Household Hints.

A little saltpeter OF carbonate Of
soda mixed with the water in which
flowers are placed will keep them fresh
for two weeks.
A good polish for removing stains.
spots and mildew from furniture is
made as follows: Take half a pint of
90 per cent. alcohol; quarter of an
ounce each of pulverized resin and gum
shellac: add half-pint of linseed oil;
shake well and apply with brush or
sponge.
Good housekeepers are frequently
annoyed by oil marks on papered walls
against which careless or thoughtless
persons have laid their heads. These
unsightly spots may BIZ removed by
making a paste of cold water and pipe
clay or fuller's earth, and laying it on
! the surface without rubbing it on, else
/ the pattern of the paper will then
likely be injured. Leave the paste on
all night. In the morning it can be
brushed off, and the spot will have
disappeared; but renewal of the
operation may be necessary if the oil
mark is Old.

ADaiIy DefaIcation.

ne Hon. John Kelly, the head and front
OF Tammany Hall, man OF strict integrity,
an interchangeable worker early at his Office,
late to leave, so burdened with business that
regular meals were seldom known by him,
with mind in constant tension and energies
steadily trained, finally broke down.
The wonder is that he did not sooner give
way. An honest man in all things else, he
acted unfairly with his physical resources.
He was ever dawing upon this bank without
sver depositing collateral The account
overdrawn, the bank suspends and both are
now in the hands Of medical receivers.
1t Is not work that kills men, II is irregu-
larity Of habits and mental worry. No man
In good health frets at his work. Bye and
bye when the bank Of vigor suspends, these
men will wonder how it all happened and
they will keep wondering until their dying
day unless, perchance, some candid physician
or interested friend will point out to them
how by irreguarity, by excessive mental
effort, by constant worry and fret, by plung-
ing in deeper than they had right to go,
they have produced that loss Of nervous en-.
ergy which almost invariably expresses itself
in deranged condition of the kidneys and
liver, for it is well known fact that the
poison which the kidneys and liver should
remove from the blood, IL left therein, soor
knocks the life out Of the strongest ~; most
vigorous man or woman. Daily bualing ur
Of these vital organs by so ~on1erful and
highly reputed specific as Warmers safe
cure, is the only guarantee that our business
men can have that their strength will b.
equal to the labors daily put upon them.
Mr.. Kelly has nervous dyspepsia, we learn
nerve force His case should be warning II
others, who, pursuing like course, will Ger
tainly reach like result.-The Sunday Her

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Repeated manur,ns No, Needed.

The impracticable advice is ooca-
sionally given not to apply all the ma
nure when a crop is planted, lest it
should be wasted, but to dole 1t out in
doses as it seems to he needed. Most
kinds of manures are not so evanescent
in their effects as this suggestion inn
plies. If applied in the Spring, there
is little or no loss except the plant
food used before Fall. A moments
reflection would show the impractica-
bility of manuring growing crop
even once In a season on large scale.
1t would not pay, if it were practica-
BILE. How wagons and teams could be
driven through growing field of corn
even once without injury is question
hard to answer. A little manure dis
trlbuted by hand would not amount to
enough to pay the trouble. The better
way is to manure heavily before plant
ing. Then with hoed crops even cul'
tivation through the season makes the
manure more available, and is in ef
feet the same as adding to its guam
tity. After a crop is planted, cultiva
tion will answer every purpose CT ma
nuring. If it does not, the fact only
shows that the field was not in The
right condition to be planted. Guilt

A CARGO OF SILVER COIN.
The ovorstocked Mint at New Orleans
TO Be Relieved.

