To remove grease from WOODEN materials
without injuring the color of the fabric, use
good benzine.
To VARNIsH STRAW OR CHIP HATS
BLACKLIST alchohol, four ounces; black

apply it when warm by means Of soft

gives stiffness to old straw hats or bonnets,
makes a beautiful gloss and resists wet.
To make mucilage in stick from solidi-
fed, dissolve gum arabic in hot water to
form sirupy liquid add little Glove oil,
and thicken with powdered gum dextrine;
mold and dry slowly.
Furniture can be cleaned with kerosene
oil, but must be wiped off we'll. White
spots on vanished wood are removed by
rubbing with flannel wet in camphene or
kerosene. Dull varnish is frightened by
rubbing with flannel wet with strong alco-
hol. which dissolves a trife of the gum of
the old varnish, and gives fresh surface.
CARE OF FURS-Furs should be combed
now az d then while in use and especially as
the spring approaches. When put away for
the summer they should first he beaten with
a small cane and carefully combed, and
then sewed up in calico bag carefully
turned in at the edges. A barrel or key in
which whisky has been kept is the best
place bookkeeping them. 1t lis a mistake to
suppose that moths can be kept away by
camphor, pepper, etc.
Wooden undergarments when shrunken
by washing cannot be made to resume their
original proportions. Something may be
done in that direction, however, by pres
sing them with hot iron while stretching
them to their full length. To wash flannel
so it will not shrink, make suds of hot
water, put the flannel in and pound or souse
up and down till it is clean, then wiring, and
put into scalding hot water and rinse; wiring
dry and hang at once on the line. We have
washed fannels in this way without shrink
ing them till they dropped to pieces from
wear. If the water is hard soften it with
borax. A machine makes the cleansing
fannels mere play.

The Electric Light in New York.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
In spite Of all the fun and ridicule di-
rected at the electric light, it is steadily and
rapidly gaining place in New York.
Broadway, for nearly mile, is lighted with
it; many large stores use it; the theaters
employ it before their entrances, and sever
al of the hotels have it at their doors; It
certainly the lightest light we have ever had,
and il. it could be turned on in the quar-
tiers which harbor the criminal classes on
the east and west sides Of the city, it would
be likely to do missionary work. AS a
means Of steady illumination. however, it
is, I think, very unpleasant. AS now used,
the glare is positively painful, and as it
blanches the skin to dreadful pallor, the
street beneath i seems peopled by crowds
Of wandering ghosts. This doubtless might
be renedied by the use Of mellow-toned
globes in place Of the white ones now used;
but the present use has been for the pur-
pose Of testing rather its intensity than it's
pleasantness.

Notions of the First Settlers.

Mr.. w. II. 81. Amidon, one of the first
settlers in the town of Chinatown, Wis,
and one of the most industrious and hard
working men in the county, has been very
severely troubled with rheumatic pains dur
ing the past few years, SO much at times,
that he was disabled from performing man
ual labor. Learning of the wonderful cures
effected by the use of St. Jacobs Oil he
procured few bottles and experienced inn
mediate relief. Many others of our ac-
quaintances have used it az express them
selves as highly gratifed. with the relief it
has afforded them. This king of medicines

Dr.. Werner Siemens has applied electri-
city to the operation of elevators. His
system, which operates through the trans

machine is as safe as the hydraulic system,

Prof. Bouchardat attributes to the vine
powerful sanitary properties. He asserts
that wherever it is cultivated to any con
siderable extent there is very sensible
diminution of intermittents. The virtue

When Mr.. Edward Wymper was on this
side Of Chimborazo, in the course of an ex-
ploration of the peaks Of the Andes, in
Ecuador, he saw a grand eruption of Coto-
paxi. Ashes rose in a column not less than
20, 900 feet above the rim of the crater, and
then expanded over an area Of many miles.
Two million tons of matter were elected in
this single eruption, and the particles of
the ashes were so fine that, in some samp-
les, it required not less than 25, 900 to make
grain in weight.
Some years ago the astronomer royal of
England argued that the disturbing effect Of
Venus was SO great that by it the earth was
materially pulled out of it's orbit. II is now
attempted to be shown that to this disturb
ing action are due the cold waves which oc-
cur on an average every eight years, and
that for the next forty years the temperature
will be below the average, as it has during
the past forty years been above the average.
In regard to high temperatures, mention is
made Of the fact that, for the last fifty years,
a heat wave has been observed to pass over
the earth every twelve years, nearly con-
temporary with the arrival of Jupiter at it's
perihelion.
In paper in the Journal of Science, Mr..
H. B. Baildon thus clears up point about
luxury: A luxury is often spoken of as syn
onymous with superfuity, and therefore
the contrary of necessity. This is not SO,
for it is curious point in human nature
that some luxury is necessity. Smoking
and drinking are undoubted luxuries, and
yet they are the last thing that the poorest
will dispense with. In fact, the harder a
mans life is in the main the more deter
mined he seems to have some hours of
luxury at the end of the day of toll. Hence
some Of the most skillful and industrious
of mechanics are most liable to indulge in
their staple luxury of drink. To say a
ing that it can practically be easily dispens-
ed with.

Fast TrOttels in 1880.

The list of fast trotters for 1880, recently
published, shows that 2: 30 can no longer
be considered as anything very remarkable
in the way of time with trotting horses. In
the list referred to, the names of 124 horses
appear that trotted in 2:27 or better, and
81 of the number reached those figures for
the first time in 1880. Three made their
mile in less than 2: 20 and four under 2: 22
We would not, however, in view of these
facts, advise farmers to turn their attention
to breeding fast trotters, for, as rule, they
are not the style of animal most serviceable
for ploughing or hauling heavy loads on a
farm. But the breeding of 'hese fast
animals only shows what is possible where
sufficient time and care are given to the
development of speed and endurance il the
horse. 1
