Oiling and Painting Window Sash

ALL the window sash for our suburban
villa, which was erected last season, were
treated in the following manner: Linseed
oil was poured into large milkpan until
it was about half flied; then one corner
of some six or seven sash were stood in
the oil for half an hour or more, never
less than half an hour. In some instances
certain corners were neglected and al
lowed to remain during the night in the
oil; yet that was no detriment to the tim
Der. When the end of stile and tenon
of bar were submerged in oil for half an
hour the pores of the timber would be
thoroughly saturated, so that the sash, if
kept painted, will not shrink at the joints
so as to let in the water; but, before the
corners are treated thus, the sash should
be neatly fitted to their respective frames
and marked so that no refitting will be
required at some future time. When
changing the corners let the oil be wiped
off so that it will not flow down outside
of the pan. Oiling the corners can be al
tended to in connection with other duties.
One quart of oil absorbed by the corners
of sash will be worth many dollars in
promoting the durability of the timber.
| Before the glass was set we applied two
heavy coats of the best white lead and oil
paint A man can paint three sashes be
fore the glass is set sooner than one after
the glass is put in. Besides this, if the
glass is puttied in before the sash is
painted the putty will soon crack and
peel off in many places, and many of the
panes will rattle when the wind blows
furiously like the old and time-worn win
dows of some dilapidated and forsaken
castle. But when the rabbets Of every
stile, bar and mullion are well painted
putty will never peel off, and the panes o.
glass will be held so firmly that no furi
GUS wind will cause them TO rattle. Wher
window sash is purchased with the glass
puttied in the wood is never painted d
all beneath the putty, and the sash is only
whitened with thin coat of poor paint
turpentine and few drops of oil Hence
the cost of painting such window sash af
ter the glass is set will be double the ex
pense of painting if the work is done be
fore the glass is puttied i'm. Y. Her

Medical Value of Asparagus and Celery

A MEDICAL correspondent of an English
journal says that the advantages of aspar-
agus are not sufficiently appreciated by
those who suffer with rheumatism and
gout. Slight cases of rheumatism are
cured in few days by feeding on this
delicious esculcnt; and more chronic
cases are much relieved, especially if the
patient svoids all acids, whether in food
or beverage. The Jerusalem artichoke
has also a similar effect in relieving
rheumatism. The heads may be eaten in
the usual way; but tea made from the
leaves of the stalk, and drank three or
four times a day, is certain remedy,
though not equally agreeable.
SO the English paper says. 1t may be
we'll to remark that most plants which
grow naturally near the sea coast contain
more or less iodine, and in all rheumatic
complaints iodine has long been favor
ite remedy. One who was long in the
drug business told the writer some years
ago that many of the popular patent nos
trums which some disinterested people,
"solely for the good of their fellow
creatures" sold at "two dollars bottle"
consisted simply Of few cents worth of
iodine in solution.
1t is dangerous, however, in over doses,
affecting especially the eyes. The same
effect may be produced by eating abun.
dainty of asparagus or celery, which are
well.known seaside plants. If these have
no effect, the patent specifics will not, and
in that case conscientious and intelligent
physician is the best Revolutionary

Feeding Fowls.

The best standard soft food is ground
oats, If procurable; barley meal will make
an excellent food, and if mixed occasion
ally with potatoes well washed, turnips,
beet, or mangold-wurzel, so much the
better; this food should be given only in
the morning, and then warm, especially
in the winter season. Buckwheat as a
grain is excellent food, and when fowls
get accustomed to it eat it readily; so is
good barley and oats peas, beans and In
dian corn may also be supplied; but, as
already mentioned, to supply only such
wastes of the body as these materials are
capable of. Spiced food is frequently
recommended by poultry writer's; some
advocate the giving of raw onions at least
two or three times a week, with good
supply of cayenne pepper in their food
others advocate the use of different con-
diments, all of which are largely made up
of stimulants of various kinds. There is
no doubt all kinds of spiced food materi'
ally tend TO hasten maturity, whether 1t be

A Bit Of ROck-WOrk.

THERE is many shady nook and
corner in the vicinity of country homes
which might be beautified with very little
expense-northern exposures, where the
sun seldom shines, and which are left
bleak and bare because grass and flowers
refuse to grow. Any time harness the old
horse and start for the woods to hunt up
suitable material for what our English
friends term "a pleasing bit of rock
work" An unusually rough stone, all over
angles and uncouth projections, is prize

collect a supply of the unctuous leaf mold
which has lain buried beneath its cover
ing for many years, until it has become
as dark and firm as the most fastidious
plant can require. These things, with the
addition of some good sharp sand from
the creeks margin, supply the ground,
work for the structure. In arranging the
stones upon the heap of soil do not attempt
any mathematical precision; endeavor to
initiate some shelving mass of rock, such
as may be found in nature; the wilder
and more irregular in outline, the more
effective and appropriate 1t will prove

Writing for the Press.

