WE HAVE always sYmpathzed with Eve
in this matter aud have never been able to
acquit Adam Of doing mean thing in try
ing to throw the blame Of his temptation on
her. 1t was his business, being the stronger,
to resist the curiosity to taste the fruit, and
he had no right to hold her responsible be-
cause he also took bite. The probability
is that he was just as anxious to Investigate
the fruit Of the tree Of knowledge as she was
and that hc deserved his punishment as much
as she did hers, no fair man who looks at
the transaction after this long lapse of years
will deny. Still we advise women to leave
preaching to men aud content themselves with
praoticiDg,-N Y. Sm.

TnE Way OUT OF DRBT.-Farmers must
bear in mind there is no way but hard one
out Of debt. Signing and wishing to be out
OF debt will never get one out. Ii man is
in mire he will remain there till he dies,
unless he struggles to get on hard soil. To
get out Of debt, one must sell more than he
buys. lie must make his incomes greater
than his Out.goes He must earn more than
he spends. lie must receive more than he
pays out. lie must so manage as to lessen
his indebtedness somewhat every year. lie
must be economical and not extravagant. He
must certainly know at the end Of the year
what his receipts and expenses have been.
He can then tell what the future prospects
will be OF becoming free man. A man who
is in debt is not free man. He is a slave.
He belongs to his creditors, and the deeper
his indebtedness, the worse his slavery. lie
is not happy man. His mind is harassed
to meet his obligations. If he fails to do it,
he suffers indescribable misery So, farmers
be on the safe side. Manage to get out Of
debt Keep out Save. EconOmize. Mar
ket everything you can when it is in its best
state for market. Sell this year more than
you buy.-RlraL World.

Blue glass may or may not be a "big
thing as a curative. Doe thing is absolute
ly certain. Effsctual ventilation or moisten-
ing OF the air Is the greatest thing as a pre-
ventive. Ventilation by windows, however,
is attended by more or less danger of giving
colds. Therefore to avoid the risk, purify
the air in the room by process of moisture,
such as placing several layers of water one
above the other equally distanced, aud al
lowing the air Of the room TO have free course
in rushing between these layers. This pro-
cess preserves a golden mean between the

HYDRAULIC RAMs-A correspondent Of

try to use the ram useless your spring af.
iords continually four times as much water
as you wish to raise. Again, if your epring
is on fiat ground it will not be economy to
purchase ram, because you will be obliged
to dig an expensive stall race" as Califor-
mans would say, for the surplus water re.
qulred to work the ram, to pass off in, as
your ram must be few feet lower than the
spring. Now if your spring affords boun-
tiful supply Of water constantly, aud it is
situated on side hill or a gentle decline so
that you can get the requisite fall without
too much digging it will work first rate,
do not use iron pipes unless you know they
will not rust under any circumstances what
ever. If you do your patience will be ex.
hausted, your money lost, for your water
will not be fit for use. When you think OF
laying an aqueduct get a small piece of the
SO called galvanized iron pipe, and try it
both under and above ground, aud satisfy
yourself that it will effectually resist oxyda.

The White House Whltewash.

A correspondent wishes the recipe given
some years ago for the whitewash used on
the east end of the White House. For her
benefit and the benefit of others, it is re.
peated. Take one-half bushel of nice un.
Stacked lime, slack it with boiling water
cover it during the process to keep in the
steam. Strain the liquor through a fine
sieve or strainer, and add to it peck of salt,
previously well dissolved in warm water ;
three pounds of ground rice, boiled to thin
paste; one-half pound of powdered Spanish
whiting, and one pound of clean glue, which
has been previously dissolved by soaking it
well, and then hang it over a slow fire
in small kettle within larger
one filed with water. Add FIVE gallons of
hot water to the mixture, stir 1t well, and let
it stand few days covered from dust. 1t
should be put on hot, aud for this purpose it
can be kept in kettle on portable furnace.
1t is said that about pint of this mixture
will cover square yard upon the outside Of
house, if properly applied. Fine or coarse
brushes may be used, according to the neat.
ness Of the job required. 1t answers as well
as oil paint for wood, brick, or stone, and is
cheaper. 1t retains its briliancy for many
years. There is nothing of the kind that
will compare with it, either for inside or
outside walls. Buildings or fences covered
with it will take much longer time to burn
than if they were painted with oil paint
Coloring matter may be put in and made of
any shade desired. Spanish brown will make
reddish pink when stirred in, more or less
deep according to the quantity. A delicate
tinge OF this is very pretty for inside walls.
Finely puIverized common clay. we'll mixed
with Spanish brown, makes reddish stone
color; yellow ochre stirred in makes yellow
wash, but chrome goes further. and makes a
color generally esteemed prettier. 1t is
difficult to make rules, because tastes are
different; it would be best to try experiments
on shingle and let it dry. Green must not
be mixed with lime; it destroys the color,
and the color has an effect on the whitewash
which makes it crack and peel-M YTriB.

eE Merriweather lives in one of row
of houses which, as is generally the case
in Allentown, are uniform. He thought
the other night he would scare Mrs.
Merriweather while she was in bed, so
he rose and dressed in his night shirt,
and went upon the roof while she slept.
He tieda nail upon piece of string, lay
down on the cornic, leaned over and
tapped the bedroom window with the
nail. Mrs. Merriweather meanwhile
was not asleep, but she followed him up,
shut the trap-door in the loft and went
back to bed. Merriweather concluded
to give it up and turn in, but to his
dismay the trap would not open. To
make matters worse, policeman who
had been watching him felt certain he
was burglar, and began to practise at
him with his revolver. The manner in
which that old man lodged about those
chimneys, clad in that simple robe of
white, would have done credit to per-
former on the flying trapeze. At last he
came to his trap-door, and, finding that
it had been opened, he went down. On
Dcu-iOOllY nC saw Ildi
turning down the gas. AS soon as he
shouted "thieves, +" the man also shouted,
and the woman in the room gave wild
and awful yell. Then the man turned
up the gas and seized a pistol, and as
Merriweather dashed down stairs he
perceived that he had got into the wrong
house. AS he flew to the parlor and
hid under the sofa, the other man woke
the whole neighborhood with rattle,
and in ten minutes six policemen came
in, and after search dragged Merri-
weather out and dragged him to the
station house. When he came out in
the morning he walked home in q pair
of the turkeys pants, and began to eat
his breakfast without asking a blessing,
and when Mrs. Merriweather inquired
whether his muttered calculations,
"fool' and idiot" referred to her, he
said she might wear them if they fit her.
He will probably not play any fresh
practical jokes on Mrs. Merriweather
soon again.
