To be a successful counterfeiter re
quires rare mechanical skill, an utter
contempt Tor the law, and a reckless
disregard for the results which (unless
the criminal is fortunate enough to
to have powerful friend and a plenty
of money) are almost sure to follow de
tection in committing what is looked
upon by government authorities (if
they are honest) as the unpardonable
sin. The business of counterfeiting has
had, i n years gone by, some of the blest
men in the country in their particular
line as its exponents, and their methods
of doing busiue&i have been almost past
finding out; but, thanks to the United
States secret service department, cou
pled with tliose of local detective
oliii-ers all over the country, the busi
ness of manufacturing, dealing in and
shovrhg the " queer" has been uiade so
dangerous tUat but few dare run the
risk. Then, again, the abolition of
State banks has done much toward put
ling a check to the business. For the
iur(ose of giving the reader an insight
into the uutlut operandi of counterfeiters,
the following explanation is given.
When genuine notes are made, one
plate contains four transfers from the
t-ame dies, and when printed every set
of impressions makes four bills. These
lour1 bills are distinguished by different
letters: A, B, C, I. The counterfeiter
selects a bill representing one of the
above letters, from which to engrave a
bill. It may be the letter "A." This
plate represents only one single letter
or note; while the genuine represents
four, differing only in letters. A, then,
in the ouly letter of that denomination,
of that particular bank or treasury note,
that has been counterfeited. B, C, and
1), of the same denomination, are all
gt'iiuine, and, if tit plate has been cap
tured, may at all times hi taken without
risk. When a letter of a plate has been
counterfeited, genuine notes of that
particular letter are always retired by
the bank, through the redemption
agency, and by this means taken out of
circulation. Supposing, how ever, a let
ter of any particular plate has been suc
cessfully counterfeited, and the bills
printed, the next thing is to get them
into circulation, and this is done in the
following manner: Between the manu
facturers and dealers there is a class
of men called the "boodle carriers."
These men, who in every instance, are
men who have been weighed in the
balance and not found wanting, take a
large quantity of the "queer" money
aud start off upon a trip for the purpose
of supplying the dealers, who, in nine
cases out of ten, are prominent business
men. This package of money is called
the "boodle." The dealers or agents,
one of whom can generally be found in
i:early every city and town of any ira
iwrtaiice in the country, having been
supplied, they in their turn sell it to the
"shuvers," with the understaudiug that
it shall not be put into circulation until
a certain day. Upon that day, if the
"dealers" and "shovers" have kept
faith, very large quantities are put in
circulation, and before the community
can be warned by the authorities or
through the newspapers that such a bill
or coin is "queer," the counterfeiters
have made a good haul and stepped out.
The "shovers" who are sometimes men,
and oftentimes women, purchase the
money from the dealer, a single bill or
coin at a time, so that, if they are ar
rested while attempting to pas it, there
is nothing found upon them by which
their pecu 1 iar cal 1 i ng can be ascertained ,
and it is a very difficult matter to con
vict oue of the gentry, who, in slang
parlance, is at all "fly."
Gold coins, checks and bonds are
counterfeited in various ways, but only
the most expert orfrators are in posses
sion of skill and daring enough to at
tempt the last mentioned feat. Such
men as "Spence" I'ettis, George and
Byron Bid well and Geo. McDonald
were adepts in this particular line of
business. All four are now "doing"
time, the first mentioned in the Massa
chusetts State prison, and the last three
iu England, where they are serving
out a life sentence for one of the most
daring counterfeiting schemes in the
criminal calendar of the world. When
counterfeiters desire to enter into a
speculation on gold coin, they take, we
will say for the sake of illustration, a
$2 gold piece and saw it into three
pieces; taking the reverse aud head por
tions of the coin, they will fill them in
with platinum, or any other substance
of sufficient weight, solder and refill
them, aud thy are again ready for cir
culation. The value of the metal extracted out
of a $20 piece is generally about $15, so
it will be seen that the business is quite
profitable. Coins of a smaller denomi
nation are doctored iu the same way,
and when silver is the metal counter
feited, it is generally so clumsily done
that almost anybody can readily detect
the difference between the genuine and
the base coins.
