The Egg Plant.

The egg plant is perhaps the most thor
oughIy tropical of all garden vegetables, and
should not be put out until the soil is thor-
oughiy warmed, and cool nights are over.
In the private garden so few plants are
needed that it is hardly worth while to be
at the trouble of raising them, as they can
be purchased cheaply. They should be
given the v&rmest and richest place in the
garden; let them have. when
established, liquid manure, and keep
them growing as rapidly as possible. 1t is
well to place a mulch of some kind around
the plants, not only to keep the soil moist,
but 10 prevent the fruit from resting on the
ground There is one great draw back to the
culture of the egg plant. If there are any
Colorado potato beetles anywhere in the
vicinity. they will leave the potatoes and
come TO the egg plants, and unless one makes

Currants and Gooseberries.

The chief drawback 70 the culture of cur
rants and gooseberries is 1.-THE worm,
(mOre than one, but essentially the same in
effects aud treatment), that makes holes in
the leaves early in the season, and if not
checked will soon strip off all the foliage.
This insect is easily managed, If taken in
time. 1t is amusing to see the remedies
given in the English papers and books, even
the most recent ignoring the poison, white
hellebore, so generally used in this coun-
try. Powdered white hellebore mot
black may be had at most drug stores.
Upon tablespoonful of this pour pint or
so of boiling water, stirring the two well
together, mix this with a pailful of cold
water, and on the first appearance of holes
in the leaves apply it freely, using garden
syringe or force pump if at hand. More
than two applications will rarely be
needed. Is it dangerous? One English
work, advises the use of lime, ''as
not being dangerous like helle-
bore" While white hellebore is a powerful
medicine, we have never heard of any dan
ger from its use. and we know of its appli-
cation by the acre with those who grow
fruit for market. 1t is always applied long
before the fruit is ripe, and is completely
washed off by the rams. Should it adhere
to the fruit in any dangerous quantities, its
presence would be noticed and the berries
rejected as soiled. If used as directed, 1t is
not possible for a sufficient quantity to adj
here 10 the fruit to be eaten unnoticed, and
thus do injury. We look upon it as perfect
ly safe, or we should not advise il.

told how. They are very convenient for
sleighs, wagons, house rugs, and many other
purposes. We give the following from a re-
liable source, remsrking that il is essen
TALLY the same that we have found in use
by the trsppers and hunters in the wilder
ness" All fatty and fieshy matter should
first be removed from the skin, ana with
sheep-skins the wool should be washed
clean with soft soap and water, and the
suds be thoroughly rinsed out For
each skin take four ounces of
salt, four ounces of alum, and half an
ounce of borax; Dissolve these in quart of
hot water, and when cool enough for the
band to bear, stir in sufficient rye meal to
make thick paste. This paste is to be
spread thoroughly over every part of the
flesh side of the skin, which is then to be
folded together lengthwise, wool-side out,
and left for two weeks IN an airly place.
Then remove the paste, wash and dry the
skin. When nearly dry, it must be worked
and pulled, and scraped with blunt knife
made for that purpose, shaped like chop
ping knife, or with piece of hardwood
worked to sharp edge. The more the skin
is worked and scraped as it dries, the more
pliable it will be. Other skins can oe thus
tanned with the fur on.

To Make Grating Wax.

We have answered a number by mail, but
so many inquiries continue to come that
we repeat the recipe given in former years.
Rosin. bees wax and tallow are the es-
sentials. Some use equal parts by weight OF
these; others prefer, as warm weather APP
proaches, more rosn and less tallow. A
good recipe is: Resin, two pounds; bees
wax, one pound and a quarter; tallow,
twelve ounces. These should be
melted well together over a gentle
fire and stirred as the mixture cools.
1t is most conveniently used upon strips OF
cloth. Any old calico or muslin that will
tear readily. may be torn into strips two
inches vice, made into balls and soaked in
the melted wax, until thoroughly satur-
ated. We prefer to roll the cloth upon a
short stick to afford a handle. II paper is to
be used. the warm wax is spread with a
brush upon one side of this MANILA paper.
Some grafters prefer wax made with raw
iinseed oil, using pint of oil instead of a
pound of tallow.

