Ammonia Better than Soap.

housekeeper says ammonia when
purchased in large quantities, is cheap
er than soap, and cleans everything it
touches. A (, drops in a kettle that
is hard TO clean makes grease and
sickness fade away, and robs the
work of all its terrors. Let it stand ten
minutes before attempting to scrape
off, and every corner viii be clean. 1t
cleans the sink, and penetrates into the
drainpipe. Spots and finger-marks on
paint disappear under its magical in
fiuence, and it is equally effective on
floor and oil-cloth, though it must be
used with great care on the latter or it
will injure the polish. There is nothing
to equal it in cleaning the silyerware,
and it gives higher polish and keeps
clean longer than anything else. 1.-THE
silver be only slightly furnished put
two tablespoonfuls of ammonia into a

articles with it and dry with chamois.

it cleans without rubbing the finest
fabrics. Put few drops into your
sponge bath in hot weather, and YOU
viii be astonished at the result, as it
imparts GOODNESS to the skin. Use it
to clean hair-Lrushes, and to wash any
hair or feathers to be used for beds or
pillows. When employed in anything
that is not especially soiled. use the
waste water afterward for the house
plants that are taken down from their

nourishes. In every way, in fact, am

How To Prevent Fires.

1. Always buy the best quality of oil.
2. Never make q sudden motion with
lamp. either in lifting it or setting it
down.
3. Never put lamp on the edge of a
table or mantel.
A. Never fill lamp after dark, even
if you should have to go without a
lamp.
5. See that the lamp-wicks are al
ways clean, and that they work freely
in the tube.
6. Never blow a lamp out from the
top.
z. Never take a light to closet
where there are clothes. If necessary to
60 to the closet, place the light at a
distance.
s. Use candles when possible in GO
ing about the house and in bedrooms.
They are cheaper and can't explode,
and for many purposes are just as good
as lamps.
9. Matches should always be kept in
stone or earthen jars or tin.
10. They should never be left where
rats or mice can get hold of them.
There is nothing more to the taste of a
rat than phosphorus. They will eat it
if they can get at it. A bunch of
matches is almost certain to be set fire
to if rat gets at it.
IL. Have perfectly good safes in
every place where matches are to be
used. and never let match be left on
the floor.
II. Never let match 90 out of your
hand after lighting it until you are
sure the fire is out, and then it is better
to put it in a stove or earthen dish.
Is. 1t is far better to use the safety
matches. which can only be lighted up
on the box which contains them.
a. Have your chimneys examined
carefully in the fall, and at least once
during the winter, by competent per-
son. All the pipes and fiues should be
carefully looked to.
Is. If there are any closets in the
house near chimneys or flues, which
there ought not to be, put nothing of a
combustible nature into them. Such
closets will soil silver and crack crock
cry and burn bedding They form a
bad part of any house that contains
them.
40. Ncfcl icdfo any Wuou near IuI-
mace, range, or stove to dry.
IL. Have your stove looked to fire.
quently to see that there are no holes
for coal to drop out.
Is. Never put any hot ashes or Goals
in a wooden receptacle.
10. Be sure there are no curtains or
shades that can be blown into a gas
light
20. Never examine gas-meter after
dark. -New York Fireman's Herald.

Southern Lumber.

Southern lumber is becoming an OBJ
iect of increased attention. Pine and
cypress are plenty. Cypress is almost
as strong and durable as cedar, and is
much used in railroad construction in
the south. But the wealth of timber
in which the south is especially favored
is its hardwood forests. These timbers
for all purposes, from the building of a
ship down to the handles of small edge
tools, are not surpassed, if equaled.
anywhere in the world. By actual
test, the white oak and hickory is capa-
BILE of 338 more resistance than the
hickory and white oak of the north
The reason for this is its longer period
of growth. The ash of the south is a
favorite for agricultural implements
and railroad cars. The southern wal
nut is in very active demand. Poplar
is much usei for furniture. The
swamp red sweetgum is also valuable,
but little known. Atlanta ConStttu-

Round And Square Maliets.

1.-The reason why carpenters use
square wooden mallets and stone
masons round wooden mallets is not
generally known, even by the work
men themselves said a mechanical
engineer THE handles of carpenters
chisels are made of wood, and if they
should strike them with metal ham,
mer the handles would crack. This
uecessitates the use of wooden mallets,
and they must be large in order to have
the proper weight. They are made
square, so that they may be used in
corners where a round mallet would
not go.
"Stone-masons use wooden mallets
because they are less likely than iron
hammers to injure hands by missing
he chisel. Their chisels are OF iron
throughout, and the mallet is made
-ound so that different part may
strike on the chisel at each blow. The
mason turns his hammer as he works,
otherwise the iron tool would soon bore
= hole in it. "--Neto York Sun.

Persian Paintings.

