Practical Hints,

Onions and lettuce are recommended for peo-
pie who suffer from sleeplessness.
Sunburnt straw hats can be restored to their
original freshness by scrubbing them with OK
allie acid and water
The best remedy for ivy poisoning is sweet
splits of nitre. Lime water is also good. Battle
freely with either liquid.
Allowing a stream of cold water to run on the
wrist will cool the whole body in a few minutes
without the slightest danger.
Grass hammoeks may he rend cred much more
durable by inserting rope thin bles in the loops
to which the ropes are attached.
Aqua ammonia diluted, will relieve the pain
caused by insec: stings. The same solution will
remove most fruit stains from garments, and
prOfuse perspiration when used in bathing.
Bright steel tools and implements can be pro-
tected from rust by covering them with dry
lime or immersing them in lime-water. A solu-
of carbonate of soda answers the same purpose.
In the absence of ice liquids can he made cool
by taking equal parts by weight of nitrate Of
ammonia, carbonate of soda aud water, and
placing the liquid to be chilled in the vessel i'm
mersed in the solution.
An easy and effectual way to keep tinware
from rusting, consists in rubbing the new vessel
inside and out with fresh lard or butter, then
placing in the oven and keeping hot several
hours. The heat must not be so great as to melt
the solder; STILL it is essential that the tin he
kept very warm.
Before dipping new pen into ink, thrust it in
to a fresh-cut potato, and the ink will never
cling. When the pen is thickly gummed with
dried ink, few thrusts will. clean it perfectly.
when not in use, some accountants leave their
pens sticking in potato kept on the desk for
the purpose.
A piano maker gives the following directions
for removing tingermarks from, and restoring
lustre to highly-pOlished but much-defaced fur
nifurp Wash IF the fnUar M ark Wit atnt h
or, better, n chamois skin-wet with cold water.
then rub the surface with nice sweet oil mixed
with half its quantity of turpentine. 4 liberal
rubbing Of this mixture will reward your labors.

Napoleon Us Daughter.

4 few days ago, the German newspapers of
Cologne spread the report that daughter of
Napoleon |. had died there, in the most wretch
ed circumstances. The only fact actually known,
is that some days ago, in Lindenthall, close by
Cologne, an aged unmarried woman died, and
was buried at the expense of the parish. This
woman. Falkenberg by name, during her life
betrayed an almost childish yeneration for the
great Corscan. and her poor room was adorned
with numerous pictnres of the Bonaparte fsmi-
ly. When disease seized her and she saw her
death at hand, she babe the woman who waited
upon her to unlock desk and take ont a bun
die of letters and burn them before her eyes.
At last, in the lelirium of death. she is said to
have declared herself TO he a daughter of Ma
poleon. This is at present all that can be posi-
lively said of the mystery which surrounded
this person, although the Muelheimer Folks
-eitHHg claims to know, from trustworthy sopr-
ceS that Miss Falkenberg was the very child
that came into the world Mt the archbshop's
palace in Cologne, in the year 1911, As the
daughter of noble maiden who had sustained
intimate relations to NapoleOn-the child who
at her baptism received the name of Countess
Won Falkenberg, and for whom Frederick Viii
liam III. was sponsor. The child was brought
mp mt Napoleon's expense, at Montioie, and then
sent to an Italian convent, from which, having
arrived at young womanhOod, she was released
between the years ls:s0 and lao. The property
inherited by the young Countess was soon dssi-
pated, partly by luxury and partly by benevO-
lence; and ~ il came about that she came in
poverty TO Cologne at the beginning of the year
lsJ1 in order, with the aid of prominent citi-
zens. to petition Napoleon Ill. for further
support. When every effort in that direction
had failed. she was compelled 10 earn her living
with her own hands, and under the name of
Falkenherg she led the wretched life of a soli-
taTy Seamstress until last week death released
her from it. Such is the story of the Muel-
heimer IOlks;eiiHRg, which is ready to voneh
for its truth. According 10 n Cologne dispatch
in the Berlin TdgebiaH, the dead woman re-
ceived, TO the end of her life, monthly pension
of thirty marks, from an ilnstrious family liv-
ing on the Rhine, which derived its origin IN
an intimacy between Jerome Napoleon, King of
WestPhalia, and the self-same lady who at Co.
lOgne in the year ISL brought the deceased
Falkenherr info the world.-JieSRa Nemc Erie

Who Inherits the Farm?