She Innr! in her Shroud.
Several mouths ago Mrs Marlon Ilil
litz of Kichmond, Va., a highly respect
able and wealthy German lady, was
taken ill, and, in order to receive proper
nursing and treatment, was removed to
the hospital t-f the Little Sisters of the
Poor, in the western part of the city.
She was very popular with the inmates
of that institution, and during her stay
made many friends. About two weeks
since Mrs. iiillitz, who had been in bad
health, grew suddenly quite ill. Dur
ing her illness she received every atten
tion from the good sisters, and all that
medical aid could do to alleviate her
suffering was done. She grew worse,
however, and some of the physicians
came to the conclusion that she could
not live much longer. Last Saturday
nigM she died, and was laid out Sunday
night. The body was according to the
custom, shrouded and placed in the
parlor of the institution. The good
Sisters, who had watched by her bed
side so faithfully, were gathered by the
side of the corpse at midnight, when the
clock struck twelve. Hie Sisters did
not grow weary i l their faithful watch
over the dead Sister. Suddenly, as
they looked upon her face still in death
the sunken eyes appeared to flash, the
blood came back to the faded cheek
and, as though Imbued with super
human energy, the dead body rose up
from its resting place, which was drap
ed with a black pall, emblematic of
mourning, and spoke to the affrighted
watchers saying, "I am not dead yet,
but I will die soon." The old lady then
danced around the room, sang, and
shouted In a loud and ringing voice.
The inmates wei thunderstruck and
paralized. As soon as the nurses re
covered from their fright they placed
the old lady in bed, where she lingered
until nine o'clock, when she again ap
parently died.
Mr. Parts Looking for a Light.
One night during the troubles in the
Pennsylvania coal regions, Judge Potts
brother, Thomas Potts, was round at a
meeting of the mine owners, and after
the adjournment he stepped -into a
tavern. While there,, be met some
friends, and in the course of an hour or
two he got very intoxicated. On his
way home he lost his bat, and a miner,
who knew him, feeling compassion for
him, claped on his head a miner's bat;
and, iu order to make the dark street
look brighter, he lighted the lamp in
front ot the hat. When Potts reached
the bouse his wife had gone to bed, aud
the lights were out ; but Potts felt cer
tain the lamp was burning in the hall,
but he couldn't for the life of him tell
where it was.
lie looked at the regular lamp and it
seemed to be out; then hunted in every
direction for the light, but he was una
ble to find it, although it seemed to
shine, brightly wherever he went.
Presently he happened to stop in front
of the mirror in the hat rack, and then
he saw precisely where the light waS'
After a brief objurgation upon Mrs.
Potts for leaving a light in such a place
he wviit up to the mirror aud tried to
blow it out. lie blew aud blew, but
somehow the llauie burned as steadily
as before. . , '
"That," said Potts, "is the most ex
traor'nary lamp' ever been my misfor
tune t' encounter."
Then he took off his coat, and, hold
ing it in front of him, crept cautiously
up to the mirror, and tried to crush the
ooat over the lamp,' which still burned
brightly. He said :
"That's cert'inly very extra'uory!
Moz 'stoni-hiir circumstanz ever come
un'er mv oliservation. iKui'o how to
'count for it !" ' '
It occurred to him, that perhaps he
might smash the lamp with an umbrel
la. Seizing the weapon, he went up to
the hat, and, aiming a terrible blow t
the light.hebrought the umbrella down
He missed, and smashed his Sunday hat
into chaos. He took aim again, and
caught the umbrella in the lamp over
head, bringing it down with a crash'
Then lie tried a third time, and plunged
the ferrule of the umbrella through the
mirror, smashing it to atoms. He felt
exultant for a moment, as the light dis
appeared from his vision, but be was
perplexed to find there was another
light somewhere. So liesatdow u on
the stairs aud remarked :
"Moz 'stonishing circumstanz ever

incomprehensible! Wish to gracious

Then Potts took off his hat to scratch
his head, iu the hope that he might
scare up an idea, and the truth flashed
iimii him. Gazing at the lamp for a
moment, until he drank in a full con
ception of the trouble it had caused him,
he suddenly smashed it down on the
floor in rage, and extinguished it tfter
covering two yards of cartiet with
grease. Then he went to bed, and in
the morning Mrs. Potts informed him
that some of those horrible miners had
broken into the house the night before,
and left one of their hats with a lamp
Potts turned over in bed so that she
could not see his face, and said if the
stern hand of the law wasn't laid njMtri
those ruffians soon, nobody's life wouid

Old Coaest4Ka.
