A Candidate Steps Down.

Rev. DR.. D. C. Kelley, who recently ac-
cepted the prohibition nomination for gov
ernor of Tennessee and entered upon an
active canvass, has Withdrawn from the
race. This action is the outcome of cor
respondence with Bishop Keener Of the NJ.
E. Church, South. DR.. Kelley was the pas
tor of church of that denomination at Gal
latin, Tenn, and proposed to retain the
pastorate whilst stumping in favor of pro-
hibition, but it is understood Bishop Keen
er objected to this, and so Mr.. Kelley con-
cluded to withdraw, allow the prohibition
party to name another candidate, and de-
vote his time to the duties of his pastorate.

A CURTAIN LEcrURE.-Shall [ ven
ture to tell of some curtains / "con
jured up" few days ago? i have
not yet taken out patent or them,
but am quite sure that nothing like
them has yet been seen. I took a
width Of the best cheese cloth, two and
a half yards in length, and ran hem,
two inches wide across the bottom, in
which | slipped q perfectly straight
strip OF white cardboard nearly the
width of the hem, after having first
starched and ironed the muslin. Then
[ tackled the upper part of the curtain
to the roller, and rolled up all but a
yard OF it. On the lower edge I paint
ed tall grasses, daisies, and cat-tails,
having the design about FIVE inches
deep, and painted in natural colors.
A little way above this border I paint
ed a large spray of daisies.
used the paint very thin. I don't
suppose my curtains will wash, but
they will last long enough to pay for
the work I put on them, since they
are in room which is not used much.
I finished them with an edge of very
deep crochetted lace, which can be
used on other curtains when these are
soiled.
Very pretty curtains are made by
painting crescents on them in blue
and yellow water colors. Use the top
of teacup for pattern for the cres-
cents. These curtains should be hung
from q pole, and caught back on eth
er side of the window in graceful
folds. They have very much the ap.
pearance of the high. priced oriental
curtain goods. For shades get coarse
holland When they are ready to
hang, paint on them q deep Grecian
border all in one color, using any
color that harmonizes nicely.
These hints are not for those who
have plenty Of money to spend on
curtains, but for the housekeepers
who must look at every penny twice
before spending 1.-THE Rousekeeper.
Silver can be kept bright, for
months, by being placed in an air
tight case, with good-sizea piece Of
camphor.
A small box filled with lime, and
placed on a shelf in the pantry or
closet, will absorb dampness and keep
the air in the closet dry and sweet.
Patient, continuous rubbing with
chloroform, will remove paint from
black silk or any other material.
Turpentine is a good preventive
against moths. The unpleasant odor
eyaporates as soon as the garments
are exposed to air.
Scatter sassafras bark among dried
fruit to keep it from becoming wormy.
A little borax in the water used in
washing woodwork, or windows, is a
great help.
To fasten steel blade which has

with rosin, then warm the part to be

it in firmly. Hold till it gets cold.

Reduce boiling water to temperature of

immediatelyin drills. Begin to thin them
out gradually in the fall, and set them
fourteen feet apart in the winter after

We thank our correspondent P. K. w.,
of Lake Kerr, for sending us a copy OF
the Weekly Post New York; of May 8
containing the article GA Substitute for
the Oak" which we reproduce here. The
article is of deep interest and we wish it
may encite many OF our readers to plant
these, and other species of Accacias, for
ornament and grateful shade they afford
if nothing more. For the benefit of any
who may have doubts concerning this
class Of trees thriving here, we copy the
following from an article on Acacias
written by Mr.. e. H. Hart: "And will
they all grow in Florida? Indeed will
they; and with greater luxuriance and
rapidity, perhaps, than elsewhere under
the sum- for the conditions of sandy soil,
shOWery climate, and bright sunshine are
precisely those in which Acacias revel.
No difficulty either in suiting the various
whims or tastes of everybody, since the
varieties are as diverse in size and APP
pearance as are seen in the CANNES and
ophidians OF the animal kingdom. Some
are low shrubs, others immense trees
hundreds of feet high, often furnishing
the most durable timber and precious
gums, like the gumarabic OF commerce,
useful alikein medicine and the arts; and
all are beautiful in leaf and flower" OF
the Black Waffle he writes: Gin California
Acacia decurrens has grown over fifty
feet in eight years, and useful as wind
break, besides being very rich in tannin,
and furnishing,a gum, which exudes copi-
ously wherever a branch is cut, equal to
gumarabic." And of the Silver Waffle
''PIants OF Acacia dealbata thrive admir-
ably in our section. I set out plant a
few inches high, which in five years grew
30 feet, with diameter OF almost afoot."

New Home Treatment.


Sufferers are not generally aware that
these dis eases are contagious, orthat they
are due to the presence of living para
sites in the lining membrane of the nose
and eustachian tubes. Microscopic re-
search, however, has proved this to be
a fact. and the result of this discovery is
that simple remedy has been formula
ted whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafness
and hay fever are permanently cured in
from one to three simple applications
made at home by the patient once in
wo weeks.

or an ointment; both have been discard

A Substitute for the Oak.

MERRY vi Uuo MelUOuIHc 1IAHlUlCIOA AO
says: 'tThe growing scarcity of oak-bark
in the United States, and the substitu-
ton of all sorts of Chemical agencies in
the production of leather, leads us to the
inquiry as to whether other vegetable
products cannot be found to fill it's place.
Till within the past twelve years oak was
Indispensable in ship-building, but iron
has been substituted almost entirely for
it, more especially in vessels driven by
steam. In the ordinary course ofevents,
this should have given some respite to
the oak forests of the United States, but
such is not the case. The growing de-
mand for oaken furniture in the homes of
the rich has so thinned out the timber
that it is soon destined to become as
costly as mahogany or black walnut.
Hence all idea of cultivating oak for tan
ming purposes must be abandoned, as it
is of too slow growth.
"On a recent visit to Australia, where
[ spent over six months in the employ Of
the State Department, it was my good
fortune to come across vegetable pro-
duct which will, in my belief, become a
ready and perfect substitute for the rap
idly vanishing oak OF our own country.
1t is called there the waffle, and belongs
to the widespread family of Acacias.
These trees are cultivated extensively in
the colonies of New South Wales and Vic
toria, where they lend a charm to the
scenery, both by their fragrant blossoms
and exquisite foliaga The two varieties
most cultivated in those colonies are the
black waffle and the broad-leafed waffle.
Both these varieties are indigenous to an
exceedingly dry climate and poor soil,
and attain their growth in about six
years. [ noticed they attained greater
diameter of trunk, and consequently q
greater amount of bark in the moist
localities near the coast, but was told
that the bark grown there contained a
less percentage of fannie acid than that
produced on the arid plains north of Muir
rays River. On my return to the United
States, in January last, ! brought small
quantity of the reeds with me to give to
friends in California, where they are al
ready coming to vigorous and healthy
growth.
''The black waffle acacia decurrens)
produces the larger amount of fannie
acid, and is, therefore, preferred by the
trade in England, where it's market value
fuctuates from $3S to $42 per ton, ac-
cording to the supply in the market. It's
tanning properties may be readily in

readily tanned in bath of liquor made
from black waffle in forty-seven days,
whereas in liquor made from the best
| Santa Cruz oak (the best found in all the
Pacific States) the time required is from
seventy-f five to eighty days. The black
waffle contains from 30 to 80 per cent.