II. A. Hagb, an authority on farm law, gives
valuable information in the american .IgTicHltHr-

Questions may arise in the farmers mind as to
whether he ought TO make a will. Ii he does
not want his property to 90 TO person or persons,
who by law are his heirs, or If he wishes to give
some of il to any person who is not his heir. or
if he wishes to give same of il TO any charitable
object, or devote il To any other purposes, he has
full power TO do with it Just as he pieases. aud
this he must do by will lie can give away ev-
eTything he has except the widows dover. and.

nor children. If he wishes TO disnherit any of
his heirs, he shonld do 80 by express words for IL

some of the States presume that the omission
was by mistake, and snch person will take his
inheritance as heir. lie should he "cut off with
a shilling" in order Ia he effectually disposed

Iuont will, or altered by codicil, or rendered

Handling Bees.

In order Ia handle bees safely, il is only
necessary TO smoke them a little, give
them time to fill themselves with honey, and
then open the hive carefully and handle the
bees deeently. They will usually be as harm
less as house flies Light one end of a roll of
cotton rags, a piece of dry rotten elm OF bass
wood, and it will be found good thing with
W hich to smoke bees.
Ifthere are many hives, smoker" will be
found a great convenience. II is a little round
tin stove, abOut three inches in diameter and
six in height. The top of il runs up to a peak
for the smoke TO come ont. The top cover
fits on like the cover to a common pepper box.
that it can be removed and n fire built inside
the smoker. Rags, rOttOn wood, or even cobs,
are the substances generally used for fuel. At
the bottom or side of this little stove, and con-
nected with it by a tube, is fixed a small bel
lows. BY working the bellows, strong cnr-
rent of arr is driven through the smoker, which
causes the smoke TO rise in a stream.
BY using this little instrument, the apiarist
is master of the situation, rs there is no danger
Of setting things on fire. He can put the smoke
just were he wants IL, and in such quantities
the little insects vii! soon become quiet. The
usual price of the smokers is 81, and can he oh
tanned from any dealer in apiary supplies.
When hees swarm, they fill themselves with
honey before leaving the hive, which usually
makes them very peaceablc: but if they are left
hanging in the sun three four honrs before
they are hived, they seem to lose all patience.
and become very cross. have never tried it,
but as "A remedy, would suggest giving them
a good sprinkling with sweetened water before
attempting to hive them. Try to avoid quick
motions, and handle bees carefully.
Perhaps the beginner, if he is timid, had bet
ter protect himself with veil until he has had
some experience, and thereby gained confidence.
The veil may he made of black tarletan, sewed
up like bag, without top or bottom, and of
the diameter Of the rim of a common straw hat.
Gather the top with a cord, that it will just
slip over the crown of the hat and have it so
long that the lower part may be tucked inside
the coat or vest. Common buckskin or deerskin
gloves may he worn, bnt ,the most timid will
soon consider gloves an unnecessary nuisance.

Boiling Eggs.

Having explained the scientific principles in
yolved, Mr.. Mattieu Williams gives in Knor-
Ledge these directions for boiling eggs: Take
saucepan holding pint of water and raise the
latter to the billing point. Then put an egg in
the boiling water, place the saucepan on the
hearth and leave it there with the egg in it ten
minutes or more. An egg so cooked he says,
will be tender and delicate. evenly So through
ont, no part being hard while another part is
semi-raw and Shiny.
The same princirle may be applied to n leg of
mutton. Frst, in order to seal the pores, the
meat should be kept boiling five or ten minutes
A coating of firmly coagulated albumen will
thus envelop the joint. Now, instead Of boiling
''simmering' the water, set the saucepan aside,
where the water will retain n temperature of
about 1s0c, OF j. degrees delow the boiling
point. Continue this about half as long again.
or double the usual time given in the cookery
books for boiling a leg of mutton, and try theef-
feet. The usual addition Of salt to the water is
desirable Ii has threefold action: First, il ,i-
rectly acts on the superficial albumen with CO.
agulating effect; second, it slightly raises the
boiling point of the water; aud third by in
creasing the density of tbs water, the .'exomo-
SIS or oozing out Of the juices is less active
These actions are slight, but all cooperate in
keeping in the juices. A leg of mutton for boil
ing should be fresh, and not hung n for roast
ing.

