7RICHINOSTS.

According to a recent report of the SAM
tary Committee of Massachusetts, it appears
that Of 2,70l pigs examined during five
months no less than 1874, or nearly 6 per
cent, contained trichin@. The animals
came from different and distant regions, but
the majority were from the western states.
The same report affirms that rats are affected
with trichlnosis at Boston to much larger
extent than in Germany. OF fifty-one rats
caught in Boston slaughter house thirty
presented trichin@. On the other hand,
twenty eight fowls fed in the establishment
we're found to be healthy. Forty rats taken
in another slaughter house all contained
trichinn, but of sixty found In different
stables only six were thus affected.
In France little consideration has, until
lately, been given to the danger of trichinm
in imported pork. At Lyons, however, in.
spection has been commenced, and has
quickly borne fruit. An enormous consigD
ment of lard. amounting, it is said, 10 120
tons, was lately received at Lyons from New
York OF fifty specimens examined immedi.
ately after arrived three were found to be in
tested with trichiniae. At B lrcelona six
cases of death from triohinosis have occurred

THAT HlLOON

Keep out of the saloon, boys. 1t is
bad place for you. Some things are
seen, while others are unseen. Lager
beer, cider, cigars: soda fountain, too,
candies, fruits and nuts are seen.
These are on exhibition where the
windows are clear, and somebody pol
ishes up the handles to that big front
door. There Is another room where
illustrated papers are provided for
reading, and games of chance are played
for checks, redeemable at the coun ter
in the outer room.
This may be all you may see il you
60 in there many times; but, by and by,
you will see grinning, dull-eyed crea-
ture staring at you from the mirror on
the wall. He will probably make his
appearance while you are waiting for
more beer, or for q glass of stronger
liquor, and youwill never dream that
it isa reflection of yourself. But there
is more and worse than this in that
saloon. There is disgrace and poverty,
and death, sold over the counter and
paid often In money which should buy
bread for starving ones. Yet this is an
elegant saloon; clean and well ordered.
Boys will go in there who would not
think of going down filthy stairs into
common drinking cellar. But thou
sands and thousands who have taken
their first glass In such saloon have
finished their career in the lowest grog-
geries.
Don't do as they have done. Don't
barter your happy thoughts and bright
hopes for beer or any other intoxicat-
ing drink. Don't shorten your life by
one half, and make the other half con-
temptible. Live at your best. Live
as God would have you live. If you
begin to use intoxicating drinks, no
matter how small the quantity. you can
not tell where you will stop.
In one of our states prisons is man
serving out a life sentence for the MUIR
der Of friend. He commenced drink
ing when he was boy, but he drank
so little that he never thought of dan
ger. When a young man, on one occa-
sion, he drank more than usual, and his
brain was on fire.
A word angered him and a blow
was struck by him which made him a
murderer. When he paid for the ex-
ira liquor which he drank he paid for
the numbering disposition. 1t was one
OF the things not seen.
As you value your lives and your
freedom, boys, keep out Of that saloon!

To save your linen and your labor, pour
on half pound of soda two quarts of boiling
water, in an earthenware pan. Take half
pound of soap, shred fine. Put it into
saucepan with two quarts Of cold water.
Stand il on FIRE till it boils, and when per-
fectly dissolved and boiling, add it to the
former. Mix it well and let it stand till cold.

the seams and any other soiled part rubbed
in the usual way, aud remain till the follow
ing morning. Get your copper ready, and
add to the water about q pint-basin full
when lukeearH put in your linen, and allow
it to boil for twenty minutes Rinse it in the
usual way, aad that is all which is necessary
to get it clean, and TO keep it in good color.
The above receipt is invaluable to house
keepers. If you have not tried it, do SO
without delay.
When water is hard, and will not readily
unite with soap, it will always be proper to
boil it before use. which will be found suffi-
GENTLY efhcacious, If the hardness depends
solely upon the impregnatioa of lime Even
exposure to the atmosphere will produce
this effect in great degree upon spring wa
ter so impregnated, leaving it much filter for
lsvatory purposes. In both cases the water
ought to be carefully poured of from the
sediment, as the neutralized lime, when freed
from its extra quantity of carbonic acid, falls
to the bottom by IFS own gravity. To econ
omise the use of soap put any quantity of
pearlash into large jar, covered from the
dust; in a few days the alkali will become
liquid, which must be diluted in double its
quantity Of soft water, with an equal GUAM
,ity of new Stacked lime. Boil ii half an
hour, frequently stirring it. adding as much
more hot water. and drawing off the liquor,

Soap and labor may be saved By dissolv-
ing alum and chalk in bran water, in which
the linen ought to be boiled, then we'll rinsed
out. and exposed to the usual process of
bleaching.
Soap may be dispensed with, or nearly so,
in the getting up of muslins and chinizes,
which should always be treated as agreeably
to the Oriental manner; that is, to wash
them In plain water, and then boil them in
congee, or rice water, after which they ought
not to be submitted to the operation of the
smoothing iron, but rubbed smooth with q
polished stone.
The economy which must result from these
processes renders their consideration import
ant to every family, in addition to which we
must state that the improvements in philoso-
ply extend to the laundry as well as to the
wash-house.

TREE CULTURE ON WASTE
LAND.

Hitherto the abundance of natural
timber in this country has made it EASY
to dispense with timber culture, and
for the most part our land owners
have taken little interest in such slow
growing crops. This state Of things,
however, is rapidly passing away,
The demand for special woods for
manufacturing purposes is steadily in
creasing, while the natural supply is
diminishing and must ultimately be-
come quite inadequate. Meantime
there are millions of acres ofland suit
able for timber culture and for nothing
else, except poor pasturage, that our
land owners are allowing to lie waste
and idle for lack of little forethought,
and too frequently our would-be thrifty
farmers will risk their surplus means
In wildcat speculations. promising but
never yielding large and speedy re-
turns. when the same money spent in
planting timber would soon convert
their worthless swamps and stony
places into valuable properties.

No particulars are given as to the

little doubt, however, that the invest

the return, and the land would other

crop was so much clear gain. 1t is
clear that our national resources might
be enormously increased by a similar
utilization by timber culture of lands
