating tonic and regulating medicine
is urgently required than in the spring and
there is no preparation of that class in which so
many valuable restorative and preventive proper
ties are combined in such perfectly safe and
harmless form in Hostetter's Bftters It may be
stated positively, unoontradctable fact, that
course of this agreeable vegetable specific, COM
nenced now and continued through the spring
months, will effectualy shield the inhabitants of
marshy and niasmatlc localities from the interrnit-

Cincinnati Commercial that Mr.. Froude,
who returned home under much anxiety
for the health of his daughter, Miss Rose
Froude, has now the satisfaction OF know
ing that she may recover, and has return

visit to America, and has hundred
charming anecdotes and experiences with

says, some what to the surprise OF many a
listener, that he likes the Americans far
better than he expected when he went, and
that he did not meet single vulgar per

Garden Glen nings.

A KENTUCKY editor says a neighbor
OF his is so lazy that when he works in
the garden he moves about so slowly
that the shade of his broad brimmed
hat kills the plants.
In removing the various crops from
the garden, during the summer, no
weeds should be allowed to seed.
They should be kept constantly cut
down; or, better, some other crop may
be sown III the land, if only for the
purpose OF digging under.
FLOWER and garden seeds, when
done up in papers, are sometimes de-
stroyed by mice. Well dried and put
into bottles and phials that may be
lying about the house, these seeds will
be safe. Ii the bottles are neatly la
belief and put away in order, it viii be
found very pretty way OF preserving
seeds. The bottles should be washed
before the seeds are put into them.

he trains his vines to the top of the

fore. He says he has applied for a

STRAWBERRIES WITH POTATOES. "A
correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph tells how he avoided the
disadvantage of allowing the ground
to remain idle the first year, as is usual
under the common mode of planting
strawberries. The ground was first
handsomely prepared by blowing and
narrowing, the Early Rose potato
planted in hills thirty inches apart
each way, and the strawberry plants
also the same distance, alternating in
the rows with the potatoes, that is,
fifteen inches from each potato hill.
A one horse cuItivator and hand-hoe
kept them perfectly clean, The potatoes
were dug IN july, leaving the strawber-
ry plants III full possession just as they
were beginning to throw out runners.
The additional care of the strawberries
was estimated at $40 per acre. One
full crop of berries free from weeds is
enough more might be had, but the
labor of keeping clean by hand is much
more than preparing the ground by
horse-labor and replanting.

How They Manage Fires in Vienna.

Vienna Correspondence Boston Journal.
The best Illustration of the sort Of
work done here has been given by q
fire which occurred last night in the
house occupied by Mr.. Jay, our Min
lister, the Italian Minister, and other
families. By some carelessness the
roof took fire and burnt an hour be-
fore it was noticed; a strong wind was
raging, and the height of the building
is great, perhaps rs feet. Finally the
engines arrived, and in the course of a
couple of hours, after two-thirds of
the roof had burned away, the fire was
extinguished. From the street to-day,
Ghere is nothing to indicate that there
was fire in the building, and a stone
balustrade surmounting the cornioe,
and bearing various figures and groups,
remains intact. The families reside
still IN the house, those in the fourth
story having remained in their apart
ments during the fire. The various
occupants of the different suits of
rooms were seen upon the balconies
gazing at the flames, thinking it IN :
necessary to save themselves or their
furniture.

TIN
Discovery of the Orc In Large Quanti
ties between Saut Ste. Marie Rive


Discovery of the Ore. in Large QuantI-
ties between Sault Ste. Marie River
and Thunder Bay. EE.
Letters from the north shore of Lake
Superior tell of the discovery of q
great tin-bearing region in the vicinity
of Otter Head, midway between Sault
Ste. Marie River and Thunder Bay.
The veins extend fifteen miles along
the coast and eight miles inland. The
gulches and rayines in the cliffs are
filled with deposits of stream tin. which
yield by frequent analysis 35 per cent.
of metal
This discovery is the more important
from the fact that hitherto the United
States have been wholly dependent up
on the mines in Cornwall, Devonshire,
and Germany for supplies of tin, Of
which our annual imports reach nearly
SO, 100000, The Lake Superior ore is
stated to be, on the average, fifteen
times as rich in tin as the Cornwall
ores, and the deposits are said to be
exhaustless. In the same region have
been found promising traces of silver.
iron, sulphuret of copper, and other
minerals. 1886
