Value of Lime Water,

In every home where these blessings,
children and flowers, are found, lime
water should be kept prepared for fre-
quent use, and it is so inexpensive and
valuable that fresh supply ought al
ways to be found in the family medi-
cine closet.
If any Of the children show trihing
illness from indigestion, it is said that a
diet of milk with a tablespoonful of
lime water added to the quart, will
give relief without any other medicine.
This is remedy frequently prescribed
to children under 10 years, who seem
indisposed, 1t furnishes a simple food
and allows the digestive organs a
chance to rest and restore themselves
to their normal condition.
Lime water mixed with equal parts
of sweet oil is excellent to apply to a
burn where the skin is not off.
For the potted plants during the
winter season lime water will prove in
dispensable, if earth worms have found
their way into the pots at the time of
repotting, for they will soon exhaust
the nutriment of the soil and leave the
plants in q sickly condition.
An occasional application of weak
lime water will soon destroy the worms
without injuring the plants, and the
fresh, green appearance of the leaves
will quickly show the good results of
this simple remedy.
To prepare the lime water, select a
large wide mouth bottle, and fill it to
the depth of three or four inches with
Stacked lime and let it stand for "a
hours filled with clear water. For
medicinal purposes, filtered rain water
or any pure water will do. The water
will take up only so much lime. When
it is saturated" as it will be in the
time given, if the bottle has been
shaken once or twice, pour the water
off through a fine muslin strainer, and
set it away for use we'll corked in a
cool place.

A Forge tea Statesman.

Why is II that oliver Ellsworth has
received SO little attention from b!og-
raphers and historians? He was no.
born In Massachusetts, or Virginia. IN
Connecticut. like Pennsylvania. the
historic field has been meagcrly fiicd.
Moreover the dramatic aud opportune
quality OF his work has been perceived
only through the perspective OF subse-
Quent years. To negotiate an unpopu-
lar convention for q party Just retiring
from office in defeat and ignomity Is
not conductive TO immediate fame.
Nevertheless he has not been wholly
overlooked by subsequent statesmen.
Webster said of him: For strength Of
reason, for sagacity. wisdom. and
sound good sense In the conduct OF
ahairs. for moderation OF temper and
general ability. II may be doubted !f
New England has yet produced his
superior" What he said. as chief
Justice of the United States to the
grand jury at Savannah in 1876. was
the aim of his life: $50 let us rear an
empire sacred TO the rights OF men:
and commend a government OF reason
to the nations OF the earth. Frank

History OF SKATING.


Artistic skating chiefly dates from
the middle Of the last century, but
speed skating was observed and COM
mented upon by. some early historians.

stephen. In the twelfth century. relates
that when the great fenne or moore
(which watereth the walls of the citie
on the north side) is frozen macy
young men play upon the yce." TIE
skates were crude, but seem to have
been fairly speedy. After description
OF sliding which irresistibly reminds
one Of Mr.. Pickwick's attempt the his
torian remarks: Some tys bones to
their feete and under their heels, and.
showing themselves by a little picked
staffe. slide as swiftly as q pird nyeth
In the air or an arrow out Of Q crosJ-
bow" Fun was sometimes created by
thrusting out the pole to upset tbs
skater In an opposite direction. with
the result that figure skating was
evolved, to the great merriment Of the
spectators.
Blade skates were introduced into
England from Holland about 1867.
John Evelyn. the diarist. under the
date Of December / Of that year. de-
scribes how divers gentlemen per-
formed before their majesties on the
new canal In st. James Park, with
scheets. after the manner Of the Hoi-
landers." But In 1642 Edinburgh hal
started a skating club and was soon
famous for its elegant skaters. In 1712
the first English book on The Art OF
Skating was published by Robert
Jones. Though roller skates were en-
ployed in Holland In ITO. their use
was confined to that country TIL 1Sty.
