FA KM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Household Hint*.
To Clean Alabaster.?Wash with
soapsuds ; if stained whitewash stains ;
let the whitewash remain on several
hoars.
To Remove Dandruff.?Yolk of egg
rubbed in thoroughly, a little at a time,
will remove all dandruff and leave the
hair like silk ; afterward wash the head
in clean water.
Cheap Paint.?Cheap paint for rough
woodwork or fences is made of six pounds
of melted pitch, one pint of linseed oil,
and one pound of brick dust or yellow
ocher. It is excellent, aud will stand for
years.
Ointment for Pimples.?Purified
lard, one ounce ; citrou ointment, one
and a half ounces ; almond oil, one-half
ouuce. Mix all well together, and scent
with oil of bergamot. Apply at night
on going to bed; if applied also during
the day the relief will be more speedy.
To Wash Lace.?Cover a quart bottle
with linen, then wrap your lace
around the bottle, being careful to keep
the pearl edge out smooth. You may
put on several layers of laoe. Then
cover the whole with another piece of
linen sewed on tightly so as to keep.the
lace smooth. Wash the bottle and its
coverings in suds, rubbing with the
palm of the hand, then boil with the
other clothes on washing day ; blue, and
stiffen with thin starch. Tie a string
around the neck of the bottle and hang
it up to dry. When quite dry, rip off
the outside linen and yoqr lace will be
found clean and smooth.
To Whiten a Wall.?If theoeiling is
very smooth, use calcimiLe, made as
follows: Take four pounds of paris
white, put in a pail, cover it with water,
and let it stand over night; put iuto a
tiu kettle a handful of glue, cover with
cold water ; in the morning set the glue
on the stove, and add enough warm
water to make a quart, and stir until
dissolved ; add the glue to the paris
white, stir well, and pour in enough
warm water to make a pail three-quarters
full ; then add blueing, a little lime ;
stir well until it is very slightly blueish.
Use a good brush ; go over one place in
the wall until thoroughly wet; if your
brush dries quickly add more warm
water; the mixture is too thick; the
brush must be kept wet. But if your
ceiling is slightly rough, use the mixture
without the glue, as the glue will not
work on a rough ceiling. If very rough
and looking as if it would peel off, go
over it simply with ten cents' worth of
powdered alum, dissolved in two quarts
of water. This will remove the superfluous
lime and leave your ceiling white.
Always use the calcimine with glue on
the sides of a wall, as it does not rub off.
T? M&BAfe the Potato Beetle
C. W., Plymouth,Ind., writes : "Recently
a member of the Farmer's club
suggested a remedy for potato bugs.
We out West here have been tormented
(this is the seventh year) with these
pests, but are getting used to them. I
find them this year as plenty in my garden
as ever before, but fear no trouble
from them by using the following remedy
: Tlace a teaspoonful or pure paris
green in an ordinary watering pot holding
one bucket of water, then sprinkle
<1 ! 1 . 1 # *1 11. -
tne vines wim it, ana my wora ior 11 me
bugs will be dead within twelve hours,
or as soon as they eat a particle of the
leaves. I have tried paris green mixed
with ashes, lime, flour and plaster, and
thoy all hurt the vines more or less, but
the water seems to do good rather than
hurt. Again, the imptession was with
us here that to handle the old or young
bugs by picking them from the vines
was poisonous or iujurious, but it is not
so. My fowls will eat them as readily as
corn, but I keep them shut up on account
of injuring other garden stuff.''
Upon the same subject J. F. writes:
"Will you publish the following plan
for the destruction of the potato bug for
the benefit of potato growers, viz.:
Keep the rows or hills clear of weeds,
and in the hottest part of the day brush
them off into the spaoe between the
rows. I have never had occasion to go
more than three times through mine for
the last two years. I learned of this
plan at that time from a person who had
been visiting in Grant county, Wis.,
and who had seen it tried on a number
of acres. All the farmers in that locality
have adopted this plan. It is far
ahead of paris green.
, Remarks.?This plan will Ineffective
chiefly for the larvae, which are somewhat
sluggish and cannot stand the
scorching effect of a hot sun upon a
heated soil. They are baked to death
when brushed off, as above stated. But
in cool or damp weather they will regain
the vines and the work has to be done
over again. With paris green the work
once done is done for oil.?New York