FROM "Hill's Manual of Social and
Business Forms" by Prof. Thomas E,
Hill, new, original and very compre.
hensive book recently published by Moses
Warren & Co., Chicago, which teaches
how to prepare any written document In
correct form, we take the following on
Writing for the Press"-information
that will be of general interest to our
readers:
/. IT, unavoidably, a long article is written,
relating to variety of subjects, 1t is well to
break the sameness of the appearance by sub
heads scattered through the article, dividing
off the different subjects considered in the
composition.
g Write very plainly on white paper, with
black ink, taking care to write the names OF
persons, dates and places with the utmost
distinctness.
3. Use strips of paper about six by nine
inches in size, numbered in their order If more
than one be used. Very large sheets on the
compositor's case make 1t inconvenient for the
| type-setter.
4. Write on but one side. Thus, the paper
containing your communication may be, II
necessary, cut into parts, and distributed
among several compositors, who will place
your composition in type.
5. AS a rule, in short news-articles, never use
| the pronouns or you. plain, succinct rec
ord of the news is all that is required. II
necessary for the writer TO refer to himself, II
is better to say "Our reporter" or " The
writer"
6, Commence Immediately with the sub1ec
in hand and close when you have done.
The reporter should be truthful. In writ
ing of any event, great care should be taken
to state the actual facts. To do this, the re
porter should possess the energy to go to thu
scene of action, If possible, himself, and learr
the exact condition Of affairs. 1t is often un
safe to depend upon hearsay. The reporte
should carefully guard against allowing hi
own opinion to warp or bias his report Of tn,
sayings or doings of others, thus giving, al
most without his being conscious of the fact
an untruthful representation. A plain, un
vanished report should be made, and nothin,
else. Much discretion should be exercised il

The Illinois Farmers'--WentwOrth
Flagg and Smith.

FLAGG and Smiths convention at
Bloomington can hardly be called a sue
cess. In fact, Flagg and Smith declared
themselves that it would be failure if
certain resolution was adopted, and as it
tcdS adopted of course the prediction will
be verified. 1t is strange how Flagg and
Smith were prevented from running their
own convention, but they were. At first
everything went charmingly. There
might have been some one else present, but
no one would suspect that anybody was
around except Flagg and Smith. When
it was not Smith it was Flagg, and when
it was not Flagg it was Smith. In fact,
the proceedings of the forenoon session
could all have been told in a card con-
tanning something like the following:
Flagg and Smith convention callers and resolu-
ton tinkerers) prepared TO furnish the people
notice and on the most reasonable terms.
Look at the reports
The convention met at 10 O. m, and was called
to order by W. G. Flagg. A temporary organiza-
tlon was effected with flagg as President and 8.
ton present were: w. G.. Flagg, Of Madison
County, President; s. NJ Smith, OF Henry County,
Secretary In the afternoon permanent organi,
cation was effected, with the following officers
President, w. G. Flagg; Secretary, s. NJ. Smith.
Report adopted. Whereupon Mr.. Flagg made the
usual speech, etc.
There is enough of Flagg and Smith in
this to supply two or three ordinary con-
ventions.
But there came trouble upon these un-
selfish patriots. Long John Wentworth
was there They tried to exclude him as
a delegate, but they didn't exclude him.
Then they ruled him out of order when
he attempted to speak, but he appealed
to the convention and beat Messrs. Flagg
and Smith. Long John spoke. He
wanted no Close-communion concern.
He wanted all the industrial classes rep
resented in the proposed convention. One
Mr.. Boone gathered courage from the
bold words of his tall leader, and pro-
posed broad basis of representation. 1t
was adopted, and Smith threw himself
back with tragic air and cried: "You
have cut the throat of your movement"
Flagg would have echoed the cry but he
was in the chair and couldn't. II was ev-
ident in moment that another member
had been added to the firm, and that the
style would hereafter be Wentworth,
Smith q Flagg," with good prospect
of the junior partners soon retiring from
the business. The fact of the matter is,
that Long John cen be hereafter desig-
mated as the Farmers Association OF
Illinois," We have much confidence in
the honesty of the association, and al.
though he may not succeed in immedi
ately changing the politics of the State il
is satisfaction to know that the Farm
ers' Movement" lives, moves and has his
being in Chicago, and that in the next
convention we shall hear more of Long
John and less of Flagg and Smith. Mean
while the real farmers of Illinois are
laughing at the new combination and
wondering who next will turn agricul
turists.-Ohicago Inter. Ocean.

A Race Of Pigmies.

BAYARD Taylor, in letter from Egypt,
gives an account of the recent discovery
of race of pigmies In Central Africa.
Speaking of two who are In the care of
the Khedive, he says: 1.-THE little fellows
looked at me with bright, questioning
steady eyes while / examined and meas
ured them. Tubbul was forty-six inches
in height, his legs being twenty-five inches
and his body, with the head, twenty-fonr,
which is somewhat better proportioned
than is usual in the savage tribes. His
head and arms were quite symmetrical,
but the spine curved in remarkably from
the shoulders to the hipjoint, throwing
out the abdomen, which was already
much distended-probably from their
diet of beans and bananas. The head was
erect, the shoulders on line of gravity,
and there was no stoop in the posture of
the body, as in South Africa. Tubbul
measured twenty-six inches around the
breast and twenty eight around the abdo-
men. His hands and feet were coarsely
formed, but not large, only the knee-joints
being disproportionately thick and
clumsy. The facial angle was fully up to
the average. There was good develop.
ment of brain, fine, intelligent eyes, and
a nose so flattened that in looking down
the forehead from above one saw only the
lips projecting beyond it. The nostrils
were astonishingly wide and square

young or old, is a salve of fresh lard

twice a week. Two applications are
generally sufficient They are not in any

To Cook RICE.-The following is the
method recommended by the French
Academy for cooking rice during the
siege of Paris: Take one cup of rice and
onefourth of cup of water IN sauce
pan, cover, and place over good fire |;
after an hour the water will be evaporat-
ed and the rice cooked tender, but dry,
With grains distinct not in paste. Suffi-
;ient salt should be added in the first
place, and care should be taken not to
disturb the rice while cooking. By add
ing little butter, and allowing the rice
to dry little more ove~ a gentle fire, a
Boston Medical Journal says that rice
cooked in this manner, which is the same
as that employed in the East Indies, bears
the same relation to the indigestible paste
of the New England kitchen as does bread
| to boiled flour.
