GAS TAR PAINT FOR WHEELs.-Last
year the spokes of nay wheel-barrow
worked loose, and l tried to tighten
them by wedging; but the wedges
worked out, and the wheels were likely
to come to pieces. had some gas tar
handy, and filled the joints with it, and
also dipped the wedges into the tar.
All was tight and staid tight. l next
painted my wagon hubs with 1t, both
the two-horse and one-horse, filling
cracks and joints thoroughly. This
kept the spOkes tight through the re-
mainder of the season. Last year about
the first of August one of my tires came
off on the big wagon, and 1 broke two
felloes. To repair that wheel cost me
81 10, As soon as l got that wheel
home from the shop. L painted every
wheel of three wagons and the old buggy
with gas tar-huDs, spokes and felloes.
They soon dried and the paint was as
hard as jalap, and shone like black paint
with varnish. No more loose tires since.

Work requiring close application favors
the development of myOphia, or near
sightedness, precisely in proportion as
the conditions of illumination are bad,
and, ii the action of those causes con-
tinues, the myopia must increase until
vision is lost. If the eyes are fatigued
by bad artificial illumination, blue or
slightly smoked or smoke-colored glass
es are useful, and, in order to avoid the
lateral rays, they should be large and
round. In case of persistent irrl-
tation, all work should be abandoned,
and an examination made to see if there
be any distur bance of refraction, etc.

SAILING AND SMOKING BAcoN.-There
arc many different ways OF picking and
preserving meat, but the following will
be found good one: For every hun
dred pounds of meat use eight pounds
of salt, three ounces saltpetre, three
ounces saleratus, one quart of molasses,
and two pounds of sugar, and water
sufficient to cover the meat. Put all
together, scald and skim OFF whatever
impurities rise to the surface. Pack
the meat tight in a barrel and pour on
the pickle when it is cold. For beef it
should be put on hot. Leave the meat
in the brine for six or eigh: weeks then
take out and smoke with green hickory
or maple wood If either can be obtained.
If the smokehouse is tight and cool, tine
meat may be left hanging In it all sum-
mer, or until used, but II there is dam
ger OF insects getting at the meat, wrap
each piece In good thick brown paper,
and rub the outside with salt and lime
OF the consistency OF thin paint.

The Aicrophone as a Thief Catcher
The microphone as thief catcher has
proved very useful to an English resi-
dent in India, who found his store of
oil rapidly and mysteriously diminish
ing. He fixed a microphone to the oil
cans, carried the wire up to his bed
room, and, after the house had been
closed for the night, sat up to await the
result. Very shortly he heard the clink-
ing of bottles, followed by the gurgling
sound of liquid being poured out, and
running downstairs he caught his bear
er in the act of filling small bottles
with oil for easy conveyance from the
premises.

A YOUNG Englishwoman In one OF
the manufacturing shires, is in the
habit of reading Shakespeare's plays to
girls from the neighboring factories,
and sometimes stops in the middle Of a
scene and asks one of the girls whether
she is sure she comprehends it. Not
long ago she was reading from the
opening scenes of "Hamlet," and had
come to the passage in which the
Queen implores her son to cast OF his
nightly color, and not keep always
mourning for his father. ''Are you
sure," she lsked OF one of the girls,
"that you quite understand this?'
"Eh, yes, miss" said the worthy girl,
"his mother thinks he ought to begin
to go out to tea, and such like"

Bows and Pist0ls.-"I never could un-
derstand," the deacon said, "why a boy
should carry pistol. A pistol Is very
peculiar fire-arm; 1t is made for very
peculiar purpose. 1t is quite natural
for some boys to want rifles or shot
guns, with which they may kill game /;
put pistol Is intended to kill human
beings, and this is about all it is good
for. There are very few boys in this
country who could shoot bird or a
rabbit with pistol, and any one who
should go out hunting with pistol
would be laughed at. This being the
case, why should boy want pistol
What human beings would he like to
kill. 1t is useless TO say that he may
need his pistol for purposes of defense.
Not one boy in a thousand is ever plac-
ed in such position that he need to de-
fend himself with pistol. But it often
has happened that boys who carried
loaded pistols thought that it would be
q manly thing, under certain circum-
stances, to use them, and yet, hen the
| time came, and they killed somebody,
they only brought down misery on
themselves and their families. And this
too, in many cases where, if no one
present had had a pistol, the affair
would have passed off harmlessly, and
been soon forgotten. But the way in
which boys generally take humrn life
with pistols is some accidental way, as
they do not kill highwaymen and rob-
bers, but they kill their schoolmates, or
their brothers, or their sisters, or, in
many cases, themselves. There is no
school where boys are taught to proper
ly handle and carry loaded pistols, so
they usually have to learn these things
by long practice. And while they are
learning it is very likely that some one
will be shot. l saw in a newspaper,
not long ago. accounts of three fatal ac-
cidents, all of which happened on the
same day, from careless use of fi-earms.
And one of these dreadful mishaps was
occasioned by lad who carried load
ed pistol in his overccat pocket, and
who carelessly threw down the coat"

American, claims to have perfected an

their exceeding fineness the silk
strands are liable to break while being
unwound from the cocoons. making
necessary close attention on the part of
The strands of silk from four cocoOns
are usually run out on one reel to form
single thread, and one woman cannot
do more than attend at most to two
reels. 1t has been claimed by many in
terested in the silk trade that no ma
chinery could be m ade delicate enough
TO watch this work automatically. The
attention of the inventor was drawn TO
this subject two years ago, and he has
lately perfected his application of the
electric current to this work. By run
ming the strands over carefully balanc-
ed wires, when one breaks the wire
drops into n mercury and closes circuit
which acts on an electric stop in the
reel. The work is thus stayed until the
strand is spliced and the current brok-
en-. In this way the electricity watches
the strands, and the attendant has only
TO notice the reels and start them when
they stop. In the old way not more
than six pounds of silk could be wound
in a week; by this Invention it is claim
ed that fourty pounds will be wound in
the same time. The promoters Of this
invention hone by it 10 increase greatly

where-and exported for reeling, and
then much of the raw silk is imported
for manufacturing. A large amount
will be saved if the cocoohs can be
cheaply wound of here. In the South,
where the mulberry is common, it is
believed that the culture of silk may
rival that of cotton.
