HOUSE AND FARM.
moa sehoid Hints.

IFater.-W Water standing for a night in
close or crowded room absorbs the im-f
pure air and becomes very unwhole-
some and positively injurious to health.
Be careful rot to use water which has
STOOD in a pipe.
Washing OK G1oths.-In washing oil
cloths, never use any soap or brush.
1t will destroy in a short time an oil
cloth that should last for years. Use in
stead warm water and soft cloth or
flannel, and wipe off with water and
skim milk.
Hoo to iron Shirts Without -Bzistersng
Wash out the old starch thoroughly,
and dry them. Just before ironing, take
four gills Of cold water, two tablespoon
tnls OF raw starch, one teaspoon of white
sugar, and one teaspoonful of borax; mix
we'll, and dip in the shirt fronts. Rub
it slightly an 4 fold. In fifteen minutes
they will be ready fo7 ironing, Rnb them
with a try cloth first and it you want
them polished, after they are ironed,
wipe with wet cloth, and polish with a
polishing iron on bare board.
It should be borne in mind that every
farmer who will take the trouble to keep
up tasteful appearance about his house,
not only performs a good work for his
own family, but stimulates his neighbors
to initiate him. Nothing is more con-
tagious than the desire for gardening
when once it gets footing Prairie
Farmer.
If it is true that the vitality of an
apple tree is SO impaired one year by
bearing an excessive crop that it fails
the next, il would seem to follow, sup
losing the tree derives from the soil in
which it grows suitable and sufficient
nourishment, that, if in the bearing
year it were deprived Of half Of its
fruit as =oon as it had formed, it would
be in a condition to mature crop the
next year also.
Spots on I1ouezs and Hosiery, will dis
appear with little trouble if little harts-
horn is put into enough water TO soak
the articles, and are left in it an hour
or two before washing; and, if a cuptull
is put into the water into which white
clothes are soaked, the night before
washing, the ease with which the ar
ticles can be washed, and their great
wilderness and cleaness when dried, will
be very gratifying. Remembering the
small sum paid for the three quarts Of
hartshorn Of common strength, one can
easily see t at no bleaching preparation
can be more cheaply obtained.

since she died, all the world has been
against me, and I am lost2 lost to good
society, lost to honor, lost to decency, and
lost f0rever!n 81,
No, not lost forever; for God is merci-
full, and His plying love can reach the
chief Of sinners said the lady, IN her low,
sweet voice; and the timely words swept
the hidden chord of feeling which had
been long untouched in the young mans
heart thrilling II with magic power, and
wakening host Of tender emotions,
which had been buried very deep beneath
the rubbish Of sin and crime.
Years glided by, and the gentle lady
had quite forgotten the incident we have
related, when one day stranger sent up
his card, and desired to speak with her.
Wondering much who it could be-. she
went down to the palor, where she found
noble looking, well dressed man, who
rose deferentially to meet her. Holding
out his hand, he said:
Pardon me, madam, for this intrusion
but | have come many miles to thank you
for the great service you rendered me a
few years ago." said he, in trembling
voice.
The lady was puzzled. and asked for
au explanation, as she did not remember
ever having seen the gentleman before.
/ have changed SO much.'' said the
man, that you have quite forgotten me;
but though only saw your face once, [
am sure I should have recognized it any
where. And your voice, too, it is 50 like
my mothers !"
Those last words made the lady re-
member the poor young man she had
kindly spoken to in front Of the drinking
saloon so long before, and tears came in
to her own eyes. b.
After the first :gush Of emotion had
subsidized, the gentleman sat down and
told the lady how those few words had
been instrumental in saving him, and
making him what he then was. III
"The earnest expression Of No, not lost
forever followed me wherever l went, y
said he, s'and it always seemed that it
was the voice of my mother speaking to
me from the tomb. I repented of my
many transgressions, and resolved to live
as Jesus and nv mother would be pleased
to have me; and by the mercy and grace
of God I have been enabled to resist
temptation, and keep my good resolut-

mania.

