Usef,si Information.

THE SCOT from the chimneys should be
saved. A PITT of SCOT to a pailful of
water will make liquid manure ofgreat
value for flower beds and plants of all
kinds.
COAL ashes scattered on the stable
floor will absorb the liquid manure, pre-
vent the cattle from slipping and falling,
afford an excellent addition to the pick
ings of poultry around the place, and can
afterwards be spread on the soil.
A SOUTH CAROLINA boy says that
weevils will not trouble corn If it is put
into the crib in wet weather, or when
slightly damp, claiming that the heating
which generally follows through the
presence OF moisture, kills the eggs of the
insect.
A FEvERIsH thirst that refuses to be
quenched by drinking water may be al
layed in the following manner: Throw
slice of bread upon burning coal, and
when it is all ahame throw it into a
tumbler of water. This remedy has been
tested and proved good.
THE recipe for the original Spaldings
Glue (which is as good as any of the
sticking preparations to be used cold), is
as follows: To one pound of good glue
put three pints of cold water and let it
soak fifteen hours, then melt in a hot
water bath when melted and thoroughly
mixed, add one quart Of crude acetic
acid and three ounces of cheap glycerine
and stir well together. If too thick, add
more acetic acid. Vinegar in the place
of the acid won't answer.
IRoE as building material does not
| 6ud much favor from writer in the
Building Neaos. The artistic treatment of
iron in houses, he thinks, is only advi-
sable in exceptional cases, where there is
no danger of fire. Cast-iron columns,
when red-hot, will not support their OWE
weight, and the temperature of burn
ing building far exceeds red heat.
Where iron is used at all, the duty of the
architect, he says, is to imbed it 80 deeply
in some other material, that not par
ticle of it can be seen as q main struct-
ural feature. So extreme is his hostility
to iron in fre-proof buildings, that he
says, "avoid iron-werk as you would
gun-powder."

A Springdeld Republican correspondent
writes from Charlestown, S. c.. Dr.
Shepard pointed out to me the position
of General Gilmore's swamp angel :"
battery, and said that only the other day
his workmen dug up one of the unex-
ploded shot in the Medical College yard.
1t was rather large for war souvenir,
and about as dangerous as rattlesnake,
The cap was perfect, all ready for the
light tap that would explode it. No
soaking would ruin the powder filling,
and so after looking it over he had it
carefully and deeply reburied, he hopes,
beyond resurrection. A negro some time
ago found one of them, and thought he
would break it up and sell it for old iron.
He got sledge hammer and struck it on
the point 1t exploded, blew the roof OF
the house off, and dealt destruction in
every direction, but strangely Sambo was
not injured beyond being stunned by the
conclusion. He reused himself, looked
wildly around and exclaimed: "Lordy

Warnings of this kind appear to do
but little good, as the victims are
gene rally men too stingy to subscribe for
a newspaper, but we float this at a
venture
The latest fraud on the farming COM
munity is the springfield swindle, the
modus operandi of which is as follows:
The first Of the gang engages storage
room in the farmers barn, for spring
beds, representing himself as agent for
the manufacturers. He gets the victim
to write down his name and address, and
departs. Shortly aftes ard another
stranger informs the farmer that the
spring beds he ordered are at the door
and presents his bill for large invoice.
The farmer disclaims the transaction,
upon which the collector shows him his
signature to large order for beds. If he
still refuses TO settle, two more strangers
visit him representing themselves to be
the lawyers of the company. They
threaten legal proceedings, but are will
ing to compromise for portion of the
claim.

In one state of New Granada the right
of asking is promiscuously exercised by
both sexes, who, when they feel the pas
sion of love declare it without the least
embarrassment; and among the Cossacks
the same thing is said to be carried still
further, and the women more generally
court than the men. When a young
woman falls in love with a man, she is
not in the least ashamed to go to his
fathers house and reveal her passion in
the most pathetic manner, and to prom
Use submission and obedience if he will
accept of her for wife. Should the
insensible man pretend any excuse, she
tells him she has resolved never to go
out of the house till he gives his consent !;
and, accordingly, taking up her lodging,
remains there. If he still obstinately
refuses her, his case is exceedingly dis
tressing; the church is commonly on her
side, and to turn her out would provoke
all her kindred to revenge her honor; SO
that he has no method left but to betake
himself to fight till she is otherwise dis
posed of.
AS the two sexes in Greece had but
little intercourse with each other, and a
lover was seldom favored with an oppor-
tunity of telling his passion to his mis-
tress, he used to discoverit by inscribing
her name on the walls of his house, on the
bark of the trees of public walk, or the
leaves of book; it was customary for
him also to deck the door of the house
where his fair one lived with flowers and
garlands; to make libations of wine
before it, in the manner that was
practiced at the temple of Cupid. When
love affair did not prosperin the hands
of Greek b. did not endeavor to be-
come more engaged in his manner or
person he did not lavish his fortune in
presents, or become more obliging or
assiduous in his addresses, but immedi-
ately had recourse to incarnation and
philtres, in composing and dispensing of
which the women of Thessaly were
reckoned the most famous, and drove a
traffic in them o no uncomfortable advan-
tage. These potions were given by the
women to the men, as wellas by the men
to the women, and were generally 20
violent in their operation as for some
time to deprive the person who took
them of sense, and not uncommonly of
life

Household Helps.

To DRESS FISH SECOND TIME,-To
small quantity of fish taken from the
bones, add four tablespoonfuls of bread
crumbs, two eggs, two ounces of butter,
little essence of anchovy, and little
pepper and salt. Mix these all well to-
gether then steam it until well heated.
SLEEPING HINTs.-If sleeping with the
mouth open should make the throat
sore, pass broad elastic band from
the anterior portion of the lower jaw over
top of head, and make it sufficiently
tight to keep the teeth closed if the
throat continues sore use earple of
chlorate Of potassa, Iii one dram to
three ounces of water, three or four times
daily.
RHUBARB PUDDING.-Take off the
thin skin, cut the stalks in small pieces /;
cover the bottom of buttered pudding
dish with slices of bread well buttered !;
cover with rhubarb and sprinkle abund-
antly with sugar; then put another laver
of buttered bread, and SO until your dish
Is full Cover the pudding-dish and set
it in quick oven for half an hour. Re-
move the cover and bake until brown.
SAvoRY BEEF.-Get shin of beef
sawed in four pieces; boil it till the
meat and gristle drop from the bones.
Chop the meat fine, season with salt, pep
Per, sage, or sweet mari ram, to your
taste. Put in tin pan or deep dish,
strain over the liquor in which the meat
was boiled, after skimming off the fat
which makes frst-rate shortening-and
set away in cold place over night Cut
in slices Ike cheese and eat cold.
Slowed chicken, freed from all bones,
and prepared in the same way, is very
good fer lunch, or sandwiches.

A duty assigned to the police was to
watch all strangers that came into the
city, and whittle every suspicious person
out of town. This whiting process was
peculiar. Some ten or fifteen Mormons
would get around the man they wanted
to drive away, each with keen ground
butcher knife, and piece Of soft wood
in his hands. They were to crowd close
up to him and commence whiting. all
cutting toward him, but no one APP
parently paying the least attention to
the stranger. Surrounded and threat
ened thus, the poor man was compelled
to retreat from the town. On his retreat
hewas surrounded by whittlers whiting,
whiting, some of them making skittish
lunges toward his breast and arms. If
he took his escort quietly, very we'll. If he
was foolish enough to resist or threaten,
be was very likely to be put out of
the way.
