Things Worth Knowing.

SPIcRD PEARs.--To every ten pounds
of good favored pears take five pounds
OF white sugar, one quart of strong cider
vinegar, one ounce of stick cinnamon
and orb ounce of whole allspice. Boil
the sugar and vinegar, skim thorough
ly; add the spices and the pears, letting
the latter boil slowly until tender. II
the skins are tough, they should be re-
moved.
A CLEANSING FLUID.--A lady contrib
utes to the Chicago Tribune the follow
ing recipe for cleansing fluid which
she has used to wash alpaca, camels
hair, and other wooden goods, and finds
it invaluable for removing marks that
little hands have made on furniture, car
pets, rugs, etc. Four OF. ammonia
OF. white CASTLE soap 2 OF. alcohol; 2
or. glycerine or. ether. Cut the
soap fine; dissolve in quart of water
over the fire; add 4 quarts water. When
nearly cold add the other ingredients.
This will make nearly 8 quarts, and will
cost about rs cents to make it. 1t must
be put in bottle and stoppered tight.
1t will keep good any length of time.
When wash dress goods take pail of
luke-warm water, and put in about a
teacupful of the fluid, shake around
well in this, and then rinse in plenty of
clean water, and iron on wrong side
while damp. For washing grease from
coat-collars, ETC.. 1 merely take little
of the fluid in cup of water, apply with
o clean rag, and wipe well with second
clean rag. It will make everything
wooden look bright and fresh.
SOMETHING WORTH KNowINa.-Not-
withstanding the fact that temperance
has been advocated over forty years, and
that science and experience are on our
side. there are thousands of persons
who still cling to the idea that drink is
essential for their sustenance and we'll
being. The following facts are well
worth the study of I'LL such, and will be
interesting to those who are already en-
gagged in the good work In the village
of DELPHI, Saddleworth, there is at the
present time existing Rechabite Tent,
numbering 43 members. 1t was formed
in 1862, and during the whole period
of over twenty-three years there has
not been single death amongst its
members.
To make green pickles quickly, put
your materials that will bear an egg.
Let them remain fortnight, or as long
as you choose to keep them, be it for six
months or year, only taking care to
scald them occasionally. Then take
them out, and soak them in weak vinegar
for several days. Then scald them in
spiced vinegar, prepared as follows, ia
king care to secure the top to keep the
flavor in Sweeten to your taste. The
spices to be used are, to two gallons OF
vinegar two ounces of long pepper, one
tea-spoonful of cloves, one tea-spoonful
of mace, two table-spoonfuls of white
ginger, one-quarter of q pound OF mus
tard seed, a little horse-radish, and nut
meg. If you would like to color your
pickles yellow. add tablespoonful OF
turmeric to the prepared vinegar.

mediocre atmosphere of the counter.
Oh, kind luck MOST beneficent for
tune
And in this blissful reflection. and
the agreeable companionship of Miss
Vance, our hero became quite regard
less of the glances and giggles of party
OF ladies in the saloon, whose silk-dra-
period window commanded O fine view
of the incipient Irritation.
"Envious, I suppose" said Mr.. Top
haven to himself. "Let 'em laugh. I
can afford to laugh one of these days"
Where do you stop?" asked the
lady, presently.
do you mean OF Long Branch?"
asked our hero.
"Of course; where else should I
mean?"
"Oh," said Mr.. Tophaven, cat the
West End Hotel, of course.
Z" We AFRO at the Ocean," said the
young lady.
II wonder if 1 may dare assume the
privilege of calling?' simpered Mr..
Tophaven.
II shall be most happy, I'm sure"
said the fair one.
And Mr.. Tophaven mentally calucla-
ted the expediency of telegraphing back
to his employers total remuneration Of
his post, and trying the credit system
for while at Long Branch, in view of
the dazzling prize before him.
Nothing venture, nothing have"
meditated Mr.. Tophaven. "I've mind
to risk it,"
But there is pathetically true poem
which says
"How softly falls the foot of Time.
That only treads on flowers"
And the shrill clang Of the boat bell
announced their arrival at Sandy Hook
at this juncture.
MERCY, are we here Already" cried
the gray-silk young lady, jumping up;
and at the same moment o shrill voice,
proceeding from the giggling party
within, called out
MARY Ann! Mary Ann! quick here
with the shawls; and be sure You are
very careful with the canary"
It was stout, elderly person, who
bore the unmistakable aspect Of child
ren's nurse, who uttered these crisp di-
rections.
AS the young person in gray silk hur-
ried into the cabin, Mr.. Tophaven, with
an awful presentment in his heart, pull
ed the elderly persons sleeve.
"Look here" whispered he conf
dentially, isn't that young lady Miss
Vane?"
"Miss Vane |" echoed the woman,
loud enough to attract the attention of
two or three people around her, and
suffuse our heros ingenious face with
bushes. ga likely notion. It's Mary
Ann Stivers, Miss Vane's maid. Now,
then, make room for Miss Vane's little
sisters, as is my particular charge, and
don't elbow 'em off the boat, If you
please"
Mr.. Tophaven didn't get off the boat
at all.
He went back to New York on her
return trip, and has very wisely aban-
doned oil hopes Of marrying an heiress.
And he says that Miss Mary Ann was
"a deceitful MINK" and feels awful saw
age when he thinks how he was "sold. y

