Directions for CaIcimining.

while soaking. Add fresh water. mt if

the whiting, adding enough water to
make 1t, after mixing, of the same con-
slstency as common whitewash. 1t NAV
be tinted any color and is applied with
a whltewash brush. If the color is
rubbed smooth in little water and then
mixed with the wash it will be more
even. 1865 -sE-
Ii the walls have been previously
Whltewashed scrape away all that will
come OF and wash with solution of white
vttrlol-two ounces in a pail of water.
The vitriol will be decomposed, forming
zine white and plaster of Paris, to which
the calciminiDg easily adheres. 1t is
important to dissolve the glue in a hot
water bath, for it scorched by too great
heat its tenacity is impaired or de.
stroyed. Whiting is simply chalk freed
from impurities and reduced to fine
powder and is also known under the
names of Paris and Spanish white, though
the latter is really white earth found
in Spain.
There is great difference in white.
wash brushes, and the beauty of the work
as well as the ease of performing it de-
ponds very much on good brush, max
ing IT well worth while to pay the differ
ence between that and cheap one. For
the inexperienced it is more difficult to

Evil Habits.

1t is related that an Indian once found
young lion and as he seemed weak and
harmless never attempted 10 control him.
But every day the lion gained III strength
and became more difficult to manage.
At last, when excited by rage, he fell
upon the Indian and tore him in pieces.
1t is thus with evil habits and bad pas
sions. Have You an ungovernable tenn
per? Do you get SO angry that you can
not, or think you cannot, contain
yourself? If so, you have an untamed
lion. Is your appetite for stimulants or
narcotics SO overpowering that you be-
come almost delirious without them
The lion has already got the mastery and
will bring you down unless you cast him
OF. Look into our jails, prisons and
poor-houses, and see the miserable vic
Tins there with mouths full of filthy
stuff and their bodies reeking with the
stencil of whisky or tobacco, and you
will see how much more there is of the
animal than of the Godlike human in
such perverted and fallen creatures! The
lion has them by the throat and will not
let go. He has crushed them to earth,
and they lie in the agony of faithless
and helpless despair. Reader, do you
rather admire the fragrance of nice
Havana" Do you like to see the lads
INDUCING in the weed? And is the
sparkling wine so delicious and exhila
rating? Look out! The lion grows upon
that which feeds it; and though you are
pIaster to-day you may be sldue to-mor
row. What are your habits? Look out

Inc man was veteran in the war of

heroes OF the battle of New Orleans. in

A Cure for LOckjaw.

In the course of lectures recently de-
livered before the British Society of Arts
by Or. Benjamin Richardson the follow
ing important remarks were made upon
nitric of amyl: Zone of these speci-
mems, mean the nitric of amyl, has
within the last few years obtained a re-
markable Importance, owing to its ex-
traordinary action upon the body. A
distinguished chemist, Prof. Guthrie,
while distilling over nitric of amyi from
amylic alcohol, observed that the vapor,
when inhaled, quickened his circulation
and made him feel as if he had been
running There was flushing of his face,
rapid action of his heart and GREATNESS
ness. In 1S61-62 made careful and
prolonged study of the action of this
singular body, and discovered that it
produced its effects by causing an ex-
IRENE relaxation, first ofthe blood vessels,
and afterward of the muscular fibers Of
the body. To such an extent did t.i is
agent thus relax, / found it would over
come the tetanic spasm produced by
strychnia; and having thus discovered its
action, l ventured to propose it's use for
removing the spasm in some of the ex-
tremest spasmodic diseases. The results
have more than realized my expectations.
Under the influence of this agent one of
the most agonizing of known human
maladies, called angina pectoris, has been
brought under such control that the par
oxysms have been regularly prevented,
and, in one instance, at least, altogether
