USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.


ANY hard steel tool VIII cut glass with
great facility when kent freely wet with
camphor dissolved in oil of turpentine.
A drill-bow may be used, or even the
hand alone. A hole bored may be read
lily enlarged by a round file. The ragged
edges of glass vessels may also be thus
easily smoothed by fiat file. Flat win
dow-glass can readily be sawed by
watch-spring saw byaid of this solution.
In short, the most brittle glass can be
wrought almost as easily as brass by the
use of cutting tools kept constantly moist
with camphorizcd oil of turpentine.
GIVE THEM CoLD WATER.-It is very
doubtful If there is single possible
disease in which the patient should not
have cold water Gd libitum Oh how
babies often suffer for cold waterl A
nursing baby Is given, no matter how
thirsty, nothing but milk. The little
lips are dry and cracked, and the little
tongue so parched it can scarcely nurse,
and yet it has nothing but milk to as
suage its craving thirst. Try II yourself,
mother, when you have fever, and we
are sure that ever after, when your dar-
ling is dying with thirst, the teaspoon
and tumblcr of cold water will be in
constant use.-Rudl Ne,o Yorker.
How TO MAKE BLACK PAINT.-Ihe
most economical and satisfactory black
paint we have ever used for iron work
was by mingling about two quarts of
coal tar with pint and half of benzole,
which was laid on with paint brush.
This makes an excellent varnish for
rough work; it could not be recon-
mended, however, as fine varnish for
any inside work Three years ago the
iron fence and iron balustrade and hand
rails on our front steps were covered with
such varnish, while the iron-work OF
adjoining neighbors had been painted
every year with oil and lamp-black and
varnish.' At the present time our fence
looks much the best, and scarcely needs
painting, while theirs really needs q coal
of paint. A paint made of coal tar and
| benzole will be found excellent foi
| smearing the iron work of farm imple
ments. AS benzole is somewhat volatile
no more paint should be prepared at one
time than will be used immediately

IT is almost impossible to get horse
shod without having the frog cut away
All veterinary surgeons, all horsemen
all leading blacksmiths, agree that thC
frog should not be pared one particle
| nor even lTlulIneU. NO matter now plla
bic and soft the frog is, cut it away
smooth on all sides, and in two days /
will be dry and hard as n chip. Yol
might as well cut all the leaves off tree,
and expebt them to flourish as to par,
away the frog and have healthy foot
The rough, spongy part of the frog is t
the foot what leaves are to the trce-th,
lungs. Never have red-hot shoe pu
upon the foot to burn it level. If yol
can find blacksmith that is mechanic
enough to level the foot without red-ho
iron, employ him. If you do not thinl
SO, try the red-hot poker on your finger
nail and see how it will affect the growtl
of that. There are many other importan
points in shoeing horses, but these tw,
are of more Importance than all the rest
level to the apprehension of men no
skilled in horses, and yet the two mos
disregardcd.- Young Rolls Rural
