Domestic Hints.

1t is a good plan to keep your different
kinds of pieces of tape, thread, ETC., in
separate bags, and there is no time lost
in looking for them.
Oat straw is best for filling beds. and
il is well to change it as often as once a
year.
Cedar chests are best to keep fannels
in, for cloth moths are never found in
them. Red cedar chips are good to
keep in drawers, wardrobes, closets, etc. +,
to keep out moths.
When cloths have acquired an un-
pleasant odor by being from the air,
charcoal laid in the folds will soon re-
move it.
If black dresses have been stained, boil
a handful of fg-leaves in a quart of
water, and reduce it to pint. A sponge
dipped in this liquid and rubbed upon
them will entirely remove stains from
grapes, bombazines, etc.
In laying up furs for summer, lay a
tallow candle in or near them, and dan
ger from worms will be obviated.
To prevent metals from rusting, melt
together three parts of lard and one Of
rosin, and apply very thin coating. 1t
will preserve Russia-iron stoves and
CRATES from rusting during summer, even
in damp situations. The effect is equally
good ON brass, copper, steel, etc. The
same compound forms an excellent
waterproof paste for leather. Boots,
when treated with it, will soon after take
the usual polish, when blacked, and the
soles may be saturated with it,

A NOVEL spiritual scance was given in
New York City, recently, at which Miss
Tackerbury, Cleaveland Spiritualist.
figured as the medium. The was placed
in cabinet, her mouth tightly sealed
up with rolls of sticking-plast and her
body securely fastened to chair with
ropes. The room was then darkened. A
murmuring sound followed. Strange
lights appeared in different parts of the
room and the cabinet moved about in n
mysterious manner. One Of the Audi
ence then inquired who was present. and
a voice in the cabinet replied that a spir-
il had come, whereupon there was q
long conversation between the audience
and the spirit. At the expiration of an
hour, the cabinet was opened, and Miss
Tackerbury was found united. with tho
ropes in her lap, but with the sticking
plaster still on her mouth. The cabinet
was then closed for another hour, during
which new lights and spirits came on the
scene and there was much talking and
singing. At the expiration ofthe second
hour, the cabinet was opened, and Miss
Thackbury was this time found tied up
again, with her mouth still tightly sealed.
The rope trick is dodge known to
jugglers long before spiritualism was in
vented by the Fox sisters. and as to the
sticking plaster, every one atall aoquaint-
ed with the peculiarities of the sex
knows that all the sticking-plaster In the
world cannot prevent a garrulous wo-
man from talking # she wishes to do so.

By means of an ingenious process
lately brought forward by an English
inventor, cit is believed that a great
change will be effected in the fur trade.
The plan is that of a method for com
pletely removing the hair from hide or
skin and transferring it, in exactly the
same condition in which it left the hide
or skin, to a piece of muslin or other
substance, leaving the pelt entirely un-
injured for future tanning and finishing
into leather The process is described as
simple one, the operation being per-
formed with the same facility, SO far as
time and trouble are concerned. as the
ordinary method of unhairing with lime,
and at low cost. 1t is thought that a
similar method was brought forward in
this country some years ago, but with
what suocess we are uninformed.
