frugality. Let US be more frugal in
the future than we have ever been
in the past, and hopefully look for
ward to the good time. coming. Let
us clear our fields and farms of all
rubbish and let US newly repair our
fences. Let us, as soon as possible.
have pastures, and plant largely of
the cereals, and raise our own stock
OF horses, mules, cattle, sheep and
hogs, aud save our own meat. Let
US, as fast as possible, pay up all old
debts, and frm Y resolve not to make
any new ones. Let us be Just to our
creditors, and compromise with them
and each year pay part of what we
owe each one of them; bv this course
we will avoid all litigation and be
happier at the end of each year, as
the time approaches when we can
say, 1--WE owe no man ANYTHING"
Let us repair our houses and gardens
ana encourage our wives and our
daughters to plant flowers and shrub
berry and everything that has a ten
dency to beautify our homes and make
ourselves and our children love our
homes and be contented and happy.
Allow ME again to thank YOU for
the honor you have conferred on me.

DANCERS OF RFN1Jyr Cco,-,r~-,

DANGERS OF BENZIYE SCoURING,-
VI. Dumas, at recent meeting of the
French Academy of Sciences, stated
that, in examining the process of
securing fabrics as usually practiced
by cleaners Of old clothes washing
in benzine), he had discovered a novel
and dangerous cause of fire. Work
men, engaged in this industry had
frequently complained of the beuzine
becoming infamed during the scrub
bing; and in order to test the ques-
ton, NJ. Dumas caused q piece of
cashmere to be dipped iu for a length
of Is feet. Every time the stuff par
tally emerged from the bath, while be-
ing rubbed between the hands, sharp
pricking sensation upon those mem
bers and on the face was felt and
finally sparks were emitted from the
fabric, sufficient, if the scOurig had
been briskly contiued, to have ignited
the inflammabe fluid.

TREATMENT OF HEADAcHE.-Dr. l..
Brunton, in a paper "On the Action
of Purgative Medicines" recently
published in The Practitioner, writes !:
"The administration of brisk purga-
tive, or small dose of epson salts,
thrice day, is most effectual remedy
for frontal headache when combined
with constipation but if the bowels
be regular, the morbid processes on
which it depends seem to be checked,
and the headache removed even more
effectually by nitro hydrochyric acid
or by alkalieS, given before meals. If
the headache be imu ediately above
the eyebrows, the acid is best; but if
it be little higher up, just where the
bair begins, the alkalies appear to me
to be more effectual. At the same
time that the headache is removed,
the feeling of sleepiness and weari-
ness, which frequently leads the
patients to complain that they rise up
more tired than they lie down, gener-
ally disappears"

JAPANESE BRoNZE.-A curious
bronze is produced in Japan, which,
when made in thin plates, resembles
slate, and is covered with designs in
silver. NJ. NORM has lately analysed
and examined the properties of the
alloy, and finds that it contains, in ad-
dltlon to copper, from to 5 per cent
OF tin, and on an average 10 per cent
OF lead. The combination is easily
moulded into thin plates. These are
varnishrd, and through the covering
the designs are scratched with aburin.
The plate is then plunged in a silver
bath, when the silver is deposited on
the unprotected portions. Lastly, the
plate is placed in a muflle furnace.
when the copper blackens and the sill
yer remains bright.

into heaps against the fences, in the

may be gathered up with very little

are convenient for many purposes, be-
