WHAT Politics DID FOR HINT is
related that plain former the friend OF
Mr. CLAY, being solicited to become can.
didatc for the Legislature, called on the
great statesman and sought his counsel as
to the propricty of serving his country as
a maker of laws and records. my advice
to YOU said Mr. CLAY, earnestly, is TO
keep out of politics. They will trump up
oil kind of charges against you and ruin
your character But replied the honest
old farmer, they can't say anything a.
gainst my character. Everybody knows
that l have led blamcless life TRY IT,
added Mr.. CLAY, who knew how it was
himself, try it The good old gentleman
did try it, and before the canvass was over
he withdrew from it in very deep disgust.
Meeting Mr.. CLAY afterwards he was ask
ed what were his chances for election. Il
have withdrawn he replied somewhat car
nestly. DO you think, said he, fhey not
only charged me with stealing sheep once
but, what is worse, they came ID near
proving it; am done with politics.

MODERN ARCHITECTURE.

The last number of Applctons' Jour-
nal has a sharp criticism on our modern
style of architecture
"If New York were to fall into ruins
to-day, Macaulay's New Zealand
would search in vain five hundred years
hence for any traces of its present mag
nifccnce. There might be enough of
the piers of the Brooklyn bridge left for
him to sit upon amid the desolation, but
it is doubtful whether his eye would be
gratified with the sight of IL standing
column or a wall Our modern archi-
lecture may subscrve our wants, but we
must acknowledge that. as compared
with ancient art, it is of a very perish
able nature. On the Acropolis, the
Theseum, on which Demosthenes and
Plato looked, is now II museum of an
cicnt sculptures; and the Roman Pan
theon, which Pliny ranked among the
wonders of the ancient world, is used as
Christian church, after an existence of
nearly nineteen centuries. OF late years
we have erected few solid buildings,
but nearly all of our structures arc
shams Our brown stone fronts are
only vcneered, and nothing but contin-
ual care prevents them from resolving
into their original elements, while our
splendid business blocks are, for the
most part, thin shells of iron; vast
stoves, in fact, filled to the brim with
combustible material ready for the
match. We build merely for the pres
ent, and rarely for postcrity. Shall we
ever advance beyond the age of stucco
and erect our Theseum and our Pan
theon?"

in vain, | sncaked out of a side door,
and crept dciectcdly home, my heart

CLOTHES on FIRE.

Three persons ont 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 scize blanket
or any wooden fabric-if none is at
hand, take any woolcn material-hold
the corners as far apart as you can,
stretch them out higher than your head,
and rnnning boldly to the person, make
a motion of clasping i'll 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 immcrse 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 flour re-
main until it falls off of itself, when n
beautiful new skin can be found. I'm
less the burns are deep, no other appli-
cations are needed. The dry flour for
burns is the most admirable remedy ever
proposed, 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
iured parts.-.Scicntifc Anterican.
