Substitute for Bottle Wax.?Take 400 grams plaster of Paris, 600 grams white English cement, 300 grams chalk, 200 grams dextrine, 5 liters alcohol , varnish and a sufficient quantity of ochre or other coloring material to produce the color desired. The necks of the bottles are dipped into this mixture ' and allowed to dry. Cold Cream.?Take pure white wax and spermaceti ointment, of each, 1 ounce ; oil of almonds, j pint; melt * together, then pour them into a large warm mortar, and add orange flower ( water, 1 fluid ounce; rose water, 4 fluid ounces. Stir until nearly cold, then i put into porcelain pots for use. Batter Pudding.?Three eggs, seven tablespoons of flour, one quart of milk, boiled, reserving enough to wet the flour.

Beat the four whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, and mix them gently with the rest; rub a mould well with butter, which dust with bread^ crumbs ; turn the mixture into it, and fill until two-thirds full; place it in the oven (heated at about 400 degrees F.) for forty minutes, and serve it hot or cold, with a sauce, as it may be liked Value ot Ashes for Potatoes. On a small patch of land which I have cultivated this season to potatoes, ashes were applied in the hill at the rate of sixty bushels to the acre, save on the row, which was left for the purpose of comparison. On this no ashes were applied. On digging the potatoes, those from the row without ashes and also those from the two adjacent rows were weighed. Computing the yield for an acre of each, the following is the result: Large Small Potatoes. Potatoes. Total BushelB. Bushel*. Bushels, acre without ashes, lfis S3 220 One acre with ashes.... 200 37 237 If we take into the account only the large potatoes, the thirty-two bushels gained by using ashes at sixty cents per bushel would amount to 819 20. This jsum divided by 60, the number of Dusneis 01 asnes to tne acre, gives tmrty-two cents per bushel as their value. Allowing for the labor of applying the ashes, and also for the excess of small potatoes from the ground upon which no ashes were applied, it would be safe to regard the value of the ashes to about twenty-five cents per bushel. The ashes were from mixed wood, about two-thirds soft wood and onethird hard wood. It is more than probable that from the dryness of the season the beneficial effects of the ashes in the soil have not yet been fully realized. During the growing season the row without ashes could not have been selected by the appearance of the tops. The two lots of potatoes have not vet been compared as to quality for table use. Those, however, which have been tasted from land to which ashes were applied, are excellent. The Orono potato was used for the experiment.? Maine Farmer, Salt-RUIng Bread. Put three teacups of water, as warm as you can bear your finger iu it, in a two quartcupor bowl, and three-fourths of a teaspoonful of salt; stir in flour enough to make quite a stiff batter; this is for the rising, or emptyings, as some call it. Set the bowl, closely covered, in a kettle in warm water, as "warm as you can bear your finger in," and keep it as near this temperature as possioie. i>otice me time when you " set " your rising ; in three hours stir in two tablespoonfuls of flour, put it back, and in five and one-half hours from the time of setting it will bo within one inch of the top of your bowl. It is then light enough, and will make up eight quarts of flour. Make a sponge in the centre of your flour with one quart of water of the same temperature as rising, stir the rising into it, cover with a little dry flour, and put it where it will keep very warm, but not .scald ; in three-fourths cf an hour mix this into stiff dough. If watt r is used, be sure it is very warm, aud do not work as much as yeast bread; make the loaves a little larger and keep it warm for another three-quarters of an hour ; it will then be ready to bake. While rising this last time have your oven heating ; it needs a hotter oven than yeast bread. Cure fur the Itch. The itch is caused by insects that burrow in the skin. Their name is acari.

Or, what is still better, an ointment of carbolic acid, two drachms; beuzoated lard, three ounces. Three or four frictions in the twentyfour hours suffice to kill the acari, after which a bath of soap and water is to be taken, and the disease produced by these parasites is thus infallibly cured in twenty-four hours.

