Things to be Remembered,

That parsley eaten with vinegar vii
remove the unpleasant effects of eating
onions.
That cakes, buildings, etc, are i'm
proved by making the cufrants, sugar
ana Sepr hot before using them.
That lamp shades of ground glas,
should be cleaned with soap or pearl
ash these will not iniure or discolol
them.
That gold lace may be cleaned by
rubbing it with a soft brush, dipped in
roche alum, burnt and sifted to a very
fine powder.
That earthly mould should never be
washed from potatoes, carrots, or other
roots, until Immediately before they are
to be cooked.
That cold boiled potatoes used as
soap will clean the hands and keep the
skin soft and healthy. Those not over
boiled are the best,
That charcoal powder is good for pol
lshing knives without destroying the
blades. 1t is also a good tooth powder
when finely %pulyerized.
That potato water in which potatoes
have been boiled, the water being al
lowed to settle and afterwards strained,
is good for sponging dirt out of silk.
That straw mating may be cleaned
with a large coarse cloth, dipped in salt
and water, and then wiped dry. The
salt prevents the straw from turning
yellow.
That buttermilk is excellent for clean
ing sponges. Steep the sponge in the
milk for some hours, then squeeze it
out, and wash it in cold water. Lemon
juice is also good.
That tea leaves, used for keeping
down the dust when sweeping carpets,
are apt to stain light %colors salt is the
best in the winter and new mown hay
in the summer.
That a piece of linen cloth dipped in
turpentine and wrapped round the toe
on which a soft corn is situated, will
give relief, and after a few days the corn
disappear,
That rusty black italian Grape may be
'estored by dipping in skinned milk
water, with a bit Of fine glue dis
solved in it, and made scalding hot. 1t
should be clapped and pulled dry, like
muslin.
That the white of an egg, into which
piece of alum about the size of a wal
nut has been stewed until it forms a
ely, is a capital remedy for sprains. 1t
.hould be laid over the sprain upon a
'iece of lint, and be changed as often as
t becomes dry.

A Great Risk.

The girl who marries before she ha,
had any experience in the management
OF domestic affairs, is to be greatly pitied.
What can mothers be thinking of when
they permit their daughters to grow up
in complete idleness ? Yet it is not an
uncommon occurrence-it is one that is
taking place every day-for n young
woman who has never had any response
blllty whatever, whose duties, if she has
had any work worthy of the NAME, have
been to sweep and dust o few rooms,
and to keep fresh flowers in the vases,
to marry and leave home and friends to
go with her husband to a new and
strange place, where they are to be
looked upon as man and woman. With
out one familiar friend upon whose
counsels she may rely, she starts out
alone. Her mothers heart saddens as
she bids her child good-by, and possibly
at that moment she realizes what q help
less being she is sending ont without the
slightest preparation to do q woman's
hard work in the world. But it is too
late then for anything but regret. Mean
while, the poor little wife commences n
new and bitter experience. At home
she never bought ever n pair of gloves
without advice her judgment is entire
~ uncultivated, or she has too little
independence of character. The mis-
taken idea which regulated her life rs q
daughter causes her much suffering as q
wife. She goes forward with the uncer-
tain steps of a child. She has so many
new anxieties, she makes such grave
mistakes in the things she buys, is east
~ made to think in the store that she
needs things which, when at home, she
loes not euen wish to have. She is i'm
posed upon continually. II is n shame
Tor girls to be brought up like this, and
generally they are not to blame the
mothers, who ought to know better, /
must be held responsible for this state ,
VI things, and for the poor, incompetent .
wives they are providing for young men
rom whom they require much more
han they are giving.

directly or indirectly, are the most i'm
poEtant agents in the growth of plants

they are acted on chemically by air and
water, they are locked up and not avail
able to plants and might as well not be
there. We know too we'll what the general
practice is. Land is plowed as hurried
ly as possible, without regard to its
order and FIRE quently, when finished,
IS nothing but a mass Of Jumps. The
harrow is expected to put all to rights,
but yet when these Jumps are run over
not broken up-and the corn is being
planted, it is often difficult to get pull
yerlzed dirt enough to cover it. Under
such circumstances how is it possible for
the crop to succeed? A clod, solid and
hard, is as useless in furnishing food to
the crop as a stone, and yet it may con-
tain therein elements which, if available,
would transform the pale, sickly sprou
into q vigorous, healthy plant.
The work of d~isintegration must be
done before the corn is planted, and it
should be as deep as possible. In loose,
loamy soils the work of pulverization is
comparatively easy, as the harrow will
generally correct any imperfection in
the blowing. But tits of the vast area of
stiff clay soils that we speak-such as
predominant over the larger portions of
the State and c~ountry-which are rich
in all the elements of plant food, and
will produce double and treble the aver
age crop under a better system of cul-
ture. Frost also is a powerful agent in
the work Of disintegrating such soils, as
those who availed themselves of oppor-
tunities to break up their corn land last
fall will testify-fnding it, as they do, !