These were the land-ships for carry
ing merchandise between Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh, Pa., which was the
central point front which tbey were
distributed to what was then the far
west; in common parlance 'the bsck
woods.' The time of transit occupied
nearly one month ; if the wagoner would
give a guarantee to deliver the goods in
three weeks, he would receive an extra
compensation. I am sorry that I can
not gi "e the ruling price in freight per
cwt., for in those days there was ko
short hundreds nor tons; the lawful
standard of weight was strictly com
plied with and so understood by all
parties. The load was sometimes made
up of what was called 'piece loading,'
that is belonging to two or more parties ;
the freight in such cases was at a high
er rate. The team was made up of six
large sized active horses who were fed
principally on oats, sometimes corn for
a change, with but very little bay. The
wagon was made large and strong with
a cover of strong tow lined, supported
by wooden bows. A box with a lid was
affixed to the left side of the body for
the purpose of carrying currycomb,
brush and sponge ; sometimes a bottle of
whisky was very carefully 6towed away
with other extras. A feeding trough
large enough to feed six horses was
hung at tiie end of the wagon body by
two chains; in this the wagoner's bed
and bedding were carried when on the
road. When a stop was made to stay
over night or to feed, the traces of the
saddle horse were detached, the horse
moved around and the trough put on the
tongue, made fast by iron fixtures for
the purpose, a prop put under the end
of the tongue, and all the horses detach
ed would take, their places around the
trough and very impatiently await the
wagoner with a long bag of oats on his
shoulder. Th is done the wagoner would
take his whip, hang it up in the bar
room and take a drink. These teams sel
dom traveled alone, sometimes four or
five, at others ten or fifteen in one com
pany. At bed time each one would
select a place on the bar-room floor for
bis bed and in the morning roll it np in
a bundle and buckle a strap round it
ready for the next night. The gears
were disposed of by running the end of
a rail between the spokes of the wheel
and under the wagon body, and hanging
the gears on the rail; these raili;
were provided by the landlord for his
customers. In the morning the horses
were cleaned and fed before breakfast,
and then seldom fed again until even
ing, except in very warm days in sum
mer; tbey seldom made more than ten
or fifteen miles a day and had their fav
orite places to stop at. If a landlord
affronted one, it was soon known to all
the others and tbey would drive past
him. Hauling to Pittsburgh at that
time was considered a good paying bus
iness and many farmers of Chester and
Lancaster counties would send their
teams a trip or two in the winter and
sometimes a trip after corn planting.
These were looked upon as militia by
the regular teamsters and treated with
some shyness. These teams loaded for
common roads very seldom patronized
turnpike companies. About two tons
were a load for six horses. There was
a scarcity of freight from west to east,
mostly flour at low rates, and many
teams had to return empty; hence the
saying That the main profit is in the
back load.
AGRICULTURE.
How to Plough. A great deal of
false doctaine has been promulgated
upon the subject or subsoil ploughing.
This was a great mistake, as many soils
do not need it at all. On land which
has a hard crust at the bottom of the
furrows, subsoiling, to break this crnst
and let the water and air through it, is
exceedingly beneficial, and the clay
lands need subsolling ror the same pur
pose. We should understand the prin
ciples of plough-making. When I take
my boy to the field and set him to
ploughing, I must first tell him bow to
set up his plough so that it will take a
furrow of the proper width and depth.
He must be taught to have the draught
in the centre so as to require the least
labor of the ploughman in keeping the
plough in its place with the furrow
neither too narrow nor too wide. He
must also know hew to construct the
plow so as to get the right depth and
keep the plough level all the time. To
make the plough take the right width
of furrow, the iron work and the beam
must be set at cross purposes that is
the land slide, from point to beei must
cross the line of the beam. The great
difficulty with swivel ploughs has been
that they will not take sufficient land.
