Household Hints.

Oil-cloth may be kept bright when
almost worn out il. after washing 1t,
you take a flannel cloth and dip a cor
ner OF 1T in Kerosene, and rub the oil
cloth with il. OF course. very little
oil goes a great way, and care must be
taken not to use too much.
An exchange says: Some one may
wish to know how to wash linen
buster, in such way that 1t will not
look faded. An old colored linen
buster should always be washed in
lukewarm water. If there are any
grease spots use little hard soap, or
better still, remove them with benzine.
Rinse thoroughly in water in which a
third of cup Of salt has been dis
solved; the last water must be blue
and small handful of starch put in.
AS soon as the buster is dry take it
down, so that the wind will not blow
the starch out. If damped with warm
water it will soon be ready to iron.

White House, was marked character
He had his foibl,s which often Of
Tended the fastidiousness Of the Presi-
dents nephew and secretary, Major
Donelson, who caused his dismissal on
an average of about once week. But
on appealing to the higher court the
verdict was always reversed by the
good general. Once, however, Jimmy
was guilty of some fragrant offense,
and, being summoned before the
President himself, was thus addressed:
Jimmy, l have borne with you for
years in spite of all complaints, but
this goes beyond my power of endur-
ance." And do you believe the
story?" asked Jimmy. Certainly"
said the general; II have just heard it
from two senators" Faith" re-
torted Jimmy, if believed all that
twenty senators say about you, it's
little I'd think you was fit to be Presi-
dent" "Pshaw Jimmy" concl lded
the general, clear out and 60 back to
your duty, but be more careful here
after" Jimmy not only retained his
place to the close of Jackson's presi-
Dental term, but accompanied him
back to the Hermitage. and was with
him to the day of his death.

What to Eat.

AS a general principle it may be
laid down that meat, fish or poultry in
state of decay cannot be eaten with
safety, since symptoms of irritant
poisoning have so frequently arisen
from this cause. But little consider
alton will show us the impossibility of
drawing hard and fast line upon this
point. We relish venison which has
partially undergone decay, while we
at once reject beef or mutton in a SINH
lar condition. Again, poultry to be
palatable, must be fresh, yet we do not
scruple to eat game which is far ad-
vanced in decomposition.
There is no doubt that in many
cases we are guided by our palates in
determining what food is wholesome
for us; for while many Of us eat
mouldy cheese Chinaman will
swallow bad eggs, and some races en-
joy fish which we should consider
putrid. Even as regards oysters,
which are generally relished in proper
ton to their freshness, it is sometimes
matter of taste For example, it is
recorded of the first monarch of the
House Of Hanover that he objected to
the English native oyster as deficient
in flavor. 1t was privately suggested
by shrewd courtier that the native
oyster should be allowed to become
somewhat stale before being brought
to royal table. The king at once
recognized the flavor which had always
pleased him SO much at Herrenhausen,
and gave orders that in the future he
should always be supplied from that
particular bed-a thing easily accom-
plished under the circumstances.
The absence of evil consequences
after eating food which has undergone
a certain amount of decay is doubtless
due in many cases to the completeness
of the cooking process; but this does
not initiate against the general rule
that food in any stage of decay is I'M
wholesome and should be avoided.
Of late years there have been many
cases of poisonous symptoms arising
from the use of canned meats. The
cause appears mainly to have been i'm
proper methods of canning, or the use
of meat that was tainted before being
canned. An examination of the out
side of the can is our only available
guide as regards this class of article.
The head of the can should be slightly
concave, whereas if it be convex it
shows that decomposition has already
commenced within the can. Some
times through careless soldering the
preserved articles become contaminat-
ed with lead, and poisoning by this
substance is the result.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The less men think the more ,ney
talk.
Women are most perfect when most
womanly.
Those wounds heal i'll that men dc
give themselves.
Fear invites danger, concealed cow.
ards insult known ones.
1t is easier to suppress the first de-.
sire than to satisfy all that follow it.
Some temptations come to the in.
dustrious. but all temptations attack
the idle.
Distinction is not in being heard of
far and wide, but in being solid,
straightforward and loving the right,
Precarious and uncertain gains are
usually as speedily dissipated. Try, if
possible, to save a portion of whatever
you receive, to lay by.
Good qualities, though hidden, be-
come unveiled, and shine throughout
the world. The flower of jasmine, al
though dried up, sends sweet fra
GRANGE everywhere.
Appearances seldom ought to deter
mine our judgment. When the honor,
probity or reputation of some one is
the matter in question, it ought not to
be pronounced without thorough in
vestigation of the subject; and in that
case. suspicious are never certainties.

