How to Save Lamp Chimneys.

A Leipsic journal, which makes q
specially of matters relating to glass,
gives method which it asserts will pre-
vent chimneys from cracking The
treatment will not only render lamp
chimneys, tumblers, and like articles
more durable, but may be applied with
advantage to crockery, stoneware, porce-
lain, etc. The chimneys, tumblers, etc. I,
are put into pot filed with cold water,
to which some common table salt has
been added. The water is well boiled
over a fire, and then allowed to cool
slowly. When the articles are taken out
and washed, they will be found to
resist afterward any sudden changes Of
temperature. The process is simply one
of annealing, and the slower the cooling
part of it is conducted the more effective
viii be the work.

Facts.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do well to carefully con
suit the time tables of the Baltimore
and Ohio road. Its celebrated fast
trains, its sure connections, and rates
always as low as the lowest, make it
beyond all controversy the best line
west. Colonists are carried in first
class cars on fast trains, and every
possible care is taken to insure comfort
and convenience. BY the Baltimore
and Ohio only is the choice of routes
offered to the west, via st. Louis CT
Chicago, and in either case, trains run
through without change of cars. Df-
rect connection is made at both cities
with all leading lines to the west,
northwest and southwest, and there is
but single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota
etc. No other line can offer such adj
vantages as the Baltimore and Ohio.
1t costs but very little time and trou-
BILE to learn this, and in the end may
lead to the saving of much Of both as
well as m ney. Above all things do
not purchase tickets before having
talk or receiving letter from one Of
the B. n 0. Agents. A letter address
ed to 3. F. Bond, Cumberland, Md;
to G. E. Dudrow, Harper's Ferry; to
Dan'l Bride, Baltimore, Md; or j.
A. Fritz, Somerset, Pa. or a call upon
either of these gentlemen will lead to
thorough information as to all neoessa-
ry details of time, connections, fares,
baggage and other matters.

She body clean. The countless pores
of the skin are so many drain tiles
for the refuse of the system. If they
become clogged and SO deadened in
their action, we must expect to be-

it's countless forms. Let us not be

2. Devote eight hours out Of the
twenty -four to sleep. If a mother is
robbed of sleep by wakeful baby,
she must take nap sometime during
the day. Even ten minutes of re-

PREPARING FOR THE FAIR.-In the
September number of the american
Agaieultuafst DR.. Geo. Thurber illus
trates common trouble at our local
fairs as follows:
People bring things, which, not be-
ing properly exhibited, are unnoticed
and as a consequence they do not
bring anything next year. 1t should
be the business of some one at every
fair to look out for these details. Ma
ny good housewife robs her garden
to make up large decorative boquet
and when she reaches the fair finds
no place to put it. 1t can only be
laid down somewhere, probably in
the sun, no one to take charge of it
or care for it. 1t is the neglect of
these little things that discourages
contributors. Take such a boquet
for example, a proper person i'll
charge, if he could not find a proper
vase to hold water for it he would
take some newspapers, make big
ball of mud around the stems, bind
the papers around the ball, and the
boauet would stand erect ON its mud
base for days.
Those who have in their gardens
cannas, castor beans, large coleuses
or other decorative plants, that can
be spared can do much toward deco
rating, but they must begin a week
or two beforehand. Get from the
store nailkegs and boxes of various
sizes: if likely to be heavy put in rope
handles Take up such plants as
can be spared for the purpose, and
pot them in these kegs or boxes, tax
ing up as much earth with the roots
as practicable. Do this towards
night, place in shed or other shell
tered place, where the wind will not
reach them and water both soil and
foliage. The few that wilt will recov-
err in day or two, when they may be
placed outside. When ready to take
them to the fair, use stakes and
Irvine to prevent them from jolting in
the wagon and getting broken. Wher
the plants are set in place, cover The
kegs or. boxes with brown paper. /
one has plenty. of arborvitae trees
he can cut them judiciously and fine
that the twigs or branches are things
of which there cannot be too many
for decoration. Let whoever goes tt
the fair with the intention of working
take a paper of tacks, another O.
stout pins, balls of Irvine, fine and
coarse, several pencils, some blank
cards, a stout jack knife and above
all, cheerful spirit, that leads to tho
doing Of everything that needs to be
done to make all things show at their
best-bring order out of chaos"

