P0sTPONEMENT OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
GIFT CONCERT.

1t will be seen by the card of Gov.
Bramlette in our advertising columns
that the Fourth Gift Concert of the
Public Library of kentucky, an
nounced for December 3, has been post
pOned until March 81. The reasons
for this postpOnement, which no doubt
had already suggested themselve s to
the public mind, are clearly and sue
cinctly stated by Gov. Bramlette. They
are, in brief, the financial troubles
Throughout the land, the yellow fever
epidemic I'm the South, and the general
impression prevalent that these causes
would compel the postponement now
announced. Notwithstanding these
drawbacks the result has certainly been
surprising. The manager now has ex-
ceeding a million of dollars on deposit
in the Farmers and DrOvers' Bank,
and, although a Withdrawing was
practicable, yet it was deemed more
satisfactory to have q short postpone
ment, and thus secure Il full drawing.
The business of the office the last
few days has been simply enormous.
Upwards of $500 letters per day has
been received through the postoffice,
and on Saturday nearly one hundred
thousand dollars in cash were deposit
ed in bank. On yesterday nj hundred
and thirty-six money packages were
received by express, and Ill registered
and over 1000 other letters came by
mail, containing in the aggregate CON
siderably " IN hundred thousand
dollars! q SO. Bt
That the postponement will be gen.
orally approved, and that it will result
in a full drawing March 81, we pre-
sumo car not be doubted. That it will
occur at the time named may be re-
garded as certain as fate.

WHAT TO Do IN CASE OF ACCIDENT
Prof. Wilder of Cornell University, gives
the following short rules for action in cases
of accident, which it will be found useful
to preserve or remember:
For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing !;
dash water into them; remove cinders,
etc., with the round point of lead pencil.
Remove water from the ear by cold wa
ter; never put hard instrument into the
ear.
II any artery is cut, compress above the
wound; if a vein is cut, compress below.
If choked, get upon all fours, and cough.
For slight burns, dip the part in cold wa
ter if the skin is destroyed, cover with
varnish.
Smother fire with carpets, ETC.. water
will often spread burning oil, and increase
danger. Before passing through smoke,
take full breath and then stoop low but
if carbonic acid gas is suspected walk
erect.
Suck poisoned wounds, unless your
mouth sore enlarge the wound, or better
cut out the part without delay; hold the
wounded part as long as can be borne 10 a
hot coal or end OF cigar.
In case of poisoning, excite vomiting by
tickling the throat or by warm water and
mustard.
For acid poisons. give alkalis; for aka
line poisons, give acids-whte of egg is
good in most cases in case Of opium poi
soning give strong coffee and keep NOV
ing.
If in water, float on the back. with the
mouth and nose projecting.
For apoplexy, raise the head and body
for fainting lay the person fiat.

A FARMERS EARTH CLosET.-A cores
pondent of thee ountry Gentleman tells how
he manages to save night-soil, as follows:
On my back porch, which is p feet above
the ground, / built a simple enclosure,
open at the top, u feet high, with door.
In this put seat with two openings, cut
ting away the floor entirely beneath the
seat. In this enclosure ] have a box TO
hold the dry earth, and an iron scoop TO
handle the earth. / cut an iron hoped
whisky barrel into two tubs, so as to leave
two handles to each, like any other tub.
These are slipped under the porch beneath
the seat, and catch the droppings. When
necessary, wheel barrow conveys them
and the contents TO a shed, under which
they are emptied. About three inches of
dry earth is thrown into each, and they are
then replaced beneath the closet. Not the
slightest smell arises from it, and it Is al
most as convenient as If in the house any
one can make it who has the least knowl-
edge of tools. The whole cost was not $40,
including lumber, etc. In the garden, the
back part of the building is open as high as
the seat, as is generally the case. L hung
a board with hinges to close the upper part
Of this opening, and placed another below
ii ; and drove couple of stakes in the
ground TO hold 1t in place; this closed the
opening. threw in about six inches in
depth of dry earth and put box with the
same in the building, with scoop TO use
it. This answers perfectly, and requires
with mel clearing out only once year.
From the two, got two and half wagon
loads of excellent manure for my vegeta-
bles last spring-the accumulations for one
year, family three persons. Back of my
kitchen l have a board pen, twelve feet
square by four feet high. In this / first
put one foot in depth of muck all the ash
es, soapsuds, chamber slops, etc., are put
there, and more muck added as required.
From that got 45 carloads last spring.
There was no annoyance from ii, as the
muck absorbs all. l use muck also in the
earth closets, because / have II in album

