GROUND TEA.-A French chemist

poured upon it, it will yield nearly
double the amount of its exhilaratine
qualities.
To REMOVE putty from glass dip a
small brush in nitric or muriatic acid
and with it paint over the dry putty
that adheres to the broken glass and
frames of the windows. After an
hours interval the putty will have be

RAT EXTERMINAToR The German
method of exterminating rats is to
feed them with cakes made Of two parts
squills and three parts chopped bacon.
and meal enough to make a stiff mass.
The rats go away, as any animal of
taste naturally would if provided with
such meal
A CURE FOR CANCER-A man who
was cured of cancer says: Having
heard that several persons had been
cured by drinking wild tea and poul-
ticing with the tea grounds, I began
using wild tea in earnest. [ drank
nothing else at my meals, and in four
weeks my hand was as well as ever.
IT is said by a farmer who has tried
the experiment so often as to be sure
of his ground, that butter milk poured
over the back of a scurvy pig will en-
tirelv and speedily remove the scurf
The remedy is simple. Almost every
farmer can boast of one or more
scurvy pigs, and if buttermilk will
cure it, it should not be spared.
SALT FOR BEDBUGs. get rid of
bedbugs wash the room and the furri-
ture Of the room they frequent with
salt water, filling the cracks with salt,
and you may look IN vain for them.
Salt seems inimical to bedbugs. and
they will not trail through it. Some
think it preferable to all ointments.
and the buyer requires no certificate
as to its genuineness.
To REMOVE WARTs-HaI,s .J0,,,.-
nal Of Health says that to dip a stick
the size of a knitting needle into mu
rlatlc acid and touch the top of the
wart night and morning with what ad-
heres to the stick will effect a painless
cure. Buy a small quantity in a glass
stoppered bottle, keep out of the way
OF the children, offyour cloths and skin,
and you are safe in using it.
How TO CURE SORE THRoAT.-
One who has tried it communicates
the following about curing sore throals:
Let each one of our readers buv at anv

gargie the throat thoroughly, then rub

\ DRILL WHICH BoREs SQUARE
HoLEs.-One of the novelties of tie
Paris Exposition is drill wlls-
bores square holes. the invention Of
Mr.. Julius Hall of London Tie
work Is done too. SAYS a correspondent
of the Scientific Ne,rs. in way SO
simple and so easy that any one may
prove the fact for himself The in-
Nentlon has excited genuine astonIsl-
ment among the mechanics gathered
at the Exposition. There Is q constant
crowd surrounding the inventor
watching him bore hole after hole
square, and puzzling ovel the provok-
lngly simple solution of the problem.
All that Is required is an ordinary
hand dfill stock. A stationary one
with a chuck below for holding Tie
work, Is used by the inventor, but, De
says, common brace will answer
anything, in fact, that viii properly
hold the drill" The tool itself Is tue
usual form OF three square drill-so
that no special apparatus is required
CIump or chuck this drill in its holder
so that cit viii wobble :" that Is i-e
whole secret. Instead of making lAe
hole round, as it will if tightly grasp
ed, when loosely held it produces
square one; and, according to the
inventor, it is immaterial whether tle
drill wobbles in the work or the WoIA
under the drill.

HALF SWEET AND HALF Sour AP
PLEs.-We must give it up. We have
never before been quite ready to be-
lieve the stories about aDnIes half
sweet and half sour growing on the

did a few days since, a basket of an

lin, Mass, which carry the evidence
In such an uImIstakabIe manner. we
must give 1T up. We have heard of
many such trees and such apples, and
have examined such trees and frpit
but only to find that the half sweet and
half sour specimens were all gone. or
the apples were wholly sweet or wholly
sour on the same branches that wear
The apples sent in by Mr.. Morse an
pear to be Rhode Island GreeninGs
Part Of them are decidedly acid. like
GreenIngs, and others are as sweet as
our sweetest baking apples, while still
others carry the acid and sweet i'm the
same specimens, one side being sprioht-
ly sour and the other enthusiastically
sweet. Queer fruit to cook, saws Mrs
Morse. who like other intelligent bouse
Keepers, knows that sweet apples don't
make good pies, and that sour apples
cook in half the time needed for sweet
ones. Every apple needs tasting in
order to know into which pan to put
1t FOR cooking. What first sent this
fruit off on such a queer freak is a
mystery not yet solved. We have
picked Baldwins and Russets from the
same twigs; have seen apples half red
and half yellow, with the lines as
marked as though made with a paint
brush; have grown Porters shaped ex-
actly like Bartlett pear; have seen
apples without seeds or core, but never
before saw perfect marriage of sweet
ana sour In the same apple, each flavor
holding Its own distinct individuality.
we must give it up.-N E. Farmer.

TARIFF.-aFernando Woods Tariff
Bill" as the %pap-eating statesmen de.
nominate the bill now before Congress,
10 reduce the excessive tariff rates, an
noys them very much. What a pity
it is that after experimenting for over
a hundred years that some few Of our
industries must be fed out of the gen.
oral Treasury at the expense of the
many. Why not try some some self
supporting business, instead of relying
on the odious tariff system FOX q living.
When men grow up TO the age OF
twenty-onc, they dispense with pap
aud live on cooked food, and make
themselves independent Of their par.
cnts. The same principle holds good
in business, except with tho few tariff
advocates, who have been fed out on
the United States Treasury ever since
we we're an organized government
and they seem to DO rs helpless and
greedy now as they were in the be
ginning.
