= Abiding to the effect of sun and
light upon the grape, NJ. p. Duchartre,
in recent report to the National AgrI-
cultural Society of France, mentions the
fact that in Burgundy two consecutive
years having been, the one bright and
the other almost constantly cloudy, the
grapes of the first ear ripened and gave
an excellent wine. while that of the
second was of an inferior character. 1t
is true, at the same time, that heat alone
will not ripen the grape. Thus. M.
Renon, Director of the Meteorological
Observatory at st. Maur, states that in
the court of the palace of the Governor
of Algiers, an enormous trellis work of
vines exists, the plants being cultivated
solely for the thick shade they afford.
On account of this shade, however. the
grapes never ripen, and this notwith-
standing they are submitted to all the
heat of an African summer.

How to Loosen a Tight Screw.

One Of the simplest and readiest
methods of loosening rusted screw is
to apply heat to the head of the screw.
A small bar OF rod of iron, fiat at the
end, if redeemed in the fire and applied
for couple or three minutes to ths
head of the rusty screw, render its
withdrawal as easy by the screwdriyer
as if it was only recently inserted
screw. As there is kitchen poker in
every house, that instrument, if heated
at its extremity and applied for a few
minutes to the head of the screw or
screws, will do the work of loosening,
and an ordinary screwdriver will do the
rest, without causing the least damage,
trouble or vexation of spirit. In all
work above the common kind, where it
is necessary to use screws. and particu-
larly in hinge work and mountings, fam
cy fastenings and appliances affixed to
jOlnery or furniture work, we would
advise the oiling of screws or the dip
ping thier points in grease before driv-
ing them. This will render them more
easy to drive and also to withdraw, and
it will undoubtedly retard for longer
time the action of rusting. Gotten

God Bless Our Absent Boys.

Oh, Jamie, where are the boys to night,
The laddieS so blithe and gay?
The shadows are closing about us now,
Oh, why do they stay away?
The house is SO lonely my heart grows
chill.
Bereft of its fireside joys;
And find myself praying, as oft l have
prayed,
God bless our absent bows"
l used to think that the restless feet
We're never one moment still,
That, like the birds and the butterflies,
They roamed of their own brave will;
And l joyed that each eve all sounds of
mirth
Were hushed in the household nest;
And happy was l that one day in seven
The boys and the toys could rest.
But ere I dreamed it the boys were gone,
And the lads were bearded men,
And not all the wealth of a thousand
worlds
Can bring me my boys again.
They have gone to the East, they have
gone to the West,
In homes of their own to dwell,
Will the new love prove like the mother
love?
All, Jamie. who can tell?
In the far-away homes they will sing the
songs
Their mother used to sing?
To the prayers once whispered by infant
lips
With the heart of manhood cling?
VIII the morn, the noon and the twilight
hour
With remembered love be sweet?
Will the homeSick lads our parting words,
God bless you" oft repeat?
All, Jamie, say not Il have lost my bOysr'
Nay, nay. they are mine Tor aye;
And still, in their prattling childhood
tones,
"Our Father" hear them prayi
So We'll keep the fireside altar bright
With memOry's tender joys.
Till love brings back to the dear old home
Our precious absent boys.

An Eastern farmer enumerateS the
following uses for sulphur i'll agricultu-
raj operations: A good way to destroy
witch grass and prairie grass is to plow
and rake up in piles, and burn when
dry. Sow about quart of sulphur to
an acre of nj, mixing the sulphur with
the grain. Plow prairie grass with steel
points. for the roots are tough. 1t is
cool plan to SOW IA quart of sulphur to
AN acre on sorrel. Take two parts sui
phur to one of tobacco. and ons-six-
teenth parts blue vitriol, and mix; grind
the tobacco fine Put tablespoonful to
hill of vines of all kinds, as it will de-
stroy bugs. Putting sulphur on the
ground where you plant vines will kill
blue worm that works at the root.
sulphur is good to put on animals to kill
lice. sulphur is good for garden vege-

AN exchange thus tells how to tan
sheep-skins: For mats, take two long
wooled Skips; make a strong suds. using
hot water; when it is cold, wash the
skins in it; carefully squeezing them
between the bands to get the dirt out of
the wool; then wash soap out with clean
cold water. Now dissolve alum and
salt, each half a pound, with 4 little hot
water which put in IA tub of cold water
sufficient to cover the skins, and let
them soak in it for twelve hours: then
hang over pail to drain; when they
are well drained, spread or stretch care
fully over board to dry; when a little
damp. have one ounce each of saltpeter
and alum, pulverized, and sprinkle the
flesh side of each skin, rubbing in well;
then lay the flesh sides together and
hang in the shade for two or three days,
turning the under skin uppermOst every
day until perfectly dry; then scrape the
flesh side with blunt knife, to remove
scraps of flesh; trim off any
projecting points; rub the flesh side with
pumice or rotten stone and with the
hands They will be very white and
beautiful, suitable for door and car
riage mat; they also make good mittens.
Lamb skins-or even sheep skins, if the
wool be trimmed off evenly to a half or
of inch long-make most
beautiful and warm mittens for ladies
and gentlemen. Furs may be taken from
October to April l. They are not good
for furs the rest of the season, as the
iair comes out.

The Beginning OF the Celebrated Case
at Lafayette Favors the De-
PENDANT, Her Enemy.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, January lS.-
Before o o'clock this morning the cir
cult court room was thronged with
lawyers and citizens, all on the n
ious bench and desirous to be in at
the opening of the Cougar Andler
Casa euit that has attracted more
attention locally and abroad than any
action ever brought in the history of
Lafayette. The defense opened
with a broadside affidavit alleging
a belief that Judge Vinton was
biased, and asking the appointment Of
another Judge, Plaintiff alleged the
ineuficiency of the ground for a
change Of judges, and asked that the
afi lavit bs put out of court. The
lawyers spared back and forth, when
iually Judge Vinton overruled the
motion to strike out the affidavit, and
granted Nandley's prayer for a change
in Judge. The plaintiff then asked
that a portion f the defendants Aft
davit be stricken ont, alleging that 1t
was irrelevant. The defense raised
the point that judge Vinton, being
set aside by their affidavit, could take
no further judicial action other thar
to call O SUCCESSOR.
1t was proposed by the court to cal
Judge LsRue, of the superior court, tC
try the case, but tho defense an
nounced that LaRue was one of theil
witnesses. Judge Vinton suggested
that the attorneys agree upon a judge
and he would call him. The defens,
said they would not likely be able t
agree at all, aud therefore no confer
ence was had.
