THE OUTSIDE DOO IN THEt FIGHT. 1 Ttio well known po«-m "The Bottom Dog in the Fight," 1* ecllpswl by JOJIM PABI.8 on "The Outside Dog in the Fight: "You may sing of your dog, your bottom dog,

Or of any dog you please: 1 go for the dog. the wise old dog, Thftt knowingly take* his ea.*, And, wagging his u»U outakle the ring,

Deeping ways hi* lon» In sight. Cares not a pin, in ills wise old head, For either dog in the flght.

Not his the bone they are lighting tor, And why should my dog sail in. With nothing gain, but a certain chance,

To lose his own precious sklu? 'There may b« a few. perhaps, who ftUl To s«»e »t in quite this light

But when the fur Hi. I had rather be '1 he outside dog in the flght. I know there are dogs, most generous dogs,

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.

Black shoo» may be bronxed by a strong solution of aniline red in alooliol. Keroseno and powdered lime, whiting, or wood ashes will scour ting with the leant labor.

Uuttor will remove tar spots. Soap and water will afterwards take out the grease stain.

Unslaked lime is excellent for cleaning small steel articles, such as jewelry, buckles, and the like.

To prevent moths in carpet, wash the floor before laying them with spirits of turpentine or Oenzine.

A teaspoonful of powdered borax dissolved in a quart of tebid water is good for cleaning old black dresses of silk, cashmere, or alpaca.

Straw matting should bo washed with a cloth dampened in salt water. Indian meal sprinkled over it and thoroughly swept out will also cleanse it finely.

Tho total number of strings In a piano, when properly atrotched to produce the right tones, exert a pull of over ten tons this explains why irood pianos must be

durably and heavily bui For a hacking cough at night place beside vour bed five or six lumps ol cut laaf sugar, with six drops of paregoric poured upon each, and take one whenever a coughing fit comes on. It will soon stop tho paroxysms and permit sleep.

To correct a fetid breath, the following dental wu?li i.s most excellent Tincture of codar wood, one pint tincture of myrrh, one ounce liquid chlorinated soda, half ounce essence of wintergreen, one ounce wash the mouth with a tablespoonful in a glass of water.

Papering and painting are best done in cold weather, especially the latter, for tho wood absorbs the oil of paint viucu more than in warm weather while in cold weather the oil hardens on the outside, making a coat which will protect tho wood instoad of soaking into It.

Tho simplest remedy for chapped hands Is found in everyone's kitchen closet—and is common starch. Reduce it to an impalpable powder, put in a muslin bag, keep it in the table drawer. Whenever yow take your hands out ol dishwater or suds, wipe them dry with a towel, and while yot damp, shape the •tarch bag all over them and rub it in. The effect is most agreeable.

Never paper a wall over old paper and

iste. Always scrape down thoroughly. paper can be got off by damping with saloratus and water. Then go over all tho cracks of tho wall with planter of Paris, and finally put on a wash of a weak solution of carbolic add. The best paste is made out of ryo Hour, wi.h two ounces of glue dissolved in each

3ered

uart of paste half an ounce of powborax improves tho mixture.

THE TOOTHACHE. (Danbury News.)

"When a man gets tho toothaoho it will generally assume its worst form about :i o'clock in tho morning.

He will toss and kick arotind in bed and dig his elbows into his wife's back, and groan in a miserable way until about daybreak.

Then ho will tell his wife to get up artd get something for It. Of course she can't find anything better than pennyroyal tea, which only makes hltn mad, and ho gets up himself, and goes meandering around, and swears, and trauma on the cat's tail, and kicks tho (log off tho front stoop, and probably barks his shin on thecornor of a chair.

Uis wife, who has been to a druggists, now return, and seizing tho "remedy" she has bronght hltn, ho soon has all tlie Inside of his mouth burnt out by his .reckless use of it.

Then he will howl around some mere, and by this time the rest of hie family and his mother-iu law hare got down stairs, and there occurs such a general row that all his neighbors are eagerly looking over his buck-yard feno to see the fun.

Finally, ho gets his head done up in hot poultice* and things, and goes around without speaking to any one for two or three days.

SRSTIMRST FROM M. H. R. (N. Y. cor.St. Louisitepubllcan.) Coming we all rv. and as' 1 looked at the huge threads, splotched here and there with xlor—first a dab of charry. and then an inch of grMn and then a long streak of chocolate that drinded off into grays, that finally merged into black—I thought how like life and its incidents this car pot-weaving is. Out before us stretch tho threads, dark and light. Wo travel through tho sunshine and the shade, taking little heed of the bits of brightness for the shadowy caret that hedge it on either side. Slap-bang goes Ute machinery the shuttle loaded with the stiff linen cord, flies back and fbrth, gathering its surface in regular little loops the tufts mt yarn, and lo! look back and behind that flying shuttle lio clumps of beautiful flowers, gleam birds of beautiful plumage ana fruits of luscious seeming. Where are the dark long stretches of dingy color N called close and lovingly to the flashing fruits and flowers tender shadows that throw into relief the bfeaatie* of tho design.

