ton of potash and then in one Of tar
taric acid. This produces a perfect
diffusion of crystals of bitartrate of
potash through the texture of the i'm
printed part Of the paper. AS this salt
resists oil, the ink roller may now be
passed over the surface, without trans

CRACKED HANDs.-With some people
cracking of the hands in the winter
season is a usual occurrence; many are
seriously troubled in this way. If those
so afflicted will, after washing, wipe
the hand perfectly dry, and after using
soap, rub their hands with vinegar,
then after wiping, with a little sweet
oil, they will find themselves less trou-
bled in the future. The immoderate
use of salt at the table, it is said, predis-
poses the skin to become dry and crack.

the sound waves into a very appreciable
likeness to those of light. Lenses have
been constructed, formed of cOllodion
or gold-beaters' skin, and inclosing car
bonic antrydride. They are described
as ''double. convex" lenses. In the
focus of such a lens the ticking of a
watch, at a certain distance, can be

To Cook BEEFsTEAK.-Slit the outside
or fat part, say every four inches, cut
ting through to the lean, which pre-
vents contraction and increases Its
tenderness. Have a bright fire and
gridiron hot before putting it on; turn
it owe to prevent burning. A steak an
inch and a half thick will be cooked in
from wen to ten minutes. 10 fry,
prepare in the same way; put a little
butter on pan or griddle, and let it get
brown before putting on the meat, cook
quickly, and, whether broiled, fried,
roasted or baked in the oven, if you
want juicy, tender beef never salt it be-
fore it is cooked. Beefsteak should be
served the minute it is cooked; other
wise it loses its flavor.

FRUIT IN TRxAs.-A correspondent of
the Chicago Tribute writes from Sher-
man, Texas, as follows concerning fruit
raising In that section; "All kinds of
fruit grown here bring large prices,
owing TO the supply being 70 far below
the demand, and the growing of fruits
near any of our lar towns is, and for
many years to come will be, remunera-
tive. One man at Dallas, Mr.. Jesse w.
Bell, has a farm of twenty-five acres,
only a portion of which is yet in
bearing. The last season he sold
from five acres of grapes in full
bearing $4,000 pounds, which netted
him Sd cents per pound, or $2,257 for
the five acres. He also had nine hun
dred young apple trees In partial bear
ing, which realized 81 per tree, and one
hundred peach trees which netted $4.5 0
per tree. AS the country is rapidly
settling up and has all to be supplied
with fruit, the nursery business offers
good openings for persons with a taste
for and a practical knowledge of it."

A PLACE FOR STUDIoUs BoYs.-The
great trouble with farmers sons is,
that when one shows more than ordi-
nary ability, especially If he is fond of
study, 1t is at once determined that he
has TOO much talent for a farmer, and
he is either put to a trade or educated
for one of the learned professions,
already o~vercrowded. Or if a boy is
energetic and ambitious, he Is not salts
fled to live as his father and grandfather
have lived for the last half century,
each year a copy of the last except the
occurrence now and then of a poorer
crop than usHal-hard work, small
pay, little improvement. But no
boy or man, no matter what his talents
or education may be, need leave the
farm in order TO find abundant opportu-
nifty for the use of both. Few kinds of
business require so much study, and so
much thought as farming, and few
kinds of business will pay so well for
the study and thought bestowed on it.
Farming well done pays. 1t is poor

Petroleum for RemOUing Scale in Boilers.
Petroleum has recently been success
fully employed for the removal and
prevention of scale In steam boilers,
also for the removal of deposits from
water pipes where the water contains
large quantities of lime. 1t has the
effect of penetrating and rotting the
scale, causing it to become porous and
disengage itself from the surface to
which il is attached. 1t is a very simple
remedy and can be used in small guam
titles without any difficulty whatever,
say about a quart every week for a
twenty-five horse power boiler, and in
quantities more or less, according to the
size of the boilers. 1t may be intro
duced In the feed water or through the
safety valve, or in any way most con-
yenient for that purpose; but to be
effective 1t must be pure. The heavy
oil used for lubricating purposes in
cold situations is the most efficient, as
the refined oil of this description is of
no use, as it is Don expelled by the
heat.-OH, Paint and Drug Reporter.

DOMESTIC

KALsOMINING A WALL.-In case the
wall Of a large room-say sixteen by
twenty feet square-is TO be kalsomlned
with two coats, 1t will require about
one-fourth of a pound Of light-colored
glue and five or six pounds OF Paris
white. Soak the glue v e night In a
tin vessel, containing about a quart OF
warm water. IL the kalsomine is to be
applied the next day, add a pint more
Of clean water to the glue, and set the
tin vessel containing the glue into a
kettle OF boiling water over the fire, and
continue to stir the glue until IL Is well
dissolved and quite thin. IL the glue
pail be placed In a kettle of boiling
water the glue will not be scorched.
Then, after putting the Paris white into
a large water pail, pour on hot water,
and stir until the liquid appears like
thick milk. Now mingle the liquid
glue with the whiting, stir 1t thor
oughly, and apply 1t to the wall with a
whitewash brush or a paint brush. In
case the liquid is so thick that 1t will
not flow from the brush so as to make
smooth work, add a little more hot
water. When applying the kalsomine,
stir 1t frequently. Dip the brush often,
and only so deep into the liquid as to
take as much as the hair will retain
without letting large drops fall IN the
floor. IL too much glue be added, the
kalsomine cannot be laid on smoothly,
and will be liable to crack. The aim
should be to apply a thin layer of sizing
that cannot be brushed of with a broom
or dry cloth. A thin o a will not crack.
TREATMENT OF BRUIsEs.-From times
unknown bruises have been treated by
cold water. Mothers in our early life
used to apply 1t to any bruise or con
fusion, especially to bruises upon the
forehead. Notwithstanding this illus
trious example, we prefer the applica-
ton of very warm water. Let us see
how the two operate: Cold applied to
the surface has a tendency TO check the
flow of blood. Heat, under the same
circumstances, augments 1t. Thus APP
plying cold water to a bruise or contu-
sion stops, more or less, the blood in its
course through the injured part. The
spot Is 'black and blue" Applying
hot water compels the moving fluid to
hasten its course and be far away from
the scene of turmoil. So the blood
hastens on its way and leaves very few
marks Of its presence. Ordinarily,
bruises and Commissions rupture some
capillary blood tubes, and allow the
blood to ooze out. The thing to be done
is to compel the blood to flow on its
wOnted way. The application of very
warm water Is the best treatm ent for
Commissions and bruises.

