Finish for q Gun Stock.


! The stocks of guns, as they come
from the stores, are generally oiled or
vanished: one trouble with the first,
is that the first time you are cought in a
rain with the gun, the grain of the wood
will be raised wherever a drop of water
touches it, and it must be smoothed
down and oiled again. With the warn
ish finish, every scratch or mar will
show plainly, and if you try to repair it,
must go over the whole stock with fine
sand-paper, and then revarnish. In Sc
lecting new gun, the quality being the
same, choose the oiled stock to finish
it so that the water will not affect it
and any mar or scratch can be quickly
remedied, take one pint of boiled lin.

rub down with the wooden rag. Three
or four coats thus applied, and rubbed
in, will give the stock finish that will
bring out the grain, fill up the pores Of
the wood. and the more the gun is
handled and rubbed, the brighter the
polish will become. When cleaning
the gun, generally finish with rag

slight scratch if badly scratched, you

Our Country Girls.


Up early in the morning,
Just at the peep of day,
Straining the milk in the dairy,
Turning the COWS away
Sweeping the floor in the kitchen,
Making the beds up stairs,
Washing the break fast dishes.
Dusting the parloI chairs.
Brushing the crumbs from the
pantry,
Hunting for eggs in the barn,
Cleaning the turnips for dinner,
Spinning the stocking yarn
Spreading the whitening linen,
Down on the bushes below,
Ransacking evey meadow,
Where the red Strawberries grow.
Searching the "fixing''.for Sunday,
Churning the snowy cream,
Rinsing the pals and strain err,
Down in the running stream
Feeding the geese and turkeys,
Making the pumpkin pies,
Jogging the little ones cradle,
Driving away the flies.
Grace in every motion,
Music in every tone,
Beauty in form and feature,
Thousands might covet to own
Cheeks that rival spring roses,
Teeth the whitest of pearls
One Of these country maids is
worth

On Saturday, Sep. IL. the Z. S
Sloop of War Swatara, sailed from
New Orleans with $40, 100000 all in
silver coin, to be carried from the
Mint in New Orleans to the Treasury
at Washington. 1t is difficolt to think
of so much of the white metal. TIL
official silver dollar at present, weighs
42l9 grains. There are 1000 grains n
the ordinary pound (avoirdupois) A
pound of silver, therefore, contains al
most exactly SIT. { Actually, it is SIG :
80. and 6 40 mills; or only three
Fights of cent less than SIT to the
pound.) So the silver on the Swatara

How to Preserve Cut Flowers.

An important rule, though seldom
regarded, is never to cram the vases
with flowers many will last if only
they have large mass Of water In
the vase, and not too many stalks to
feed on the water and polute it.
Vases that can hold a large quantity
of water are much TO be preferred to
the spindle-shaped trumpets that are
often used. Flat dishes filled with
wet sand are also useful for short
stalked or heavy headed flowers ev
en- partially withered blooms will re-
vive when placed on this cool, moist
substance. Moss Though far prettier
than sand is to he avoided, as it so
soon smells disagreeably, and always
interferes with the scent of the flow
ers placed in it FOR preservation.
In the case of FLOWERS that grow on.
ly in a cool temperature, and suffer
when they get into warm and dry
air, all that we can do is to lesson
evaporation as much as possible, and
when such flowers have hairy stems
and leaves to submeroe them for a
minute, so that by capillary attract
ion they may continue to keep them
selves moist and cool; but this is
dangerous to table-:loths or polished
surfaces, unless care be taken that
the points Of the leaves do not hang
down to prevent dripping.
Another means of preventing del
icate and sweet-scented flowers from
tagging, is to cut them with several
leaves on the stem. and when the
flower head is placed in water, to al
low only this head to remain above
the water, while the leaves are entire
ly submerged by this means the
leaves seem to help to support the
flower, which will last for three daya
in a fairly cool room. Frequent cut
ting Of the STEM is Of great use but
with all flowers, by far The oest plan
is 20 put them outside exposed 10 dew
or rain, during the night. when they
will regain strength enough to last
on for days. All New Holland plants,
particularly Towering acacias, are
benefited wonderfully by this appar-
ant cruelty, and will even stand a
slight frost far better than a hot room
at night indoors.-Ameracan GARDEN.

