Farm, Garden and Household. Household Motes. Whitewash.?The Lighthouse Board sends out the following recipe: Slake half a bushel of unslaked lime with boiling water, keeping it covered during the process. Strain it, and add a peck of salt, dissolved in warm water 5 three pounds of ground rice put in boiling water, and boiled to a thin paste; half a pound of powdered Spanish whiting, and a pound of clear glue, dissolved in warm water; mix these well together, and let the mixture stand for several days. Keep the wash thus prepared in a kettle or portable furnace, and when used put it on as hot as possible, with painters' or whitewash brushes. To Preserve Egos Perfectly Fresh for six or eight months, beat Up the white of an egg, with a little salt (say a scruple) and three Spoonfuls of cold water. As soon after the eggs are laid, and -while still warm (if possible) paint them over with the above with a large camel's hair brush, taking care that the wh.ole surface is painted, then place upon blotting-paper till dry and h: j-d. Pack away amongst corn-chaff or bran.' Before using the albumen, filter it through muslin till clear and free from bubbles. If after being albumenized, the eggs are placed on a plate or table, it is almost sure to take a chip out of the shell. To Clbanse Carpets.?One teaspoonful liquid ammonia in one gallon warm water, will often restore the color to carpets, even if produced by an acid or alkali. If a ceiling has been whitewashed with carpet down, and a few drops arc visible, this will remove it. Another Way.?After the carpet is well beaten and brushed, scour it with ox gall, which will not only extract grease but freshen the colors?one pint of gall in three gallons warm water, will do a large carpet. Table or floorcloths may be thus washed. The suds left from a wash, where ammonia is used, even if almost cold, cleanses these floor-cloths well. Potatoes and Corn. E. T. Nichols, Trumbull, Conn., asked in the Farmers' Club how it would do to plant every other two rows with potatoes in planting corn. R. J. Dodge?Unless a very early species of potatoes the corn would shade them too much. Dr. Trimble?I do not believe in this mode of getting two crops off a soil at once. People ought to be satisfied with one. F. D. Curtis?I could not advise this man to plant potatoes, but be might very profitably try pumpkins. Last year I raised a largo crop of oorn in one of my fields, and then a person might have walked all over the neld on great yellow large pumpkins. He might also drop a seed of ruta baga turnip in each hill of corn. These will grow after the corn has come to maturity. In this way he may economize his land. Dr. Trimble?That may do among fanners who can raise only forty or fifty bushels to the acre, but my Salem county friends never think of less than 100 to 110 bushels, and hence they would not be bothered with the turnips and pumpkins ; they put such things in a Renarate field. Send for Mother. " Dear me ! it wasn't enough for me to nurse and raise a family of my own, but now, when I'm old and expect to have a little comfort here, it is all the time, 1 Send for mother ?' "?and the dear old soul growls and grumbles, but dresses herself as fast as she can notwithstanding. After you have trotted her off and got her safely in your home, and she flies around administering rebukes and remedies by turns, you feel easier. It's right now or soon will be ?mother's come. In sickness, no matter who is there or how many doctors quarrel over vour case, everthing goes wrong, somehow, till you send for mother. In trouble, the first thing you think of is to send for mother. But this has its ludicrons as well as its touching aspects. The verdant young couples to whom baby's extraordinary grimaces and alarming yawns, which threaten the dislocation of its chin ; its wonderful sleep which it accomplishes with its eyes half open and no perceptible flutter of breath on its lips, causing the young mother to imagine it is dead this time, and to shriek out, " send for mother !" in tones of anguish?this young couple, in tho ; light of the experience which three or four babies bring, find that they have been ridiculous, find given mother a good many " trots " for nothing. Did any one ever send for mother and did sho fail to come, unless sickness or the infirmities of age prevented her? As when in your childhood, tnose willing feet responded to your call, 60 they still do and will continue to do as long as they are able. And when the summons come which none yet disregarded, though it will be a very dark and sad one for you, then God too, will send for mother. The Jockey. The important part played by jockeys iu racing has given rise to a