Eight or nine cars were thrown ofl the track, and five of them srauSiied into kindling wood, and merchandise of various kinds was scattered around in all directions. Work was at once begun to clear the track, and it was so speedily done that the south bound veBtlbule came through on time.

A small piece of 1 unslauked lime in perfectly clean bottle, with cold water poured over it? 1 fchp hnlt.lf* nnrkprl nnd kent in a pool. 1 dark place?is a full recipe for lime 1 water. It is ready for use in a few 1 moments after the water is poured on. i This lime water has a number of uses, as well as the lime itself. A spoonful of it in a cupful of milk is a remedy for 1 the summer complaint common to children. It is admirable for clean- 1 sing nursing bottles. It corrects acidity of the stomach. It will prevent the "turning" of milk or cream, and a cup- 1 ful added to bread sponge will keep ' it from souring. Allowed to evaporate from a vessel over the stove, its steam proves wouderful alleviation for the distresses due to lung fever, croup or diphtheritic ailment. It will sweeten and purify bottles and jugs, etc., and, lastly ; a few spoonfuls of it poured on potted plants will rid them very effectually of pot worms. Lime itself, as every one knows, is invaluable as a purifier and disinfectant. Sprinkled in cellars and closets, where thern is slight dampness, it will not ouly serve as a purifier, but it is a valuable preventive against the invasion of noxious animals. In greater cases, such as the disinfection of ves sels and hospitals, it is recognized as a chief agent. It is one of the notable instances of the economy aud of the bounty of nature that this article so cheap and common, is serviceable in so many Instances. Antony the Poultry. The best age to begin to feed fowls for fattening is as soon as .they are fully matured. Preventing disease among the poultry is safer than curing. Good food, pure water, clean quarters prevent disease. A good egg will sink in water. Stale eggs are glossy and smooth of shell. Boiling tbe milk that [is fed to fowls will increase its value and lesson the risk of its causing disease. If properly managed a hen will lay her weight in egg** in a year, but to do this she requires proper material in feeding. Hempseed and suntlower seeds fed to fowls help to make the plumage smooth and glossy. Nothing is more fatal to profitable poultry keeping than evercrowdiug especially iu winter, when the fowls must be more or less confined. Fowls that have a good variety of food do not require artificial stimulants to induce them to lay or to keep them n good health. Try Hill's headache powders. Prepared by AP. B. Speed.

The following is excellent for removing spots from the boye' jackets, cleaning dirty coat-collars and dresses, and for washing any kind of woolen goods, camel's hair and alpaca for taking grease and dirt spots from furniture: Four ounces each of white castile soap and ammonia, and two each of alcohol, glycerine and ether. Cut tbe soap fine and dissolve in one quart of water over a slow fire; add one gallon of water, and when nearly cold tne other ingredients. It will make nearly two gallons, must be kept in a tightly corked demijohn, and will keep good ror any length or time. Fill a small bottle for convenience for daily use. To wash woolen dress goods, put a teacupful in pail of warm water, shake the goods well in this, rubbing It lightly between the hands; rinse well, and iron while damp on the wrong side. For cleansing coat-collars, add a gill to a pint of water; apply with a clean rag, and rub well with a second rag. The health of animals can be determined by the condition of the pulse better than through any other means. In horses, the pulse, at rest, beats forty times per miuute, in an ox form fifty to fifty-five, and in sheep and pigs about seventy to eighty. When there is any material variation from these figures disease of some kind may be suspected. If the pulse is faHt, hard aud full, it is an indication of iuflammatiou, or, at the, least high fever; if rapid, small and weak, of low fever, loss of blood or weakness. Irregular action points to seme form of heart disease, while slow, faint bears a sign of brain trouble. The pulse can be felt wherever an artery crosses a bone. The easiest place to examine it in a horse is on the cord which crosses over the bone of the lower jaw ; or, at the bony ridge just above the eye. Cattle are generally tested on the first rib, and sheep by placing the band on the left side directly over the heart. A Judge** Testimony. The famous Judge, Sir Matthew Hale, said in his day : "The places of adjudicature I have long held in this kingdom have given mean opportunity to observe the origiual cause of most nf thi> cimrmitpe thn>. huvi> hppn nnm mitted for the space of twenty years; and by due observation I have found that if the murders and manslaughters, the burglaries and robberies, the riots and tumults and other enormities that have happened in that lime were divided into five parts, four of them would have been the issue and product of excessive drinking?of tavern and ale-house drinking." When a Christian goes wrong, he makes it that much harder for some sinner to go right. Each of us has his or her place in the world and no one else can fill it.
