To DYE STRAW MAGENTA RED. The
first operation for dyeing this or any
other color on straw is TO steep the lat
ter In bath acidulated with sulphuric
acid for u hours. For magenta, take
an acid bath of 4 to Be. The straw
after washing Is immersed for Il hours
In bath kept at 80 to 40 c., containing
the necessary amount of dye. Now
wash well and dry. Other aniline
colOrs do not dye straw with the same
facility. Maroon, with Lo9wood. Cles n
the straw by boiling with a solution OF
carbonate of soda, then steep In bath
of logwood for two hours. To give Il
blush tint, add some blue stone TO the
bath if too much of the latter Is used
the straw will have greenish hue.
This is loose color, only employed on
account of its cheapness. Coffee and
Chocolate Stains. Ii the coffee or choco-
late contains milk the stains produced
are more pronounced than il prepared
with water only, but they are also MOI e
easily removed. To remove them, the
stains are washed'with a mixture OF
yolk of egg in tepid water. If with
this treatment they still remain, add a
little spirit TO the mixture, and rub
with hard brush. Blue Innings for
Hats. In producing these the cloth is
not dyed, but the thickened color is ap-
piled 10 1t in the following manner:

Progress OF Invention.

A western dealer has invented de-
vice to prevent market men palning off
old eggs for fresh ones. The invention Is
thus desert bed: He proposes to ar
range rubber stamp in the nest of
every hen, with a movable date. This
STAN p is arranged with pad which is
saturated with indelib lie ink. When the
hen lays an egg, as is well known she
kicks alightly with her hind leg, Ad
electric disk is arranged SO that her
foot touches it, when the stamp turns
over on to the ink pad, and then re-
volved, stamping the date on the egg.
The hen then goes off about her busi-
ness, the farmers hired girl removes
the egg, replaces the stamp, which is
ready for another. On each evening,
after the hens have retired to their
downy roost, with the rooster, the date
of the stamp Is changed to the follow
ing day, and the good work goes on.
In this way there can be no cheating.
You go to the grocery and ask for fresh
eggs, and the grocery man says he has
some eggs of the vintage of January
29th, 1880, for instance. You look at
them, and there are the figures, which
cannot lie. With this method it is an
object for the man to get rid of his eggs
knowing that Tomorrow may be too

MY Rules for Living.

have good long life and happy one.
May L not, therefore, just give my
simple rules for health in hopes that
some traveller on the up o. down hill of
life may look at them and be benefited
by them. I have practiced them for
many years and they have done me
: good; they may do good to others.
They are inexpensive and may be easily
abandoned, if they cause any harm.
I. Keep in the sunlight as much rs
possible. A plant will not thrive with
cut the sunbeam much less man.
ii. Breathe as much fresh air as
your business will permit. This makes
fresh blood; but it is never found in
the four walls of your building. Be-
meath the open sky, just there, and on
ly there, it comes to you.
III. Be strictly temperate. You
cannot break organic law, or any other
law, with impunity.
". Keep the feet always warm and
the head cool. Disease and death be-
gin at the feet more commonly than we
think.
V. Eat white bread when you can
not get brown bread.
VI. If out of order see which Of the
above rules you have not observed, 4,
then rub yourself all over with towel,
saturated with ! salt water and well
dried and begin upon the rules again.
VII. Look ever on the bright, which
is the heaven side of life. This is far
better than a medicine.
These seven simple rules, good for
the valid or invalid, If rightly observed
would save, Iapprehend, deal of pain,
prolong life, and SO far as health goes,
make it worth the having.

NEWLY PAINTED RooMs.-The danger
of inhaling the vapor of turpentine has
been long known, anc its pernicious in
1uence on the health is beyond all
doubt, as has been verified in several
cases occurring in persons sleeping in
newly painted rooms, some of which
have even proved fatal. Several the0-
r!es, more or less plausible, have been
propounded to explain the prejudicial
effects of the inhalation Of the vapors; /;
but, whatever be the correct explana-
ton, there Is no doubt of the danger of
occupying room recently painted in
which turpentine has been employed,
before complete dessication has taken
place. 1t was pointed out by the CouR-
Gil of Hygiene, that a sudden death
which recently took place in Paris was
attributable to this cause, IL being
shown that H. could not be ascribed to
the lead which entered into the COM
position of the paint Of the room in
which the deceased slept; the lead, be-
ing fixed and nonvolatile, cannot in
these cases be accused Of being the
offending element.