They are not set sufficiently at cross
purposes, so that when at work they
easily run into the last furrow. The
boy should understand all these things
before he starts his team ; then, if the
plough fails to run steadily and easily,
he will know bow to remedy the diffi
culty, and not be like a man I once
knew, who used a plow for a whole
year, grumbling about it all the time
because it took too small a furrow, but
did not see that the clevis pin was in a
side note all the time.
Bkhixt, the end In view in milking
cows, is to empty the milk vessels com
pletely, by means ot a progressive pres
sure, exerted nret Dy tue thumoand in
dex finger and subsequently by the rest
of the fingers. Part of the milk will be
left behind unless good care be taken
not to strangle the nipple at its base
befoie pressing it, thus rendering part
or the lorce applied of no avail.- Inex
perienced persons sometimes think that
they get on faster by proceeding hastily
to the alternating movements required
in milking ; this is a very great mistake,
resulting in an incomplete milking to
begin with, unnecessary fatigue to the
operator and a great deal of distress to
the cow. The milkers should always
have their nails cut short, and if a cow 's
teats are painful from inflammation or
any other cause, care should be taken
not to increase her sufferings. The
teats should be anuointed with some
fatty matter free from salt, or simply
with a few drops of milk. Those who
exercise the greatest care, patience and
gentleness in the matter of milking
cows, will be rewarded with the best
results.
Destrotinc the odor of Stabijm.
"What can I use in a horse stable to
neutralize the strong odor T Something
cheap enough to allow the use of a
liberal quantity, if necessary." To re
move the onensive smell of stables, or.
better still, to prevent its appearance
at all, either a liberal and frequent
sprinkling or well dried and sifted
earth, or of ground plaster, will prob
ably be found effectual. Plaster is often
used foi this purpose, but in many lo
calities tne dried earth would be so
much cheaper that it would be worth
trying. If used in sufficient uuantitv.
it absorbs all odor of human excrement
in the privy, and it will do the same
purifying work in the stables if also
used liberally there. It may be found
on trial that a small quantity of plaster
will accomplish as much as a lurge
quantity ot earth, so that the labor of
handling the material will be less. A
solution of copperas oi green vitriol,
sprinkled over the floor from time to
time, also makes a very good disinfec
tant. Fa8turin Cows. Cows should be
turned out to pasture as soon as the
r eather is mild enough for their com
fort, and when the ground is dry enough
not to poach. Harris Lewis, the Xew
York dairyman, claims that cattle
which are put out at such a time will
be more profitable to the owner than
those which are kept longer in the
barn. A cow seems to know from In
stinct when the grass has started, and
becomes impatient of delay. Besides,
the change from bay to grass is then so
gradual as to be almost imperceptible.
There is no shock to her system if the
hay rations are continued regularly for
a time, and it is best that they should
be.
Thb only method of destroying the
currant borer, that we know of, is to
cut out all affected wood below the in
sects' quarters, and burn it or otherwise
destroy the borers by digging them from
me wooa. such cutung-iu will tend
rather to improve thau to injure the
plants, as most people allow far too
much old wood to remain upon their
currant bushes. With the old wood
thinned out, the fruit will be larger and
better. Cut out all old or wilting shoots
as soon as discovered.
An Enchanted Metal.
Among the most remarkable features
of the progress made in modern times,
are the new metals which have been
added to the ancient list. Gold and
silver, copper, iron, lead, fcc, these have
been familiar for thousands of years
but it is only comparatively recently that
the existence of other metals has been
demonstrated. The last discovered is
Gallium, which possesses such singular
properties as to seem enchanted. In
general appearance it looks like lead,
though it is not of so blue a color, and
might be termed exaggerated lead on
account of the extreme facility with
which it can be melted. An amonnt of
heat less than that of the hand (86 de
F.) reduces It toa state of fusion, when ij
resembles quicksilver. Though subjected
to cold down to zero, it does not become
hard again, but remains a liquid metal
till touched with a pieceof solid gallium,
when it returns to its original condition
as if beneath the wand of a magician.