The'Highland Tartan.

Dear to each Highland soldiers heart
The tartan Of his elan,
Symbol Of glory and Of pride
To every Highland man.
Whether he dwell mid Atbole's hin.
Or whether the winding Tay,
by Biman's glens and forests fair
To ocean wends its way;
Or nearer to the northern star.
Whore SHOWS the mountain crown.
And towering over silver lakes,
Stern peaks Of granite frown.
In every country, far or near,
Where Highland men are known
The tartan plaid is greeted still
With homage all its own.
Still to the pibroch's stirring strains
On many a foreign shore,
The Highland clans press nobly on
To victory, as Of yore.
True to traditions of the past,
True to their ancient fame,
May Caledonia's children add
Fresh glorivz 70 her name.

One of the most convenient articles
to be used in a sick-room is a sand bag.
Get some clean, fine sand, dry it thor
oughly in kettle on the stove, make a
bag about eightinches square offlannel,
fill it with the dry sand, sew the open
ing carefully together, and cover the
bag with cotton or linen cloth. This
will prevent the sand from sitting out,
and will also enable you to heat the bag
quickly by placing it in the oven, or
even on the top Of the stove, After once
using this you will never again attempt
to warm the feet or hands of n sick per-
son with a bottle of hot water or a
brick. The sand holds the heat a long
time, and the bag can be tucked mp to
the back without hurting the invalid. 1t
is n good plan to make two or three of
the bags and keep them ready for use.

The Senate.

The death of President Garfield and the in
auguration of Vice p resident Arthur as Presi-
! dent, leaves the Senate without pres iding Of
ficer, that body having adjourned at the extra
session last spring, without electing pro tenn
pore president. The Secretary of the Senate died
since the adjournment of the special session.
and there is, consequently, no one to discharge
the duties of that position. Since the adjourn
ment, Senator Burnside, of Rhode Island, has
died, leaving three vacancies in the Senate
Messrs. Platt and Conkling, of New York,
having resigned The SUCCESSORS of the latter
two have been elected and duly commissioned
and the successor of Senator Burnside will be
elected in time to take his seat at the meeting
of the Senate. The Senate now stands poiti-
cally, when all the seats are filled, 81 Republic
cans and 81 Democrats, and two independents
OF these, one, Senator Davis, of Illinois, voted
with the Democrats at the called session, and
the other, Senator Malone, of Virginia, voted
with the Republicans. There are three Re-
publicans who have not been sworn in, the
two New York Senators and the one from
Democrats have 81 senators now fully quail
flied to participate in the organization and
the Republicans only 81. The three Sena-
tors, however, will appear at the meeting of
the Senate ready to take their seats as soon as
they are sworn in. Until this takes place New
York will not be represented in that 0ody and
Rhode Island only partially represented.
1t is claimed, by the Democrats, that they
have the right to proceed to the election of a
presiding officer, in this state of the case. This
naked right may not be denied, but whether it
will be accepted by the country as the bot thing
to do under the circumstances, is another
matter. The pro tenn president of the Senate,
stands in the relation ofsuccessor to President
Arthur, should he by disease or accident die. If
the Democrats should proceed to elect Dem
ocratic presiding officer-as they will have the
power to do-and from any cause the Chief
Executive office of the nation becomes vacant,
we would have the singular spectacle OF
Democratic President, in the face ofthe verdict
ofthe people last fall in favor ofthe Republican
party and Republican administration. We
may expect the Democrats to grasp all in
sight, for they are very hungry and very
greedy, but should they avail of the result of
Guiteaus bullet to place themselves in the line
of the Presidential succession, in the way sug-
gested, they will never hear the last Of it. 1t
would constitute one of those monumental
blunders for which they are famous, and re-
peat the old, old story OF their past history, of
just at the right time to secure

We had the pleasure of a call on Monday
last from Mr. Lewis, of the Detroit Free Press
who has been travelling through the Valley
for the past two weeks. His visit here was tc
gather material for some instructive articles
for his widely circulated and very popular
journal. We learn from him that there is
much inquiry in the Northwest about Virgin.
ia and the South, and his object is to gather
data and information, by personal observation
and intercourse, to communicate to the read
ers of the Press something reliable. The Pres
is now publishing European edition, re-
printed in Europe, and scattered over the Con.
tinent. The facts he may learn as to ouI
methods of farming, and industrial pursuits
prices OF land, wages paid to laborers and me-
chanics, will be thrown into letters, printed in
the Press, and reprinted in the foreign edition.
We found Mr.. Lewis most genial gentleman
with very practical turn of mind and appre-
citation of what he sees and hears. He left for
Richmond on the Monday train snd expected
to extend his journey to Atlanta.
The Press is one of the best papers in the
United States, and with its foreign and do
nestle correspondence is fast reaching to a
grade of Journalism singular and unprecedent-
ed in its completeness.
