shade easier, with middling uplands at
SD and Orleans at SGD; sales, 10000
bales. New York for spot cottons was
firm but dull, middlings at 1880 and fu-
lures steady and easy. New Orleans was
quoted quiet and easy, with middlings at

fair offerings aud a moderate demand.
Prices were unsettled, holders asking
full prices, while buyers were unwilling
to concede to the prices asked, and in
consequence transactions were not very
heavy. Several small lists Of ordinary
changed hands at l3i@l34c, low mid
ding at lie and middling at l7ac.

How TO PRESERVE A BoU-

How TO PRESERVE A BoU-
QUET.-When you receive a
bouquet, sprinkle it lightly with
fresh water; then put it into a
vessel containing some soap
suds, which nourish the roots
and keep the flowers as good as
new. Take the bouquet out of
the suds every morning, and lay
lit sideways in fresh water, the
stock entering first into the wa
ter; keep it there a minute or
two then take it out and sprin-
kle the flowers lightly by the
hand with pure water. Replace
the bouquet in the soapsuds
and the flowers will bloom as
fresh as when gathered. The
soapsuds need to be changed
every third day. By observing
these rules, a bouquet may be
kept bright and beautiful for at
least one month, and will last
longer in a very passable state;
but the attention to the fair but
frail crt atures, as directed above,
must be strictly observed, OF
''the last rose Of summer" will
not be cleft blooming Alone y
but will perish.--American ar

New York Board Of Health
took the trouble 4 year Or two

CLEANING PAINTED SURFA-

CLEANING PAINTED SURFA-
CEs UNvARNIsHED.-Putu upon
a plate some of the best whiting,
have ready some clean water
and piece of flannel, which dip
into the water and squeeze dry,
then take as much whiting as
will adhere to it, and apply it to
the painted surface, when a lit
tie rubbing will instantly re-
move any dirt or grease; wash
well off with water and rub dry
with soft cloth, Printed arti-
Giles thus cleaned look equal to
new, and without doing the
least injury to the most delicate
color; it will preserve the paint
much longer than if cleaned
with soap, and does not require
more than half the time usually
occupied in cleaning.
