To PRESERVE FLOWERS FREsH.-A
vase of flowers can be retained in fresh
ness much longer by using soapsuds or
soaped water-try it.
A COOP INK.-Take bichromate of
potassa one part, and extract of logwood
three parts /; add water, bring it to q
boil, and it is ready for use. In the
winter it must not freeze, though if it
does, boil it again and it will be ready
for use again.
For gravel in horses give two-thirds
of tablespoonful of saltpeter in a little
salt for three consecutive days; or take
pint of watermelon seed and boil In
two quarts of water till reduced to
nearly one-half, and drench two morn
ings in succession. Your horses will
be cured.
LINEN that is placed Immediately after
being ironed near the stove or in the
hot sun is sitter when dry than if it is
permitted to dry slowly. 1t is a good
plan to lay collars and small articles on
dry waiter and set them on kettle or
other support on the stove till they are
quite dry. A bowl of clear water and a
clean old linen cloth are useful to re-
move any specks the linen may acquire
before or while being ironed.
TAKING INK OUT OF LINEN.-Melt
pure tallow and cover the ink spot with
it while hot. After washing in the
usual manner, the stain will generally
be gone. If, however, some of the
blemish remains, a second application
of this simple process will effectually
remove it, and without injuring the
linen. This method has been found to
be decidedly the best among many
others employed for the purpose men
toned by laundry company of great
celebrity in New York.
THE following mixture will make a
very good barometer, it being very SEN
sive to weather changes Mix one and
one-half drachms of camphor, dissolved
in ten drachms OF alcohol, with forty
grains of saltpeter and forty grains OF
sal ammoniac to nine drachms of water.
This mixture should be placed in four
ounce vial with piece of cloth tied over
its mouth, and placed in good light,
out of the sunshine, where it can be OBJ
served without handling. When the
weather is fine the fluid is clear, but on
the least change the chemicals rise from
the bottom in beautiful crystals.
To RENDER posts or timber, placed in
the ground, practically impervious to
moisture, and for long tiSne prevent
decay, the following simple recipe has
been tried and found to answer the pur-
pcse excellently. For fence and gate
posts it is particularly recommended
Take linseed oil, boil it, and mix it with
charcoal dust until the mixture has the
consistency of an ordinary paint. Give
to the posts single coat of the mixture
or paint before planting them, and nc
farmer, says one who has tried it, living
to theage of the patriarchs of old, will live
long enough to see the same posts rot
ten. The posts or timber should be
well seasoned and dry when the paint is
applied.

Working i'm Hot AtmOs ,heres.

In relation to the subject of how high a
temperature men can endure and work
in, writer In the British Journal of
Science notes the following interesting
cases During the re-heating of fur
naces in an iron-wOrks IN England, the
men worked when the thermometer,
placed SO as not to be influenced by the
radiation OF heat from the open doors,
marked 100 deg. In the Bessemer pits,
40 deg. was reached, and yet the men
continued a kind of labor requiring
great muscular effort In some of the
operations of glass-making, the ordi-
nary summer working temperature is
considerably over 100 deg and the
radiant heat to which the worhmen are
subjected far exceeds 212 deg. In a
Turkish bath the shampooers continue
four or five hours at time In a moist
atmosphere at temperatures ranging
from los deg. to ITO deg. A case is
mentioned OF person IN the same es-
tablishment working half an hour in a
heat of 1S5 deg. In enamel factories,
men work daily IN a heat of over 800 deg.
On the Red sea steamers, the tempera-
ture of the stokehole is 145 deg, and
some men will labor there for half an
hour without drop of perspiration,
while others are carried out fainting.
These examples of continuous work at
lilo, 80, 40 and 145 degrees correspond
to depths in mines of 1850, 4, go, $3.50
and $3.50 feet. The author thinks.
therefore, that the limit of 1000 feet,
fixed by the English commissioners as
the extreme workable depths of mines,
is too small, and he considers 5000 feet
as safe boundary.

