Waste Paper.

Few housckeepcrs have time to blacken
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 blackencd, it can be kept looking very
well for long time by rubbing it with
paper every morning. IT occasionally
find drop of gravy or fruit juice that the
paper will not take off, I rub it with u wet
cloth, but do not put on water enough to
take off the backing. fnd that rubbing
with paper is much nicer way of keeping
the outside of my tcakcttle, coffee pot, and
teapot bright and clean, than the old way
of washing them in suds. The inside of
coffee pots and tea pots should be rinsed in
clear water, and never in dish-water.
Rubbing with dry paper is also the best
way of polishing knives and tinware after
securing This saves wetting the knife
handles. IF little flour bc held on the
paper in rubbing tinware and spoons, they
shine like new silver. For polishing win
dows, mirrors, lamp chimueys, etc, al,
ways use paper in preference to any dry
cloth. Preserves aud pickles keep much
better if brown paper, instead of cloth, is
tied over the jar. Canned fruit is not so
apt to mould it piece of writing paper,
cut out to fit the can, is laid directly on
the top of the fruit. Paper is much bet.
ter to put under 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 constant use,
by pas,ing several thcknesses of news.
paper on the floor, over them coat of wall
paper, and giving it a coat Of varnish. In
cold weather have often placed paper
between my bed quilts, knowing that two
thicknesses of paper are as warm as quilt.
IT it is necessary to step on chair, always
lay paper on, it; this saves rubbing the
varnish. Children ccsiy learn the habit
of doing So TchnoIogist.

Open Windows at Night.

Very much has been written on this SUBJ
ject, and written unwisely; the facts are
that whoever sleeps Intentionally cool
will get sick. 10 hoista window sky-high
when the mercury is at zero is an absurdi-
ty. The cooler sleeping apartment is,
the more more unhealthy it becomes, be-
cause cold condenses the carbonic acid
formed by the breathing of the sleeper
II settles near the floor and is rebreathed,
and if In very condensed form, he will
die before the morning. Hence, we must
be governed by circumstances the first
thing is, you must be comfortably warm
during sleep, otherwise you are not re.
freshed, aud Inflammation of the lungs
may be produced, and life destroyed within
o few days. An open door aud an open
fire. place are sufficient for all ordinary pur-
poses in cold weather. When outer win
dows are opened, it is we'll to have them
down at the top two or three inches, and
up at the bottom for the same space. In
miasmatic locations-and these are along
water courses, beside mill ponds, fiat lands,
aud the likc-it is important, from the
first of August until several severe frosts
have been noticed, to sleep with all exter-
nal doors and windows closed, because the
cool air Of sunset causes the condensation
of the emanatons which were caused by
the heat of the MONDAY sun to rise far
above the earth; this condensation makes
the air " heavy" at sundown, made heavy
by the greater qualification of the emaua-
tious by cold and resting on the surface
of the earth in their more concentrated
and malignant form, they are breathed
into the lungs, and swallowed into the
stomach, corruptiug and poisoning the
blood with great rapidity. BY daylight
these condensations are made SO compact
by the protracted eoolness Of the night,
that they are too near the surface Of the
earth to be brcathed into the system; but
as the sun begins to ascend, these heavy
condcnsations, miasmas, begin to rise again
to the heig ght Of several feet above the
ground, and are freely takcu into the sys-
TEN by every breath and swallow; hence
the hours of sunrise aud sunset are the
most unhealthful of all the hours in the
twenty-four in the localities named; and
nooutide, when the sun is hottest, is the
most healthy portion of the day, because
the miasma is so much rarefed that it as
cends rapidly to the upper regions. The
general lessons are, lst Avoid exposure
to the outdoor air in miasmatic localities
for the hours including sunrise and sun
set. ID Have blazing fire on the
hearth of the family room at those hours,
to rarity and send the miasma upwards.
Sd. Take breakfast before going out of
doors in the morning, and take tea before
sundown; then being out after night is
not injurious.

HOME OuEsTIoNs.-Hon. Roscoe Conk-
ling made champaign speech recently in
Utica, New York. On the eventiul morn
ing, the Observer anticipated the forenoon
entertainment by suggesting topics, the
discussion of which, in its view, would have
added much to the enjoyment of the occa-
sion. The Observer suggestions took the
form of questions, as follows:
al. Did not Gen. Grant receive s10,.
900 from Adlcph f. Bourie, and did he
not subsequently nominate Adolph +. Bou'
rie to be Secretary of the Navy? d.
2. Did not Gen. Grant receive $4,000
from Alexander 7. Stewart, and did he
not subsequently nominate Alexander 7.
Stewart, to be Secretary Of the Treasury
8. What constitutes bribery?
IF the answers to these respectful and
pertinent inquiries do not exhaust Mr..
Conkling, he will confer further favor
upon this community by satisfactorily dis
posing of the following questions also:
l. Did not the Republican congressional
committee in 1861 imploate Simon Gamer
on, the Secretary of War, in contract
frauds? ....... .-......
2. Is not Simon Cameron at the present
time an acknowledged leader Of the Re.
publican party?
3. Is man guilty Of contract frauds a
proper person to sit in the Senate Of the
United States?
Mr.. Conkling is a Senator. He cer-
tainly should know.