The season Of fairs it near at hand.
The best of the farmers products, in
Guiding fruits and vegetables of the
year, are soon to be brought together
in hundreds, yes thousands, of places
all over the United States, and will
be seen by great multitudes of people,
that yearly visit the fairs. We are
glad that there is such rapid growth
in the number of these shows, accom-
panied by an advance in their quality.
We hope that the good work may go
on until every owner of choice cattle,
every grower of good corn or fine roots
will vie with the proprietor of an Or
chard or vegetable garden, and that
all must be so much interested as
not only to be in attendance upon
these fairs, but take to the fair their
best products, and have personal in
terest in the success of the exhibition

knowledge to be acquired in the com
petition is far above the money value
of any prize that is awarded. Go to

WoMANLY ECoNoMY.-Thcre is much
talk of the extravaganza of woman
and there is no doubt that when n
woman puts her hand to the spending
of money she can do it with perfect
looseness. Women are naturally eX-
tremists and do what ever they do,
and think what ever they think with
all their might. But to this question
of spending money there are two
sides, and the balance decidedly in
clines toward saving rather than
spending. Women are naturally
economists. They have twice the
skill of saving that men have. Think
of the "auld clothes made to look
amist as good as new think of the
old bonnets rctrimmed out in the lat
est style; think of the twisting and
turning, the contliving and saving to
which many a woman resorts to keep
her family looking respectable, while
her husband never thinks Of stinting
himself in cigars and liquors. Many
a man is kept from pauperism by the
contrivings of his wife; many a fam
lily owes the comfortable house they
inhabit more to the economy of the
mother than the saving of the father.
Before men talk of the extravaganza
of women, they should strive to learn
a lesson from their economy.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS. - To remove
fingermarks on a highly polished pi-
ano, wipe with q cloth wet with pure
cold water. 1t does not injure in the
slightest if wiped dry, and restores
the new look at once.
Add two ounces of powdered alum
and two ounces of borax to a twenty
barrel cistern of rain-water, that is
blackened or oily and in a few hours
the sediment will settle, and the wa
ter be clarified and fit for washing.
If ink has been spilled on rose
wood or mahogany furniture, half a
teaspoonful of oil of vitriol in table
spoonful of water, applied with a
feather, will quickly remove it.
Oxalic acid is used for removing
ink and rust stains which do not
yield to other detcrgents. 1t may al
so be used for destroying the stains
of fruits and astringent juices, and
old stains of urine However its use
is limited to white goods, as it attacts
fugitive colors5 and even light shades
of those reputea to be fast. The
best method of applying it is to dis
solve it in cold or lukewarm water, to
let it remain a moment on the spot,
and then rub it with the fingers.
To keep knives from rusting, scour
bright, wipe thoroughly, dry them by
the fire, dust fine wood ashes fresh
from the stove plentil'ully over them
on both sides, leaving those which
adhere to the blades, wrap in piece
of cloth and roll up in a piece of pa
per SO that the knives are all covered
up. Now you may lay them away
for a year and when you look at them
you will not find rusty spots on the
steel blades.

Iorof. TpndaI in Nineteenth Century.
Theologians were horrified when first in

question OF antipodes exercised them for a
long time, most Of them pouring ridicule on
the idea that men could exist with their feet
turned toward us, and with their heads point
ed downward. think it is Sir George Airy
who refers to the case Of an overcurious
individual asking what We should see if we
went to the edge Of the world and looked
over. That the earth was fiat surface on
which the sky rested was the belief enter
tanned by the founders Of all our great re-
ligious systems. Even liberal Protestant
theo1ogians shgmatized the copernicau
theory as being "built on fallible phenomena
