Household suggestions.

EGGs should be curdled by standing
in hot water several minutes, not boiled
hard in three.
II a glass stopper is set, warm the
neck of the bottle in the flame of a
lamp and it can often be easily re-
moved.
If the hinges of door creak, put on
few drops of oil. And remember to
oil your washing-machine and wringer
every week. You will be surprised with
the delightful result.
To REyovATE velvet, wet a clean
sponge in warm soap-suds, squeeze it
quite dry in a cloth, and wipe the
velvet with it thoroughly; then pass
the velvet over the edge of a hot fiat
iron, the wrong side next the iron.
NEVER use enameled kettles for
everyday common purposes cook no
solids in them, for if the glazing comes
off they will poison the food. If you
clean your brass kettle before you set il
away, do not do it with salt and vine
gar-iust scour it with fine brick-dust.

For cleaning wallpaper, take piece
of wood of the shape of a scrubbing-
brush, nail handle on the back, then
upon the face nail a piece of dried
sheep-skin, with the wool upon il; or
flax or tow will do, or cotton flannel of
several thicknesses will answer very
well. Dip this brush into dry whiting,
and rub the smoke lightly with the
brush, on the upper parts OF the room
first, protecting the carpet with mat
ting or newspapers, as the whiting dust
is hard TO sweep of the carpet. The
whiting that remains on the wall is
easily brushed off with soft cloth at
tached to stick. IL is very effectual
if the room is not damp and the whiting
is dry.
To DESTROY cockroaches take dry
red lead mix with thin molasses to a
consistency of thin cream then take
pieces of glass and broken plates, etc.
spread it on about as thick as thin
window-glass Where reaches are very
numerous, give them plenty OF the
mixture, as they eat very greedlly OF It.
| think the general failure with roach
poisons is this-the poison is so quick
in poisoning the reaches that they will
not eat enough of it TO kill them. for
they are slow eaters The red lead be-
ing slow in its effect on them, they will
get good quantity into them before it
will scken them. ! have noticed when
any of them would happen TO be
trampled upon, it would appear that
they were entirely filed with the red
lead. Place the lead where the reaches
can get at it most conveniently. III the
lead should become too dry and hard,
mix little more lead and molasses with
the old to freshen it up again, and
place it in other places.

DISEASE IN PIGs.-Cough is common
in young pigs. where they are not pro-
vided with dry, clean, comfortable
quarters, and are not exposed to damp
ness or rains. The best remedy is to
obviate these defects, by purifying
their sleeping apartments, sheltering,
and making them clean and comforta-
BILE. Succulent food, tending to open
the pores, will contribute gradually tow
ard a cure. Good nursing is the best
remedy; but if the cough is attended
with costiveness, it may be well to mix
with the daily food of each animal a tea
spoonful of Epson of Rochelle salts for
a three months pig, and less or more
as it may be younger or older.
LAZY FARMERS. -IIazIness prevents a
man from getting off his horse to put on
the first rail that gets knocked off the
fence, and through his lazy neglect
whole field of corn is seriously damaged.
Laziness keeps a man from driving one
nail when one would do, and finally costs
carpenters bill for extensive repairs.
Laziness allows a gate off the hinges to
lie in the mud, or stand propped up by
a.
damage hundreds of dollars worth of
provender. Laziness, in short, is the
right and proper name for nine tenths of
excuses given for bad farming But far
the most prolific of the many wastes
that are due to laziness is the waste of
ignorance.

noying horses, but the right one has
not been found yet, unless Rochard,
French veterinary surgeon, has hit it.
His method consists of painting the in
side of the ears, or any other part
especially troubled, with few drops of
empyreumatic oil of juniper. 1t is said
that the odor of this substance is unen-
durable to flies, and that they will keep
at distance from the parts SO annoint-
ed. If this treatment should accomp-
lish the alleged result, 1t may perhaps
be equally applicable in repelling mos
quitoes from the face and hands of tour
lists and sportsmen, when passing
through woods or meadows.
SCRATCHES. Having recently become

feel that / cannot do your readers
greater service than by calling their

remedy. L allude to cosmoline. 1t is
the emollient principle of petroleum,
and is far superior, as an external APP

cuts and wounds, and IS, in short, of
universal application. Calls are rapid

Monday, June 10, was an important day in
the French Assembly, being the occasion of
the introduction of the Constitutional bill
prepared by the Left Center Cassimir Pc
reire offered the measure, and moved that it
be declared urgent. After heated debate
the vote was then taken on the motion for
urgency, and it was agreed to-yeas, 3i5
nays, 3i1. Urgency having been declared, the
bill was referred to a committee of thirty.
La Rochefoucauld then introduced resolution
in substance as follows which was read amid
profound silence 1.-The Assembly declares
that the Government Of France is monarchy
that the throne belongs to the head of the
House of France that Marshal MacMahon
may assume the title of Lieutenant of the
Kingdom" Great excitement followed the
reading of the resolution, Ia Rochefoucaud
moved that it be referred to the Committee
OF Thirty. The motion was rejected by ma
jority of 100 votes.
1t is reported that eighteen Carlist officers
have been shot at Tolossa Spain, by order of
Don Carlos, for mutiny.

