The Christian f. "":. - A correspondent of the Scientific Amrriran recommends turpentine as a cure for lockjaw. He Bays: "Let nr one who has an attack of lock- iaw take a small quantity of turpen- tine, warm it and pour it on the mind, no matter where the wound is, and relief will follow in less than one minute. Nothing better can be applied to a severe cut or bruise than told turpentine: it will give certain relief almost instantly. Turpentine is also a sovereign remedy for croup; saturate a piece of flannel with it and place it on the throat and chest, and in severe ca'scs three to five drops on a lump of BUgar may be taken in wardly. Every family should have a bottle on hand." . The remedy is Bimple and easily tested. In all seri ous cases an application should be made under needful advice. The following lotion is superior for a shampooning liquid, for removing dandruff and as a useful and pleasant application for baldness. It is, of course, moderately Btimulat'mg, and fn those cases in which the hair fol-. licles are not destroyed, but have be come merely inactive, it is likely to prove efficacious. Acetic acid, one drachm; cologne watei, one ounce; water, to make in all sii ounces. To wash calicoes, put wheat bran in a bag, boil, and take half the water to wash it, and the other to rinse in ; use soap. This will cleanse without fadinjr. and stiffens them without eiarch.

By this method you not only lose time, but lose many apples ; and what you do keep over winter are in bad condition. Apples may be kept in barrels that &re quite open; but the best and cheapest w,ay to keep them is in crates or boxes made ic the following manner : The ends or headpieces should be ten or twelve inches by fifteen to eighteen long. They can be sawed or fplit Nail your board on the bottom and sides leaving places for ventilation. Have your boards all the about three feet same Iengtu- When you gather your apples from tbe trees, put them in these boxes (be careful not to bruise them) and lay the boxes on each other in . your apple house. Two men cr.n handle these boxes with case. You can look your apples over with but little trouble. When you are ready to ship just nail a board over the top and you are ready. In this way you can get your apples to market in good condi tion and handle them but once. Keep your house as cold as possible at all times, without freezing. Tbe Mm With (he Paper 'p .

A Florida correspondent not long clnno tiTotB vrrv flnthasiastically of his experience with the'"gamcbt f-sh in the State," as he called tbe chan nel bass. Wc extract the following: I caught my first chancel bass at Turtle Mound, on a Cuddy hunk book, which was much too small. Stand ing upon the point of a spit of sand, I cast the mullet baited book fifty feet into the water. Five minutes passed before a bite. The fish was fastened and reeled in. It was a two-pound cat-Csh of a delicate preen color. In the ean it had the luf-ter of a green tk dress, A 6econd time I drew in a green cat-fish. Then half an hour elapsed without a bite. -I crew discouraged, and running up the liao from the reel, 1 1) .ked back and saw my reel nir.j: out at a smokiDg speed. run- Tl.e rod hud fctartt d over tue s:u:d Ixf f. trrt 1 reached it The C.-h was evident!' a large via :i')d wiitited plav 1! e ran in ani d -wri lie river as ihna-li he was doied u :tl laogbing gas. It wai tea minutes beftre he txcp.ni'j quiet, und I began to wnik the reel. When within twenty feet of the sbure he made a teeond taking two hundred feet cf line, I cculd fcl him shake Lis head, and tryto get th bait out of his mouth as he sped away. Then he ran in on me like a race horse, faster than I could take in the slack. Dashing into the shallow water he took a look at his tormentor. Jt was not satisfactory. Making a wide Kvvppn he flirted the foam into jny f with his tailed again saiied off into the river: raisin? a swell upon lhe enrface of .he water. For an ia- . , . he was cjuie t a there la at r - . -ft- j Finally the f.sh became quiet and was reeled in I had no gaff book, and was about to stick my lingers m- i to his gills, and drawhim upon the sand, when Dr. tox, my guide, saiu, j "Catei him under the fore fins; be s got teeth ia his gills." I found two j pockets or armpits under his fins, and pulled bim ashore. lie was a chan nel bas, weighing twenty-two nds. Within twenty minutes I nour took