Mock NoUeAT (very nicc).--To one
quart of good molasses add one pound of
brown sugar and one ounce of butter.
Put IL on the fire, stir now and then to
prevent scorching Aflor IL has boiled
one hour, stir In teacupful of walnut
kernels, all particles of shell adhering
having been carefully removed. Let II
boil short while longer, or until candicd,
which may be ascertained by dropping a
little in cold water if IL does not discOlor
the water, and has stringy appearance,
IL is done; contiuue to boil until this is
the case. Grease large dish, pour out
the candy and let itstand until cold, when
Il may be cut into squares or strips; or,
If preferred, the candy may be pulled as
soon as cool enough 10 bear handling.
THE Practical Farmer says that clap
boards arc often split by driving large
nails into the board that has just been
put on, sometimes checking the stud on
which the clapboard is nailed. This in
duces leakage and often speedy decay.
The proper method is pointed out as fol
lows: After the board is nailed on, let
the support nails be stuck into the sheath
ing boards or studs, 80 as to rest on the
upper edge of the board below. Then,
after the ends are fitted, draw out the sup
port nails and lap the lower edge of the
clapboard on the board below not less
than one inch. BY observing this dircc-
tIon no cracks will be produced near the
lower edges of the boards. 1t will pay
WELL also, 10 make holes for nails with a
sharp bradawl.
To SQUARE any number of two figures
ending in five Multiply the tens figure
by orc more than ITSELF and annex the
square OF the units figure. Example:
Square As. The tens figure is A; multi
ply this by one more than itself, 5, and
the product is 20; annex the square of 5,
the units figure, which is 25, and the an
swer is 2,025. This can all be done men
tally, which is the advantage. To square
any number ending in %: If the hun
drcds figure is /, annex the units figure
to it, and then annex to this the square of
25. If the hundreds figure is2, annex the
units figure and then double the number
thus formed, annexing the square Of 25.
The rule may be made more general,
thus: Annex the units to the hundred s
| figure, multiply by the hundreds figure,
and annex the square of 25. Example
| Square 225. AnnexiDg units 8 to nun
dred's 2, we have %; multiplying by 2,
| the hundreds, we have so; annexing 625,
the square OF %, we have 50,625, the
answer This can all be done in the
mind Ohio Farmer.
THE number of infallible" cures for
rheumatism, says the Boston Journal o
| ChemiStrV, that have been announced has
become matter Of Joke. Our readers
have doubtless seen the amusing list of a
hundred or so of these specifics, pro
fessional and n-professional, that has
gone the rounds of the papers DR.. Franz
Heller has added one more to the cata.
logue, and that is ammonia, which he ad.
vocates enthusiastically in the Meltzjn
ische PresSe, of Vienna. For several years
he had been sufferer from severe mus
cular rheumatism in the right shoulder
he had taken al the common anti-Theum
attic remedies with but little alleviation
when he began to reason that in rheuma-
tism, as in gout, there may be a uric acid
diathesis; he thought that liquor ammo
nie, on account of its rapid volatlization
would be the remedy most readily alb
sorbed, and the most prompt in action
he took one drop, diluted with water, anC
felt Immediately "a complete relief from
the pain, which had lasted for ten hours
he was now able to move freely the arm
which, an instant before, he could scarce
ly bear to have touched. The remedy
he claims, has proved positive cure in
all recent cases of muscular rheumati SIN
which have fallen under his observation
and these have been many.