A Youthful Judge.
A little lecollection of the Commune
was recently evoked at Paris, when Arnton/1

one, was brought before a police tribunal.
In May, 1871, then a boy of sixteen,
he was made a police magistrate
by the Communists; on the capture of
Paris by the Versailles troops he fled to
England and Germany. In March,
1872, he was sentenced, in his absence,
to five years' imprisonment and five
years- eurveillanoe, but he was not arrested
till June, 1876. He did not deny
I his identity, or the fact that he had
served on the judiciary of the Commune,
but he insisted that, being known
to Raoul Rigault, Dacosta and other
Communist leaders, he did not dare to
refuse to become their instrument. Unhappily
for this righteous judge, this
excellent young man, it was shown that
he had signalized his accession to power
by imprisoning citizens right and left,
and treating those who incurred his
boyish displeasure with great severity;
further, that finding himself indifferently
lodged at his office, he seized and
appropriated to his own uses the chambers
of the Cour de Cessation, and the
result of the trial was his sentence to
two years' imprisonment.

the house full of smoke." " Look if
the milkman has come." " Don't break
all the dishes in the house." " Is that
tire burning yet ?' " Oh, clear out; I'd
rather make the fire three times myself.
A man can never do anything without
getting mad and turning the house upside
down;" need have no fears that
there is anything else in this world that

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Failures for the First Two Quarters of 1876
?{ tome Interesting Figures.
The figures of failures in business, all
over the United States, for the first two
quarters of the year 1876, have been forwarded
to us by the Mercantile Agency
of Messrs. R. (i. Dun & Co. The total
for the past six months, as compared
with the same period of last year, is far
more reassuring, as the following will
.show :
For the first quarter of 1875, number
of failures, 1,982; amount, $43,000,000;
second quarter, number of failures,
1,581; amount, $33,000,000; six months,
number of failures, 3,563; amount,
$76,000,000. For the first quarter of
1876, number of failures, 2,806; amount,
I < AAA A i\A _ ^ A . - _ . _ h J? |
$t>4,UUU,UrAJ ; seoona quarter, numoer ui
failures, 1,794 ; amount, $43,000,000; six
months, number o? failures, 4,600; j
amount, $107,000,000.
This shows a startling increase, both '
in the number of failures and amount j
of liabilities for the six months just j
concluded, but attention is drawn to the
fact that tills increase mainly occurred j
in the first quarter of the year. Al- |
though the figures for the three months
just closed are somewhat larger than ,
those in the corresponding quarter of |
1875. there is a marked decline in !
the figures for the second quarter of j
I the current year. In other words, the |
number of failures in the last three
months are less in number by one,
thousand than in the pr?. ceding three ^
months of this year, while the liabilities
show, a decline of $21,000,000, both
items showing an improvement of over
forty per cent. This variation is great-j
er than ever before in the same period, i
and happily, in this instance, the varia- !
tion is ir. the right direction. It appears,
from the circular before us, that j
the average liabilities of e ch quarter
in the past eighteen months ore $51,000,000;
so that the liabilities of the
quarter just closed ($13,000,000) are
$8,000,000 less than the average.
From these figures, the agency is inclined
to encourage the belief that we j
have seer; the worst effect of the present!
depression, so far as failures are oon-J
oerned. The circular says :
"It is true that business oontinues in i
a very depressed condition; that the results
of tiade, with rare exceptions, have
been exceedingly unsatisfactory; that
values continue to decline, and that uncertainty
and anxiety exist in all quarters.
Yet in the face ot all this, there is
comfort in the reflection that the causes
which produced this condition of things
have been almost completely reversed.
In the place of reckless over-trading, we
have now lessened sales guided by caution,
and also prudence in purchasing.
Instead of enormous over production of
all descriptions of manufactures, there
is now the strongest tendency to limit
the product, and thus lessen the possibility
of a still further deoline in prices.
Vastly increased expenditure on public
works has been succeeded by the almost
complete cessation of construction.
Economy in business and personal expenses
has taken the plaoe, to a very
large extent, of extravagance and reckless
liberality, and this very tendency,
while it is the cause of restricted business,
is one of the best signs of an early
return of prosperity. So that in all de
partments there is evidently a change,
and snch a change as it was ^necessary
for the three years of depression to pro
duoe, and withont which it was hopeless
to expect a revival of business on |a
sound basis. Having reached this condition,
is there not ground for hope that
a bitter state of things may now prevail
? It would be idle to expect that
very maiked improvement will be evident
in the immediate future. Things
have reached too desperate a state to
permit such a hope. The circumstances
of an exciting political campaign are not
favorable to the growth of confidence,
and the return of business to its wonted
channels. But the coming autumn will,
it is believed, afford hopeful indications
for the future. Another year of great
productive power has been given to
farmers and planters, and the country
must be greatly enriched by the realization
of the agricultural wealth with
which it now teems. Internal indebted-i
ness is not excessive; stocks of goods in
all quarters have seldom been so small;
prices have touched a point so far below
cost of production, that an improvement
in value can hardly fail to take place,
and it seems impossible that circumstances
could exist more favorable to
improve the condition of the legitimate
trade of supplying the wants of the people
than now prevail. Speculation, and
expanded operations involving large and
permanent investments, are not likely to
receive much encouragement But
there ought to be an increased demand
for goods of necessity and merit, and
with this should follow better reports of
the condition of the various parts of the
oountry than we are now able to present.
The power of absorption by a
vast people in condition to purchase a ad
pay for merchandise is very great; that
power has reached its lowest exercise
now; yet, as will be seen, we have had
less failures in the last three months
thau for the previous quarter, and the
fact that there are many signs of a more
hopeful condition of business is unde
niable."

