To remove ink stains from the hands
without injury to the skin the following
hints should be observed There are two
sorts Of inks, those known as iron inks and
the aniline inks. Iron inks are removed by
oXalic acid and aniiue inks by solution of
chloride of lime. The former is better.
The same may be applied to clothing; but
as soon as the solutions are applied and tile
stain removed always Immediately mmcrse
them in cold water and thoroughly rinse
Iron and aniline ink stains may he distin.
guished from one another BY staining
piece of cloth with the ink in question. If
oXalic acid does not remove it, il is aniipe

A Butter Test.
PHILADELPHIA Times.


"By that means l convince my customers
that l don't sell nleomargarine, said a
white-apron"d butterman, pointing to two
china sauce-boats that stood III a conspicuous
place on his counter in the Farmers Market.
In each sauceboat lay little coil ofcommon
lampwick, one end of which was hung out of
the nose of the vessel. "Now," said the
dealer, pointing to two tirkins, zone of these
contains oleomargarine made in Connecticut
and the other holds salt packed butter from
Ohio. See if you can detect the genuine
from the imitation" The reporter tried
and failed. In flavor smell and appearance
they were Identical
The butterman continued: THAT oleo-
margarine will deceive nine buyers out of
ten, but | will expose it for you" He
dropped a lump of the oleomargarine as
large as an egg into Il tin cup and in another
cup be placed similar sized piece Of the salt
packed. The cups were held over blazing
little charcoal furnace until their contents
were melted. Then the oleomargarine was
poured in one sauce-boat and the butter
into the other. The wicks were lighted
Both burned readily aud the burning butter
sent up faint and pleasant smoke. From
the oleomargarine, however, came the nasty
unmistakable stencil Of burning rancid
grease. "Since began showing the diff,
erenee between butter and oleomargarine, -
said the dealer as he snulfed out the wicks,
my business has doubled.''-

the royal naval college Of England for Especial
course. He was appointed assistant naval
constructor July |, 1888. He was to graduate
from the royal college this year. Those who
know him think 1t impossible that failure or
prospective failure TO graduate could have
been the cause of his suicide, as his excsp.