special code of regulations. Jockeys are expressly forbidden to foul their opponents?that is, place themselves immediately in front of them?unless there is at least a length between them, in order not to impede them at all. They are likewise forbidden to take any unfair advantage. The penalty in sucn a case consists in fine or suspension?that is, prohibition from riding for a longer or shorter term. This latter punishment is the most effective, since it touches the jockey himself, preventing him from gaining his livelihood all the while tho prohibition is in force. The fine is nearly always a sham, since it is generally paid by the owner of the horse. In certain cases oi exceptional gravity, 8UCh ftS fraud, pulling a horse intentionally, &c., the suspension may bo unlimited, in which case his career ic over. It is principally at tho start that these penalties have most frequently to be indicted, sinpe all the jockeys have some difficulty in resisting the temptation of getting an advantageous start. Are Advertisements Ever Read! In the course of a spicy artiole, answering this question, a Mobile paper says : " If any man affects to believe that advertisements are not read, let him advertise that he wants to buy a dog, for instance. If he is not furnished with every variety of animated sausage that morning before breakfast ?and, besides, with one or two sound grounds for suits against him for assault, wo will break our golden rule and?deadhead his advertisement. And it is fair to infer that any man who wants to sell a dog, also wishes to buy something with the proceeds of his canine venture. And so up to the man who wishes to sell his cargo of coffee, that he may buy a cargo of Western produce." Hie Presidential Household. From the official rooms, which are often seen b j gentlemen who have bdsi-1 ness with the President^ we pass into what are knowh as the private apartments. First, we entered the library, which is fitted np with mahogany bookcfises, tolerably well filled, and oak furniture. This Was the reception room of Mrs. John Adams, for in her day none of the down stairs parlors were either finished or furnished, and she used to have her Monday's washing hung out to dry ou lines stretched in | the east room. Next to the library is | the President's room, plainly furnished, and opening into Mrs. Grant's sittingI room, on the other side of which is Miss Nellie's room. The sitting-room has blue curtains and the furniture is covered with blue, while pictures and books give it a homelike appearance. Opposite Miss Nellie's room is that of Master Jesse, the especial favorite of his parents, who has just gone to California with his play-fellow and school-mate, a son of ex-Senator Cole. The state bedroom is the most elegantly furnished room on the second story, and beyond it is the chamber of Mrs. Grant's fa- j ther, Mr. Dent, now in his 88th year.

M substantial breakfast iB served at 8, the President bringing liis f&vorite newspapers to the table and reading them as he enjoys his coffee and toast. After breakfast the President takes a short walk, returning to his office at 10, and remaining there until 4, when he takes another walk, or perhaps a short drive. Meanwhile, Mrs. Grant and Miss Nellie have attended to their household duties, received the calls of friends, and perhaps made a few. At 6?sharp)?dinner is served, a plain repast, of which a dish of hominy iB always a part. After dinner there is an informal reception in the blue parlor, witfi an occasional conference on political subjects in the President's office up stairs. Such is the daily life of our Chief Magistrate and his , family, says a newspaper letter from ! "Washington. A Mother's Home. The moBt perfect home I ever saw, says a writer, was in a little house into the sweet incense of whose fires went no cestly things. A thousand dollars served for a year's living of father, mother and three children. But the mother was a creator of home; her relations with her children were the most beautiful I have ever seen; even a dull and commonplace man was lifted up and enabled to do work for souls, by the wln'nli fVna trnmon prp n.f.A/1 every inmate of her house involuntarily looked into her face for the key-note of the day; and it was always rang clear. From the roso bud or clover leaf which, in spite of her hard housework, she always found time to put by our plates at breakfast, down to the essay or story she has on hand to be read or discussed in the evening, there was no intermission of her influence. She has always been and always will be my ideal of a mother, wife, home-maker. If to her quick brain, loving heart, and exquisite tact had been added the appliance of wealth and