Don't Like Electric Execution.

The Western Electrician defines the
position of most newspapers when it
says: The daily press, as a whole,
:las taken a decided stand against
shat clause of the law providing for
the substitution of electricity for the
halter in New York State, which for
bids the publication of descriptions OF
executions.
District Attorney Fellows of New
York city holds that the provision
is unconstitutional. He says:
Among those whom the sheriff has a
right under the lawt to invite to wit
ness the execution, there is no reason
why newspaper reporters may not be
invited. In fact, they probably will
be present. If they were not invited
what is there to prevent myself or
any one present to recite the facts in
conversation after the execution is
over? To forbid that Ishould recite the
facts would be to forbid free speech.
And furthermore, what does a report
er do but recite the facts to half a
million readers, instead of too group
of friends. Ofcourse. if an Indictment
should be found against an editor OF
q reporter for printing and reporting
the execution, / should be compelled
to prosecute, but in my opinion the
Judge would hold the law to be TN
constitutional, or at any rate the
trial woald not result in a convic-
ton"

Things Worth KnoMning.

J.. That fish may be scaled much
easier by dipping into boiling water
about a minute.
2. That fish may as well be scaled
if desired before packing down in
salt, though in that case do moi
scald them.
3. Salt fish are quickest and best
fIeshened by soaking in sour milk.
4. That milk which is turned or
changed may be sweetened and rem
dered fit for use again by stirring in
a little soda.
5. That salt will curdle new milk,
hence in preparing milk porridge,
GRAVES, &c, the salt should not be
added until the dish is prepared.
6. That fresh meat after beginning
to sour, will sweeten if placed out OF
doors in the cool ofnight.
z. That clear boiling water will
remove tea stains and fruit stains.
Pour the water through the stains
and thus prevent it spreading over
the fabric.
8. That ripe tomatoes will re-
move ink and other stains from
white cloth; also from the hands.
9. That a tablespoonful of tur-
pentine boiled with your clothes will
aid in the whitening process.
10. That boiled starch is much
improved by the addition of a little
sperm or a little salt, or a little gum
arabic dissolved.
IL. That beeswax and salt will
make your rusty fat irons as clean
and smooth as glass. Tie a lump
of wax in a rag and keep it for that
purpose. When the irons are hot,
rub them first with the wax rag, then
scour with a paper Or clothsprinkled
with salt.
II. That blue ointment and kero
sene mixed in equal proportions anc
applied to the bedsteads is an I'M
failing bedbug remedy, and that q
coat of whitewash is ditto for the
walls of a log house.
ID. That kerosene will soften
boots or shoes that have been hard.
ened by water and render them as
pliable as new.
Ia. That kerosene will make tir
tea kettles as bright as new. Satu-
rate a wooden rag and rub with it.
1t will also remove stains from the
clean vanished furniture.
Is. That cool rainwater and soda
will remove grease from washable
fabric.

How a Paper Hanger Removes old Pa.
per.

Early in the morning the paper
hanger and three assistants came in,
each with q whitewash brush and a
bucket of boiling water. "Thisi is the
first move" he said, as they sat down
their buckets and began going over
walls with the brush and hot water.
as though they were whitewas hing.
In a very short time the four dirty
walls were very wet; then the ceiling
went through the same course, and
when it was thoroughly wet they be-
gan peeling off the paper
where they first begun to wet it. 1t
came like strips OF bark from an
sasy-peeling log. When a spots en-
ed not to come off easily it
wet, and left while they worked ut
another part. They soon had it all
off. In making the paste he put a
quarter of IL pound of cornstarch
into a porcelain kettle. mixed it with
a small portion ofcold water, then
added a lump of alum as large as a
cherry, then enough boiling water to
make a thin paste, boiled it a few
moments and removed it. | asked
what the alum was for. "To keep
mice or moths from destroying the
paper around the edges he said.
The paste was put on with a white
wash brush. The first width latter
The paste was put on and the lower
end folded back so that it was light
~ stuck to the edges, with both
wrong sides together, SO that its
weight in lifting it would not tear it,
was lifted up and the top edge held
in place, while a dry whitewash brush
was passed down the centre oft, and
when the folded under part was reach
ed twas unfolded and fastened down
in this same way. Overhead the n
ly change was that an attendant held
one end of t. epaper while the hanger
put it on with the brush. The wall
and ceiling were marked with a
tape measure and chalk, the depth to
be left for bordering, and an accu-
rate measure of length of paper to be
cut was made, making it impossible
to have it either too long or too
short.-Ohio Farmer.

Telegraphing on the Pacific Railroad,

On the San Joaquin trail the dar-
ing engineers who had climbed crag
and precipice to stretch their wires
were outwitted by the long-horned
Spanish cattle that Craze in the val
ley. No timber graced the country
and flies were troublesome. Thecat-
tie were tormented by these winged
pests, and to getrid of them crowded
to the telegraph line. They would
rub against the poles and paw the
earth away from the base. Heavy
poles would be worn out in a few
months, causing frequent Interrupt
ton.
The line could not be fenced in, and
it did not pay to hire vaqueros to
drive away the stock. One of those
brilliant ideas that change the fate
of a nation suggested a cure for the
evil. Spikes were driven in the poles,
and the ends sharpened so asto tick
lie the thick hide of the steers and
keep them away from their daily
pleasure.
The theory wrs good, but it failed
in practice. The cattle actually APP
preciated the change, and brought all
their horned companions from TWEEN
ty miles to enjoy the prickly sensa-
ton produced by the invention. After
this twice as many poles g needed,
and the spike feature was abandoned.

The Hired Man Of Old.

Manchester, N. H., Mirror.
This is the day when the "hired
man" who is engaged to work on a
farm for the season reports for duty,
provided, of course, that there is
| somewhere a farm on which such a
relic of a by-gone age as the hired
man is to be found this year. What
an institution he used to be IN the
days when we were youngl 4 thor
oughbred Yankee; not a drop of i'm
ported blood in his veins; strong and
1.-THE, and active and ~tireless, intelli-
gent, fairly well educated, skilled in
his business, and, as a rule, indus
trious beyond the belief of this ten
hour generation.
From the time he drove his axinto
the woodpile in the door yard on the
LIST of April until the close OF the sea
son, after harvesting, he expected to
work, and he did work, not from sun
to sun, but from dawn to darkness,
and then did the milking and fed the
pigs afterward. His day was four
teen, fifteen, even sixteen hours
long, and it never occurred
to him that it should be
shorter. He was no specialist. He
could do anything. He was smart
with a scythe, handy with ahoe, cute
with a cradle and experienced with
an ak. He knew how much grain
and grass seed were required to the
acre, when grass was fit to cut, and
when It was hayed eroughto ego in"
and he did not need to be told when
to drop turnip seed in the eornfeld.
