Watering Sheep.

A writer urges more careful study
of pure water and of drinks in general,
on the economy of animals. The
privation of water tells more rapidly
on health than abstinence from food.
In every kind of beverage, the part
ehicacious in assuaging thirst is the
water. The quantity of water required
by an animal varies with the airs tenn
perature and humidity. A sheep re-
quires least and a pig most water,
horses and cattle come between. In the
case of sheep, much water thins the
blood. They ought ley to be de-
prived of water, nor at the same time
allowed to fully Stake their thirst.
The latter observation applies also to
horses. The sheep and horses are, of
domestic animals, the most sensitive
to impure water. For draught ami
mails and sheep warm drinks are ener-
waiting.

A Naval Omcer's Prank.

The secretary Of the navy lately sent
a note to naval officers asking them for
suggestions as to a change of uniform.
This puts some old-timerS in mind of
a similar request made by Jefferson
Davis, when secretary of war under
Franklin Pierce. Lieutenant Derby,
alias John Phoenix, the first great
American Joker, was so fortunate as to
get one. In reply he sent a PROPOSE
ton for having a two-inch ron ring
appended by a stout piece of leather to
the seat of each enlisted mans trou-
sers. Long and formal specifications
demonstrated the utility of this ring,
the use of which would incontestably
place our army at the head OF the mill
tary bodies of the world.
Each officer, instead Of a sword, was
to carry a long white ash pole, with 3
hook at one end. By hooking this pole
into the trousers-ring of the private he
could be heldin line of battle, or caught
when he tried to run away. Men in
the artillery service could, by means of
the ring, be used for draught purposes
and in the cavalry could be locked to
other rings in the saddle and kept from
falling OF. Lieutenant Derby was a
good draughtsman, and he Illustrated
his proposition. Officers were pictured
catching infantry stragglers and fore
ing them into the ranks, dragons as
~padlocked to their saddles and artillery
men with cannon-prolongs hitched to
their rings and drawing huge pieces
up steep heights.
This extraordinary proposition caused
considerable fun among the war de-
partment clerks. 1t finally reached
Secretary Davis, who regarded it as an
insult. At his instance charges a d
specifications were drawn up and a
court martial was ordered. Then
Marcy, secretary of state. heard of the
matter and advised Secretary Davis to
lie. it drop. Mr.. Davis Jaw the wisdom
of the advice and Derby did not have
to suffer for his Joke. His "proposi-
tion and specifications for a change Of
uniform" are yet among the archives
Of the war department.-SpyinGfeld

Household Hints.

Ceilings that have been smoked by
a kerosene lamp should be washed off
with soda water.
Hellebore sprinkled on the floor at
night destroys cockroaches; they eat
it and are poisoned.
A tablespoonful of turpentine boiled
with your white clothes will greatly aid
the whitening process.
Paste for labels is made by soaking
glue in strong vinegar, then heatingi it
to boiling and adding flour.
Good fires should be kept up during
housekeeping time, even though the
doors and windows be kept open.
A piece of stearine candle, sperma-
ceti or white wax as large as a robins
egg will give a nice gloss. A teaspoon
of salt to each pint of starch prevents
sticking.
When silk has lost it's gloss and be-
come limpsy it may be restored by
sponging with a solution of half an
ounce of gum t%ragacanth in a pint of
hot water.
Painted woodwork is washed with
soap and water, or a little ammonia
and water on white paint. On grained
work cold tea is sometimes used. Very
little if any soap should be used on
vanished work. In washing wood
work do not use so much water that it
runs down and streaks the wood, and
wipe thoroughly dry.
Before %repapering a wall it is best
to remove the old paper. This is a
troublesome operation. Moisten a
portion of the wall at a time to soften
the paper and paste and then scrapei it
off. When it is desired to paper over
IA whitewashed surface, first scrape off
the loose lime, fill cracks with plaster
of paris and apply with a brush a
sizing made by adding eight ounces of
dissolved glue TO apailful of hot water.
Hard-fnished walls may be washel
with soap and water and wiped dry.
Grease spots on wallpaper can some
times be removed by applying a thick
paste of boiling hot starch spread
thickly on the spot, then allowed to
dry and rubbed off with IL soft cloth.
Other stains may be cut out with Il
sharp knife and apiece of clean paper
matched on.
