To Fasten Cloth on wooden Surfaces

The following is said to be an excel
lent method of fastening cloth to the
top of tables, desks, etc.. Make a mix
ture of 2f pounds of wheat -four, 3 table
spoonfuls of powdered alum; rub the
mixture well in suitable vessel, with
water, to uniform smooth paste trans
fer this to small kettle over fire, and
stir until the paste is perfectly homoge-
neous without Jumps. AS soon as the
mass has become so stiff that the stirrer
remains upright in it transfer it to an
other vessel and cover it up so that no
skin may form on its surface.
This paste is applied in very thin
layer to the surface of the table; the
cloth, or leather, is then laid and press
ed upon it, and smoothed with roller.
The ends are cut off after drying. If
leather is to be fastened on, this must
first be moistened with water. The
paste is then applied, and the leather
rubbed smooth with cloth.

How to Treat a Cold.

A correspondent of the Germantown
telegraph says When yon get chilled
all over and away into your bones, and
begin to sniffie and almost struggle for
your breath, just begin in time and your
tribulation need not last very long
Get some powdered borax and snuff the
dry powder up your nostrils. Get your
camphor bottle, smell it frequently,
pour some on your handkerchief and
wipe your nose with it whenever need
ed. Your nose will not get sore, and
you will soon wonder what's become of
your cold. Begin this treatment in the
forenoon and keep on at intervals until
you go to bed, and you will sleep as well
as ever you did. I'm just telling you
my experience.

Measuring Corn.


A number of rules for measuring corn
have been published. AS a multiplicity
of rules tend to confuse, the question
arises, why cannot we have one good
rule? The reason is obvious. New
corn will not measure as many bushels
to the foot or inches as old corn, on ac-
count of shrinkage. A crib of. corn
measured In the fall will net yield as
many bushels to the cubic foot as when
measured In the spring or summer
Corn In wagon, when first put in, will
not measure as much to the foot as
when hauled several miles. Hence the
necessity of working by different rules
under different circumstances. All
rules are based upon the number of
cubic inches in bushel of shelled corn
which is 3150.4. If all corn shelled out
the same, under all circumstances, it
would be very easy to have one rule.
AS near right as any rule have tried is
twelve cubic feet to the barrel for corn in
crib in the fall of the year, eleven and a
half feet in the spring time and about II
feet in summer; 12 feet as thrown in
wagon in the field and eleven and
quarter hauled four or five miles.

Proportion of Cream to Milk.

The first fifth portion of milk from
the COW contains about one-twentieth
part of cream; the second fifth, one
twelfth the last fifth, one sixth. How
important then to be careful to get the
last and richest drop, even if it were
not true that cows are quickly dried up
by a slovenly practice of leaving q small
portion in the udder. Cows will contin-
ue TO give a flow of milk at a much
longer period when milked dry. Farm
ers, it will be seen, receive a double ben
eft by such a course. First, there is
more cream in the milk, and second,
the flow will continue much longer;
two requisites in all dairy countries.
GB To clean a mica in your stove take
a little vinegar and water and wash the
mica carefully with a soft cloth ; the acid
removes all stains, and if little pains
is taken TO clean the corners and to wipe
them dry the mica will look as good as
new. If the stove is very hot tie the
cloth to a stick and so escape the danger
of burning your hand.
CE Dust is more injurious to plants
than many suppose. Those who grow
plants in their houses should with a
sponge wipe off the leaves of all smooth
leaved plants. Others should be set in
tub or in sink, and watered with
fine rose watering pot. When dusting
rooms in which flowers are kept cover
the plants with paper.

"Boot stretcher to the royal family"
is decidedly rare title, yet there still
lives at Baden an old man who for many

A close observer claims to have dis
proved the story about an owl wringing
its head off by looking at a man who
was walking around il. He writes that
he placed an owl on a post, and began
to walk rapidly around it. The large
round eyes followed him through three
circles, and he began to wonder why
the head didn't drop of, when he dis
covered that the neck had hy-back
motion which, when the head had been
turned half way round, whisked it back
through the circle, and brought the
gaze again on him with such precision
and so quickly that the movement had
three times escaped his notice.
A wild goose joined the flock of
farmer of London, Canada, but only ap-
peared at meal times. After satisfying
its appetite it was noticed to pick up an
ear of corn and fly away. After circling
about it dropped apparently into t'C
river. II was discovered that il c;.r-
ried the corn TO a sick and disabl d
companion that could neither walk r)r
fly. Finally the visits ceased, but shortly
afterward the sick gander wandered
into the camp and gobbled up the corn
itself. He remained all winter, and the
indications are that he has made up hi 4
mind to settle down and go to houst
keeping.l

The Leslie Assignment.

