ONE OF THE OLD MASTERS.

Yesterday we looked upon picture-a scene
from the hand of one of the Oldest and most
accomplished of "the old masters" Like the
works of Raphael and Angelo, his works all
have point of resemblance, or "mannerism,"
in technical language. They are figure pieces
kings, philosophers, poets, peasants, paupers
every phase of human life has occupied the
genius of his pencil. Palaces and novels
alike have formed the background for his
wonderful portrayals. "The dying mother"
leaving as legacy to her loved ones her new
born babe, is one of his most pathetic "pieces."
The name of this artist is Disease. Scarcely q
home in all.this land that has not one of his
pictures hanging In some of its rooms, inyisi-
BILE to the stranger perhaps. but to its in
mates as distinct as if painted but yesterday.
He has dreaded assistant to whom he often
confines the finishing of bis pictures
Death. If you would prevent Disease from
placing one of his fatal "shadow pictures in
your home, you must take the reauisi te pre-
cautions to prevent his entrance. At the first
signs of his approach-general debility, Sleep
iessness or habtual drowsiness, loss of appetite,
impaired appetite. constipation, unusual
pallor, cough, night sweats, headache, or
nausea, measures for relief should be prompt
~ taken. The system should be cleansed and
ssrehgthened by Or. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets,
which are acknowledged to be the best altera-
tive, or blood-cleansing, and cathartic remedies
ever before the public. Besides, they regulate
the whole system and impart to it healthful,
vigorous tone.

Domestic ReceiBts.

STOVE POLIsH.-The simplest compound
for this purpose which we ever heard OF, is
mixture of black ink and white of eggs. 1t is
said to make the very best article of stove
polish.
CLOTHES MoTHs.-A small piece of paper
or linen, moistened with the spirits of turpen-
tine. and put into bureau or wardrobe for a
single day, two or three times, is said TO be a
sufficient preservative against moths.
STRONG CEMENT.-A colorless, transpar-
ent cement, with which 10 mend glass, can
spirits OF wine; add small quantity OF water,
and mix gently over moderate fire.
CEILINGs.-Ceiings that look very rough
and show tendency to peel may be restored
by the application of a solution OF one ounce
of alum TO quart of water. This will remove
the superfuous lime and render the ceiling
white.
To CLEANSE GLASS GLoBEs-Ift the globes
on gas fixture are much stained on the
outside by smoke, soak them in tolerably hot
water in which little washing soda has been
dissolved. Then put ateaspoonful of powder
ec ammonia in pan Of lukewarm water,
and with hard brush scrub the globes until
the smoke stains disappear. Rinse in clean
cold water. They will be as white as if new.
BAKING PowDERs.-Be cautious in adopt
lug lOI Cdu-AdhiuS puIpUscS duy pdGCub
yeast, unless the ingredients are absolutely
known 1t is dangerous oftentimes to use
such articles, and chemicals are put int the
system which by and by will produce chronic
troubles. For our own part we believe that
the old-fashioned domestic mode of "rising"
.he bread is by far the most wholesome.
CORN BREAD.-Here is a seasonable dish.
A nice corn bread, very digestible, can be
made with snow. Take about quart of
meal. into which stir well half teaspoonful
of soda, and tablespoonful of good sweet
lard, adding teaspoonful of salt. Stir in a
quart of light clean snow, doing it in a cool
place where the snow will not melt. Bake it
chH-,t te..y minutes, in quick oven. The
CAKE snoulo be broken, not cut.
KEROSENE oH.-Ruy the best oil. The
lower priced varieties are .-rt 70 hn ,,,o-. -oia-
tile and explosive. Have your glass lamps
securely hung. Select those in which the
end of the burner is elevated considerably
above the body of the lamp. Lamps to be
carried should be of metal, have handles, and
be of ONE safety" pattern. Fill the lamp by
daylighr, and never while lighted. If obliged
to fill them at night, have the light at least a
yard off and not in current of air. Lamps
should be filled daily and never lighted while
partly empty. Never carry glass lamp light
ed. A lamp with wick turned far down is
more liable to explode. Keep the can closed
and in asafe place. Never pour oil on the
fire. Ifburning oil gets on the floor, smother
with woollen blanket, rug, carpet or clothing.
If the clothing takes fire wrap blanket or
rug about the person, or roll upon the floor.

Cement for Pruning.

DR.. 7. ii. Hoskins, of Vermont, who has
much experience in orchard management,
finds the following composition for cement
10 encase wounds made by pruning, the best
he is acquainted with: one quart fine North
Carolina or pine tar is to be boiled slowly for
three or four hours. Add to the boiling tar
four ounces of tallow and one pound of bees
wax, and stir all till well mixed. Remove
the vessel from the fire and stir the contents
till partly cooled. AS soon as the cement
begins to thichen, stir in a pound of pow
dered and sifted clay, previously prepared.
Stir till nearly cold, to prevent the clay
settling. In summer this cement is just soft
enough to be easily spread with the point of
knife. 1t excludes moisture and does not
harden or crack. The boiling OF the tar is
necessary to drive out the turpentine.

She was beauty in the DAYS
When Madison was President;
And quite coquettish 10 her ways
On cardiac conquests much intent
Grandpa, on his right knee bent,
Wooed her in stiff, old.fashioned phrase
She was beauty 10 the days
When Madison was President.
And when your roses where hers went
Shall go, my Lii, who date from Hayes,

OF whom tradition lightly says:
She was a beauty in the days
