HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Before buying paint test its quality
by spreading little upon the thumb
nail; if it is full of specks 1t is evidence
of it not being sufficiently ground, and
if it has a dead and watery look know
that it is made of cheap material. Good
paint when spread thin upon a smooth
surface will have fine, lively appear
ance and be very adhesive
How to prepare gummed paper
clear. pure dextrine and mix it with
boiling water until it assumes the con-
sistency of ordinary mucilage. Apply
thinly with full-bodied, evenlymade
and wide camers hair brush. The paper
should not be too thin or unsiZed. This
preparation will dry quickly and adhere

Immediately after every meal. Soap is
the best substance to use on the brush,
though it is advisable occasionally to use
a rather rough powder to keep the teeth

will do the work He has succeeded in
raising splendid cabbage, while his neigh
bors who did not use the remedy have
invariably failed. 1t is far preferable to
hellebore or any other article for the
purpose, and has the advantage of being
harmless.-Erchange.
-Stewed Cheese.-Cheese is a very
hearty, therefore cheap, food; chemists
tell us that it contains the greatest
amount of muscle-making power of all
food, and that the poorer it is the more
of this it has; that skimmed-milk cheese
has still more than any other. When
well made it is considered very nutri-
tious; notwithstanding all this, we opine
that none but the healthy can well call
this healthy food; and for those who
eat it we give our rule: Heat a teacup
full of milk with two of cheese, and some
bread crumbs; when melted stir in mus
tard, pepper and salt to taste; serve hot.
Cheese sandwich is made by spreading
the stcwed cheese, when cold, thick on
slices of bread.-HousehoM.
-Adulterated Cayenne Pepper.-The
London Lancet gives the following result
of an analysis of tventy-eight samples
of cayenne pepper: Out of the above
number only four we're genuine. Out of
twenty-four adulterated samples twenty
two contained mineral coloring matter.
Red-lesd, often in large and poisonous
quantities, was present in thirteen SAM
pies. Venetian red, red ochre, brick
dust, or some other analogous ferrugi-
nous earths were contained in seven SAM
pies. Cinnabar, vermilion, or sulphuret
Of mercury was detected in one sample.
Six samples consisted of ground rice,
turmeric and cayenne, colored with red
lead or a red ferruginous earth. Six con-
tanned salt, frequently combined with
rice and red ferruginous earth of red
lead. One of the samples was adulter-
ated with q quantity of the husk of white
mustard-seed. Two contained rice only,
earth.

YESTERDAY morning we gave an &C
count of child wandering away from
home on Thursday last, accompanied by
two dogs. The whole neighborhood had
turned out and searched night and day
without success at the time we wrote
the account.
The following is copy of the hand
bills struck off and circulated:
LOST BoY-ro THE PUBLIC.
Yesterday afternoon William Norman, my
son, left my residence, five miles from Lex
ington, on the Salt Pond road, and was last
seen on the road to town. He is five years of
age, wore a dark wooden coat, dark jeans
pants, patched on the knees, and was fol-
lowed by two dogs; one a black and the
other of a dark yellowish color.
Any information regarding his wherea-
bouts will be thankfully received, and will
relieve the anxiety Of a mother and father.
WILLIAM A. SMITH.
LEXINGTON, Mo-. April g. 1878.
From Mr.. M. Carroll, the popular bag
gage-master of the Lexington passenger
train, we learn the following particulars
of the discovery of the child yesterday
morning, which certainly shows the
wonderful sagacity and faithfulness of
the dogs which accompanied him:
AS in our account yesterday, the last
seen of the child was in q fence-corner
with his dogs. From there IL seems he
wandered into the woods belonging to
Judge Woods, eight miles from Lexing-
ton and three miles from his home. Here,
probably, night overlook the little wan
derer and darkness closed upon him,
cold, tired and hungry, with none to aid
him but mis- faithful fOur-footed compan-
ions. The nights at this time of the year
are too severe for a robust man to be ex-
posed, and certainly tender child, al
most an infant, would succumb to the
biting temperature.
But there is a watchful Providence
above. and His Interpolation in this case
with an instinct that seems equal to hu-
man intelligence, went to work and
scratched together a bed of leaves. Into
this the boy crept, and then the intelli-
gent animals laid down, one on each side
of him, and kept him warm through the
night with the heat of their bodies.
Morning broke with the boy safe, his
shaggy guardians remaining at their
post. Though rested and refreshed, he
was almost famished with hunger
Again the wonderful instinct of the faith
full dog was equal to the emergency.
They sat out foraging, chased and killed
q rabbit, and brought i to their young
charge, laying it at IL feet. The boy
eagerly ate of the raw meat, and when
discovered was busily engaged in ap-
pcasing his hunger.
When the party who discovered him
endeavored to approach the child the
dogs became exceedingly ferocious, and
would not let one of them approach him.
The boys father and dogs master had
to be sent for before they could get the
child from his noble protectors.
The joy of the parents can be easily
imagined, and we will guarantee to say
that all the wealth of Lafayette County
would not purchase one of these dogs