THE VALUE OF FRAGMENTs.--The New
ark, N. j., Daily Advertiser recently gave
some striking facts showing the value of
little things. 1t states that one of the jew
elry manufacturers of that city (Alling
Bros. & Coz recently put down new floor
ing in their workshops, and that the gold
they obtained in burning the old flooring
not only paid for the new one, but for put
ting two coats of paint on The entire factory.
In another Garter, Howkins & Dodd), the
hands all work on a sort of bracket stand
ing out from the bench in front OF them, so
that the filings of gold may fall on tin
plate below, and be ret urned to the melting
room. The greatest care is exercised TO
prevent waste. The floors, benches and
seats are carefully swept every evening,
and the sweepings put away to have the
gold removed from them by chemical pro-
cess. Every now and then aprons, bench
es, stools, and even the flooring, are burnt
TO get the gold out of them. Even brushes
clothes, cotton, wool and rags are burned
The average quantity of gold saved annual
ly in this way in the factory is about $4,000
worth. All the water in which the five
hundred employees wash their hands is
carefully filtered four times, and the a.
amount of gold recovered from it averages
about $4,000 year. A barrel of sweep
ings will average four dollars and a hal
a pound; and even after they have, as
they think, extracted all the gold from
from them, they sell the refuse to the
smelters at nine cents and even as high a'
eleven cents pound.

If YOU ARE NOT a RAILROAD MAN
DON'T TRY IT.-There is good deal of CEN
sure of the custom of jumping off and on
cars when in motion. 1t is righteous con-
demnation, but it is not consistent when
coming from railroad companies. If they
truly desire a reform they must bcgin at
home, for as long as employees will ithnp
on the train when in motion, and persist
in doing it as gracefully as they do, an i'm
itatve public will be the sufferers. People
don't jumpon a train before it stops because
they are in hurry, but because they have
seen brakeman or a conductor do it, an d
have terrible dread of being surpassed.
Now, at the station the other day, Conduct
or Phillips of the Eastern train, after Civ
ing the word to start, waited until the last
car reached him, and then raising one hand
to the rail and one foot gently from the
earth he swung majesticaly around and
was at once firmly on the car. Mr.. Phillips
weighs two hundred pounds, but there
was such grace and poetry in his motion
that he seemed to blend with the car. First
there were yellow paints, and then gold
leaf and maroon and Phillips. There was
an elderly person who saw Phi .ris,
and his eyes glistened with .,.-~ a., i.
He was going on the Western train, and
when 1t came along he waited until a fine
rate of speed was gained, and then raising
his hand and leg, just as he had seen Phil
lips do, and looking carelessly away, just
as Phillips did, he reached out for the rail
and the next instant was trying to push
his head through the platform planks,
and fighting the air with his heels and
madly paving round with his hands, and
swearing and praying at an awful rate.
They stood him up on his feet and rubbed
his head with some snow, bat it was long
while before they could convince him that
the locomotive had not exploded. DdnJuyg

How TO CURE A CoLD.-One of our cit-
cold on the lungs, effected his recovery In
the following simple manner: He boiled
little boneset and hoarhound together, and
drank freely of the tea before going TO bed.
The next day he took five pills, put one
kind of plaster on his breast, another under
his arms, and still another on his back.
Under advice from an experienced old
lady he took all these of with an OYSTER
knife in the afternoon and slapped on
mustard paste instead. His mother put
some onion drafts on his feet and gave him
Il lump of tar TO swallow. Then he put
some hot bricks to his feet, and went TO
bed. Next morning another old lady came
in with bottle of goose oil, and gave him
dose of ii in quill, and an aunt arrived
about this time from Bethel with a bundle
of sweet fern, which she made into a tea,
and gave him every half hour until noon,
when he took a big dose of salts.
After dinner his wife, who had seen fine
old lady of great experience in doctorng,
on Franklin street, gave him two pills of
her make, about the size of an English
walnut and Of similar shape, and two
tablespoonsful of home made balsam to
keep them down. Then he took half
pint OF hot rum at the suggestion of an old
sea-captain in the next house and steamed
his legs with an alcohol bath. At this
crisis two of the neighbors arrived, who
saw at once that his blood was out of order,
and gave him a half gallon of spesrment
tea and big dose of castor OIL Before GO
ing TO bed he took eight of a new kind of
pill, wrapped about his neck a flannel
soaked in hot vinegar and salt, and had
feathers burnt on shovel in his room.
lie is now thoroughly cured and full of
gratitude. We advise our readers 10 cut
this out and keep It where il can readily be
found when danger threatens Ddnbmy

finally result in the laying by of the article
of furniture as worthless. Where screws
are driven into the wood for temporary
purposes, they can be removed much easi-
err by dipping them in oil before inserting.
When buying screws, notice what you are
getting; for there are poor as well as good
kinds. See that the heads are sound and
well cut that there are no flaws in the
body or thread part and that they have
good gimlet points. A screw of one make
will drive into oak as easy as others into
pine, and endure having twice the force
brought against it.-Ohio Farmer.
