A VALUABLE RECIPE.-The
Journal Of Chemistry publishes
a recipe for the destruction Of
insects, which, if it be One-half
as efficacious as it is claimed to
be, will prove invaluable:
Hot alum water is a recent
suggestion as an insecticide. 1t
will destroy red and black ants,
cockroaches, chinch-bugs, and
all the crawling pests which in
fest our houses. Take two
pounds Of alum, and dissolve it
in three or four quarts of water;
let it stand on the fire till the
alum disappears; then apply it
with a brush, while nearly boil
ing hot, to every joint and crew
ice in your closets, bedsteads,
pantry shelves, and the like.
Brush creYices in the floor of
the skirting, or mopboards, if
you suspect they hsrbor ver-
min.

BLACK-LEAD IN THE TEA
PoT.-The bloom, or glaze, OF
facing of green and black tea is
generally artificial. In the
case of green tea it is ordinari-
ly a mixture of Prussian blue,
turmeric, and sulphate of lime,
or China clay; and in that of
black tea it is not unfrequently
a coating of black-lead. The
tea prepared for the English
market is VIGOROUSLY subject to
these deliberations; and it
seems that this arises entirely
from our own fancy, and not
from any desire on the part of
the Chinese to pursue such a
practice. The adulteration is
discovered by treating
the tea with cold water, and
then straining through muslin,
and allowing the fine powder to

Nail in q Horsea5Foot.

IEHfE
A neighbor of mine recently
informed me that he had lost a
most valuable horse by a casu-
atty by no means uncem7.
mon. A knowledge of a SIM
pie remedy would have prevon-
ted this loss. The horse trod
upon a nail which entered his
foot. Lameness followed, the
nail was extracted, but lockjaw
superyened, resulting in death.
An unfaiIing remedy in such
casesis muriatic acid. If, when
"a nail is withdrawn from a
horses foot, the foot should be
held up and some muriatic acid
poured into the wound,
neither lameness nor lockjaw
need be feared. Why the iron
should have the effect which il
frequently has, and the ration
ale of the above remedy, l am
unable to explain; but of the
certainty Of counteraction of
disease by this perfectly safe
application, l am well convinced,

move all fat, break and pound
the bones and meat, cover with
cold water, and heat slowly in a
steam-tight kettle. Let it SIM
mer till like a pulp; then strain
through a sieve or cloth, season
to taste, and put over the fire
again, this time without a cover.
SIMMER till the liquid is reduced
one-half. Be sure and skim off
all fat. Set it to cool until it
becomes a jelly. If one has no
steamer, a cloth laid between
the lid and any kettle that it
will ft closely answers the same
purpose.

them with gum copal Varnish,
Which also has the effect Of
making them waterproof. -Four
or FIVE coats should be given,
allowing each coat of varnish
to dry before the succeeding
one is applied. Soles thus
treated possess twice the
usual durability, and generally
outlast the best uppers. The
leather uppers of boots or shoes
may be rendered soft and water
proof by rubbing into them
while warm, before the fire, a
mixture composed of four oun-
ces of hogs fat and one of resin.

A COOP WAY TO KEEP APPLIES
One YEAR Years ago, when we
produced large quantities of fruit,
we always kept apples in excellent
C Jndition during the entire year.
At a recent agricultural conven-
tiol in Utica, New York, a guam
tity Of fair apples were eXhitlte
which we're plump, fresh and OF
good flavor, quite as good as the
ZANE kind Of apples are ordinarily
OIL thu appr ZACH of spring. The
apples had be n put up in refuse
boxes the year previous, and III
The following manner: a layer
of dry saw dust was sprinkled al
tie ottom Of the box, and then a
layer Of apples placed in so that
they do not touch each other,
Upon this was placed a layer OF
raw dust, and 20 on till the box
was filed. The boxes, after b.
ing packed in this way, were plao-
ID on the wall in the cellar, up
from the ground, where they
kept perfectly, retaining their
freshness and f,vor until brought
out.-Erchange.

A PLAIN APPLE PUDDISG.-
Dyspeptics and children cannot
be injured by partaking of this
pudding. Make a paste just
the same as tor soda biscuit.
Line the sides of a very deep
dish with it. Fill the dish with
tender, tart apples, nicely peeled,
cored, and quartered. Add to
them one cup of cold water.
Cover the top with the paste,
rolled out rather thick. Turn a
hin. plate over this, and stand
onthe range and let it cook, or
ron a bake il in the oven;
INIT be sure you have the tin
cover over it. Use any plain
sauce you fancy.

Gov. Tilden has at last found time to.
explain the income business. A letter
has been published, signed by his conf
dental law. clerk, in response to request
to examine the pretended account of his
income during the year 1862. The letter
bears the marks of Tilden's peculiar
dexterity in avoiding the points of most
consequence in the charge against him.
The delay in replying to this charge has
been fatal and now the reply IN the main
point is fatasiy inconohsiye, The Til
6ur1e saya that he has kept himself with
In the letter of the law, but it is plain
that he eyaded its spirit. He could not
be sent to the penitentiary, as he is try
ing to sent Jarvis Lord, for defrauding
the government, but he contrived to
keep the government from getting out
of him the money to which 1t was en-
titled. He did not tell the horse-car
conductor he had paid his fare, but he
kept his hands in his pockets and looked
unconcernedly at the conductor, as if he
had; and the effect was the same. When
the conductor detects such a passenger,
he generally wants to put him off the
car. When the American people find
him running as reform candid ate for
the Presidency, they are gong to vote
for the other man.

PROT. huxley on Niagara.

La the course OF his recent address at
Nashville, Prof Huxley spoke as fol-
lows:
know that it is thought very often
that men of science are in the habit of
drawing largely from their imagination
but it is really not so. The most sober,
careful consideration of facts forces up
on you more and more detcrminedly the
conviction that the theory respecting
which we have this archie illogical cyl
dence of period of the past history of
the world, is of a duration which, in
comparison with our human standard,
may be regarded as almost absolutely
infinite. Take for example, the case of
the cataract of Niagara, where | have
been recently spending some time, so
might fill myself with the grandeur and
beauty of that extraordinary natural
phenomenon it is quite easy to see that
the Niagara river has formed its own
valley, has cut its way back through the
plateau of rock from which it falls for
some six miles. There is not the slight
est difficulty in seeing that. The great
cliff from which it tumhles is formed
of two kinds of Focks-hard rock at
the top and soft rock underneath. The
water undermines the soft rock below,
when the solid stratum above falls over.
You can trace the gradual excavation
for six miles from that marvellous bluff
which, from Proctor's monument, over
looks the plain of Ontario Now, the
rate at which that work is going on has
not vet been positively ascertained, but
we may be perfectly certain-I am now
speaking largely within limits-that
that work of cutting back does not go
on at the rate of yard in a year. We
have six miles of such cutting, which
will bring you to period of ten thou
sand wears for the cutting blck of Mag
ara alone. 1t is an immaterial matter
to me how many years it takes, but it
would be nearer probability, much near
er the truth if / had said three or four
times that amount.
What relation does a period of that
kind bear to the vast duration expressed
by these vast ledges of strata which
form the globe? We are people curl
GUS enoughIto form a very distinct calcu-
lation of this. The sides of the ravine
through which Niagara is cutting its way
are formed by alluvial matter, which
must be older than the river which has
cut through it. In that alluvial matter
you find the remains of shell fish, undis-
tinguishable from those which now in
habit the lake, and along with them you
find-as has been found-the teeth of
the mastodon, which we know from
abundant evidence was an inhabitant of
the continent of North America at a
comparatively recent period, the very
last step of that long series of changes,
