Musical jugs.

The silvadors or musical jugs found
among the burial places of Peru, are most
ingenious specimens of handiwork The
William s. Yaux collection in Philadel-
phia contains a remarkable example Of
this rude and ancient art. 1t is com-
posed of two vessels joined together with
a clay stem or pipe, after the fashion of
the Siamese twins. The stem is hollow;
one jug is entirely closed up, except %
small opening provided with a clay tube,
leading to the body of the whistle. When
liquid is>poured into the open-mouthed
jug, the air is compressed into the other
through the opening in the connecting
stem, from whence it is forced into the
whistle, the vibrations producing the
lovely songs of various forest birds pecu-
liar 70 Peru and South American countries.
The Clay collection, in the same city, also
contains some wonderful examples of an
cient Peruvian art, among which are the
robin vases and the llama jugs, the for
mer initiating the song of the robin, and
the latter, being fashioned in the form of
the llama, initiates the election of saliva,
well remembered as being one of that
animals disgusting habits. PieaylAs.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Tea should be kept in a close canister.
Corn starch is good substitute for
eggs in cooking.
Salt fish are best freshened by soaking
over night in sour milk.
To keep lemons, cover with cold
water, changing every week.
To stop hiccough, take lump of
sugar saturated with vinegar.
1t is well to keep pieces of charcoal in
damp corners and in dark places.
Salt should never be added to new
milk when cooking, as it will cause it to
curdle.
To make tough meat or fowls tender,
add vinegar to the water in which they
are cooked.
To cure earache, take piece of cotton
batting, put in it pinch of black pepper,
dip in sweet oil and put in the ear.
Cheese should be kept in a close box,
in cool place. That which feels soft
between the fingers is richest and best.
Wood ashes put in water and poured
in vessels retaining odors of onions, cab
bages or fish will entirely destroy them.
Boiling water should not be poured
over tea tray, japanned goods, ETC., as it
will make the varnish crack and peel
off.
To prevent cake adhering to the pan
when baked, scatter a little flour over
the creased surface before pouring in the
dough.
1t is said that if the hands are rubbed
on a stick of celery after peeliug onions
the disagreeabie smell will be entirely
removed.
Strong muriatic acid applied with Il
cloth, and the spot washed thoroughly
with water, is recommended to remove
ink stains from boards.
The French method of administering
castor oil to children is to pour the oil
into a pan over a moderate fire, break an
egg into it and stir up; when it is done
flavor with little salt or sugar or cur
rant Jelly.
Almonds are blanched by pouring
water over them after they are shelled
when they have remained for a few mo-
ments in the water they can be rubbed
in soft, dry towel, and the skin will
slip off the kernels, leaving them white
and entire.
Dipping fish in scalding water will
cause the scales to come off very easily,
but if the fish are 10 be salted down they
must ON no account be scalded. You
may pour over them vinegar with the
same result. Salt fish will soak fresh
much quicker in sour milk than in water.
An easy method of removing bits of
foreign bodies from the eye is to place
grain of flaXseed under the lower lid, and
close the lids The seed becames sur
rounded by thick, adhering mucilage.
which entraps the foreign body, and soon
carries it out from the angle of the eye.

Fortune is a slippery jade. A New
York Mail and Express writer heard the
other day of a shabby trick she played
several gentlemen, among whom were no
less noted personages than two eX-Gov-
ernors of Massachusetts,, Butler and Rice.
A chemist named Fell, residing in New
York, had made a most remarkable dis
coyery, which was apparently destined to
reyolutioniZe the leather industry. In
experimenting with tungstate of soda, he
had applied it to blotting paper, and the
result was a substance like leather pos
sessing the same hard, yet elastic consis-
tency and practically indestructible.
A company was organized, and for
tunes seemed to be within easy reach of
all concerned. Presently the experiments
ceased. The chemists supply of tung-
state had all run out. A new consign-
ment from Mr.. Quettier, the dealer, did
not produce the same effect. Repeated
trials failed to revive the success of the
first. The tungstate was analyzed and
found to be pure. Then a small portion
of the old supply was scraped from the
box in which it had been kept, and that
was sent exclusively to Profs. Doremus,
Feuchtwanger and Ennis to be analysed.
They found in it foreign substances and
a residuum of alum.
The first specimen had been imported
from Germany; the second was domestic.
Then $40, 600 was offered to the dealer if
he could secure a fresh supply of the
same quality as the first. This he under
took to do, but somehow failed. A Mr..
Murphy was sent abroad to visit the
German firm of manufacturers from whom
the impure tungstate had been received.
While he was on the Atlaltic the fac
tories of the German house were burned
to the ground. They were never rebuilt.
And so, for the want of accurate
knowledge of the nature Of single
ingredient, and that, too, an impurity,
a big discovery and magnificent for
tune in prospective have gone glimmer-
ing. Europe has been searched in vain
for trace of the chemical mixture, and
all that is left of the golden dream for
the stockholders to gaze upon are a few
pieces Of paper-leather.

guessed what made Miss Emma so merry.
When Jim could come without any
danger from the fever, Miss Emma sent
for him, and then she made him tell her
how the new conductor looked, and all
about him.
''Is it real hard work, JIM" she
asked.
at is, indeed, Miss; early and late,
and in all weathers. But Mr.. Thatcher
stands it first rate, though he is burnt

