clean cotton batting. This must be done
several times, each time soaking the
milk up with fresh batting and using
fresh milk. When the milk is removed
wash the spot with clean soap suds and
wipe up dry with a clean cloth. Ifthe ink

CLEANLINESS or SINKs.-One of the

every obstruction. A remedy may be
found in the use of the common alsalies

These alkalies prevent solid soap from

A POlyglOt Family.

There is living at Mtddletown family in
which nine distinct languages are spoken,
namely: English, German, French, Span
ish. Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Arabic and
Turkish, besides any number of dialects
connected mostly with Italian and Spanish.
The head of the family who is native of
Zurich, Switzerland, is a musician of wide
accomplishments and reputation, who from
love of travel, has seen most PARTS OF the
world, having resided for considerable PEI
RODS III widely separated countries. After
extended travel he settled 10 Tunls, North
Africa, where he held the position of musl-
cal director for the hey, having charge Of
his orchestra. He married there a lady who
was native of ATabia, bat born of Italian
and English parents. Children were born
to them there. Leaving the country on ac-
count of an epidemic. they settled at Con-
stantinople, and resided some years at the
Turkish capital. There he was the sui
tan's chief musician, not only having the
charge of the bands Of all his regiment at
the capital, but also of the music
Of the sultan's harem. Other chill
dren were born to them at Constantinople.
He left the Turkish capital to come to
America. dwelling year in Germany, and
travelling in Italy before coming here. For

continued his profession. leading orches

referred to is Mr. Frank Merger, who, Wiz

A Chean $40.

The Nashua Telegraph says Last year
farmer improvised a small silo by
sinking molasses hogshead into the
ground in his barn cellar He cut up all
his corn fodder with hay-cutter, sup
posing he had enough to fill about four
hogsheads, but on packing it found it
wouldn't fill one. He then bought of
a neighbor as much more as one horse
could draw, and still there WAS room.
He then cut up the stalks from piece
of sweet corn, and with lot of rowen
managed to fill his hogshead He made
close-htting cover, and with jack
screw set under one of the floor tim
bers pressed it down as tight as possible.
In the middle of December he opened his
silo, and found the corn as sweet and fra
gran. as when put in. From the hogs
head he fed one COW half a bushel of en-
silage morning and night for two months,
and considers it the best producing food
that can be fed. This year he proposes
to fill the hogshead with oats cut just as
they are in the milk. If a silo on SO
simple a plan is practicable, there Is
certainly no reason why everybody
should not have re, and satisfy HIM
self of the value of the ensilage system.
Rural readers OF small means may try
such a silo as this without mourning
much risk of loss. If they are satisfied
with the results, more pretentious eilo
may be constructed another year. A
large packing box would answer better
than hogshead.

Production of Mosaic Gold IN
Germany.

The mosaic gold obtained by what is
known as the "dry process, is one of
the most beautiful substances employed
ia art manufactures, aud, though usually
regarded as a difficult method of pro-
duction, has been greatly simplifed by
the German manufacturers. The great
point observed by the latter, in the pre-
narration of this color, is not to exceed
certain temperature, as otherwise great
proportion of the compound sulnhuret
of tin would be again discomposed, by
giving out sulphur into simple sulphur
ct of tin. To prevent the temperatures
rising above certain degree sal ammon-
lac is used which body Is evaporated at
a specific temperatures heat which
Is afterward used for the purpose OF
eyaporating the salts. A little care is
found to be necessary to interrupt the
heating before all the sal ammoniac Is
yolatilized, and thus insure a beautiful
mosaic gold of really gold shining col
or. If too much heat is used, simple
sulphuret of tin 10 formed. which has q
