one, and almost every day it becomes more so.
Among other things exhibited last year at the
Berlin Exhibition, were paper buckets, urns,
"bronzes," " asphalt roofing, watercans, carpets,
shirts, whole suits of clothes, jewelry, mate
risls for the garden walks, window.curtains
lanterns, and pocket-handkerchiefs. The
most striking of the many objects exhibited
in this material was, perhaps, a fire.stove with
cheerful fire burning in it. We have, from
time to time, noted the announcements of
newly y.invented railway carriages and carriage
wheels, chimney. pots, -four barrels, cottage.
walls, roofing tiles, and bricks and dies for
stamping, all made of paper. A material
capable of so many uses, so very diversified
in character, is obviously destined to play a
very important part in our manufacturing fu-
ture. Articles Of this kind, which have just
now perhaps the greatest interest, and which
are among the greatest novelties in this way,

sheets of paper as substitute for bed-clothes,
or, at least, as an addition to bed-clothes.

children a good education, says his expert
ence has taught him these things: l. One
acre of land, we'll prepared and we'll cult
waited, produces more than two which received
only the same amount Of labor had on one.
g. One cow, horse, mule, sheep or hog we'll
fed, is more profitable than two kept on the
amount necessary to keep one we'll. 2. One
acre of clover or grass is worth more than
two of cotton where no grass or clover is
raised. 4. No farmer who buys oats, corn,
wheat, fodder and hay, as rule, for ten
years, can keep the sheriff away from the
door in the end. 5. The farmer who never
reads the papers, sneers at book farming and
Improvements, always has leaky roof poor

bad seasons" g. The farmer who is above
his business and intrusts it to another to man
age, soon has no business to attend to. Z
The farmer whose habitual beverage is cold
water, is healthier, wealthier, and wiser than
he who does not refuse to drink.
MULLEN AS CURE FOR CONSUMPTION
~
change: II have discovered a remedy for
consumption. 1t has cured number of cases
after they had commenced bleeding at the
lungs and the hectic flush was already on the
cheek. After trying this remedy to my own
satisfaction, have thought philanthropy re-
quired that 1 should let it be known to the
world. 1t is common mullen stepped strongly
sweetened with cofee.sugar and drank freely
1t is much more beneficial if allowed to be-
come cool before using A bottle Of the tea
should be carried in the pocket and used
whenever there is desire for drink. Young
or old plants are good, dried in the shade and
kept in clean bags. The medicine must be
continued from three to six months, accor
ding to the nature of the disease. 1t is very
good for the blood vessels, also. 1t strength
ems and builds up the system instead of taking
away the strength ; it makes good blood and
takes Inflammation away from the lungs.
FooD TO MAKE FLEsH.-Sugar, syrup
fresh cheese, wheaton grits, hominy, juicy
meats, are the foods to make flesh. Almost
any woman will get plump on brown bread
and wheaton grits, or oatmeal eaten twice g
day with plenty of meat and vegetables al
breakfast and supper of brown biscuit
with sweet meats, cheese and cream, or coffee
drank with plenty of sugar and cream
1t is not necessary to eat largely if the appe
tite does not call for it, but the food mus

would be plump and spirited should not be
afraid to indulge it. Unrelishing, distastefu
food, will not nourish and stimulate like
what is piquant and savory and changed il
variety day by day.
WASHING MADE EAsY.-No woman will
regret having given this recipe trial. II
will prevent many weary step, many all
aching arm or foot; yes many heartache
too. Take one pound of salsoda, one-hali
pound of unslaked lime; put them into one
gallon of water, boil twenty minutes, let stand
till cool, and then pour off and put in stone
jug. Soak your dirty clothes over night, OF
until well wet through, wiring out and rub on
plenty of soap, and to one boiler of clothes
covered with water add one teacup of the
fluid. Boil half an hour fast, then wash
through one suds, rinse in two waters, and
your clothes will look nice.
FLAT IRoNs.-In damp weather fiat irons
unless kept on the stove, are apt to gather
moisture, get rough, and sometimes rusty
and it is not well to keep them hot all the
time, for a good many reasons-they are liable
to get knocked off and broken, and after
awhile do not retain the heat as we'll, and
they are in the way. If you occasionally
rub the smooth surface with bit of beeswax
and then rub on piece of cloth, they will al
ways keep bright and smooth. If they do
ever happen to get wet and rust, lay little
fine salt upon a smooth board and rub them
over it quickly while hot.
SUPERIOR SoFT G1NGERBREAD.--Four
eggs well beaten, one cup of butter and lard
mixed, one cup of brown sugar. one cup Of
New Orleans molasses, two tablespoonfuls of
ginger, two tablespoonful of cinnamon, one
tablespoonful of allspice, one tablespoonful of
cloves, two teaspoonfuls of soda dissolved in
little cold water, four cups of sifted -four,
two-thirds of cup of boiling hot water add
the hot water the last thing. Bake immedi-
ately in hot oven. Be sure and paper the
bottom of your pan. Raisins and currants
added are an improvement.

few drops of ammonia. To take away the

in hot water, as hot as can be borne. For
pimples and red, blotchy face, eschew tea,
coffee, meat and pastry. The same for scrof
