Things Worth Knowing.

That fish may be scaled much easier by
first dipping into boiling water about
minute. That salt fish are quickest and
best freshened by soaking in sour milk.
That milk which has turned or changed
may be sweetened or rendered fit for use
again by stirring in little soda. That
salt will curdle new milk hence in prepar-
ing milk porridge, GRAVES, etc., the salt
should not be added till the dish is pre-
pared. That clear boiling water will re-
move tea stains and many fruit stains; pour
the water through the stain, and thus pre-
vent its spreading over the fabric. That
tablespoonful of turpentine boiled with
your white clothes will greatly aid the
whitening process. That boiling starch is
much improved by the addition ofspermaceti,
or salt, or both, or a little gum arabic dis
solved. That blue ointment and kerosene
mixed in equal proportion and applied to
bedsteads is an unfailing bug remedy, and
that a coat of whitewash is ditto for the
walls of log house. That kerosene will
soften boots or shoes that have been hard
ened by water, and will render them pliable
as new. That kerosene will make your tea
kettle as bright as new; saturate wooden
rag and rub with it. 1t will also remove
stains from the clear vanished furniture.
That cold rain water and soap will remove
machine grease from washable fabrics.
That beeswax and salt will make your rusty
hat-irons as clean and smooth as glass. Tie
a lump of wax in rag and keep it for the
purpose. When the irons are hot rub them
first with the waxed rag, then scour with
paper or cloth sprinkled with salt.-Er.

A "NatiOnaI Agricultural Society,""

There is an attempt being made to estab-
fish a society under the above title, and cir
culars have been sent out inviting the attend
auce of those desiring to cooperate in New
York at the time of the International Dairy
Show. Land and Home says they have
succeeded in awakening widespread and
lively interest, receiving the Endorsement
and promise to join of governors, senators,
congressman, secretaries of boards of agri-
culture, masters of state oranges, merchants,
lawyers, and long list of prominent agri-
culturists." We have received one-no,
six-of these circulars, but the number and
variety of great men who have already prom
ised to "join" quite overawes us. We
should really like to see genuine national
society of agriculture, if we thought such a
thing possible. But the country is too big
for it; its agricultural interests are too di-
versifed and in some respects antagonistic,
and the real farmers are too poor and in
conspicuous alongside of the personages al
ready enlisted to have any influence or con-
troll in it. Probably society will be started,
but in the hands into which it will immedi-
ately fall it will be likely to hurt rather than
help the great body of the farmers of the
country. And anyway it must be short
lived

Right to the Point.

1t is just as practicable to educate boys for
farmers and gardeners in agricultural schools
as it is to educate them for doctors in med
ical schools, for soldiers at West Point for
ministers at theological schools, or for law
yers at law schools. And agricultural
schools will not antagonize the practical ed
ucaton of the farm, more than those other
schools antagonize the practical education
of the sick room, the battlefield, the
parish, or the courthouse. The better the
schools the better for the scholars, in every
case and in all alike. Aud this is so plain
that no man of clear wit can doubt it,
Some such may dispute it from interested
motives or from mere perversity, but they
know it is so all the time. And further
than this, as the training of the academy
and the college is adapted Tor meant to beg
to lead up to the learned professions, so the
education of the common school and the
high school may be adapted to lead up to
the industrial arts.

A Civil Damage Case.

The story of lady of Jones county, Iowa,
well illustrates that it is not impossible to
remedy by law some part of wife's loss
through her husbands intemperance. The
early years of her marriage were happy and
prosperous. Her husband was possessed of
considerable property, and was successful in
a business from which he realized an in
come of fifteen hundred dollars year. But
habits of intemperance fastened themselves
upon him. He does not appear to have been
a gross drinker of spirits; wine and beer
were his principal enemies, but these, ex-
cessively as he used them, impaired his
powers, untitled him for labor, and rendered
him a confirmed drunkard. There were in
the town no less than eight saloons, which
he frequented in turn, and upon which, af
ter his earnings dwindled TO nothing, he was
squaudering his capital. The wife visited
the saloon keepers and urged them to cease
supplying her husband with liquor. Some
of them assented; but the husband on learn
ing why il was refused to him, declared to
her that if the prohibition were not re-
moved he would abandon her and carry
away their children. Under this compul-
sion she went with him to the saloons, and
reluctantly gave some consent that liquor
might be sold to him. When she had done
this her prospects must have seemed dark.
But just in time for her relief the law was
passed, declaring that the seller of liquor
shall pay for the harm it does She brought
lawsuits against the eight saloon keepers
for the harm done her in making her hus-
band drunkard, and reducing her from af-
auence to poverty. Most of them paid her
something to stop the suits. One of them
stood out and resisted her claim to the end
The end was that the jury condemned him
to pay ten thousand dollars to reimburse
the money her husband had squaudered
and two thousand more by way of punish
ment. The dealer complained of this as
unjust because he only sold beer and wine
and the wife gave him leave to do so; and
because twelve thousand dollars was toe
much in any case. The judges said that il
was no matter what he sold so that the hus
band was made drunkard by it; that hi
might have known that wife coming witt
her husband to- say he might buy liquor only
came because he compelled her to do so, anC
did not really mean it; and that twelve
thousand was not at all too much, consider
ing the property and income the husband
had lost

Mother" said bright little boy who
was calling to mind the pleasant scenes of
better days" Mother how came we in this
horrible place ? Why did we not continue
to live in the beautiful house which we &C.
cupied at Fountainland, where we were all
happy, and had enough to eat and drink and
wear? Why did we leave that pleasant
country, where / went to school and to the
house of God, where pleasant friends called
to see us at our own house, and seemed to
respect and love us so much ? o mother

about this, and let me go back to the place

tears fell like showers, coursing down over
her careworn face. 90 my child" she re-

The Swindlers OF Wall Street.

The fools all over the country who have
been sending in their money to the brokers
on Wall street in response to their advertis-
ing invitations to "walk into my parlor,"
are now being laughed at as shorn lambs"
Some ten millions of dollars (most of
it owed to creditors or needed by their
families) has thus been gathered into the
hands Of the Wall street sharpers, and the
New York Tribune FOUNDED by Horace
Greeley says cheerfully, Nor has the money
lost by the shorn lambs been destroyed
their savings will reappear in the increased
loans of great capitalists and financial insti
tutions." o for an hour Of honest old
Horace at the helm Would he not score
with stripes of caustic ink the thieves and
their silly dupes alike Let us quote one Of
his sayings to the point, that though dead
he may yet speak. "There are but two
ways to get money! one is to earn it, the
other is TO steal it,"

APPLE JELLY is made by simply boiling
down fresh apple juice. 1t is vitality i'm.
portant that no fermentation should take
place, as this not only destroys the favor of
the jelly, but imparts to it an unpleasant
stringiness. The evaporator should there
fore be in close proximity to the press for
the juice. The best manufacturers do not al
low an hour to elapse from the time the juice
is squeezed out, till it is undergoing evapor-
alton, and the whole time from fresh juice
to jelly is within two hours. Nothing
whatever is added the jelly is simply the
boiled juice. One barrel Of juice will give
FIVE gallons of jelly, which sells at seventy.fvt
cents per gallon at wholesale, or dollar by
retail
