making the contract of hiring and the
compensation to have been arranged

one of them to the workman, it can
only be regarded as an accident, and

undertake to run any risks not incl

and is there injured without fault on

Useful Hints.

To prevent the smoking of lamp.
This may be easily affected by soaking
the wick in good vinegar for a few
minutes, then drying it we'll before
using it. A good and clear light will
be the result. In the case of glass
chimney there may not be sufficient air
draught.
To clean oil paintings cut raw pc.
tato in two, and with smooth, fiat sur.
face of the inside rub the paint gently
round and round, washing off the dirt
with sponge and soft water from time
to time.
Now when the country housewife
looks with dismay at the empty jars of
pickles, and fears that there will be
none left for spring use, she can coca.
sionally substitute pickles made in this
way for those put up in summer. Take
some small turnips, boil them till they
are tender, then cut in slices little
more than an inch thick, pour cold
vinegar over them, and let them stand
a day and night. A few pepper corns
or kernels of allspice improve the flavor.
Sage tea or any other beverage made
of herbs, should be made in an earthen
vessel, and never in tin, as it will turn
black unless Immediately emptied out,
and it may do SO even then.
To make whites of eggs beat quickly
put in pinch of salt.
Glassware should be washed in cold
water, as it gives brighter and cleaner
look than when washed in warm.
Headache-Sponge the head all over
night and morning with water as hot
as you can bear it, and rub dry with
coarse towel.
Falls-Rub the part affected with
piece of fresh butter, and it will pre-
vent a bruise or any discoloring of the
skin.

Twisted Bones.

Mr.. j. r. Stewart, of Macon, Ca,
a well known and trustworthy gentle>
man, makes the following statement:
"My son, who was between three and
four years old, was all drawn up with
rheumatism. His bones were twisted,
and he was all doubled out of shape.
He suffered intense pain, had lost his
appetite, was cross and fretful. He
reduced to mere skeleton, and had to
be carried about on q pillow. AS these
cases of rheumatism, where the bones
were twisted the joints were all crook
ed, had for years baffled the skill of
the most eminent physicians, l deter
mined to use Swift's Specific, as l had
seen testimonials from men whom l
knew to be trustworthy, of similar
cases it had cured. used two large
size bottles of S. S. S. according to di>
rections, with the most satisfactory re.
suits. My son commenced improving
with the first dose of the medicine.
His suferings diminished daily, and
his appetite increased; he became
cheerful and in good spirits. Gradually
he regained the use of his limbs, the
twisted bones and joints Strengthened
out and in less than two months he was
entirely cured, and could walk and get
about as well as any child of his age.
Beware of limitations of Swift's Spe~
cifc, gotten up by unprincipled parties
to deceive the public; some of these
frauds bear the lie on their faces pur-
porting to be vegetable remedies, when
they are really nothing but mercury
and potash.

Mother and Daughter.

Cottage Hearth.
In many families the mother and II
grown'up daughter do not live pleas
antly together; quarrels are frequent,
and, worse than all, the infection
spreads through the household, which
if the family is large, will become a
very unhappy one.
From years of observation and some
experience, the writer thinks that the
unpleasantness alluded to proceeds
from the following cause.
During childhood mother COM
mands and expects obedience from her
children, which is right at the time, but
as the years go by, and the daughter
arrives to the age of fourteen, or there
abouts, she is apt to think herself too
old to be governed by anyone. 1t is
hard for mother to realize that her
daughter is child no longer, but is
on the threshold of womanhood, and
needs to be managed differently. If
the mother is wise, she will, at this
period in her daughters life, treat her
as a companion, cease commanding
and use another method of controlling
her, for unless she does so, spirit of
antagonism will be aroused in the girls
mind which is productive of unpleasant
results, and is hard to eradicate. Never
tell her she must do thing. A bet
ter way to manage is this: If instead
of ordering or trying to compel her
daughter to do piece of sewing, go
anywhere, or help about the house, a
mother would just say, in pleasant
way, as if she were asking favor, |
have so much sewing to do, &c, &C.,
will you try to help me? Encourage
her by praising-a little appreciation
goes a good way with some natures.
Mothers; try my way, and, my word
for it, you will find it good way to
secure peace at home.

The Sun.

