Facts Worth Knowing.

For faded green blinds, rub on
q little linseed oil.
Put bits of camphor gum in
trunks or drawers to prevent the
mice from doing any injury
To freshen leather chair seats,
valises, bags, etc, rub them with
the well beaten white of an egg.
To prevent tin pans from rust
ing, rub fresh lard on them, and
set in hot oven until thoroughly
heated.
Soak clothes, that fade, over night
in water in which has been dissolv-
ed one ounce of sugar of lead to a
pailful of rain water.
When washing fine white fan
nels, add tablespoonful of pulver-
lied borax to a paiful of water.
This will keep them soft and white.
To Danish red ants from the pan
tries, strew whole cloves around
the shelves. The same is also con-
sidered good moth eXterminator
TO keep flat-irons clean and
smooth, rub them with piece of
wax done up in cloth, then scour or
rub them on paper strewn with
coarse salt.
Oil of turpentine, or benzine,
will remove spots of paint or var
nish from cotton or wooden goods.
They should be washed in soap
suds after the application.
If paint has been spattered on
window paines, wet the spots with
water and rub thoroughly with a
new silver dollar or they may be
washed with hot, sharp vinegar.
To set delicate colors in embroid-
cred handkerchiefs, soak them ten
minutes before washing in pail of
water in which a dessertspoonful
of turpentine has been stirred.
When a stove is cracked, a cement
made of woodashes and salt, in
equal proportions, mixed to paste
with cold water. Fill the cracks
with this when the stove is cool,
and it will soon harden.
When mattresses are stained, take
starch wet with cold water.
Spread this on the stains, first put
ting the mattress in the sun. In
an hour or or two rub this off, and
if not clean, repeat the process.

A QUESTION.
WILLIAM II. BUSHNELL.

WILLIAM IL. BUSHNELL
As Annie was carrying the baby one day,
Tossing aloft the lump of inanlty,
Dear to its father and mother no doubt,
To the rest of the world mere lump oi
humanity,
sam came along, and was thinking, may be
Full as much of Annie ms she of the baby.
"Just look at the baby,p cried Ann in a
flutter,
Giving its locks round her finger a twirl;
"1f was man know l couldn't
Be keeping my hands or II dear little
girl;"
And sam gave me wink, as If to say,
MAY be,
OF the girls I'd rather hug you than the
baby."
"Now kiss it, "she cried, still hugging it
closer.
ats mouth like the roses the honey bee
sips"
sam stopped to obey, and as heads came to-
gether,
There chanced to arise n confusion of lips.
And rs it occur ed It might have been, may
be
That each got kiss, Sam, Ann and the
baby.
It's hard to tell what just then was the
matter,
For the babe was the only one innocent
there,
And Annie flushed up like full blown
peony,
While Samuel turned red to the roots of
his hair.
SO the question Is this-you can answer,
may be-
Did Annie kiss Sam, or did both kiss the
baby?

Magnetism, Heat and Iron.


1t is now pretty widely known that
iron suddenly ceases to be magnetic
when heated to the critical point Of its
''recalesrencc" or after glow" and
that II alleged with some ~ per cent.
of manganese. as in manganese steel, it
becomes almost completely non-mag-
netic. These facts show us that iron is
not necessarily magnetic under all con-
ditions, for admixture with a small
quantity Of another metal and even
mer change Of temperature render it
non-magnetic. Stranger still. some OBJ
report that iron again be-
comes magnetic when the temperature
reaches ~whiteness, but this lacks con
firmation.
The behavior of nickel steel is very
remarkable. As usually received from
the maker nickel steel with % per cent.
of nickel is non-magnetic; and yet il is
a mixture Of two magnetic metals. iron
aud nickel. If now we cool this nickel
steel 10 20 degs. {. a degS. Fahr. it

remains so when i again returns to the
