A Submarine Treasure.

In 1870 the British man-of-war Hus-
sar was wrecked in He'll Gate, having
on board about 100000 in guineas.
In 1874 an expedition was sent out from
England, and for two seasons attempted
to raise the wreck, but was forbidden
to work longer by the United States
Government. In 1919 another attempt
was made by an English company with
a diving-bell, but with no success.
Since then a number of companies have
organized only to meet with failure.
Within the past five years a new COM
pany has been at work, using the latest
submarine armor and appliances. A
sloop firmly anchored about 100 wards
from the New York side of the East
river, three-quarters of a mile above
Wards Island, is the company's head
quarters, and marks the spot where the
Hussar sank, with her bows pointing to
the north. The stock is divided into
$4,000 shares of 800 each. Cannon.
cannon-balls, menacles, gun-fints, sill
yer plate and bones have been found.
One day brass box was brought to the
surface. 1t was full of Jewels, with
necklace of brilliants. It was left for a
moment on the deck, and disappeared,
never to be seen again on board again.
A lump of silver, made of various coins
agglomerated by the action of the
water, has been found, together with
scattering gold coins. But the main
treasure remains yet to be found.

SUGGESTIONS OF VALUE. :

To CLEAN spice-mill grind handful
of raw rice through it.
A GRID1RoN should always be heated
before putting meat on it to broil.
FISH may be scaled much easier bv
dipping them In boiling water for a
minute
The best way to hang up broom is
to screw large picture-ring into the
top of the handle.
70 MEASURE corn in crib, ascertain
the number of cubic feet the crib con-
tains, multiply this number by thirteen
and divide by eight, and you have a
close approximation to the number of
heaped ear bushels.
BENzoLE and common clay are used
to clean marble. Grease spots can be
removed from marble by the applica-
ton of paste made of crude potash
and whiting. Brush it all over the
surface to be cleaned and polish off.
To PRESERVE bright CRATES OF fire.
sides from rust, make a strong paste of
fresh lime and water, and with a fine
brush smear it as thickly as possible all
over the polished surface requiring
preservation. By this simple means
all the CRATES and fre-irons in an empty
house may be kept for months free from
harm without further care or attention.
The following is stated to be nearly
correct rule for measuring corn in
cribs: Having leveled the corn to the
crib, measure the length, breadth and
depth, and multiply them together, and
deduct from the product one-ffth, and
you have the number of bushels in the
ear; for shelled corn take one-half of
this. To be strictly correct add half a
bushel for every 100.
To Tan RABBIT SK1Ns.-Wash them
In cold suds; then dissolve pulverized
saltpeter and alum in hot water, add
cold water, and soak the skins in it all
night; then hang them over pole to
drain; when nearly dry sprinkle with
powdered saltpeter and alum; fold the
flesh side together, lay them where they
viii not freeze, turn every day until
dry, then scrape the flesh side with a
blunt knife, and rub with pumi-,c stone
and the hands.
A CIElP, black paint or varnish for
iron work is prepared as follows:
Clear, solid wood tar, 10 pounds; lamp
black or mineral black, L pounds; oil
of turpentine, 81 quarts. The tar is
first heated in a large iron pot to boil
ing, or nearly so, and the heat continued
for about four hours. The pot is then
removed from the fire out of doors, and
while still warm not hot) the turpen-
tine, mixed with the black, is stirrid in.
Ii the varnish is too thick to dry quick
ly, add more turpentine. Benzine can
be used instead of turpentine, but the
results are not so good. Asphaltum is
preferable to cheap tar.

CURIOUS AND SCIENTIFIC.

