THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

There is nothing more charming than a row of pearly teeth—nothing more detrimental to even a decidedly pretty person than the unexpected discosure of a set of blackened “ivories”—-and, since the keeping of the teeth in perfect condition is so easy a task, the wonder is that the majority of people are so derelict in the discharge of their simple duty, Take equal parts of cream of tartar and fine table salt: pulverize it, then mix it well together. Wash the teeth with this every morning, and afterward rub them with a dry cloth, or piece of chamois leather, dipped ip the dry mixture. This renders the teeth radiantly white. To make lip salve that has baen sold in larger quantities than any other such pomade known, take two ounces of oil of lemon, one 'ounce of white wax, and one ounce of spermaceti. Melt these ingredients together and, while warm, add two ounces of rose water and one-half ounce of orange flower water: —This is a most excellent article. The lips are liable to excoriations and chaps that often extend to a seriously uncomfortable depth, the trouble being usually occasioned by cold. The above salve will be found efficacious in correcting these evils. To cure the most severe cold catchable, take one teaspoonful of flax?4seed, one ounce of licorice, and onequarter of a pound of raisins. Put the above named ingredients into two quarts of water, and over a slow fire boil it down to one-half its original bulk. Now, pound till very fine one-quarter of a pound of rock candy, add it to the mixture, and finish by adding one tablespoonful of lemon juice. Drink half a pint of this upon going to bed, and a little more when the cough is troublesome. This is a sovereign balsamic cordial for the longs. ~~— A positive cure for insomnia is to make a tea of Jerusalem oak, that grows in the woods, and drink it as < you would any other tea, before going to bed. Another excellent ir e shod for treating burrs may meet the approval of those who are opposed to the using of white lead as a curative. Mix in a bottle three ounces of olive oil and four ounces' of lime water. Apply the mixture to the burn or scald five or six times a day with a soft feather. Linseed oil may be used when olive oil is not at hand. To make the lime water (this is an indispens*. able thing to keep on hand) take onehalf pound of unslaked lime, put it in an earthen pot, pour two or three quarts of pure soft water upon it and let it stand for one day. Next day efikim off the top and bottle the clear liquid for use. Cork and seal with wax. A simple liniment for bore throat is made by mixing two parts of sweet oil and one part of spirits of hartshorn.

Why He Wanted His Persimmons. Green.

, With the immortal Gen. Stonewall Jackson, straggling, especially during a forward march, was an unpardonable offense; but there was one instance in which it was promptly condoned. During one of the forceci marches along in the summer of ’62, through the pine and ’simmons rejgions, he stopped to consult with /some general officers until the whole command had passed some distance. Riding forward to the front he discovered a private of his old brigade up a’simmbn tree. . “What are you doing so far in the rear?” cried the General. “I am eating ’simmons,” said the “Why, they are not ripe,” said the General. ; “I know it,” said the soldier. “I want ’em green. “Why do you eat green 'simmons," ifcaid old Blue Light. “To draw my stomach up to fit my rations,” said old Web Foot.

Thousands nave been saved by it—thousands more are putting it off till late. For every form of Scrofula, Bronchial, Throat, and Lung Affections, Weak . Lungs, Severe ©Coughs, and kindred ailments, it *is a positive remedy. It’s guaranteed to do all that’s claimed for it If it doesn’t benefit or cure, in every case, your money is returned.

PREPARING FOR WAR.

The Brooklyn Navy Yard Busy All Day Sunday. Basts Being Made in the Preparation Of War Vessels for Active Service. Adispatch from Brooklyn Monday,says: The Brooklyn Navy Yard presented an appearance of activity witnessed for the first time since the exciting times of the rebellion yesterday. uThe hum and the din of the busy workmen on the war vessels Miantonomah and Atlanta disturbed the Sabbath stillness as a body of 400 bine jackets marched across the yard to divine service. Workmen have been busily engaged day and night, for the past week in preparing the two vessels for speedy service at sea. Sunday the work, of preparation was continued, it being the first Sunday since the late warthat such a thing has occurredThere were eighty men at work on the two vessels, and all expedition will be used until they are ready for service al sea. The navy yard allthorities denied the rumored sinking of the U. S. war vessel Baltimore at Valparaiso. I t was said that the officers and crew of the Baltimore exercise the same vigilance as in war times, and the torpedo boats about the vessel would save her from sudden attack. The unusual bustle and activity at the navy yard is said not to be due to the reported sinking of the Baltimore, but i t i s conceded that the strained relations between this country and Chili have caused the government much anxiety to get all its war vessels ready for any possible contingency. r ■ - A dispatch from Vale.jo, Cal..-Monday, says: There is great activity in the navy yard. Machinists were, at work all day to-day (Sunday) on the Mohican and wfl] work again to-night, Telegrams have been received in the yard urging the putting the vessels in readiness for sea at once. AU the available workmen on the lists have been sent for and a thousand men will be at work in a few days. San Francisco is alarmed, having but meagre defense against an attack.