HEALTH HINTS.

.SURK Cuius ron DIPHTHKRIA.—-lor a grown person take tour drops or sulphuric acid dilated in throe-quarters of a tumbler of water with a amaller dose fbr children. The effect of this treatment was instantaneous, the acids at once destroying the parasites and the patients coughing up the obstruction. The Australia papers navo teemed with accounts of suuerera who had recovered in a few minutes by adopting this treatment. Children, almost previously in a dying state, were declared to be ulaying about within ten minutes, and at a computation some Kjrty or fifty of these sudden recoveries have beeu placed on record with all particulars.

EATINO BKFWHK SUCKPINCI.—It is a common mistake to suppose that eating betore sleep Is injurious. Not at all utifrequently does it happen that people are sleepless for the want ol food, and a little taken either when thev first go to bed, or when they thus awake sleepless will be generally found far more efficacious, and ot course infinitely less injurious,than any drug in the chemist's pharmacopia. Those are the physical remedies for sleeplessness which have the best recommendation. As for the moral ones, there is certainly a good deal more*to be said. Perhaps the most stringent of all rules are "Aroid anxiety," and "Don't go to bed owing anybody a grudge." Chewing the uitter end of a quarrel is a thousand fold mure Injurious to repose than swallowing a whole teaspooniul of the very greenest of green tea.

TAKING COLD.—One jvay is to "bundle up" in mrs, or mufilers tight about the neck take a brisk walk, go into a warm room—church, lecture room, or concert —sit with your things all on, get warir, rspi re freely, breathe vitiated air for an hour or two, and when thoroughly relaxed,- the pores of the skin all open, go out into the oold. damp air, and you will soon begin to shiver. After having a chil send for the doctor, and he will dose vou with something hot, then go to bed, then, if leIt alone long enough, you may get up in a day or two, ana in

a fortnight or so you may repeat the imprudence. There are several other ways to take cold. We will mention but one, and that is to "over-eat." Stuff the stomach with improper food, more than it can digest, and you will soon find yourself "all clogged up" with cold. You will cough or snee7A blow your nose and "wonder how in the world vou took such a cold."—[Science of Health.

SOME EVERY-DA MAXIMS. Moral Courage" was printed in large letters and put as the caption of the following items, and placed in a conspicuous place on the door ot a systematic merchant in New York for constant reference:

FACTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS.

Hedge*' Champion Baking Powder

Will make twenty pounds moro bread from a barrel of flour than can bo done by any other Bakiug Powder.

No time required fer dough to rise, but bake in a hot, quick oven, as soon as mixed. Hedges' Champion saves Eggs, Shortening, Milk, etc.

Tiie efllcacy of its worth, in this respeqt, can be tested by the following delicate cake recipe:

Two coffee cups white sugar and one-half cup butter, one coffee cup cold water, three cups of flour, whites of four eggs, three teaspoons HEDGES' CHAMPION BAKING POWDER, one and a half teaspoonful Hedges' Concentrated extract Vanilla.

COLLEGE CORNERS, Oct. 24,1874.

W. N. HEDGES & Co.,

Gentlemen—You will oblige us by sending immediately Six dozen one fourth pounds, Four dozen one-half pounds, Two dozen one pound of your Champion Baking Powders. Also send us one hundred or so more of your Receipt and Reference Books. We find they add greatly as an assistant in selling your goods. Those that you sent with order of Sept. 3rd increased the sale of your powder one-half more rapidly than ever befoie. We think from present indications you will have almost, if not quito the entire trade of the place. We find tho quality of your goods better than any wo have ever handled. Rcspeetfully,

CINCINNATI, O., NOV. 20,1874.

MESSRS. W. N. HEDGES fc Co., Gentlemen—Through your agents, Messrs. II. L. Stiles A Co., we were persuaded to try your Champion Baking Powder, and having been using it for some months past we can cheerfully recommend it as being of superior quality. Our cook pronounces it to be more economical in use than others used by us. and we have used many of the so-called best brands.

Wo find after an impartial trial that the Champion excels, oonsequently would adviso all persons wanting Baking Powder that is ftillyuptothe standard not only in quality, but in uantity, to try 'ng Powder.

Hedges' Champion Respectfully, HUNT A CLARK.

We are constantly receiving letters pralsiug Hedges' Champion Baking Powder:

W. N. HEDGES A Co., Gentlemen—A month or so ago I was in Springfield visiting a friend, and noticing the wonderful success she bad in baking, led me to inquire into her mode of baking. She seemed to think one reason sho succeeded so well was because she usod your Champion Baking Powder, and in addTtion to this, she lauded it so highly that since I came home I havo been trying to persuade one of oar grocery mon to sena and get some, but as yet have not succeeded. Please send one pound to my address, and if you have any Receipt Books oblige me bv enclosing one of them as I want to follow your directions closely when baking. Respectfully,
