GREASE SroTs.-The best material for
cleaning coat collars and grease spots
of all kinds is pure benzine The article
is sold at the principal drug store, in
the cities. That used by painters is
not pure enough, and has very I'M
pleasant oaor, which the pure article
has not, and the little which it has soon
disappears If this cannot be obtained,
strong alcohol 90 per cent? will clean
collars very well. A mixture Of equal
parts Of strong alcohol and water Of
is also used. The trouble
With all these liquids is that not enough
is used small quantity only softens
and spreads the grease spot; they should
be applied in sufficient quantity, and
not only to dissolve tho
foreign matter, but to wash it out.

near Morley, in Scott county, Mo.
About year ago Mr.. Smith captured
two young wild geese, and raised them
with the balance of his domestic goslings.
The wild ones became quite tame, and
took kindly to the changes of civilized
life. They adapted their habits to the
ordinary delights of the barnyard, and
swan in the pond with the tame geese,
without showing disposition to go on u
wild-goose chase. About the 4th of No
vember, the weather began to change,
and after being domesticated some eight
months, the wild fellows, prompted by
instinct to seek more sunny cline on
the approach of winter, spread their
wings to the breeze and started on a
migratory tour, flying southwark. Their
departure was natural and to be expected.
After an absence of two months, early in
January, great was Mr.. Smiths surprise
to find, on getting up one morning, that
the two wild geese had returned TO their
old haunts on his farm. They not only
returned, but eleven more wild geese
came with them as visitors, which they
piloted safely from some southern bayou.
The new comers made themselves at
home, and were fed and fondled by the
children. They came up to the mill at
feeding time to get their rations, and
gabbled all together, and put on the airs
of civilized geese who have had a good
moral training"

We learn wisdom from our failure
much more than from success. We
often discover what will do by finding
out what will not do; and probably he
who never made mistake never made a
discovery. Horne Tooke used to say of
his studies in intellectual philosophy,
that he had become all the better ac-
quainted with the country through hav-
ing had the good luck sometimes to lose
his way.

A solemn warning comes across the
sea. Professor Piazzi Smith, astronomer
royal for Scotland, writes to Nature that
having recently concluded his computa-
tions of all the observations at the
Royal Observatory at Edinburgh from
1887 to the present time he finds that in
the thirty-nine years three, great heat
waves, from without, struck that part of
the earth the first in 1846, the second
in 1858, and the third in 1868. Unless
some very complete alteration in the
weather is to take place, the next such
visitation may be looked for in 1879. An
examination of the records shows that
the periods of greatest cold are not mid
way between periods of greatest heat,
but comparatively close up to the crests
of the heat-waves ON either side, at
distance of about year and a half, so
that the next such cold wave is due at
the end of the present year. It is pos
sible the Scottish astronomer-royal with
the Italian English name is mistaken.
1t may be that the cold and hot waves
may chase each other up and down the
Edinburg sleeps without even a spray
drop reaching rs. But it is well to be
on the side of prudence and see that
the coal bin is prepared for cold Christ
mas and last years listers put in order
for frigid New Years calls. Cleveland

A policeman hunting in a Sharon
house for Charles Lockwood, who had
broken out of the Litchfeld Jail, was just
about giving it up, when he saw human
nose sticking out of the oellar-earth un-

that Lockwood was neatly buried, and
that the officer had been unwittingly