the enlargements of wider culture, hers would have been absolutely the ideal home. As it was, it is the best I have seen. It is more than twenty years since I crossed its threshold. I do not know whether she is living or not. But, as I se? house after houpe in which fathers and mothers and children are dragging out their lives in a haphazard alternation of listless routine and unpleasant collision, I always think with a sigh of that poor little cottage by the sea shore, and of the woman who was tho "light thereof;" and I find in the faces of many men and children, as in the newspaper columns of " Personals," " Wanted?a home." Laura Fair as a Lecturer. A correspondent, speaking of Mrs. Laura Fair, says she recently attempted to lecture in Sacramento, on "The Wolves in the Fold," and, being unable to hire a hall, took the best she could get, which was a beer-cellar. An audienco of not more thau a half-dozen greeted her, and thesewere the habitues of beer-cellars. Not caring to speak to so slim au audience, she directed tlia doors to be thrown open, when the room was soon tilled by an unseemly rabble, and the utmost efforts of the police wero required to keep order. Mrs. Fair's little daughter is growing to be a sweet and beautiful girl. She is now about twelve years old. Wherever seen, her lovely countenance excites admiration and pity. She is quite retiring ; the bitter experience through which she has passed has made her already a woman in thought and feeling, j Many a kind family would bo glad to | take the tender and crushed little flower to its own bosom, and many a regret is I expressed that the girl must grow up I under tho influence of her mother and : grandmother. She is rarely seen, exi cept in the company ef one or tho other. She looks so pure and sweet that one : would thiulc evil influences could hardly touch her. Adulteration of Green Tea. Dr. Letheby, of Loudon, the wellknown sanitary statist, has just reported I as to the adulteration of green tea in that city. He discovered, it appears, that some tea on sale iu Mincing lane required looking after, and he succeeded in getting authentic samples from the bonded warehouses in which the article was stored. On examination it was found that thin so-called tea contained ' from fortv to fortv-tliree per cent, of iron fillings and nineteen per cent, of silica, in the form of fine sand, which had been cleverly mixed with and added to the leaves before curling, with a view to increase their weight and bulk. After the leaves were curled they had been thickly covered with green pigment. When it was infused in boiling water it produced a veiy turbid solution, offensive to the smell and nauseous to the taste. Frcwr Fishing.?An exchange tells how two New Yorkers caught fisli at Hamburg recently. They bought flvo geese, tied to their feet lines with baited hooks and started them across the ' pond. The pickerel took the bait, and ; as soon as caught of course began to I flounder, which frightened the geese so ' that they made for the shore, where they were relieved of their burden and sent back with hooks rebaited for another haul. In this novel way a large number of pickerel were caught. i The heaviest brain on record was recently found in the skull of a London i brick-layer who could neither read noi write. It weighed 67 ounces. A Lost Patient; A foreign scientific periodical relates this suggestive story; Some time since J a lady called upon a celebrated occulist, in order to consult him on account of , her eyes, complaining that their power of Vision had of late considerably diminished. At a glance the doctor saw , that she was a lady of rank and wealth. , He looked at her eyes, shook his head, , and thought the treatment would require much time, as there were reasons 1 to fear amaurosis in her case. He must i advise her, first of all that, as she had 1 informed him she was residing a con- 1 siderable distance in the country, she < must move into the city at once, and < thus enable him to see her frequently, 1 if possible daily. j The lady then rented an elegant man- < sion; moved into the city, and the t physician was punctual in his attend- < unce. He prescribed this and that, and t thus days run into weeks and weeks into j months. The cure, however, was still ? coming. The physician tried to console c her. i One day the patient hit upon a curi- i our scheme, and she waited not long to t carry it into effect. ? She procured for herself a very old I and poor attire, put a hood of tremend- e ous size hood upon her head, took an t old umbrella and a market basket in ] her hand, and in these habiliments she i visited her physician, selecting for the e purpose a very rainy day. She