a second one. weijrbinsr a little short of fourteen pounds. At Seven ty, near Pepper Hammock, I caught a twenty-five- pound fellow. I camped six days on th.o shore of Dannana river, in a wild orange and lemon grove. Ilcfore leaving Smyr na, Mr. Lawrence, of New York, gave me a small clothes line, over 300 feet long, with a heavy sinker ard a hook nearly five inches long, backed up by an enormous shank. Every night ot dark I w as in the habit of tying the line to the limb of a cabbage tree overhanging the camp Ere. Afterward I would bait tbc, hook witbhalf a mullet, take the feinker out the full length of the line, and drop it overboard. One night after I hd gone to bed there was trouble in the old cabbage tree. The limbs were cracking and dancing over the embers of the camp fire as though the spirits of the air were at work. Duster, our dog, was barking like all possessed.' Housed from as sound- sleep, it was some moments before I could realize what was the matter. It struck me like a flash. I dashed out of the tent in my bare feet, stood upon the benrti in the soft light of the moon, and pent fifty minutes in getting to the shore a bass that weighed fifty-three pounds. At times I couldn't hole him. He' absolutely drew meover the shore. When I landed him I was dripping with sweat. The splashing of the water and my shouting to my com rades started a regiment of owls, and they filled the woods w ith unearthly hoots. Tbe owls started the alliga tors, and the allfgators, tbe herons, and the herons the wild cats, while hords of drum fish beat a general alarm. Dr. Fox scaled the bass with a grubbing hoc. The most of the scales were as large as silver dol lars. Keeping Dell on bheep. Dogs that are disposed to kill sheep, know better. Hence any un usual noise, like the ringing rf a bell, whenever they are about to attack the sheep, frightens . them so that they abandon their blood thirsty project II. W. Mathewson, of Ctiuntcticut, writes to the Country Gentleman as follows : "The effect of the bell in prevent ing damage to sheep by dogs has been well proved in this vicinity the past season. Of fourteen flocks with out bells but one escaped; in five flocks, with bells ou each sheep, no damage was done. Mr. D. Fowler, of Middlefield, had a flock partially belled, and lost but one sheep, which strayed into another lot, was with out a bell, and was killed. Mr. A. 15. Coc bought a flock and put it in- a lot adjoining the former, and soon found two dogs at work at the forty fifth sheep. The dogs belonged with in a quarter of a mile, and passed Mr. i-owler'8 eheep in getting into Mr. Coe's flock. Dogs, after getting tbe taste of blood of unbelled sheep, may attack sheep with bells on ; yet I believe if all the sheep were belled, trouble from dogs would be very rare. The great difficulty has been to get bells which did not wear the strap off. Bells with shanks to penetrate the strap will wear it off in a few weeks. I have found bells of all 6i?es, made by Bevins Crothers, of East Hamp ton, Ct., cast with staples for the strap to pass through, which move on tbe strap, and all the wear does not come in one place ; the strap can be drawu out to oil. To be safe, every ebeep and lamb should wear a bell I.iqnM rDBOlHtlOB. A very amusing application for the privilege of opening a saloon, or pjb lic house as it is called in England, was made in the ancient cit of York recently. A publican, presumably a sinner, applied to the authorities for license to open such a place near tbo cemetery. There was, ho explained, at present no place for persons to go for a Eliniulam when depressed by grief at the graveside of their friends. In making his application be was backed by the lodge keeper, and sin- ! gularly enough, the chaplain. The latter s motive must have been pure philanthropy. The former had a tinge ot thrift in it "At present," he said, "these depressed persons come to my lodge, aud 1 have to givo them my own brandy, for I should bo fined if I sold it to them." The logic of this is unanswerable.. If brandy is a necessity at a funeral, there ought to be some means of supply ing it without loss to a poor lodge kpcr. But the theory of tubstitu. ting ardent lor departed fpirits as a means of consolation always to be appealed to did not seem" properly established, and tbe license was refused. cone ncari v tw uuuvw .vu THE IIET25 ' Grand Square Piano.