Then Miss Emma made Jim remember
the very day Mr. Thatcher went on the
cars first, and noted down the day on
card. She would not let me go for sew
eral weeks, and paying me big wages all
the time, as if it was Just hard nursing
like the first
So was still there when the three
months were over, and if hadn't known
should have guessed there was some
thing Miss Emma expected that day.
She dressed herself in new white or
gandie, as fine as hair, with little
blue sprig all over it, and she put on a
blue ribbon under her lace collar and in
her HAIR. She couldn't settle down to
read or sew, but just fidgeted about all
the morning.
81 know Harry will come to-day" she
whispered to me.
And sure enough, he did come. Miss
Emma was in the large parlors and was
fussing about there, too, knowing all the
time she was keeping me busy there
Just for company. Mr.. Sanderson's
private sitting-room is off the parlors,
and we heard somebody go the whole
length of the hall and knock at his door.
Miss Emma took hold of me, all rosy and
trembling, and then we heard mans
voice say:
"There, Mr.. Sanderson, are three
months wages, honestly earned by hard
work. And here is a letter from my en-
ployers recommending me for sobriety,
industry and honesty"
"Well done!" we heard Mr.. Sander
son say. "You will find Emma in the
parlor"
went out at one door just as Harry
Thatcher came in at another, diamond
studs, shiny boots and all
Well, ma'am, that is all there is to tell,
except that the wedding is tomorrow,
and am to go up all day and help the
housekeeper. Every bit Of the fine linen
and embroidery have done up myself,
and it would do your heart good to see
the piles of it, fluted and crimped fit for

Jim, he's got a holiday too, to go to
the church, and the Sunday-school class
have ordered beautiful basket of flowers
that jim is to present to the bride.

BEDROCK PHILOSOPHY. Y.

When worries and troubles surround you,
Don't fret.
Go to work.
You will always have trouble around you,
You bet?
If you shirk.
The man who is busy his worry forgets,
His mind isn't harrassed by thoughts of his
debts,
Aud the harder he works, the moro happy
he gets,
Till he's gay as Turk.
If Fortune won't smile, let her frown, il
She will.
Never mind!
Don't sulk, and look wholly cast down, if
She still
Seems unlind.
If you smile at her, soon she will smile back
at you.
You are certain to win her, if you will
pursue
Her with cheerful persistence, and hope ever
new
And then solace you'll find.
The world doesn't care for your woes.
Oh no!
Not bit,
The man who is wise never shows
His foe
That he's hit.
Every one of your neighbors has griefs of
his own,
He greatly prefers to let your griefs alone,
And he doesn't at all enjoy hearing you
groan,
So take warning and quit!

A BAKED HAM.

Scrub the ham thoroughly with a toy
scrubbing brush, and scrape the lower
part. Soak in water that will more
than cover it, all night. Boil it until
the skin will slip off easily. Then lay II
in the dripping-pan with pint of vine
gar. Basic every fifteen minutes. Bake
four hours. Half an hour before it is
done take it out and cover thickly with
powdered white sugar and layer of
ground cinnamon, mixed with little
nutmeg and red pepper. Return it to
the oven to brown, and glaze with the
sugar. To skin it as directed before
baking, hold the bone in one hand while
hot, and with damp cloth in the other
hand loosen the skin from the bone, turn
it back and draw it off in one piece.

GARNIsuING OLE TIsu.

There are no dishes that come on our
table more capable of improvement by
garnish than a dish of fish. Without
garnish it is bare and unappetizing. A
boiled fish should always be lifted mp
with an open skinner or on a grating,
or, if boiled in a napkin, should be laid
in colander moment to drain. 1t
must then be turned instantly on hot
platter on which a folded napkin has
been laid. A decoration of lemon quar-
ters, or of slices of lemons and parsley,
is very suitable for almost any boiled
fish. Groups of fried oysters and pieces of
lemon are also suitable decoration to sal
mon or halibut. English epicurcs usual
ly serve Dish of cucumbers with sal
mon, and sometimes green peas. Usual
ly potato croquettes or mashed potatoes
are the only vegetable served with
boiled fish. Baked fish are often i'm
proved in appearance by fried bread
crumbs strewn over them. Baked fish
are usually served with a sauce around
them, while boiled fish is accompanied
by the sauce in a boat. A fried OF
boiled fish is best served with garnish of
fried potatoes, or of lemon and parsley,
lightly used. Maitre d'hotel butter or
tartar sauce is generally served with fried
or boiled fish.-Nele YORK. Tribune.

An interesting anplication of electricit

An interesting application of electricity
to the dairy industry has been made in
Italy. Tho Count of Assata, whose
buildings are fitted up with electric
light, has connected his dairy plant with
an electric motor of twelve horsepower.
This machine drives a Danish separator
and Danish churn Of considerable size,
ohurning being conducted at the rate of
120 to 100 revolutions per minute, the
butter being brought in from thirty to
thirty-fye minutes, in fine grains, which,
it is now recognized, enable the maker TO
produce the finest article. A pump is
also worked in the dairy, and various
other operations are carried on by cleo

According to a correspondent of the
London Times a strike in Russia is prac-
tically revolt against all authority. lie
sends an account of one, which occurred
about a month ago, to illustrate the stu
pidity of themen aud the very ef7icacious
methods adopted by the authorities.
Owing to falling of in trade, the pro-
prietors Of some mills discharged a num-
Der OF hands, Immediately all the work
men surrounded the managers, and de-
magded, with threats of violence, that
k should be found for the usual num-
beg Of hands. The police were called in,
who removed fifty of the most clamorous
men. The others were confounded by
the disappearance of their leaders and
went back to work quietly. They never
knew what became of them, but as a
matter OF fact they were taken to the salt
mines of Cracow, where they were
scourged Aud ill-treated till they sought
refuge in death. Thus the number of
hands was reduced, and fifty men dan
gerous to the Government were re-
moved.
