Chenp Iee-Hauxe.

At a meeting of the Elmira IN. W Farmers
Club, w. A. Armstrong said that cheap ict
house conld be made out of a simple well rooted
enclosure, without hollow walls or pits or any
costly apparatus. He leaves six inches of space
next the side all around, into which he rams
clean sawdust closely, and covers the ice when
pnt in with a foot of the dust The ice is cut
into large blocks and made to fit ut the joints rs
closely rs convenient; but where the edges are
jagged he fills in with pounded ice or sawdust-
the latter being the cheapest. Drainage is i'm
portant; but if the house stands porous soil
or is so elevated that the water will off read
lily, It answers every purpose. He has kept ice
several years in such building nine feet square
and the same in height, the sides being only of
inch boards. When ice is taken ont, be careful
to keep all the cavities covered with sawdust or
IL will waste away rapidly. In answer to a ques
ton as TO the cost of house fourteen feet square,
be said that $50 would pay for it and the saw
dust; and, built of cheap lumber, it might cost
only SIS. In packing, spent tan or cut straw
would answer nearly as well as sawdust.-Coun-
try Gentleman

Cuzi0sIty.

One of my friends, before we left Boston, as II
determined that nothing should surprise me, re-
lated many diverting anecdotes to illustrate the
inquisitiye turn Of his countrymen. Among other
stories, he gave lively description OF a New
Eurlander who was seated by reserved compan-
ion in a railway car. and who, by way Of begin
ming conversation, said:
"Are you a bachelOrT
To which the other replied dryly, "No. I'm
not"
"Then you must be widowerp
"NO, Pm hot"
Here there was q short pause; but the M
daunted auer.st returned to the charge, observ-
ing: AFT Won are neither a bachelor, nor mar
ried man, nor a widower, what In the "orid can
%If Won must know" said the other, al AM q
Another story told me by the same friend, was
that gentleman being asked, in stage coach,
nov he had lost his leg made his fellow travellers
nromise that if he told them, they would put no
more questions on the subject. He then said it
was bitten of. To have thus precluded them for
the rest of long journey. from asking how II
was bitten off, truly ingenious method of
putting impertinent curiosity on the rack.-Ly-

Aseful aud Curious.
Burns or se.Ia.--A. Elective Remedy.


The following is one of the best applications
We know OF in case Of burns or scaids, more es-
pecially where large surface is denuded of the
cutiele. Take one drachin OF ninety powdered
alum, and mix thoroughly with the whites Of
two eggs and one emp of fresh lard; spread on a
cloth, and apply to parts burnt. liz gives almost
instant relief from pain, and by excluding the
air, prevents iDfiammatory action. The spplica-
tion should be changed at least once day.
One of the simplest and most useful remedies
for scalds and burns is said to be an embrocation
of ime-water and linseed oil. These simple
agents combined form thick, cream-like sub
stance, which effectually excludes the air from
the injured parts, and allays the inflammation
almost instantly. A case is mentioned where
a child fell backward into bath-tub of boiling
water, and was nearly iayed from her neck to
below her hips. Her agonies were indescribable,
but her clothing being gently removed, and the
lime and oil being thickly spread over the injur-
ed surface, she was sound asleep in five minutes.
Subsequently the parts were carefully washed
with warm milk and water three times day,
the oil dressing was renewed and the little pa
tient readily recovered. Though all the scalled
skin came off she did not have scar. This REM
edy leaves no hard coat to dry on the sore, but
softens the parts, and aids nature to repair the
injury in the readiest and most expeditions man
ner. The mixture may be procured in the drug
store, but if not thus accessible, slake lump Of
quick-lime in water, aud shake it we'll II the
case is urgent, use boiling water over the lime,
and it will become clear in five minutes. The
preparation may be kept ready bottled in the
house, and it will be as good when six mont hs
old as when first made.