Ladies' Panama Hats, Etc.

AMONG novelties for the spring and
summer are very fine plated French
Panama hats. These are commended
for their exceeding lightness, elegance of
shape, fineness and durability. They
are as soft and pliable as chip braids, do
not break when bent, are not injured by
rain, and are SO elastic that they may be
rolled in q small parcel without spelling
their shape. They are most admired
when made in the stylish Bretonne shape,
with round crown and flexible brim
curled upward in front, but without
wire. They are also shown in the Di-
rectoire shape, with fiaring scoop front,
and narrow brim behind.
The damask ribbons already mentioned
are the favorite in Paris for trimming
bonnets. All the jacquard looms in St.
Etienne are employed to make this rich
fabric; the limitations of domestic manu-
facture are very Door in comparison with
the imported ribbons and scarfs.
Chip bonnets in the Directoire and
Bretonne shapes are of ecru shades, with
border of several rows of the chip of
novelty is very light bonnet made of .
glossy si.ken braid. This is very frail,
and should be reserved for carriage use
and fair weather. Chip flats, or piateaur,
like those in use years ago, are now i'm
ported, and milliners add the crowns
and shape the brims to suit the wearer's
fancy. These come in chalk white and
pearl color, and will make most distin-
guished looking hats when trimmed with
velvet, feathers and roses.
The new Derby or French walking hat
As an improvement on the English
walking hat now in vogue. 1t is
shaped precisely like the Derby
hats worn by gentlemen; the
crown is high and round, and the
narrow brim projects in back and front,
and is rolled slightly all around. These
are most popular in black and brown
chip and in fine English Dunstable
braid.
The few ornaments imported consist
of gilt and silver slides, buckles, and
brooches of filigree in old medieval de-
signs. There are also ribbons and gal
loon studded with polished jet or silver
spangles. Flowers, branches and leaves
of jet with gilt or with silver are occa-
siOnally used-HarDer's BaEdr

farm it without capital. Can't adopt the
improved methods of farming without
capital. We are sometimes tempted to
ask: Haven't you hands and feet, bone
and sinew, and brainsf Ard what are
these but capital? What more did God
give any man in the way of capital!
They are more than money, for they can't
to use them, isn't it time to begin to
learn! Grapple the handles of the pillow,
the hoe or the ak. Your capital will
soon begin to well up interest. Go to
work with the capital you have. Stop
the leaks about the place. Look after
and cut Oft the sources of waste on the
farm. Save something out of what you
earn, be it more or less. If you can't
make money on the capital you have,
you couldn't probably make it if you had
million to work with. A man who
doesn't know how to use bone and
muscle, sinew and brains, wouldn't know
how to use gold. If you let such Fro
ductive power lie idle, it would be the
same with capital. The true way is to
cultivate little we'll rather than much
indifferently well.
The seeds of many plants, flowers and
garden vegetables ought to be sown this
month Parsnips, carrots, peas and some
others can hardly be planted too early
after the land is dry enough to work.
Beets will do as well trifie later, and
for field crop of mangolds we think
about the 10th of May is early enough.
Where land was laid down to grass
last fall it is a good plan now to sow on
clover seed, and if the surface is dry and
hard enough a roller will do it good 1t
presses the seed into the soil and the
roots of the grasses that have been
thrown little by the frost.
We must take " time by the forelock,"
and keep up even with the springs work
SO far as the weather will allow. Better
drive little ahead than be driven by the
work itself.-Ndssashusetts Pl0uQAman.

