A FARMERS BooTs.-In past years,
when boy, l was often bothered to
get a pair of cow-hide boots on in the
morning, when they had been saturated
with water the day before. At last
adopted the plan of filling them with
grain, oats preferably, upon pulling
them off the night before. If in addition
to this they have a little Oil rubbed in
before pulling on in the morning, it
will assist in keeping the feet dry
during the day. If boots are muddy
they should be washed with soap suds
before being pulled off at night, and, if
oiled before going to bed, or when half
dry, they will be found soft and pliable
IN the morning.

THE BLUEs.-"Do you ever have the
blues?" asks sufferer from that malady,
land is there a cure for them?" Seer
tainly," replies physician, "plenty of
them; just as there are for chills and
fever, but in like manner they will not
always work. We know one man who
walks off an attack, another who rows
it of, another who rides it off in the
saddle. These are all dyspeptics. The
same prescriptions, aided perhaps by
lemon juice or diluted nitro-muriatic
acid, often prove effective in the case
of bilious folk. When the cause is, as
it often is, nervous exhaustion, a good
remedy is cessation of all work, religious
and secular, plenty of sleep, and, If the
constitution can bear it, cold water
bathing. Always an ounce Of prevention
is worth pound of cure, for it is not
an easy task to fight of the blues.

INFANT DEPRAvITY.-A night or two
ago called to a boy to come and black
my boots; as he went to work he passed
the stump of cigar he had in his
mouth to little mite of an urchin, who
didn't seem to be more than six years
old, but who seized the stump eagerly
and began putting away at my side. 1
ventured to him the advice that he was
too young boy to smoke, and that he
should wait few years; to which the
youngster, who came about up to my
knee, answered with the greatest calm
ness between the puffs, "Wsll, yer see,

Spiders We6s.-Leuwenhoek has CON-
puted that one hundred of the single
threads of full grown spider are not
equal to the diameter of the human
beard; and consequently, if the threads

hair. He calculates that 4, ,000, 600 Of
spiders threads, which are much finer
than those of full grown spiders, are
not so large as the single human hair.

HUMOROUS.

WHEN Thomas drove up to house on
Elizabeth street, to deliver the usual
quart of mixture, the gentleman of the
house kindly inquired:
'"Thomss, how many quarts of milk
do you deliver?"
"Ninety-one, SIR"
"And how many cows have you?"
"Nine, SIR"
The gentleman made some remarks
about an early spring, close of the
Eastern war, and the state of the roads,
and then asked:
Say, Thomas, how much milk per
day do your cows averager"
"Seven quarts. SIR"
"Ah-um," said the gentleman, as he
moved off. Thomas looked after him,
scratched his head, and all at once grew
pale, as he pulled out short pencil and
began to figure on the wagon-cover.
"Nine Cows is nine, and i set seven
quarts down under the cows and multi

Driring Piles in Sdnd.-The contractors
who had charge of preparing the sheet
piling which was to protect the hospital
at Breck- sur. Mer, in France, were much
troubled in driving the piles by the
compactness of the wet sand, and finally
made use of tubes which were driven at
the same time with the pile, their lower
ends being few inches below the points
Of the piles; through these tubes water
was forced by small hand engines, and
SO lOosened the sand that the advance
of the pile was easy and rapid. In the
case of pannels Of sheet piling, the
benefit was even more marked. Care
full observations showed that by the
ordinary process 1t took, on an average
lS5 strokes to drive ten inch pile ten
feet, while 800 blows were needed to
drive the panels. The hammer weighed
,320 pounds, and had a fall of six and
one half feet. The average time re-
quired to drive pile and panel was
eight hours and half. After the device
Of loosening the sand by the pressure of
water was adopted II was found that
the average time required to accomplish
this was one hour and nine minutes,
while to drive pile and a pannel more
than fifty blows were never required,
and often the mere weight of the
hammer was enough to sink the pile.
A recent invention provides for stree.
cars an improved rotary cumnlate,
brake, by which the power lost in stop
ping the car is stored and utilized for
starting the same; this is done by fric-
ton wheels worked by contact with the
car wheel when applied by the brake to
the lever, producing the winding up of
one or more springs, the locking of the
same by pawl and ratchet devices on the
shafts of the friction wheels until the
pawls are released by treadle, and the
power stored up in the springs applied
to the wheels for starting the car. The
brake mechanism may be used in either
direction, the friction wheel shafts slid
ing in guide slots of the car frame. As
soon as the car is desired to be started,
the brake lever is held in backward
direction. SO as to press the friction
wheels against the car wheels; but at
the same time treadle, operated by the
foot, lifts one pawl out of the ratchet
this pawl releasing by its pivot joint, the
second pawl, so as to throw the joint
power Of the springs on the friction
wheels, and by the same on the car
wheels, thus assisting materially in
starting the car.

TOILET SoAP.-Drippings, which &C.
cumulate in almost every household,
can be used for the grease. They should
first be boiled in water, and then left to
cool; afterward they should be removed
from the water and boiled alone until
the water is expelled. The whittier the
grease can be made, the better the soap
will be made. The ingredients Of the
soap are six pounds of sal soda, seven
pounds of grease, three pounds of un-
Stacked lime, four gallons of soft water,
and One-half pound of borax. Boil the
soda and lime in the water until they
are dissolved; let the mixture stand
over night to settle; pour off the clear
lye, to which add the grease and pulver-
lied borax, and boil TO the consistency
of honey. Take the mixture from the
stove, stir in one ounce of oil OF sassafras
or lavender, and pour 1t into tub, or
what is still better, a tight, shallow
box, to cool, and when coid cut into
bars and put On boards to dry.