the following account or the experience of one
family in the neighborhod with what is called a
''procelain" lining in jar for preserving toma-
toes. 1t comes from a perfectly Trustworthy
source: "The jar is the Mason jar of glass; with
screw top of zinc, lined with what appears
like white proclaim. Mrs. X. put up tomatoes
aud preserves in these jars, and began to use the
tomatoes in December. In the first mess she
tried all the family noticed a very peculiar taste
which was Away the same in whatever way the
tomatoes were cooked. Still, they went on using
them for some time, thinking glass lars the best
thing for tomatoes, until the day when they dis
covered that the proclaim substance had entire
ly disappeared from the covers of the jars, appar-
emily dissolved; aud when they looked at the
other covers, it was the same in every one. There
was no trace of the proclaim left. The Jars
which held preserves were not effected in any
way; it was only the tomatoes.-BostoH Adrer-

T.. De,.s. Table, Complete.

Dir. Smith, Of the British Museum, after d-ci-
phering the ancient account of the deiuge, was
sent TO Assyria, at the expense Of the Daily Tele-
graph, to make, if possible, further discoveries.
The Inscriptions be has thus far obtained are of
some value, bnt the most remarkable part of his
researches is that he has unearthed the very
missing portion of the deluge tablet. 1.-THE dis
covery may be clsssed as one of the most won
derful of modern times. That a student of
archaeological fragments in the British Museum
should proceed to the plans of Assyria and there
by dint of exploration and excavation, finally
come across, not only similar records, but the
one missing fragment he desired, is truly SO
strange as to be hardly credible and yet there it
is, fitting into the broken edge Of tile museum
specimen, and containing on its surface the To
cord which, but for it, must have ever remained

Feeding Hogs.

4 correspondent of the Boston. Crlfirator. who
insists that the food for hogs should always be
cooked, and fed to them warm and in . warm
place IN cold weather, gives the following state
ment Of his manner of preparing the daily food,
and The cost thereof, for his swine, his business
being chiefly to raise pigs and shoats for sale:
Take six pounds of beef scrap, at cost of
nine cents, and boil in two pals of water; scald
in two quarts of corn cob meal at cost of three
cents; add six pals of water, and you have good
swirl enough to feed six store hogs and eight
small shoats once, at an expense of twenty four
cents. This done twice in each day is sufficient
to keep breeding sows or store pigs in good con-
dition. This is the exact quantity am feeding
TO the number Of hogs mentioned slaughtered
two fat hogs last fall, fed in this way until the
time to fatten them arrived. after which they
had their usual feed thickened to y dough with
corn and cob meal only, and at the age of six
teen months the two weighed over one thousand

DIR. LITrLEJoBy. medical OFFICER Of Fd;,br-o

DR.. LrTrLEJoHN, medical officer of Edinburgh
in recent report, gives it as his opinion that
typhus fever is the result Of over-crowding, and
typhoid fever the effect of of sewer gases. The
former, therefore, is common in the dwellings of
the poor, while the latter is found in houses of a
better description, where there are pipes com,
municating with an external drain. In the case
of the very poor, whose houses are deficient in
drainage arrangements, typhoid fever is rarely
seen. Practically, DIR. Littlejobn has failed to
detect any bad effects resulting from the use by
cows of grass grown on sewage meadows. All
the cows fed on sewage grown grass find their
way tn the slaughter houses, where they are ex-
anned by DIR. Littlejohn and a staff Of inspec-
tors, who lind that those appearances which are
met with IN diseased meat are not more frequent
in these animals than in others. Sewage grass
is, so far his observations have gone, uno6jec-
tionable as food for cattle.

CARE OF HOUSE PLANTs.-A lady in Kansas
gives her plan for caring for house plants iol-
lows: AZ live in frame house. and last winter
Kept nifty pots of different kinds of grranums,
roses, fuchsiss, and remoDtant pinks an of which
received the same kind of treatment, and in the
spring my plants were very healthy, and the
leaves OF dark green color. Many came to me
for slips in preference to the greenhouse. Every
Two weeks all winter would take handful of
tobacco stems, and steep them by pouring boil
ing water over them until it looked like strong
tea; then when the tea cooled enough to bear the
the leaves would wilt for few moments. and
then straighten out, and have that bright fresh
look they have in summer after shower Then
would weaken the tea q little more, aud wet
the ground in the pots, aud had no red spider
