USEFUL INFORMATION.


The quickest way to expel foul air
from well is to heat bar of iron red
hot, and lower it down into the water;
the sudden formation of steam is eff
fectual.
BLACK POLISH ON IRON AND STEEL
To obtain that beautiful deep black
polish on iron or steel which is SO much
sought after, it is required to boil one
part of sulphur in ten parts of oil of
turpentine, the product of which is a
brown sulphuric oil of disagreeable
smell. This should be put on the out
side as lightly as possible, and heated
over spirit lamp till the required black
polish is obtained.
BEAUTIFUL BLACK Color FOR
BRoNzE.-A strong concentrated thin
solution of nitrate of silver is required
for this purpose. It should be mixed
with an equal solution, of nitrate of
copper, and well shaken together. The
pieces which require colorihg are
dipped into this solution and left for a
short time. When taken out they
should be equally heated till the re-
quired black color makes it's appear
ance.
AS FOOD, eggs are exceedingly nutri-
tious. They are easy of digestion, and,
when the shell is included, they may be
said to contain in themselves all that is
required for the construction of the
body. It has been claimed for them
that they may be served in about 600
ways, although it is generally found
that the more simply they are prepared
the more they are approved. Although
other eggs than those of birds are eaten
for instance, turtles eggs-it is gen
orally conceded that the eggs of the
common fowl and of the plover possess
the richest and sweetest favor. An
ordinary hens egg weighs from one
and half to two and half ounces
avoirdupois, and che quantity of dry
solid mttter contained in it amounts to
about 200 grains. In 100 parts, about
ten parts consist of shell, sixty of white
and thirty of yelk. The white of the
egg contains larger proportion of wa
ter than the yelk. It contains no fatty
matter, but consists chiefly of albumen
in dissolved state. All the fatty mat
ter of the egg is accumulated in the
yelk, which contains relatively a
smaller proportion of heterogeneous mat
ter, and larger proportion of solid
matter, than the white. It is said that
raw eggs are more easily digested than
the cooked ones. A hard-boiled egg
presents decided resistance to gastric

Birds of Paradise.

The birds of paradise unite all the
modes of ornamentation in the highest
degree, with the most harmonious re-
suits. They join the graceful plumes
of the ostrich to the dainty coloring of
the sun bird. Crests almost as largely
developed as that of the umbrella bird
overshadow their beautiful heads; frills
as full as those of the humming birds
fall down in metallic splendor before
their gorgeous necks And It any proofs
be wanting of the connection between
the nature of the food and the beauti-
full plumage, it may be found in the fact
that these royally-attired creatures are
first cousins of our own dingy crows
and jackdaws; but, while the crow seeks
his livelihood among the insects and

A SagaciOus Mule.

A few days ago mule trotted up in
a limping way to blacksmith shop and
deliberately walked into the shop. He
seemed to be very uneasy and restless,
exhibiting unmistakable signs of pain.
The men in the shop were rather taken
aback by the mule who thus came to the
shop unbridled and loose. At last the
mule lifted up one of his legs, and, with
a gesture of his head, directed the at
tention of one of the men to his foot.
1t was then discovered that a nail had
worked it's way into the flesh, evidently
causing the apparent pain. The nail
was then drawn out, and his muleship,
much relieved, gave snort Of thanks.
A few moments after he trotted of,
much pleased, and has not been seen
since Columbus (Ga-) Times.
