Household Hints.

ROASTED coffee loses its strength if
left uncovered. If you have no recep-
tacle purposely for keeping coffee, then
keep it IN a tin fruit can with the lid on.
This is very good substitute.
BLUE.-For two pounds of goods dis
solve two ounces copperas in hot water.
Work the goods, airing frequently, one
hour In the copperas water while warm.
Then rinse in clear water. Dissolve
one ounce prussiate of potash IN suffi-
cient water to work we'll; add one table
spoonful oil vitriol stir well. Then dip
the goods one hour, having the dye
milk warm. Rinse in clear water.
To Colon BLACK.-Make a strong so
luton of sumack wood and bark, and
dip either cotton or WOODEN gOOds-let
them lie in the dye twelve hours. Take
out the goods and add copperas, say
three or four ounces for five pounds of
goods; dip and air two or three times:
then add half pound of logwood ex-
tract and dip several times until the de
sired shade is obtained. Have sufficient
liquid to work the goods easily. Goods
colored in this way are not liable to
crock.
CURE FOR \ FELoN.-As soon as dis
covered, take some spirits of turpentine
in a cup, dip the finger in it, and then
hold the hand near hot fire till dry;
then dip it in again, and repeat for ff-
teen minutes, or till the pain ceases.
The next day, with a sharp knife, pare
off the thick skin, and you viii find
something like honeycomb filed with
clear water; open the cells and the felon
Is gone If the felon Is too far gone for
turpentine, oil of origanum, treated in
the same way, will cure. If too far adj
vanced for either to cure, the felon will
be benefited, as it will be less painful

Weight and Measure,

The American Agriculturist sensibly
says: g Now that the season for selling
has arrived, we would impress upon our
readers the necessity for accurately
weighing and measuring everything
they sell. There is too much guess
work done. Buyers are handling pro-
duce every day of the year, and they
weigh and measure all they handle.
They are well posted. Farmers are not.
When it comes to estimate the farmers
are beat. 1t is naught, it is naught,
saith the buyer. And farmers are too
easily persuadedby his pertinacity. Be
sides, farmers want the money and do
not like to lose a sale. so they give
way. There is no settler of disputes so
stubborn IS a good platform scale A
Fairbanks scale will save many words,
and much time and loss. Every barn
should be provided with one, and moth
ing should be taken out for sale until it
is weighed and plainly marked with its
weight"

The Back and I.oins Of n Horse.

When a horses back is short the loins
viii be found to be broad and strong
what is called good; a circumstance
arising from the circularity of the chest,
and the breadth of the hips-these four
formations, viz, shortness of back, cir
cularity of chest, breadth of hips, and
strength of Ions, generally being found
IN combination. 1t Is great matter that
a horse should have good loins, and
when these are associated with a long
back; aud the requisite length and sub
stance of his hind quarters, we may
take it Tor granted that the animal pos
scsScs both speed and endurance Look
at the hares and rabbits, greyhounds,
deers, and such-like animals and note
what thickness of loins, and length and
muscularity of hind limbs they all ex-
hibit; while the foreparr amounts to
hardly anything III comparative sub
stance. 1t is impossible that n horse
with thin narrow loins can last; the mo-
mont his feet sink, that moment he will
fail. 1t is the good loin that can-and
the only point that can-compensate for
hollownesS of back. When the loins are
good, not length, not even hollowness
of back, are to be accounted objection
doit points.
1t Is nonsense to pretend to prescribe
that the back should be long or short,
of this length or that; although we may,
In general way, fall in with the com
mon description of what a back ought
to be, and say, ''that, to be a good one,
it should sink little below (behind) the
withers, and then run straight" The

The Sabbath Bells.

The old man sits i'll his easy chair,
And his ear has caught the ringing
OF many church-bell, far and near.
Their own sweet music singing:
And his head sinks low on his aged breast
While his thoughts far back are reaching
To the Sabbath morns of his boyish days,
And mothers sacred teaching.
few years later, and 10! the bells
merrier strain are pealing,
And heavenward bore the marriage vows
Which his manhood's Joy were sealing.
But the old mans eyes are dimming now.
As memory holds before him
The sad, sad picture of later years,
When the tide of grief rolled DER him.
When the bells were tollng for loved ones
gone!
For the wife, for the sons and daugters,
Who. one by one, from his home went out,
And down into deaths dark waters;
But the aged heart has still one Joy,
Which old life daily blesses.
And his eyes grow bright and his pulses
Meath a grandchiLd's sweet caresses.
But the old man wakes from his reverie.
And his dear old face is smiling,
While the child, with his serious eyes, reads
on,
The Sabbath hours beguiling.
All bells, once more We will ring for him,
When the heavenly hands shall sever
The cord of life, and his freed soul flies
To dwell with his own forever

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


Potatoes of large size are said to be
produced by monk in France, by cut
ting two shoots from each stalk when
it is five to seven inches high, and set
them in good, rich, mellow garden soil.
IN a few days they send out roots, and
form tubers about as early and in as
large quantities as the original stalk,
while the latter does not seem 20 be in
jured by moderate pruning. The ex-
pertinent also seems to have been sue
cessfully tried elsewhere previously.
The plan may be found especially ser
viceable in the propagation of new and
rare varieties for seed.

Cataipa for Posts.

The Rural New Yorker says: The
fact that catalpa wood almost, if not
quite, equals locust for durability when
set for posts, has long been known.
The tree is injured by the winter in the
colder portions of the northern and
eastern states, but though put back in
its growth, it Will establish itself upon
good soils and grow well. 1t is one of
orr most ornamental trees, both for
bloom and for foliage; and on account
Of its rapid growth is a favorite in
lawns and along avenues. The annual
rings seen when the stem is sawed
across are often one inch in thickness,
and this gives the wood great beauty
when worked for furniture or put to
other uses. In the southern states it
thrives on good soils and viii run up
tall when planted close, which is very
different from its habit when standing
alone
