Hints for the Housewife.

To Remove the Taste of Ne1o lFood.-A
new keg, churn, bucket, or other wooden
vessel, will generally communicate a
disagreeable taste to anything that is
put into it. TO prevent this incon-
venience, first scald the vessel with boil
ing water, letting the water remain in
it till cool. Then dissolve some pear.
lash, or soda, in lukewarm water, add
ing little lime to it, and wash the
vessel well with this solution. After
ward scald it we'll with plain hot water,
and rinse it well before you use it.
TO Make Washing F2,dd.-Take sal
soda, pound unslacked lime, pound;
put them in five quarts af water, and
boil short time, stirring occasionally
then set off to cool, and after the liquid
has settled. pour it into Il stone jug and
cork for use. Soak your white clothes
until they are wet through wiring out,
and soap the wristbands and dirty
places. Have your boiler or kettle half
filled with water, and when at scalding
heat put in one common teacuptul of
the fluid. Stir it well, then put in your
clothes and boil half an hour; then
take out and rub through one suds
only, rinsing well in the blueing water,
and your clothes will look better when
dried than if rubbed through two suds
before boiling.

A City i'm Two States.

Bristol, in Tennessee and Virginia,
is an anomaly among towns. 1t has a
population of only 5000, but is located
in two States, the line passing near the
centre of the main street. The rogues
and lawless know where it is to an inch.
The line used to be deeply venerated,
and in former years it would have been
considered a symptom of the decay OF
the Republic for Tennessee constable
to cross the street on the sidewalk, on
the sacred soil of Virginia, to arrest a
criminal. But the line is not now re-
garded with tender veneration. When
"a man kills another and steps over the
lines for protection, the officers step
after him and fetch him back; killing
is, consequently, not so popular as for
merly. Each side of tre line has a
separate Mayor and Board of Aldermen,
and regulates its own affairs in the
sense contemplated by the constitution.
There are two papers published, one on
each side of the line. Each side also
has its own schools and churches.

Cinnamon in Memphis.

There are several Cinnamon in Mem
phis, some of whom have obtained per-
manent employment in families, where,
according to the appeal, they give great
satisfaction, by doing all manner OF
work, at all hours, without grumbling.
Others of them are still beating around
town, living cheap and working wher
ever they can. One of them is a regu-
lar lodger at one of the station houses.
He goes III there evely Y night with his

The Trenton, N. j., Bank Robbery.


On Sunday night the Trenton bank
was robbed i'll most systematic man
ner. The burglars, five in number, had
been in the city several days. They
had rented the building adjoining the
bank, of colored minister named
Walker, for the avowed purpose of
opening a millinery store. They had
even a wire from the house to the bank,
to which they attached an alarm. One
of the robbers remained in the house to
watch the street and give the alarm
when any one passed. His companions
would then stop work and conceal their
lights until all danger was over.
Messrs. Sweim and Bayles were en-
ployed as watchmen in the bank, and
it was their custom to enter the bank
about 10 o'clock in the evening AT
half past 9 on Sunday evening, Bayles
went to the bank and unlocked the
door. He was Immediately seized,
gagged and bound in chair. The
burglars thus forced an entrance and
fastened their prisoner without having
been observed. At 10 o'clock Mr..
Sweim, who had been watchman for
twenty years, went to the bank, and
was also seized by the men. who were
awaiting his arrival.
In securing Mr. Sweim slight strug-
gle occurred on the steps of the bank,
and before he could be drawn inside
the door the struggle was seen by lady
who was passing, and who, thinking all
was not right, gave an alarm. The
burglars saw that they were detected,
and made good their escape. They had
previously, however, burst open the
bank vault, and removed all the valu-
ables. They had not sufficient time to
break open the inner vault, or any OF
the sales in the main vault.
In the bank were found two heavy
pieces of timber, two kegs of powder,
drilling machines, and q large mum per
of valuable tools, with which, from the
expedition they used, they could in a
short time have gained entrance to all
the funds of the institution. In the
yard was found ladder, by which the
burglars escaped to the premises rented
by them, whence they made good then
escape at their leisure. A large mum
Der OF securities, amounting in value tc
over 100000, was left on the floor.

Street Cleaning in London.

1t is said that the beginning of all
street-sweeping dates back to the action
of q certain London merchant who at
tracted great number of persons to
his stole by keeping line of communi-
cation open to the other side Of the
street. Through many months it was
the only place where any one could
cross the street without sinking into
black and unsavory mud, and the mer
chants name and business became IA
nous as the result Of his shrewd scheme.
His rivals adopted it, and finally the
city government was forced by popular
clamor to take street cleaning under its
own charge. Other cities initiated the
Metropolis, and the practice became a
general one. 1t may be that new re-
form is to be inaugurated now in the
same city. Mr.. Ruskin, disgusted with
the prevalent method of keeping only
the crossings free from mud, announces
that he has hired three men, who will
henceforth work eight hours every day
in endeavoring to keep as large an ex-
tent Of street pavement as possible per-
fectly clean. The London papers gen
orally ridicule the scheme but all Mr..
Ruskin's schemes are ridiculed at first
and good many of them afterward. 1t
remains to be seen whether this reform
will live down opposition, and become
as general as its prototype.

Painting Roofs.

A correspondent relates his experience
in painting roofs as follows: To me
there seems to be no doubt that it is
economy to paint the roofs of all build
ings. Five years ago ! builta barn and
large ice-house, both standing in the
shade Of large trees. The ice-house
roof | had painted as soon as finished
the barn was not, and a portion Of the
roof is covered with moss, and the shin
giles almost rotted through, while those
on the ice-house seem to be as sound as
when first put on. have also tried the
same experiments on buildings not
shaded. and am convinced that man
cannot afford to allow any shingle ROOT
to go unpainted, at least if he expects
to own it many years. Having just
finished new barn, l had my men
paint the roof before the scaffolding was
taken down, it being more convenient
to do it before than after removal.
use for this purpose white lead and lin
seed oil. adding coloring to give the
shade desired.

A London Institution TranspIanted.

The benevolent ladies of Newark, N.
j., have established day nursery for
children under the age of five years,
with view of benefiting mothers who
cannot afford the luxury of female
help" and who may wish to spend a
day in shopping or visiting friends,
without being burdened with infants.
The cost per week, including Sunday,
is not to exceed seventy cents. Mrs.
Booths baby nursery in London is re
ported to have been a great success until
by mischance, one of the babies fell
from its manger, and was SO severely in
jured that death soon followed. Mothers
are apt to lose confidence in an "insti
tuition where the lives of their off
spring are endangered, and unless the
Newark ladies provide wire MEETINGS, OF
cages, for the care of the little ones
their success is not likely to be of long
duration.
