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 Times, A Youthful Judge. A little lecollection of the Commune was recently evoked at Paris, when Arnton/1 Rorrol a vnnno man of farant.T. JUirtUU UV M J V(AW^ !! ? I V* VfTVMVJ " 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.

" 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 can make him forget his early Sundayschool training. 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." I 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. The Sun Cholera Remedy.

Recklessness of the Sloux-VWaste of Ammunition on Both Sides. The Denver (Col.) News prints a let6 ter, dated at Camp Cloud Peak, Wyon ming, which gives an interesting account d of Gen. Crook's recent battle with the i- Indians. The writer says : ., The Sioux were all spiendidly mounte ed, nnchso long as pressed did much of if their firing on horseback. Some of the n most reckless feats of equestrianism imaginable were performed by them within I- ?O *. range of the broadside of an entire company. In numerous instances one or two warriors dashed out from behind la their cover of rocks, hugged close to the ir neck of the pony and half bounded, half 1(1 tumbled down the nearly vertical banks ld after a bold Crow, Snake or white skirst misher, delivered a shot or two, and like >d a flash disappeared in spite of volleys id sent after him. Up hill or down, over if rocks, through canyons, and in every to conceivable dangerous condition of af28 fairs their breakneck riding was accom >n plished. One reckless brave got badlj c_ pressed by the cavalry, at a certain poinl lW in the field, and jerking out his bowie knifo he slashed apart his saddle girthi . slipped it with all its trappings from un 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 i < 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.

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, A tea B. CBOOK8. Nothing is more harassing than ulcers or boils.
