less OF the tone may be warmed, if de-
sired, by adding burnt sienna. IF
81 imitation Of the handsome ash

rub every alternate board with
pure linseed oil, and use a paint brush
to apply the dark staining, taking care
not to have enough in the brush to
spread on the part intended to be light.
Leave the floor for day or two to dry,
though the only harm done by using it
immediately is that the oil is liable to
be tracked over the other parts of the
house. The great advantagea oil floor
possesses over a painted one is that
when marked OF scratched some oil rub
bed over the spots removes them, and it
is never necessary to repeat the whole
process again. All that is needed to
keep the floor bright and fresh is to
occasionally rub it over with cloth wet

would treat oil furniture.
MAKING COOP COFFEE. making
of good coffee is rare thing IN this
country; most persons boil it, thus
making decoction instead Of an infu-
sion; this effectually gets rid of the
delicate and agreeable aromatic flavor,
and leaves a comparatively tasteless
beverage. The following particulars
will be found worth attention:
Never buy your coffee ground, but
grind it yourself, Immediately before
making it; keep your coffee pot, what
ever kind you may use, wiped clean and
dry inside; damp tea or cotfee-pot &C
quires musty flavor that spoils the
best tea or coffee. The cheapest and
perhaps the best coffee-pots are those
made on the French plan, called cafe
there's. If you have not one of these
adopt the following plan: Put your
freshly ground coffee into the cotfee-pot,
previously made warm, and pour
upon it water actually boiling; set the
pot by the side of the fire for few
seconds, but do not let it boil up, then
pour cupful out and return it back
again to the pot in order to clear it;
having done this let it stand on the hob
or center to settle, and in less than five
minutes transparent, strong, aromatic
cup of coffee may be poured out. The
proportions of coffee (Which should not
be too finely ground recommended,
are an ounce to pint or pint and half
of water.
The milk used with coffee should al
ways be boiled and used as hot as pos
sible; the boiling of milk imparts a
peculiar and exceedingly pleasant flavor
to the coffee. White sugar is recon-
as the molasses- like flavor of
moist sugar quite overpowers the deli
cate aroma

Az Interesting Legal Point.

At the November term, 1873, Of the
Circuit Court, in Dubuque, suits were
instituted against several of the most
prominent life insurance companies in
the country, including the New Eng
land, Equitable, Etna, Globe, and
others, to enforce the payment Of penal
ties fer failure to make certain reports
to the State Auditor within a given
time. The penalty attached under the
state law was 500 for every day elaps-
ing after the time specified until the
report was made, the law allowing the
informer half the penalty in each case.
By special act of the Legislature the
penalties were RENTED, and the counsel
for the insurance companies have
moved that the suits be dismissed. On
this ground the motion was sustained.
But the relator, James Mulligan, has
appealed to the Supreme Court, on the
ground that, while the penalties are re-
nittel SO far as the court IS concerned,
it coald not remit the half that is due
the complainant for information. The
whoSe amount of penalty claimed is
5000, 600.

New Horse Disease.


The Lancaster Penn.) Examiner
states that a new horse disease has broken
out in some of the surrounding coun-
ties. A veterinary surgeon furnishes
the following peculiarities The first
symptoms are general debility; loss OF
appetite, the horse refusing to eat from
the commencement; short, abrupt
cough; dark faucus, tinged with blood,
oozing from one or both nostrils; very
sore throat, with very little enlargement
of the glands-in fact, scarcely percepti-
bic. The partoids are a little tumifed,
the submaxiliary little more, but not
equivalent to the soreness of the throat;
the eyes but very little swollen, counte-
nance detected, slight cough resemb-
ling catarrh or influenza. At times the
extremities are deathly cold, slightfever,
heaving at the tanks, inspiration long,
expiration quick, resembling lung fever,
except the stiff and immovable position
which always accompanies that disease.
Again, the horse lies down from the
commencement of that malady, which
he never does III pneumonia. There
seems to be a partial combination Ct
the disease-pneumonia bronchitis, ca
tarrh Or Influenza, Inflammation OF the
larynx and Inflammation of the trachea.
1t is insidious in it's attack, commencing
at the nose and creeping along until the
whole Of the respiratory passages are
involved and the system generally af-
fected.

The Power of Snuff.

DR.. Rudolph Won Gardenfeld, chief
physician in the Bavarian army during
the Napoleon wars, tells the following
" Once ] was gathering plants in a
small ferest near Moisen. Suddenly,
came upon man who was lying on the
ground, and whom I at once supposed
to be dead On drawing near to him,
b viewer, [ perceived he was still alive,
but in a fainting state. Vigorously
shook him; at last he opened his eyes,
and asked me, in a lamentable and
scarcely audible voice, whether [ had
any snuff with me? When I gave a
negative answer he fell back
into his former condition.
now went in search Of snuff, and was
fortunate enough to meet peasant,
who kindly came with me to the faint
ing man, and gave him some pinches OF
snuff. The man soon recovered, and
told me that he had to travel certain
distance as messenger, and on starting,
in the morning, had forgotten to take
his snuff box. AS he went along, sc
violent became his craving for snuff,
that he was completely exhausted, and
had fallen In a swoon at the spot where
