that the Presidents purpose is TO divide

basis, declares his desire to see the color

on the fact that the general line of poll.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

To Take Out Glass Shoppers from Bottles.
Amateurs are often troubled to do this in
obstinate cases, and will be grateful for the
following practical hints On the subject, con-
denced from the Druggists Circular: ''When
only water has been in the bottle, the best
way is to apply heat to the neck of the bottle.
To do this successfully, without breaking the
bottle, the wick of spirit lamp is trimmed so
as to give fame of about the size of the
neck of the vial. The bottle is held in the
flame with the two hands and turned as
rapidly, as possible, while its neck is miners
ed in the middle of the flame. From time
to time the vial is taken out of the fire, and
the stopper tried. If holds fast, the bottle
is heated again without loss of time, until the
stopper comes out; then bottle and stopper
are allowed to cool separately, The whole
operation takes generally from four to ten
seconds. In sknlful hands it is invariably
successful in less time than it takes to explain
the manipulation; but beginners, through
injudicious heating g, generally break the first
bottle which they try to open. When the
bottle contains other liquids than water, it is
necessary, before applying heat, to dissolve
out any substance that may have dried be-
tween the stopper and the neck of the bottle.
To effect this, the bottle is inserted in a small
graduate containing the appropriate solvent,
that is water for sugary liquids or other solu-
BILE substances, alcohol for resinous bodies ,ect.
After six Or eight hours, the stopper is fire..
quently found unloosened without the use of
other means, By the way, the heat is appli-
ed as rapidly as possible, because it is import
ant that the neck of the bottle should become
warmed and thereby dilated, before the stop
per has had time to expand also. In some
cases it is impossible to open the bottle at all
without breaking it: this happens when it
contains or has contained alkalies, their car
Donates, ect., which completely soldiers the
glass together. 1t is almost unnecessary to
add that alcoholic and ethereal liquids require
the utmost caution avoid accidents.

every nine out of ten adults in this whole region
of country is afflicted with Catarrh. 1t seems to be
dramatically epidemic out in this atmosphere Mr..
Smith tells me that the three dozen bottles of RAD
ICAL CURE were Immediately sold, and that he
had forty orders for within the last three weeks
but had none here to supply from.''
The Mr.. Smith referred to is of the firm of Smith
& Doll, furniture dealers, Denver. When in Boston
about year ago he purchased eleven bottles Of
Catarrh Remedy, and one of SANFoRD's RADICAL
CURE the latter at the earnest request of personal
acquaintance. He had seen the first named remedy
but had not heard of the latter Shortly after his
arrival in Denver we received order for dozen of
the RADICAL CURE, and soon another with the
pleasing intelligence that Mr.. Smith was cured The
prevalence of the disease, coupled with the recon-
mendations of Mr.. Smith, soon created a lively
demand, and without advertising nearly three
hundred bottles were sent out. This is a striking
illustration of what is frequent done for this remedy

Wood Rendered IncombustibIe.

Since it has been discovered that cloth can
be made almost indestructible by fire, we see
no good reason why Vood cannot be treated
by similar process, and, practicable, we
may yet have houses, with their contents, en-
tirely fireproof. The Boston Journal of
Chemistry says that it not only can be done,
but that it has been demonstrated by the most
rigid experiment that wood immersed in a
pickle ia solution oftungstate ofsoda cannot
be ignited under any ofthe ordinary conditions
to which it may be exposed. The tupgstate
is made by the addition of tungtsate of lime
to hydrochloric acid and salt, affording as by
product chloride of lime in large quantities.
The action Of the tungstate upon soft woods
is to render them quite hard as well as incom-
bustible, and it also acts as a preservatiye
against dry rot.
Sticks and boards of the prepared wood
have been saturated with kerosene oil and set
on fire; the oil burned off entirely without ig.
hitting the wood. Two small houses have
been built, one Of ordinary pine wood the 9TH
er OF the prepared wood, and fires of great ur-
gency kindled in each. The one Of ordinary
was quickly consumed, while the other was
left only slightly eharred. There is no doubt
that all the woodwork of.theatres can be made
practically incombustible, and at no very
great cost. A bath of tungstate of soda, con-
sisting of several thousand gallons, can be
employed, and sufficient wood to construct
all the scenery and appliances ola theatre can
be prepared in a few weeks time; and the
painted canvas also can be treated in the
same way. Even if oil colors were used on
the canvas, we think it could not readily ig
mite.
The attention of the theatre managers
should be called to this subject, and the au.
thorities of cities should insist upon having
every means used which modern science
suggests to prevent fires in public buildings.
