Worth Remembering.

POWDERED chalk, added to common
glue, strengthens it.
To REMOVE rust from fat-irons or pol
ishing-irons, use soap and sand.
GILT frames can be restored only by
being regilt. If brushed over with
water in which onions have been boiled,
it is said flies will avoid them.
HANGING a broom in the cellar-way
keeps it from becoming stiff and hard.
Replacing furniture as we sweep saves
much disorder and confusion.
If common wood ashes and salt, made
into paste, with a little water, be APP
piled. cracks in stoves, through which
the fire or smoke penetrates, may be
cloned in moment. It's effect is equal
ly certain, whether the stove be hot or
cold.
If you have been picking or hand
ing any acid fruit and have stained
your hands, wash them in clear water,
wipe them lightly, and while they are
yet moist, strike match and shut your
hands around it so as to catch the
smoke and the stain will disappear.
HERE is a varnish for grates.-To one
pound common asphaltum, fused in an
iron pot, add half pint hot boiled lin
seed oil mix well, and boil an hour.
When partially cooled add one quart
oil of turpentine. If too thick, add
more turpentine. Apply with an ordi-
nary paint brush.
To PREVENT the soles of boots or
shoes from squeaking, rasp with a
coarse rasp the outsole and insole, and
every other piece of leather that comes
in contact or friction by the action of
the foot. Then apply freely good
wheat or rye paste. If this is well at
tended to from heel to toe, the boot or
shoe will not squeak.
Soar should not be used in cleansing
oil-cloths. To half pail of hot water,
soft water, add half cup of washing
fluid, or piece of salsoda about half
tide size of an egg with scrubbing
brush or broom rub hard, putting on
only sufficient water so that it will not
run off; wipe dry with a soft cloth it
will look as bright and shining as when
new. This is good way to clean COM
mon paint, as it easily removes smoke,
grease, or dust, and does not destroy
the gloss of varnish. 1t is also useful

AquatiOn.

The discussion of the cremation ques-
ton in England has led to another
proposition for the disposal of the dead.
A writer in one of the Manchester papers
suggests equation" as he calls it, or
the tlfe burying of the dead far ont at
sea. He concludes thus There is no
violence here. The idea is maritime,
and we are maritime people. The
cost would be little, the mode reverent,
the effect sanitary, the condition nat
ural, Scripture would be satisfied, and
the philosophers contented. OF course,
l say not word about the fshmongers
and their customers, although some
might grumble about eating less shell
fish than usual. This would be no loss,
except to the medical profession. For
our part, we would infinitely prefer to
be buried in the "deep sea-" TO being

The Amended Bankrupt Law.

The principal points Of the new Bankrupt
law, just passed by Congress, are as follows :
Forty days are allowed to elapse before a
merchant or trader who fails to pay his COM
mercial paper is liable to be thrown into bank
ruptcy. The assent of one-fourth in number
and one-thrd in value of the creditors is re-
CURED to throw a debtor into bankruptcy.
This provision dates back to the first of last
December. Proceedings may be discontinued
whenever the debtor pays those secured debts
which were the ground of throwing him into
bankruptcy, or whenever, with the consent of
the court, he and majority of the creditors
shall ask for discontinuance of the proceed
ings. In order to set aside hypothecated
pledges as liens on the bankrupt's estate,
1t must appear chat the party dealing with the
bankrupt knew that he intended to perpetrate
fraud on the Bankrupt law, and that he in
tended to go into bankruptcy. When loan
is made to bankrupt in good
faith, and security taken, with the in
tention of aiding him to pull through, it
shall be considered as having actual value,
and the security shall not be invalidated by
proceedings in bankruptcy. and voluntary
bankrupt may have his discharge il his estate
pays 30 per cent of his debts, or provided he
obtains the assent of the same number of his
creditors as is necessary to throw him into
bankruptcy. An involuntary bankrupt can
get his discharge if his conduct is free from
all fraud and he is innocent of any violation or
infringement of the Bankrupt act. Assignees
are prohibited from dividing fees with other
persons engaged in the case. Composition
by the creditors may be made with the assent
of the debtor, providing majority of the
creditors join, where approved by the court,
for the release and discharge of the debtor.
The fees and expenses are reduced one-half
until the Judges of the Supreme Cou"t shall
establish permanent reduction and simplify
proceedings All the acts of the persons con-
nected with the execution of the law shall be
made public in the shape of full and minute
reports from the Clerk, the Assignee the
Marshal, and the Register. Original iursdic-
ton is conferred upon the Territorial courts,
with appeal to the Supreme Court OF the Ter
rtorY.
