Ilnr. uo.tl Hint.
. Insectioidk. Hot ulnm water is the
best insect destroyer known. Fnt the
ftluui into hot wnter and let it boil till nil
the alum is dissolved; then apply it hoi
with n brush to all cracks, closets, bed
steads and other places where any in
sects are found. Ants, bedbugs, cock
roaches, and creeping things ore killed
by it: while it has no clanger of poison
ing the family or injuring property.
To Removk Iron Rust or Ink Spots.
Moisten the spot nnd apply salts of
lemon until it disappears, and riuse well.
Salts of lemon are made of equal parts of
oxalic and tartaric acid, and any person
can make thorn for their own use.
Another way is to moisten with lemon
juice, sprinkle on salt, nud lay in the
sun. If ink ' is spilled on colored goods
thdt will not hear acids nirnk them imme
diately in sweet milk; boiling hot. Hot
melted tallow poured through ink stains
will remove them.
Oil Stains out op WniTB Cloth.
Make a strong solution of bornx water
one tablespoonful powdered boras to a
pint of boiling wnter; place the cloth on
a clean board or table and rub the oil
stains well, using a clean brush dipped
into the solution; if the spots are of long
standing a very little soap may be used
with the borax wnter; rinse well with
clean hot water, using the brush for that
purpose, then rub dry with a clean soft
cloth.
To Glean Silver. Table silver
should be cleaned at least once or twice
a week, and can easily be kept in good
order and polished brightly in this way:
Hava your dish-pnn half full of boiling
water; place the silver in, so that it may
become warm; then with a soft cloth
dipped into the hot water, soaped and
sprinkled with powdered borax, scour
the silver well; then rinse iu clenu hot
water; dry with a clean, dry cloth.
To Prevent Moths. If a small piece
of paper or linen, moistened with tur
pentine, be placed in wardrobes or draw
ers, two or three times a year, it will ef
fectually prevent any damage from moths.
Wheu furs nre packed away iu the.
spring, they should be beaten well with
a rattan, in order to dislodge any eggs of
the moth; afterward brush thoroughly
and sew up carefully iu a linen pillow
case; over all piu newspapers, leuving
no crevice where an insect could insinu
ate itself. It would be well to paste the
edges of the pane together. It well
done, you need not fear for the most
valuable furs.
How Co Ulaimrtt Orchards.
I have read with interest the notice in
vonr issue of the nineteenth hv "Free
Talker " of one of the meetings of the
Pomologicnl Society when the necessity
of a system of fertilization of orchards
was broached, especially of the orchards
of the Michigan Lake Shore, where the
soil is of a silicious character. This
matter of enriching orchards has been
for some years a subject of some thought
witn me. At length 1 enmo to tuo con
elusion to make an attempt in that di-
rection on about ten acres of apple
orchard. In the spring of 1876 I plowed
the ground as deep as I could, then
sowed one bushel of clover seed; and
dragged it in both ways; this was iu
April. We had nn abundance of rain at
the time the seed was sown, and. after
ward, the consequence was a good catch.
The clover grew all the season without
pasturing. At this time of writing, it
would be called a heavy crop. I am
having it mowed with a scythe. As soon
as it is cut I have it raked under each
tree as far as the limbs spread. This I
leave as a mulch; the second crop I in
tend to let grow the balance of the sea-
son, ripen the seed and thereby restock
the land. In 1878 I think there will be
a heavy crop of clover. If so, I shall
pursue the same course of mowing and
mulching. The second growth of '78 at
a proper time iu the fall I shall plow
under. Thus I shall return to the land
two heavy crops in the shape of mulch.
nnd one, green, plowed uuder. This
will be a cheap and durable way to
enrich our orchards. J. Whittlesey, in

