Practical knowledge.

The world little imagines how largely
it is indebted to the laborlous researches
of scientific medical men for many OF
the most important truths relative to
human health, happiness and life. AS
population increases, and the value of
food is enhanced, the knowledge which
chemistry has elected is becoming more
and more valuable In practical point
of view.
Some kinds of food are more nutri-
tious than others, and if it should be
found that articles which are cheapest
have most nutriment and give the high
est ability to labor, then knowledge be-
comes money to the poor. Tables vary,
but some Of the general results are as
follows: One pound of rice, prepared
for the table, gives IS per cent. OF nu-
triment, and, consequently, relatively
proportional ability to labor, compared
with other articles Of food. a pound OF
beef, costing Is cents, gives only 26 per
cent. of nutriment. According to these
estimates. therefore, rice, as an article OF
food, is 100 per cent. cheaper,
100 per cent. more valuable to
the common laborer tnan roast
beef, yet countless numbers of the poor
in the large cities strain point daily
to purchase beef at Is cents q pound,
when they could get o pound of rice for
one-third of the amount, the rice, too,
having three times as much nutriment
as the beef, making practical differ
ence Of 900 per cent, aside from the
fact that boiled rice is three times easier
Of digestion than roast beef, the rice be-
ing digested in about one hour, roast
beef requiring three hours and a half.
There is meaning, then, in the reputed
fact that two-ffths Of the human family
live on rice. We compile, therefore,
the following tables for preservation, as
being practically and permanently use
Jul. All the economist requires is to
compare the price Of a pound of food
with the amount of nutrilnent which it

How Old lack Taylor Became President,

In discussing Presidential matters
with some old-timers, the following.
hitherto unpublished historical fact We.
uncovered:
John J. Crittenden, q bosom friend Of
Henry Clay's, became satisfied in 1876.
that Clay could never be President.
Crittenden had the reputation of being
lie second Clay, but lacked the ambi-
ton. When Taylor began to achieve
glory with the volunteers in Mexico,
Crittenden got his son Tom appointed
on Taylor's staff, and instructed him to
push Taylor's popularity with the vol
unteers, which the young man did with
eminent success. It is a matter of his
tory that Tom Crittenden, not Taylor,
sent the message to Santa Anna just be-
fore the battle of Buena Vista, "Gen.
Taylor never surrenders - and Tom
Crittenden was also the author of the
saying, GA little more grape, Capt.
Bragg" In 1S47 Crittenden enlisted
Abraham Lincoln in revolt against
Clay, and caucus Of old Wings to that
end was held in Springfield at the resi-
dence of Ninian Edwards. Among
others present were Anthony Thornton,
Charlie Constable, James w. Singleton
and Lincoln. The detection inaugurated
at that time and place spread rapidly
through the country. Clay was beaten,
Taylor was nominated and elected.
Tom Crittenden was, made Consul to

Purchasable Health.

A writer in Scri6ner's Monthly, under
the caption of Prchasable Health, !"
offers some timely observations which
overworked business men would do we'll
to heed. "Money," be says, twill not
purchase health out of season, but
health is to be had for money under
proper conditions" There are thou
sands Of men in every large city who
are bankrupting themselves in health.
"Col. Scott carried his burden so long
that the 100000 he had won had no
power to bring back the health he had
parted with but there were undoubt-
eddy times in his life when, by the
proper expenditure Of money and Of
time, he could have brought health
enough to last him brace of decades
longer, and to enable him to double the
number of millions for his heirs. !"
Money can buy health in two ways. 1t
may enable the possessor OF it to set
aside part Of each day for recreation,
OF it may Justify him In giving up two
months of every year to solid rest.
The same writer shrewdly observes:
"There is hallucination, cherished
by great multitude, that they must be
constantly in their own business, or it
cannot possibly go on prosperously.
Some of these men are so unfortunately
organized that they cannot believe that
anybody living can do their work as
well as they can do it. It takes an enor-
nous self-conceit to come to such a
conclusion as this, and there is great
misfortune in it. Of course, these men
are never able to leave their work for a
moment in other hands, and so they be-
come the bond slaves of their own mis-
take. Now, there is nothing in which a
great business man shows his greatness
so signally as in his ability to find men
to do his work-to find competent in
struments to execute his purposes. The
greatest business man is always man
of comparative leisure. His own work
is always deliberately done. It is, as a
rule, the small man who never gets o
moment, and who meyer can find pair
of hands as good as His own. If man
cannot leave his business, or thinks he
cannot, he shows that he lacks the high
est grade of business capacity"

"The Way Of Serpent on a Reek."

1.-The way OF serpent on K0eK.
The movement of snake in climbing
a perpendicular surface, as I have OBJ
served it, is vermicular, undulating
motion, not spiral but straight up the
face of the surface. I have seen black
snake thus glide up beech tree with
that easy, careless grace of movement
which is characteristic of that snake
when moving over horizontal surfaces.
The bark of the beech affords few inc
qualities into which the edges of the
gastroslegal bands could be thrust claw
fashion, and I have no doubt that at
mospheric pressure is the force that
holds the snake against such surfaces in
climbing, sucker fashion, as the boy lifts
the brick with the piece Of wet leather.
I once knew black snake to ascend q
stucco wall to the second-story window,
and another I saw go up to the caves Of
a carriage house to the swallows nest !;
straight up the up-and-down boards. I
have seen them glide from tree to tree
and leap down from near the top of large
trees, but never saw one descend by
climbing down smooth, perpendicular
surface. have no doubt of their abili-
ty to do so, however. I do not believe
that this power is enjoyed by the cop
perhead or rattlesnake, or any venomous
sort with which am familiar, they be-
ing heavy and sluggish in their move
ments. I have seen them go up on
leaning trees and crawl into the foliage
of bushes, however. = Forest and

