which end ii is that eats till you set a
basin of grule near by, and then it

compass. Some men spends a lot of

no use except to eat and is best roasted

How TO IMPROVE CoRN.-A cores
pondent with regard to the improve
ment of the corn. says, "Plant early
on the ground you have. Plant but
two kernels to the hill, or at least let
only that number of stalks mature.
Manure literally, cultivate thoroughly.
This treatment will give a tendency to
produce two or more ears to the stalk.
Again, plant all such double ears.
Continue this for a number of years,
and the result will be new variety Of
corn. and very prolific"

''How WOULD you feel. my dear, if we
were to meet a wolff" asked an old
lady of her little grandchild, with whom
she was walking along lonely country
road. ooh, grandmamma, / should be
so frightened - was the reply. "But |
should stand in front of you and protect
you," said the old lady. "Would you,
grannie ?" cried the child, clapping her
hands with delight. THAT would be
nice /! While the wolf was eating you /
would have time to run away"

ACCORDING to recent Investigations
by NJ. Cailletet, the results of burning
sulphide of carbon, alcohol, and car
buret of hydrogen, under pressures
reaching thirty-five atmospheres, are
that the flame augments considerably
in brilliancy, while the combustibility
of the substance burned is notably
diminished.

THE yellow spots produced by nitric
acid may be removed from brown or
black wooden goods. while fresh, by re-
peadedly dipping them into a concen-
trated solution of permanganate potash,
and then washing with water. The
yellow spots on the hands may be re-
moved in the same way, the brown stain
produced by the permanganate being
removed by an aqueous solution of
sulphurie acid. Old strains cannot be
removed by any process.

SOME of the household recipes given
IN the papers are calculated to do more
harm than good. Mrs. Hopson's ser
vant-girl recently read in the paper that
potatoes should be of uniform size to
cook evenly" 1t was more than two
days before she found the meaning of
uniform" and then she went to work
on half bushel of potatoes. As she
couldn't make the smallest the size of
the largest, she pared down the large
ones until they were as small as the
smallest, and as the latter was about
the size of a walnut, she had weak lot
of potatoes by the time she had made
them of uniform size, and a quart
measure would have held them all.
The potatoes we're "short" for dinner
that day, and, as an explanation and
some very sharp words followed, Mrs.
Hopson's servant-girl now cooks pota-
toes of all sizes In one pot.

LONELINESS OF Coop TEMPER.-Is
she not the very sparkle and sunshine
of life "a woman who is happy be-
cause she can't help it, whose smiles
even the coolest sprinkle of misfortune
cannot dampen. Men make a terrible
mistake when they marry for beauty,
for talents or for style. The sweetest
wives are those who possess the magic
secret of being contented under any
circumstances. Rich or poor, high or
low, it makes no difference; the bright
little fountain of jov bubbles mp Just as
musically in their hearts. Do they live
in log cabin, the fire that leaps up on
it's humble hearth becomes brighter
than the gilded chandeliers in an Alad
din palace. Where is the stream of life
so dark and unpropitious that the sun
shine of happy face falling on the tur-
bid tide will not awaken an answering
CLEAN? +? Why, these joyously-tempered
people don't know half the good they

CURE FOR FEVER AND AGUE.-Take
boneset, wild cherry bark, and popular
bark make an infusion by adding a
quart of warm water; let it cool, and

cure for fever and ague. The writer
received it from an Indian, and found
it to be the master of ague.

Poisoned TO Death.

A healthy liver secretes each day
about two and a half pounds of bile,
which contains great amount of
waste material taken from the blood.
When the liver becomes torpid or con-
gested, it fails to eliminate this vast
amount of noXiOus substance, which.
therefore, remains TO poison the blood
and be conveyed to every part of the
system. What must be the condition
of the blood when 1T is receiving and
retaining each day two and half
pounds of poison Nature tries to work
of this poison through other channels
and organs-the kidneys, lungs, skin,
etc; but these organs become over
taxed in performing this labor, in addi-
tion To their natural functions, and
cannot long withstand the pressure, but
become variously diseased.
The brain. which is the great electri-
cal centre of all vitality, is unduly
stimulated by the unhealthy blood
which passes tn it from the heart, and
1t fails to perform its office healthfully.
Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning,
which are dullness. headache, ineapa-

REMEDY FOR CUTs AND ABRAsIoNs or
THE SKIN.-Take live coal, pulverize
it, apply to the wound, and cover the
whole with rag. The charcoal ab-
serbs all the seora.ions, and is antisep-
tic. Quinine in powder may be used
instead, as it possesses most of the siE-
tues of charcoal, and is. beside, astrin-
gent and tonic, and gives a white scab
instead of black one.

