"Worth Knowing. — One pound of green copperas 

 (cost seven cents) dissolved in one quart of water and pour- 

 ed down a privy, will effectually concentrate and dhatroy 

 the foulest smells. For water-closets on board ships and 

 steamboats, about hotels and other places, there is nothing 

 80 nice to cleanse and purity those places, as simple green 

 copperas, dissolved ; and for sick rooms, it may be placed 

 under the bed in any thing which will hold water, and thus 

 render a hospital or other places for the sick, free from un- 

 pleasant smells. For butchers' stalls, fish markets, slaugh- 

 ter houses, sinks, and wherever there are putrid and offen- 

 sive gases, dissolve copperas and sprinkle it about, and in 

 a few days the " bad smell" will pass away. If a cat, rat 

 or mouse dies about the house and sends forth an offensive 

 gas, place some dissolved copperas in a cup or jar, any- 

 where within "smelling distance," and the cure is sure. I 

 have known a stock of dry goods which were nearly spoil- 

 ed by a " skunk *' under a store, to be cleaned and restored 

 simply by sprinkling dissolved copperas about the floor. —

Cure for Wasp Stings,— Some unfortunate, last year, 

 while picking peaches, was stung in the finger by a yellow 

 wasp. The wound caused effusion of blood, and inflamed 

 the arm to the shoulder. Saleratus, made into a paste with 

 water, was soon applied as a poultice, and in half an hour 

 had so neutralized the acid poison, that the swelling had 

 entirely gone down, and nothing remained but the soreness 

 occasioned by the puncture. This application has proved 

 better than liquid ammonia, so far as a limited trial has 

 proved, and is probably the best remedy for stings gener- 

 ally. It is important that the nearest alkaline substance 

 at hand should be applied till a better can be found, wheth- 

 er it be ammonia, or even paste of fresh ashes. In the ab- 

 sence of all these, a mud poultice is an excellent remedy.
