Brilliant Whitewash.

A correspondent wishes the receipt given
some years since for the whitewash used on
the east end of the White House. For
her benefit and the benefit of others, it is
repeated. Take one-half bushel of nice
unslacked lime, slack it with boiling water; /;
cover it during the process to keep in the
steam. Strain the liquid through a fine
seive or strainer, and add to it a peck of
salt, previously dissolved in warm water :;
three pounds of ground rice, boiled to a
thin. paste; One-half pound 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 a small kettle within larger
one filled with water. Add five gallons of
hot water to the mixture, stir it well, and
let it stand for few days covered from
dust. 1t should be put on hot, and for this
purpose it can be kept in a 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 neatness of the Job
required. 1t answers as we'll as oil paint
Tor wood, brick, or stone, and is cheaper.
1t retains its brilliancy for years. There is
nothing of the kind that will compare with
it, either for inside or outside walls. Build
ings and fences covered with it will take
longer 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 according to
the quantity. A delicate tinge of this is
very pretty for inside walls Finely pull
verified common clay. well 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 expert
ments on a shingle and let it dry. Green
must not be mixed; it destroys the color,
and the color has an effect on the white
wash which makes it crack and peel.-N.

The DELUGE DEMoLIsHED.-In New York
Sunday evening DR.. Boynton spoke on
"The Deluge in the Light of Science" He
began with a quotation from St. Paul
which tells us to believe all things. Dr.
Boynton does not believe in this manner
He pins his faith on investigating all things
He classified the deluge with the expedi
tiOn for the Golden Fleece and other classi
cal legends of ancient history, and treated
its traditional place in history as virtually a
myth. He conceded that substratum of
truth might have underlan this great
legend of the food, inasmuch as there was
undoubtedly an extensive flood in the
southern portion of Babylon. 1t probably
umbodied, in the doctors opinion, a great
physical change that came over the globe,
and which perhaps was the cause of the
migration OF the people. DR.. Boynton,
arrived at these results from the examina-
ton of the fossil remains and the most
recent geological Investigations. The
doctor will hardly succeed, however, in
getting people to dismiss for ever Noah's
beloved and familiar ark, with all the
animals in it, together with all other cher.
ished paraphernalia of the deluge.

The wages of farm hands and of labors
generally are coming down all over the
country. In Texas farmers pay half a
dollar day and board, or SI2 so per month
and board, and find no difficulty in getting
an ample supply at these rates. In the
middle States the rates are also falling.
Before the war monthly wages for farm
hands, day-laborers, coachmen, etc.,
averaged from $l2 to sl5 per month with
board, and gardeners received from $25 to
$50 without board. Provisions, clothing
and general personal expenses are as low
to-day, as at that time, hence there is no
reason in the world why wages should not
fall reasonably, especially as business is
duller now than it has been for twenty-five
years.

How are the best results obtained in
green manuring? The best results come
with grain crop that is sown thick. In
plowing do not turn down too deep; few
inches is sufficient. This keeps the
strength near the surface, where the sun
has better effect upon it, converting it
into plant food. DO not sow Immediately
after turning down the crop, but wait
especially if the crop be advanced corn
until it has had time to decompose, and
the soil has had a chance to act upon and
with the crop. If the crop turned down is
quite heavy after it is rotted, mix the soil
and decayed material by using the cultiva.