A species of alum may be derived from
it, not to be distinguished from common
alum without chemical analysis. Gal
lium is flexible, and can be hammered
like lead, or cut with a knife; but it only
becomes slightly tarnished in a damp
atmosphere. It crystalizes in the shape
of an octahedron. At present it is a
rare metal, only about a dozen grains
having been extracted from a half ton
of zinc-blends from the Pyrenees. The
discovery Is a great triumph and a tes
timony to the truth of scientific theories,
because it was foreseen by three inde
pendent observers some time before de
monstration. Mr. Newlands, an Eng
lish chemist, had several years before
expressed his belief In the existence of
a metal of the kind. M. Mendlejeff, a
Russian, predicted from a study of the
atomic numbers of the elements, that a
metal would be found to fill a vacant
space in the series, and actually gave its
probable specific gravity, which agrees
closely with the result of experiments
with gallium. Finally, M. Lecoq de
Boisbaudnan, following up an original
system of spectrum analysis applied to
zinc-blend for this very purpose, pro
duced the metal itself, and gave it from
France (Gaul), the country In which
the discovery was made, the name of
gallium.
SCIENTIFIC.
IIauforT Wood-Preserving Procesi.
The various processes for preserving
wood have for their object the preven
tion or arrest of fungoid growth. This
is sought to be accomplished by two
main systems; one of which consists In
impregnating the wood with a solution
of a metallic salt, such as corrosive sub
limate, chloride of zinc, or sulphate of
copper, and the other includes the
several, creosote processes. The action
of the salts named is purely chemical,
and as they are introduced in watery
solution, it is evident that subsequent
exposure to moisture tends toredissolve
them and leave the wood unprotected.
Creosoting, while producing the same
result chemically, also secures dryness,
which alone is sufficient to prevent
decay, provided that it can be main
tained. In creosoting. It is essential
that the wood should be thoroughly
dried, in order to secure complete im
pregnation, and hence timber is usually
seasoned for months before treatment.
This is a serious objection, which in
ventors have attempted to remedy by
adding a preliminary desiccating opera
tion. At extensive works at South
Boston. Mass., under the charge of Mr.
Edward R. Andrews, a process known
as the Uayford is it. use, which consists
in drying the timber in vacuo, aud then
impregnating it with creosote under
pressure. Green timber is fed by a rail
track into an air-tight cylinder of boiler
iron, 100 feet long aud 6 feet in diameter.
This cylinder has been tested by hydro
static pressure of 300 lbs. to the square
inch, and is capable of being her
metically closed. When the charge is
in, steam is introduced, raising the
temperature gradually, so as not to
harden the outside of the wood and pre
vent the escape from the interior. At
mospheric air is also forced iu at a
pressure of from JO to 40 lbs., to restrain
the tendency of the wood to crack. A tem
perature of 250 to 270 deg. lsfound suffi
cient to evaporate the sap, and the whole
steaming process occupies from 4 hours
for boards to 10 or 12 hours for heavy
timber. When it is certain tbat the
sap and vapor have been turned into
steam, the direct steam is shut off, and j
air pumps set to work to free the cy
linder from the steam, vaporised sap.
and condensation. Th'.s stage is reached
in about an hour. The cylinder being
made tight again, and still heated by
the coll, a vacuum pump is put in
action. Then the creosote oil, pre
viously heated to near the boiling point
to render it limpid and penetrating, is
introduced under a pressure of 60 lbs.,
which, added to the drawing power of
of the vacuum, makes a total pressure
of over 70 lbs., to the square inch. The
hot oil soon impregnates the wood. If
the timber is of very close fiber, the
pressure is raised to a higher point.
The process completed, the charge is
withdrawn and another takes its place.
At a late meting o( the Anthropological
Institute, London, Prof. A. Graham
Bell, the inventor of the telephone, read
a paper on the natural language of the
deaf aud dumb, containing some facts
that may not be generally known.
Dumbness is always the consequence of
deafnes, the organs of speech being per
fect, while the mechanisn of hearing is
radically defective. But persons born
deaf may, by proper instruction, be
taught to speak. Prof. Bell supjorts
the long standing opinion tbat a lan
guage of some sort Is essential to
reason. Deaf-mute children, when
they think at all, do so by pictures.
