BoYDELL's SHAKESPEARE When
Alderman Boydell, of London, undertook
some seventy-fve years ago to illustrate
Shakespeare's creations, he did so at the
expense of fortune of nearly four hun
hundred thousand pounds, and died poor
man, leaving nothing but the memory of
his work as a legacy to the British nation.
But what q work it was. In the list OF
artists who designed the originals were
seven or eight names, whose combined
talents made an epoch in the history of the
British school of art and produced gal
lery Of painted gems whose like was never
seen before or since.
To the art.loving public we have only to
say that the Boydell Shakespeare, repro
duced by the heliotype process of engrav-
ing, consisting of perfect copies of the
best originals, will soon be offered for sale
in this city by John Perry, esq, Richmond
agent, in twenty-five semi-monthly parts
at 81 each. When first offered to the
English. public in 1898, only the rich could
buy these invaluable pictures, for they
sold at 100 guineas apiece. Now they will
be within the reach of everybody. Mr..
Perry is the old and well-known agent of
English publications in this vicinity, who
has resumed business in his former line.

Mapping the Stars.

Some time ago the German Astronom-
ical Society divided the northern heav-
ems into zones of five degrees each, with
in which all stars up to the ninth magni-
tude were to be carefully observed twice,
and their exact positions recorded.
Portions of this important work were
assigned to the observatories in Cam
bridge and Chicago, that of Cambridge
being the zone between fifty and fifty-five
degrees, containing between seven and
eight thousand stars-a work that will
require several years for its execution.
The telescope used for this purpose is de-
scribed as marvel of mechanical deli
cacy ana ingenuity; it is nine feet in
length, with an object glass of eight
inches in diameter, and it is constructed
throughout of carefully beaten brass.
At each side of the instrument is a sys-
tenn of prisms and refectOrs, together
with graduated circles divided into
spaces of five degrees. The figures on
the latter are believed to be the finest in
the world, four delicate instruments be-
ing used in reading them. These prisms
and refectors are placed in glass cases,
and serve to carry the light from a single
flame to every point of the telescope
where illumination is necessary. By
this means the small wires in the eye
piece used for calculating the position of
a star, and also the graduated circles
from which the degrees are read by the
are brilliantly Lit up; while
another series of reflectors throws flood
of light over the recording table. The
instrument may be set eleven times in
the brief space of minute, at an equal
of degrees ranging from extreme
north to extreme south.

Force Of Imagination.

An esteemed friend of ours heard OF
the medical properties of certain spring
some distance from where she resided.
She had read pamphlet that enumer-
ated many diseases, from which she rec
ognized ut least half dozen with which
she was afflicted. To her great Joy she
was told that her son had to call at the
very town where the spring was located,
and fve-gallon keg and strict injunc-
ton were laid upon him to bring back
some of the water.
The key was put in the wagon, and
slipping under the seat was quite over
looked. He had got near home in the
evening, when feeling down under the
seat for something, his hand struck the
keg. He therefore drew up his horse by
the side of wall, near which was the
old sweep well from which the family
had drank for century, and filling the
keg went home. The first question put
to him was:
"Did you get that water?"
"Yes," said he, "but darned IL see
any difference in it from any other
water" And forthwith the keg was
brought in.
TIA cup was handed to the invalid, who
drank with infinite relish, and said she
was surprised at her sons not seeing a
difference. There was undoubtedly a
medical taste about 1t, and 1t dried up as
other water did, which she had always
heard of mineral water.
Her son hoped IL would do her some
good, and by the time the keg was ex-
6austed she was ready to give a certifi-
cate of the value of the water, 1t having
relieved her of all her numerous ills.

Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times Women call upon their family
physicians, one with dyspepsia, another with
palpitation, another with trouble OF the
breast, another with pain here and there,
and in this way they all present alike to
themselves and their easy-going and in
different doctors, separate and distinct dis
eases, for which he prescribes his pills and
potions, assuming them to be such, when, in
reality, they are all symptoms caused by
some uterine disorder; and while they are
thus only able perhaps to palliate for time,
they are ignorant of the cause, and encour-
age their practice until large bills are made,
when the suffering patients are no better IN
the end, but probably worse for the delay,
treatment and other complications made,
and which proper medicine directed to the
cause would have entirely removed, thereby
instituting health and comfort instead of
prolonged misery.

ham. 1t is much better baked, if baked
right. Soak for an hour in clean water,
and wipe dry. Next spread it all over
with thin butter, and then put it in a
deep dish with sticks under it to keep II
out of the gravy. When il is fully
done, take off the skin and matters
crusted on the flesh side, set it away to
cool.
To CLEAN CLOTH GARMENTs.-Wet
a sponge in warm water and squeeze it
out till nearly dry; then sponge one
place after the other until all the gar
ment has been cleansed. All the dust
and soil will be absorbed by the sponge
But If the garment is very much soiled,
wash the sponge in clean water several
times, squeezing il. as dry as possible, by
wrapping it in a piece of black alpaca.
This method of cleaning is more effectual
than hand-brush, and many spots will
disappear by the use of pure water.
TOMATO PICKLEs.-Take one peck of
green tomatoes; slice them thin; sprinkle
them with salt, and let them stand for
twenty-four hours; then lay them in cold
water for five minutes. Take one ounce
of ground alspice, one-half ounce of
ginger, one ounce of cloves, one ounce of
black pepper, one quarter pound OF white
mustard seed, two tablespoonful of mus
tard, two onions chopped up, and two
pounds of sugar. Put the tomatoes and
spices alternately in kettle cover with
vinegar, and boil till tender.-Country

A MIXTURE of oil and ink is a good

A PINT of mustard seed put in barrel

CLEANSING of all buildings and places

BELLS on sheep are said to have the

A SOLUTION of cyanide of potassium
poured into a wasp's nest will effectually

KEEP your hoes constantly bright and

In peeling onions put a large needle in
the mouth, half in and half out. The
needle attracts the oily juice of the bulb,
and any number may be peeled without
affecting the eyes.
ToADs are capital helpers in taking
care of vine patches. Lay boards be-

A SIMPLE remedy for removing freckles
is pint of sour milk, and small guam

Two teaspoonsful of finely-powdered
charcoal, drank in a half tumbler of

The leaves of geranium are an excel
lent application for cuts, when the skin
is rubbed off, and other wounds of the
same kind. One or two leaves must be
bruised and applied on linen to the part,
and the wound will become cicatrized in
very short time.
ALL sorts of vessels and utensils may
be purified from long-retained smells OF
every kind, in the easiest and most per-

with charcoal powder, after the grosser
impurities have been secured off with
sand and potash.

A HORN that has been knocked off a

sensitive surface until it has become
hardened.

A Child Strangled by a Cat.

A strange occurrence took place few
mornings since in the family of Mr.. Silas
Doloway, engineer in Babcock, Fuller Il
Co.'s new hat factory, who occupies j..
w. Canfeld's house on Mulberry street,
in this village. Mrs. Doloway is ac-
customed to leave her babe, little girl
four months old, in the bed up stairs
while she does her mornings work in the
basement, from where she could easily
hear the least noise. On the morning in
question, she heard the little one Growing
as usual, but finally noticed that the
sounds ceased, and shortly after heard a
strange, gurgling noise. Surprising that
the child had got its head under the bed
clothes and was suffocating, she ran up
stairs to see aboutit, and found the house
cat with his nose in the child's mouth. The
child was stranglcd black and was fight
ing feebly with her hands. She caught
the child and shook it several times,
when it caught its breath and came out
all right. In few moments more IL
would probably have been strangled to
death. Mrs. holloway had to pull the
cat off the child, so eager was it to re-.
main. 1t had paw on either side of the
child's head, and had its nose pressed
deeply into the child's mouth. The cat
was instantly killed.-Mddletoson (M
