REMEDIES FOR BURys.-Tar gives i'm
mediate relief from pain as it excludes
the air from the burned surface. Lin
seed oil (unboiled) applied with a
feather also allays the burning; so does
finely carded wool laid thick upon the
wound. Arnica tincture diluted with
water is good for burn. An excellent
liniment for burns and scalds is made
by filling two ounce vail third full
of strong lime water and the remaining
two-thirds with sweet oil. This should
be shaken well before applying. A cor
respondent gives her remedy for burns
as follows Spread unsalted lard on a
cloth and sprinkle thickly with black
pepper, apply and the effect is magical.

THE DEPILATIoN OF HIDES WITH CHAR
CoAL.-It has been discovered that pull
verized charcoal applied to sheepskins
produces the depilation of the hair.
Charcoal, as is well known, has the
property to take up large quantities of
oxygen from the atmospheric air, and
the oxygen in this form seems to exert
a chemical influence on the fatty sub
stance present in the neighborhood of
the glands of the hair roots. An oxida-
ton takes place in the pores of the skin
which destroys the glands and loosens
the hair. Finely powdered charcoal Is
mixed with sufficient water to make a
thin paste, and the hides immersed for
4 or 3 DAYS and well turned over in the
meantime, when the hair can be taken
off at once. Hides treated with char
coal do not require further treatment,
as is the case now with the lime pro-
cess and after being washed with
water, they are ready for tanning. This
will be great advantage to the tanning
trade, as leather treated in this way
possesses more toughness, solidity, and
hexibility. The other advantages of this
treatment are great saving in time and
labor, each hide weighs to l pound
more, and has less spots, the work is
more pleasant and healthy, the splitting
with the machine is more easily accom-
plished, and the cost price is the same
as with lime, as the charcoal can be
used over again. Animal or vegetable
coal can be used in any quantity, having
no deleterious property whatsoever; and
for each hide or 10 pounds, with the
necessary quantity of water, are suffi-
cient. The temperature should be 61'
or 70' Fab, and can be easily main
tanned by introducing steam into the
watts. The tanning process is facilitated,
as no lime is left behind to neutralize
the tannic acid.

BE ALWAYS NEAT.-Some folks are
very charming at evening parties, but
surprise them in the morning when not
looking for company, and the enchant-
ment is gone. There is good sense in
the following advice to young ladies !:
Your every day toilet is part of your
character. A little girl who looks like
''fury" or q ''sloven" in the morning is
not to be trusted, however finely she
may look in the evening. No matter
how humble your room may be, there
are eight things it should contain
mirror, washstand, soap, towel, comb,
hair brush, nail-brush, and toothbrush.
These are Just as essential as your break
fast, before which you should make
good use of them. Parents who fail to
provide their children with such appli-
cations not ouly make a great mistake,
but commit sin of omission.
Look tidy in the morning, and after
dinner work is over improve your toilet.
Make it a rule of your daily life to
"dress up" for the afternoon. Your
dress may or ueed not be any thing
better than calico; but with ribbon
or some bit of ornament, You can have
an air of self respect and satisfaction
that invariably comes with being well
dressed.

TnaH,dAN's SAND BLAsr.@Some new
and interesting applications OF this in
vention were lately described at meet
ing of the students of the Polytechnic
College, Philadelphia, Pa:
Samples of raised lettering on marble,
also of ground uncolored and Of stained
glass ornamented by the process were
exhibited. Samples of thick plate glass,
perforated by the sand blast with well
defined holes inch in diameter, were
shown. The holes for the axles of the
glass plates of electrical machines can
be safely cut in this way.
The lettering of the block of marble
had been done by first grinding and
polishing one of its surfaces, attaching
the stencils Qetters of the size and
shape required cut out of plate metal,
and then blowing sand, by means of a
jet of steam, on the surface, until,
where unprotected by the stencils, it is
cut away to the required depth leaving
the letters in bold relief. The stone to
be cut is placed upon small struck,
and then removed backward and for
ward upon a horizontal table, directly
under the nozzle through which the
sand is blown. The nozzle, which
stands vertically over the table, has the
pipe for the sand, entering the upper
end, passing in the line of its axis, to-
wards its lower opening. The pipe from
the steam boiler enters through the
side of the nozzle near its upper end,
so that, when in operation, steam sur
rounds the tube through which the
sand runs. The latter is connected by
a rubber pipe, with box of sand set
about it. When cutting glass, the sand
is compelled by current of air from q
reservoir, kept under pressure by a
small blowing engine. In such case
the stencils need not be of metal. Rub
Der, and even thin muslin, will protect
the glass.

SALT RISING B2EAD.-Put three tea
cups of water, as warm as you can bear
your finger in, in two quart cup or
bowl, and three-fourths of teaspoon
full of salt; stir in -four enough to make
quite a stiff batter this is for the
rising, or emptyings, as some call it.
Set the bowl, closely covered, In kettle,
in warm water, as swarm as you can
bear your finger in, and keep it as near
this temperature as possible. Notice
the time when you "set" your rising I;
in three hours stir in two tablespoonfuls
of flour. put it back, and in five and
one-half hours from the time of setting,
it will be within one inch Of the top of
your bowl. 1t is then light enough,
and will make up eight quarts of flour I;
make sponge in the center of your
-four with one quart of water of the same
temperature as rising. stir the rising
into it, cover over with a little dry flour,
and put it where it viii keep very warm,
and not scald: in three-fourths of an
hour mix this into stiff dough if water
is used be sure it is very warm, and do
not work as much as yeast bread make
the loaves little larger and keep it
warm for another three-quarters of an
hour; it will then be ready to bake.
While rising this last time have your
oven heating; it needs a hotter oven
than yeast bread. If these rules are
followed, you will have bread as white
as snow, with light-brown crust deli
ciously sweet and tender.