3 "a
The Bucharest correspon dent ST the
Edinburgh Scotsman writes (April 19) as
follows: "a sad tragedy has just taken
place here. The sister Of the American
Vice-Consul. a gentleman we'll known
and much respected, has been cruelty
murdered by a young man who fell in
love with her about three years ago. For
various reasons the young lady's family
refused their consent to the match, al
though one marriage had already taken
place in the family. the lady's sister be-
ing married to w. Stladecker, the eldest
brother of the sutton. After some stormy
scenes 1t was resolved that young Stla-
decker should go to Paris, where be had
been staying until the last two weeks.
Returning to Bucharest, he found mar
ried to another the lady whom he loved,
and at once seemed to lose his reason.
Going into the room, few days after his
arrival, where the lady and her sister
were alone, he commenced upbraiding
her, and, scarcely waiting for an answer,
plunged q dagger into her breast The
wound was mortal, and with one Shrek
she fell to the floor, her sister trying to
shield her from the fury Of her assassin,
who, unable to strike again to her heart,
stabbed right and left into limbs and
body, it is said screwing the dagger
round in the wounds heinficted. Then
his object accomplished he rushed off and
tried to commit suicide by cutting his
throat with the dagger, breaking it, how
ever, and falling in the attempt. Help
coming when too late, the poor lady, who
had been but four months married, and
was only twenty years Of age, was laid
upon couch. The murderer was also
secured and taken to a hospital, and
guarded by gendarme. During the
night he made an attemp. to escape,
which was frustrated, but on the 18th he
committed suicide. Saying he was~un-
we'll, he was allowed to leave his cham
Der, followed by the sentinel. On enter
ing a closet he drew the cord of his dress
ing gown of, attached it knotted to a
beam above him, and ended his life by
hanging himself. He made no noise nor
uttered sound, and was discovered
dead when the door was opened. This
has been grievous blow to all the re-
latives, who are Jews. DR.. Stern, the
lady's brother, is well known here, both
as filling the place of Consul for the
United States and by having translated
Shakesperes Hamlet into the Rouman
ian language"

II Thought 1t Was Mothers Voice.

A friend told me not lonS ago beauti-
full story about kind words. A good
lady, living in one Of our large cities, was
passing drinking saloon just as the
keeper was thrusting a young man out
into the street. He was very youg and
very pale, out his haggard face and wild
eyes told that he was very far gone in the
road Of ruin, as with oaths he brandished
his c.enched fists, threatening to be re-
venged upon the man who. so ill-used
him. This poor young man was so ex-
cited and blinded with passion, that he
did not see the lady who stood very near
to him, until she laid her hand upon his
arm, and spoke in her gentle, loving
voice, asking him what was the matter
At the FIRST kind word the Young man
started af if heavy blow had struck him,
and turned quickly round, paler than be-
fore, and trembling from head to foot.
He surveyed the lady for a moment, and
then with sigh Of relief, he said:
Il thought it was my mothers voice,
it sounded so strangely Like it! But her
voice has been hushed in death for MANY
years" RI.
You had a mother then, = said the lady,
s'and she loved you?n
With that sudden revulsion Of telling,
which often comes to people Of fine nerv
Gus temperaments, the young man burst
into tears. sobbing out, ooh yes, had an
angel mother, and she loved her boy! But

