In his SEVENTEEN year, age and even

it may be said to have been only yester-
day that he cast his garland of loving
regret on the coffin of faithful and
devoted wife, he has the same familiar
jaunty gaint, the same glossiness of
head, and almost dandyish faultle 'sness
of attire, rs of yorc. Disraell is lin
questionably the most versatile rs well
as the shrewdest of actors who appear
on the political stage Of our British
cousins. Still as proud to be called Il
man of fashion as when Willis SAW hlm
at Lady BIessington' arraycd III bril-
liant colors and ostentatlOuS jewels, he
carries this social art of coquetry airIly
into politics. His smiles beam alike
upon the lord and the peasant. The
favor of his sallow aud curl-enframcd
countenance, his sircn-likc manner, are
shed with equal impartiality upon the
rustic of Hughcndcu, with whom he
hob-nohs amid hucolic bowers, and
upon the Manchester artisan, whose
horny hand he grasps with aniable
fcrvor; upon the brewer, whose beer he
praises, and upon the bishop, whose
rubric inspires his most fclicitous quo

passionate audsilvcry oratory. Disracli
is equal to any fortune. The feebler

the prospect of his return to power, the

cal Mark Tapley, and the more per-

The Spanish fort of San Juan de

Augustine, Fla, is the oldest fortifca-
ton on the Western continent still used
as place of defense. 1t covers about
an acre OF ground, and would accommo-

guns. 1t WAS begun in 1920, and COM

and the name of the then Governor, the
Chief Engineer of the works, and the

were two iron cages just large enough
to admit the body of man, and each
contained human skeleton. Who the

1t is essential to the brilliancy and
adhcsiveness of varnish that tn tenn
pcrature of the atmosphere in which It
is put on should be as high us can CON
veniently be borne, since, ut Il lower de
gree of heat, deposit Of the invisible
moisture in the atmosphere takes place
before the solvent i'll the varnish has
sufficiently evaporated. This may oc-
cur even on fine summer days, giving Il
milky, turbid appearance to the varnish,
which can only be avoided by bringing
the temperature artiticially up to about
seventy-nine degrees. The article
should acquire this temperature by
several hours previous exposure to it in
the shop, and should then he smoothed,
washed and rubbed dry with thamOis
leather or silk. All dust. dirt and
moisture are to be removed by means of
a brush of suitable size, with pure,
soft, firm bristles, the use of any kind
of oil or grease being avoided. The
varnish must be laid on with exceeding
care, dipping the brush lightly into it,
and beginning short distance from
the edge, and working by direct, long,
rapid, uniform sweeps of the brush, of
even pressure, to the edges and corners,
at each side alternately, until the film
has the thickness of paper. The article
should then be exposed to the sun, or
artificial heat, protected from draft and
dust, since cold or draft would darken
the varnish. In this latter case the
brilliancy and clcarness can only be re-
stored by thinly recoating the surface
with the varnish, and exposing il di-
rectly to the fire, 50 that the spoiled
part may be redissolvcd, taking care
not to put it so near that it will scale

USEFUL IMPORTATION.

USEFUL lNFoRMAIlON'
To clean silver mix two teaspoonfuls
of ammonia III a quart of hot suds. Put
i'll your silverware, and wash, using an
old nail-brush or tooth brush for the
purpose.
PRESERVING STUFFED ANIMALS
the flesh side of the skin with compo-
sition of one pound OF tobacco ashes,
one-half pound of alum, two pounds of
dry Stacked lime
In removing ink spots from delicate
colors, when axalic acid or chloride of
lime cannot be used without injury to
the color, n concentrated solution Of So
dunn pyrophosphate is recommended.
REMEDY FOR BEE SrINGs. Get n
small, heavy glass phial, with a ground
glass stopper have it filled with Tine
ture of Iodine. Shake well, then re-
move stopper, applying what adheres to
IT to the wound, being careful not to
drop any ON clothing, as it leaves bad
stain. Half ounce phial is large
enough.
MEASURING Corn. estimate the
any given space, level them, and meas
ure the length, breadth and depth :;
multiply these dimensions together,
and the product by four Cut off the
last figure, and you will have the num-
Der of bushels of shelled corn. II you
desire to know the number of bushels
of ears, multiply by eight instead of
four.
SALT PoRK.-For the benefit of those
who are obliged to use salt pork, the
following plan improves 1T wonderfully:
Cut as many slices as will be required
for breakfast the evening previous, and
soak till morning i'll sweet milk and wa
ter. Then rinse till the water is clear.
and fry. 1t is very nearly as good as
fresh pork. For change, rolling it in
corn meal is a good imitation of fresh
fish.
CHILBLAINs.- The Canada Medical
Journal recommends sulphurous acid
in this affection. 1t should be applied
with camel hair brush, or by means
of spray-producer. One application
of this usually affects cure. The
acid should be used pure. A good
wash for hands or feet affected with
chiiblains, is sulphuric acid, three
parts glycerine one part, and water
one part. The acid will be found par
ticularly useful in the irritating, tor
menting stage of chilblains.
