A PAPKR FDR THE PEOPLE.

HOUSEHOLD HELPS.

Afilk and butter should be kept In a perfectly pure atmosphere, as they readily tako up foul oclors. Cabbage and turnips cooked in the same room will impart to them a disagreeable taste.

Extraordinary stories are told of the healing properties of a new oil made from the yolk of hens' eggs. The eggs are first boiled Hard, the yolks are then removod, crushed and placed over a fire, where they are carefully stirred until the whole substance is just on the point of catching fire, when the oil separates and may poured off. It is used for cuts, bruises, and scratches.

An English journal says tho difficulty of removing hard putty from a window sash can be obviated with great readiness bv simply applying a piece of heated metal, such as a soldering iron orother similar implement. When heated, (but not red not) the iron is to be passed slowly over the putty, thereby rendering the latter sft soft that it will part from the wood without any trouble.

Grease may bo removed from carpets by covering the spot with whiting and letting it remain until saturated w'th the grease, when it should be scraped off and another coat of whiting applied, and if this does not entirely remove it make a third application, alter winch clean off thoroughly with a clotnes brush.

KMARKABLE POWER OF

11A MMO SD, THE RE VIVALIST.

A Ualesburv, 111., letter of recent date says: It is difficult to see wherein the power of Mr. llammond lies. Each night an audience of from 2,500 to 3,000 gather at the Opera House—drawn there by what? Kurelv not by the eloquence of Mr. H., lor although he tells a story with wonderful power—about equal to Gough—lie is far from being a polished orator. It is not convincing argument his discourse last night—the first ho has given to adults—had scarcely a strong

^°His thome is always the love of Christ. Many say in regard to the children (150 of Tuesday night) that they are frightened mto'it. Such is not the case. Not once has Mr. II. been heard to make use of tho argument that unless they repent they will go to hell. The love of Christ can be said to bo his only argument.

So much has been said in regard to his making money out of his work that last night he felt constrained to say a fow words in justification. He said he could make more in three weeks lecturing than ho now makes in a year or two that he had repeatedly been offered §200 a night—"Yes, and got it too!" for lectures that ho had written here that he did not want to hear anything about money matters: that he was preaching at tho very risk of his life, as every doctor who knew his condition told him.

Thuro is very little of tho excitement which usually attends revivals, no violence or shouting, bnt every ono seems unnaturally grave and quiet. The work among adults has just begun and it is too soon to predict anything in regard to results. Probably over 200 children claim to have been converted, but there may bo some doubt whether all are truly converted.

WHEN

King David Kalakaua went to

New Bedford lie got among tho whalers. Many of them called upon him, not to leave their pasteboard, but to shake him lustily by the hand, liko jolly old tarpaulins, 'as they are. Several of them claimed acquaintance with the^ kind, which was recognized in several instances. Among others of tho patriarchal saltics there was a ('apt. Gardner, aged 90, tho only survivor, of course, of the first whaling crew that called at the Sandwich islands, sevonty-five years ago. The old whaler was quite lively in his recollection ot how the queen swam out to the ship, and how she and her naiads disportod frolicsomely in tho surf and out in the deep bluo beforo they came on board, and how they offered for sale yams, bananas and the fruit of tho island, and how the queen was a comely woman to look upon4 although sbo was a nig and addicted to a little cold missionary. It is not known what effect these reminiscences had upon Kalakaua, bnt ho professed to bo deliglied with all that he saw and heard. Looking back to tho past of his lin», the contrast between his great-groat-grancl-mot-Her swimming out to the wniiiera with breadstuff, and himself careering over this continent in a Pullman sleeping car and enjoying the luxuries of the highest eivilizatfon, must haro occurred to him as a remarkable change in tho tide «f his affairs.

TUK good peopie of tho town of E—— wcro talking of moving their meeting house to a more agreeablo locality Among tho advocates of the movement none wcro more earnest than old Deacon A who, by tho way, had an uncontrollable habit of sleeping in church. No matter how interesting the discourse, tho old deacon was sure to "drop off'* at about such a time. On the Sabbath preceding the day appointed for moving tho house, the pastor preached a sermon on The Rock of Ages. Growing eloquent in his remarks, the good minister finally asked with great emphasis:

Who can move It?" The deacon having been asleep as u«ual, woko up Just in time to catch the query, and thinking the pastor referred to the meeting house, roso in his seat and exclaimed:

I'll bring over my yoke of steers. They'll jerk it along tho whole distance if you'lf keep plenty of hard wood rollera under it f"

Tho deacon never slept in meeting after that.

HEALTH MAXIMS.

The best time to cat fruit is half an hour before bwakf*st. Keep a box of powdered starch on the wash stand and after washing, rub a pinch over tho hands. It will prevent chapping.

