Ammonia.
Ammonia, commonly known m
spirits of hartshorn, is invaluablo for
(iomwtio puriioncs, nnd w almost a
household necessity. It is a powerful
alkali and dumolvo.H groaso and dirt witli
great easr. It is nearly at useful as
soap and its cheapness brings it within
tho reach of all
Greiioo stiota may bo removed from
almost any fabric, by sponging them
witli ammonia weakened with a little
wator. When dish towels have bo
como Hoiled and discolored, boiling thorn
in water in which some ammonia has
been inured, will do map h to rcitoro
thorn to their origins! color. When tho
busy days of Iiouho cleaning como around
ammonia will bo found a gtcat holp.
For cleaning paint and woodwork put a
teaspoonful into a quart of warm suds,
dip 11 80ft cloth in it and go over your
woodwork and boo how quickly tho dirt
will disappear; wry littlo scriibliing is
necessary and no injury will bo done to
tho paint nnd lunula Tho samo propor
tion of suds mid nmmonia is good for
cloaning marblo slabs and iiumtlos. For
washing windows, mirrors and glass
witro, it has no ciiual. It will cIooiiko
and brighten HiW.uwaro beautifully;
wash in warm Nuds and ummonii, wipo
(Iry and polish with a chamois skin.
It is nlso a great stimulant to plantft.
For houso plants, fivo or six drops to
ovory pint of water, nnd appliod about
onco a wook, will cattw them to llouriuli,
and givo thom a vigor not to bo obtained
in any othor way. A few drops iu tho
water in which cut flowont aro to bo
placed, will rostoro them if boginning (o
wilt.
Ammonia has also oxcollont medici
nal qualitieH, and ban tho advantage of
boing familiar to most porsoHS, cheap and
easy to obtain, ifoadacho Bometitncs
may be rolievnd by its use. Care must
bo taken if it is npplioJ to tho face, for
if tho ammonia is very strong it will
blister and burn tho skin. For tho sting
or bito of insects, apply it, nnd it will
lx found to neutntluo the poison. It is
said that instantaneous relief from tooth
ache may bo obtuinod by saturating a
bit of cotton with nmmonia and apply
ing it to tho ndected tooth.
For toilet purposes nmmonia is equally
useful, ttnd no lady who has onco recog
nized its merits will want to bo without
it. A person who has nn oily, shiny
I'timpliixmn owes it to mi unusual uecro
tion of fatty matter by tho skin; soap
fail to remove it, and it U altogether
better to u.-o n littlo nmmoni.i in tliu

of this is, that ammonia being an ullcali,
unites with tho minute globules of fat to
form xomi, nnd thus tliu faco is cleansed

King Frederick of Prussia, when ho
was out riding 0110 day, paw an old
farmer who was ploughing his u'cld and
singing cheerfully over hw work. "You
must bo well ofl', old man'" cried tho
king. "Docs this asm belong to you
ou which you bo industriously laborl"
"No, sir," replied thn man, who of
course lintl no idea ho was speaking to
tho king; "I am not so rich as that; I
plough for wages."
"How much do you cam each dayl
asked tho king.
"Eight groschen," returned tho man.
That would bo about twenty cents of our
money.
"That is very little," said tho king;
"can you get nlong with that!"
"Get nlong I yes, indeed, and havo
o matliing left over."
"How do you managol"
"Well," said the farmer smiling, "I
tell you. Two groschen nro for myself
and wifo; with two 1 pay my debts, and
two I give away for tho Lord's sake."
"J.111S is 11 mystery winuu 1 i-muiui

"Then I must solve it for you," said
tho farmor. "I havo two old parents at
homo, who kept and cured for mo whon
I was young uud weak, nnd needed caro.
Now thnt thoy nro old and weak, I ant
glad to keep and caro for them. This is
my debt, nnd it takes two groBohon a day
to pay it. Two moro I spond on my
childron'n schooling. If thoy aro living
when thoir mother and I aro old, they
will kcop us and pay back what I lend.
Tlion with my last two gro'.chen I sup
port my two sick sisters who cannot sup
port themselves. Of courso I am not
compelled to givo them tho roonoy, but I
do it for tho Lord's sake."
"Well dono, my man," criod tho king,
ns ho finished ; "now I am going to give
you something to guess. Havo you over
scull Die before!"
"No," said tho farmer.
"Iu less than fivo minutes you shall
seo mo fifty times, fond carry in your
pocket fifty of my likenesses."
"IliU is indeed n riddlo which I can
not solve," said tho farmor.
"Then I will solvo it for you," said tho
king; nnd with that ho put his hand
into liM pocket nnd pulling out fifty gold
pieces, placed them in tho hand of the
farmer.
"l'ho coin is genuine," said tho king;
"tor it comes from our Lord God, aud I

At the Louisville Exposition.
Last night, says tho Courier-Journal,
a young man took hia sweetheart to tho
exposition, with a cold-blooded determi
nation. He showed her the dog show.
"This," said he, "is one of tho best
things in tho show."
Ho conducted her to tho place where
the beautiful Borneo Apollos hold
forth.
'This,"-said he, "is. opo. of the sights
hoit which is very interesting."
He then explained tho two great en
gines scon in tho industrial part of thn
building.
Ho showed hor tho art gallery and
that pretty picturo iu tho press room
which is callod, "Farewell to tho Forest,"
and which ovny lady who sees it wishes
to carry ofT.
"This picture," he explained, "o.t
hibits a gem of female loveliness, and
few things could bo prettier. Tho great
est attiaction I havo reserved for tho last.
It is by far the most uniiiuo thing in tho
building." Tho young lady bccimo very
much interested us ho led her upstairs
and expatiated on tho objects of tho un
known object.
Soon they stood before tho largo mir
ror; ho p'tuscd and so did she. Then,
with a cold-blooded explsnatiou worthy
of a bettor fnuse, ho pointed into the
mirror at tho joung lady's rellection,
and said, "That, I thinV, N thn boss at
traction in tho exposition."
"It is strange," she murmured, among
her blushes, "that ouo gluts mirror
should bo both tho greatest nnd loa.it at
traction at tho samo time."
The Good Husband,
"Nothing," said a sweet, smilint;, joy-
ftd woman in a domestic circle, "add
no much to my happiness us a kind
word, a kind look, or a kind act from
my husband. Oh, how charming, after
a hard day's toil at the wash tub, or in
cooking over a hot fire for the harrest
hands, or in tho discharge of any other
domestic duty, or after a Bloepless night
with a sick babe, is a kind word, or a
smilo ovon, from the husband and
fathor."
Husbands, if you see defects, or
things that you wish wero not so, in
your wives, try kindness and sto if that
won't do them more good than all the
unkind words and cross looks you over
gave them,
"I often think," continued this happy
wife, "I have tho best husband in tbo
world. Ho is good and kind to me in
sickness und in health, in joy and in sor
row. Wo aro happier than when wo
were married, nearly twenty years ago.
Ho never scolds me, uor brings a long
cataloguo of complaints against me, but
comes in from his daily labor in a good
humor, v. ith a smilo on his lips, and
says: Now, Susanna, you have dono
enough to-day, put up your work.' Then
ho seizes littlo Nancy, and we sit down
side by side, and chat in the cool even
ing breete." What woman in tho"
world wculd not make such a husband a
good wife 1