THE LAST FIRsT.-Three hundred
and fifty years ago Pope Julius II.
undertook 70 settle the squabbles
among the royal houses of Europe and
their representatives at foreign courts,
by promulgating a complete list of
seniority, which all were enjoined to
accept and respect. 1t is a curious
fact that of the twenty-six titles named,
but three now exist III that original
form (the Pope, the Emperor of Ger
many, and King of England. The
Margrave of Brandenburg was placed
number twenty il the list. His de-
scendant now sits upon the throne of
Germany. The Archbishop of Austria,
twenty-one i'll the old list. has become
emperor, and the Duke of Savoy,
twenty-five, reigns King of Italy.

FARM AND HOME.
Farm Itakings.

God speed the plowshare! Tell me not
Disgrace attends the toll
OF those who pillow the dark green sod,
Or till the fruitful soil.
Why should the honest plowman shrink
From mingling in the van
OF learning and of wisdom, since
lis mind that makes the man
GOD speed the powshare, and the hands
That till the fruitful earth,
For there is in this world, so wide,
No gem like honest worth.
And though the hands dark with toll,
And flushed the manly brow,
II matters not, for God will bless
The labors Of the pillow.
4 MAN OF truth ana acquainted with
chickens describes in the NeaO England
Farmer certain sable ways in which
fowls are made to appear beautiful at
poultry shows. Imprisonment in Il
darkened room while feathcring, and
curling-iron, insure fair and wavy plum
age while trimming feathers, and
scraping and vanishing spurs assist
the artificial effect.
THE WAY TO SET HENS. The usual
way is to allow hen to sit where she
has been accustomed to lay. But, many
times, the nest is where other fowls go
to lay. AS a consequence, dispute
and rough contest will often occur for
possession, during which some of the
eggs will be broken. A sitting hen
should be provided with quiet place,
where nothing will melost her during the
period of incubation, and where she will
be comfortable during cold weather. We
have known hens to forsake their nests
when they had been sitting week or
more.

THE LIGHTNING.ROD MAN.

In Blossomburg, Penn, the other day, a
lightning-rod man drove up in front Of 4
handsome edifice standing in the midst of
trees and shrubs, and spoke to Mr.. Sum-
mers, who was sitting on the steps in front.
He accosted Summers as the owner of the
residence, and said:
81 see you have no lightning rods on
this house,
"No," said Summers"
"Are you going to put any on?"
"Well, l hadn't thought of ii" replied
Summers.
"You ought to. A tall building like
this is very much exposed. I'd like to run
one of my rods; twisted steels, glass fend-
ers, nickle- plated tips-every thing COM
plete. May l put one up to show you?
I'll do the job cheap"
"Certainly you may if you want to. I
haven't the slightest objection" said Sum-
mers.
During the next half hour the man had
his ladders up and his assistants at work,
and at the end of that time the job was
complete. He called Summers out into the
yard to admire it. He said to Summers:
"Now, that's we'll enough; but if it was
my house I'd have another put on the
other side. There's nothing like being
protected thoroughly"
"That's true, said Summers, it would
be better"
"1'n put up another, shall ~" asked
the man.
"Why, of course, if you think it's BEST"
said Summers
Accordingly the man went to work again,
and soon had the rod in it's place.
"That's first rate job,' he said to Sum-
mers, as they both stood eying it.
81 like such man as you are. Big
hearted, liberal, not afraid to put dollar
down for good thing. There some pleas
ure in dealn' with you. l like you SO
much that I'd put couple more rods on
that house, one on the north end and one
on the south, for almost nothing"
"It would make things safer, suppose"
said Summers.
"Certainly it would. I'd better do it,
hadn't 1-hey?"
"Just as you think proper said Sum-
mers.
So the man run up two more rods, then
came down and said to Summers, "There,
that's done. Now let's settle up.''
"Do what ?''
"Why, the jobs finished, and now I'll
take my money"
"You don't expect me to pay you,
hope9"
"Of course do. Didn't you tell me to
put those rods on your house?''
"My house." shouted Summers. 81
never ordered you to put those rops up.
1t would have been ridiculous. Why, man,
this is the court house, and I'm here wait
ing for the court to assemble. I'm on the
Jury. You seemed to be anxious to rush
out your rods, and as it was none of my
business | let you 60 on. Pay for it?-
Come now, that's pretty good"
The Blossomburg people say that the
manner in which the lightning rod man
tore round was fearful. But when he got
his rods off the court house, he left.