In theaters the electric is beginning
to displace the line light in producing
stage effects.
The human stomach can stand mix
ture of apples, potatoes, candy, milk,
wine, coffee, vinegar, spice, meat, bread,
honey, oysters, beef, water, cake, cider,
soup and grapes, and not rebel. Such
az experiment was lately tried in Wash
in9ton.
AN English trade journal asserts that
the British paper-makers are compelled
TO go to the United States for the best
chilled rolls for glazing calenders, as
both English and Scotch engineers fail
to produce anything equal to the Amer
lean.
WATER saturated with alum is recon-
mended by the veteran scientist, III. Du-
mas, as speedy and efectual remedy
for exit gushing fires. His PROPOSE
ton is based on the theory that the
alum would coat the object wetted with
it, intercept the access of atmospheric
oxygen, and thus stay combustion.
BELT manufacturers may find it of
interest to know that the experiments
OF III. Janatzv, of Brussels, disclose that
under uniform loads caoutchouc takes
increasing elongations, until it becomes
quite twice as long as it was originally,
and that then the elongations decrease
until rupture ensues. The weight nee
essary to quadruple the length is three
times that under which the length has
become doubled.
PAPER in a variety of forms, which
shall be both luminous and proof
against damp, is made up of the follow
ing substances: Water, 20 parts; paper
pulp. 40 parts phosphorescent powder
by preference Stacked for twenty
four hours-20 parts; gelatine, parts;
and saturated solution of bi-chromate of
potash, part. The gelatin resists the
damp and the phosphorescent powder
secures luminosity.
AsBEsTUs is at present in Italy mainly
supplied from the Provinces of Son
drio and Turin. It occurs in regular
strata varying from 3 to inches, al
though in some cases it has been struck
70 inches thick. The inclosing rocks
are choritic and telcose schitst of a
greenlsh color, and the asbestus is found
chiefly In fbrous masses of a yellowish-
with color. Occasionally the fbers
are long and firms like a skein of thread
of yard or more in length. It has
also been noted that asbestus abounds
III the serpentine rocks, and it is often
accompanied by other minerals, among
which garnets of green color in
minute crystals are discovered.
SOME person of solemn, and at the
same time statistical, turn of mind, has
taken the following means of ascertain
ing how many people die every year:
"Asia has 000,O0O,0OO inhabitants;
Europe, 305,000,000; Africa, 2O4,O0O,-
900; America, 66,OO0,OOO; Oceanica,
100000. These, remember, are low
estimates, and give total of only
1,400,000,000. Allowing to the inhabi-
tants of the earth an average life of 80
years, we find that every year 81, $4,000
people die, which gives total of co.
720 deaths per day, $3.50 deaths per
hour, 63 deaths every minute, or more
than one every second. Thus, every
second, as French author expresses it,
"a leaf falls from the vast tree of hui
mainly, to be forthwith replaced by
new one"

Poets and Critics.
AS well to die and go,
As die and stay
York Tribune.

The genuine work of the world in
poetry, or pictures, or the industries,
is done by the people who do not
pause to hear the echo of their own
voices. The poetic temperament, how
ever slightly favored, is always the
artistic temperament, and by its nature
suffers keenly. But that this subjective
emotion is weakness, and that it may
be IN great measure overcome, is vital
truth of life. It may be submitted,
too, if it is not one of the moral duties
to overcome this feeling which is pro-
ductive of so much discomfort, both to
the poet and his immediate circle of
friends, who are taxed to sympathize
with the trials, largely imaginary, that
he suffers from the injustice of a cold,
unfeeling world.-BoSton Traveller.

Cure for Dinhtherta.

DR.. W. A. Scott, of Milo, Iowa. gives
the following cure for diphtheria, which
he has found very successful in his
practice. It can be found at any drug
store, and used by any person without
danger:
Take ten grains of permanganate OF
potassium and mix with one ounce of
cold water. As soon as dissolved it
must be applied with rag or sponge,
mop or swab to the whitish places in
the tonsils, and other parts that have
the diphtheria membrane on. Do this
very gently, but thoroughly, every three
hours until better; then every six hours
until well. 1t does not give pain, but
is rather nauseous to the taste. If the
tongue is coated white. I mix one
drachm of hyposulphite of soda and five
drops of oil sassafras in four ounces of
sirup made of sugar and hot water, and
give teaspoonful every one to three
hours, as needed, when awake. If the
tongue is not coated white, I mix TWEEN
ty drops of tincture of phytolacca in
four ounces of cold water and give a
teaspoonful every one to three hours,
as needed, when awake The phyto-
lacca is the common poke-root of the
South, and, as it loses its strength by
drying and age, the tincture should be
from the fresh root, or it is worthless.
1t is'well to apply little sweet-oil or
cosmoline to the outside of the throat
to protect it from the action of the air,
as the patient must be protected from
all danger of getting chilled.
In the beginning of the disease, in
mild cases, the above solution of per
manganate of potassium is all I use,
and all that is needed, as the disease is
local at first, but it rapidly affects the
whole system when seated. In the
sinking form of diphtheria this solu-
ton soon destroys all smell, and in
every case it destroys the diphtheria
membrane without leaving any bad eff
feet behind.

These grants, amounting in the ag-
gregate to 215, 203.807 acres, or over
$4,000 square miles, is only about
5000 miles less in area than all the
original thirteen States of the Union
taken together, and is more than 70
per cent. greater than the total area of
the German empire. Fortunately for
the country, q number of these grants
have been forfeited; yet, as above
shown, 1884,, 403 acres, or more than
the total area of England and Wales to-
gether, had been actually certified to
the States and roads named before June
80, 1879; and many acres have been GER
titled since that time. The exact
amount down to date is not vet pub
lished. To avoid taxation, the rail-
roads entitled to public lands delay
taking their certificates until the set
tlement of the country and opportunity
for selling make it to their interest to
do 50. A large amount of the land COW
cred by the above grants will be GER
titled to the grantees on demand.