ApiiU'x Every Otlicr Year.
One year ago the country was flooded
by an immense apple crop. They were
not worth the cost of picking mid hous
ing in many places. 1 armers linviu
large orchards were tempted to give up
raising upples as a farm crop, because
when they :vo plenty the price is so low
that there is little prolit from the crop.
and when the price is high there ore no
npples. Why it is so I shall not attempt
to explain, but it seems to be a fact that
npple-trees bear about all their fruit iu
even years. In a few orchards iu New
England the trees bear in odd years, and
in some of the extreme Western States
the habit xi bearing only in even years
does not seem to be as yet fully estab
lished. The tendency, however, seems
to be all that way. Now we wish every
farmer and every fnrmer's son would
make the experiment of picking off all
the fruit from at least one apple tree
this year, as soon as the fruit is as large
as acorns ; and from another tree pick
off the larger portion of the fruit at the
same stage, ana note the results,
Whether the bearing years can be
changed by this course, we are unable
to say with certainty. It has been otteu
claimed that the change might be made
in this way. At any rate the object is
well worth working lor. The tree
should be manured and the ground cul
tivated to stimulate growth and the
formation of fruit buds, as the crop of
fruit is alwoys determined the year pre'
vious. hansna f armer.

A Trlncely Flirtation.
Olive Logan writes in the San Fran
cisco t 'all : At last tho I'nncesB of
Wales has returned to England from
er long visit to her brother tho king of
Greece. It is rumored, howover, that
sho will not be here long, that she con
templates a protracted stay at her
father's court in Denmnrk. Time will
show whether that is the tine report or
not, though whether time will also re
veal the truth of another report is as
princes and princesses do not take the
general public into their confidence
far more doubtful. It is said that the
prince and princess have had a row ;'
that he lately flirted overmuch with tho
Countess of (let us call her) Blank, and
that Alexandra roundly declared that
she would not stand it any longer. So,
ere she quitted England, she had (as I
think I told you before) a convenient
cold, which kept her at home from sun
dry of the family royal entertainments,
and before the useful indisposition had
had time to get thoroughly cured she
turned her back upon her spouse and
went off to Athens just as fast as she
could get there. Most likely it is nil a
got-np story, as were those thrilling
istories which, soon after our Princess
Royal's marriage, were so frequently
manufactured of how tho crown prince
uf.ed to bent his wife and how Prince
Alber; had to be sent over to Berlin to
the rescue. Married people, royal ones
inclusive, will have tiffs sometimes and
oh, how dull conjugal existence would be
if it were not varied now and then with a
little warfare ! and, year after year,
thejPrmce of Wales resemblnnce in fnce,
figure and, it is said, morals, to his
royal predecessor and far distant rela
tive, the eighth Henry, grows more
striking. The royal Tudor of six wives
memory was, as all readers of English his
tory know, terribly given to the tender
passion, but in these correcter days not
even king or prince can send better half af
ter better half to the scaffold or divorce
court, and therefore Albert Edward is
able to indulge in nothing more hurtful,
however aggravating, than flirtotions.
Possession is nine points of the law,
and thus Alexandra has clearly the ad
vantage over every countess or other
female rival, be she ever so fascinating.
There is also a report that the Duchess
ot Edinburgh has been too much inter
fered with (by a certain distinguished
personage) in her household concerns,
in her private exr)enaitures, etc., ana
has taken umbrage thereat, all of which
demonstrates clearly the fact that royal
mothers-in-law strongly resemble other
mothers-in-law. Any way it is a great
comfort to us commoners to think that
royal people have their trials as well as
other folks, which truism reminds one of
what Thackeray once said namelv,
thot it is always easy for us to bear the
misfortunes of others.
Queer Friendship of a Cat mid Horse.
When Mr. Huntington removed from
East Bloomfield to this city, says the
Rochester (N. Y.) Express of a recent
date, a white cat was left upon his
premises there. This cat had been a
great pet with two little boys of the
family, and cried so much about the old
place, missing the boys, that Mr. li.
brought her up to the city. Dnring
the spring he also brought the stallion
Narragausett here, whom the cat at once
recognized as an old acquaintance, hav
ing been accustomed to daily visit his
box stall when in the country, to watch
for mice about his feed box, or for a
quiet nap, nnd in due time the two be
came warm friends. Upon the arrival
of Narragausett at Mr. H.'s stable hero
the cat at once renewed her daily visits
to his box. at which the horse seemed
pleased.
inst Monday evening tne cat troubled
the family by continual crying, refusing
food, until at last Mr. H. said she
wanted to get into the barn, which was
proved the moment Mr. H. started for
it. Immediately in the barn the cat
went to where Narragausett stood, mak
ing for herself a nest in front of his fore
feet, uuder his head, and expressed her
comfort by her quiet. As Mr. H. re
turned to the house the barn was left
open iu case the cat wished to come agaiu
to the house. In the morning as Mr. 11.
went to his horse, there was still puss,
as comfortable as could be, close to the
feet of Narragausett, together with a
little family of live, aud the horse evi
dently aware there was something by
his foot he would hurt should he step
about much. The cat seems to have no
fear, but goes and comes as she likes,
while Narrngansett, by way of amuse
ment, will often put his head down to
the little family as if to inquire how thev
are all getting along. Should the old
cat happen to be there during these fre
quent inspections she manifests no un
easiness, while should any children or
strangers disturb by a look even Kittie
would soon hide her little family, as she
frequently hos, in some new place.
Dentistry in the United Stales.
That people are becoming aroused
upon the subject of teeth can be seen
from the employment of from 11,000 to
l.UUU dentists iu our country alone,
who, according to the best nuthority, are
annually packiug into cavities iu teeth
ho less than half a ton of pure gold,
costing, owing to the great amount of
labor required to furnish it, about hail
a million dollars, or one three-huudreth
part of all the gold in the United States,
Besides this, there, probably is iu
weight four times as much cheaper ma
terial used tor tilling cavities m teeth,
costing about 8150,000. In this country
there are annually made about three mil
lions of artillcial teeth, mounted upon
plates of gold, vulcanite aud platiua,
which contribute to keep the fingers of
this busy profession at work. What is
more wonderful is that not half of the
people avail themselves of their valuable
services who need them, not only for
their health and happiness, but to main
tain beauty of form and complexion of
the face. From statistics taken iu
America, it has been ascertained that
out of an average of about eighty people
of all classes, as we find them, only one
con be fouud with perfect dental organs.
All the rest are troubled more or less
with decayed teeth. Farrur's Dental

