Easy Washing.

A lady correspondent wishes to know
:" if all the washing compounds advertised
in the papers are humbugs ?" Not having
tried them all, we cannot fully answer this
comprehensive inquiry. We know, however,
of one of these washing compounds that
has given good satisfaction in our family
for nearly year. We saw it highly recon-
mended by correspondents of the domestic
department in the Country Gentleman, and
sent for trial bottle, which proving salts
factory, we last spring, when in New York,
bought case of dozen quart bottles. One
bottle will do from three to five washings,
according to quantity of clothes. The cost
is three dollars a dozen. This compound
makes the washing very easy, leaves the
clothes white, and does not injure the text
ure of the most delicate fabric. Being
something of chemist, we soon satisfied
ourself as to its composition, and might
make it for ourself but the cheap rate al
which it is sold renders it no object. In an
average family dozen bottles will last q
year, so that an expense of six cents a weeb
is all that is incurred This compound il
excellent also for cleaning paint 1t ha'
proved so good thing that we do not hest
tate in naming it at the request of our cor
respondent. 1t is +" Hurd's Magical Mix
ture," sold by the Hurd Chemical Co., las
Reade street, New York.

Sweet Apples as Food.

There are very few people who seem to
know what healthful, nourishing, appetiz-
ing and satisfying use can be made of this
fruit. Baked and served with cream, they
make light and most delicious dessert.
Sliced and used in buildings of various sorts,
they save other sweetening and give CRATE
full element of freshness to the dish. And
this suggests that one reason why baked APP
Piles of any kind fall into disfavor in many
families is because they are not fresh. A
tinful or two is baked up "to save time,"
and they come upon the table more and
more dead and dilapidated, shrunken and
slippery; until the very sight of them discour-
ages and sickens the family. A baked apple
over one day old is past its prime and an
apple, like an egg, that has "seen better
days." we don't want to exercise our charity
on But it is in putting the finishing touch
on bowl of bread and milk that baked
sweet apples find their highest mission.
Given milk that is pure and fresh; bread
that is both foreordaiued and perfected in
grace for such use, which means home
made, milk-rising bread, little stale, but
light, moist and sweet; and plate of ap-
Piles Just done through, and only long enough
out of the oven to have lost their heat with
out getting really cold-and you have a
lunch fit for king too good, indeed, for
most of the men who are in "the king bust
ness" This dish has the three elements of
nutriment found in bread, milk and fruit
and if there is anything better than this
combination the fact hasn't leaked out,
either through science or experience. One
meal day of bread and sweet apples, for
children and people of sedentary habits,
would be better than the food which costs
much more in time and money, that many
of them now indulge in. A pinch of salt or
spoonful of lime water will prevent the
unpleasant effect which milk has on some
stomachs. No keen appetite is required to
give relish to such lunch, and no digestion
that is good for anything has any troubl
with it after it is acknowledging.

But If il is a school of applied science, or II
applied science is made use Of in illustra-
| ton of theoretical teaching, then we would
have right to expect some practical skill
from its pupils. The abstract chemical
facts that the fermentation of moist organic
matter produces carbonic acid gas which
| fills and distends its mass, and that the
same gas is produced when carbonated
akali is treated with an acid or an acid salt
in solution, might be taught to class OF
girls every day for four years without sug-
gestug thought Of bread. Yet these facts
| lie at the very foundation Of practical bread
making, and might be taught in such way
as to simplify the art to the pupil, and lay
the basis of future skill therein. knowl-
edge of theoretic chemistry is not essential
to good bread-making. BY the "rule OF
thumb very good (and much poor bread
is made. But join the science to the prac-
tice and we not only secure that the bread
shall be generally good, but we make the
manufacture of bread an intellectual as well
as mechanical process, and thus we ele-
vate it, and those who practice it. The stu
dent is also furnished by chemistry with
principles which admit Of wide and varied
application not only to bread-making, but
to many other things in common life. With
out these applications mere abstract science
is of little value, and is soon forgotten.
And therefore it is we ask that our schools
which profess to teach science shall teach it
in its practical applications-chemistry in
its application to bread-making, dyeing,
cheese-making, manuring, etc. etc.-mathe-
mates in its application to accounts. to men,
suration, etc., and so on through the whole
round of sciences taught, or to be taught.
in our schools. Those who oppose this try
to throw ridicule upon it by saying that we
cannot have our schools transformed into
kitchens or fertilizer factories Well no.
body has any wish that they should be.
But we do not see why, in the place of burn
ing hydrogen in the philosophers CANDLE"
or exploding oxygen and hydrogen in the
philosophers pistol" we may not have
small batch of bread made to show the pro-
cess of fermentation, or why the teacher can
not apply the fire test to kerosene so as to
show how dangerous article may be de-
tected. And there is no reason, either, why
sulphuric acid may not be shown in its re-
action upon bone-dust to make soluble
phosphate, as well as upon copper to make
the "beautiful blue" of the apothecary's
'how-window bottle. Some people have a
ierrible fear that in applying knowledge to
practice in the schools we shall nullify study
As mental discipline" But the fact is
Just the other way. Show the usefulness of
its results, and you quadruple its value as
'timulant to the mind. The greatest him
trance to the prosperity of our schools is
hat the people cannot see the use Of much
that is taught there. Consequently they
lose all interest in them.

One mellow smile through the soft vapory air,
Ere DER the frozen earth the loud winds run.

And the dark rocks where summer wreaths are cast,
And the blue gentan flower that in the breeze
Mods lonely, Of the beauteous race the last
Yet a few sunny days In which the bee
Shall murmur by the hedge that skirts the way
The cricket chirp upon the russell lea,
And men delight to finger In thy ray.
Yet one rich smile. and we will try to bare