The final proceeding in the matter of
the Frank Leslie assignment was taken
yesterday. An order was entered ac-
quitting Mr.. Isaac W. England, the
assignee, from all further obligations to
the trust, and discharging and releasing
the bondsmen who had become his
sureties in the sum of 100000, and
canceling their bond.
The case has been a remarkable one,
and probably stands unparalleled in the
judicial history of this State. 1t is
peculiar in that it probably is the only
instance on record where an assigned
estate, instead of being sold in accord
ance with the provisions of the assign
ment, has been carried on by the assignee
in the interest of the creditors for a
period of nearly four years. The ex-
pertinent was a hazardous one, but in
this case it seems to have been attended
with the best results.
The estate at the time it came into the
possession of the assignee was inven-
toried at $4,000, and was incumbered
by debts amounting to about $400, 1000.
In less than four years the assignee has
compromised with and obtained releases
from all the creditors, and has turned
over to the executrix of Mr.. Frank
Leslie, who had meantime died, an
estate worth certainly not less than half
million of dollars.
Though several millions of dollars
passed through Mr.. England's hands
during his assigneeship, his accounts
were passed without the challenge Of a
dollar.
In these days when so much has to be
published about delinquent trustees and
estates absorbed in the process of ad-
ministration, it is gratifying to find so
conspicuous an illustration of a trust
faithfully and wisely administered

A Beautiful Home,

It is an excellent thing to have we'll
kept house, and beautifully appointed
table, but after all the best cheer of
every home must come from the heart
and manner of the home mother. If
that is cold, and this ungracious, all
the wealth of India cannot make the
home pleasant and inviting. Intelli-
gence, too, must lend its charm, if we
would have home and Eden. The Sc
we're style of house order neatness sell
dom leaves much margin for intellectual
culture. Even general reading is con-
sidered as out of the question for wo-
man so hurried and so worried with her
scrubbing and polishing, and making up
garments. A simpler style of living and
house furnishing would set many a
bonded slave at liberty, and add vastly
to the comfort of all in the house.
Hospitality rarely prevails in these
spotless line and letter houses. Com
pany disarrange the books and disorder
the house, which had work enough in
it before. The mother cannot throw
off her household cares, and sit down
for real heart to heart converse with
the old friend of her childhood.
0Jlll less can SUE euJer INTO inc Joys
and pleasures right and delightful to
her own children, because of the extra
work of clearing away it will be likely
to make.
With all your tolls to make a house
beautiful, do not neglect the first ele-
ment of all, to beautify yourself, body
and soul. A sweet loving word, and a
warm clasp of the hand, are far more
to a guest than the most elaborately
embroidered lambrequins at your win
dows or the most exquisite damask on
your table. There are bare cabin homes
that have been remembered with
pleasure, because of the beautiful low
ing presence there; and stately palaces
which leave the impression of an ice
berg on the mind.

The Absent One.

The summer sun is shining bright, -
Balmy and sweet the breezes blow,
FAIR Nature clothed in robes of light
Would fain her joy on me bestow;
But ali in vain the sun doth shine,
Chaimless the breeze, the bird the flower
For sho who made them all divine
Has gone, and they have lost their power,
Alas without her brilliant smile
Tho sheen of morn is midnight gloom.
Earth can no more my soul beguile,
My life is but living tomb;
Without her voice, the melody
Combined Of all harmonious things,
Is only dissonance to me,
The sound of harps with broken strings.
Her eye is like the radiant star
That ushers in the dawn of day,
Through dangers night when sorrows mar,
A sloopless watch it keeps Away,
Till peace and safety come again
Without its beams 1 dwell alone,
Forlorn among the sons of men,
Mypleasure, hope and mission gone.
Come back my beauteous angel, come
And never more from me depart:
Oh, seek thy final rest and home
Within my loving arms and heart
Together we will roam around,
And in the scenes before us find
The glories of each sight and sound
Reflected from each others mind

FOR THE LADIES.
The Prettiest Bride in England.

Frances Evelyn Maynard, the young
heiress who has Just been married to Lord
Brooke, eldest son of the Earl of Warwick
is one of the most beautiful women
in England, and as generous as she is
beautiful. The wedding was the grand
est that London has seen for many
seasons, and was honored by the pres
ence of the Prince and Princess of
Wales, and several other members of
the royal family, Prince Leopold acting
as best man. The brides dress was an
improvement on the usual livery white
satin and orange blossoms, the front
being covered with old point and droop-
ing fringes of orange blossoms. The
veil was also of old point. Her only
jewels consisted of q single row of ex-
quisite pearls. The bridemaids were
twelve in number. Their Gainsborough
dresses were of white moire, the India
muslin fichus being fastened on the
bosom with large punches of Marshal
Mel roses, the bouquets also consisting
of the same flowers. The Gainsbor-
ough hats were made of similar material
to that in the fchus. The favors were
particularly pretty, consisting of daisies,
orange blossoms and maidenhair. The
brides travelling dress was of velvet, of
perfect shade of brown, the bonnet
and cape being of the same tint in bro
caded gauze. The queens present was
cashmere shawl. The Prince and
Princess of Wales gave gold bracelet
with clasp of magnificent sapphires
and diamonds. 1t was purchased at St.
Petersburp There were several hun-
dred presents, including some splendid
jewelry and valuable plate. Lady
Brooke's pet name is Daisy" and her
husband gave her wedding present of
diamond collar with pendant daisies.