Greeley's Opinion of New Jersey.

Shortly after the passage of the fourteenth
amendment, a movement in which Mr.. Greeley
had taken considerable interest, large darkey
who had called several time at the Tribune office
came into Mr.. Greeley's private room while he
was busily engaged in writing. Now, if there
was anything that was well understood around
the Tribune office it was that Mr.. Greeley was

thoughts. When he was seen to lie busy, with
his face close down to his paper, and his pen
running rapidly from left to right across his

straight up to his elbow. and with large gold
headed cane under his arm, and fine broad
cloth coat huttoneh close about his breast he
broke right in:

When Armies Fought Hand to Hand.

In the days of hand to hand fighting, when
missiles were employed by comparatively
small portion Of the combatants. the vanquished
were generally almost annihiated aud the vic
tors suffered enormously. At Anna, 40 go Ro-
mans out of 10000 were killed. At Hastings.
the Nomans. though the victors, lost 10000
out of 900. and ut Crecy, il is asserted, 1900
Frenchmcn ont of 100000 were killed, without
reckoning the wounded. When the fint-lock
reigned, the average of the proportion of the
killed and wounded in ten battles, beginning
with Zorndorf in 1855, and ending with Water
loo. from one-fourth TO One-ffth of the
troops present on both sides. The heaviest loss
was at Zorndorf, where ~ GIG men ont of 81, 900
were killed or wounded. 1t was also very heavy
at Eylan. heing 81, 900 casualties out of l60.OO0
mep.' In the campaign in Italy, in 1859, rifles
were used on both sides, and we find that the
proportion of casualties to combatsnts was, at
Magenta aud Solferino. one-eleventh. In the
Franco-Prussian war of ls?0-7l, when both sides
We're armed with Unloading rifles, the aver
age proportion of killed and wounded at Worth,
Spicheren, Mars-!e-T onr, was one-sixth, and the
smallest at Sedan, where it was one-twelfth.-

BY THE STREAM.

SWEET tangled banks where O1-eyed daisies grow
And scarlet peoples CLEAN;
Sweet, changing lights, that ever come and go
Upon the quiet stream
Once more see the flash Of splendid wings,
As dragOn-hies fit by;
Once more for me the small sedge warbler sings
Beneath 4 sapphire sky
Once more feel the simple, fresh contest
found in stream and soil,
When golden Summers slowly came and went
And mine was all their spoil.
! find amid the honeysuekle flower,
And shy forget me not.
Old boy ish memories OF lonely hOur>
Passed in this silent spot.
q, God Of nature. how thy kindness keeps
Some changrless things on earth,
And be who roams far off, and tolls and weeps
Comes home to learn their worth.
Gay visions vanish, worldly schemes may fail.
Hope proves an idle dream,
But still the blossoms flourish, red and pale
Beside my native stream.

PRESERVING INK RoLLERs.-Mr. George Hall
of Newark, an old pressmzn. has devised SIM
pie process for preserving and renovating ink
rollers and adding greatly to their longevity A
steam jacket is added to the roller closet, and
numerous fine jets are so arranged as to play
upon the rollers within. These Jets thoroughly
cleanse the surface Of the roller the skin on its
face disappears, the body Of the roller absorbs a
portion Of the heated vapor, and the whole is
kept in a fresh, elastic condition, ready for
work without further preparation. Experiments
by practical men seem to show that the coutri-
vance possesses considerable value, and is likely
to prove very economical in large printing rs-

THE BY-GoNE DAYS.

Fair were the dream land days Of old
When in the sleepy Summer shade
Beneath the beeches ont void,
The shepherds lay and gently played
Music To maidens who afraid,
Drew all together Tapturously.
Their white, soft hands, like white leaVrs lai
In the old, dear days in Already.
Men werc not then. a. they are now,
Haunted and terrified hy cree,ls;
They sought not then increasingly to know
The end that a magnet leads;
Nor told. with austere fingers. beads;
Nor reasoned with their grief and clrr
But rioted in pleasant meads.
In the old, dear days in Arrady.
The future may be wrong or right
The present il distinctly wrong,
For life and love have lost delight
And bitter even is our song.
And year by year gray doubt grows stuug.
And death j. all that seems to drees
Wherefore with weary hearts we long
For the old, dear days in Already.