had so t well succeeded in distorting and dis- t guising herself that the eye of a lover t could scarcely have recognized her. \ She was obliged to wait a long time in t the ante-room of the physician, with j many others, who, like her, were seek- g ing relief. At last her turn came. f " Well, my good woman, what have you to complain of?" \ "Very bad eyes, doctor," she answer- t ed. 1 He took her to the light, looked i into her eyes, but failed to recognize i his patient. Shrugging his shoulders, [ he Baid: 1 " Your eyes are well enough." a " Well ? she said. e "Yes ; I know what I am saying." t "But I have been told that I was t getting the a?a?a forget how it is t called." t " Amaurosis ?" ? "Yes, that is it, doctor." i '1 Don't you let them make you believe \ 'any such nonsense. Your eyes are a' i little weak, but that is all. Your pliy- t sician is an ass !" t "An ?" . i " Yes, an ass ! Tell him boldly that f I said so." t The lady now arose, and in her cus- < tomary voice, said: " Sir, you are my f physician ; don't you know me ?" 1 The face the sage counselor made is ( easier to imagine than to describe. t " Gracious, madame," he commenced j to stammer an apology, but the lady ] would not listen to him, and left him i indignantly. She never saw the gentle- | man any more. i IT hat to Do in Emergency. Here is a useful hint on the best < method of action when the clothing of any friend is on fire?an accident which 1 all are liable to. Seize a shawl, or , blanket, or any wooleu fabric, hold the corners as far apart as you car., stretch ! them out higher than your head, and running boldly to the person, make a motion of clasping in his arms, mostly about tho shoulders. This instantly smothers the firo and saves the face. The next instant throw the person on the floor. This is an additional safety to the face ana Dream, anu any remunui of flame cnu bo put out more quickly. The uext instant immerse the burnt part in cold 'water, and all pain will cease with the rapidity of lightning. Next get | some common flour, remove from the | water, aud cover the burnt parts with an inch of flour, if possible put the ! patient to bed, and do all that is possi| ble to soothe until the physician ari rives. Let flour remain until it falls off 1 itself, when beautiful new skin can bo found. Unless the burns are deep, no | j other application is needed. The dry flour for burns is the most admirable remedy ever proposed, and the informa, tion ought to be imparted to all. The principle of this action is, that like the water, it causes instant and perfect relief from pain by totally excluding all ' the air from the injured parts. Acknowledged It, Many years ago, when the teetotal advocates were raging through England, and terrifying the people about the effects of alcohol, they stirred the excitement to a high pitch by saying that in even the bread there was alcoi hoi, which alcohol came from the yeast I used by the bakers. Of course, the bakers protested fiercely that there was no alcohol in their bread, and denied the stories of the teetotallers ; but, at the same time, some of them found it safest to give up the use of yeast and raise their bread by other means. Finally, when things were at their worst, one bold baker raised over his 'shop a big sign-board, "Bread with ' the ulcohol iu it," and scattered handbills all around, announcing that ho was the man who sold this bread. The tide was at once turned by the audacious i act of this jolly baker ; pcoplo rushed , to his place from far and near to get bread with the alcohol in it, and ho 1 found himself the most popular baker in all London. This baker took the bull 1 by the horns, and when men and women were terrified by the word "alcohol," j he raised it as a cry of triumph, and found profit in his audacity. A Huge Bill.?In account lately i settled in the Probate Court at St. John, N. B., the following were the items for funeral charges: For a grave $3,000 " permit to bury 400 " boards 300 " 12 lbs. cement 1,800 " 120 bricks 1,860 i " funeral service in Masonic lodge.... 