Discount and Premium.
When a person buys an article for $1.00- 50 per cent off. (or discount.) and sells it again for $1,00, he makes a profit of 25 per cent. on bis inves ment. Thus: He pays So cents and sells for $1,00-a gain of 20 cents, or 25 per cent of 80 cente. And for any transaction where the sale or purchase of gold, silver. or currency is concerned, the following rules will apply in all cases.
RULE 1st .- To And premium when dis- count is given : Multiply 100 by rate of discount and divide by 100, less rate of dis- connt.
RULE 2d .- To and discount when pre- mium is given. Multiply the rate of interest by 100, and divide by 100, plus the rate of pretulum.
Suppose A has $110 in currency, which he wishes to exchange for gold, when gold is 27 per cent. premium, how much gold shonla ho receive? In this case the pre- minm is given, consequently we must find the discount on A's corroney and subtract it from the 8140, as per rule 20, showing the discount to be a fride more than 21 per cent. and that he should receive $110.60 in void.

Facts on Advertising.
The advertisements in an ordinary num- ber of the London Filles exceed 2.500, The annual advertising bit of one London firm are said to amount to getwow; and three others are mentioned who cach annually expend for the merpore $50.000. The ex- pense for advertising the eight editions of the " Eneyelopredis Britannia" is said to have been $15,000.
Iu large cities nothing is more common than to see large business establishment-, which seem to have an immense advantage over all competitors, by the wealth, exp.u. ricuce, and prestigo they have acquired. drop gradually out of public view, and b. succeeded by firms of a smaller capital, more energy, and more determined to have the feet that they sell such and such com- modities known from one end of the land io the other. In other words, the establish- ments advertise ; the old die of dignity .- The former are ravenous to pass out of oh. scurity into publicity; the latter believe that their publicity is so obvious that it cannot be obscured. The first understand that they must ibrnet themselves upon public attention, or be disregarded; the second. having once obtained public atten- tion, suppose they have arrested it perm :- nently; while, in fect, nothing is more char- acteristic of the world than the ease with which it forgets.
Stephen Girard, than whom no shrewder business man ever lived, used to say: I have always considered advertising liber- ally and long to be the great medium of success in business, and the prelude to wealth. And I have made it an Invariable rule too, to advertise in the dullest times as well as the busiest ; lon; experience having taught me that money thus spent is well laid out; as by keeping my business continually before the public it has secured Ine tonny sales that I would otherwise have lost.

