Improves Food. 
Every article of food treated by “Rex Mag¬ 
nus,” remains perfectly sweet, natural in fla¬ 
vor. lipens, and indeed is enhanced in value by 
the effects of this king of preservative agents. 
It is Tasteless and Harmless. 
Banquets in New Haven, Ct., Boston. Max?., 
and Chicago, HI., have been held, at which 
food, treated and saved as Prof. Johnson 
treated his articles of food, were served. 
These public demonstrations of the wonderful 
effects of this preparation were uniformly ap¬ 
plauded by the invited and attendant guests— 
and they came from every branch and walk of 
domestic and private life, and embraced men 
of national ana international fame. 
Wins Applause. 
The press of the country applaud the results; 
the people at large, both in this and every oth¬ 
er country, need “Rex Magnus," and. better 
struck with the quotation for this particular 
week: 
“Thou cftllest mine own *a narrow spot’, 
And I'rottost, hut hast thou forgot 
That far ami far this earth Is spread, 
The one sky stretching overhead, 
One earth, one sky, one common air, 
One household 'neaf.h one father’s care.” 
Among my letters were some from Ru¬ 
ral subscribers, casting a doubt on the 
“moonlight” view of Every-day House. I 
must first say that the “powers that be” in the 
Rural Office did not consult me when they 
published the picture, and to me it was a gen¬ 
uine surprise. But if auy reader comes to see 
me, aud chooses a time when the moon is full, 
the flower beds aud trees and the south end of 
the house will look exactly as in the picture, 
the barn and all out-buildings being on the 
north side. Perhaps the artist had in view 
Sir Walter Scott’s lines, 
“Ho who would see fair Melrose right 
Go visit it by pale moonlight.” 
Come ami see us, doubting readers, we are not 
so “shadowy” as we seem, and “Naboth" is at 
this momeut tying up the twelve-year-old 
grape vines that still bear fruit—iu the market 
basket, as well as on paper. While absent 
many new recipes come to hand, a few of 
which I will transcribe for the benefit of 
readers. One was camphor ice for chapped 
hands: simply two ounces of gum camphor to 
one pound of mutton tallow—melt and beat 
together and run into a mold, A friend, 
whose silver seemed always freshly cleaned, 
told me she scraped white chalk to a flue 
powder and wot it to a cream with ammonia; 
dip a soft cloth iu the mixture: lot it dry on a 
momeut aud polish with chamois. I was en¬ 
trusted with a bottle of liuiment for rheuma¬ 
tism to carry to an invalid aud found it was 
made as follows: Two eggs, well Iteateu, and 
mixed carefully with half a pint of vinegar, 
half a gill of ammonia, a gill of turpentine 
and one ounce of guin guaiacum. It is a valu¬ 
able remedy in chronic rheumatism. I found 
almost every frieud I visited had her own 
ideas of domestic economy, and particularly 
of the different methods of cooking, no two 
seeming to think alike, but it was a pleasure to 
hear each one’s opinion on this important 
topic, aud I may be able to give now and then 
glimpses of other minds aud methods than 
my own. 
Talking with “Emily Maple” on these sul> 
jects, I was enchanted with the earnestness of 
her manner in regard to the work of the Ru¬ 
ral, aud it seemed to me no paper could fail 
to succeed if the whole household entered 
into it with one heart and mind, I hope it 
will not be considered ■’telling tales out of 
school" if I record my admiration of the Ru¬ 
ral editor as ho trundled a barrow ami 
planted potatoes in that enchanted ground. 
Its work and experience arc no myth aud the 
pretty home looks well either by moon or 
day-light. I call that man, or woman either, a 
martyr who gives uptime and money for the 
sake of experiments for the good of others, 
and such tathe Rural work. What a plea¬ 
sure it is to see the treasures we covered in 
Autumn return to us in Spring. I aniglad to 
be able to state that- strawberries are showing 
a fair promise, no frost having injured them. 
I looked with misgivings at my new Rose', 
Barones; Rothschild, for which I had paid 
Peter Henderson $1.50 last Spring. But it is 
alive to the tip, und 1 do not repine; the hy¬ 
brids are not all hardy here and 1 ntu glud to 
add to the list, aud its flowers are indeed the 
very pinkest satin I ever saw. Only w here 
the snow has been too deep, have the plants 
suffered the fate of Dosdemona, to which 
some Daisies and Hollyhocks have fallen vic¬ 
tim. Well, one must be contented; thif days 
are fine and we can labor and wait, and so 
long as faith remains wo can go on w ith brave 
hearts, knowing that the fruition will come.

Rex Magnus is a perfect food preservative, 
and the omy one ever discovered b v man which 
embodies at the same time liealthfiilue-s, cheap¬ 
ness, certainty of results, and general adapta¬

preservative is, as its name signifies, a mighty 
King, a royal preservative, au invincible con¬ 
queror. 
The Discoverer—A Benefactor. 
This field has long deutauiled a combination 
and unifying, blending and happy harmoniz¬ 
ing of elements, agencies and forces which has 
been heretofore nuubtaiued. Men have sought 
for it, iu all ages, and in all countries—aud 
they have uniformly failed. Prof. K. F. 
llumistou was somewhat like Morse, Franklin, 
Fulton and others in their i espertdve fields, 
the mun, and the until one, whu was destined 
to wear the proud title of discoverer of this 
preparation and of a benefactor of his race.

The Professor’s report, dated March 7, ’83, 
says: 
“My testa of 35 days ou meats. &c., liought

satisfied that the different brands of Rex 
Magnus. The liumistou Food Preservative, 
with which i have experimented, hare ac¬ 
complished all claimed for them. So far as 
1 have yet. learned, they are the only prepara¬ 
tions that ore effective, and at the some time 
practicable, for domestic use. At the banquet 
on ’treated’ meats at the New Haven House 
lcould not distinguish between those which had 
been sixteen days in my laboratory and 
those neirly taken from the refrigerator of 
the hotel. The oysters were perfectly palatable 
aud fresh to my taste, aud better, as it hap¬ 
pened, than those served at the same time, 
which were recently taken from the shell. 
The roast beef, steak, chicken, turkey and 
quail, were all as goad as / hare ever eaten.'' 
Rex Magnus is safe, tasteless, pure, aud 
Professor Johnson adds in his report, “I 
should anticipate no ill results from its use 
aud consider it less harm fid than common 
soil." 
Thousands of equally conclusive experi¬ 
ments in all parts of the country have brought 
the same good results.
