The Washington Capital gives
the following in a summary of the
benefits from hot water drinking:
''It is an inside bath. 1t dissolves
the abnormal crystalline substances,
preventing coughs, neuralgia, rheu-
matism and gout. Necessary to
have hot water in the stomach before
meals. Use it to wash down the
bile, slime, yeast and waste, and
have the stomach fresh and clean
for eating. 1t promotes elimination

Coal-Ashes for the Dust-Box.


Though road dust, composed
largely, as it is, of comminuted
granite, is perhaps the most effectu-
al destroyer of vermin that can be
placed in a fowls dusting box, it
sometimes happens that undue neg
lect oD yOurlpart in securing,it early,
or the unexpected setting in
of winter, prevent you hav-
ing any on hand, and then the next
best thing to do must be procured
as substitute. Some recommend
wood ashes, and perhaps if it could
always be kept free from moisture
it might serve the purpose; but
when it becomes damp a caustic lye
forms, injurious to the eyes, mouth
and feet of the fowls, and 1t is
therefore unfit for use, though pos
sibly a very small portion mixed
with sand, which may be attainable
even in winter, would not be objec-
tionable.
Coal ashes arc really the best
substitute, as it is not only free
from oaustic qualities, but contain
burnt slate and other pure earthly
matter, which the fowls like to
scratch for and devour.
Even if your dust bin is properly
filed with suitable earth, coal
ashes when attainable is an addi-
tion to the general arrangements OF
your fowls quarters which should
not be neglected. Taken from the
stove, they are necessarily dry, q
very desirable point in winter; and
in case Of accidental lack of supply
for egg-shells, various bits of silics
and other inorganic matter can be
gathered from them to furnish the
needed elements, and they are thus
of value in more than one direction

Puzzles for the Bows.

Chatterbox: Boys should never
go through life satisfied to be al
ways borrowing other peoples
brains. There are some things they
should find out for themselves.
There is always something waiting
to be found out. Every boy should
think some thought that shall live
after him. A farmers boy should
discover for himself what timber
will bear the most weight, which is
the most elastic, what will last the
longest in the water, what is the
best time to cut down trees for fire
wood. How many kinds of oak
grow in your region, and what is
each specially good for? How does
a bird fly without moving a wing
or feather? How does snake
climb a tree or a brick wall? Is
there any difference between a
deer's track and q hogs track?
What is it? How often does a deer
shed his horns, and. what- becomes
of them? In building a chimney,
which shonld be the largest, the
throat or the funnel? Should it be
wider at the top, or drawn in?
The boys see white horses. Did
they ever see a white colt? Do
they know how old the twig
must be to bear peaches and how
old the vine is when grapes first
hang upon it? There is bird in
the forest which never builds n
nest, bat lays in nest of other
birds. Can the boys tell what that
bird is? Do they know that hop
vine always winds with the sun, but !
bean vine always winds the other
way? Do they known that when
horse crops grass he eats back to-
wards him; but COW eats outward |
from her, because she has no teeth |
in her upper jaw, and has to gum it? !

Quite little breeze has been raised among
our wholesale grocsrymen by the action of
Whitney & Kelly of Boston. 1t seems that
the firm of Berger, Hurlburt & Livingstone,
which has lately failed in New York, had for
warded some So hogsheads of moasses to sew
eral of our well-known firms by the New York
steamer. Berger, Hurlburt & Livingstone
were owing Whitney & Kelly $4,000. Mr.
Kelly came down here, trusted all accounts
he could find in the city owed to the New York
firm, and seized the molasses on the steamer.
When the merchants went for their molasses
they found Mr.. Kelly had attached it, acting
under legal advice. The merchants have not
yet taken legal steps, as far as we can learn, to
recover their molasses, although several of
them think that as the molasses was sold to
them by the New York firm, and they are re-
sponsible customers, that the Boston firm had
no right to attach and hold the property. They
think it is different situation from what it
would be If they were not responsible and the
New York firm was seeking to recover its own
property IN transitat.

splendid game, and Chatterton played well. Barnes
DID not play his usual good field. while Hutchinson
had one chance and lostit. The Lawrence club are

The Grog sbeps

To the Editor Of the Press:
see that the PRESS of this morning (the
l5th) again gives kind and friendly advice to
the temperance men and women as to the way
in which they should manage the temperance
cause. The PRESS thinks no more law against
the grog shops is needed. Does the PRESS
know anything whatever of the law as it now
stands and OF the loopholes through which
rumsellers now escape its penalties? Does the
PRESS know anything whatever, practically,
ABOUT the enforcement OF the law and of the
frequent failures to bring guilty parties to ms
t1ce? Ii not, why should it obtrude its advice
upon persons who spend a great deal of time
and thought upon the matter? 1 think two
thirds, If not three-fourths, of the clientele of
the PRESS and Of the Republican party are
friends OF temperance and do not see why
it should so constantly antagonist them,