The palaces of Ispahan are decorated
with large oil paintings by the most
eminent Persian artists of their day.
ALI are life size, and none are devoid of
merit. Some are very clever, particu-
larly the likenesses of Futteh Ali Shah
and his sons, several of whom were
strikingly like their father. As Futteh
Ali Shah had an acknowledged family
of ~, this latter fact is curious.
These paintings are without frames,
spaces having been made in the walls
to receive them. The Virgin Mary is
frequently represented in these mural
paintings; also Mr.. Strachey, young
diplomat who accompanied the English
Queen Elizabeth, is still admired as a
type of adolescent beauty. He is repre-
sented with auburn hair in the correct
costume of the period, and copies of
his portrait are still often painted on
the pen cases of amateurs. These pen
cases, or kalanldans, are the principal
occupation of the miniature painter.
As one-fourth of the male population
of Persia can write, and as each man
has one or more pen cases, the artist
finds constant market for his wares in
their adornment. The pen case is a
box of paper mache eight inches long,
an inch and half broad, and the same
deep. Some of them. painted by artists
of renown, are of great value, f40 be-
ing a common price to pay for such a
work of art by rich amateur. Several
fine specimens may be seen in the Per-
sian collection at the South Kensington
Museum. 1t is possible to spend a
years hard work on the miniatures
painted on pen case. These are very
minute and beautiful. The writer pos
sesses pen case painted during the
lifetime of Futteh Ali Shah, King of
Persia who reigned long and well. All
the faces-none more than quarter of
an inch in diameter are likenesses;
and the long black beard of the King
reaching to his waist, is not exagger-
ated, for such boards are common in
Persia. Mambers's Journal

About Potatoes.

Potatoes are three-fourths water.
The solid matter consists largely of
starch, with a small quantity of albu-
men and mineral matter held in solu-
ton in the juice. The quantity of
starch increases during the Autumn
and remains stationary during the
Winter.
The sprouts in potatoes should be re-
moved as soon as they appear, since if
they are allowed to grow they exhaust
the starch and render the potatoes unfit
for food.
Potatoes should be kept in dry, cool
cellar.
Potatoes belong to the same poison
Gus order as tobacco and nightshade,
and contain an acid juice which is I'M
pleasant to the taste and often renders
them indigestible. This lies in and
near the rind of the potato. and is
drawn out by the heat. When the
potatoes are baked it escapes in the
steam, if they are opened at once, and
when they are boiled it is absorbed by
the water.
New potatoes are watery, as the
starch is not fully formed, and they
have very thin skin, which may be
rubbed or scraped of.
Boiled potatoes should be served as
soon as they are soft, and should be
skinned the moment the heat bursts all
the starch grains-which may easily be
determined by their soft texture when
pierced with fork-else the starch
will absorb water and the potatoes be-
come pasty and unwholesome.
TO prepare the potatoes Ia neige
select potatoes of uniform size; wash
them and scrub them with brush kept
for the purpose;pare them and put them
Immediately in cold water. Put them
into boiling sailed water. allowing one
quart of water and one tablespoonful of
salt for six large potatoes. Cook half
an hour, or until soft, but not until
broken; drain off every drop of the
water. When they are well drained
and mealy beat them thoroughly with
fork, add salt to taste, and serve at
once pied lightly on hot dish. Boston

The Power OF Female Beauty.


1t may be true, as the threadbart
saw has it, that beauty is only Skin
deep, but none will deny that it exerts
wondrous power Graces of minc
and manner sometimes hide flaws ir
face and form, but the stubborn facts
OF history point out that, from time
immemorial, beauty has had the best
of it. Paris and Antony were not proc
against its wilcs, and Fair Helen o.
Troy and Cleopatra still live, while
those once re2owned for truth anf
honor are consigned to oblivion. liz
more modern days the same rule holds
good. The beauties nowadays wielc
the magic seepter with the same po-
tency as of old. Is it strange, then, thai
women should seek by every legitimate
means to look as pretty as possible;
Some Of them will, while engrossed liz
the effort, argue thai it is duty they
owe to society; but, looking down into
their heart of hearts, they will discover
more personal motive-usually man
And the man, loudly decrying any art
used in the makeup of woman, if il
improves the subject will eoncede it &c
be legitimate, and admire accordingly.
Tho dainty devices of dress are along
with other little allurements, laid at his
shrine. Dodge the question as they
may, women dress to appear pleasing
in the eyes of men. Men no longer like
homespun, and women no longer wear
it. Book muslin and blue ribbons are
passe, and '.beauty unadornedn sleeps
with past ages. But while men continue
to be ruined by women's extravaganza
it is only fair that the saddle should be
put upon the right horse. Men admire
the filmy lace and mysteriously shadow
ed velvet as much after marriage as
they did in their sweethearting DAYS,
and, although they may growl when
they come to pay the bills, they submit
to the inevitable. If all the women in
the world would league together to
return to pristine simplicity, and there
should be no SLY, dissenting Eve to don
an extra fig leaf, there would result an
intolerable millennial sameness ;but just
so long as men are enslaved by the
tricks of women's toggery, just so long
will women continue to dress for and at
them.
The sensible will, however, not be
content merely to look pretty She will
realize that if to rosy cheek and
sparkling eye she can add cultured
brain, she will be doubly armed. In
these nineteenth-century days this
weapon is easy to procure. The girls
early education may have been sadly
neglected, but if she has learned to
read intelligently the battle is easy.
With the multiplicity of books there is
no reason why she should not follow
out course of systematic reading,
which will wonderfully develop the
dullest understanding. If. in addition,
she can learn when to talk and when to
listen, so much the better. Humanity
is easily flattered, and there is no form
of fattery SO subtle as Difference to the
words of others. To cultivate all of
the God-given graces is undoubtedly
the kingdom of woman. Meantime,
however, it is quite worth her while to
remember that her strongest point is
beauty, even though it be but skin deep.