Secretary Manning has decided upon the re-
in the mint at New Orleans, the capacity OF
which is altogether inadequate TO the demands
upon II, us the amount OF silver constantly in
crcases, This silver, which weighs nearly 400
tons, is to be removed to Washington, where
there is ample room for its storage,
Secretary Mannmg's first thought is tho
statesmanlike ono OF how best to subserye tho
interests OF the people aud save money to the
country, lie sees several of our memo war
iully manned and equipped, but with nothing
particular to do. lie has, therefore, had a
man-ol-war detailed for the work of transport.
Ing the silver, and tho Swatara, with Com
mander Wiltse, that ship which performed
such admirable service during the recent
troubles in Central America, will sail from New
York for New Orleans to undertake the task,
The Swatara is now lying at the Brooklyn
Navy lurd. All the shells and powder to-
gether with the torpedo gun, have been re-
moved, leaving 400 cubic feet in wifi h the
cargo is to BIO stored. The boxes in which tho
silver will DO placed number 25OO, and they
with n depth OF about eight inches.
The Swatara will steam to New Orleans,
stopping at Key West for coal Upon her
arrival there tho work Of taking on board the
treasure will DO begun. She may not take
more than 81 900 5000 worth, and may have
tho assistance Of the Yantic, u smaller man. Of
war in the work. Tho Swatara will tako on
1900 cubic leet Of the metal, which will pretty
nearly fill her up. Tho Swatara would DO a
ricl, haul for some modern and enterprising
Capt, Kidd, but rs she is heavily armed the
probabilities are that he would be blown out OF
the water first, AT New Orleans the Swatara
will bc boarded by Messrs, huffman, Forsyth

Grant as a Horse.Tamer.

General Longstreet, in speaking OF the
Mexican war era OF the lifo OF General
Grant to representative of the New
York Sun, said
While We remained in Corpus Christi
an incident illustrating Grants skill and
fearlessness rs a horseman occurred, The
Moxioans were In the habit of bringing
In wild horses, which they would sell fol
two or three dollars. Those horses came
near costing more than one officer his
liio. One day particularly furious ami.
nal was brought in. Every officer in the
camp'had declined to purchase the ami,
NAL, except Grant, who declared that no
would either break the horses neck or
his own. He had tho hcrse blindfoldcd,
bridled aud saddlcd, and when firmly in
the saddle he threw of tho blind, sunk
his spurs into tho horses tanks, and was
soon out of sight. For three hours no
rode tho aaimal over q kinds ofground,
through field and stream, and when
horse and rider returned to camp the
horse was thoroughly tamod. For year.
afterward the story of Grants ride was
nnlcted at every camp fire in the country.

CHOLeRA'S PROGRESS.
Laxity of Marsciiies Officials - Cases In
Spain.


A Marseilles dispatch says; Tho cholera
panic increases daily. The average of depar-
lures from Marseilles by railway alone has
already increased 1000 per day. AS an in
stance of the laxness with which the Marseilles
sanitary authoritie' perform their duties, the
case of the captain of an English vessel lying
in this port may be mentioned. The captains
daughter died of cholera aboard tho ship. He
ut once notified the authorities and requested
distinction Of the vessel. Thirty hours
have elapsed since tho girls death and no
official action has as yet been taken concern.
ing the event by the Marseilles authorities.
There we've 4567 new cases of cholera and
1929 deaths from the disease reported through
ont Spain in one day.
A Paris dispatch says: Gen. de Courcy tele-
graphs as follows: We have fixed our head
quarters at Haphong during the presence of
cholera. There We're II deaths from cholera in
one day at llaiphong, and &c persons are down
with the disease We have II large number of
volunteer nurs to care for the sick. There
is an excellent feeling among the troops.
A dispatch from Madrid sys The number
of cholera cases has greatly increased. In this
city, so new cases and Is deaths, and in the
province II new cases and So deaths were re-
loted in one day. Travellers in many DISTRICTS
are quarantined Tor periods OF from five to 20
days, and undergo great hardship, being lodged
i'll barns or in the open mir, and suffering from
lack of food. Some villages are strictly colo
nizcd, trenches having been cut TO stop travel
on The roads, AMI the villagers threatening
strangers and compelling them to leave. The
government has ordered the governors of pris.
oncrs to suppress laznrettos, but the governors
are in many instances powcrlcs' to carry out
the orders,