Flat Culture for Potatoes.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman writes: Several years ago l
became a convert to fiat culture for
potatoes, and every season convinces
me that this mode is preferable to the
forming of hills around the plants
This season, being very moist one in
this section, fully demonstrated with
me that in moist as well as dry seasons
fiat culture is the better of the two
Just across the fence from my potato
patch was field of my neighbours, of
about four acres, planted about ten
days before mine. The ground is alike
on both patches-clayey loan. My
neighbor MANFRED more literally. than
l did. He adopted the hill method of
culture, and the fiat method. In the
early part of the season his made a
much more vigorous growth than
mine; in fact the foliage in his field
CofClOu 0uO SlouHu belOIo llllle udu
begun to grow. AS the season adj
vanced mine gained in growth upon
his and maintained greener foliage
longer. His ripened about a week
ahead of mine, but while his crop aver
aged $50 bushels to the acre, mine aver
aged $50 bushels to the acre. There
was seventy bushels different upon soil
similar, his having the advantage of
more manure than mine. l consider
that fiat culture requires less labor than
billing, produces heavier crops, and the
quality is just as good, with all other
conditions the same.

A Clean Steal.

London is unquestionably the great
est theater in the world for the perpe-
tration of acts of eccentric criminality,
and among them there has probably
never been queerer case than has
recently been developed by the recent
apprehension of an offender for the
heretofore unheard-of crime of steal
ing baths. The individual in question
would lay plans in regular burglar
style for breaking into houses, always
selecting the mansion where he knew
the surroundh s to be luxurious,
Having succeeded in effecting an en-
trance, he would proceed to the bath
room, where he would indulge in the
luxury of thorough cleansing, and.
although he never carried away any
valuables,he may be said to have gen.
orally succeeded in making clean
steel

CuriO IS Loss of Diamonds.

| An old diamond merchant in New
York, remarking to reporter of the
Herald upon the mysterious manner
in which diamonds are lost and found,
related the following singular in
stances:
at is very curious" continued Mr..
Brown, show diamonds seem to lose
themselves sometimes AMI how they
come to light long afterward. l re-
member case that happened in this
house a long time ago. A lady was
looking at some diamond rings, intend
ing to buy one, and while she held one
in her hand it slipped through her fin
gers and fell. The salesman saw it
fall. There was no doubt about it, but
the ring could not be found. A very
careful search was made, of course, at
once, but it had disappeared. The lady
was exceedingly mortified about it, but
she was well known to the house, and,
of course, no suspicion attached to
her. Nevertheless the diamond was
gone, and was never heard of again
for eight years."
"Where was it found?"
"In her dress. Eight years after
ward her dressmaker was ripping it
up to make the material over for
dress for her daughter, and the ring
was found in one of the plaits. The
dress had been worn good deal
during the time--not every day, of
course, but it had had considerable
wear OF course, the lady came back
at once and told of it, bringing the
ring with her."
=" 1 remember another case," said he,
after few comments on this story.
Zone of our customers--a lady-went
home from the theatre one evening and
pulled off her gloves in her parlor.
After little time she went upstairs,
and while undressing scratched her
hand with one of her rings. Looking
at it she found that the stone, which
was very fine one, was missing. She
made careful search at once, and the
next day she had the stairs and halls
and the rooms she had been in after
taking off her gloves swept thorough
ly. She was sure the ring had been
all right when she put on her gloves.
There was no diamond to be found,
however, and after time the search
was given up"
"Was the stone found?"
"Ies. When she cleaned house thu
next spring it was found under very
heavy wardrobe that stood IN front
hail bedroom. She was positive tnat
she did not go into that room that
evening, and the wardrobe was SO
heavy that it was never moved except
ing in housekeeping. Now, if you
can imagine how that diamond got
there you can do mora than I can"

AtlantiUlOl,5.

Ten Atlantic cables in all have been
successfully laid, and the first two are
dead or lost. The cables have an ag-
gregate share capital of 1914. 100000.
OF the eight cables, only three are in
really good order, the other five being
old and having little chance of con-
tinued life. The average life of a cable
is only ten years. One of the eight was
laid in 1859, another in 1873, third
in 1874, fourth is the cable of 1866,
repaired in 1880, while a fifth was laid
in 1875. The more recent three are
the French (Pouyer-Quertier) cable Of
1879, and the two new Gould cables.
The oldest company, the Anglo-Ameri-
can, is the owner of the four Oldest
cables, including the patched one of
1880. Three of these it laid, while the
cable of 1869 was laid by the French
company, and came to the Anglo
American when it absorbed that COM
pany. These four old cables are repre-
sented by capital of $12, 1852, $50, pre-
ferred six per cent. shares, a like
amount of deferred shares, and S., 1884, )
900 of ordinary shares-in all, 1885,
100000. Their total length is 12,3l9
miles, and the capital is, therefore
$2,765 per mile

A FORGOTTEN Duel.

The tearing down of an Anticipated
house at st. Augustine, Fla, brought
to light a rusty sword. TO it is
attached story. Eighty years ago, at
grand ball given by the Spanish gen.
tleman who lived in the house, two
officers came to high words over the
attention paid by them to beautiful
lady present. They repaired to the
street and fought duel with swords.
One man fell dead. The other threw
away his weapon and fled. A little
child who had been a witness of the
encounter, picked up the sword and
carried it into the house. 1t was hid
den that at least one evidence of the
bloody deed might be concealed. Long
after the story of the crime had been
forgotten, the finding of the blood
stained blade calls it anew to mind.
