Useful Information

The following method of removing in
delible ink and other silver stains,
without the use of cyanide of potassium,
is given by Grimm in the Polytechnisches
Notizblatt: Chloride of copper is first
applied to the tissue it is next washed
with hyposulphite of soda solution, and
afterwards with water. 1t is said that
this may be employed on colored woven
cotton tissues. For white cottons and
linens, dilute solutions of permanganate
of potash and hydrochloric acid, followed
by the hyposulphite of soda and clear
water, is preferable. For cleaning the
hands, we use iodine dissolved either in
iodide of potassium or in alcohol,
followed by aqua ammonia.
SHARPENING tools by bath. A razor
RECEIVERS its edge if left for half an hour
in water which contains sulphuric or
muriatic acid in the proportion of one
part by weight of acid to nineteen Of
water. The razor is carefully wiped on
being taken out of the calculated bath,
and passed over an oil-stone. The acid
bath is said not to hurt the blade; on
the contrary, the quality of the metal in
some cases improves by the immersion.
So with scythes and sickles. The time
lost in the harvest field in the early
morning in sharpening scythes would
be spared by laying the blades for half
an hour in bath prepared as above de-
scribed. AS soon as taken out of the
bath they should be wiped, and soft
sandstone hone passed along would leave
good and uniform edge behind it.
OFTEN in fine orchard we find one or
more trees leaning over so far as to de-
stroy the beauty of the whole orchard.
1t is also much more difficult to cultivate
around leaning tree. This may easily
be remedied while the trees are young,
by partially digging up and replanting
the trees. The roots will be found
smallest on the side from which the tree
leans; and, therefore, these roots should
be loosened from the earth, the tree set
in perpendicular position, and carefully
fastened by stakes and guys and the
earth replaced around the roots. 1t
would be well to add some rich compost
to promote their growth. If, as is very
probable, the top of the tree has become
one-sided, it should be pruned SOFAS to re-
store the balance. In this way we have
"righted up" pear trees six inches
through the.stem; but the best way is
to look after the young trees and not per-
nit them to depart from the way of up
riehtness.

A Hafr-KatsfnD Scene at q Church
An France.


A Paris letter says: The authorities
of Soudan, near Chateaubriant, recently
desired to remove the rusty cock that
surmounted the church steeple. A slater
was engaged to do the job. He had gone
two-thirds of the way up, when, losing
his balance as he threw the rope that
enabled him to climb higher, he began
to slip down the lightning rod with fear
full rapidity. He was ninety feet from
the ground when he began to lose hold.
He fell on the steeple's balustrade,
bounded on the church roof, rolled down
it, and fell on the ground. He got up
with no bones or skin broken, but SO
bruised and jostled he could not think of
again attempting to climb the lightning
rod. Another slater took his place. The
second slater, after trying in vain for
an hour to pull himself up to the cock,
in making a mora violent effort, broke
one of his stirrups or supports, and fell,
hanging head downward, one foot rest
ing in the stirrup which still held good.
He was a hundred and twenty feet from
the ground when this accident happened.
He could be seen making desperate efforts
to recover hold of the knotted rope !;
arms and one leg made convulsive
gestures as he strove to release himself
from his painful and dangerous posi-
ton. To add to the horror of the
spectacle, the wind blew with great VIC
lence, and the poor fellow swayed to and
fro, and was at times in danger of being
dashed to pieces against the steeple. At
length his strength became exhausted,
and he fell into swoon. From the
ground he seemed lifeless. A third
slater went to his assistance. Time and
again the third slater seemed on the
eve of success, but time and again the
body of the second slater fell with all its
weight, fearfully straining the rope, and
swaying in the air with dreadful oscilla-
tions. After striving for forty-fve min
utes the third slater was obliged to give
up in despair; his strength was COM
pletely exhausted. A fourth slater volun-
teered to attempt to rescue his comrade.
He climbed to the second slater, secured
a block and tackle, fastened rope
around the second slater's body, cut the
stirrup rope, and at last lowered the sec
ond slater to theground. The latter had
been three hours in the air, dangling by
one foot, head downward.

