TESTING WOOL.
To test the quality of wool, take a
lock from the sleeps back, and place 1t
ON a measured inch. If the spirals count
from thirty to thirty-three In the space
of an inch. it equals the finest Electoral
or Saxony wool grown. The diminution
of the number of folds to the inch shows
the inferiority.
GLUE TO RESIST FIRE.
The London Furniture Gazette gives
this recipe Mix handful of quick
lime in four ounces of linseed oil boil
to good thickness, then spread on
plates in the shade and it will become
exceedingly hard, but may be easily dis
solved over the fire, and used as ordin-
ary glue. 1t resists fire after being used
for glueing substances together.
TO CLEAN LOOKING GLASSES.
Take a newspaper, fold it small, dip it
in a basin of cold water. When thor
oughly wet, squeeze it out as you would
sponge; then rub it over tle surface of
the glass, taking care that 1t is not SO
wet as to run down i'll streams; III fact,
the paper must only be completely moist
ened, or dampened, all through. Let 1T
rest a few minutes, then go over the
glass with fresh newspaper, TIL it looks
clear and bright The insides of win
dows may be cleaned in the same way;
also spectacle glasses, lamp glasses, etc.
White paper that has not been printed
on is better; but in the absence OF that n
very old newspaper, on which the ink
has become thoroughly dried, should be
used. Writing paper will not answer.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF ACCIDENT.
Prof. Wilder, of Cornell University,
gives these short rules for action in case
of accident:
For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing;
dash cold water in them; remove cinders,
etc, with the round point of lead pen
ell.
Remove insects from the ear by tepid
water. Never put n hard instrument
into the ear.
If an artery IL cut, compress III above
the wound; if vein is cut compress it
below.
If choked, go upon all tours and cough.
For slight burns, dip the part i'll cold
water; if the skin is destroyed, cover
with varnish.
For apcplexy, raise the head and
body; for fainting, lay the person fiat.
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES RECOGNIZED BY
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1875-12-03
The War i'm Liberia.

The troubles on the Liberian frontier
seem to have originated with English
traders, who stirred up the natives to
quarrel and fight with the Liberians.
The traders are said to be irritated by
the enforcement of law of the Liberian
Republic which requires the payment of
custom dues on all goods intended for
the interior. 1t is not the first time that
a controversy has arisen on the same
subject. In 1913. before the present
system of government in Liberia had
been organized. British coast traders
were in the habit of landing goods with
out paying custom dues. The goods
were seized by the Liberians, and when
Great Britain complained to the United
States, the reply was that Liberia was
responsible for her own actions. The
Republic was soon after organized, and
it's independence recognized by Great
Britain and other powers.

A SIMPLE EGG TESTER.
To test the freshness or the fertility of
an egg without breaking it, all that is
necessary is to "look into it with q
strong light. A simple continuance for
doing this easily and effectively is de-
scribed in the Pet Stock and Poultry
Bulletin as follows : 1t is made of a
stiff piece of paper Ozark color preferred),
five inches long, six inches wide at one
end, and four and one-quarter at the
other. This Is rolled and joined together
with lap of half an inch by either paste
or a needle and thread. With this sim
pie instrument the eggs can be examined
at any time of day, and under any or
binary light. 1t is not necessary to have
very strong light, as is required by
other methods. We regard it as much
the best article for the purpose we have
yet seen. Its use is like telescope

hold the egg at or in the larger. A per-
fectly fresh egg, examined by the tester,
will appear clear and light stale egg
is Opaque and dark. An egg that has
been set on for three days, if fertile,
should show small dark spot on one
side near the large five cent nickle, quite
dark at the center, and shading of
lighter toward the edges. If, after be

Tho point to which we now call
attention is that our farmers and
fruit-growcrs have ignored, or
rather been ignorant Of the import
ance of wood ashes as vegetable
stimulant, and as the leading con
stituont of plants. Even coal ashes
now thrown away as useless, have
been shown, both by experiment
and analysis, to possess fair share
of alkaline value. We will relate
only one experiment; Some twenty
five years ago we treated an ola

hollow, to the hcighth of eight feet,
was filled and rammed with n com.

and little waste lime (carbonato).

Tho Education OF Editors.

Journalism has come to be recog-
nized as one of the learned professions,
and takes rank with theology, law and
medicine. 1t is, indeed, a learned pro-
fession, since it requires a far greater
amount of learning than either OF the
others. Good preachers, doctors and
LAWYERS are more numerous than good
editors. The reason of the differences
is to be found in the fact that all posi-
BILE facilities are offered for the study
of theology and the rest, while Journal
ism, like shoemaking, or any other
trade, must be learned by hard work.