In any reference to the physical his
tory of the sun, the stupendous magnl-
tude of its sphere must be kept vivid
ly present to the mind. With diam
eter 105 times longer than that of the
earth's, the solar orb looks out into
space from surface that is twelve
thousand times larger than the one
which the earth enjoys. The bulk of
the sun is one million three hundred
thousand times that of the earth. 1t
the surface of the sun were thin ex-
ternaI rind, or shell, and the earth
were placed in the middle of this hol-
low sphere, not only would the moon
have space to circle in its usual orbit
without ever getting outside of the So
lar shell, but there would be room also
for a second satellite, nearly as tar
again as the moon, to accomplish a
similar course. The weight of the sun
is three hundred thousand times the
weight of the earth, or in round mum,
bers, two thousand millions of millions
of millions of millions of tons. The
mean distance of the sun from the
earth is now so we'll ascertained,
through Investigations which have been
made in several distinct ways, that
there can scarcely be in the estimate
an error of 100000 miles. The dis,
lance, at the present time given, is
92,8S5, 900 miles. This measure is in
itself so vast that, if any traveller we're
to move at the rate of four miles an
hour for ten hours day, it would take
him $500 years to reach the sun.
In order that the earth, thus moving
round the sun with a chasm of SO, OOO,-
900 miles of intervening space between
them, may not be drawn to the sun by
the preponderant attraction of 800, 600
times larger mass, it has to shoot for
ward in its momental velocity fifty
times more rapid than that of the
swiftest rife ball. But in moving
through twenty miles of this onward
path, the earthl:is drawn out of q
straight line by something less than
the eighth part of an inch. This de-
Walton is properly the source from
which the amount Of the solar attrac'
ton has been ascertained. If the
earth were suddenly arrested in its on
ward fight, and its momentum was in
that way destroyed, it would be drawn
to the sun, by an irresistible force O.
its attraction, in four months, or in the
twenty>seventh part of the time which
cannon ball would take to complete
the same journey.

How Celluloid is Made.

A roll of paper is slowly unwound,
and at the same time saturated with a
mixture Of five parts Of sulphuric acid
and two of nitric, which falls upon the
paper in a nice spray. This changes
the celluloise of the paper into fine
pyroxlyne (gun cotton). The excess
of acid having been expelled by pres
sure, the paper is washed with plenty
of water until all traces of acid have
been removed 1; it is then reduced to
pulp and passed on 10 the bleaching
trough. Most of the water having
been got rid Of by means of strainer,
the pulp is mixed with from 20 to 40
per cent. of its weight of camphor, and
the mixture thoroughly triturated un-
der millstones. The necessary coloring
matter having been added in the form
OF powder, second mixture and grind
ing follows. The finely divided pulp
is then spread out in thin layers on
slabs, and from twenty to twenty-five
of these layers are placed in an hydrau>
lie press, separated from one another
by sheets of thick blotting paper, and
subjected to pressure of 14O atmOs.
pheres, until all traces of moisture
have been got rid Of. These plates
thus obtained are broken up and soak
ed for twenty.four hours in alcohol.
The matter is then passed between
rollers heated to between 140' aud
1909 Fahrenheit, whence it issues in
the form elastic sheets.

Bedbugs.
Home and Farm.

Home and Farm.
The best weapon for fighting bed
bugs is the most scrupulous and vigi.
liant cleanliness. All beds and bed
steads should be examined frequently
in summer, and if any trace of bedbugs
be found, the bedstead should be taken
to pieces and washed thoroughly with
cold water and soap, applied with
scrubbing brush. This is the only way
to destroy the eggs which are deposited
during the summer in every crack and
crevlce, and unless these are destroyed
the bugs will increase in number, no
matter how many are killed. After
the scrubbing, the different parts of
the bedstead should be washed over
with spirits of turpentine, and if this
proves ineffective, an ounce of corro-
sive sublimate, mixed in half a pint of
alcohol, or quicksilver beaten up with
whites of eggs, may be used, Both
these last, however, are deadly poisons
and should be cautiously used, if at all.
The "Persian Insect Powder" which is
Harmless to man but certain death to
all insects, is the best bedbug poison
yet devised, but it is not easy to pro-
cure an unadulterated article. 1t should
be sprinkled beautifully in every crack
and crevice. A solution of potash is
also good, and some recommend highly
simple kerosene oil others think that
salt and water is unequaled.
BEDBUG Po1soN.-Spirits of wine,
half pint; spirits of turpentine, half
pint; crude sal ammoniac, one ounce;
corrosive sublimate one ounce cam.
phor, one ounce. This mixture should
be injected into the joints of the beds
stead with syringe or a sponge fas-
tened on stick all the rest of the
woodwork should be washed with it.
Bedbugs do not confne their atten-
ton to beds, but make home in the
walls, behind mantle.pieces, and
wherever they can find a congenial
crack, and they must be warred upon
here no less vigorously. If there be
any cracks in the wallpaper they
should be carefully pasted over with
fresh paper; or if the paper has be.
come loose from the wall at any point,
that also should again be made fast,
Bugs love to harbor in plaster work ;
but unless the paper be broken loose
they can not make their way through
it. 1t is one of the discouragements Of
fighting bedbugs that one never knows
when the victory is secured. Just
when they seem to have been utterly
destroyed, they make their appearance
again. The only plan is to keep con-
stantly on the lookout for them, to
keep the bed and its surroundings scru-
pulously clean, and to have some relia-
BILE preparation ready at hand to use.