Their reasoning, therefore, is of an ex
tremely concrete nature; and Prof.
Bell never found an instance of a deaf
mute who bad formed a conception of
the Deity. But from the early picture
speech of the deaf-mute a conventional
language is developed of limited range;
but under systematic instruction it is
capable of expressing abstract ideas.
Singularly enough, the language thus
generated has idioms and peculiarities
of collocation all its own. The object
precedes the verb instead of following
it. The cause of this inversion of the
usual order of the principal portions of
a sentence is not yet understood.
Soap liulble Krptriments. M. Remsen
of the Berlin Chemical Society, im
proves on the ordinary method of
igniting soap bubbles tilled with hydro
gen, or oxygen and hydrogen as tiiey
rise in the air, thus: At a height ot o
or 6 feet in the air, is suspended from
the roof a large g'ass funnel in inverted
position. A gas burner is fixed in the
middle of the lower part of the funnel,
so that the flame when formed is in a
horizontal plane. It is now only neces
sary to liberate the soap bubbles some
where shout vertically under the
funnel. They come with certainty into
contact with the flame. If they contain
hydrogen the whole funnel is often
filled with the flame, and presents
curious sight.
Modern Lumber Mill..
The great modern lumber mills of the
Northern States are, it is safe to say, the
most complete in the world. Xo ma
chinery, w ithin the last twenty years,
has more rapidly advanced towards per
fection. Twenty years ago the"muley
saw," so called, had superseded the old
style of "sash-saw," and was looked to
as the ne pint ultra in rapid execution.
The old "sash-saw" was so thin that it
had to be kept strained within a frame
or "sash," to prevent its "'buckling" or
bending when crowded intothe cut, and
even then It could only be driven at a
very moderate rate. The "muley,"
which superseded it was a thick, heavy
saw, needing no sash, and could tie driv
en through the log at a tremendous rate,
though with corresponding thickness of
"kerf" or waste of timber. Then came
the circular saw, cutting about an equal
kerf but doing vastly more rapid work.
And about tiie sutue time came the
"gang-saw," a congregation of saws
hung togt ther in a frame or sash, and
set at fixed distances apart correspond
ing with the thickness of the lumber de
sired to be cut. These gangs run at
slow speed, but as there are enough of
them to convert whole logs into linnber
as they pass through, thus obviating
the necessity 6f "gigging back" the log
for a new cut, they really do treraen
dous execution, and now" comprise the
most approved sawing machinery of the
great modern mills. The logs pass in
endless procession from out of the water
at the log slide, through the gangs, and
thence forward, as lumber, out of the
mill to the dock, for shipment. Some
later improvements, however, in some
cases, intervene between leaving the
mill and arriving at the dock. The lum
ber is laden upon a car which runs into
a drying-house, supplied with the waste
steam from the engine, where most of
its moisture is taken from it, and it
reaches the vessel or railroad in nearly
a dry condition. There is an especial
advantage in this, where the lumber is
forwarded to the market by rail, as
much more dry than green lumber can
be carried on a car at no additional ex
pense. The dried lumber also brings a
better price in market.
Most of the larger mills run during
the twenty-fouf hours of the day two
gangs of men relieving each other at
stated intervals. Twenty years ago, it
was called a "smart" mill which would
produce 30.000 to 60,000 feet of lumber
per day of twenty-f our hours ; now there
are many mills which cut 150,000 and
173,000 feet per day. We may help our
unskilled readers in comprehending this
amount, when we say that from 200,000
to 250,000 feet is tho cargo of an average
lumber-vessel on the lakes, and that thug
one of these modern mills will nearly
load a vessel per day.

Powder for Chafe-d Sz. This pre
paration is universally applied for dry
ing the skin, after washing, especially
at the joints, which, if left even damp
at certain seasons, produces chops and
chafing, often followed, if neglected, by
inflammation. Violet powders are best
prepared by mixing three parts of the
best wheat starch with one of finely
ground orris root; the latter adds to
the drying power of the starch, and im
parts at the same time an agreeable,
odor, like tbat of the violet ; hence the
name of the mixture. It is also pre
pared by perfuming starch with essen
tial oils without the addition of orris
root; but though the scent of. the
powder is stronger, and some more
tempting to use, it is far less beneficial
in its application. The scent, acting as
stimulant to the skin, increases rather
than abates any tendency to redness.