THE sea along the coast of Brittany
and Portugal abounds at certain seasons
of the year, with certain very small
but extremely delicate fish, known as
the sardine. These, cured by peculiar
process, put up Iii olive oil, and en-
closed In small tin boxes, have long been
exported to various parts of the world,
and everywhere regarded as a luxury.
A new enterprise has recently been
started on the coast of New Jersey, that
bids fair to furnish substitute for this
delicate little fish brought from the
other side of the sea. A company has
been formed for catching and putting
up a small fish which abounds on the
coast, but which heretofore has not
been utilized TO any great extent. This
fish is the menhaden, "moss bunker, "
or ocean trout. 1t is very timid fish,
migratory in its habits, and moving in
immense Z" schools" They move very
near the surface of the water, and are
caught by surrounding a portion of a
" school" with long net. The silly
creatures do not know enough to dive
beneath the net and escape. They are
dipped from the water and taken on
shore in boa S, when they are scaled,
cleaned, cured in salt, and then packed
in tin boxes. Sometimes thousand
bushels are caught at single haul.
Last year this company put up nearly
half million boxes of these American
sardines. This year, it is thought, a
much larger business Will be done.

THERE is much excitement in the

THERE is much excitement in the
neighborhood of Stenington, Conn.
where one infirm son of Mr.. Lang
worthy was killed and the other fatally
hurt by assassins during the absence of
the parents at church, on Sunday even
ing. The man servant, who was ar
rested for the crime, was seriously in
jured in the fray himself, and says he
was knocked senseless at the time young
Langworthy was killed. The marks
upon his head show evidence of having
been made by the same instrument that
dealt the deadly blows to the young
men. Suspicion is expressed that the
father of the victims was at the bottom
of the affair. He attended to his pur-
suit as milk-peddler the morning after
the murder, and does not show by his
acts that he is terribly cast down by the
event 1t is said that the young men
were below parintellectually and physic-
ally, and that their lives were insured
for large amounts. This is the SUBJ
stance of the gossip aaoat in the neigh
borhood.

"PUYcH" IN HIS GARDEN.-There was
a great stir in our garden the other day.
The potatoes were ready to Jump out of
their skins. The beet turned red to its
very roots. The celery lost their heads
and the cabbages their hearts. The
peas split their pods with excitement.
The asparagus could with difficulty be
kept in its bed. The parsley curled
itself up in a corner. The cucumber
alone maintained its habitual GOODNESS.
The cause of all this commotion was the
presence of q noted vegetarian The
potatoes never took their eyes off him.

A Sailors Sleigh.Ride

A sailor named John Bates yesterday
hired horse and cutter for turn
around the city, and he hadn't been out
over fifteen minutes when he came back
to the barn leading the horse and said
that the cutter was down there some
where" in about hundred pieces. He
didn't want to pay its full value, and be-
ing taken before Justice Potter he was
asked to state his case.

he rolled his quid to the other cheek, q

"Yes, sir, then he fluked. We passed
Point Betsey flying, and though saw
other craft taking in sail l. kept the top

steady"
"Do you mean that the horse ran

"Yes, sir, / do. / threw the wheel

handed over the money he remarked:
"Well, suppose can up anchor and

General News Summary.


washington telegram Of the Sd says it
xas known in diplomatic circles that Spain
had paid to Great Britain only part OF her
indemnity on account of the yirginius affair,
leaving the remainder and other questions to
be hereafter adjusted.
Several members Of the Brooks party in
the Arkansas controversy arrived in Wash
inoton on the night of the Sd, for the purpose
of presenting their case to Congress and urg-
ing a decision as to the validity of the new
Constitution.
The Supreme Court Of the United States
has recently decided that the Confederate
Government of the Southern States had no
existence except as conspiracy to overthrow
lawful authority, and that all contracts grow
ing out of purchases from it are void as
contrary to public policy.
A Washington Associated Press dispatch
of 9th the says it had been stated upon excel
lent authority that the Northern Pacific and
the Southern Pacific Railroads have made an
offensive and defensive alliance with the cot
ton tax-refunding schemers and intend to Sc.
cure favorable action on all their measures
Several months have been spent In organizing
this combination. The combined scheme will
have one ,f the most gigantic Hobbies ever
seen here"
In the Criminal Court of the District Of Co
lumbia on the 9th letter was presented from
the Attorney General, saying, in substance,
that the Government did not cons der 1t ad-
visabIe, in view of the fact that the Grand
Jury which had indicted Harrington and
Others defendants in the safe-conspiracy
trial. had been declared Illegal, to proceed
with the new trial at present. The Court di-
rected noile prosequi to be entered, and all
the defendants were discharged.