Supreme COMrf Decision IN a Con-
tested wa Case.

Some years ago an eccentric old man
died in New York City, and when his
will was opened it was found that he had
left only triAing amount of property to
his relations, but had made the United
States Government his heir in large
sum of money and quantity of real
estate. His name was Fox, and Annie
Fox, a niece, contested the will. The
Surrogate in New York decreed that the
will was void, as far as the estate was
concerned, because the United States
could not lawfully take and hold it as
aevisee, but that the will was operative
in regard to his personal property. An
appeal was taken, but the decision was
affirmed both by the Supreme Court and
the Court of Appeals of New York.
Finally it was taken to the Supreme
Court of the United States, where it was
decided at the late term, and the opinion
is just announced, affirming the decisions
of the lower courts. The point is estab-
lished that the United States Govern
ment cannot acquire real property ex-
cept where such property is needed for
public buildings or grounds. The ques-
ton in this particular case is one for
the State Courts to determine, because il
is in the power of the State to regulate
the tenure of real property within its
limits, the mode of acquisition and
transfer, and the rules of its descent.

THE house in which SO many persons
have been burned up in Boston was de-
signed to be a model tenement where
working people could be happy in a
small space, and at small &C st. No doubt
there were some conveniences not usually
found in five story barracks. Unfortu-

the confagration arose.

Nor long ago an aged lady of Fon-
taineble&u died leaving large property,
and, among other requests, left to local
physician who had long attended her a
huge oaken trunk, the opening of which
excited great expectations. But the
contents did not prove to be particularly
valuable. They were the drugs and
doses which he had supplied to her for
years past.

NASHVILLE american: A queer-look-
ing insect was taken from Vine-street
hydrant yesterday. 1t was about an
inch in length, and of light yellow
color. Along its back were two rows
of substance resembling delicate fringe,
which it kept constantly in waving mo-
ton. The eyes were black and remark
ably keen in expression. What ap-
peared to be three tails were connected
with hardly perceptible membrane,
and when spread out resembled a fan in
shape. This seemed to furnish the mo-
tive power in swimming, though in max
ing its way through the water it swan
more like a snake than fish. 1t was ex-
hibited to several scientific gentlemen,
but none of them had ever seen anything
like it before.

Men differ on nearly every issue. There
have always been opposite parties in politics
and religion, though the measures fought
over one day may be universally adopted at
another, snd those sacrificed regarded as
heroes and martyrs. Medicine has also been
subject to revolutionary disturbances. When
Drs. Harvey and Jenner announced their
discoveries, they were held in contempt and
ridicule by an incredulous and ignorant pub
lie, yet to-day they are received and honored
by all az benefactors. When DIR. Pierce an
nounced his Discovery, many seemed to
doubt, aud were steptical concerning all
medicines and doctors, but proof of merit
has dispelled Ell doubt, and to-day the Col
den Medical Discovery is the standard rem
edy in curing the most obstinate diseases OF
the liver and blood, having almost entirely
superseded the oid-time sarsaparillas by rea-
SOC of its superior merits.

on one of my legs. 1t was very troublesome
for over two years, so much so that could
not wear boot, and l had to keep my leg
bandaged. Itresulted in raw sore. Itgot
so bad that it became a general talk that |
would have to undergo amputation of the
limb. One physician told me he never saw
such a sore cured. / commenced taking
your Golden Medical Discovery together
with your Pellets as directed on the bottles,

remained so ever since,-a period of over
two years,-and l would not swap it for fifty

Go to the ant, thou weather prognos-
ticator; borrow her barometer and be
wise. Hours before the storm comes,
this intelligent insect knows of its ap-
proach. She feels it throughout her
small anatomy, and the cupboard where
the sweet bread is kept is instantly
deserted. She glides down the side of
the sugar-bowl which she had scaled but
a few minutes before, or halloos from the
top of the preserve jar to warn the red
hordes that are coming and going be-
meath her. Her voice may never be
heard by the imperfect human ear, but

like fire trumpet, and away they go,
getting into safe quarters long before