The Sultan's Parrot.
A passion for birds characterized
Abdul Aziz's favorite$60,000 Circassian,
as well as her royal owner. His weakness
was gamecocks ; her antipathy was
parrots. It was her favorite amusement
to pluck alive a few parrots every day.
One at least was not so good a courtier
as to meet his death with resignation,
and with a dash of his formidable beak
laid open the sultana's hand. She
uttered a scream of rage and pain.
News of the catastrophe was hastily carried
by one of the attendant eunuchs
to the sultan, who was presiding at a
meeting of the cabinet. Ho turned pale,
adjourned the session, and hastened to
the harem, where the feathered offender
was brought before him and addressed
in a long and indignant oration that
made every one else in the harem
tremble. Then approaching the sultana,
he took from her ebon tresses a gold
hairpin and with it pierced the heart of
the audacious bird who had declined
, joyfully to aooept death at the hands of
the sultan's favorite. That was the sort
| of hairpin he was.

r dor him while his pony was at full speed,
aud thus unencumbered made his escape
So closely did the Indians approach oru
skirmishers at times that they inflictec
er several wounds with battle axes, lancei
e, and arrows, and in one or two instance!
Id they closed in on a brave soldier and go1
ad his scalp before comrades could rusl
0_ forwrrd to the rescue. They repeatedly
lje courted death by endeavoring to secur*
k0 the bodies of their own dead. One in
he stance of this kind was plainly visible t<
. most of us. An Indian riding along th<
1 ' bluff was, with his pony, made the tar
er get for dozens of rifles, and rider, pon;
and all finally tumbled head over heel*
lf- down the hillside. Two braves immedi
ae ateiy sallied forth for the body of thei
ly defunct brother, but one of them ala
g- fell before it was reached. The othe
seemed to think ???
a
than two dead ones, and hastily scrambled
back. Another warrior met him,
however, and persuaded him to go along
on a second trial. Abont the time the
bodies were reached a pony was shot,
and both Indians, then thoroughly dej
moralized, m de for cover and reached
it in safety. Oue thing is an absolute
certainty, and that is the fact that the
Sioux had ttaked a great deal on this
battle, and that their fighting was consequently
little lees than savage fretzy
or the fighting of demons.
Our troops fired over ten thousand
rounds of ammunition, and it is believed
that the Sioux discharged froifi a third
to a half more. Behind a ledge of rocks
from where a band of them fired for a
little over half an hour, about a peck of
cartridge shells were found, and other ;
places of concealment were strewn with 1
them almost as thickly. Many of these i
were the long, hard shooting Sharps,
which show another decided advantage
they have over our troops. But the mar- j
vel of it is how so much ammunition
could be expended with so little loss of
life to our force. Dodging and skulking 1
and scattering out, as the savages always
do, we could not expect to hand them a
very long mortality list, but not possessing
that snake-like, weasel-like faculty
of being where we are not, or not
being just where we are supposed to be, <
it is hard to see why an average Indian I
marksman could not kill but once in a 1
thousand shots. f