3,000 1 41 sundry small expenses 140 $10,200 As the amount of the bill was paid in Hayti, in the currency of that nation, | it was reduced to Federal currency, and i amounted to $63. Ancient Liquor Law.?In an old volume printed in 1638, is to be found the following: "In 1637 there were not many houses in the town of Boston, among ' which were two houses of entertainment, 1 called ordinariers, into which, if a stranger went, he was presently followed by ono appointed to that office, who would thrust himself into his company uninvited, and if he called for more drink than the officer thought in his judgment he could possibly bear i away, he would presently countermand r it and appoint the proportion, beyond which he could not get one drop." Humors of Legislation. Last Seen* of all In the New York State Legislature. A reporter describing the scene in the State capitol on the last night of the session says: The members began almost immediately after the meeting to torn the Assembly Chamber into a Dedlam. They began by slyly blowing die tin horns which they had surreptitiously brought into the chamber, and from that they began to throw paper sails at each other from one side of the souse to the other. The Speaker laborid in vain to restore order, and threatened to call out the name of any memier who was detected in violating the mles of order. This acted as a check inly for a few minutes or so, and then ;he untamed reformers got worse than ever. The tin whiBtles were blowing in ill parts of the house, large wads of laper saturated with water were thrown it members' heads, and occasionally >ne of the heavy document-files, weighng twenty pounds, would be seen nyng across the chamber, bringing up igoinst the shoulders of some unsusleoting person, fairly knocking him off lis pins. A silk hat plaoed in a conipicuous place on a desk would not last ? . . ., ? 1 wo minutes. At last tne apeaaer rap)?d more furiously than over, and diected the Sergeant-at-Arms to " arrest my person found blowing a tin horn." This only made the members laugh, md although thev eyed the officers of he House a little more closely they rero soon joining in at a worse, rate han ever. Finally the Speaker, in rnp>ing en the desk so hard, broke his favel, the head of it flying off upon the loor. During all thiB time the Olerk ras reading out the bills and passing hem all by himself, notja single mem)er voting on them, the Clerk simply narking every member as voting in the iffirmative. And here justice should >e done the Speaker for the watch he tept solely and alone over the bills that vere being rushed through, for wliensver a bill of doubtful character was aken up he would command the House o be silent at least long enough for hem to hear the Clerk read the title of he bill. If the Speaker got really ingry, as he often did, he would rise, ind a few raps more violent than usual vould bring the House to order, cautionng them that no business wonld be ransacted until perfect order was reitored. All would then be silent for a noment, but as soon as the Clerk had ipoken the first word again a sound liko lie dying groan of a game-cocK wouiu some from the rear ot the chamber, kimetimes the stillness would be broken by a high, sharp note, immediately followed by another just two oc;aves lower. At such times the Speaker limself, although boiling over with -age, was often obliged to laugh and jit down from sheer exhaustion. While ;hese scenes were enacting in the Aslembly Chamber the Senators up stairs were beginning to feel boyish also. In the midst of the evening session Mr. Woodin vacated his chair as presiding officer, and a well-known lobbyist, who was standing near, volunteered to protide, and actually took the chair of the President of the Senate, and was allowed to remain in it about two minutes, when one of the Senators came to "his Benses and demanded that the lobbyist be compelled to vacate. The scene from this time on grew from bad to worte, and ill on, at half. pass three a. h., the Assembly took a recess for the purpose of holding tho customary mock session. There was little hilarity left, it having been all expended in the regular session. The Speaker vacated his seat and Mr. Pierson was carried up from tho floor to supersede him. The scene that followed this was simply brutal. There was not the least display of any wit, but the mock session was much more orderly than the regular evening session. The heavy document files were thrown about with more force, and that was all. Many an individual will carry homo a scar on his head as the result of being in this me lee. The Average Pickpocket It is generally presumed by a majori ty of our citizens, that pickpockets pos boss some indiscribable peculiarity, it their personal appearance, by whicl they can readily be distinguished fron honest folks. Many people entertaii the idea that this kind of thieves mus necessarily have a low forehead, a vil lnnous countenance, and wear a larg< cloak to conceal false-hands, and a ki of pickpockets' instruments. This mis taken supposition accounts, in a larg< measure, for the ease with which s< many robberies are committed. Ii many cases the caution of the victim assists the operatio* of the thieve? While the over-cautious are engaged ii casting suspicious glances around, wit] the intention of avoiding some one