The ordinary paint rubs offin the course
OF manufacture. Answer. Try the fol-
lowing Maoerate Tin o mortar) oxide OF
zinc with sufficient gum dammar and

am using q varnish that has good lus-
tor, but after IL has flowed, II appears to
be specked with fine dirt. Answer.
Thin the varnish down and Alter through
a small plug Of cotton wool.
am building an ice box, inside box
one inch in thickness, composed OF black
walnut, and lined with zinc. The out
side OF this box wish to cover with felt.
ing one-half inch in thickness. The
outer box is to consist OF one inch in
thickness of black walnut. Would this
make good family ice box Answer.
An air space Of two inches thickness be-
tween the outer and the inner box is as
good for tho preservation of the ice as
would bea packing with some filling like
powdered charcoal or other material, but
the space must be thoroughly alright.
Place the ice near the top, and the arti-
Giles to be preserved lower provide
means to catch the drip from the ice-a
sheet of zinc, perforated from below with
holes to pass air down but not water,
will do-and set small pipe in the bot
tom to carry off the water. Make the
lid Of the box to contain an air space as
we'll as the sides.
At what time in the year should I cut
timber for wagon lumber, etc., 80 as to
prevent the worms from getting into the
lumberl Answer. The proper time for
telling trees is that in which the largest
quantity OF hard and durable wood can
be obtained as free from sap as possible.
Timber is felled during the cold months,
when the natural juices are most mac
tive, and the tree, ina measure, dormant.
To properly season the wood, it is neces-
sary that it should he exposed for about
a year to the influence of dry air.-IScien-

ReyaccipatiOn,

DIR. William B. Davis read a paper
before the Cincinnati medical society, al
recent meeting, giving observations or
revaccination during the present cpl.
demic in Cincinnati. His observations,
he said, were based Old two hundred pri
vate cases and six hundred cases of re-
vaccination in the workhouse. His con.
illusions were as follows:
l. That exposure to infection and in
tense epidemic influence largely increases
the susceptibility of the system to the
influence of vaccine virus, and accounts
for the unusual number of successful re-
vaccinations during the existence of an
epidemic.
2. Smallpox and varioloid give nc
more immunity from recurrence OF
smallpox than vaccination.
8. The cicatrix Tor mark) is not safe
criterion of the degree of perfection
given by the previous vaccination. A
number of persons were vaccinated hav,
ing pits of smallpox on their persons,
and seventy-five per cent. of the cases
took.
4. 1t is advisable to vaccinate upon
every exposure to contagion, unless il
has been recently done with success.
5. Those who are successfully revac-
cinated were, to some extent, susceptible
to the smallpox influence.

Hans Andersen's Love Story.

1t was on Andersen's journey through
Zealand, Funen and Jutland, says ST.
Nicholas, that he met young girl with
whom he fell deeply in love, but who,
unfortunately, at the same time was en-
gagged to another man. As he never met
another woman whom he loved as he
loved this girl, he remained unmarried
all his life. Many years later a peasant
girl, who had heard about him as a great
and world-renowned poet, whom all men
honored-and who, I believe had also
read some of his stories-took it into her
head that he was the man whom she
wanted to marry. So she started out
for Copenhagen, where Andersen was
then living, went to his home, AMI told
him her Grand. You can imagine how
astonished he must have been at being
told by young, handsome girl that she
wished to marry him. 81 should be 80
very good to you," said she, "and al
ways take good care of YOU" /" But,
my dear girl, l don't wish to be mar
ried, answered he; and she departed as
suddenly as she had come.

The MaelstrOln,

Nearly midway in London strait, q
huge naked rock, which might fairly be
called an island, lifts itself above the
waters, breasting the conflicting cur.
rents caused by the wind and tides. Be.
tween this rock and the capo on Muskong
is the famous maelstrom, which fertile
imaginations have clothed with many
terIors.
Its geographical position is such as to
expose it to fierce tidal currents, nd
when these are assisted by high westerly
winds, they are no doubt terrific. The
bottom of the strait is strewn with i'm
menso powders, which are so arranged
as to give the current a spiral motion,
directed toward the isolated rock from
the northern side, which is much in
creased in times of high tides or storms,
when it whirls quite around the island
rock.
Then it is that it becomes really diff
cult for boats and vessels without
steam power to keep clear of the rocks
against which the hayward currents
would dash them.
While there arc at times vast and
powerful eddies, which give objects
floating upon them fearful spiral
motion, there is nothing like a vortex
produced by subterranean discharge
of the water, although the tumbling and
boiling character of the spiral current
may submerge temporarily objects drift
ing on the surface.
No doubt in the course of time the
action of the water has tended to level
down the bed of rocks, some of which,
we may presume, showed themselves
above the surface. This may have made
the maelstrom much more terrific than
it now is, and better justified the ancient
fable.
AS it is, in ordinary times, and in
favorable weather, the fishermen do not
hesitate to seek for fares throughout
these waters, which to strangers are
suggestive of the most terrible dangers.