That Little Real Estate Transac-
ton.

While Grant is laboring zealously to Sc
cure his reelection, and his corrupt lackeys
all over the country are sounding his
praise in the ears of the people, and dwell
ling particularly upon his d,interested be-
neyoience in contributing a whole thou
sand dollars for the relief of the Chicago
sufferers, there are various little transac-
tions. in phich he figured in past time.
which it is we'll enough for the people to
remember. The New York S@n is doing
its part toward refreshing the public
memory in this respect. 1t will be re.
mcmbered that the honse at Washington
now owned by General Sherman formerly
belonged to Grant, to whom it had been
presented, of course. The Sun repeats
the history of the transaction by which it
passed from the possession Of Grant to that
Of Sherman as follows:
when he was elected to the Presidency,
that house belonged to Gen. Grant. He
offered it for sale, and sold it for SIC, 900
to Mayor Bowen of Washington, who paid
him ST 900 down and took his contract to
convey the property by deed. After this
was done, Gen. Grant wrotea letter to a
rich citizen of New York, saying that Gen.
Sherman was too poor to keep such an es-
tablishment in Washington as the General
Of the army ought to have, and that it
would be very good thing if the wealthy
men of the country would give him (Sher
MANI such donation as would enable him
to live in handsome style. On the receipt
of this letter meeting of rich men was
held there. the Presidents letter was read,
subscription started. and money raised
This fund, finally amounted to about $780,
600, was taken to Washington by Mr. A.
Il. Stewart. General Grant managed 1t so
that out ofthis money thus collected at his
0wn solicitation, SOS, 900 aren't into his orm
pocket TO pay for the house he had Just
before sold to Mr., Bome~ tor $40 900; and
thercupon Mr.. A. L. Stewart, who had
brought on the money and paid over to
Grant the part Of it which he had chose
to take for himself, was appointed by Grant
to the o6ice Of Secretary IF the Treasury.
Poor Bowen, thus deprived Of the property
he had bought, at first threatened to sue
for it; but he was persuaded to give up
his contract on the repayment ofhis money,
with the promise that the President would
make it all right with him in the distrib-
uiug the patronage Of the District of Col
umbia; and this promise has not been
kept"

VOLCANIC Activity AMONG THE PA.
cIFIc IsLANDs.-Rcports reach us of the
breaking out of volcano on Camiguin,
anisland of the Philippine group, about thir-
ty miles in circumference. As usual the
eruption was preceded by violent earth
quake shocks. On May 1sta crevice opened
in the earth more than quarter of a mile
long, and smoke, ashes, and earth were ejec-
ted. AS night drew on this opening devel
oped itself into terrific volcano, pouring
out burning lava on all sides. About one
hundred and fifty deaths are recorded out
of the population Twenty five thousand
Almost all have deserted the island, and
sought safety in the adjacent Philippines.
These constantly recurring evidences Of
the mass Of our planet being in molten
state, and of the thinness of its outer crust,
make the slight shocks Of earthqu quake
which we occasionally feel quite sugges-
tive. It's not particularly reassuring
thought that in these strange shakes"
we are feeling through our thin floor Of
solid earth the surging of angry waves Of
fire. Such is the startling fact, and we
may take what comfort We can from the
probability that it is gradually growing
cooler, and not the reverse.

A BIG STEAMER.-It is said a man.
moth steamer for the Hudson River is to
be completed next Summer, to be run be.
tween Albany and New York, to compete
with the palace cars of the Hudson River
Railroad 1t is intended that the new
steamer shall be FIVE hundred feet long, to
be capable of making twenty.cight miles
per hour, aud to average nearly that speed
daily. 1t is proposed that this steamboat
shall run to New York and return to Al
bauy in twelve hours, leaving Albany in
the morning and returning by ten o'clock
in the evening. The steamer will be run
exclusively for passengers. She will have
all the appointments and accommodations
of first-class hotel. She will be built
with very light draught Of water, and
with view to the greatest speed.