wh corresponds with their mental pictnr of a rascal, some genteelly appearin, personage, whom they do not for a mo ment suspect, relieves them of thei valuables. The appearance of a tastt fully attired lady, with tho mode? countenance and delicately forme hands, who apologizes so gracefully fc her rudeness and haste in leaving a cai does not suggest the fact that she ha just picked a pocket. The plair honest-looking old gentleman, who weai an expression as benignant as Beecher' and assists an old lady across the stret with a solicitude that excites admiri tion, does not conform with the genen impression of English Bill, tho notor ous English pickpocket. There ai some suspicious looking faces amon these peeple, just as there are amon lawyers, doctors, merchnnts, or an other class of the community, but the will compare favorably in personal aj nrifh nnv l>o<lv of honest cit 1" ?J J ? ? zcns, phrenologists to the contrary no withstanding. The Coal Fields. Au interesting paper by M. Straus the Belgian Consul in Japan, gives glowing account of the mineral wealt of that country and of China. Itappea: certain, though nativo estimates mm be relied upon in the matter, that a co; basin of more or loss depth reach* from the north to the south of jChim and comprises the eighteen provinces* the empire. This, with the coal-bed i the Island of Formosa, would give 127 000 square miles as the extent of tl Chinese ooal-field. The following con parativo statement will * give an idea * the wealth of coal represented by tho* figures :?In tho United States the coi area comprises 113,000 square milcc in England, 12,000 ; France, 2,00C Belgium, 1,200; Germany, 9,000; Span 8,000 ; Japan, 6,000; in the British Poi sessions in North America the coal arc comprises 18,000 square miles. There evidently need be little fear < a scarcity of coal for some years. The Formation of Eggs. I will now state, says Prof. Agassiz, ^ as far as it is known, what an egg is ri and how it is formed. As the egg growB wg steadily nntil it has completed its trans- ot formation, it is difficult to give a de- of i soription of it which will answer for all *n< these stages, since at every successive "i stage, while growing, the egg differs lut from what it was before and from what be< it is to be. All eggs, however, arise in * what are called ovaries. These are eos clusters of cells, forming bunches of a somewhat glandular character in appear- tnt ance. Between these cells the eggs are tit< formed and in such a way as at first to di* be hardly distinguished from the cells iim themselves. The same is true of sperm p0, cells, which arise in organs of the same tbe character as the ovary, and are formed in a manner perfectly similar to that of the egg. So we have these two spheres of growth which characterize sex in the tr* animal kingdom, arising in conditions cot so very similar that the essence of the two is hardlv to be determined by ob- t serration. It is only by the process of growth, by the influences produced by ui t,hfl oTio noon the other, ana by the con- im sequences of these influences, that we ? recognize the essential difference which distinguishes them. In order fully to appreciate what ^ eggs are, we must remember?what has been known about a half century only? that all organized bodies are composed ed of little bags which are called cells, mi and which are formed and multiplied Uo in various ways. Most of these cells 8b< are so small that they can only be perceived by the aid of high magnifying powers. There are, it is true, a few cell wi structures large enough to be seen with the naked eye, as for instance the cells Ry of common elder pith, or the coarse cells of the orange. It is one of the great Co problems of modern research to ascer- u? tain how these cells are formed and g1 what is their mode of reproduction. p0 For it does not seem that cells are form- ? ed in the same way. under all circum- D? stances. Some naturalists assume that in the animal substance secreted by a living body, such as milk which is secreted by the mammary glands or simi- Cb lar substances secreted by other organs, certain particles become centers of ac- Eg tion, around which other particles crowd; and when a little collection of this kind, b? microscopically small, lias been formed, ?j an envelope arises around it, and we fi have the utricle or cell. Others believe ^ that minute, imperceptible particles of 0a animal substance swell and enlarge, and R: become hollow, so that a little bag is ^ formed, a cell envelope in short, which Alls as it enlarges into a fluid substance. w ?: rj Cc If Johnson's Anodyne Liniment is a half as valuable as people say it is, no family Oi should be without it.
