Lrux IN 'Tilu ''xA-K r,rm.-E very n- good h1ouisowife knows that an Iron. IY kettle used for heating water that holds er limo li solution, will in a short time re become' coated with that substance. DY This being a poor conductor of heat, it Vy will of cou rse take a longer time to heat 1 the water than when the kettle was knew. Copper or tin vessels do not be come coated with lime. Tihe reason Is r- that fron hits an aflinity for lime, which h the other metals have not. But this id affi ity can be overcome by coating the ,e inner surface of the vessel with a com 311 pound of tannie acid and Iron, which 1g it insolublo in water and will not pro )y clpitate lime. Thi is easily done. le Take a new tea-kettle and iput a hand re f I1 of oak bark into it, l1i it with water, g, and keep it boiling for three or four CS hout 8, filling it up fron tine to timeas Ib- the water boils away. The iroi and bark k. will be proof against im. Care must )r be taken that the kettle does not boll L's dry and become heated to redness. A id heat a little below that point will die it stroy the coating.----If the lime can be 5 fully removed from an old tea-kettle - it can be coated In the s tim1e manner ah -, a new one, but will require longer 1e time, and perhaps it will be necessary 4- to repeat the boiling two or three times. l3 Fran (lunowbun.-One-lialf pound of ir salt pork, four onions, six medium sized potatoes, about three pounds of r fish, one-hall pound of crackers or bis cult; cleanse, remove the rind, and cut pork and onions together into a pan and fry them brown; then season light (y with salt and plenty of pepper; lle s the potatoes and lay then in cold wa ter until wantedt scrape, cleanse and wash thie 1sh; cut it into small pieces; soak the crackers in water or milk tin til tender; when the po k i.nd onions have browned and been seasoned, add a layer of ish ; on tile fish a layer of - potatoes; on the potatoes a layer of D- ci aIckOrs; then repent tile process, cow ls mnencing with fish, in regular layers io intil the pot Is nearly full, or till tihe if ingredients are used ip.

During the year 1879, five comets were seen by astronomers two of which were periodical, and their appearanees predicted. Of the other three, one was discovered'by Swift of Rochester, while the availabile and necesary elements to two were computed by the Boston Scientific Society, from their own ob servation. Two periodical comets are expected during the latter half of 1889, Winnock's, of which the period Is live years and .ix months, and Faye's of which the period is seven year and four months. Lamps were used before candles. The oil was conducted to the flame by ineans of a wick, long before man learned to use the sulet which hardened into a wick and inake a rigid rod of grease.

A coUNTRY schoolmaster once.-told his pupils tp say "tick" when they should come to a comma In reading; "ticK, tick" when they should come to it semicolon; "tick, tick, tick" for a colon and "tick, tick, tick, tick" for a period, or lull point. The parish miin later having sent word that he would visit the school the next day, the teacher told the pupils to leave out the "ticks" In reading, but to think of then all the same. Now it happened, that the first boy called up by the min Ister had been absent the preceding day, and in the hurry the master had forgotten to give him his instructions how to read. The minister asked the boy to read a chapter in the Old Testa mont, which he pointed out. The boy complied, and in his best accent be gan-"And the Lord spre'c unto Moser' saying tick, spake unto the children of Israel, saying tick, tick tick, and thus shalt though say unto them, tick, tick, tick, tick." This unfortunate exhibi tion acted like a shower-bath on the poor master, while the minister and his friends almost died of laughter. AN rrish laborer was lying in the ditch, very much the worse for liquor. Ite was encountered bythe priest of his parish. Very much shosked, his rever enco turned the drunkard over, who muttered: "Where am 19" "On the road to the bad place," re piled the priest, sternly. "I thought so," said Pat, "when I heard Father Murtagh's voice on the road, too." A MOTTIuun propped up her baby in a chair in a photograph gallery in Colum bus, Ohio, to have Its picture taken, and then excused herself for a moment. The photographer took the picture, and now Ie wants some one to take the baby. lie is not a Congressman, and lie thinks its mother has a shooking bad memory. She must be a "negative" sort of a woman. Boys who have been in the habit of bathing in the Susquehanna should ,e informed that an ambloplits rupestri8 has been found In its waters. But It should not deter them trom bathing. The ambloplites rupestris will not bite. It is a game fish, and we don't suppose It would bite If we were to drop it a line all day. Sni was a school teacher and had to Leach morals a; well as arithmetic, so when a big oath came from a little urchin on the play ground, she made hin clImb up into her lap and pro teeded to tell him to "Swear not at all." "I didn't swear at all-IJist cursed one fellow, and you would too, if he'd -huuked a big snow ball down your b~ac k." AN enthusiastic old fellow and his wife recently visited Niagara Falls. I'hey worshipped the Fails all day from the piazza in front of their room, and retired talking over Its wonders. At in early hour next morning the old rentleman was on the qui rive, and as 1eon as he saw the Falls again, he sang ut, "W ife I wifeI JiPI be durned If the water ain't still rumininsg over the lam.*" "REALLY, my dear,"bsald poor Mr. Iones to his better half, you have sadly lisappointed me. I once considered (ou a jewel of a woman, but you've urned out only a bit of matrimonial aste." "'lihen, my love," was the reply, "console yourself with the idea mhaL paste is very adhosivo, and will stick to you as long as you live.'' AN army ocleer is retired when lie goes out of service, and a wvheel is re Gired to go into service again.

MoT H E (at tea table) : "Jack, Who helped you to those three tarts?" Jack (age?7): The Lord." Mother; "The Lord ? Why what do you mean, Jack ?" Jack: "Well, I helped myself; but father said not long ago that the Lord helps those who help themselves." WHNx you can hardly say enough for a mani, say lie Is one of a thousand.