AIR THE BEST REMEDY.-The conclu-
sion reached by late observers is in fa-
vor of the open air treatment of con-
sumption. The following case, given
in the British Medical Journal, is illus
trative: "An officer of regiment con-
tracted phthisis when stationed in the
south OF England. He was under med
ical treatment some time, and had the
usual sick leave, but, on his return to
duty, got worse again in the same way
The next time he was invalided with the
upper lobe of the right lung seriously
involved, in the third stage, with cavi-
ties. and he was examined by the usual
medical board, and finally he sold out
of the service and regiment. Under
medical advice he took to travelling
about this country and the continent, to
riding on horseback instead Of walking,
and attending the meetings Of the
hounds frequently. Two or three years
then elapsed, during which his case
was withdrawn from my observation; ;
and / was surprised to meet him one
day in the summer ct . cricket ground,
looking quiet recovered. This report,
by Surgeon Major w. T. Black, leads
him to formulate the proposition: 1T is
living in the open air in q fine climate
that is really beneficial for consumption,
and not the mere climate OF ITSELF" ''If
this is not new, it is, at least, too often
forgotten. "says the Medical and Surgi-
cal Reporter. IA friend Of ours, med
ical gentleman who has suffered from
phthisical symptoms. and has travelled
largely, has landed the climate of South
Africa as best suited for open air life in
winter. The recently published book Of
DIR. Arthur Leared, Morocco and the
Moors,' informs us that at Tangier the
accommodation is good and the cost Of
living decidedly cheap. The ordinary
summer temperature ranges between
seventy eight and eighty-two degrees
Fab. The mean temperature OF winter
is about ffty-six degrees Fab.

A Novel Way OF Dealing With High
waymen.

The Chicago Tribune OF a recent date
says: Quite number of people have
been stopped recently in well-lighted
and well-traveled neighborhoods, and
compelled to give up what money and
valuables they had, at the solicitation OF
two or three highwaymen, who pointed
pistols ut them by way o: suggestion.
This class of gentry are hard to catch,
since they never appear in tho same vi
cinity twice. A novel plan, however,
has been devised, which promises to be
successful, although it may bo attended
with the shedding of blood. 1t has been
called trolling Fifteen or twenty OF
the best-looking patrolmen arc to be
dressed like business men, and scattered
through the localities where people live
who are apt to be attacked for their
wealth. They will walk along quietly,
assume to be under the influence of
liquor if occasion requires it, and wait
to be called upon to stand and deliver.
They will deliver lead, not lucre, for
the orders say Shoot if the highwaymen
present revolvers. To guard against
being overpowered, two officers will
travel together--not side by side, but
one will be half block or block be-
hind, with overshoes on, so that his
steps cannot be heard. This scheme
will undoubtedly work we'll, and, as not
over half q dozen men are doing this
Claude Duval business, it cannot be
long before they are in the County Jail
or in the Potter's field. Assistant Super
intendent Dixon, who is author OF this
plan, is confident of its success, and it is
TO be hoped that he will not be disap-
pointed. The only way to get rid OF the
foot. pad, who is a meaner thief than the
burglar, is to shoot him on sight. Pub
lie sentiment would justify the officers
who do it, and gold-headed cane
would perhaps be presented the officer
who kills the first one"
