Slack linio in a close box to prevent tbo escape of steam, and when slacked pass it through a bicvc. To every six quarts of this lime add one quart of rock salt and ono gallon of water. After this,boil and skim clean. To every fivo gallons of this add, by slow degrees, three quar ters of a pound of potash and four quarts of fine sand. Coloring matter may be added if desired. Apply with a paint or whitewash brush. This wash looks as well as paint and is almost as durablo as slato. It will stop small leaks in a roof, prevent the moss from growing over it, and render it incombustiblo from sparks falling on it. When applied to brick work it renders the bricks utterly imper vious to rain ; it endures as long as paint, and the expenso is a mere trine. How to Cook Vegetables. The best niodo is to cook them so as to retain their own juices. Baking, there fore, is my preference. Boots baked are far preferable to boiled beets. In boiling much of the most valuable ingredients which are in the juico is lost. Have your cook thoroughly bake them. In eating slice them and spread with butter. In some sections of Europe the baked beet is sold to the peasantry as a good substitute for the bread loaf, and is eaten in the sanio way. I need not tell you that baked potatoes aro the best ; fried are the worst. Let the rule be to cook them with as little grease as possible. Milk is much more healthful with vege tables than grease. Home and Health. To Keep the Feet Dry. AVe saw, some years ago, in ono of the Western papers the following : " Apply castor oil to tho boot when dry and soak it by the fire till the leather is satura ted. Treat the soles in tho same way, boing careful to dry in well, so that they will not grease the carpets. Wo once treated a pair of calf boots in this way, and a few days nftur we walked five miles in saturated snow and water from six to ten inches deep at every step, and camo out with feet perfectly dry. Castor oil will keep the leather soft, pliable, and black, though not k'oss)' ""d quito im pervious to water." Tear on Oak Roots. A Delaware county correspondent writes to us about this. He is not by any means a novice, or ono easily persua ded, unless facts are strong. Ifo says : " I bavo been promised grafts from a win ter pear growing in the neighborhood, grafted on tho root of an oak tree. Its growth bus far outstripped trees grafted on pear roots, and it bore pears last year weighing twenty ounces. I do uot send this statement to tho ' Monthly,' for I do not suppose anv ouo will believe it, but if necessary, lean give sufficient proof of the tact. "Uurduers Monthly. Cure for Ague. Wo find the following in tho Cleveland Herald. Wo wish to give a very simple remedy for lover and ague, and wish to emphasize it by saying that it has to our knowledge, proved very efficacious. It is simply common salt. A tcaspoonful ta kcu in water, and a tcaspoonful deposited inside the stocking next tho foot us the chill is coming on. That's all there is of it ; but, knowing that it had becu effica cious iu " broaking" the chill uud per fecting a cure, wo put it in our editorial columns, where no humbug reuiedynhull ever liud place, if we kuow it. I'lcimlng. The following is said to be an excel lent method for cleaning paint, uud will be acceptable to housekeepers at this reason of the year, when " there's no luck about tho house," on account of the cleaning day, " the saddest of the year " Smear a piece of flannel with common whiting, mixed to the consistency of com mon paste, in warm water.

WaT Tho followiut? appears iu tho American )ixpemttvyy by l)r.

ITS CURE AND ITS PREVENTIVE. Bf J, R. BCRElfCK, II. D. KftnyRhiimnn bMmrtiM punned nwnf for whose (lentil tb ere wtui nooihtr refuion than UieneKlectof known and liidlnputultly provrn nifnns of cure. Those near mid drur to ftwntly and friends am plt'opincr thn dreamless slumber Into which, Lad tliev calmly adopted JDH. JONEFII If. Hi UV.yiWm ftlMPIifi and availed tbemst'lv'S of his wonderfully effica cious medicine, they would not Imve fallen. Dr. Hchenck has In his own ciw proved that wherever mi indent vitality remains, tlmt vitality, hy his medicines and IiIm (lirooUons fur their uau, U quickened Into heulthfhl vlRor. In this statement there Is nothing presumptnons. To the faith of the Invalid Is in title no rcreenliillon that Is nota thousand times mitnntluted hy llvlriff and visible works. The Iheory of Urn euro by Dr. Hrhenr.k's medicinm Is as simple as It Is unfailing. Its philosophy reipiin-H no urKiimunt. It la self-as-Burlnx, aell-convlnciriK. TheHea-weed Tunic and Mandrake PIHs are the first two weapons with which the citadel of the malady Is assnlled. Two-thirds of the cases of con sumption originate hi dyspepxia and a functionally disordered liver. With thin condition the bronchial tulHfi "sympathize" with the stomach. They rt spond to the tnorbillcactlon of the liver. Here then routes the culminating result, and