The Deutschland Disaster,

Few more painful and wretched stories
of shipwreck have ever been related
than that of the Deutschland. The
captain of the ship has thus far failed to
explain how he came to be so far out OF
his course. To sail from Bremen with
the intention of going to Southampton,
and then to run ashore on sandbank of
Harwich, is like sailing from New York
for Liverpool and running ashore on
Long Branch. But having thus beached
his vessel, the captain of the ship seems
to have done the remainder of his duty
we'll, and the subsequent loss of life ap-
pears to have been wholly duo to the al
most unaccountable delay which o.
CURED at Harwich in sending relief to
the stranded ship. During the whole of
Monday the Deutschland was lying in a
frequented track, within easy reach of
Harwick; but she might as well have
been stranded on the coast of an unin.
habited island. The whole day passed
by; the waves gradually flooded the
ship and drowned those of the passen-
gers who could not, or would not, seek
safety by clinging to the rigging. After
more than twelve hours-at $50 on
Monday night-some one at Harwich
deigned to notice the rockets which
were fired from the ship, and a signal
was made in return from the shore. But
no attempt was made to send relief until
after daylight on the next morning,
Tuesday, and then tug was leisurely
sent out to tho wreck, and was able to
save with ease all who were left alive on
board. The Deutschland had then,
however, been lying at the mercy of the
waves for twenty-eight hours, and the
weaker or less courageousof the passen-
gers had one by one dropped into the
water or been swept away by the bill
lows. Not life need have been lost had
e people at Harwich sent out their tug
on Monday morning, or even at any
time during Monday; and why they did
not do this does not appear. The Lon
don Times says that the facts cast dis
grace upon the English name, and
that it is hard to see how they can be
excused.

One SteU at a Time.

A great many people dishearten them
selves by worrying too much about pos
sible future troubles. Prudent fore
thought is commendable, but mere un-
reasonable worry should be avoided. It
is an act of folly for man to conjure up
all the troubles that might befall him,
and mass them before him as SO many
obstacles to be overcome at once. A
man at the foot of flight of stairs
which he has to ascend would be foolish
to assume that he must take all the
steps at once, and that because he can
not do that he cannot ascend the stairs
at all. He has only to take one step at
a time, and when he gets to the top step
he takes that almost as easily as he took
the first. But when he gets to the top
let him be careful that he does not fall
all the way down by one misstep. 1t is
the same with the affairs of life. All we
have to do is to take one step at a
time.

" For the Blood is the Life.0

See Deuteronomy, xii. 20. The blood being
the source from which the system is built up,
and from which we derive our mental as well
rs physical capabilities, how important that
it should be kept pure II it contains vile, fes-
tering poisons, all organic functions become
enfeobled. Settling upon important organs, as
the lungs, liver and kidneys, the effect is most
disastrous. Hence it behooves all to keep
their blood in a perfectly healthy condition,
and more especially does this apply at this
particular season of the year than at any
other No matter what the exciting cause
may be, the real cause Of a large proportion Of
all diseases is bad blood. Now, DR.. Pierce
does not wish to place his Golden Medical
Discovery in the catalogue OF quack patent
nostrums, by recommending it to cure every
disease, nor does he so recommend it; on the
contrary, there are hundreds Of diseases that
he acknowledges it will not cure but what he
does cam ls this, that there is but one form
of blood disease that it will not cure, and that
disease is cancer. He does not recommend his
Discovery for that disease, yet he knows 1t to
BIO the most searching blood-clcanser yet dis
covered, and that it will free the blood and
animal, vegetable, or mineral Tho Golden
Medical Discovery il warranted by him to cure
the worst forms Of skin diseases, Is all forms
of blotches, pimples and eruptlons; also all
glandular sWelhngs, and the worst form of
ecrofulous and liberated sores OF the neck,
legs, or other parts, ana al scrO1ulouS dis

which belong to scrofuluus diseases.
