once pronounced perfectly, they never for

OATMEAL FOR THE TABLE-A. s.. City.
1t is doubtful if there is any record of when
oats in the shape of meal was first used by
human beings as table food. II is, how
ever, recorded in Markham's English
Housewife, 1868, that oatmeal is used as
Wand by families in England" After di-
recting how it should be prepared he says
that its uses and virtues are beyond all
reckoning. He says that the small ground
meal is used IN thickening pottage Of meat
or of milk, as well as both thick or thin
Cruel, ''Of whose goodness it is needless to
speak, in that it is frequent with every ex-
perience." Then he says there are oat
cakes. thick and thin, very pleasant in
taste and much esteemed" He also says
that oatmeal may be mixed with blood,
aud the liver of sheep, calf or pig, and in
that way make that pudding which is
called baggas, or haggus, of whose good
ness it is vain to boast, because there is
hardly to be found man who does not
affect it."

NICKEL PLATING = r. H. B., City.
Nickel is very easily deposited. and may be
prepared for this purpose By dissolyng 1t
in nitric acid. then adding cyanide of potas-
SUM to preciptate the metal; after which
the precipitate is washed and dissolved by
the addition of more cyanide of potassium.
The metal yields a color approaching TO
silver, which is not liable TO tarnish on ex-
p0sure to the air. A process devised by
Nagle of Hamburg. for coating iron, steel
and other oxidzable metals with an electro
deposit of nickel, consists in taking four
parts, by weight, OF pure sulphate OF the
prOtoxide of nickel by crystallization. and
two parts, by weight, of pure ammonia, so
as to form double salt, which is then dis
solved IN sixty parts of distilled water, and
twelve parts of ammuniacai solution of
the specific gravity of .9o9 added. The
electro deposit is effected by an ordinary
galvanlc current, using platinum positive
pole, the solution being heated 10 about 100

Mrs. Millions Ride

When Mrs. Million goes to ride she travels
forth in state,
Her horses, full of fire and pride, go pranc-
ing from the gate;
But all the beauties of the day she views
with languid eyes,
Her flesh in weakness wastes away, her voice
is but sigh.
For Mrs. Million is in an advanced
stage of catarrh, and all the luxuries
that wealth can buy fail to give her
comfort. She envies her rosy waiting
maid, and would give all her riches for
that young woman's pure breath and
blooming health. Now, if some true
and disinterested friend would advise
Mrs. Million of the wonderful merits of
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, she would
learn that her case is not past help.
$500 reward is offered by the manufac-
turers for a case of catarrh in the land
which they cannot cure.

trash is not literature and has no place
there. As one who has fallen into asso-

soon shows it in his manner, even when in
better company, so the foolish girl or boy
whose mind is stepped in trashy reading
soon betrays it in many ways, and one of
them is his feeling toward real, genuine