In washing delicate, colored muslins
and linens, several essential points must
be observed If we intend preserving their
freshness and beauty. First, they should
never be scaped or soaked. If not too
soiled, wash in almost cold water; make
lather Of good bar soap-white is best
and in it dissolve q small piece of alum.
Use this dissolved soap in the water, and
rub the goods with the hands, as far as
possible. Put through two waters. and
rinse in two more. A handful of salt or
a spoonful Of vinegar in the rincing- water,
helps to brighten and hold the colors.
Wash only one article at time, and that
very quickly. have found that the blue
figures Of prints and calicoes were rem
dered permanent by soaking them for a
short time in strong salt waters pint of
salt to two quarts of water. A piece Of
spermaceti an inch square, and teaspoon
full of salt, added to starch for muslin and
linens, give to them fine, smooth, gloos-
sy appearance, prevent the iron from
sticking.
AS soon as starched, hang in a shaded
place--never in the sun and iron i'm
mediately they are dry enough. A mod
erately hot iron only must be used, many
deilcate pinks, bluffs and green's, will
change color as soon as q hot iron is
placed over them. Brown linen may be
kept looking like new, though repeated
" washed, if always washed in starch
water and hay-tea. For one dress, put
milk-pan OF timothy hay on the stove,
pour over hot water, cover, and boil until
OF deep green. Make two or three
quarts OF flour starch the usual way, and
into it strain the hay-tea. Take about
one-half of this mixture and add water,
only enough to wet the dress in every
part Let soak ten minutes; add little
more warm water, and RIB through with
out soap Rinse through more water
than used in rubbing, with the starch
and tea strained in; squeeze, snap, and
hang in the shade to dry as quickly as
possible. Small flannel garments for
children may be whitned by first dipping
into suds, wringing out, and hanging up
on cords across the top Of barrel, with
two or three tablespoontuls Of iour-of-
sulphur burn burning underneath. It
may be necessary to repeat the process if
very yellow. Care must be taken that
the sulphur does not biaze aud burn the
articles. Hang it in the air for a day or
two; then wash and rinse in bluing- water.
Scarlet flannel may be washed in warm
! suds, to which is added quart Of moder
ately thick four-starch, and then rinse in
warm water. A good method foa wash
ing Woolen shawls is to dissolve pound
OF white soap in little water, and boil
down until like jelly. When cool, add
three tablespoonful eff turpentine, and one
tablespoonful of strong spirits of ammonia.
Wash thoroughly with this lather in
enough water to wet it, and rinse until
all the soap is out. Then put through
salt and water, and hang up where it
etwill dry at once,

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Thomas EOROEd Falls in a PriVy
vault, but IL Rescued by John
Seary Work for the hoard OF
Health.
This morning Mr.. Thomas Kofford, the
w%ell.known builder, whose place of busi.
ness is at No. A Monroe street, pulled
of his coat snd retired to the rear part
of the building, in which is located the
priVy vault. Owing to the recent rains
the flooring or covering of the vault had
been washed away, but this could not be
seen because of the darkness in the
room. Hardly had Mr.. Koford entered
the room when be was ~precepitated into
the Shiny contents of the vault, the depth
OF which is unknown. With wonderful
presence of mind the unfortunate man
reached out his hands and managed to
grasp the walls GA either side. He had
already sunk in the poisonous mire,
which was up to bis chin. but by means
Of his arms managed to keep his mouth
above the surface Of water and defeated
matter. Though surrounded by dark.
ness and buried 10 this mire, Mr.. Kofod,
instead of getting excited, cried for kelp.
which appeal was not too readily re.
sponded to by one of his carpenters
named John Geary, who rushed into the
darkened apartment, Fearing that Mr.,
Geary might also fall in the pit, Koford
said, DO not come near me, | am in
the privy, but gradually approach and
feel for my hands." Mr., Geary then
realized Mr.. KoFord's situation and eau.
tiously approached the brink Of the vault.
He seized Koford BY the hand and 6aally
succeeded in pulling him out Of the vault.
Owing to the water Mr.. Koford was en-
abled to keep himself saoat, though the
dirt Of the sink was fast crumbling under
his grasp, and he would soon have sunk.
bad not som one been present and
rendered aid Mr.. Kofod would have
persisted in a mysterious manner. The
condition of the building on Monroe
street commands the immediate atten.
ton Of the board of health. The filth
back of the buildings on the north side
OF Monroe street should be removed.
The hot season is rapidly approaching,
and this much needed sanitary precau.
ton should not. and we hope will not, be
neglected by the board of health. We
understand that all the buildings in tais
row have similar vaults, and that an i'm.
provement as to their condition and
their character could be made. It be.
hoves the board Of health to investigate
and have %cleansed all places where the
accumulation Of dirt, ofal, etc. may re-
suit in injury to health.
