Housekeeping Notes.
(For the NEEn.Y CHRoN1cLE.


EDITORS CHRONICLE: Having read with
profit the househOldarticles of Mrs Beech
er in the Cbristio1. onion, the thought Oc-
Cured to us that articles of a similar char
acter on domestic economy might be OF
interest to the lady readers of the CnRON-
ICLE.
We do not pretend to hold ourselves up
for model hOusekeeper, or as one Versed
in all the mysteries of the art, but every
young housewife knows that she is every
day learning something new and adding
to her store of knowledge of household
ways and nothing so increases ones in
formation as to hear the experiences of
others, so that if we can now and then
give bits of our own experience we hope 1t
may serve to advance some one else's
knowledge of home duties. In so doing
we will not confine ourselves simply to
receipts for cooking but give some atten-
ton to the rest of making home attractive
in all possible ways,
Just now our hands are busy with
"Spring cleaning Carpets are filled
with coal dust and dirt and must be taken
UP to be cleaned In putting them down
look them over carefully after they have
been we'll shaken, holding them to the
| light that the thin places will show them
selves. If any one breadth seems more
| worn than others, turn it to another place
OH the floor where it will be less used than
before and in its place put less worn
| breadth, and in this way by turning every
cleaning time, the whole carpet will veal
Uery much longer and wear out evenly al
over and not have great holes in one place
while other parts are comparatively little
worn. After they are smoothly tackled
down again, take strong warm soapsud'
and put into it small quantity of OK gal
(your butcher will supply you with it i
you give him bOttle,) from tea cup to
pint or more according to the amount o
water you have, and with a cloth wrun!
out of this wipe off your carpet and it viii
make it look brighter and fresher than yo1
would suppose until you had tried it
While the furniture is out of the room an
so not in use, get some yarnish of any cab
inet-maker or druggist, and Narnisl
brush and see what a great improvement
coat of varnish will be to your furniture
It will take you but few moments to pu
it on and but few hours to dry, and yO1
will almost imagine you have set of neN
furniture.
IN cleaning paint use Bristol brick
roIted stone as it is sometimes called
powdered fine and it will remove spots an
stains where soap will not and that to
without removing the paint as soap does
1t will also cleanse marble very nicely.

following notes OF tho toa trade Of tho principal
Asiatic ports: At Yokahama, Nov. %, decline
had been experienced during the fortnight to
that date, but transactions wero considerably
larger than during the previous two weeks, the
decline having induced exporters to take hold
freely. At Annoy, Nov. 8, the stock Of teas was
large, and the market quiet. At Foochow, Nov.
4, the market was unsettled, and tea men ready
to meet tho views Of buyers. At Shanghai, Nov.
II, according to tho circular OF Mcssrs. Castle
Bros, OF San Francisco, prices were unchanged,
those for good teas being we'll sustained, and a
large business had been done during the fort
night. Really fine teas ecarcc, and for the few
offerings With any pretensions to quality, high
prices have been paid. The bulk Of supplies
consists of common and roughly made Moyuncs
and FychoWs, which are held at about last mail s