A n Oregon Lady Relates a Care by It. jgj A correspondent writes from Oakland, m Oregon, as follows; ja, Several years ago I lived in northeast 0f Missouri, and at that time had a son ^ iged about six years who was bitten by ^ a rabid dog. The wound was an ugly sa one upon the arm, between the elbow and the shoulder. Wo were greatly au frightened, as you may imagine, and in were at a loss what antidotes to apply. ^ We had heard of two mad stones in the :jj possession of a Mrs. Hardin, a lady U, living at Council Bluffs, Iowa. As a 11 forlorn hope my husband started [after these stones. He rode on horseback T1' night and day, and returned from his . mission with the mad stonee on the fifth day after the bite. We had but little confidence in such remedies. The wound had nearly healed, and we were directed to shave or Bcrape the surface about it slightly, ,, so that the pus would ooze out, but not ' so that the blood would flow. We applied one of the stones, and, strange to , relate, it would seem to fasten itself to Mia rrrmnrl Pnr firftfr, fft\T d&Vfi it would remain upon the [wound, absorb- e ing all the pus, or matter, which flowed out, for about twelve hours at a time, j11 and would then detach itself, and drop off. After a time it took longer for the W1 pores to fill, and, consequently, the re stone would stick for a correspondingly re greater period. q The last application was on the ? thirteenth day after the bite, and then the stone stuck fer forty-eight hours, at and would adhere no longer. After each application wo washed and thoroughly cleansed the stone in warm water. Gradually, as the stone seemed to draw the poison with the pus, it made for itself a cavity in the arm, sinking deeper at each application. At fc last it had quite buried itself, and a a. putrid sore formed, which had a very * offensive smell, but which finally healed. During- the whole operation the patient was quite sick, and grew very ? pale and weak, his whole nervous system seeming to be shattered. He fully recovered at last, and never ? afterward manifested any Bigns of the malady resulting from the bite. But you may inquire how we knew that the dog was mad. I myself saw it manifest . all the symptoms of hydrophobia. It was seen to bite two hogs, and both of them became mad, one of them in two weeks and the other in three weeks. We let them rave for a few days and then shot them. The stone that wo used was an inch and a half long, half an inch in diame- ^ ter, and of a light, gray color. It was ^ porous, resembling in many respects pieces of coal that I have seen. Where it was found I do not know, nor can I give its geological classification. Certain it is it cured our boy, as my 1ms- pj band and others can testify. Mrs. N. Rice. P1 The postmaster at Oakland indorses ? the above communication by saying : ai <?

[e d( At a short distance from l'ort de a France, the seat of government of Mar- m tinique, rise the celebrated hot mineral P< springs known as " Fontaine Chaud." ^ These springs are said to possess great curative properties. They flow in large d? streams from the ground, and the aij waters are conveyed to bathing-houses, to which great numbers of invalids re- hf sort. A romantic history is connected ea with this place. In the year 1837 the pi springs were visited by a party, con- 60 sisting of Monsieur, and Madame La de Rossare, Mile. Adele Monery, the maid- gc servant, and several other persons. One te day, while they were enjoying the bath, ro and entirely unsuspicious of danger, fr the enbankmeut at the head of the tv springs, where the waters were confined of in a large reservoir, gave way, the tor- wi rent overwhelmed the bathing-houses, pc and bore the inmates to destruction. In Among the victims was the beautiful ng Mile. Adele. This young lady was con- fr sidered the most beautiful maiden on cd the island, and we can not refrain from wi relating a story which illustrates the m power and fascination of her charms. fo Her brother, who was engaged in ex- in tensive commercial enterprise in Mar- tb tinique, suddenly found himself in- sr volved, by tho dishonesty of a man or with whom he was connected, in pe- hi cuuiary difficulties, from which he was pi unable to extricate himself, and he w failed ior the large sum of one million pi francs. Unable to make a true ex- w hibit of his affairs without involving a of person whom lie was unwilling to drag si: liofnio tli? liiililic. lift drttermiiiPfl to I Ol sacrifice himself, ami fled from the p( island without attempting to justify himsi If to his creditors. Criminal pro- tb ceedings were commenced against him. in He was summoned to appear at court, si and on his failure to do so, he was pro- " nounced guilty, and sentenced to be tli burned in efligy in the public 6quare. hi This sentence was carried into effect. tli His sister, the beautiful and fascinating pi Adele, knowing him to be guiltless, m brooded long over the disgrace and E; sorrow which had clouded the honor of ai: the family, and at length she determined p? to make an eftbrt to clear her brother's fa character. Obtaining an interview b( with the governor, she sank upon her | di knees before him, and made an im-' passioned appeul for clemency toward the fugitive, who, she urged, had never been beard in his owu defense. Moved . by her beauty, her eloquence, and sis- la terly devotion, the gallantold governor, gr whose heart was still young, gently ki raised her from the ground, and prom- se ised a full pardou for her brother if on a new investigation it should appear 1 tliat he had been too severely dealt ftS with. In a few weeks she had the hap- fo piness to send her brother a full pardon, V(, and permission to return to the island, qq Nor was the old governor content with c], this simple act of justice. He guve the w] young man a post of honor and respon- ti< sibilitv under trovcrument. which he i held lor many year?. But alter the j W) tragical death of his sister his own life : ^ was destined to end under a eloud. He j Cl, held a position in the Treasury, and on j W( one occasion, when re quired to produce s? a large amount of gold, he discovered i to his horror that the money had been i bi stolen from the vault in which it had 1 jH been stored. Stung to desperation, and pV knowing too well that th> old story would be revived, he shot himself or through the head. A short time after- fa ward the real thief was discovered and te brought to punishment. The memory j0 :>f the beautiful Adele and her uu- w] fortunate brother is still tenderly cherished in Martinique. th ac The Methodist Episcopal Church of gr die United States, during the past year, th is said to have gained in ^*,000,- oe XX), and in member o,o00." gr jiaei > irS'imfmtHV 1 ' i i al 1 la iJr l Hfc> i ir 'i IiT m " TIte Barnacle " at Washington, There used to be a clerk in the Reg- 1 ser's office at Washington, says a a 1 iter, who belonged to one of those ere milies which ever since the foundation ero the Government have considered ill 1 emselves, by prescriptive right, en- the led to be provided for by it. At the ma me time, his father was chief of one anc the bureaus in the War Department, d he had a brother who was employed ^ the Interior Department. He had ' so another brother who had been in j e army, but, becoming disabled by ^ ( ness, had been honorably discharged, rj >r this brother, too, he was deter- ^ ined to secure a place in the civil ser ce. With this object he went from ipartment to department, but always thout success.