Pure Water for Stock.

INVARIABLY we realize and appreciate
the value of pure water for the use of the
human family; but this cannot always
be said Of our idea of what is fit and de-
sirable for the brute creation. The horse
Is naturally somewhat fastidious as to
his drinking. and, unless hard pressed by
thirst, will generally refuse water that is
not perfectly pure and clean. Other
animals, including horned stock, are not
so particular, while their owners are fire.
quently less SO than themselves, and
where running water is not convenient
the latter are apt to allow the cattle to
take water from marshes or from stand
ing pools; giving the matter little or no
attention so long as the animals appear
to thrive. So far as neat cattle are con-
cerned, the evil results of this practice
may be SO remote as never to manifest
themselves, and the animals may be sent
away to the shambles in . condition
which promises excellent beef. But there
is another class of cattle where negli
gence may be attended with the gravest
results Our mich cows cannot take i'm
pure food or water into the system with
out affecting in a greater or less degree
the quality of the milk and butter. To
allow stock to stand or wade in the water
which they are compelled to drink, unless
the source be running stream, is sure
to render the water impure and add to
the bad qualities natural to stagnant
water many others scarcely less inju-
rious. All pasture fields cannot have
running water; but in cases where low
and marshy grounds exist it is compar-
ativsly easy to dig shallow we'll and
provide trough, which may be filed as
occasion requires. We are aware that
this 10 some trouble and expense, but
where the question of pure milk is con-
cerned these considerations can hardly
be considered of any weight. If this
matter should receive careful attention
it Is probable that the common CON-
plants of poison weeds in pastures, milk
sickness, etc, would be greatly lessened.

ALL the people in u Paris house were
startled one night by a tremendous noise
made in an upper apartment. Rushing
TO the doors they saw q man coming
down four steps at a time. He was ar
rested, half dead with fear. He was q
thief, had made his way in with false
key, and, feeling his way about the apart
ments from room to room to find valua-
bles, had come upon some strange, soft,
movable, upright thing in the middle of
a room. He felt of it, passed his hand
higher and higher, and felt face, cold
as ice. Frightened, eager to escape, he
could not find his way to the door, and
in his flight upset every article of furni-
ture in the apartment. Then they all
went upstairs, and found the tenant of
the fourth floor hanged in his room.

SIX MILLIONs.-AbOut two years ago
DIR. J. WALKER, an old and prominent
physician of California, discovered, by
actual experience upon his own system,
a medicine which may honestly be termed
I" a boon to suffering humanity" Being
q combination of herbalistic extracts,
pungent and sour to the taste, and yet
possessed of gentle stimulative charac-
teristics-althOugh entirely free from
alcoholic named it VINEGAR BITTERs,
and despite the prejudice existing among
his profession az ainst all patented med
icines he determined to brave the jeers
of his brother practitioners and give TO
suffering humanity the benefit of his ac-
cidental discovery. He did so, and the
benefits from its use became known. The
demand increased, and immense quaint
ties were sold at a merely nominal price.
Its merit is told in the fact that " in two
years over SIX MILLIONS of bottles have
been sold" and still the demand in
creases. Surely such a man should be
ranked among the benefactors of the
human race. 90
