What Salt Is Good for.

When you give your cellar its spring cleaning add little copperas water and salt to the whitewash.
 Sprinkling salt on the tops and at the bottoms of garden walls is said to keep snails from climbing up and down.
 For relief from heartburn or dyspepsia drink a little cold water fin which has been dissolved q teaSpOOnful of salt.
 Ink stains on linen can be taken out If the stain is first washed in strong salt and water and then spOnged with lemon juice.
 For stains on the hands nothing Is bet ter than a little salt, with enough lemon juice 10 moisten it, rubbed on the spots and then washed of in clear water.
 In basin of water, salt, of course, falls to the bottom: so never soak salt nsh with the skin side down, as the salt will fall 10 the skin and remain there.
 The very simple remedy of common salt has cured many cases of fever and ague A teaspoonful taken in water, and a teaspoonful deposited in each stocking, next to the foot, as the chill is coming on This comprises the whole of the treat ment.
 For weeds fin pavementS or gravel walks, make strong brine of coarse sat- and boiling water; put the brine in sprinkling can and water the weeds thor oughly, being careful not to let any of the brine get on the grass. or it will kill il too
 If Q chimney or flue catch on fire, close all windows and doors first, then hang blanket in front of the grate to exclude ali air. Water should never be poured down the chimney, as 1t spells the carpets. Coarse salt thrown down the hue is much better

Japan, Sacred Mountain.

And back of all tlis, from the middle of a range of small surrounding hills, there rises to a height of over l3,OO0 feet the snow crowned and gracefully rounded oil summit of Mount Fusiyama, the peerless mountain of the Land of the Rising Sun, without a representation of which no Japanese picture is considered perfect. Take all the fans and screens which are yearly sent from Japan 10 the United States, and nine out of every ten of them will be found to contain & representation of this-to the Japanese-sacred noun tain. It is a grand sight, though rising, as il does. almost to the clouds, with not A companion mountain TOT hundreds of miles. and we cannot blame the Japs for regarding 1t with reyerent superstition. If is quiet now, but from the frequency of the earthquakes with which Japan Is troubled We may rest assured that the mighty giant is only slumbering, and may at any time awake in anger and repeat the terrible eruption of l'O1, when it laid waste the entire country round about, and WAS accornpanied by an earthquake which shook down the greater part of the city of Yedo now Tokio), burying thousands of the poor inhabitants under b ruins.- Ter nsIrim0re E,u.-

A Baby at n Matinee.

A baby entertained Wednesday matinee audience at Broadway theatre. The play bad failed, and fewer than a hundred per sons were there to see it The performers had accepted the verdict of rejection by the public, and were disposed to gag and guy. The one comedian in the company who had been able to make any fun with bis role was incapacitafed by illness, and had to be omitted much of the time IL was a dOleiul occasion. A farce with hardly any audience to laugh at it is exceeded in gloom only by one which cannot provoke a smile ou one out Uf hundred faces. No mental barometer could have measured tho depression of spirits in the auditorium, but it was, nevertheless, much less there than on the stage. When it was at its worst an infant escaped from it's possibly slumbering mother. toddled lonssom-ly down the aisle, steadied itself at the orchestra rail, got it's first impression of thunder right from he blaring mouth of big bugle, and fell backward with a vail of horror.
