ADVERTISEMENTS ARE NEws.-Good, fresh
advertisements, truthfully says the Albany

able portion of newspaper. We have been
told that prominent New York journalist
hoped to see the day when the profits on the
circulation of his paper would be so large
that he could dispense with advertising al

EARLY PIETY.

The. following story is acknowledged
good "one," but We have never before seen
it in print:
A few years since, some roguish boys in
town not thousand miles distant from the
capital Of New Hampshire, pursuaded Jo-
seph N. or, as he was generally called,
"Joe," to attend school. Joe was an over.
grown, balf.witted, profans lad, and the boys
had anticipated considerable fun out of him !;
but the answers to the various questions pro-
pounded were given 80 readily and correctly
that no one could for moment suppose that
be was not fully versed in theological lore
Joe was duly asked in, placed on a settee
in front of the one on which his friends were
seated, and the recitation commenced:
The teacher first questioned the class on
their regular lesson, and then turned to
Joe:
my friend" said the teacher, "who made
the world we inhabit?"
"Eh ?" said Joe turning up his eyes like
an expiring calf.
"Who made the world we inhabit p
Just as he was probably about to give the
answer, one of the boys seated behind insert
ed pin into bis (Joe's) pants.
"God Almighty !" answered Joe, in an ele-
waited tone, rising quickly from his seat at
the same time.
THAT is correct" replied the teacher "but
it is not necessary that you should rise in
answering. A sitting posture was just as
WE'LL"
Joe was again seated, and the catechism
proceeded.
"Who died to save the world ?"
The pin was again inserted, and Joe re.
plied-"Jesus Christi in still louder voice,
rising, as before, from his seat.
THAT is also correct but do not manifest
so much feeling-do be more composed and
reserved in your manner" said the teacher
in an expostulating tone.
After Joe had calmed down, the examina
ton went on.
"What will be the final doom of all wick
ed men ?" was the subject now up for con
sideration, and as the pin was again stuck in
Joe thundered out, with higher elevation o.
his body-"Hell and damnation!"
my young friend" said the instructor
"you give the true answers to all these ques
tions; but while you are here We wish you tt
be more mild in your words. Do endeavor
if you can, to restrain your enthusiasm, ant
give less extended scope to your feelings"

be bought; what they are sold for; who has
houses to rent or sell who wishes to pur-
chase real estate; where employment and
labor can be obtained; and thousand other
things they want to know. 1t is all error to
suppose that only the editors and reporters
supply news worth reading. The skillful ad-
vertiser furnishes good share of it, and if
there are any readers who fail to look over
the advertising columns of their paper, they
miss great deal of information that would
provevaluable to them.

HULLED CoRN.-The old way of making
hulled corn was to boil it in strong lye made
from hard wood ashes until the bull or skin
would rub off; then remove and wash until
all the lye or potash was thoroughly removed.
But a more modern way is to soak the corn
overnight in warm water, and in the morning
put it in an iron kettle with warm water
enough to cover it. To each quart of corn
put one tablespoonful of soda, boil until the
hulls come off readily, then wash in clean
water several times, then put on and boil un-
til tender, adding salt. When done turn into
a sieve and allow the water to drain off.

SOLOMON AND THE BLAcKsM1TH.-The
story goes that during the. building of Solo
mons temple, the wise ruler decided to treat
the artisans employed on his famous edi6ce
to banquet. While the men were enjoying
the good things his bounty had provided,
King Solomon moved about from table to ta
BILE, endeavoring to become better acquainted
with his workmen. To one he said:
"My friend, what's your trade ?"
"A carpenter"
"And who makes your tools?"
"The blacksmith
To another Solomon said:
"What is your trade ?"
"a mason"
"And who makes your tools p
"The blacksmith"
The third stated that he was stone cutter,
and that the blacksmith also made his tools.
The fourth man that King Solomon addressed
was the blacksmith himself He was a pow
erful man with barred arms, on which the
muscles stood out in bold relief, seemingly
almost as hard as the metal he worked.
"And what is your trade, my good man 7"
said the King.
"Blacksmith," laconically replied the man
of the anvil and sledge.
"And who makes your tools" ?"
"Make 'em myself"
Whereupon King Solomon Immediately
proclaimed him the king of mechanics, be-
cause he could not only make his own tools,
but all other artisans we're forced to 60 to him
to have their tools made.

ter hurtful amount of dust. A simple and
cheap protection from such an annoyance is
to get piece of sponge large enough to cover
the nostrils and mouth, hollow it out on one
side with pair of scissors to fit the face, at
tach string to each side and tie it on. First
wet it we'll, and squeeze out most of the water.
Repeat this whenever the sponge becomes
dry. All the dust will be caught in the damp
cavities, and is easily washed out.

MT oponges long in use are sometimes af-
fected with sliminess, which is caused by the
sponge not being wrung as dry as possible i'm
mediately after use. When this is once
formed it increases rapidly. A contempora-
ry says that one of the most ehectual recipes
for cleansing sponges, and certainly one of
the cheapest, is strong solution of salt and
water, in which they should soak for few
hours. and then be thoroughly dried. Sponges
should not be left in sponge dish they
should be kept suspended where the air can
freely circulate around them. Quick evapo-
ration of the moisture is the main thing to
keep them in good order.

To KEEP UNoccUP1ED Rooms DRY.-It
occurs with many people that they have to
leave their houses for time, either in sum-
mer or winter, during which period, especial
ly in damp seasons, not only the furniture,
but also the walls and the paper on them, are
liable to get damaged by the moisture in the
atmosphere. This can be avoided in simple
manner. Before leaving the house the rooms
containing furniture ought to be well fastened
up, TO exclude as much of the outer air as
possible; dish with dry chloride of lime
should then be placed in the middle of the
apartment, and inside another larger empty
vessel, intended to receive the water flowing
out Of the former. The well-dried chloride
of lime has such an affinity for water that it

CHEESE MADE FROM PoTAToEs.-A for
eign paper says that cheese is made from po-
tatoes in Thuringia snd Saxony. After hav.
ing collected quantity of potatoes of good
quality, giving the preference to large white
kind, they are boiled in cauldron, and, after
becoming cool, they are reduced to a pulp,
either by means of crater or mortar. 10
FIVE pounds of this pulp, which ought to be as
equal as possible, is added one pound of sour
milk and the necessary quantity fsalt The
whole is kneaded together and the mixture
covered up and allowed to lie three or four
days, according to the season. At the end of
this time it is kneaded anew, and the cheese
is placed in little baskets, when the superAu'
Gus moisture escapes. They are then allowed
to dry in the shade, and placed in layers in
large vessels, where they must remain for 6f-
teen days. The older these cheeses are the
more their quality improves. Three kinds
are made. The first and most common is
made as detailed above; the second with four
parts of potatoes and two parts of curded
milk :; the third with two parts of potatoes
and four parts of COW or eve milk. These
cheeses have this advantage over other kinds
they do not engender worms; and they keep
fresh for number of years, provided they
are placed in dry situation, and in we'll
closed vessels.
