What Is a Defective FJue?

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial gives the following practical
answer to the question:
The question is often asked, What
is detective flue?' 1t is a fiue that has
open, upholstered joints in the brick
work through which flame or sparks can
pass into the spaces between the floors
and ceilings, or in which SCOT can accu-
mulate and take fire. If the joints in the
bricks Of the fue are carefully covered
with mortar, no joints built into or
touching it, and no floor or woodwork
allowed to come in contact with it, the
owner of such a flue can retire to sleep
with mind at ease on that score Safe
fues in houses built by contract are ex-
ceptions, as the contractor subjects TO the
bricklayer, and he does not feel respon-
sible to the owner, who gets defective
flue unless he stands by and bosses the
job. If he does not he must chance It,.
have had some eight or ten fiues built
for ovens heated to white heat, but
have always stood by to see that every
joint was we'll closed, as the first fiue
used fired the building. The last one
built was SO dangerous-passing through
a hay -foft--that, rather than trust it to
others, built it myself; and although 1t
made the loft unbearably hot, felt per-
fectly safe, and used it for three years
constantly. Another cause of frequent

Minute Pudding.--One quart OF
sweet milk, little salt; let it come to a
boil, then stir in good wheat -four; let il
boil five minutes; keep stirring to pre-
vent burning. For the sauce take a pint
of new milk, piece of butter size Of an
egg, two tablespoonfuls sugar, a little
nutmeg; make it hot but do not boil eat
very soon.
The Canaan Farmer says: A few
simple rules in the arrangement of flower
beds will materially enhance the effect
produced: /. Avoid placing rose-colored
next to scarlet, orange, or violet. 2. DO
not place orange next to yellow, nor blue
next to violet. 3. White relieves any
color, but do not place it next to yellow.
4. Orange goes well with blue, and vel.
low with violet. 5. Rose-color and purple
always go well together.
To Press Flowers Procure two
boards 12x18 inches and large lot of
old newspapers folded and cut TO the
size of the boards Lay upon the floor
one of the boards and on it place two or
three of the newspapers. Now lay on
the plant to be pressed, add another
newspaper and then the next plant, and
so on till all the specimens in hand have
been disposed Of On top of all place
the other board, upon which place a
weight of not less than sixty pounds
The papers between the plants should be
changed at least once a day for fresh
ones, so that the plants may dry as rapid
ly as possible. Care should be taken not
to remove the plant from the press until
il is Thoroughly dry. 1t is more con
venient, especially with the delicate
plants, to place them in the press be
tween single fold of soft brown wrap.
ping paper, as the plant can be left in
this fold till dry, and the specimen may
be transferred to fresh papers without
danger or injury. Very fleshy, succulent
plants can best be dried by immcrsing
them in boiling water before putting them
into the press.
-Rheumade.-When green currants
and gooseberries and the ripe summer
fruits come on, the rhubarb begins to be
neglected. Often the large succulent
stalks grow and decay in the garden,
which might be put to better use. A new
and excellent use for them Is in making
a summer drink after the following fash
ion: Pull the stalks and dress them, and
put to stew after the usual fashion. AS
soon as they begin to boil, drain off the
water closely and put by the latter to
cool. To this add an equal amount of
water, if liked, and sweetcn to the taste,
and you will have most refreshing
drink, quite as wholesome as the pie
plant stems used in any other way. 1T is
a veritable "ade,' not wine, called after
Rheum," the genuine name of the plant,
and is pleasanter to many than lemonade.
1t may be improved by flavoring with
pineapple juice. The rhubarb left can
have as much water added as was taken
away, and then when stewed for sauce

No songs are half so sweet to me as those she

No tales so well remembered as those re-

OF all the gentle, loving words with which my

Yet oft as look backward DER the long, long

How oft, in times of waywardness, grieved her

That sought another's grief to share, another's

But still in fadeless memories they are treasured

Those little golden threads of life her hands so
defty spun;
And often as in reverie they come again to mind,

fires is the careless use of matches. A
porter in a store sent into dark cellar or
upper story goes with lot of matches
to strike while hunting what he wants;
the match is thrown down; if it goes out,
good; if not, and there is straw, paper,
shavings, moss or rags lying around
loose, presto! there you have sponta-
neous combustion. Always take Ian
tern, and let it be a globe lantern, fed
with lard or sperm oil. In looking back
through business life in Cincinnati of
thirty years, l find that fire originated
eight times on my premises, all, however,
got under without calling out the en-
gines Only once was l burned out,
thanks to a neighbor. Once, defective

HIP-JoINT DISEASE CURED.
J. NJ. Robinson. West Grove Station, Iowa,
July IA, 1872, writes: My wife first became
lame nine years ago. Swellings wonld appear
and disappear on her hip, and she was gradu-
ally becoming reduced, and her whole system
rotten with disease. In 1871 swelling broke
on her hip, discharging large quantities, and
since that time there are several openings.

who say nothing will do any good but a sur
gical operation.
July Is, 1873, he writes thus: NY wife has
certainly received a great benefit from the use
of your great Discovery, for she was not able
TO get off the bed, and was not expected to
live week when she commenced using it, a
year ago. She has been doing most of her
work for over six months. Has used twenty
bottles and is still using it. Her recovery is
considered almost a miracle, and we attribute
it all to the use Of your valuable medicine.

After this exposure of the follies OF
superstition it may prove an amusing
confession on my part when | acknowl-
edge to having a tinge of the same
leayen in my composition. A special
instance in which this crops out is with
regard to ring which wear. and whose
appearance often consult with certain
weak faith in its indications. 1t was
given to me by crack-brained chemist
who ruined himself with drink and the
search for the philosophers stone. The
jewel it encircles was made by him IN
his laboratory, and he assured me it con-
tanned parts of the iron employed in
making certain famous articles that are
held in high veneration throughout the
world; sand from the Dead Sea, and clay
from the pits of Baradetha, on the banks
of the river Jordan; and ashes of the
bones of suicide-all cemented with
the blood of the chemist himself The
stone is certainly singular composition
in appearance and peculiarities. Often
find it grayish or black, dull and gloomy
to the apprehension. The lines on its
surface and the shadows in its depth are
hidden and almost invisible. Anon the
colors become light and lively as the
tints on fresh painting The green be-
comes glittering emerald, the brown
bright russell, the gray sparkles with in
Vulnerable points of stellated fractures,
the veins and flacculent clouds appear
floating in its depths, and the blood
marks are bright and clear as the Grim
son tide whence it had its origin. To-
day it is all brightness. But few days
ago it was as dark as the brow OF a
tempest. All its lines and shadows were
gathered into a thick gray cloud, and
the surface was black like the grained
texture of Grape. / did not like to look
on the jewel, for there was no hope or
comfort in its utterances. The sky was
gloomy, the rains descended, cold winds
were blasting all they touched, and the
demons of the storm held the glamour
of their might over the stone and myself.
| well know that the stone is affected
by the electrical conditions of my per-
sop so when | am bilious and the wealth
er is productive of melancholy feelings
the ring absorbs my mood and is as dull
as my own torpidity. In the sunshine
and brightness of my own vivacity it
takes from me the light and reflects the
warmth of my heart. Thus explain the
philosophy of this strange stone, yet a
latent faith in superstition makes me
wear it as charm.-i. Il. Mage, IN lip