Un perfumed powder U therefore best
to use, dusted over the part with a little
swan s down, commonly called a pun.
Plain Soup. Save your beefsteak and
roast beef bones; cover with hot water,
and let them boil slowly all day ; if the
water boils away, add more boiling
water; you can have a pint or quart of
soup Iroui this, according to tne amount
of bones; any tough pieces of the beet
can be boiled with the bones; at night
strain aud set in a cool place, an hour
before dinner, the next day remove the
fat from the surface; add a small onion,
sliced fine, a pinch of thyme, salt and
pepper, and let boil half an hour; then
add two sticks of macaroni and boil till
done. Leave out the macaroni, add
vermicilli, which requires only ten min
utes for cooking, and you have another
soup; put in stewed tomatoes a few
spoonfuls with half a teaspoonful of
sugar, and you have another soup.
Sometimes tiie soup will be a jelly,

Simple Remedy fob Burns. Common
whiting, mixed with water to the con
sistency of a thick cream, spread on
linen, forms an excellent local applica
tion to burns aud scalds. The whole
burnt surface should be covered, thus
excluding the action of the air. The
ease it affords is instautaneous, and it
only requires to be kept moist by occa
sional sprinkling of cold water.
Cooki.no Rick. Boil fifteen minutes
in salt water, then turn off the water,
and pour in a little milk; let it simmer
gently till the rice is soft. Then let it
stand where it will not burn for ten
minutes, in order to evaporate the milk,
so that the particles of rice may be dry
and separate from each other. May be
eaten with fruit sauce or a little sugar
or sirup, or as it is.
To Clka Ornaments. Dissolve a
little sal ammoniac iu spirits of wine

To Wash Towels with Colored Bor
ders. To set the colors let the towels
soak in a pailful of cold water contain

Tne Fortune-Teller's Almanac.
To dream of a mill-etone about your
neck is a sign of what you may expect
if you marry an extravagant w ife.
It is very luekyto dream that you
pay for a thing twice over; since, after
wards, yon will probably take care to
have all your bills receipted.
For a person in embarrassed circum
stances to dream that he is arrested is
very fortunate; for it is a warning to
him on no account to accept a bill.
To dream of a fire is a sign that if
you are wise you will see that All the
lights in your house are out before you
go to bed.
To dream that your nose is red at the
lip U an intimation that you had better
leave off brandy and water.
To dream of having a great number of
servants is madness.
To dream of a bear, fortokens mis
chief, w hich your vision shows you is a
Bruin.
When a fashionable young lady
dreams of a filbert it is a sign that her
thoughts are running niton the colonel.
If you dream of clothes, It is a warn
ing not to go to law ; for, by the rule
of contraries, you w ill be sure of a non
suit. When a young lady dreams of a coffin,
it betokens that she should Instantly
discontinue tight stays, and always go
warmly and thickly shod In wet
weather. ' -

HUMOROUS.
A Desirable McLODT.-Four or five
gentlemen were seated in the rotunda
of the Burnet House the other evening,
chatting about wealth and politics,
when one of tbera spoke np and said :
"By the way, I ran against Col.
Fleming in Chicago last week, and
nothing would do but I must go home
with nun.
"Did you. though?" said another,
"They say he tumbled into a clover
patch when he dropped into Chicago."
"Yes, so he did ; made money right
from the word go, and never missed it
once in his speculations."
"How's he fixed?"
"Elegant. He lives like a prince in
a magnificent residence out on Wabash
avenue. Got it ror a song, too, 1 near a
Nothing like being lucky."
At this juncture Sotliern who was
just going by paused and demanded,
with his "Crushed Tragedian" air
"What was the nam? or that song!
and where can the music be had?"
The applause was as usual.