USEFUL HINTS.
REMOVE grease from wall pape

REMOVE grease from wall paper,
lay several folds of blotting paper on
the spot and hold hot iron near it un-
til the grease is absorbed.
To GELD leather dust over the surface
finely powdered resin, then lay on the
leaf and apply, hot, the letters or i'm
pressions you wish to transfer lastly,
dust off the loose metal with cloth or
brush.
A SIMPLE remedy for removing freck-
les is pint of sour milk and small
quantity of horse-radish. Let the MKT
IRE stand over night, and use it as "a
wash three times day until the freckles
disappear.
BEEswAx and salt will make fatirons
as clean and smooth as glass. Tie
lump of wax in a rag and keep it hot for
that purpose. When the irons are hot,
rub them with the wax rag, then scour
with paper or rag sprinkled with salt.
BOILING water will remove tea stains
and many fruit stains pour the water
through the stain, and thus prevent it
from spreading over the fabric, while
soaking in milk before washing will
always remove ink-stains from any
fabric.
ALL sorts Of vessels and utensils may
be purified from long-retained smells of
every kind, in the easiest and most per
feet manner, by rinsing them out we'll
with charcoal powder, after the grosser
impurities have been secured off with
sand potash.
To MAKE rosewater Dissolve ottar OF
roses, six brahms avoirdupois, in strong
est rectifed spirit (hot), one imperial
pint, Throw the solution into twelve
gallon carboy, and add ten gallons pure
distilled water at $50 deg. Fahrenheit.
st once cork the carboy Cat first loosely
and agitate the whole briskly Cat first
cautiously until quite cold.
TABLE-CLoTHs. -Table-cl cloths of black
cashmere, with a broad border Of pale
blue velvet, edged with broad gold braid
at each edge, are very ornamental.
Dregs of wine, with black or cream-col-
ored border, worked with black and
California gold silk is also handsome.
One can vary the colors tosuit the fancy,
only do not use too gaudy colors as the
effect Will be injured.
FISH SCALE JEwELRY. - The best
scales for this work are taken from
sheephead and the red fish. Wash well
in cold water to which has been added a
little ammonia. Cut pattern of leaf,
put it on the scale and cut it out. After
you have enough scales cut this way,
pierce two holes in each leaf, one in the
center, the other where the stem should
be. Put bit of fine silver wire through
the holes, and twist the ends together
for about half an inch, then place an
other leaf on one end Of the same wire,
and twist the wire as before, then put
another on the opposite wire. You can
form fan leaves the same way. The
flowers are formed in almost the same
way, except you place small pearl bead
in the center Of each. Tendrils can be
made by coiling the wire around num-
Der six needle. Those intended for a
pin should be bound to small safety
pin or cuff pin, and the earrings are
fastened to gold wire which is bent into
the proper form,

The friend congratulated him on having
gained the proud position of partner in
one Of the largest houses in Milwaukee,
which was making money hand over fist,
when John broke in by saying "No, l

How Daniel Webster Proposed.

In old times it was the fashion for a
sutton to go down on his knees to lady
VIXEN he asked her to become his wife,
which, with very stout gentlemen, was
an uncomfortable proceeding. The way
in which Daniel Webster proposed to
Miss Fletcher was more modern, being
at the same time neat and poetic. Like
many another lover, he was once hold
ing a skein of thread or wool which the
lady had been unraveling. "Gracie,"
said he, eve have been untying knots !;
let us see If we cannot tie one which
will not unite in a lifetime" With a
piece of tape he fastened the half of a
true lovers knot; Miss Fletcher per-
fected it, and kiss put the seal to the
symboEcal bargain.

.TILL DEATH US PART.
a Poem by Dean stanley.

It'll death us part"
So speaks the heart,
When each to each repeats the words Of DOOM
Through blessing and through curse,
For better and for worse,
We will be one till that dread hour shall come.
Life, with its myriad grasp,
Our yearning souls shall clasp,
BY ceaseiess love, and still-expectant wonder;
In bonds that shall endure,
Indissolubly sure.
Till God in death shall part our paths asunder.
Till death us join,
O, voice yet more divine!
That to the broken heart bleathes hope sublime;
Through lonely hours
And shattered powers
We still are one, despite OF change and time
Death, with his healing hand,
Shall once more knit the band
Which needs but that one link which none may
sever;
TIL, through the Only Good
Heard, felt and understood,
Our life il God shall make US one forever.

''SPUN butter is the same as "roast
butter" and this was once delicate test
of housewifery. A spit was thrust
through a pound of firm butter, and,
after being very thickly basted with
-four, it was set before the fire. In the
days of turnspits and smokejacks it was
easy to turn this steadily and constantly.
The problem was for the housekeeper to
do this after these contrivances passed
away. The butter was basted constant
ly, and the heat drew the butter out into
the -four. AS soon as one basic was
Drowned lightly, another was thrownon.
When finished, you had an excellent
roll Of puff paste five times the original
pound of butter, and when perfectly
cooked there was hollow at the heart,
exactly the size of the original pound.
When served, this hollow could be filled
with jelly or preserves.