RUSK’S REPORT.

Review of a Year’s Doings in the Farmer’s Department. The Secretary Gives Many Figures and Makes Several Recommendations. Secretary Rusk’s third annual report estimates an increase of $700,009,000 in the value of farm products last year. In the first three mouths of this fiscal year $760,000,090 worth of cereals alone were exported. Total exports of farm products for the year will probably exceed those of any previous year. For the first ten months under the new tariff law imports of agricultural products increased $28,000,000 over the corresponding period of the last year under the old law. Under the new law there has been a decrease of $11,000,000 in the importation of tobacco, .$3,500,000 in barley, $1,125,000 in eggs, $1,500,000 in horses and a gradual decline in the imports of all live stock. He claims the admission of hides free has lowered the value of home-grown hides, and earnestly recommends that the duty provided for in section 3of the McKinley act imposed in all cases where the countries from which such hides are shipped have not granted equal concessions in regard to the admission of the agricultural products of the United States be imposed. Secretary Rusk savs the meat inspection law has worked well. Up to October 1 1.016,614 auimals had been inspected. 63,672 hog carcasses examined microscopically, and but 1,976 condemnations were made. The cost has been within the anticipated limit. He thinks inspection can bo made thorough for 3 cents per head, and themlcroscopical exami nation of - hogs for 6 SBBfeSrWpfcs foreigndiscrimination against American pork has cost this country $260,000,000 in the last ten years, and urges Congress to appropriate enough so inspection may be extended to all applicants. Pleuro-pneumania Is undeC-con-trol and confined to three counties in New Jersey and Long Island. The inspection of American cattle in Great Britain has been applied to 326,519 head. A slight decrease in the importation of cattle is noted. The inspection of vessels carrying export cattle has greatly reduced the losses from bad ventilation, etc. In supervising the movement of of southern cattle over 46,000 ears and 1,000,009 animals having been attended to. Greater 1 powers to enforce compliance with the regulations are asked. Secretary Rusk thinks, inasmuch as not a single case of pleuro-pnumonia has been found among exported cattle in a year, a special effort should be made to have Great Britain remove her unjust restrict-

ions. The work introducing Indian corn abroad has -been highly successful. The experiments of producing sugar from sorghum have been highly successful, and the secretary thinks America will eventually produce'all her own sugar. He thinks the transfer of the weather bureau to his department a very good move. The secretary-urges the prohibition of the importation of artificial coffee beans. He thinks liberal appropriations for the agricultural department will result in greatly increasing the value of American farm products. After giving himself a very liberal puff he concludes his report.

All the employes of the late Charles Stewart Parnell on his Avondale estate have been dismissed, and the saw mills and the Arklow quarries, which also be longed to Mr. Parnell, are to be sold. Only the family mansion will be retained. A gas explosion in a coal mine' near Nantichoke, Pa., at 4:30 p. m. Sunday did terrible havoc.. Ten men were almost instantly killed. The accident was caused by the explosion of a lamp. But fourteen , men were working at the time or the re« suit would have been more disastrous. 1 * -'■■■■——— Bankers Sommerfield, father and son shot themselves when their Berlin bank suspended, Saturday.

Not a Local Disease Because Catarrh affects your head, it Is not therefore a local disease. If it did not exist In your blood, it could not manifest itself in your nose. The blood now in your brain is. before you finish reading this article, back in your heart again, and soon distributed to your liver, stomach, kidneys, and so on. Whatever impurities the blood does not carry away, cause what we call diseases. Therefore, when you have Catarrh a snuff or other inhalant can fit most give only temporary relief. The only way to effect a cure is to attack the disease in the blood, by taking a constitutional remedy like Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which eliminates all impurities and thus permanently cures Catarrh. The success of Hood’s Sarsaparilla As a remedyJoriCatarrh is vouched for by many people it has cured. N. B. Be sure to get Hood’s

Individuality in Vessels. To a stilor ev ; ry vessel is an individual. No two vessels, even of the same class, are alike to him. The man who keeps the lookout in the Portland observatory can recognize over lOOjd iff erent vessels belongingto that port the minute he sees them twenty miles away through his telescope. He says there are two vessels that ever were alike in shape or rig. “You see the back of a friend on the street some distance away, and you know him by the evt of h s jib,” he says. This is almost literally true in the case of, vessels. An old sailor sees the difference without being able to explain just wherein it lies. Mr. Robert T. Lincoln, the United States Minister, has returned to the American Embassy in London, leaving his wife at Tours, in France.
