served as Secretary of the Interior

daughter, Mary. is the wife of
Robert Lincoln. ex-Secretary of
War, ard now a leading lawyer
and capitalist of Chicago.
Some politicians had called on
President Lincoln to urge the ap-

A FRAUD OF A FRUIT.
Sectrons of the Seedess Apple Reveals
Seeds and Core.

London, May 6.-The much
Wanted seedleSs and coreless apple
imported from America has been
solemnly pronounced a fraud on
the premises of Messrs. Shern, in
TOttenham Court road. On Thurs
day little crowd of experts in
fruit culture met to see the closure
put upon the fierce controversy
which for past months has ragged
around this fruit. Messrs. Shern
purchased for SIS, three months
ago, two of the only four alleged
seedless apples which have so far
Feached England. But there was
an army of skeptics, who talked
and wrote with never-failing
energy, their sole desire being to
see the two samples possessed by
MeSSrS. Onern put to the test OF
tour swift cuts, and those seedless
and coreleSS apples were undone,
revealing just as many pips and
harder and larger core than most
other apples have. There was a
gasp OF establishment among the
onlookerS, and the comments
which were made were as heartless
as the apples had been claimed
TO be.

Finger Nails and Health.

1t has long been known to doc
tors that the shape and appearance
Of the finger nails form important
factors in the diagnosis Of disease.
Thus long nails usually : indicate
physical weakness and a tendency to
consumption. Where the nails are
long and blush, they indicate bad
circulation. This same type Of nail,
but shorter, denotes tendency to
throat affections. Short, small nails
often indicate heart disease. Where
they are short, fat and sunken, you
may look for nervous disorders.
There are, Of course, many excep-
tons to these rules.

Directions For Painting Kitchen Walls
and Floors.


and Floors.
To paint a wall for the first time
coat of glue sizing is necessary in
order that the lime and the plaster
may not kill the paint. Melt one
pound of glue in two and a half
quarts of water, and apply quite
warm with a large brush. This will
dry in five hours. For the second
coat use white lead mixed with equal
parts of turpentine and raw linseed
oil. Add a small quantity of japan
and color to suit. Let dry two days.
For the last coat use linseed oil
three parts, turpentine one part,
to thin the lead. Add one quart of
good varnish to a gallon of paint to
make lasting gloss. The colors
most used are cream, light green
and light blue.
To paint the floor first fill the
cracks with fine sawdust and thin
glue. Mix warm and stuff into the
cracks. Let dry a day or two. Sand
paper smoothly and then paint. Use
any good paint, and for the first
two coats make quite thin with one
half oil and half turpentine. The
first coat should dry in twenty-four
hours and the second in thirty-six
to forty hours. For the last coat
use one-third varnish and twc-thirds
paint. Apply warm and brush out
well. Let it dry fog tven8y-four
hours.

Leftover. Of seap.

The smallest leftovers of SOAP
may be used by placing the bits to
gether in a small bag Of linen o,
cheesecloth and tying securely, SO
that none of them can escape. The
bag is used in precisely the same
way as q tablet of soap would be,
the soap oozing freely through the
fabric when the latter is immersed
In water.
For the bath a soap bag is rather
to be preferred to the piece of soap,
being decidedly less elusive and, on
the whole, easier to manage.