Waking up Grizzlies.
Texas Jack writes from the wilds of
Wyoming Territory : " I came ne;ir
getting into a scrape with two grizzly
bears the day before yesterday. One of
the Englishmen and myself saw them at
a distance and headed them off with 'our
Eonies. When we came up they were
oth lying asleep under tl shade of a
scrubby pine. The ponies were so
frightened that I had to hold to them
while ho shot.'. One fell dead, but the
other made for us. My horse wheeled.
I fired and struck him just as he wus
coming up to my friend. The shot stop
ped him, but he recovered soon, and we
Lad a lively time rushing attmnd
through the brush for a little while.
He eventually hid and we lost him
but' the other one's skin is lying
camp, and I don't think the Englishrjau
will want to see any more bear very
soon."
CAVALRY OF HISTORY.
Tlie Troop In Ancient Time 'hnr nnd
Improvement In the Nerrlre In Enrmie.
Originally horses were only used in
war for tho purpose of bnnguig tne
chiefs fresh into action, nnd iliis was
effected by menus of chariots, from
which the warriors descended and Lmgbt
on foot. Even when cavalry proper first
came into use tho horsemen did not
charge in organized bodies or engage in
hand to hnud encounters, their arms
boing bows and arrows, or javolins. In
fact, the first cnvnlry were but mouuted
skirmishers. When Xerxes invaded
Greece the Persian host comprised
cavalry who were accustomed to charge
iu regular formation nnd light hand to
hand with the enemy. Alexauder tho
Grent wns apparently the first nmong
the Greeks to understand the proper use
of cavalry and to derive full advantage
from their momentum. His cavalry
were o three sorts: heavy, with coats of
mail, helmets and brazen greaves, swords
and short pikes; light, with lances six
teen feet long, used mainly for outpost
duty; and dimachi, genuine dragoons,
accustomed to fight either on foot or
horseback. Alexauder organized his
cavalry in troops two huudred and fifty
strong, with eight ranks. Between the
troops he placed light infantry, a prac
tice which has found favor with com
manders who lived two thousand years
later." The early Romau cavalry used
neither saddle nor stirrups, wore no
cuirass, and had only a shield and
helmet. Their arms were light lances,
javelins and swords. They sat on a pad,
kept in its place by a girth, a breast
plate and a crupper. Xhe Boman caval
ry, as such, were for some time only
used for reconnoitering purposes, and to
pursue a beaten enemy. As late as the
battle of Cumins tho Roman knights
leaped oil their horses to fight. Hanni
bal introduced great improvements in
the Carthnginiau cavalry, and the
Romans, ever ready to learn from nn
enemy, followed his example, nnd raised
the mouuted branch to a iiigu pitch of
ellicieucy.
The Germnus formed their cavalry in
double order, with sometimes ns many
os sixteen ranks. Their method of
fighting was by riding up to the enemy
withoutcharging, and upon arriving with'
in range of their pistols.they fired two
pistol shots each and then the front rank
wheeled to the right or left and unmask'
ed the second, which took up the fire
while the leading rank were retiring to
the rear, where they tormed up in rev
serve aud recharged their pistols. Each
rank did this in turn until the whole
force had discharged their weapons. A
practice arose among the French cavalry
of charging at full speed, sword in hand,
and the result was always the overthrow
of their opponents. Yet gradually the
French adopted the vicious practice of
the Germans, and soon all over Europe
the lance and sword were obandoned for
a pistol, and the pace of the charge re-
dnced to a trot. Hence, for some time.
cuvalry was of little use iu war. Gusta
vus Adolphus was, perhaps, one of the
greatest military " reformers that ever
lived. He reduced the depth of cavalry
to three ranks, retained only the cuirass
and helmet in the heavy cavalry, abolish
ed defensive armor altogether for the
light cavalry, and ordered the cavalry to
charge ot speed, and after a single dis
charge of pistols of the first rank, to
dash in with the sword. His successes
caused his practice to be adopted all
over Europe. Frederick the Great im-
proved on the lessons of Gustavus
Adolphus, aud brought the tactics, the
organization, the drill and tho mdivid'
ual instruction of his cavalry to great
perfection. The Austrian regular horse
still deppnded much on their Hie Hud
were cumbrous in their movements. The
French either attacked, without squadron
intervals, at a trot, or at speed, in
dispersed order.
" All Busted to Death."
About nine o'clock yesterday morning
a boy ran up to a policeman standing on
Monroe avenue, and called out in an ex
cited voice:
"Come on come down here hurry
up 1
"What's tho row, boy !" calmly iu
quired the otlicer.
" Man busted all to death down here !'
" Shoo I"
" Yes'r 1 He drank two glasses of
soda water, and busted up like a biler
I stood right there and saw the whole
'splosiou. "
" Now, boy, you go back aud see
you were not mistaken," said the officer,
" If there's a dead man there I'll go
down. See if the coroner is there, and
if any ofheers are around.
The boy ran back, and after being ab
sent about fifteen minutes he returned
at a slouchy gait and explained:
" I got the fucts a little mixed. The
fellow called for two glusses of soda, pu
'em away as fast as he could, and then
didn't have any money to pay. I thought
the soda busted him up, but 'twas the
soda man who did it. He hauled off,
and he drew back, and he shut his jaws,
and he busted that stranger in nicuior
of '70. He just came to his senseB as
got there.and he's rolling his eyesaroun
and sticking out his tongue and purteud'
ing that he's made at least nine cents out
o' the performance. You'd better go
down and draw him in lor forgery.'