A full bath ahouid not be takon less than three hours after meal. Never drink cold water before bathing. Do not tako a celd hath when tired.

Living and sleeping in a room In which the sun never enters, is a slow form of suicide. A sun-bath is the most refreshing and life-giving bath that possibly can be taken.

Tall and bulky people require more sleep than thin people. In a state of health ft ho amount of sleep required to restore nervous energy averages from six to eight hours. Sleep on the right Ride, and eat nothing heavy before retiring.

Wrru women in their relation to their husbands and homes, as with men in relation to their country, the loyalty ®f wisdom and freedom is better than the nllcgiaccc of policy and necessity.

HITS OF WISDOM.

A clumsy foot may tread tho right road. Ho cheats you who makes you angry about a trifle.

The value of every man is the good which he doeth. No one is so insignificant ns to besuro his example can do no hurt.

Gentle behavior and liberality procure tho lovo even ot our enemies. The good man's life is liko the mountain top, beautiful because it is nearer heaven.

When ill news comes too late to bo serviceable to your neighbor, keep it yourself.

The mind has more room in it than most people think, if you would but furnish the rooms.

AN OLD LADY'S LECTURE ON HASTY MA RRIA OES.

Laws-a-massy! When I was young 'twits different then. Why, when folks was going to get married, they took time and meditated upon it, and kinder studied each other out, and rejected and considered, ami when they did get married—married from top to too—they expected to stay married there warn't no talk of divorces then. They knew beforehand that they was to 'hov and to hold' till grim death, and most usually did. But now a young fellow sees a pretty gal, and asks her to tako a walk, and sho's ready—"Yes, sir, and thank you, too"—and they go and get marriod, with no more realizing sense of their responsibility than Cock Robin has when he twitters to Jennie Wren. Well, pretty soon they go at it—she finds she don't like tobacco smoke, and ho don't like a wife that can't do anything but frizzlo her hair—so it goes from bad to worse, until at last they sue for divorce. And they'll get it, too. For what? Why, for uncomfortability of temper. O, laws-a-massv.! Soul sake! Now, did you ever? tlncomfortability of temper. O, Lordy."

Incompatibility of temper, Mrs. Hutchinson," the listener suggested. •'Yes, I know it I said so uncomfortability of temper—them's the words that does it. Well, is there not allers uncomfortability of temper in every family, and allers has been and allers will lie? Only in good old times they used to screw it down and keep it under and so you see they managed to get along without none of your divorces." ________________

THE CONDITION OF JUPITER.

Tho Hartford Times says: We are accustomed to hear it spoken that Jupiter is large—but imagine a globe whose diameter is 85,000 miles, or perhaps you may get some slight idea when we say he is 1,300 times as large as our globe. But large as this kingly planet is, and great as is the splendor with which he shines, there are reasons for believing there are on his surface no rich and beautiful green fields, no rivers upon which gentle breezes are wafled to and fro, but that all is in a condition of tremendous activity, and that in cloudlayers of many thousand miles in thickness we see hurricanes, blowing for weeks and months together, to which our severest gales are but gentle breezes.

Through these enormous vapory envelopes we see at times a seething, bubbling globe, waiting for the time, which, alas, seems likely never to come, when it too may become the abode of human creatures for, when Jupiter's own internal heat dies out, he will have no sun near enough to sustain on his distant orb any such creatures as the poople of the Earth.

That great planet will then be cold, desolote, and dreary place for, although the sun with its great power compels Jupiter to travel an orbit of many millions of miles, yet it cannot supply him with one-quarter of the amount of heat it gives us. As seen from Jupiter, the sun is but one-fifth as large as we see it, and the earth must sink down to a mere point near the sun—as Mercury seems as*

ETERNITY is a solemn word and a solemn world. The soul of man shrinks back with dismay and dread from entering that mysterious abode of spirits. And yet all are on their way to eternity and must soon enter it alone. But how little think the gay and pleasure loving who tread so near its dark shores how soon they must launch away on that untried ocean!

best brands. We find after an impartial trial that the Champion excels, consequently would advise all persons wanting a Baking Powder that is fully up to the standard not only in quality," quantity, to try Hedges' Chi Baking Powder. Respectfully, tlttWK Ar r»l

HUNT

Gentlemen—A month or so ago I was in Springfield visiting a friend, and noticing the wonderful success she had in baking, led me to inquire into her mode of baking. 8he seemed to think one reason she succeeded so well was because she used your Champion Baking Powder, and in addition to this, she lauded it so highly that since I came home I have been trying to persuade one of oar grocery men to send and get some, but as yet have not succeeded. Please send one pound to my addresst and if you have any Receipt Books oblige me by enclosing one or them as I want to follow your directions closely when baking. Respectfully,
