Powders Adapted for Work Which Re-
quires Careful Handling.
Prepared chalk and crocus are some
times used as polishing agents. The
former is manufactured by adding a
solution of carbonate of soda to a So
luton of chloride of calcium, so long
as precipitate is thrown down. Both
solutions should be carefully filtered
through paper before being mixed and
dust should be strictly excluded.
The white powder which falls down
is carbonate of lime. or chalk, and
when this is carefully washed and
dried it forms most excellent polish
ing powder for the softer metals. The
particles, though exceedingly small,
appear to be crystalline, for they pol
ish smoothly and quickly, though they
seem to wear away the material SO
little that it's form or sharpness is not
injured to any perceptible degree.
Another good polishing powder is
crocus or rouge 1t is made by taking
crystals of sulphate of iron (green
vitrol or copperas) direct from the
cystalizing vessels, if possible. so as
to have them very clean, and instantly
putting them into crucibles or cast-iron
pots and exposing them to heat. The
smallest particle of dust should not be
allowed to get mixed with the crystals,
as it would have a tendency to scratch
the articles to be polished.
Those portions which are least cal
cined and are of scarlet color are fit to
make rouge for polishing gold and
silver, while those which are calcined
or have become red purple Or plush
purple form crocus fit for polishing
brass or steel Of these, the plush
purple colored parts are the hardest
and are found nearest to the bottom of
the vessels, and consequently have been
exposed to the greater degree of heat.

How to Fill the SiIo.

When the whole work is slapped
right into the silo, all the work of
husking, carting to mill, grinding,
carting back to the farm and feeding
out the meal is avoided. and it is not
any more work to put up the ensilage
in this way than it is where only the
stalks alone are ensilaged. Of course
ensilage made from field corn, with the
ears on, will have much higher feed
ing value than if the grain were
separated If the crop is put in the
silo before the kernels and cobs be-
come hard. they will be softened up so
that every bit will be eaten, especially
If cut into half-inch lengths, more or
less. Isn't this the handiest way OF
utilizing the corn crop, all things con-
sideredP Nor do we see why as good
results should not be obtained as by
the old plan of separating the ears and
feeding the grain in the form of clear
corn-meal or cob-meaL Western farm
ers who have practiced this method
think they get fully as good results as
where the dry meal is fed separately.

BUILDING A HOME.
Sanitary Conditions That Should BE Pre-

Sanitary Conditions That Should BE Pre-
served at All Hazards.
Presuming that a location has been
selected, with a special view of ar
rangement of cesspools, wells, cisterns
and out-houses, which should flow
down and away from the foundation of
the house, and which should at no
time flow toward you from neighbor-
ing dwellings, the greatest thing then
to consider Is to preserve sanitary con-
ditions. 1t seems somewhat superfiu-
Gus to warn one against keeping de-
cayed vegetables in the cellar, but
there are thousands who, through sheer
neglect, invite weekly and daily germs
of infectious disease through this most
common of household evils. In the
cellar. above ali places, plenty of fresh
air should be admitted. There is hard
~ housekeeper, no matter how Wig
orously the reader may resent this i'm
putation, who is entirely free from the
charge of shiftlessness. Wherever re-
fuse bits of food are left to mold,
plate left unwashed, wash cloth
uncleansed, and even where fresh milk,
meat or other foods are left uncovered
in living rooms or bed rooms, there
disease will propagate, not instantly,
understand me, in a virulent, venom
Gus form, but insiduously the impuri-
ties arising from the slowly decompos-
ing matter will leave their effect upon
all inhailing the air of the apartment
impregnated by the rising gases.
Many houses are now built to rent or
sell, and constructed in the most fiimsy
manner. The mere advertisement that
house is furnished with the most APP
proved sanitary appliances should not
be considered as a sufficient guarantee.
The cellar should be visited. If its
walls are cracked, damp or colored
with mold, if water stands upon its
floor, and if light and ventilation are
not provided for, seek some other hab-
itation. OF course newly-constructed
walls are always damp until seasoned
by time. A great amount of water is
used in the mortar and plastering, and
much of this must evaporate before the
building is fit for occupancy. Neither
should a house freshly painted with
lead paints be occupied until the paint
is well dried. The living rooms should
be placed on the sunny, airy side of the
house, and the bed rooms 7examined

NEGROES IN JAMAICA.