Sounding Truths.
Says the Reno (Nev.) Gazette : Now,
we don't expect to check stock gambling
iu the least, nor have we any desire to
interfere with any man's right to bet
his money, but there are, it seems to us,
a few points upon which we may all
agree : .
The man of family has uo right to put
tho comfort aud support of his little
ones on a margin in the stock market.
Stocks that are half bought belong to
capitalists.
A dollar iu the store is worth two iu
the stock market.
Every mau may own the controlling
interest iu a home ; very few can control
mines.
Shares in a homestead always pay divi
dends. No man can win unless another lose.
When one covetous man gets rich, one
hundred get poor. It is always best to
be slow and sure, and let well enough
alone.
A White Army.
An English correspondent with the
Russian army invading Bulgaria says"
"The .white caps showed iu a dense
mass anions the willow trees of the
Argis ; it was as if a mighty host was
pouring throucrh the little plain so far,
stretched the concourse of stalwart
soldiers. This army is a white army
now, white to the last shred, save facings
aud bootu. Officers and men Jwear a
loose, white canvas blouse which is the
Verfection of a campaigning garment for
warm weather. The white of it is not
so nronounced as to dazzle in the sun'
shine, nor do the dust of the roads and
the stains of the bivouac foul it into
absolute dingine6s. It can be washed
and dried in an hour."
THE WAIF OF DEADWOOD.