HOuSe-PiantS.

The more freely plant is growing
the more water it will require; and the
more it grows the more light and sun it
needs. In all cases those which seem
to grow the fastest should be placed
nearest the light. The best aspect for
room plants is in the southeast. They
seem like animals in their affection for
the morning sun. The first morning
ray is worth dozen in the evening.
Should any of our fair readers find her
plants, by some unlucky calculation,
frozen in the morning, do not remove
them at once to warm place, but dip
them In cold water and set them in a
dark spot where they will barely escape
freezing. Sunlight will only help the
frost's destructive power.

Mistakes Eminent Men Made.

Old men give too much advice for it
all to be sound. Washington, it is said,
once decided that the Erie canal was
not practicable. Sam Houston thought
one-half the money Congress voted to
Morse to build the first telegraph line
ought to be devoted to encourage mes
merism. Cave johnson, Postmaster
General, declined to buy the telegraph
patents for the Government for $780,
600 on the ground that it could not
earn expenses. Ezra Cornell spent
two-thirds OF Morse's appropriations
laying the first poor starveling telegraph
underground instead of stretching it
like clothes-line. Timothy Howe was
sure a 50-cent tax on whisky could not
collect as much as 81 tax. Seward
thought $4,000 men would put down
the rebellion. The old Baltimore
merchant to whom Poe's poems were
submitted Endorsed them: Here is a
man fit for nothing whatever. Franklin
rather thought the Stamp act smart
recommendation. Commodore Van
derb1lt told his son to buy no railroads
outside of New York State. Old age is
for counsel, but it ought to come from
the amen" benches. All the wisdom
In Spain and Portugal discouraged
Columbus, but pretty woman said to

THE DEATH 0F THE FAITHFUL
DOG JACK.
BY REV. OLIVER CRANE, D. D.

BY REV. OLIVER CRANE, D. D.
am seated in my study,
Brain is thick and thought is muddy,
Every nerve is on the rack;
Fain would write glib and gladly,
But we all are feeling badly,
We are mourninE1sSre and sadly,
Mourning oyes faithful Jack.
Jack is dead the good old fellow,
Grizzled, red and white and yellow,
Foe to foes and friend to friends;
True, he had a trick of shopping,
Nosing round, and sometimes swooping
Down among the hens, then STOPPING,
Crouching meek to make amends.
1t was Sunday he was taken.
Ali day long he looked forsaken,
Scarcely uttering sound;
Yet all night we heard him barking,
Though it seemed not worth remarking,
Possibly some dog WAS lsrking-
Larking sly or proving round.
But the dog was sick and dying.
We next morning found him lying,
Breathing quick and heavily;
Some said he was mad and stunned him,
Some that enc had struck and stunned him,
But there lay the dog and summed him
Summed him, but in agony.
When I spoke he seemed to know me,
Looked and tried so hard to show me
That he recognized me still,
That I could not help but pity,
Yet 1 knew, in all the city,
Not person, wise or witty,
Could assist with drug or pill.
Quivered he as aspen quivers,
Or as boy half-frozen shivers,
With the sleet full in his face;
He was poisoned, none could doubt it,
None who saw him writhe would scout 1t,
Bnt did not want TO hout it,
For what man could be SO base?
But the dog was growing weaker,
With piteous, kinder, meeker
Look which cannot be forgot;
Yet, as now he fast was failing,
And as hope was unavaihng,
Though it caused a secret quailing,
I, reluctant, had him shot.
So he died, and consequently
For we could not keep him-gently
He was buried with regret;
Lone and sad the coachman wheeled him,
For unwheeled no man could WELD him,
And where waving oak trees shield him
There was buried Jack, the pet.
Do you wonder we are lonely? =
Where lie kenneled now is only
Silence, uGdisturbed and deep;
He was always glad to greet US,
Always waiting round to meet US,
And, when racing, sure to beat US
Beat us and ahead would keep.
But no more will Jack attend us,
Watchfully no more defend US,
Day and night from tramp and thief;
Lone is now the barn and stable
Always there when he was able,
Toasted from his masters table
He is gone and we in grief.
Farewell Jack, who us attended,
Farewell now, thy days are ended,
Now with all the world at peace;
There no pest will e'er infest thee,
There no foe will e'er modest thee,
There in peaceful slumber rest thee,
Till eternal ages cease!
