Clues for Many Purposes.

Soak half a pound of glue over
night in a quart of good milk, and
boil it the next day, it will dis
solve moisture much better than
glue dissolved in water.
An adhesive mucilage for labels,
suitable for bottles, may be prepar-
ed by soaking glue in strong vinegar
then heat to boiling and then add
flour. This is very adhesive, and
does not decompose when kept in
wide mouthed bottles.
The following preparation is very
useful for cumming large sheets of
paper, which may be kept on hand
ready for use when wetted they will
stick well on glass Starch, two
drains, white sugar, one ounce,
gum arabic, two drains, to be boiled
with a sufficient quantity of water

Girls Toilet Articles.

A sensible girl will not keep lot
of cosmetics and drugs on her toilet
table, but there are few articles she
should always have in a convent
ent place. She should have an ar
ray of glass stopped bottles contain
ing alcohol, alum, camphor, borax,
ammonia and glycerine or vaseline.
A little camphor and water may be
used as a wash for the mouth and
throat if the breath is not sweet.
Powdered alum applied to a fever
sore will prevent it from becoming
very unsightly and noticeable. In
sect stings or eruptions on the skin
are removed by alcohol. A few
grains of alum in tepid water will
relieve people whose hands pres
pire very freely, rendering them I'M
pleasantly moist. A few drops of
sulphuric acid in the water are also
beneficial for this purpose, and are
also desirable for those whose feet
prespire freely. We would always
recommend care in the use of scent
ed soap in many cases the perfume
is simply disguise for poor quail
ity. A good glycerine or honey
soap is always prefereble.l Ofcourse
one may rely on scented soap from
a high class manufacturer, but it
costs more than it is worth. In adj
dition to the soap for bathing, white
CASTLE should be kept for washing
the hair. Occasionally a little bor-
ak or ammonia may be used for this
purpose, but it is usually too harsh
in its effects.

Small Talk.

Small talk is the small change of life
there is no getting on without it. There
are times when a little nonsense is very
palatable, and gravity and sedateness
ought to be kicked down stairs. A phil
osopher cut poor figure in the ball
room unless he leaves his wisdom at
home. We have met with men who
were too lofty for small talk. They
were above making such trihing, in
other words, they were above making
themselves agreeable above pleasing, and
above being pleased. The world is made
up of trihes, and he who can trife ele-
gantly and gracefully is valuable ac-
QUESTION to mankind. He is Corin-
THAN column in the fabric of society,"

The Goose-BOne Virgins.

The foreshadowing of the approaching
winter as it is read from the dots and
the lines on the goose bone, is not a
cheerful story. The bone is dark at both
ends, which indicates a long winter.
The goose from whose bone this study
was taken was Matched in April and kill
ed after the ides ofSepte mber. The bone
is wonderfully marked The dots and
breves and lines mingle all along the
keel, thus indicating very changeable
weather, but the breves mostly turn
down and are heavy, showing that the
general character of the winter will be
falling, cold weather, Aswil be seen by
the table, the danger period is longer for
November than any other month, rum
ming from the 10th to the end, with the
most severe weather falling between the
20th and 2Gth, and at any time within
this period clustering SHOWS and un-
seasonably cold weather may be looked
for.
The first danger period in December
extends from the LIST TO the 9Th, after
which there will probably be few days
of sunshiny weather. The heaviest
storm period of the month centres in
the Christmas holidays, beginning on the
18th and passing to the 9th. At the
opening of the holidays we will have
very foul and probably some ofthe cold
est weather Of the season, and these cold
lines run along the bone until about the
middle of January. Watch this period
but above all prepare for it, 1t is more
than probable that the earth will be COW
cred with snow when Christmas dawns
and that n cold North wind will be blow
ing, so that Christmas fires will have to
be bright and big for comfort. The oath
and 25th of December will be the dark
est storm days of the month. On the
bone all indication of wet, cold and
stormy weather meet about that time.
1t is Il curious clustering of bad signs,
such as is seldom seen on the bone, and
mixture of weather may be loo ked for
with wet and cold predominating.
The new year will come in cold and
clear, with the first danger period com
mencing on the 4th. There are three
storm periods in this month, the second
commencing about the 18th and the last
one about the 23d Of the month. The
dots that appear on the bone up to the
middle Of the month are heavy, from
about the 10th to the 10th especially so,
and during this period very cold wealth
er may be looked for. During Deem
Der and January the mercury will fire.
quently be below zero, probably remain
ing there for days, and if there should
be low stage Of water in theriver there
be danger of freeze over.
For February short storm periods run
all along the bone, and the general char
acter of the month will be stormy and
clustering, with some very cold days at
the first of the month and again at the
close. These severe spells and continu-
ell cold weather will keep the ice and
the snow in the mountains, and the first
spring month will be as hoary as old
winter. As the bone ends very dark, it
is very probable to break ground, and all
kinds of vegetation will be very late in
getting start. 1t will not be safe to put
things in the ground too soon, as such a

A Pottsville Man Robbed.

George w. Loeser, of Pottsville'

He carried it on his person and
unfortunately during the night ex-

time after midnight, as he was going
home, he was sandbagged and rob-
bed of $4,000. He kept the matter
quiet, hoping to trace the robbers
himself, but so far has not succeed

day and a half; was deer hunting two
days, and killed three. Among the lot
Is one Of the finest bucks in the county,
which we shipped home on the r. & D.
Railroad. We are about thirty miles
from Petersburg on the Appotomatox
River. The deer here are as thick as
sheep. We had them going in all direc-
ton. A man can shoot to his heart con-

Exposition, at Richmond. 1t is certainly
a grand affair does credit to the State,