Their Habits, Work, Accomplishments and
Social Standing.
They are lazy and accomplish little,
so that it is necessary to have small
retinue of domestics in each household,
each undertaking only his own special
work. As they require small wages
and feed themselves, this makes less
difference in the expense than one
would imagine. They can rarely be
trusted to work out of doors alone, as
they. stop work as soon as the masters
back is turned. In cutting down cane,
clearing ''bush," planting coffee, or
gathering pimento party of men and
boys is put under the charge of ''head
man." who keeps them together. This
is called driving gang" The
overseer on a plantation or sugar
estate is called "busha.'' Most
of the negroes can read and write, and
they take their prayer-books to church
and follow the service devoutly. The
service in many churches is choral,
and the effect of their falsetto voices in
chant or response is startling. Some
of the mulattoes and quadroons are
well educated, having been sent to En-
land for the purpose. l heard mulat-
to preach at the cathedral at Spanish
Town, who wore the Oxford hood over
his English-cut surplice and long black
cassock, whose sermon would have done
credit to a London divine. The negroes
in the hills are much less enlightened,
however, than their lowland brethren,
and are very credulous and supersti-
tieus. They have firm belief in
-'duppees, or ghosts, and repair pri7
vately to old ''obi men" for charms
and tricks" of all sorts. ..Obeah
practice" is kind of withcraft, still
secretly kept up, though forbidden by
lnw. 1t has been handed down
through many generations, and is said
to be traceable to the gold coast slaves.
They have also singular burial GUS
toms. such as having kind of a wake
for nine nights after the death of
friend A corpse in Jamaica is usual
ly buried within twelve hours after
death, and the grave is often dug and
the coffin made before death occurs.
Sometimes the negroes dispense with a
coffin altogether. merely wrapping the
body in a sheet for burial. The soil is
so rocky that it is impossible to dig the
grave more than two or three feet deep.
They, therefore, build over it round
ed erection of stone and mortar to keep
the collins from being washed up in
the rainy season. A small square of
slate, with name and Inscription, is put
on the top. These are whitewashed
about once a year. Sometimes they
are square, with fat slab on the top,
such as we often see in our own ceme-
teries.-

-Hasty pudding or corn-meal dough-
nuts are made of corn-meal scalded
and little salt added; then shape with
the hand half an inch thick and as
large around as small biscuit, and
fry in lard.
1t is often a loss to allow cows TO
range over a large space of short past
ure to satisfy their appetites, and it
would be an actual saving to keep them
up and feed them when pastures get too
short.
-''Sometimes a new shoe will press
so closely upon a tender joint that great
discomfort results. Try wetting bit
of flannel in hot water, and laying it
across the tight place. Do this several
times and the leather will stretch to
the shape of your foot. "-Homsehold.
-Marmalades of peach and ounce,
says Good Housekeeping, are made by

In order to have your children in
terested in farm work you must give
them an interest in its products. Boys
or girls who have piece of land, or
few chickens, swine, sheep, or other
creatures, that they can call their own
and enjoy the profits of, will take
vivid interest in farming. And as the
years go on, the interest which the
young people will take in the farm will
be in proportion to the interest they
have in the profits.
Nodded Graham: Make mush by
stirring graham flour slowly into boil
ing water; it must not be too thick;
cook ten minutes, using the mush stick
as little as possible. Then stir in a
few spoonfuls of milk or cream, and
also a cup of fresh dates, cook two
minutes longer, taking care not to
scorch in the bottom. Pour into a
mold or cups wet with cold water, and
set it away till cold.
-Spiced Beef: For round weighing
twenty pounds, rub with a desert
spoonful of saltpeter, on both sides,
and let it remain over night.
Then take a soup-plateful of salt, IA
tablespoonful of ground cloves, one of
allspice, and one of cayenne pepper.
Rub the beef every day with table
spoonful of it, until it is used. and turn
each day. Boil it in nearly enough
water to cover it. Eat cold, cut in
thin slices.
The season of haying and harvest
taxes the strength of the good wife,
and calls for consideration and assist
ance from the head of the house. The
inventor has come to the rescue of
man, and the horse and machine does
about all the muscular work of these
busy seasons, but inventive genius has
halted at the door of the house, and
the wife works ON in the old way. with
few exceptions. The husband may,
therefore, very appropriately expend
some of the muscle once used in swing
ing the scythe or cradle, in carrying
in the wood, drawing the water, or
rocking the baby.

GERMANIZED ENGLISH.

Austrian Merchants.

Funny Circulars Sent Out by German and
Austrian Merchants.
The Germans in their own country
are great reachers after trade and send
out business letters, price-lists and cir
culars in profusion to foreign coun-
tries. They either themselves translate
their communications into the language
of the people who are to receive them
or employ some one to do it for them,
and frequently some one who knows
not much more of the language to be
used than do they. The idioms of
their own language, as well as its
peculiar sequence of the words in a
sentence, is carefully followed, and the
result is frequently very funny. Many
of these German merchants seem to
prefer that peculiar style. and when
ever the meaning is perfectly intel
ligible the idea is nota bad one, for the
recipient can not fail to read the cir
cular or other communication just be-
cause of its ,oddity. Sometimes, how
ever. the meaning can not be decipher-
ed without a key Several instances
of this queer translation into English
are given by huhtosC's, itself n weekly