An OREGON butcher tells how to pre-
pare an alcohol barrel for the safe re-

move both heads and burn out the in
side. Then replace one head and put
in few pals of boiling water, cover
up, and let steam for an hour or two,
when the barrel is ready for use. "
Another correspondent cleansed an oil

in pailful of toiling water, adding a
pint of sulphuric acid, and after a
minute or two putting in the bung and
rolling about for short space of time.

HorsrHo1p SKELETONS. - I'll own
right mp in the start that my housenoio
has q skeleton in the closet. There
NAV be some households that haven :
one. but the majority will plead guilty:
Our skeleton arises from the fact that
have to be out late at night, and Mrs:
Quad contends that one can't De out
after nine o'clock without being after
some evil. Regular as clock WORK,
eyery night at midnight, when 1 enter
the house she raises up on her elbow IN
bed, and says:
81 wish there wasn't such q thing In
the world as q morning newspaper
used to sit down and try to show
her by figures and statistics that the
several thousand morning dailies IN the
United States alone are worth ever so
many million dollars to the public but

can't find it in the morning before get
up, and in five minutes am asleep and
dreaming of sitting in shady bowers and
listening to angels harps. There is
nothing like an honest conscience to
help one to dream pleasant dreams.
But. there was Alcott. Years ago, in
a thoughtless moment, he kissed his
hired girl. She was a poor orphan girl,
with q broken nose, and there was no
one else to kiss her. Alcott was, L verify
believe, actuated by purely sympathetic
motives, but his wife opened the door
Just in time to catch him, and his life

How TO TREAT CUrs.-In treating or
binary cuts, cleanliness and care are
generally more requisite than skill. If
the cut be extensive, or an artery vein,
or any other important part be injured,
it becomes a most important matter.
Accidental cuts from knives, cutting
tools, scytbes, etc, are more likely to
occur on the face and limbs than on the
body. All that is requisite in general
is to bring the parts together as ac-
curately as possible and to bind them
up; this is usually done by adhesive
plaster, when the cut ceases to bleed.
Nothing is as good for this purpose as
paper previously washed over on one
side with thick gum water, and then
dried when used it is only to be
slightly wetted with the tongue. When
the cut bleeds but little, it is well to
soak the parts in warm water for few
minutes, or to keep wet cloth on it.
This removes Inflammation and pain,
and also a tendency to fainting, which
a cut gives some persons. If the bleed
ing be too copious, ,daub the part with
rag wetted with creosote. III the wound
be large it should be sewed up. If the
blood that issues be very scarlet, it
may be concluded that an artery has
been touched, and then, whenever the
bleeding cannot be stopped, medical
aid must be procured +; the best method
to pursue is to bind up the wound
tightly or to hold finger strongly
against the part that bleeds.

USEFUL HrNrs.-In hanging paper,
first pumicestone the wall and wash
with size made of once ounce of glue to
gallon of water. See that the paste
has no Jumps and that the back of the
paper is covered with it for fully ten
minutes before hanging.
It is said that lining the walls, cell
ing, and windows of a cellar with four
or five thicknesses of old newspapers,
pasted on with strong size, will prevent
roots and other articles stored therein
from freezing.
Save the inner white husks for mat
tresses. Dry them in a clean, airy
place. No need to strip them fine. Use
them whole and they will answer the
purpose better than straw.
In dealing with furniture, remember
to keep water away from everything
soluble therein, oil from everything
porous, alcohol from varnish, and acids
from marble.
Water window plants with tepid
water, and wash the leaves often
A thick paste of strong gum arabic,
into which plaster of Paris is stirred,
makes an excellent china cement. Ap-
ply with brush and let the articles
stand three days.
Preserve eggs by quick dipping in