A Question for the Doctors,

Every now and then facts come to
light which seem to conflict strangely
with the theories of the doctors. For
instance, at Howdon, dirty, desolate
village on Tyneside, boy was born
who at the time of his birth had the
following extraordinary number of
grandparents and great-grandparents
alive. The grandfather and grand
mother on the fathers side were hearty
and well and SO were both parents of
the grandmother and the mother of the
grandmother. The grandfather and
grandmother on the mothers side were
active and strong and SO were both
parents of the grandmother. The boy
thus had four grandparents and five
great-grandparents alive, each Of whom
was in active work, earning his or her
own livelihood. Yet the village where
these hale and hearty grandsires and
granddames live and flourish is one of
the most unsanitary in England. Open
sewers run down the center of some of
the streets. Until a few years ago. the
water supply was from one shallow
well. Only enc solitary scavenger is
employed on haHlltiihe' for cleansing,
repairing and maintaining Fall the
streets. Houses have been condemned
wholesale as unfit for human habita-
ton, to the intense disgust of the peo-
pie. Yet, notwithstanding all these
adverse conditions, these families live
and thrive. --PaN Nall Ggsetts, ~

A Monkey Fond Of Riding.

Not long ago a gentleman who rath-
er prided himself on very fine stud 81
hunters found that the horses did not
appear properly refreshed by their
nightly rest. One of the grooms, on
being desired to keep a strict watch,
discovered that tame monkey belong
ing to the house was accustomed to ride
on the horses backs almost all night,
preventing them from taking sufficient
rest.
/, His master, on discovering his pencil
ant for riding, and being averse to kill
ing the monkey on account OF his
horsemanship, succeeded in curing him
efectually of his love for horses: The
next time that the hounds met he had
the monkey put into full hunting suit,
and secured by strap to a saddle OF
his most spirited hunter, and took hin,
away to the meet. When the fox was
found the horse pricked up his ears at
the well known sound and started OF
at once. The chase happened to be a
particularly long and severe one, the
monkey, of course, from his light
weight, being far ahead of the legiti-
mate huntsmen.
A countryman who was coming from
the direction the fox had taken was in.
terrogated by some of the sportsmen
who had been thrown out as to the po.
sition of the hunt, and told them thai

master Jocko was in at the death, but
did not by any means appreciate the
honor. After the fox had been killed
there was long ride home again, by
the end of which time the monkey
seemed thoroughly wearied out. After
this experience he was never known to
mount horse again.-Dublia Herald

Everett Not a Magnetic Orator.

Edward Everett was not magnetic
orator, who could sway masses with his
imprisoned words end stirring gest:
ures. His sentences, always carefully
constructed and committed to memory,
were uttered with precision, clearness,
and force. His gestures, though some
times too uniform and measured, were
vet expressive and graceful. His tones
were rich and varied, and his language
was chaste, elegant, and, at times,
poetical. His nature was too fastidi.
Gus, his temperament too cold, his sen.
sitiveness to reproach too keen, his
constitutional reserve too habitual and
repefling, to succeed in those arenas Of
public debate where heavy blows were
given and taken, and where the loud
voice, the rustic manner, the hale-fel-
low sociality and reckless daring had
often more to do with results than the
most exquisite and polished phrases
and a charming voice. In congress ha
failed. He failed not only to acquire
the influence due to his superiority as q
scholar and speaker, but he failed also
in the simplest perceptions of states
manship. He shrank from RESPONSE
bility; he dreaded innovations; he could
not encounter, in bold, manly way,
the hostile sentiment of clique or
party, much less of nation, and he
fell into an almost abject timidity and
irresolution, which was hardly disgnis.
ed under the name of conservatism. He
did not grapple with the great questions
Of the day With any discernment; he
bowed almost obseqdioisly toward the
past and great traditional names; he
trembled like one ignorant and super
stitious before the future. He took
counsel rather of his apprehensions
than of his conscience.-Ben. Perley