What Is Snnstrokc. '
Medical men, if they are good chem- '
ists and pathologists, do not mnch be- i
lieve in sunstroke in the genuine mean-- j
ing of the word. They know that the 1
snn may beat with fiercest rays on any i
healthy person, so long as the air is dry. j
We remember, says an exchange, that j
some years ago there were seventeen j
cases of snnstroke occurring in the ]
shade at a sugar refinery in New York.
Evidently the son's rays had nothing to
do with that. It was an atmosphere
saturated with moisture at a high rate
of temperature that did the work of
death. Most cases of so-called sunstroke
are really waterstroke, faintness
occasioned by prolonged vapor bath.
Yet it produces prolonged disorder. <
The blow may fall upon the brain, or
upon the little brains . known as
ganglions, which control our unconscious
organic life, and are beyond the
control of the will, but in either event
the cause is exhaustion by reason of humid
heat and the oonsequences usually
last a lifetime, in the shape of a lessened
capacity to endure fatigue and a dreary
nervousness unknown before. In the
midst of a heated term the preventive is
to keep cool and shady.

Which Shall I Take.
This is often a serious question with the
invalid. He duds the market flooded with proprietary
medicines, scores of which are recommended
as certain cures for his peculiar ailment.
He reads the papers, circulars and
almanacs, and flndB each sustained by plausible
arguments setting forth its virtues and
specific action. The recommendations are a.strong
for one as for another. The oure*
claimed to have been wrought by one are as
wonderful as those claimed to have been
wrought by another. In his perplexity and
doubt, the sufferer is sometimes led to reject
all. But it should bo borne in mind that this
condit:ou of things is one that cannot be remedied.
In a land where all are free, the good
?the truly valuable?must come into competition
with the vile and worthless, and must be
brought to public notice by the same instrumentality,
which is advertising, in such e
case, perhaps the only abeolnte proof that a
remedy is what it claims to be, is to try it.
The " test of a pudding is the eat ng of it."
' Prove all thingB, hold fast that which is
good," is the apostolic injunction. There may,
however, be stronger presumptive evidence in
favor of one remedy than there is in favor of
another, and this should be allowed its due
weight. A due regard to this may save a vast
amount of experimenting and a useless outlay
of money. As presumptive evidence in favor
of Dr. Pierce's family medicines, the proprietor
desires to say that they are prepared by a
new and scientific process by which tbe virtues
of the crude plants and roots are extracted
without the use of a particle of alcohol.
Not a particle of this destroyer of onr
race enters into the composition of either his
Golden Medical Discovery or Favorite Pre
aciiption. This consideration alone ought oertaioly
to rack them high above the vile oompounds
saturated with aloohol, Jamaica rum,
sour beer or vinegar, which are everywhere
offered for sale. Again, they are of uniform
strength, and their virtues can never be impaired
by age. They are also made from
fresh herbs and roots, gathered in their appropriate
season, when they are flush with modi
oical properties. In support of these claims,
the following testimony is offered:
Newabk, N. J., 1876.
R. V. Pierce, M. D.:
Dear Sir?I have sold a great deal of your
excellent remedies, and I prefer to sell them
before others, because they give good satisfaction
to thoso who use them. I hear snob
remarks as " Sage's Remedy completely cured
me; it is a splendid thing;" or, " Pieroe's Discovery
is just what I wanted; I feel better
than I ever did." One of our celebrated singers
usee it for strengthening her voice, and
says ' there is nothiog equals itand so
L might give scores of remarks said about
your preparations. A colored woman was using
your Discovery, and after taking three bottles
was completely cured. 8he, being in the
store, said to me: "I don't want no doctors
'round me so long as I can get tho Discovery:
it beats all your doctors." And so I might go
on. I am most respectfully yours,
