10 Remove Ink Stains.

Coal oil will remove ink stains,
even after they have been washed
with soap. Pour on the oil and rub
the spot with the hands; if it does
not remove it with the first applica-
ton, try more the second attempt
will likely remove the stain entirely.
Ripe tomatoes will remove ink
stains from white cloth. To take
ink out of linen, dip the ink spot in
pure melted tallow, then wash out
the tallow, and the ink will come
out with it. Soakingin sour milk is
remedy.
Oxalate of potash will remove ink
stains. If the stain is of long stand
ing apply oxalic acid moisten the
spot well with water and apply the
acid in a powder, and after the stain
disappears, rinse thoroughly in pure
soft water. r.-Montana Farmer.

Bulls.

There are blunders of the species
"bull" which have not been born in
Ireland. Household Words notes
a few. 1t was Scotch woman who
said that the butcher of her town
only killed half a beast at a time. 1t
was a Dutchman who said a pig had
no marks on his ears except a long
tail. 1t was a British magistrate
who, when told by q certain rascal
that he was not married, responded
"That is a good thing for yonr
wife" 1t was a Portuguese mayor
who enumerated, among the marks
by which the body of a certain
drowned man might be identified
when found, "a marked impediment
in his speech" 1t was Frenchman
who, contentedly laying his head on
stone jar for pillow, replied to
an inquiry whether it was not toe
hard 'Not at all for / have stuffed
it with hay" And it was an Ameri-
can who lecturing one evening,
said: parents, you may have
children, or, if not, your daughters
may have"

DINGMANs, Jan. 10, 1897.
EDITOR PREss:-rhe letter in your pa
per signed Sweet was a kind of bitters,
but what the writer says is nevertheless
truth
Right here in this township we are
hemmed in by heavy grades, with only one
outlet that is fairly good or decent, and
that is the road to Bushkill which leads
from the county seat, where many Of us
have business and must go. What dis
grace is the Cemetery hill, and also the one
at Manor Hall, which is a very hard place
with anything like a fair load. 1t also
compels the wheelmen to dismount, and
to some extent discourages that class OF
people who leave a large amount of money
i'm the country.
The owner Of the premises, Mr.. Quick,
we understand has been willing for years
to have level road made there, which
could start near his barn and end near the
Reformed Church. Sweet says we
have the same kind among us to-day" and
by this he must certainly refer to those
who prevented that road from being re
laid and this miserable hill obviated. Let
us hear from Sweet again. BITTER.

The snakes come from lire Colonels

informs rs that the Florida RATHER
crossed WITH the native stock add
size. muscle and vim TO them, as
the cold climate here has tendency
to deCr0se the size and take the

the warm Spanish blood Of the

hope to overcome this defect.
The Professor spoke of the glow
ing outlook for their enterprise,
but strange as it IN ~ seem to many,
informed as that the Dingley Bill,
if IT becomes law, will compel
them to raise the price on thelp
snakes, as many Of the chemicals
that they feed the snakes to pro.