How TO MAKE COOP CoFFEE.-Coffee

fully over, shake it in collander to
free it from dust, and rub it in cloth.
While roasting stir it all the time, the
moment the berry crackles and becomes
crisp to pulverize, it is sufficiently
roasted. Stir in a small piece of butter
the size of a walnut and put it steam
ing hot into an alright canister. For
making the proportions are one and
one-half ounces of ground coffee to a
pint of boiling water, or if you do not
like il strong use one ounce of ground
coffee to pint of boiling water. Put
your coffee into bowl with Just sutfi-
cient cold water to moisten it, beat in
an egg, shell and all, mix it well through
the coffee. Rinse your coffee boiler out
with boiling water, put the coffee in

boiling water. Let it boil fifteen min
utes. When it begins to boil stir it fire.
quently, and never leave it until the
grounds sink. Pour a little from the

NOT TO BE CAUGHT TwICE.--A good
story is told of a German by the name
of Schmidt who had taken the pre-
caution to insure the life of his wife for
$4,000, and the stable for 5000, believing
the former might die and the latter
might be burned, and he could not get
along without some compensation Tor
his loss. Both policies had been taken
from the same agent. In a few months
after the stable had been insured, it was
DESTROYED by fire. Schmidt quietly no
tilted the agent, and limited to him that
he would expect the nine hundred dol
lars at the earliest possible moment.
The agent at once sent q carpenter to
ascertain the cost of erecting a new
stable of the same dimensions, having
found that the property had been in
sured for more than it was worth. The
builder reported that he could replace
the stable with new material for $0OO +;
but unfortunately, there was an Ordl-
buildings-the old stable having been OF
wood. He was asked to estimate tho
cost of q brick stable, and reported the
amount at $3.50.
The agent then notified Schmidt that
he would build him new brick stable
in place of the old frame one; but
Schmidt became very indignant at tho
proposition saying:
81 tont't understand dis insurance
piziness. I bay you vor nine hundred
tOllars, und ven mine sthable burn down
you make me a new Won. toni want q
new sthable I want mine nine hundred
tollars!"
The agent reasoned with Schmidt, but
all to no purpose.
When the stable was about finished.
Schmidt went to consult a lawyer,
thinking that he could still get the
amount of the policy, besides having tho
new stable. The lawyer, however, in
formed him that the company had tho
right to make good the loss by building
new stable, and expressed surprise at
his desire of bringing suit against them.
Butt said Schmidt, Il inshure for
nine hundred tOllar, and dis fellar put
dem sthable up for seven hundred und
fifty. | t0n't understand dis inshu
rance piziness
Finding that he could not compel tho
payment by law, he became disgusted
with the insurance business altogether.
Calling upon the agent, Schmid DIT said:
" Mr.. Agent, want you to sthOp dat
insurance on mine vrOw. | tOn't pay
no more monish dat way. I tom under
sthand dis INSURANCE piziness."
"Why, Mr.. Schmidt" said the agent,
much surprised, "you are doing a very
foolish thing. You have paid a consid-
erable portion of this policy already,
and if your wife should die you would
get five thousand dollars"
Yaw, dat is vat you told me now,"
said Schmidt. "Ven pays you on m Y

lars if it was purned down. So it was
burnt, und you will not gvie me niue

SAVING Hank Monk
the stage driver who gave Horace, Gree
ley his memorable mountain ride, in
common with all his tribe, hates the
sight of those pOnderOus specimens OF
architecture in the trunk line known as
the Saratoga bandbox." He likes a
Saratoga about as we'll as cat likes
hot soap. He now drives on the stage
line between Carson City and Lake
Tahoe. He was driving on the same
line last summer. A Virginia lady VINO
was stopping at the Glenbrook. House
had Saratoga " at Carson WHICH she
wished brought up to the lake. 1t was
about as long and wide as first-class
mattress, and seven or eight feet high.
The lady had managed to get 1T as tar
us Carson by rail, but the trouble was
to get it I'D into the mountain. hank
had promised two or three times to bring
it up "next trip" but always arrived
without it. At last Hank drove up one
evening, and, as usual, the. lady came
out upon the verandah to ask il he ha6
brought her trunk. Like that great ana
good man, George, Hank cannot tell
lie, and 80 he said No, ma'am, | haven't
brought it, but think some OF 1t Will be
up by the next stage
"Some of it!n cried the lady.
"Yes; maybe half of it, or such mat
ter"
"Half of :" groaned the. Mortified
owner of the Saratoga.
"Yes; half tomorrow, and the rest
next day or the day after"
"Why, how in the name of common
sense can they bring half of it,"
"Well, when left they were saving
it in two, and y
Saving it in two! sawingsmy trunk
in two?" -.
THAT was what said," cOOlly an
swer@ Hank. 1.-TWO men, with q, big
cross-cut saw, were working down
through it-abOutin the middle think"
Saving my trunk in two and all my
best clothes in it! Saving it in the mid
die! God help the man that saws my
trunk And in q towering passion she
rushed indoors, threatening the hotei'
the stage line, the railroad company, the
town Of Carson and the State Of Nevada
with suits for damages. It was in vain
that she was assured that there was no
truth in the story of sawing-that Monk
was great joker; she could not be made
to believe but that her trunk had been
sawed in two until it arrived intact, and
and she had examined its contents most
thoroughly. 80,
Hanks" Saratoga" joke is still remem-
bered and told at the GlenbrOok House,
but the ladies see no fun in the yarn.