Words Fifty Spoken.

John A. Woodward acted the part of
a man and patriot when he said that in
case Mr.. Hunter should be nominated
first for assembly, he would under no
circumstances accept O second nomina-
tion were it tondered him, because it
would not be good thing for the party
to have both nominees on this side.
When number of his friends assured
him that they believed his nomination
could be made after Mr.. Hunter, he
said "No, gentlemen, it must not be
done. / should positively decline such
q nomination, because it would be
bad thing for the party to have both
candidates on this side of the noun
tain" Those were the words of true
Democrat, and they do Mr.. Woodward
great credit. Immediately after Mr..
Hunters nomination, he (Woodward)
gracefully withdrew his name, and Mr..
Meyer, over the mountain, and at the
lower end of the county, was then NOM
mated. This places the candidates for
Assembly about the right distance
apart and locates them as should be-"
The above paragraph is taken from
the Watchman of last week. We are
glad to add our commentator to the
course pursued by Mr.. Woodward. 1t
was the right thing done at the right
time. 1t could not have been otherwise
for Mr.. Woodward is incapable of doing
dishonorable or unworthy act. We
sincerely hope that the good people of
Penn's aud Brush Valleys will bear in
mind the action of Mr.. Woodward, and
at the first opportunity they shall have
return with hearty unanimity the favor
by giving to man so worthy and COM
petent their united suffrage. In this
connection it is not amiss to state that
the manner in which Mr.. Woodward
was supported by his home and neighbor-
ing townships demonstrated his strength
and popularity among those who know
him best. Hehad practically the unan-
nous vote of the townships of Boggs,
Curtin, Howard, Liberty, Marion and
the borough of Howard. 1t is common
for men to receive the unanimous vote
of their own township, but it is very
uncommon for candidates to receive at
the delegate elections the entire popu-
lar vote of so many districts.

for policemen, begging piteously to be al

abusing as they were passing along in their

was considerably the worse for liquor and
she, (the wife, had been jawing him
as she said, for drinking and he struck and

his and after quite lot of parleying they
were allowed to go home to their family

EY-Gov. CURTIN AT IIome.-The return
Of our member of Congress, Hon Andrew
G. Curtin, from Washington, was looked
upon by the citizens of this place as an
event Of sufficient importance to warrant
them in turning out, irrespective of party,
and warmly welcoming him home, after
having manfully participated in the strug-
giles incident TO one of the longest and
most trying sessions of which we have
any record. The reception was the result
Of the high esteem in which he is held,
personally, and the desire entertained by
a great majority of the suffragists of his
district to manifest the satisfaction his
work has given among his constituents.
The Zion and Pleasant Gap bands came
to town, Monday evening, and after dis
coursing several selections, they, having
come from different directions, met in
front of the residence of Mr.. Curtin.
In response to an urgent call he made his
appearance and was greeted with prolonged,
yociferous cheering. His address was
characteristic of the man, breathing true
Democratic spirit, and yet as nearly with
out political reference and mention as it
we'll could be. 1t is needless to state that
it was well received the tremendous
crowd, upon its conclusion, giving vent to
their feelings, in manner calculated to
leave no doubt in the minds of any of the
love and respect borne our distinguished
townsman by his neighbors and fellow
citizens
Hon. G. It. Alexander, being present,
was called upon and responded with the
same vim and spirit that have charmed
audiences wherever he has chosen to speak.
He, too, was heartily applauded.
There is little, if any, political signif-
canoe in this popular ovation to one whom
members of both parties delight to honor,
because he has ever shown that the inter-
ests of both are matters of Importance TO
him.