"Don't tell me nothing or the kind,1
said she, vigorously, to her husband,
who was reading the account of a re
cent cremation service to her; "it is
only a vile device tor getting an un
fortunate wife away secretly to a lonely
spot and killing her, and burning up
the remains, so that her husband can
frisk off and marry some one else, and
no one ever know nothing about the
murder. I know all about it; besides,
'tisn't possible to get a furnace as hot
as they say it was." " But, my love,"
said her husband, "here it is In the
papers, that the furnace was heated to
a heat of 1,400 degrees." "Fourteen
hundred idiots," said she, contemptu
ously ; "and any child with a nose 1
mean with an eye on in its face could
bave told you, by just looking at the
thermometer, that It can t be any hotter
than 212 degrees I"
In nothing does the curious twist or
the Hibernian mind produce such
acutely piquant effects as In the uncon
scious bulls or popular Irish piety. A
priost once chanced to hear, un per
ceived, a tierce verbal onslaught Dy one
market woman on another, in the course
or which every effort or rhetoric was
made to provake retaliation, but with
out effect. "Go on, go on," at last said
the matron attacked; "you know i n
not answer ye, because I've been to
confession this morning, and I'm in a
state of grace. But wait till 1 get out
of It!"
A Complete Failure. A dozen men
were silting iu a saloon recently, when
a female voice was heard faoin an ad
jacent doorstep. Well, good morning,
Mrs. Blank. If I had anything on I'd
go with you." There was a mad rush
for the door, an eager expectant crowd,
with outstretched necks, peering over
each other's shoulders in the direction
from whence the voice proceeded, and
then a return to the vacated cha rs,
while one or the party asked, "What
good does it do a woman to lie in that
way, anyhow?"
A well-known bald-headed banker,
who always prided himself on being a
self made man, during a recent talk
with a friend had occasion to remark
that he was the architect of hts own
destiny that he was a self made man.
w-w-hat did you sayr asked the
friend, who stutters. 1 say with pride
that I am a self made man that I made
myself,' replied the banker. 'Then
while you were m-ui making yourself,'
stammered bis friend, 'why the dickens
d-didn't you p-put some more h-hair on
the t-top or your hedr
DfRi.vo the recent civil war there
were 'o volunteers lying beneath their
blankets, looking up at the stars in a
Virginia sky. Says Jack: "What made
you go into the army, Tom?" "Well,"
replied Tom," "I had no wife and I
loved war. What made you join the
army, Jack?" "Well," he replied, "I
had a wife, and I loved peace, so 1 went
to the war."
Impartial. Xew curate (who wishes
to know all abont his parishioners) :
"Then do 1 understand that your aunt
is on your father's side, or your
mother's?" Country lad: "Zometimes
one an' zometimes the other, 'ceptin'
when fe ther wacks 'em both, sir ! "
'A hkn-pecked husband of Brooklyn
says tiiat his wife is a regular "vertigo."
Alluding, probably, to the violent way
I u which she flies to his head.
Nearly all the post offices in Texas
are in charge of "females." It works
so well that the males now arrive and
depart every hour in the day.
"Is tour lecture on 'skulls' extempor
ized, Mr. Ingersoli?" "Principally,
sir; though I have the skeleton or it in
my pocket."
'What kind of a pony have yen got
there?" asked a straiiger of some ice
gatherers who were loading up a sled.
"That's an Ice land pony," was the
reply. '
An Irishman complained to his physi
cian that he stuffed him so much with
drugs that he was sick a long time after
he got well.
Vert few brass bands in a military
parade can play as many airs as the
drum major puts on.
8peak iently.
A loud boisterous tone shows a want
of good breeding. The first principle
of politeness is to make thosealiout you
feel pleasant, and a rude, coarse man
ner of speaking is annoying to most
persons. A good anecdote is related of
a man, who went by the name of
"Whispering John," which was given
him in ridicule. People said he talked
as though he were brought up iu a
mill. One cold morning he walk ml into
a public house, aud called out in his
thundering voice :
"Good morning, landlord, how are
you "
"Very well, how are you?" '
"Oil, I'm well, but I'm so cold, I can
hardly talk."
Just then a nervous traveler who was
present ran up to the landlord,exclaim-
ing:
"Please have my horse brought as
soon as Kssible.''
"Why, w hat is the matter?" asked
the landlord.
"Nothing," replied the traveler,
"only I want to get away before that
man thatcs."
