A SIDE L1GHT-Never face the light when
at work, but contrive to have side light,
which will not shine directly in the eyes, In
the schools in Germany this matter has al
ready been attended to, and the rule adopted
is to have all the seats and tables 80 arranged
that the pupil never faces the windows, but
only has the side lights from the left; and, as
a light simultaneously thrown from two sides
gives an inference of shadows, it has been
strictly forbidden to build school.rooms with
windows on both sides, such illumination
having also proved injurious to the eyes of
the pupils. We may add to this advice not
to place the lamp in front of you when at
work in the evening, but little on one side ;
use shade-a green one is best, as it softens
the light-which illuminates only the work
upon which it falls.

"NO VACANCIES"

The Washington correspondent of the Hart
ford Times sends to that paper the following
story ofdepartment life in Washington Post
master General Key having officially and re-
peatedly made the announcement that there
are "no vacancies in his department., an
old post.ofice clerk is reminded of the fol-
lowing story told by the late John G. Rives
of the Globe. He says that Rives used
to tell the story on Major Hobbie, who for
many years was first assistant postmaster
general, and who, like our present high off,
cials, was ever ready with the fatal answer,
"no vacancy" to all applicants. Rives said
the major had promised to appoint friend
of his to the first vacancy and ne had called
on him repeatedly to fulfill that promise but
the nvariable answer, mo vacancy" was the
excuse, until he had about concluded to re-
linquish the matter as bad job. Atlength,
one day, his friend called on him out Of breath
from running, and told him that Mr.. Paine, a
post-office clerk, had just been drowned in
the canal, at the same time begging that he
would 20 with him to secure his place from
Major Hobbie. Thinking he had sure thing
this time, Mr.. Rives said, they both hastened
to the majors Office, and confidently renewed
their application. "No vacancy" said the
major. "Yes, there ia," said the applicant !;
"Paine is dead-drowned in the canal-and
have Just seen his body on the bank, await
ing the coroner's inquest" Whereupon Ma
jor Hobbie sent Immediately for his miscel-
laneous clerk, Mr.. Mari (who has acted in the
same capacity for every postmaster-general
since), and, to the astonishment of all present,
Marr confirmed the stereotyped reply, "no va.
cancy." But, yes, there is," the applicant
insisted "Paine is drowned; just saw his
dead body fished out of the canal" said Mr..
Rives. "How is this? is poor Paine really
gomez" "Certainly," said Mari "drowned
in the canal and his place soas filled an hour
ago by the appointment Of the man who sau
him fall in" Mr.. Rives said after this he
never tried again.
A MEMBER OF THE LEG1sLATURE-Du-
ring recent session of the United States cir
cult court at Portsmouth, the counsel for de-
fendant was examining witness with the
object of establishing the fact that the defen-
dant had been a member of the State legs-
lature, when his honor observed that it was a
pratuitous statement and not material. Coun-
sel-"But I think, your honor, it is evidence
of respectability for man to have been a
member of the legislature of this State. "
His Honor-"Hum-Ihav have my doubts about
that!" CounseN"I will not press the point,
your honor"

SURE CURE FOR FELoN.-Wind small
string around the finger (or other member)
above the felon, so that the latter will be be.
tween the string and the extremity of the
finger. This will prevent the blood from re-
turning through the veins which are near the
surface As soon as the veins are distended
(say after minute or more) remove the
string, and suddenly permit free circulation
After few moments repeat the whole pro-
cess, and continue to do so until there is en-
tire relief-say from twenty to sixty minutes.
The remedy-for q time-is as bad as the
disease but it will effect cure.
To CLEANSE NURSERY BoTTLEs.-After
the bottle has been used rinse it out with
warm water containing teaspoonful of pull
verized borax, and let it stand, shaking occa-
sionaly. If a rubber tube is used, let it re-
main in borax water until needed. Borax
will sweeten it quickly. In removing the
tube or bottle from the borax water it is not
necessary to rinse it in clear water. The
little borax that remains on it will prove
a benefit, especially if the child's mouth is
sore.
SHELTER.-It is absolutely necessary that
all animals should be we'll sheltered from
damp and cold. The reason why pigs or 9th.
er animals do not fatten so readily in cold
weather as in the warmer months is, that the
food is largely used in keeping up the vital
heat, which is now given off in excess, and
lost If this loss is prevented, animals will!
fatten in winter as readily as at any other
time.

acid gas, the destroyer of our ability to resist
the influence of fever-poison it behooves the
people to give their serious attention to its
cultivation, as a crop alike beneficial to their
health and general prosperity. We recon-
tain whether or not those sections Of country
where clover is largely cultivated are re.
markable for freedom from malarious dis
eases.
Our experience is that clover should be
sown the first season in October, on land
thoroughly prepared, and if not already we'll
manured, add, according to fertility, one hun
dred to two hundred pounds fertilizer to the
acre, or sufficient to standard that will yield
fifteen to twenty bushels of wheat or corn to
the acre. Ploughing deep and close, SOW seed
at the rate of ten pounds to the acre, passing
a light brush over the ground, or, if roller is
on hand, roll, which covers the seed sufficient
" deep for termination. Avoid covering too
Deep In the spring-say in March-add one
hundred pounds of ground plaster to the acre
while the plant is damp. If seasonable, a fair
crop may be cut in June. When moved, add
one hundred pounds of plaster to the acre,
and so on after each cutting and in the spring
following. Failing to get a stand, NOW in
the fall Prepare the same land and SOW in
February, using one.quarter bushel oats or
rye to the acre plough under the grain and
brush or roll under the seed as above.
Clover may be sown with small grain and
full crop of the latter made, thus making
small grain pay the expenses of the crop; but
when clover is the main object and to be cut
the first year, no grain should be sown with it.
When not over onefourth of the bloom
turns brown, the crop should be moved, and if
the mower is used, all moved during the day
should be put in cocks. Two hours exposure
the day following will ordinarily be sufficient

A gentleman in this city recently re- ceived letter from friend residing at Albany flat. Calaveras county. relating the circumstance of the discovery of that delicious edible, subterranean fungus, known as the truf1e. The truffie is very valuable. So highly is it prized for it's delicate havoring qualities that it is worth, in California, at least five dollars pound. All of the article of use, in this9 country is imported from France, where itis found in abundance. The common itruffae is of an irregular globular form, having hard. black or brown rind with ali interior tex ture netted or veined or mottled like the nutmeg. It is found ten or twelve inch. es below the surface of the ground, in calcareous soil, covered with moist, light vegetable mould. in young woods, or un. der the the shade of large oak trees. It has neither root, stem nor other append age, and ranges in size from that of bean to that of an English walnut The flesh is solid, and somewhat juicy. and when ripe of sharp fragrant order. When the air is moist, and just before thunder shower, they are said to emit a peculiar odor which facilitates their search and such is the esteem in which they are held that dogs are trained to hunt for them and dig them out of the ground. Truff1es are rarely found in the United States. and the discovery of an edible species in California will be hailed as one of the greatest importance.-Stockton {Cal.) Independent.