.That was the only ba-'gaia ever made

nud curiously, too, part aud parcel of

Anil a torrent ot tears told the earnest

About Diamonds.
Diamonds are fonud as little rouuil
pebbles, covered with a thin, brownish
crust, and serai-trauripareut. When this
brown contiug is taken off they are color
less, but some are found tinged with red,
orange, yellow, brown or blaek. Those
without any color are the most valuable,
and called "diamonds of the first water."
Diamonds were first found in India and
the Island of Borneo. The most cele
brated mines in India are those of Gol
conda aud Boalcondal. But most of
these stones imported into Europe and
America now come from Brazil, where
they were nrst discovered in 1728. Tho
art of cutting diamonds was discovered
by Louis vou Berquen, of Bruges, in
1456. It is now principally carried on
by Hebrews at Amsterdam. Perhaps
the most precious diamond in the world
is the "Pitt diamond," which was
bought in 1743 by the regent Duke of
Orleans, who paid 675,000 for it. The
stone is now valued at $1,000,000. The
cutting occupied two years, and reduced
the weight from 410 to 136 carats. The
Empress Catherine paid 8450,000 and a
large annuity for a diamond weighing
194 carats, and about as large as a
pigeon's egg.
Tnrklsli Love of Wnter.
A Turk, writes a correspondent from
Constan;iuople. thinks he con do nothing
so grateful to God and tnriu as the set
ting up of a fountain by the rondsideor
in tho streets of the City, where the woy
fnrer aud his animals may appease their
thirst nnd bless the name of him who
provided for their waDts. Often in my
travels in the interior of Turkey I have
halted beneath the shade of a wide
spreading plane tree to sloke my thirst
ot the limped waters of a marble foun
tain, and to repose from the nood-day
heot.
There is always some edifying distich
from the Koran, that "'Watetis the gilt
of God, blessed is he who distributes

and heolth," etc. The Turks are great
consumers of water, aud they are good
'udges of its quality and nice iu whi t
they use. The favo'ite water that is

reform and retrenchment, and of the substitution of
statesmanship, wisdom, and integrity for hollow pre
tence, imbecility, and fraud fn the administration of
publio affairs. It contend forth toTernment of the
people by the people and for the people, aa opposed to
government by f rands in the ballot-box and in the count
ing of voted, enforced by military Tiolenee. It endeavors
to supply its readers a body now not far from a million
of souls with the most careful, complete, and trust
worthy account of cut rent events, and employs for thit
purports b numerous and carefully selected staff of re
porters and correspondents. Its reports from Washing
ton, especially, are full. accurate, and fearless; and it
doubtless continues to deserve and enjoy the hatred of
those who thrive by plundering theTreaeuryor by usurp
ing what the law does not give th&tn, while it endeavors
to merit the confidence of the publieby defending the
rights of the people against the encroachments of un
justified power.
