ever written a bass solo, of the borri

Household Suggestions.
Lard should go into tiu.
Wash brown linen in hay tea, and
iron on the wrong side.
Soda is much nicer than ashes to
clean tea stained dishes
A good flux for soldering iron,
brass, etc., is made by dissolving
chloride of zinc in alcohol.
To clean willow furniture use salt
nnd water • apply with a coarse bush
and dry thoroughly.
The mildew may be removed by
dipping the stained parts into butter
milk and putting them the sun.
To cleau black cashmere, souk the
cloth in a solution of supercarbouatc
of soda and water for twony
four hours. Hang up to dry and
iron damp.
Spirits of ammonia, diluted wit!
water, if applied with a sponge o
flannel to discolored spots on the car
pet or garments will often restore
the color.
Put camphor gum with your now
silverware, and it will never tarnis!
as long as the guru is there Nevci
wash silver in soap-suds, as that givei
it a white apoarance.
A very thin coating of glycerin*
applied to glass will prevent fros
forming on it in coldest weather
This is spatially interesting to engi
neers who are much annoyed iu fros
ty or foggy weather by the foriniu*
of a film on their instruments.

[Not the Desired Eflfeot. T
Little Grace’s mother was ill, and
Grace was very naughty, A detailed
account of his misdemeanors was given
to her mother, and her advice was
asked.
“Bring her in to me, ’she said,’
“and I will see what, a serious talk
on the subject will do.”
The little one was accordingly
brought into her mother, who vivid
ly portrayed to her the offences, of
which .-.lie had been guilty, endeavor
ing to put the case in such a way as
to impress the child deeply. The ef
fect was quite exhausting, hut the
mother felt convinced, from the
child’s earnest attention, that the de
sired effect had been produced.
“You may go now, dear,” she said,
“mamma’s tired.’’
The little girl lingered.
“What more do you want ?” asked
her mother, kissing the supposed lit
tle penitent gently.
“Nothing, mamma, * she replied,
sweetly, “only—don’t you think you
could tell mo that nice story over
again.’’— Huepee's IIczar.
D lieu to Eat Fruit.
The real place of fruit is at the be
ginning of a feast, and not at the end.
A better plan is to make a meal of
bread and ripe fruit. The best meals
to make thus are breakfast, lunch, or
early tea. The biead should be
brown an ! dry and the fruit ripe and
raw. Dry brown bread cleans the
tongue and brings out the flavor of
the fruit. Butter on the bread
would give its own flavor, for even
tho salt in the butter would destroy
the pure taste of the fruit. Again,
I the fruit should be raw, if possible,
! as many delicious odors aud delicate
flavors are lost in the cooking.—Chi
cago Tribune.

The big timber of this State at
tracts great attention at home and
abroad. Recently a walnut tree Was
cut in Wyoming county that was
valued at $3,000, and we have the
following description of a poplar just
downed : 06 feet long, with an aver
age diameter of five feet and two in
ches. It contained 10,184 feet of
lumber. The most remarkable part
of the tree is that it was 86 feet from
the stump to the first limb without
any shake or visible defect.—Mon
roe Watchman.
There is much excitement in llol
yoke Mass., over the death of Deter
Carey aged 9 years, presumaby from
the effects of a whipping administer
ed by his father. It seems that the
boy got hold of some whisky on
Sunday and went home drunk. His
father puuished him so severely with
a lath that some ,of the neigh
bors sought t<> interfere. The boy was
put to bed and died on Monday.

Injured by an Oetricli i.'tcg
1»r. George Baitr, assistant profes
sor at the Peabody Museum at Yale
was knocked senseless Saturday by
the explosion ot an ostrich egg.
Scientists at Yale say it was the most
remarkable explosion on record.
The eggs were shipped to Yale from
i Cape Town November 13, 1885, for
• experimental purposes and, owing to
i the delay, one of them fermented,
generating a gas which caused an ex
, plosion which shook the building.
When Dr. ilaur recovered conscious
ness it was found that his only injur
ies were flesh wounds.
Lieutenant Greoly believes in the
thorey that there is an open sea,
some fifteen hundred miles in diamo
, ter, round about the pole, that never
1 freezes, the conjecture being that the
. j pole itself is the center of an ice cap
s ■ ped land, covered with ice from one
j thousand to four thousand feet thick.
