spirits of Ammonia.

There is no telling what thing will do till
you try it. i knew ammonia, diluted in water,
would restore rusty silks and clean coat collars,
but when l got grease spot on the carpet,
tried halt dozen things before thought of that,
and that is just what did the work efiectually.
put teaspOODful in about teacupful of hot
water, took cloth and wet the spot thoroughly,
just rubbing it slightly, and the ugly spot was
gone. 1t is splendid for cleaning your silver it
makes things as bright as new without any ex-
penditure of strength; and for looking glasses
and windows il is best of all and one day when
l was tired, and my dish-cloths looked rather
gray. turned few drops of ammonia into the
water and rubbed them out, and found it acted
like charm, aud / shall be sure to do so again
some day. suppose housewives have a perfect
right to experiment and see what results they
can produce; and if they are not on as large a
scale as the farmers try, they inst as import
ant to US, and they make our work light and
brighter too. Now, do not believe in luxuriat-
ing in good thing all alone, and hope all the
housekeepers will send and get ten-cent bottle
of spirits of ammonia, and commence a series of
chemical experiments, and see what they can ac-
complish with it. Take boys jacket, the girls
dresses, and when you have cleaned everything
else, put few drops in some soft water, wash
the little folks heads, and report progress

Cut-Cucumher Pickles.

Prepare strong brine, in which you can keep
your pickles as long as you choose After taking
them ont of the brine, wipe carefully, and let
them soak few days in weak vinegar, in order
to extract the salt water. Then slice the cucum-
beers half an inch thick put them in a jar, with
layers of seasoning between each one of the Gu
cnmbers; two ounces of allspice, half an ounce
of cloves, one ounce of mace, one ounce of pep
per, one ounce of celery seed, and a little chop
ped onion, with plenty of brown sugar. Tie up
the jar very securely, and set it in an iron vessel
of cold water. Boil until you can run straw
through the pieces of cucumber. Cover with
strong vinegar. These proportions suppose jar
holding three gallons of vinegar to be the size
used Another way to pack the eucumbers is to
connt them, allowing to seventy-fve cucumbers
two ounces each of cloves, mace, nutmeg, pepper,
and allspice.

FOE THE cuRE O

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAMN the right side, under theedge
i Of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the leftside; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism In
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels
ingeneral are costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There IS
generally considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation OF
having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains ola
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred few ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.

CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken
with Quinine, are productive of the

Fling out the flag Of starsI
While round il tbrong the sturdy men
Who triumphed in the wars.

And beacon b0nfires flame
On every height, and valleys ring
With shouts of loud acclaim.
CHoRUs.-The boys who wore the blue
In the old battle days
Remember still leader true,
And they are all for Hayes!
He led them 'gainst the rebel horde
And calamity and well
'Gainst strong redoubts, where batteries poured
Their storms of shot and shell;
And, lying wounded on the sod,
He showed his metal when
He said to one, Tell Governor Todd
I'll be on hand again.
CHoRUs.-The boys who wore the blue, etc.
Once more the blne confronts the gray;
The self same trait'rous foe
With sacrilegiOus hand would Law
Fair Freedoms temple low.
By loyal hearts they must be met
And made again to bow;
Not 18th the sword and bayonet
tut with the ballot now.
CHoRUs.-The boys who wore the blne, etc.
The chief who always was ION hand"
To put rebellion down.
Is worthy now to take command
And wear the civic crown.

Ye gBant sons of Mars!
And vict'ry shall be yours again,
Beneath the stripes and stars

Paul Boyton, the great American swimmer, gives
state exhibitions of skill in the water before
crowned heads and titled dignataries, and is
greeted with applause and presents. We used
much solitude as a dozen boys could find, and
one boy perched on the top of the lumber pile to
watch for the policeman. And then, eleven
times out Of ten, If We weren't chased ont of the
water by policeman and rattan cane, we were
winnowed with peach switch when we got
home; on the slight and merely circumstantial
evidence of having our shirt on wroDg-side out.

HERE is an infallible method of discovering
the day of the week on which given day of the
month any number of years previous occurred.
To the number representing your age at your
next birthday, add one-fourth for leap years !;
this amount divide by seven, and the remainder
counted back from the day on which you were
born. For instance, on your next birthday you
will be "a years old. This divided by 4, and the
quotient, 6 added to a. gives 80, the amount,
which divided by seven, the number of days in
a week, gives four weeks and the remainder of
two days. Now, if your birthday in 1876 comes
on Monday, count back two days. and you have
the day on which you were born, Saturday.

BURNS AND SCALDs.-The recent fearful explo-
sion on board the British irOnclad Thunderer,
has called ont the publication of many recipes
and remedies Among them all, the following,
contributed by an old and experienced physi-
clan, has the merit of convenience and readiness
The remedy is simply this: The common whiting
of commerce found in nearly every kitcbenl,
reduced by cold water to the consstence of thick
cream, is is to be spread light linen rag, and
the whole burnt surface instantly covered, and
thus excluded from the action of the air. The
ease it affords is instantaneous, and it only re-
quires to be kept moist by subsequent occasional
sprinklings of cold water.

VERY daring Kentucky girl lately rode her
horse close up 20 the edge of yawning chasm,
and proudly defed any gentleman of the party
to do the same. Not a soul stirred, except one
youth, who boldly backed his horse into the po-
sitiOn, and standing on his head in the saddle,
dared her to do the same. Her mettle was ag-
grayated, and riding up to her challenger, she
said: "Sam Reed, you can't get away with me

NEURALGIA in the faces and heads of women is
largely on the increase, as compared with the
number of instances of tko disease among men
and this is believed to be due to the inferior
protection afforded by the mode in which women
now cover their heads. 1t is not only one of the
most common of feminine maladies, but one of
the most painful and difficult of treatment. II
is also a cause of much mental depression, and is
regarded by physicians as leading more often to
other disease
