The Limit.

A colored mad living In Detroit has
a sign on his house reading meals
for eight cents" The sign attracted
the attention of q man OF color the
other day, and he stepped up and said
he would have dinner. A slice of
bread and bowl OF water was placed
on the table and he was told to draw
up.
"What sort of meal Is that ?" he
demanded, dIawing away instead Of
drawing up.
"That's an eight cent meal, my
friend"
81 amt prepared tl square of in
front of no such dinner, growled the
stranger, getting out doors.
ut isn't no festival, that's true,"
replied the proprietor, but when the
price is limited down to eight cents you
must expect the food will be limited
down to two courses. There's bread,
and there's water, and II you want to
make it ten cents I'll put on the pep

A Coon CEMENT.--A good cement for
mending almost anything may be made by
mixing together litharge and glycerine to
the consistency Of thick cream or fresh
putty. This cement is useful for mend
ing stone jars or any coarse earthenware,
stopping leaks in seams of tin pans or
wash boilers, cracks aud holes in iron
kettles, &c. Holes have been filed an
inch in diameter in kettles and used the
same for years 10 boiling water and feed.
Ii may also be used to fasten on lamp tops,
to tighten loose nuts, to secure loose bolts
whose nuts are lost, to tighten loose joints
Of wood or iron, loose boxes in wagon
hubs, and in a great many other ways.
In all cases the article mended should not
be nsed till the cement has hardened,
which will require from one day to a
week, according to the quantity used.
This cement will resist the action of water
hot or cold, acids, aud almost any degree
Of heat.

1t may be Of some value TO housekeep-
ers who have marble.top furniture to know
that the common solution of gum arabic
is an excellent absorbent, and will remove
dirt, &C., from marble. First, brush the
dust of the piece to be cleaned, then ap-
ply with brush good coat of gum
arabic, about the consistency Of thick
Office mucilage, expose it to the sun or
dry wind, or both. In a short time it
will crack and peel off, If all the gum
should not peel of, wash it with clean
water and a clean cloth. OF course, if
the first application does not have the
desired effect it should be applied again.
Second, make paste with soft soap and
whiting, wash the marble with it and then
leave a coat Of paste upon it for two or
three days. Afterward wash off with
warm (not hot) water and soap--Scien-

All praise to Dr. David Ferrier, Assist
ant Physician at Kings College Hospital,
London. He has discovered specific
for cold in the head. Being himself much
subject to that very unpleasant though not
alarming disease, he tried what bismuth
would do for him. He took repeated pin
ches Of it as though it were snuff, inhal-
ing it strongly, so as to carry it well into
the interior of the nostrils. In short
time the tickling in the nostrils and sneez-
ing ceased, and next morning all traces of
coryza had completely disappeared. Re-
newed experiments upon himself and
others confirmed his belief in the efficacy
of this remedy, and he has described it at
length in the Lancet. He finds the most
suitable formula as follows: Trisnitrate
of bismuth, six drachms acacia powder,
two drachms; hydrochlorate of morphia,
two grains.

To improve the appearance of furniture,
the Industrial Monthly advises its readers
to take soft sponge, wet with clean, cold
water, and wash over the article. Then
take soft chamois skin, and wipe it clean.
Dry the skin as well as you can by wiring
ing it in the hands, and wipe the water off
the furniture, being careful to wipe only
one way. Never use a dry chamois on
varnish work. If the varnish is defaced
and shows white marks, take linseed oil
and turpentine in equal parts, shake them
well in vial, and apply very small
quantity on soft rag until the color is
restored; then with clean soft rag wipe
the mixture of. In deeply carved work
the dust cannot be removed with a sponge.
Use stiff.haired paint-brush instead of a
sponge.

The Two WEBsTERs.-When Mr..
Webster visited England, after he had
attained fame enough to precede him, an
English gentleman took him one day to
see Lord Brougham. That eminent Briton
received our Daniel with such GOODNESS
that he was glad to get away and back to
his rooms. The friend who had taken
him at once returned to Lord Broueham
in haste and anger.
"My lord, how could you behave with
such unseemly rudeness and discourtesy to
so great lawyer and statesman 1t was
insulting to him, and has filed me with
modification"
"Why, what on earth have done, and
whom have been rude to2"
'To Daniel Webster, of the Senate of
the United States"
"Great Jupiter, what a blunder! /

Juvenile Philosophy.

A young philosopher of seven years of
age, who had not got far enough to hear
the Holy Scripture disputed by science,
listened attentively in his fathers parlor
the other evening to a warm discussion on
the Darwinian theory, aud, after the guests
had departed, somewhat surprised the
paternal with "Father l don't believe Mr..
Darwin is right" "What2p said the
parent, looking down at this unexpected
reasoner, who stood before him with little
Bible in his hand "you do not, and why ?"
BECAUSE, papa, my Bible says "God crea-
ted man in His own image" and don't
believe 1t was monkey" "Well" well" ("
said the sire laughing, "run- along, Tommy;
you are too young to talk about such
things" 'But, papa, almost the next
verse says: "God saw everything he had
made, and behold it was very good

TANNTSaSKINs.--An old trapper gives
the following process for tanning skins
with the fur on. Take two parts each of
alum and salt, and one part saltpetre, all
well pulyerized. When.the feshy side of
the skin has been cleared Of fatty and
other adhering matter, sprinkle it freely
enough to make it white, with the mix
ture. Fold in the edges and roll up the
skin. Let it remain for three or four
days; then wash, first with clear water and
then with soap and water. 1t should be
pulled in various directions as it is dry
ing, to make it soft and pliable.

Some time since lady happened to see
in the streets Of London monkey begging
pence from the public in the prettiest
manner for the benefit of his master, an
organ grinder. She took a fancy to it,
bought it, dressed it in the gaudiest of
raiment, and at fashionable reception
her pet was the wonder of the room. In
the course Of the evening young lady
sat down at the piano, and sang with
exquisite taste little drawiDg-room song.
As soon as she had finished, the monkey,
who had not forgotten his former duties,
seizing hat, to the amusement of every
body, went round Of the guests and collec-
ted large sum. His task ended he jum
ped upon the knee of the singer, amid
shouts of laughter, and deposited the con
tents Of his hat in the lady's lap. The
collection was devoted to charitable fund.

Spurgeon tells the following story "a
poor man, who had large family, gave
them very comfortable support while he
was in health. He broke his leg, and was
laid up for some weeks As he would be
for some time destitute Of the means of
grace, it was proposed to hold prayer
meeting at his house. The meeting was
lead by Deacon Brown. A loud knock at
the door interrupted the service. A tall,
lank, blue-frocked youngster stood at the
door, with an OK goad in his hand, and
asked to see Deacon Brown. "Father
could not attend this meeting" he said,
"but he sent his prayers, and they are out
in the cart" They were brought in, in
the shape Of potatoes, beef, pork and corn.
The meeting broke up without benediction.
