ADVICE TO “CHARITY.” 
When “Charity Sweetheart” studies histo¬ 
ry, she will And that every nation was flrst 
barbaric. Emerging from this state by slow 
degrees, it grew iuto a strong civilization; 
then became wealthy, cultured, refined, luxu¬ 
rious; then weak anti wicked; then hastened 
to its downfall. The Creeks were an example 
of this. Prom being renowned for their hr»v- 
QUESTIONS ANSWERED 
GREASE UPON a CARPET. 
How can kerosene be removed from an all- 
wool ingrain carpet? The spots have been 
washed out at different times, but they reap¬ 
pear in a few days. L. w. dcp. 
Ans.—T ry dry Fuller’s earth upon the spots, 
or wash them thoroughly with tepid water, to 
which has been added a spoonful of aqua am¬ 
monia. We know of nothing better. Crease 
spots are apt to reappear, whatsoever the treat¬ 
ment, but we thought kerosene too volatile to 
act in that way. Are you sure that it is kero¬ 
sene !

cline. Rome imitating Athens, ran the same 
course, aud I might multiply illustrations. It 
is uot only the history of natious but of indi¬ 
viduals that wealth, luxury, intellectual cul¬ 
ture even, carried to excess, degenerate into 
weakness. There havo been and are learned 
people in literature uud the arts who aro of 
vile moral character. Are uot wealth and re¬ 
finement the dangers of to-day? We desire to 
be beautifully clothed aud deliciously fed; 
eye and oar must not be offended by sights not 
to our taste aud by unrefined sounds; 
wu shrink from all hardship, our whole lines 
must be attuned to delicate living. The reap¬ 
ing of this sowing will surely be selfishness 
aud weakness of character. Extreme poverty, 
ignorance, boorish ness, arc equally evil. Can 
there not be a happy mean between the two 
extremes, aud may not the farm be where 
such u condition of things would best thrive? 
It is true there are many wrongs in farm life; 
but reform always moves slowly, and there is 
a joy in overcoming obstacles, in accomplish¬ 
ing objects by great exertion.

she hns no mother. She has a good father. I 
am sure. She has a fine mind, aud cun say

LAMP CHIMNEYS.—LEAVING THE TABLE. 
1. Does washiug lamp chimneys make them 
more liable to break? 2. When a meal is over, 
who should make the first movement towards 
leaving the table—the lady of the house or her 
guests? M . H 
Ans.— 1. No; not if the waterisot the same 
temperature as the glass. It is the sudden 
and unequal expansion and contraction of the 
glass that does the mischief. Iu washing, a 
tiny crack may be started, too small to be 
noticed, but which becomes damaging in ex¬ 
tent when the lamp is lighted. 2. The hostess 
should continue to eat, or at least make u pre¬ 
tense of eating, as long as any of her guests.

BRINE FOR CUCUMBERS. 
For pickling cucumbers iu brine, how much 
salt should lie used for a barrel; or how strong 
should the brine be made, and whut can be 
added to harden the pickles? subscriber. 
Ans,—S alt should be added to the water 
until it becomes saturated—that is, until it 
will not take up auy more salt. A small piece 
of alum dissolved in the water used for fresh¬ 
ening the cucumbers before they ure put into 
vinegar, will help to harden them. 
FOR AN ABSCESS. 
Persous suffering from abscesses will find 
great relief from applying poultices of bran 
mixed with hot water. Change as soon as 
they get cool. This will also hasten the swell¬ 
ing to a focus. M . A. F.