AGRICULTURAL

WEIGHT OR MKAsUREf-In our school.
boy days we remember fluctuations
IN trying to commit TO memory the Ia
bles in compound numbers. Dry mea
sure especially was very dry, aud we
got mixed always when we got as far as
quarts, whether the next move was by
the way Of pecks, and 80 on to the Win
chester bushel, or to take the finger
post which directed us to gallons, with
n further dilemma as to the size OF a
barrel. With grain the name only Is
retained, the heart is out of Ii.
The standard Is no longer so many
cubic inches TO the bushel; whatever
the bulk, II must weigh so many pounds.
The farmer would lot shake down his
measure, and in ''striking'' of the top
would gOuge out the middle, and so the
legislator steps In and says that wheat
shall weigh sixty pounds, oats thirty
two pounds, etc. What Is a good rule
for the measurement of grain cannot be
a bad one when applied TO other arti.
cles as easily handled. IL can be APP
piled to vegetables and fruits as we'll
Potatoes have already come under the
rule In some States, and among the
small fruits currants and cherries are
oftener than not sold by the pound.
The abuses that have grown up under
the old system Of measurement have
been c~rystalliZed into a system, and the
commission merchant even looks to
them as a legitimate source of profit.
He buys by one measure and sells by
another. Apples which he buys in
barrels containing from two and a half
to three bushels he empties into barrels
that hold but two. His customer, the
grocer, retails them in the cunningly
contriyed half and quarter peck mea-
sure, which permit a heaping up while
not over half the space is occupied, and
thus the producer and consumer pay a
heavy tribute to the middlemen, which
a system Of weights instead Of measures
restore. to them. The annually de-
creasing size of peach baskets has long
been noted, until 1t has become an un-
solved conundrum as to where they
will eventually bring up. Perhaps the
most absurd of all customs is selling
eggs by the dozen. The eggs of the
Hamburg breeds, for instance, will
weigh no more than half as much as
those of the Black Spanish or some Of
the Asiatlc breeds; yet a dozen eggs in
the market is a dozen eggs, and bring
no more in one case than In the other.
The old method of selling chickens and
ducks by the pair does not nov exist
TO any great extent in any Northern
market, except in the case of game, and
the time will probably come when the
avoirdupois test will be applied to all
articles of country produce.

SCIENTIFIC.

IL appears TO be difficult 10 arrive at
the cost Of using the electric light,
figures OF estimate in different expert
ments verying considerably. In many
manufacturing establishments the cost
Of the power to drive a magneto-electrie
machine would scarcely be felt, as only
two or three horsepower at the most
would be required. The cost Of the
carbOns said TO be less than five cents
per hour, per lamp, on the Jablockkoff
plan another estimate Is about twice as
much, but perhaps refers TO two lamps
instead Of one. An electric light which
does not, according to the accounts,
appear to be constructed on the Jab
lochkOff plan, tested in practical service
at La Chapelle, France, costs, including
motive power for the machine, about
twelve cents per lamp, per hour. Ma-
chimes capable of running three lamps
cost less than $500, and perhaps that
sun could be made TO cover all the first
outlay. The wear aud tear of the ma
chine is not estimated. A careful study
of the figures thus far furnished, leads
to the belief that light can be furnished
by electricity in France at about two
fifths the cost Of gas; and as the price
of gas in most American cities exceeds
the price In Europe, IL seems probable
that a similar estimate of the compare
tive cost of electric illumination for this
country would fairly apply.

Reiurn Of Mnior Jomes.

Maj or Jones, OF the frontier battalion
arrived in the city at halt-past ten
o'clock last night, from Tyler. Moth
ing new In the Pipes and Herndon
case had developed up to the time he
left the United States court ut that
place. What evidence was elected
from Scott and Collins has not yet
been made known, but 30 far, no in
dictment against Pipes and Herndon
has been found. VIM. Scott was taken
before the grand jury yesterday, after
which he was released from the at
tachment, and returned to the city
with Major Jones. 1t Is supposed Billy
Collins will be taken before the grand
to-day or tomorrow, after which he
will be released from the attachment
under which he was carried there, and
will return home Tomorrow or next
day. OF course, nothing Is known as
to the testimony of Mr. Scott, but 1t is
supposed that he knows nothing, as 1t
is well-known that he was in Dallas on
the night VI the Mesquite robbery, and
and was summoned by the deputy
sheriff to go in search of the robbers
as soon as the news reached the city.