Brilliant Whitewashi.
Many have heard of the brilliant stucco wwwwash on the east end of the Presi- 1. o!'s house at Washington. The follow- : 54 a recipe for it; itis gleaned from the National Intelligencer, with some addi- wwwpal improvements learned by experi- r.rat : Take half a bushel of nice un- r i 'k. d lime, slaek it with boiling water, www.r it during the process to keep in the wohl. Strain the liquid through a fine "i"ve or strainer, and add to it & peck off rok, previously well dissolved in warm w&- ter : three pounds of ground rice, boiled to" a Din paste, and stirred in boiling hoe ; half " aband of powdered Spanish whiting, and & povindl of clean glue, which has been pre- who:ly dissolved by soaking it well, and fon hanging it over a slow fire, in a small Hotel : within a large one filled with water. Ald five gallons of hot water to the mixture. rtir ir well, and let it stand a few days cov- vred from the dirt.
It should be put on right hot : for this purpose ir can be kept in a kettle on a portable furnace. It is said that about a flut of this mixture will cover & square varl upon the outside of a house if proper- applied, Brushes more or less small may we need according to the bestness of the job repured. It answers as well as off paint for wood, brick or stone, and is cheaper. It retains its brilliancy for many years. There is nothing of the kind that will compare with it, either for inside or outside
Coloring matter may be put in and made of any -hade you like. Spanish brown whyred in will make red pink, more or less deap according to the quantity. A delleate tinge of this is very pretty, for inside walls. Fhody pulverized common clay, well mixed w.h Spanish brown, makes a reddish stone color. Yellow-ochre'stirred in makes yel- low wash, but chroine goce further, and makes a color generally esteemed prettier. In all these cases the darkness of the shades of course is determined by the quantity of coloring used. It is difficult to make rules, because tastes are different. It would bez hest to try experiments on a shingle and let it dry. We have been told that green faust to: be mixed with lime. The lime de- -troys the color, and the color bas an effect on the whitewash, which makes it crack andI peel. When walls have been badly . pokud. and you wish to have them a clean white, it is well to anneoze indigo plenti- fifly through a bag into the water you uie. b fore ir is stirred in the whole mixture. If a larger quantity than five gallons be wanted, the same proportion should be ob- Served.
Howto get a Horse out of a Fire.
The great difficulty of getting horzes from a viable where surrounding buildings are in A state of confugation, is well known .-- The plan of covering their eyes with a blan- Kat will not always suerred.
A cettleman whose horses have been in Freat peril from such a cause, having tried
in vain to save them, hit upon the expedi- ent of having them harnessed as though go- ing to their usual work: when. to his aston- ishment. they were led from the stable without difficulty.
The Chemical Barometer.
Take a long narrow bottle, such as an old- fashioned Lan-de-Cologne bottle, and put into it two and a half drachme of camphor, and eleven drachms of spirits of wine ; when the camphor is dissolved, which it will readily do by slight agitation, add the following mixture: Take water, nine drachms; nitrate of potash (saltpetre) thirty-eight grains; and muriate of am- monia (sal ammoniac) thirty-eight grains. Dissolve these salte in the water prior to mixing with the camphorated spirit; then shake the whole well together. Cork the bottle well, and was the top, but after- wards make a very small aperture in the cork with a red-hot needle. The bottle may then be hung up, or placed in any stationa- ry position. By observing the different appearances which the materials assume, as the weather changes, it becomes an ex- cellent prognosticator of a coming storm or of a sunny sky.
Leech Barometer.
'Take an eight ounce phial, and put in it three gills of water, and place in it a healthy leech, changing the water in summer once a week. and in winter once in a fortnight. and it will most accurately prognosticate the wenther. If the weather is to be fine, the liech lies motionless at the bottom of the glace and coiled together in a spiral forma : if rain may be expected, it will creep up to the top of its lodgings and remain there til the weather is settled; if we are to have wind. it will move through its Labi- tation with amazing swiftness, and seldom goes to rest till it begins to blow hard : if a remarkable storm of thunder and rain is to suceved. it will lodge for some days before simost continually out of the water, and discover great uneasiness in violent throes and couvalsive-like motions ; in frost as in clear sumner-like weather it lies constantly at the bottom; and in snow as in rainy weather it pitches its dwelling in the very month of the phial. The top should be cov- ered over with a piece of muslin,
To MEASURE GRAIN IN A BIN .-- Find the number of cubic feet, from which deduct Que-disk. The remainder is the number of ousbels-allowing, however, one bushel extra to every 224. Thus in a remainder of :21 there would be 225 bushels, In a re- misinder of 445 there would be 450 bushels.

How to Judge a Horse.
A correspondent, contrary to old maxims, undertakes to judge the character of a horse by outward appearances, and offers the fol- lowing suggestions, the result of his close observation and long experience :
If the color be light sorrell, or chestnut. his feet, legs and face white, these are mark, of kindness. If he is broad and full between the eyes, he may be depended on ar a borse of good seuse, and capable of be- ing trained to anything.
As respecte auch horses, the more kindly you treat thera the better you will be treat- ed in return. Nor will a horse of this de- scription stand a whip, if well fed.
If you want a safe horse, avoid one that is dish-faced. He may bo eo for gentle as hot to seare ; but he will have too much go- ahead in him to be safe with everybody.
Ifyou want a fool, but a horse of great bottmin, get a deep bay, with not a white hair about him. If his face is s little dish- ed, so much the worse. Let no man ride ruch a horse that is not an adept in riding -- they are always tricky and unssfe.
If you want one that will never give out, never buy a large, overgrown one.
A black horse cannot stand heat, nor a white one coldl.
If you want a gentle horse, get one with more or less white about the head; the more the better. Many persons suppose the parti-colored horses belonging to the circuses, shows, &c., are selected for their oddity, But the selections thus made are on account of their great docility and gen- tieness.

Mosquitos, -- To get rid of these tormen- tory, take a few hot coale on a shovel, or a chaing dish, and burn upon them some brown sugar in your bed-rooms and parlors, and you effectually banish or destroy every mosquito for the night.
CHEAP OUTSIDE PAINT .-- Take two parts (in bulk) of water lime ground fine, one part (in buik) of white lead ground in oil. Mix them thoroughly, by adding best boiled lin- seed oil, enough to prepare it to pass through a point mill, after which temper with oil till it can be applied with a common paint brush.
