USE BoRAX IN WAsHING.-In en-
plOying a common, cheap, but clean
soap, / often put less than level tea
spoonful of powdered borax into the
bottom of my tub. pouring hot water
on it, and then cooling to the proper
degree. This borax makes the wash
ing more easy, and is good for the
hands, healing them when chapped,
and leaving them in good condition
after washing. Whatever good soap
you use, it is not necessary to boil the
clothes, but this process helps in most
eases. especially if the clothes are well
stirred about in the boiler. 1t is not
best to leave then actually boiling
many minutes, as this will turn them
yellow. The whole washing may be
done without warm water, if desired
but more or stronger soap must be
used, and the labor is harder. We
want to loosen the dirt between the
fbres Of the cloth as easily as possible,
and then to rinse it all away. That is
the philosophy of making soiled clothes
clean.-F E. r., in American AgricaI-
turist for July.

An Effectual Insect Killer.

Kerosene, showered upon plants, is
very penetrating and destroys insects
in all stages of developments, even to
the eggs. Two parts of kerosene to
one of sour milk is proper proper
ton. If fresh milk is not at hand, con-
densed milk, diluted to the same
strength, may be employed. This
mixture is successfully used for the
scale insect ia the orange groves of
Florida, and can be, it is thought, en-
ployed to destroy Chinch-bugs. A
mixture of water and three per cent. of
kerosene is deadly to the bugs, and
does no harm to the growing corn.
By spraying few outside rows near
est a ripening field of wheat, the whole
area of corn can be protected from the
second brood of the destructive Chinch
bug. The apparatus for the cheapest
and best application of the emulsion is
yet to be devised. Doubtless a sprink-
Ter drawn by two horses could be
made, that, by passing between the
rows of corn, would spray they quickly
and effectively.
All farmers seriously troubled with
insects should give kerosene a trial
By using a cheap grade of petroleum
the expense is small, and, with the
necessary apparatus for applying the
emulsion, a safe and successful war may
be waged against the insect enemies
Much depends upon promptness ant
energy; therefore, the farmer should
be prepared to act at the earliest warn
ing. A barrel of kerosene, and gar
den force pump, with necessary at
tachments, ready for use, may come tt
be as essential a part of well-equip
ped farm, or fruit and vegetable gar
den, as fire extinguishers in a city
Try the mixture on a small area, t.
determine the proper strength. L
may be that one proportion is best fo
the Potato-beetle, and another for tn
Cabbage-worms, etc. but the emul
sion must never be SO strong as to in
jure the plants upon which 1t

solo by Miss Blanche Carlisle, of Fred

Veracity," by VIM. P. Taylor, of Dover.
In order to follow out the principles of
truth which the young gentleman
sought to impress upon his audience, it

selection by Miss Lucy Gibson, of
Dover. His subject was Men of Della
ware" The speaker began with Cap
tain Caldwell and the "Blue Hens
Chickens" Miss Sallie Cooper, of
Camden, read an excellent essay on
the Government of Our Thoughts. -
The young lady threw great deal of
spirit into her reading and seemed to
mean all that she said. Her effort was
one of the best of the evening. Lyman

A HOUSEKEEPER'S TRAGEDY.

One day as wandered heard a complaining,
And saw poor woman, the picture of gloom.
She glared at the mud on the doorstep Ctwas
raining)
And this was her wall as she welded the broom:
"Oh life Is q toll and love is a trouble,
And beauty will fade and riches will fee,
And pleasures they dwindle and prices they
double,
And nothing is what could wish it to be.
There's too much Of worriment goes to a bonnet,
There's too much of ironing goes to a shirt
There's nothing that pays for the time wasted on
il,
There's nothing that lasts but trouble and dirt"
"In March it is mud, it's slush in December,
And midsummers breezes are laden with dust,
In Fall the leaves hitler, in muggy September
The wall-pa rots and the 1at-irons rust"
"There are worms in the cherries, and slugs ia
the roses,
And ants in the sugar, and mice in the pies.
The rubbish or spiders, no mortal supposes,
And ravaging reaches and damaging fies."
It's sweeping at six and busting at seven,
It's vietuals at eight and dishes at nine,
It's potting and panning from ten to eleven,
We scarce break our fast ere we plan how to
dine"
with grease and with litter from outside TO
centre,
Forever at war and forever alert,
No rest for a day lest the enemy,
spend my whole time in a struggle with dirt"
Last night in my Dreams was stationed forever
On a bare little isle in the midst of the sea,
My one chance of life was a ceasless endeavor
TO sweep off the waves ere they swept over
me-"
"Alas! twas no dream-again behold ii,
Iyield, 1 am helpless my fate to avert"
She rolled down her sleeves, her apron she folded
Then laid down and died, and was buried in
dirt

Deere hose company left on Wednesday
morning for Decatur. ILL.,, to take part in
the firemen's grand coupling tournament
at the Tabernacle IN that city, and our
citizens who were conversant with their
ability as well as the boys themselves were
quite confident If success. Some time ago
they were entered for the coupling contest
at Muscatine, but were declared from taking
part The boys felt they had been treated
tshabbily" but did not complain. The con
test took place last evening and tie boys
'came to the front" in good shape. The

news to our people in general, who pride
themselves with having one of the best hose
companies in these parts, and. as will be
seen by the above, Messrs. Cooper 81 Tuf

al of the world as couplers. Several years

dered them a hearty welcome, and Messrs.
Cooper & Tuffiey were the recipients of
fully as many honors. AT noon the Deere
hose company met and made arrangements,
and at o'clock the boys were met at the
Peoria and Rock Island depot in our sister
city by the members of their hose company
into one of Deere 81 CO.. long wagon beds
which had been placed on a bob=sled, were
preceded by band as they were escorted
