Sweden by Candle-Llght.

The Swedish summer is very short, and
the year has hardly any spring or autumn.
But the summer days are very long, and
the sun, after setting, sinks only few de-
grees under the horizon, filling the whole
space during the night with mystical
luminousness which makes even the pig
stY romantic. At midnight you can walk
in the garden and read letter from your
mother. And how singular the letter isS
Every word in il has new meaning and
so has every object around you. The street.
the houses, the old church, the river, the
hills all look so strange, and yet they all
look as ifyou had never before seen their
true shape and never before understood
their true meaning. The houses do not
press the ground with their weight; they
float in the air like pictures. The river
does not push its waves forth through a
melancholy fall from one pebble to
another il only turns its hands rapidly
but gently, to catch the images of the stars
The trees do not suck and heave and toll
for bit of existence; no, they breathe,
they live, they whisper about Paradise.
Swedenborg's idea of spiritual bodies was
by no means grotesque notion. 1t was
one of the most natural and most beautiful
illusions the human imagination ever gave
birth 10. 1t was genuine child Of the
Swedish summer night The clattering
and the hammering and all the noises OF
the town are asleep. The splash OF the
water falling down the cataract in the
birch wood is transformed into sweet
melody, whose subdued notes swing IN

A PRELIMINARY examination of coffee
for admixture is best made by gently
strewing the powder upon the surface of
cold water. The oil contained in coffee
prevents the particles from being readily
Netted by the water, thus causing them
to float. Chicory, burnt sugar, etc, con-
tain no oil, and their caramel is very
quickly extracted by the water, with pro
duction of brown color, while the
particles themselves rapidly sink to the
bottom of the water. On stirring the
liquid coffee becomes tolerably uniform
ly diflused without sensibly coloring the
water while chicory and other sweet roots
quickly give dark brown, turbid infus:
ion. Roasted cereals do not give so dis
tinct color.

Hints on House Paperlng.

This is the season, among good house
wives, for cleaning, whitewashing, paint
ing, papering and otherwise renovating
the domicile.
After the cleaning, whitewashing and
painting is accomplished, comes the
process of papering the walls; but the
first thing, frequently, to be done, is the
removal of the old paper. To do this
successfully, wet the wall thoroughly,
and, when well soaked, the old paper can
be stripped off very quickly. After tie
paper is removed, wash the wall to get off
all The particles of paper which remain,
and leave the walls till nearly dry before
commencing to lay the new paper. If
the walls have been whitewashed instead
of papered, wash the walls with vinegar,
which will make the paste and paper ad-
here more securely. A bench is easily
made for measuring and cutting the paper
by placing boards of suitable length
across two flour barrels. The paper
should be unrolIed and cut to proper
length, and in sufficient quantity to cover
the room, before the pasting process com.
mences. These sheets should be laid one
over the other, to be readily at hand when
the paster is ryady to begin work. The
liability of turning the edges or damag-
ing the paper will be greatly obyiated by
adopting this course. Flour paste
is The usual article for the purpose,
and rye flour is considered better
than wheat, as it has more adj.
hesiOn. Mix the -four in cold
water thoroughly, by stirring, until the
paste has thin creamy cOnsistence, and
then boil, when it will thicken, accord
ing to the length of time it is submitted to
the heat. If found too thick In cooling,
add boiling water till the desired degree
OF thickness is obtained; then ado little
carbolic acid to prevent the paste from
souring or becoming mOldy. A broad
whie-wash brush is the best to apply the
paste with, and the paper should be laid
quickly after pasting to prevent its be-
coming soft and tender to handle.
Two persons are required to lay on
paper with rapidity, one to paste and one
to apply the paper When the paper is
pasted it should be handed to the person
on the ladder, who holds it about foot
from the top end and lays it evenly
against the wall at the top, allowing the
upper end to hang over on the backs of
the hands, by looking down the wall it
may be seen when it matches the pre-
viously-laid length; and after adjusting
to match it should then be brought gen
tly to the wal, the backs of the hands then
pressed against the wall and passed up
ward toward the ceiling, spreading them
out toward the corners of the length of
paper. The scissors are then run along
at the juncture of the wall and ceiling,
making mark which can be easily seen,
when the top of the paper is removed for
little distance and it is cut OFT even and
replaced. Then soft cloth Is gently
passed downward and the paper pressed
against the wall 10 the bottom, where it is
