ECONOMICAL USE OF NuTMEes.-If q
person begins to CRATE a nutmeg at the
stalk end, it will prove hollow through
obi; whereas the same nutmeg, grated
at the other end, would have proved
sound and solid to the last. This cir
cumstance may thus be accounted for:
The center of a nutmeg consists of a
number of fibers issuing from the stalk
and denomination through the center
Of the fruit, the other ends of which
fibers, though closely surrounded and
pressed by the fruit, do not adhere to
it. When the stalk is grated away,
these fbres, having lost their hold,
gradually drop out in succession, and
the hollow continues through the whole
nut. By beginning at the contrary end,
the fbres above mentioned are grated
off at their core end, with the sur
rounding fruit, and do not drop out
and cause hole.

PRESERVING BouoUErs AND Cur Flow
xRs.-H, instead of treating flowers in
the usual way to keep them fresh, they
be placed in clean, washed, fine sand 3,
thoroughly saturated with water, they
will keep fresh longer than in the ordi-
nary way placed in water, for the reason
that the stems of plants immersed in
water, soon macerate and decay. When
short stemmed plants, as balsams, are
placed in shallow vessels for decorat-
ing purposes, sand should be placed in
the bottom of the vessel and only suffi-
Gent water allowed simply to float the
plants. If broad vases are used for
making pyramid of longer stemmed
flowers, they should be thrust in dry
sand to proper depth, and the sand
then thoroughly but gradually moist
.ened. For filling narrow necked vases,
use dry sand and then saturate with
water. .... .-...4.....

Practical knowledge OF Telegraphy,
Private Or Short telegraph Lines.

The magnets in the Nonpareil Telegraph in
strumentS are made of different rcSStanccs,
and they are furnished to work lines up to
five miles in length.
Persons ordering Instruments to operate
lines of more than half mile in length
should state the length of the line, and size
or number of t he wire on which they desire
to work them. in order that magnets OF pro-
per resistance and the necessary amount of
battery may be furnished.
The demand for some ineXpensiveyc yet COM
pletc apparatus, by the means of which the
Geographic art may be acquired has long
gent AS the telegraph has come into moro
general use the desire to became familiar
with its operation has also increased. The
low price at which the Nonparicl is furnished
makes il no exaggeration to say that this
knowledge may he acquired by its use at less
than one fourth of what it would otherwise
cost II also furnishes very interesting
study and practice for young men and young
ladies for the long Winter evenings.
The Telegraph is enlisting in it's service cv-
cry. year moro and more of the intelligent,
ambitious and enterprising of the youth OF
the country of both sexes. 1t is destined to a
yet mightier development, and it is impossi-
bic to forcsec to what extent the demand for
telegraphic labor may grow At the present
time there is no surplus of good operators.
BY means ofthe Nonpariel Telcgraphic APP
paratus every intelligent person may become
a telegraph operator.
In addition it will be found useful and en-
tcrtllnilT as means OF establishing COnlnu-
nication between the apartments and houses
of friends or relatives, and between places OF
business and residences.
A wire may berun at very small expense
and thus not only can reliable and inStanta-
neous communication be had at all times but
persons engaged in learning to operate will
be able to acquire facility in telegraphing
much more rapidly and agrecably.
Price OF Instrument md Battery, Con,-
plete, $40.
With each instrument is furnished three
cells of battery, chemicals for charging bat
terry. sufficient wire for office connections and
the instruction book.
Line wire (No. 12) per mile $50; Insulators,
including brackets 90 cents each.
These prices are but reasonable advance
on the manufacturers rates, to cover freight
charges and expenses.
O. Many of these instruments are in use
on Puget Sound and in Victoria, and give
universal satisfaction.

HOUSEKEEPING HINrs.-Never put q
particle of soap about your silver if you
would have it retain its original luster
When it wants polishing, take piece
of soft leather and whiting and rub
hard. The proprietor of one of the
Oldest silver establishments in the city
of Philadelphia says that " housekeep-
ers ruin their silver by washing it in
soap suds, as it makes it look like

ner, is blacker, more glossy, and more
durable than when mixed with any
other liquid. The turpentine prevents
rust, and when put on an old rusty
stove, will make it look as we'll as
new.
To extract ink from cotton, silk and
wooden goods, saturate the spots with
spirits of turpentine, and let it remain
several hours; then rub it between the
hands. It will crumble away without
injuring either the color or texture Of
the article.

HINTS FOR HoUsEKEEPERs.

As general rule it is most econom-
ical to buy the best articles. The price
il, of course, always little higher, but
good article always spends best. 1t
is sacrifice of money to buy poor
flour, meat, sugar, molasses, cheese,
butter lard, ETC.. to say nothing of the
injurious effect upon the health.
Butter that is made in September
and October is the best for winter
use.
Lard should be hard and white; and
that which is taken from hog over II
year old is the best.
Rich cheese feels soft under the pres
sure of the finger. That which is very
strong is neither good nor healthy. To
keep one that is cut, tie it up in bag
that will not admit flies, and hang in a
cool dry place. If mould appear on it,
wipe it off with dry cloth.
The best rice is large and has a clear,
fresh look. Old rice has sometimes
little black insects inside the kernel.
The small, white sage called pearl sage,
is the best. The large brown kind has
an earthly taste. These articles and
ground rice, tapioca, etc., should be
kept covered.
To select nutmegs, pick them with
n pin. If they are good, the oil will
instantly spread around the puncturc.
Keep coffee by itself, as its odor af-
fects other articles.
Keep tea in a close chest or can
mister.
Oranges and lemons keep best wrapped
close in q soft PAPER and laid in a
drawer.
When a cask of molasses is bought,
draw off few quarts, else the fermen-
tation produced by moving it will burst
the cask.
Bread and cakes should be kept in a
tin box or stone jar.
Salt Goldfish should be kept in dry
place where the odor of it will not affect
the air of the house. Fishskin, for
clearing coffee, should be washed, dried,
cut small, and put in paper bag.
Soft soap should be kept in dry
place in q cellar, and should not be used
till three months old.
Bar soap should be cut into pieces
of convenient size, and left where it
will become dry. II is as we'll to keep
it for several weeks before using; it
goes fast when it is new.
Cranberries will keep all winter in
firkin of water in q cellar.