" Why don't you go directly to the ^ jcretaries ?" asked Mr. Lincoln. ^ "I have been to them all," was the ^oi iswer. du " Hasn't your brother sufficiently re- ter vered his health to enable him to reirn to the army ?" inquired the Presi- jje) " No, sir, I think not, " was the reply. ^ "Let me see," continued Mr. Lin- I ?ln, " I believo that you yourself are jn? clerk in one of the departments? ? bich one is it?"

Without navigable rivers, ithout railroads, and hemmed in on all ilea by lofty mountains ; without any reign trade to speak of, with its inibited patches widely separated from ,ch other by burning deserts, with its oducing classes, in the best of sea- ? ns, living from hand to mouth, un- fl *r the pressure of perhaps the worst (vernment in the world, and under the ., rrors of countless roving bands of . bbers, the wonder is, not that Persia om its late famine and pestilence lost W1 ro or three millions of its ten millions 8 people, bnt that half its population is not swept away. That vast and L >pulous region now known as British idia, on the other hand, famous in all ;es as one of the most fertile and * uitful regions of the globe, intersect- ing I by navigable streams and by rail- ftrc ays, and, under the rule of England, ade more productive than ever here, unless visited by a famine coverg most of the rice-producing area of wit ie country, cannot suffer as Persia has ap] iffered from a failure of the crops for the ie or two seasons.

One of the favorite methods of specu- tG ting of the Rothschilds in ante-tele- tali aph days was to notify their well- n? lown brokers to sell a certain stock or ,r am curity. Every body on the Exchange to\ mid be aware they were selling, and his they invariably had the earliest in- to rmation, their action would have a ry depressing influence on the market. ^ ie simple announcement, "The Roths- cet lilds are selling," let the security bo list it might, would put down the par* *i r A X - ?* 1 nuar security irom two to uvtj pci nt.

A Beef Reform. ?exan beef has hitherto been under jan. It has been a synonym for rything tough, tasteless, and treachus. But the Texan steer has been tised?not only in having been made subject of caustic sarcasm and dis1 jokes, but in having been so cruelly I unjustly treated that the condition lessarily precedent to this sarcastic iso has been forced upon him. Ho i been driven from his free and airy tures upon the great Texan plains, a g and dreary seven months' journey ;he prairies of Kansas and Colorado, on his enforced journey he has been ised, run down, lashed with whips, I partially starved; afterwards exlecl to the howling tempests of an ensely oold winter in his new pases.he has picked his living upon the ' grass and sedges along the banks the Arkansas or the Platte.

For the Texas steer is no ill hard case. Theoretically, as a iss-fed steer, he should furnish the st and juiciest of beef. Practically d truly he does this. We can vouch the fact because within a day or o we have eaten a steak from a steer lich was slaughtered upon his native ath.