the Bulling Iu, with all Its Ulfltrmwlnn svmptnms of ON! Ml lTIO. The Mandrake Fills are composed of one nf Na lure's iioblettk eLl'bi the I'odnphillnm I'eltatum. They possess all tho hlood-searehhiK, alterative properties of calomel, but, unlike calomel, they "LKAVK NO STIMJ It Fill !.' The work of cure Is now heKlnulng. The vitiated nnd mucous deposits In the bowels and In the nil mentary canal are ejected. The liver, like a dork. Is wound up. It arouse from It.i torpidity. The stomach acts reaponslvely. nud tho patient begins to teal that he Is wtthiff, at last, a Mt'iiiY of ooon m.oon. The Mea-weed Tonic, iu conjunction with the Pills, permeates and nslnillates with the food. Chyllli cation Is now proKrenslnfr without Its previous tor turns. Digestion becomes painless, and the cure Is seen to be at hand. There f no more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach. An appetite sets In. Now comes tho greatest Hlood Purnlcr ever yet given hy an indulgent fat her to suH'erlng man. Hehenck's Pulmonic Hyrup conies In to perform Its functions and to hatUcn ami complete the cure. It enters at once upon Its work. .Nature can not be cheated. It collects nnd ripens the Impaired and diseased portions of the lungs. In the form of f;atherings, It prepares them for expectoration, and ot In a very snort time the malady Is vanquished, the rulten throne that It occupied Is renovated ana made new, nud the imtleul. In all the dignity of re gained vigor. Hteps forth to enjoy the muuuooU or womanhood that wns 4-11 vt: vi a rosvr. The second thing In, the patients must stav In a warm room until they get well ; It In almost inipon slide to prevent taklngcotd when the lungs are dis eased, but It must he prevented or a euro can not bo eilerted. Fresh air and riding out, especially In this flection of the country, In the fall and whiter sea son, are all wrong. Physicians who recommend that course loso their patients, IT their lungs am badly diseased; nud yet, In-cause they are in the house they must not sit down quiet : thev must walk about the room as much and n.s fast aa the strength will bear, to get up a good circulation of blood. The Iuuifius muse Keep in guou spirus no neiermmeii o set well. This lias a ureal deal to do wiLh tin appetite, and Is (be great point to gain. To despair of cure alter audi evidence of Its pns slbllltv in the worst cases, and moral certalntv in all others, Is sinful. Dr. Mchenck's personal state ment to the Faculty of hia own cure wut iu these modest words: " Si anv years turn T was In the last stages nf con sumption; con tlned to my bed, and at one time my li IMIHIKHIIMIU 1 COUIlt JJUl IIVt'HWei'K; IIICU, ike a drowning man catciliiir at at raw. 1 heard of and obtained the preparations which I now oiler to the public, and they made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to me that I could feel them penetrate my whole system. They soon ripened the matter In my luiifcs.and I would so t un more thatiaiihitnrntlhri- sive yellow matter every morning for u long time. "As soon ns that began to subside, my cough, fever, pains, nnd night-sweats all began to leave me, and my appetite became so great that It was with dillicuity that I could keep from eating too much. I soon gained my strength, and have grown iu ilenh ever since. I was WOhrhed short! v after mv rwnvorv " nririnri the Doctor, ' then looking like a mere skeleton ; my weight was only ninetv-seven pounds; my present weight In two hundred and twenty-live (22a) ioundH. and for years I have enjoyed uninterrupted health.'1 Dr. Hchenck has discontinued his professional visits to New York and Huston, He or his boh, Dr. J. H. Hchenck, Jr., still continue to see patients at their Ollice, No. lfi North sixth Street, Philadelphia, every Haturday from 0 a.m. to 3 p.m. Those who wish a thorough examination with the Kesnlro meter will be charged f.ri. The Kenpiro meter declares the exact condition of the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether they are curable or not. The directions for taking the medicines are adapt ed to the Intelligence even of a child. Follow these directions, and kind Nature will do the rest, except ing that In some cases the Mandrake Pills are to be taken In Increased doses; the three medicines need no other accompaniments than the ample Instruc tions that accompany them : First create appetite. Of returning health, hunger Is the most welcome symptom, when It comes, as It will come, let the despairing at once he of good cheer, (lood hlood at once follows, the cough loosens, the night-sweat Is abated. In a short time both of these morbid symp toms are gone forever. Dr. Hebe nek's medicines are constantly kept In tennof tboiiNands of families. Asa laxative or pur gative, the Mandrake Pills are a standard prepara tion; while the Pulmonic Hyrup, as a cureof coughs and colds, mav be regarded an a tironlivliuLerin against consumption hi any of Its forms.
