TEN GOOD THINGS TO KNOW.

L
l That salt will curdle new milk
hence, in preparing milk porridge, gra.
vies, etc, the salt should not be added
until the dish is prepared.
2. That clear boiling water will re-
move tea stains and many fruit stains
Pour the water through the stain and
thus prevent its spreading over the fab
ric.
3. That ripe tomatoes will remove ink
and other stains from white cloth, also
from the hands.
4. That a tablespoonful of turpentine
boiled with white clothes will aid in the
whitening process.
5. That boiled starch is much i'm
proved by the addition of little sperm
salt or gum arabic.
8. That beeswax and salt will make
rusty fiat irons as smooth as glass
Tie lump of wax in bag and keep il
for that purpose. When the irons are
hot rub them first with the wax rag,
then scour them with a paper or cloth
sprinkled with salt.
T. That blue ointment and kerosene
mixed IN equal proportions and applied
to the bedsteads is an unfailing bedbug
remedy, as coat of whitewash is for the
walls of a log house.
8. That kerosene will soften boots OF
shoes that have been hardened by water
and render them as pliable as new.
9. That kerosene will make tin tea
kettles as bright as new. Saturate q
woolen rag and rub with it. 1t will also
remove stains from vanished furniture
TO- That cool rain water and soda will
remove machine grease from perishable
fabrics.

Good qualities are the substantial rich

THE TEACHER.

If as Teacher, wise, and strong, and great,
Into my life, then, you had come that day,
And bade me listen as TO who should say
Things grand and sweet TO help me bear my fate,
Full well know had refused to wait,
And from your side darted quick away,
Not over eager at your feet to lay
Homage for which all asking comes too late.
But listening you came, with eager eyes
Seeming to bend your head to catch my thought;
And straightway in my heart did there arise
Things brave and sweet 10 meet yours so inwrOughl
With yours know not, in the swift surprise,
Which was the Teacher, which the humbly taught

IT is rather interesting to learn from
the Indianapolis Journal that, while that
organ of the administration does not wish
"to raise false expectations " there is a
hope that President Harrison will visit

is certainly founded upon justice. As
Indianapolis has visited the President at

THE MOONS SHADOW.

From Prof. Todd's article in the Au-
gust Century entitled "How Mans Mes
senger Outran the Moon," we quote the
following:
The moons actual motion in her
circumterrestrial path is in the neigh
borhood of two thousand miles in each
hour of time. The velocity is somewhat
greater than that of projectiles from the
best rifled guns; but these can often be
seen throughout their whole flight. Ev-
identity the moons motion, also, is not
too great to be seen. And it can be
seen if all conditions favor the observer.
Averaging period of some decades,
there are in three years two opportuni-
ties when this spectacle may be seen:
they occur only at such times as the
moon passes between the earth and the
sun and causes a total solar eclipse
But even then it is not strictly correct
to say that the moon can be seen trav-
cling through space.
At the time OF such an eclipse, how
ever, the moons dark shadow sweeps
over the earth with nearly the same We
locity as the moon herself travels; and
it is this swiftly flying shadow which
the alert observer may see.
This imposing spectacle has frequently
been beheld, but rarely unless from an
elevation commanding vast extent.
Often, however, expert observers fail to
see the almost tangible shadow, even
when specially on the lookout for it.
Not strange is it, therefore, that diff
ferent eyes report so impressive phe-
nomenon differently. To some the shad-
ow seen in the distance resembled
dark storm upon the horizon. Some saw
the shadow "visible in the air; one
speaks of its "gliding swiftly up over
the heavens;" while another likens its
passage to the "lifting of dark cur
tain"
Those who have taken pains to note
its color do not generally call it black,
but deep violet, or dark brown. One
describes it as ''wall of fog" another
as "vaporous shadow" third said it
was "like neither shadow nor vapOr,"
while no less careful observers than
Winnecke and Lady Airy speak of the
shadow as appearing like smoke"
From their stations high above the
valley of the Ebro, over which it swept,
members of the Himalaya Expedition of
1860 had exceptional opportunities for
watching the approach and recession of
the shadow. Many observers saw it
"When the critical moment was at
hand" says one, 'the darkness, sweep
ing over landscape twenty or thirty
miles in extent and advancing right at
me, was in the highest degree sublime
and imposing" Then and on other oc-
casions it was very distinctly seen.
So much for the appearance of the
shadow; but more interesting here is its
speed.
While observers generally remark the
"frightful velocity" with which it trav-
els, President Hill of Harvard, in Hi
nois in 1860, found the transit of the
shadow much slower, and more majestic
and beautiful than he had been led to
expect. ga sweeping upward and east
ward of a dense violet shadow" are
his words.
General Abbot, ascending Mount Ht-
ma in 1870, wrote: "At an elevation of
$500 feet l was overtaken by the shad-
ow, which swept with great rapidity
over us, darkening the gloom to an awe
inspiring degree"
