Waste Paper for Household Usos.

Few housekeepers have time to
h!@cken their stoves every day, or
even every week. Many wash them
in either clean water or dish-water.
This keeps them clean, but they
look very brown. After stove has
been blackcned, it can be kept look
ing very well for a long time by
rubbing it with paper every morn
ing. If l occasionally find a drop
of gravy or fruit juice that the paper
will not take off, | rub it with wet
cloth, but do not put on water
enough to take off the backing. ]
find that rubbing with paper is a
much nicer way of keeping the out
side of my tea-kettle, cotiee-pot and
teapot bright and clean, than ,he
old way Of washing them in suds.
The inside of the coffee-pots and
tea-pots should be rinsed in clear
water, and never in the dishwater.
Rubbing with dry paper is also the
best way Of polishing knives and
tinware after securing. This saves
wetting the knife handles. Ii q
little flour be held on the paper in
rubbing tinware and spoons, they
shine like new silver. For polish
ing windows, mirrors, lamp-chim-
neys, etc, | always use paper in
preference to any dry cloth. Pre-
serves and pickles keep much better
if brown paper, instead of cloth, is
tied over the jar. Canned fruit is
not SO apt to mold if a piece of
writing-paper, cut to fit the can, is
laid directly on the top of the fruit.
Paper is much better to put under
a carpet than straw. 1t is warmer,
thinner, and makes less noise when
one walks over it. A fair carpet
can be made for a room not in con-
slant use, by FASTING several thick
nesscs of newspaper on the floor,
over that coat Of wallpaper, and
giving it coat of varnish. In cold
weather l have otter placed paper
between my bed-quilts, knowing
that two thicknesses Of paper are as
warm as quilt. If it is necessary
to step on chair, always lay pa
per on it; this saves rubbing the
varnish. Children easily learn the
habit Of doing so.-We 7echmoio-

A Cheap and Substantial Cistern.

No one having had a cistern, even
a short time, will be willing to do
without one. When it is known, too,
what small amount of money and
labor is required to make one, the
provident farmer will no longer
permit his family to waste time and
strength to insure cleanliness in the
kitchen, from not having access to
an abundant supply Of pure, soft
water. By reason of having com
parative leisure, and the ground be-
ing free from water, the fall Of the
year is the best time for the per-
Torrance of this work.
In the construction of cistern of
ordinary size, commence to dig
about four feet in diameter, and
proceed in perpendicular direc-
ton until firm ground is reached;
then make a jog of about four inches
toward the center, for the wall to
rest upon.
A cistcrn feet in depth and 6
in diameter in the widest point
made exactly in the shape Of an egg
with the large end down-is sutfi-
cient for family of ordinary size.
The shape is important for the
strength of its wall. TO procure
the above shape, the use of grub
bling hoe, or other like tool, is quite
necessary. Brickbats are better
than whole bricks for arching up
with. Lay in cement, by commence
ing on the jog left in digging for
that purpose, placing the bats level
with the surface below, and draw
ing in gradually all round, leaving
an aperture sufficient to allow the
workmen to get inside. Fill up
with dirt roamd the outside, to hold
the wall firmly, as the work pro-
crosses. Then it should be run up
in perpendicular manner foot or
two more, to elevate the platform
sufficiently above he surface Of the
ground. A square frame Of timber

Can't Agree.

Notwithstanding all the hopes Of
victory and plunder in 1872, the
Democrats of the country don't seem
to agree together among themselves
worth cent just now. Valandig-
ham, the great Clement l.. Of savory
memory, came out few days ago
with "New Departure" Platform,
announcing several Republican doe
trines-such as the binding force Of
the last three Constitutional Amend
ments, the burial of slavery and
political inequality, &c. He managed
to get it adopted by a County Demo
cratic Convention at Dayton, Ohio;
and he will PROFOUND it to the Ohio
state Democratic Convention at
Columbus today; but the general
expressions Of the Democratic press,
SO far as seen, don't endorse the thing
very much. Some of these papers,
however, side with Valandigha:n;
and one of them, the Philadelphia
Day, makes some personal remarks
as follows:
"Robert Toombs, the bucolic gen.
tleman who earned Generals COM

within the range Of bullets, Is out In

cannot help thinking that had Gen.
Toombs fought as bravely as Long.
street, he would to-day be willing to
accept the Constitution as it IL, and
bow to the inevitable"
Meantime another distinguished
ex Confederate, who did not "risk
his precious person within range Of
bullets,n namely JEFF Davis, made
a trip to Augusta, Georgia, last Fri
day, and was met by crowd, and
serenaded. In his response he put
on a good deal of the touching
Southern style, and remarked that
he ibid not conceive that the princi-
Piles Of the Lost Cause were dead. OF

The insurrection in Paris has been
ended in fire and blood. The dis
patches TEEN with horrors. The
insurgents acted like insane devils.
They poured petroleum upon build
ings and then set them on fire. In
this way, and by the cannonading,
it is said that one-fourth of Paris has
been destroyed. The Government
troops fully and finally occupied the
city last Saturday evening. The
insurgents had shot many prominent
citizens; and the Versaillists, consid-
e-ing the insurgents merely as crim-
inals, have executed numbers of
them. 1t is calculated that there are
80, 900 dead bodies in the houses and
cellars of Paris, many of them those
of women and citizens. The whole
story is one Of horrors almost in-
credible.
The shaft of a coal mine near
Pittston, Pa, caught fire last Satur-