A practical question, surely, In these
DAYS, and one in which many are inter-
ested, whether sufficiently so as to bene-
fit their finances remains to be seen.
The first step In saving Is to go to mar
ket yourself. Tell the grocery boy not
to come again, and>put on your bonnet
and shawl after breakfast, and 60 out
and buy what you need for the day.
At the end of the month your expenses
will have been lessened and your table
improved. "HowP" BY going to the
market you see whatever fresh fruit or
vegetables are there; you can often buy
a cheep piece of meat that is sweet and
good, and by cooking 1t In an appetiz-
ing way, add TO your list of vegetables,
make nice dessert, and your dinner
will not have cost as much as formerly,
when every days dinner seemed alike.
Another way to save Is to give up buy
ing at retail anything that can be
bought at wholesale; then take the
money saved and put 1t away, as If it
did not exist. The idea is a wrong one,
that economy means parsimony. One
of the sLrest ways TO save Is TO have
every dish we'll cooked, that nothing is
to be thrown away as worthless. Were
all the money saved that is thrown out
by unseasened vegetables, underdone
or overdone meats, burned cakes and
pies, scorched oatmeal and rice, many
dollars would be added to the savings
of the house. You say, GLOW can l
help lt?" If you cannot afford cook,
see TO these things yourself. Money Is
wasted in little things more than In ex-
pensive articles of food, and If money
is an item to you, 1t is worth little
trouble. A fourth way to save money
is to buy only the healthiest and best
rightly made, fresh fruits and vegetables
dishes. BY setting before your family
good meats, well cooked, good bread,
they will be healthy and save you
Doctors bill of two or more dollars a
visit. Time as we'll as money is saved
by having bill of fare for each day in
IAC WCChS " OC val ACu IALlCS alAN
seasons. This saves the trouble of think
ing whatto have next day. Another
way to save is by knowing just how 10
use all that is left from to-day's dinner.
A French cook will make a bountiful
and enjoyable dinner of what others
would throw away. Why should not
we do as wellP One of the largest out
lets TO family's income is by tea or
coffee. Aside from the actual expense
of the articles themselves, they necessi-
tate an increased milk bill, and the item
of sugar, which alone is $50 year. If
any family really wishes to economize
let them try these rules year, and tell
US if they are disappointed.

GLYcERINE OINrMENT.-A very good
preparation of glycerine to have always
on hand, can be readily prepared by
any apothecary or druggist: In two
ounces of sweet oil OF almonds, melt
by slow heat, half an ounce Of sper-
maceti, and one dram of white wax.
Then add one ounce Of good glycerine,
stirring until cold. When cold, scent
1t by stirring in q little oil of roses.
Keep in small jars or small wide neck
ed bottles. In hot weather keep close
ly corked, as 1t sometimes gets little
rancid If long exposed to the warmth.
Half or fourth of che above quantities
may be used. Every drugstore should
keep jar of it, and recommend its use.
1t is excellent for softening the skin,
for most injured skin surfaces that are
not open sores; for chafed places, for
moistenlng corns or callused feet or
toes, and especially for chapped face,
lips or hands. When the hands are
chapped or cracked, or roughened by
cold, wash them clean with soap, and
rub them well with this glycerine olnt-
ment, wiping lt off ugh to prevent
soiling clothing. Ii this is done at
night the hands will be soft and in good
condition in the morning, except when
deeply cracked. 1t Is very good to
apply TO the hands after washing day.
This is an excellent preparation TO use
by those afflicted with the distressing
trouble known as h@morro Ids or piles.

Lady on Gymnastics.

A lady physician in New York writes
as follows. For years have been con-
vinced that the mania for gymnastic
exercises, athletic development, and
muscular power has been productive of
o vast deal of harm. Years ago the
theory in vogue for gaining health was
dieting, and hundreds of people dieted
themselves into insanity of the grave.
Now the mania is for exercise, and
hundreds of young men, and (although
1t may seem to be a ridiculous state
ment) young women also, are killing
themselves by exercise" Nature
rebels at "knotted" muscles, aud re-
quires the full payment of a serious PEN
atty whenever the folly is perpetrated
of developing muscles as a business,
through the swinging of dumb-bells
and Indian clubs. The long walks,
which are taken too frequently and
with quite too much vim, under the
influence IF spirit of emulation or to
win belt, are productive of far more
injury than benefit. But, most of all,
want TO call attention to the idea of
daily bathing. 1t Is simple form of
suicide, lacking the element of crime,
because done through Ignorance, lack
ing the horror, because 1t also lacks
the crimson stains and mangled form of
the ordinary suicide. Our young men
are not content until they are scrubbed
bald-headed by the willing barber, and
look in their youth very "near of Kin,
indeed, to their aged grand-sires.
Were it not for the exceeding tender
ness and the quick rebellion raised
when the whiskers are tampered with,
and the fact that fashion benevolently
and fortunately guards them, no doubt
thev, too, would be shampooed out OF
existence so effectually as 10 leave the
looming man" without that becoming
adornment. The poor body is literally
scrubbed out of existence. Nature
guards her outposts very jealously, but
she cannot do double duty i'll one di-
rection without signal failure in some
other. Consequently, when the sur
face of the body is daily denuded of the
cuticle under the vigorous application
of the barbarous "coarse towel" she
must repair damages at the expense OF
the digestion or the natural elimination
of morbid matter some organ loses the
harmony with its fellows which is
necessary TO perfect whole Cleanll-
ness is not only "neXt to goodness
but a very large part OF 1t, and 1t Is
highly important that bathing should be
employed as hygenic force; but not
the shower-bath when an exhausted
body is slowly waking from al unnatu-
raj sleep; nor a cold sponge when the
DAVIS duties have exhausted mind and
BODY both. To change the clothing
frequently, and permit thorough all
ing: to expose the entire surface of the
BODY for a few moments to the air of
the room on rising and retiring; a
light brushing with a soft brush or
fine towel, and good bath once or
twice a week. are all that an American
can endure and retain health. Light
exercise of those muscles called into
play in the daily routine is also desira-
BILE, but it should be calisthenic, not
gymnastic, and should not include a
vigorous pounding Of the chest. than
which nothing can be worse tor the
lungs.
