CLOTHES on FIRE.

Three persons out of four would push
right mp to the burning individual and
begin to paw with their hands without
any definite aim. 1t is useless to tell
the victim to do this or that, or call for
water. In fact, it is generally best not
to say word, but to seize blanket
or any wooden fabric-if none is at
hand, take any wooden material-hold
the corners as far apart as You can,
stretch them out higher than your head,
and running boldly to the person, make
a motion of clasping in the arms, mostly
about the shoulder. This instantly
smothers the fire and saves the face.
The next instant throw the person on
the floor. This is an additional safety
to the face and breath, and any remnant
of flame can be put out more leisurely.
The next instant immense the burnt
part in cold water, and all pain will
cease with the rapidity of lightning.
Next get some common flour, remove
from the water, and cover the burnt
parts with an inch in thickness of -four:
if possible, put the patient TO bed, and
do all that is possible to soothe until
the physician arrives. Let the -four re-
main until it falls off of itself, when n
beautiful new skin can be found. Tn
less the burns are deep, no other appli-
cations are needed. The dry Hour for
burns is the most admirable remedyever
and the information ought to
be impaired to all. The principle Of its
action is, that like the water, it causes
instant and perfect relief srom pain by
totally excluding the air from the in
jured parts. Scientific Americon.

When young man, says n CORE
spondcnt Of the Country Gentleman,
used to be very much annoyed by those
painful excresences called "corns," on
the toes and feet, until / was told of a
very simple but effectual remedy for
them by some person. 1t was to bathe
the feet in tepid water, to soften them !;
then pare them off very closely with n
sharp knife then rub on well green
peach-tree leaves; when, after continu-
ing the rubbing once or twice day, the
corns will entirely disappear, and not
return, without the cause which first oc-
casioned them. / have often tried the
remedy, and never yet found it to fail.
1t seems to be the prussic acid in the
peach-tree leaves that takes them away.
A good corn salve could no doubt be
made for winter use, by bruising the
peach-leaves when green; then boil
them in water until the strength is ex-
tracted; then take out the leaves, strain
the water off the sediment, and add
sufficient quantity of resin, beeswax,
tallow and lard oil to make it soft
enough, and simmer down, without burn
ing, until the water is evaporated.
Soften and pare the corn. as before d.
rected, spread it on small piece Of
cambria or linen, and apply, putting on
the sock or stocking carefully, SO MS not
to rub it off. Keep applying until the
corn disappears.

BRIGHAM rouNGS RESIGNATION.

.
The Salt Lake Tribune, referring to
President Young's resignation, says !:
The recent moves Of Mr.. Young in re-
signing the Presidency of the various
gigantic mercantile operations of the
Territory, which have heretofore had
his entire ecclesiastical influence and
the consequent support OF the whole
Mormon population, are really Of greater
significance than they first appear to the
causual observer. and certainly have
another Interpretation besides the one
assigned by Mr. Young in his recent dis
patch to the New York Herald. Hither-
to all these various speculations have
been maintained and sustained chiefly
through Mr.. Young's personal financial
standing abroad, which is well known to
be A everywhere, fact we think no
one will dispute, and the fact that he
has been known as the President of Il.
G. NJ. I. and other great enterprises has
been sufficient to establish credit
abroad to almost an unlimited amount.
Business relations with Mormon mer-
chants will be governed hereafter by the
same rules as are applied to the "Gen-
tiles" In other words, Coop and other
church monopolies will stand on an en-
tirely different basis, and be simply
recognized as the speculations of a few
Mormon capitalists, such as Hooper.
Jennings, Eldridge, Sharp, Little, and
a few others.

The Flow OF SAP.-Prof. Collins
says: The water Of the sap comes from
the ground, being imbibed by the roots.
A considerable quantity of starch is
stored up in the wood Of the tree in The
fall, and this in the spring is changed to
sugar and dissolved in the water taken
in by the roots. Why sap will flow at
one time and not at another, according
to the wind or weather, is not well under
stood. Starch and sugar are very near
ly the same in composition I; sugar only
contains little more water, chemically
united, not simply mixed with it.

MIRRoRs.-The amalgam, or tin foil
which is spread on plate glass to form
mirrors is readily crystallized by the
rays of the sun. A mirror where the
sun can shine on it is usually spoiled.
1t takes agzanulated appearance, familiar
to housekeepers, though they may not
be acquainted with its cause. In such
a state the article is nearly worthless !;
the continuity of its surface is destroyed
and it will not reflect outlines with any
approach to precision. Care should
therefore be exercised in hanging. If
any Of our readers have mirrors which
appear to be spelling, it would be well
to ascertain whether the direct sunlight
strikes them. If thus exposed, they can
probably be saved from further injury
by simply changing their position. The
back, as well as the front, must be pro-
tected.

Company. Steps have been taken to

with the reign Of England in the East,
and, its mission for good or evil having
been accomplished, it is about to pass

DEA TIL or THE INTENTOE OF SP0OL
TXREiU

DEA TIL or THE INVENTOR or SPOOL
THREAD.
The English papers by late steamer
announce the death at ripe old age OF
Mr.. Andrew Clark, the celebrated manu-
facturer, whose name has been asso-
ciated both in the New World and the
Old with the famous thread which is IN
universal use. He was virtually born
to the business of thread manufacture,
his father having been engaged III thai
line in Paisley, Scotland. But the
young inventor soon effected I'M
provements which revolntionized the
trade. He brought the process of manu-.
facture to its present perfection, and
was the inventor of the process of wind
ing it on the spools for consumers. Like
all inventors, Mr.. Clark was self-made
man. He commenced business IN
small room, but his improvements were
so valuable that his business seemed
only limited by the capacity to supply
the demands of consumers, and ior
years before his death he was at the
head of the largest and most celebrated
factory in the world. He was the means
c. converting his native village vi i'ai'-
ley into great and prosperous maiiu-
featuring center. Mr.. Clark, lew
years ago, associated his son in the busi'
ness, which is now continued under the
name of Clark & Co., and its agencies
are established all over the world-m
Russia, Germany, France and otier
parts of Europe, and in South America
md the United States.

Mary had little lamb,
II died "a long time ago;
And with its Woo! she bought calf.

The calf II was of Jersey breed.
And IL was slick aud nice;
And Mary thought to feed IL we'll
Twonid bring her good pyice.
She took 1t on to Washington
Out that was ON sly),
And shew II 10 the Congressman.
To see IL they would buy.
She told them when il Was COW
Twouid be 80 very nice.
The milk would he 10 good and nice
Twould bring them good price.
Some Of them thought twas very fne.
And bought share or two,
And when they thought they were all rich,
The COW began to leo.
1t scared them all so terribly
They ail began to shout,
And said they did not know what tw.s
And hollered turn her out.
Some swore, some cried, and all grew male
said Mary was TO blame;
But Mary said she'd tell the truth
And put them all to shame.
So Mary had little book,
And there she said she thought
Would lie recorded all the names
That in the calf had bought.
They said they never saw the COW,
But yet her milk they drank;
They said TWAS freely given them
Without 80 much as thank.
Some then tried to pick fuss,
But soon they gave IL DER;
They said If they should search tina, out
They'd find hundred more.
Poor NJ. c.'s, now hang down your heads
And blush for very shame,
For Ia buying Mary's calf
You've lost all your good name,
Then take advice We wise men all,
let truth your motto he,
Do nothing that would make you blush
To have the whole world see.
