To CLEANSE TIE INSIDE OF JARs.-There
is frequently some trouble in cleansing the
inside of jars that have had swectmeats or
other articles put in them for keeping, and
that, when empty, were wanted for future
use. This can be done in few minutes
without scraping or soaking, by filling up the
jars witt, hot water, Git need not be scalding
hot,) and then stirring IN tcaspoonful or
more of pcarlash. Whatever of the former
contents has remained sticking upon the
sides and bottom of the jar, will Immediately
be seen to disengage itself, and float loose
through the water. Then empty the jar at
once, and if any of the former odor remains
about it, fill it again with warm water and
let it stand undisturbel for few hours, or
till next day; then empty it again, and rinse
it out with cold water. Wash phials in the
same manner. Also the inside of kettles,
or anything which you wish opurify or clear
from grease expeditiously and completely.
If you cannot conveniently obtain pearlash,
tile same purpose may be answered nearly
as well by filling the vessel with strong ley,
poured off clear from the wood ashes. For
kegs, buckets, crooks Or other vessels, ley
may be always used.

TIE MAN WHO NEVER HAS AayrnING OF
Hrs OwN.-Of course you have encountered
this pest. He borrows your pen knife, your
razor, your writing utensils, your umbrella,
your newspapers and what you lend him
goes, as rule, to that bourne from which
no traveller returns. Not that he is dishon-
est lie considers himself sort of pensoner
on the world at large for minor conven
fences, and has no idea that their restoration
is expected. As he is usually good naturcd
fellow, who would give you anything he had
if he had anything to give, you don like to
snub him; and so he passes through life in
his shftlcss, careless way, unconscious of
lis dcmegits-a tolerated nuisance. Will,
ingly would you raise subscription, heading
the list of doners yourself, to furnish him
with all he borrows. But it would be use
less. There is no tcnacity in his slipshod
nature. Whatever you might give him would
slip through his fingers. Besides, your pro-
tessional borrower of small chattles prefers
"A loan to gif So far ~ your personal
comfort is concerned it is best to meet his
application for loans with an emphatic
''No." He is not pcrtinacious. A few re-
Bluffs will suffice. He knows we'll enough
that you won't supply the article he wants
somebody else will. If You are "mcan,"
there are others who are generous.

Look Out for The Stamps.

People who give receipts for money paid,
and everybody does it, should make a note
of the result Of trial which took place in
New York the other day, and which shows
how perilous thing neglect to put stamps
upon papers which require them may be-
come Many persons have fallen into the
errors of supposipg that if a paper is not
stamped the omission may be rectilied at any
time at very little expense. This is not cor
rect. There was provision made for validat-
ing unstampcd papers, made and issued
before the passage of the act of 1864 upon
compliance with certain provisions. Similar
provision is made in the amended act of
1865, upon condition that the party derelict
shall pay $50, and interest," at six per cent,
on the stamp, if the cost of the latter is
more than $50. but in addition to this
there is an actual penalty, which may be
enforced against any one who issues un-
stamped paper. Under the act of 1864 it
was 5000 in all cases. Under the amended
act of 1865 it remains $500 upon acceptors
and payers Of foreign bills of exchange with
out first stamping the securities. In this
case, in New York, the party sued had ne
elected, before the passage Of the amended
act Of 1865, to affix stamps upon seven re.
ceipts for the payment of money. He was
sued for the full penalty in each case,
amounting to S1400 in all, aud verdict was
given against him for the whole sum. The
stamps would have cost fourteen cents, so
that by his saving habits on the occasion
referred to, he is Sl,3o9.s6 out of pocket,
besides lawyers fees and costs of suit. The
example is worthy Of remembrance. There
are no duties which dcvolve upon citizen
that can be as cheaply discharged as those
of the stamp law, and few which, if neglect,
ed, may cost careless person more dearly.
