Hundreds of lives might have
been saved by a knowledge of this
receipt-a large teaspoonfu1 of
made mustard, mixed in tumbler
of warm water, and swallowed as
soon as possible, acts as an instant
emetic, sufficiently powerful to re-
move all that is lodged in the
stomach.
Those whose houses are infested
by that troublesome domestic
animal, the rat, should heat plaster
of Paris in an iron vessel until it is
done boiling, then mix it half and
half with Indian meal. 1t is said
the rat will eat of this compound
freely, and that it sets in their
little stomachs and kills them, with
out the danger of poison.
Eggs can be kept for years in
lime water, made like common
whitewash. A pine barrel or tub
is the best thing to put them in.
First make your whitewash, which
must stand two or three weeks be-
fore using, or it will cook the eggs;
then put the eggs into a barrel, and
pour on the lime water. The lime
settles around the eggs, and the
water should stand over them three
or four inches deep. Always keep
water on the top, and they will
keep for years, if desired.
To take stains out of linen: Stains
caused by acids can be removed by
wetting the part and laying on it
some salt of wormwood; then rub.
without diluting it, with more water.
Or, tie up in the stained part some
pearlash, then scrape some soap
into cold soft water to make a
lather, and boil the linen till the
stain disappears. Recent Stains of
fruit may be removed by holding
the linen tightly stretched over a
tub, and pouring hot water over
the part. This way be done be-
fore any soap has been applied to
it. AS soon as the stain is made on
table linen, etc., rub ON it common
table salt, before it has had time to
dry. The salt will keep it damp
till cloth is washed, when the
stain will disappear; or, wash the
stain lightly when the cloth is re-
moved.
The best purpose to which coal
ashes can be applied, in town or
country, is in mrking garden walks.
If we'll laid down, no weeds or
grass will grow, and by use they
become as solid and more durable
than bricks.
Almost every soup or stew is
better for little vinegar.
Mildew may be removed from
awnings, etc., with the following
preparation: Mix well together
two tablespoons of soft soap, one of
salt, two of powdered starch, and
the juice of a lemon. Lay this
mixture ON both sides of the stain
with a painters brush, and then
lay the article on the grass day and
night until the stain disappears.
When linen has turned yellow,
cut up a pound of fine white soap
in gallon of milk, and hang it
over a fire in wash kettle. When
the soap has completely melted,
put in the linen and boil it a half
hour; then take it out. Have ready
a lather Of soap and water; wash
the linen in it, and then rinse it
through two cold waters, with
very little blue in the last.

Study the strange conditions of the
denizens of subterranean lakes,
where the eternal light of day never
enters; these wonderful fish have
not even the semblance of rudi-
mentary eyesl Why? Because
eyes are made to see with, and
having no light to use, eyesight
would be supeufluous. Thus we see
that nature never wastes, and in all
these wonders its hand is clearly
shown. Furthermore, no such
thing as chance or accident can or
ever did exist. Rev. A. p. Stanley,
Dean of Westminster Abbey
1S64-76), uttered during a cele-
brated sermon "The nineteenth
century may close in darkness, but
the twentieth will dawn in light.
The prophets whom we stone our
sons will honor, and the calamities
of this world, so it would appear

laws and a combination of causes,
which, on looking back, seems
irresistible.

do well to ponder and examine

The predictions made then have
been fulfilled, completing that act
of the play, but now another act is
to be consummated. This-Cleve-
land could have taken the oath of
office at high noon. The inclemency
of the weather would have been a
good excuse for doing so; but no,
his spiritual forces, unknown to
him, prompted him to take the oath
of office when the indications for
certain conditions and effects to
follow were complete. Hence while
we may be practically free to do as
we elect, yet there is an everpower-
ing intelligence to point the way
and shape our ends. In the Ian

T. J. Beterio. charged with assault
with intent to commit murder, upon
the person of pugilist Lynch, was, on
motion of the prosecution, allowed to
go on his own recognizance, and the
case continued indefinitely. Attorney
Zane vouehed for Beterio's appearance
whenever wanted, and it was with this
understanding that Attorney Eichnor
consented to the case going over.
Wah Lee, a native OF the ''fiowery
kingdom" was arrested near the Rio
Grande depot yesterday by Sergeant
Wire, upon the charge of having beaten
a young lad named Willie Swinger, in
an unmerciful manner, by kicking him
in the ribs and jumping on him when
down. The defendant appeared before
Justice Smith at the afternoon session
of court, and stated that he had been
annoyed for some time past, by
Swinger and other boys who persisted
in throwing rocks at his shack. He
further claimed that he caught the boy
in the act yesterday and chased him,
but never beat him as alleged. A num-
Der of small boys testified that another
boy, whose name they did not know,

for a man of wealth to hire a canoe
with a crew Of Indians to take him
from place to place. But 1t is not an
easy mater for three men who have
never before visited the country, to
pick their way among the multitudes of
small islands and winding passages,
where they will travel for days without
meeting any man.
Through the kindness of the captain
and pilot we were supplied with first

had been unable to obtain elsewhere.
AT one point on the passage the steamer
took an unusual course and went
through the narrowest steamer passage
on the coast. Dodd's narrows is 125

rent has scooped deep holes in the rocky
shore. AS one approaches the narrow
gap in the cavernous mountain wall
