4 Coed Record

We take both pride AMI pleasure in
calling attention to the splendid record
made by Senator Hitchcock during hi:
three years service in Congress. 1t is a
record of faithful service, of practical
work, written 10 deeds rather than words,
upon the pages Of the Statute books,
rather than those Of the Congressions|
Globe-a record giving proofs Of effort.
crowned with success, for the promotion
of the best interests Of the State.
In addition to many acts applicable to
Nebraska only. the Senator has secured
the passage OF . number of Acts of q
general nature ; all, however, upon sub
jects Of special interest to the people Of
our State /; nearly oil, in fact, bearing
upon the public land policy of the Gen.
eral Government.
We doubt If any other member Of
Congress has ever, in the same time,
made so great an impression upon the
land laws OF the country, effecti0g 50
many just and needed changes, and sd-
ding 50 many important provisions. We
are not able 70 give q full list of Senator
Hitcbcock's bills, which have passed in
to laws; but the following partial list,
given mostly from recollection, speaks to
his praise more efectuslly than any
words We can write.
An Act, 70 encourage the growth Of
timber upon western prsiriss," with act
ameudaiOry thereof.
This act introduces Q new and dis.

Useful Hints.

To PREVENT CALICO From FADING.
Take the dress when it needs wash
ing, ,and dip it in a pail Of salt water,
andSdryEit before sending it to the wash.
AThis should be done before it is washed
the first time. and the process need ncv
or be repeated.
To MAKE LIQUID GLUE.-Limc, one
part; sugar, four parts water, twcvcs
parts, by weight. Digest the lime and
eyssugar in the water several days, shak
ing up the mixture several times day
The viscidity of the glue is increased by
diminishing the amount of water. Said
to be extremely tenacious aud unaffected
BIZ extremes Of heat and cold.
To REMOVE INK FROM CARPETS =
Procure basin Of sweet skinned milk
and sponge, and pour the milk freely
over the spots and then absorb it again
with the sponge, repeating this opera
ton three or four times, until the milk
is, no longer blackcncd, and then wash
the milk from the spot with a cloth
and water, and not astain remains be-
MUcILEGE FOR STICKING PApER.-
Take two ounces of Gum Arabic, one
fourth ounce Of white glue, q tablespoon
full of molasscs, lump Of white sugar
as large as good sized hickory nut, put
it all together in basin and Just cover
it with ccld water let it stand half n
day, stirring it occasionally, then put it
over slow fire until all is dissolved,
let it boil little and it is really to put
on the paper.
MoTHaPREY ENTlvE- following
recipe for keeping moths out Of cloth
ing, the Journal ofiChemistry says is a
fayoritc in some families: Mix half
pint of,alcohol the same quantity of
spirits of turpentinc, and two ounces of
camphor Keep in q stone bottle, and
shake before using. The clothes or
furs, are to be wrapped IN linen, and
crumplcd up pieces Of blotting paper
dipped in the liquid are to be placed in
the box with them, SO that it smells
strong. This requires renewing about
once year,
To REMOVE MlLDEw Make ve
ry weak solution of chloride of lime in
water-about heapng tcaspooniul to
q quart of water: strain it carefully, and
dip the spot on the garment in it, and,
if the mlldcw does note disappear immc
diately, lay it in thc:sun for few min
utes, or dip it again in the water. The
work is ef1ec,ually and speedily done
and I can not find by experiment that
tho chloride Of lime either rots the
cloth or removes delicate colors, when
sufficiently diluted, and the article rims
ed rfteIward in clean water.
WHITENING BEEswAX.-In cool
weather wax can be whitcncd in little
sawhile in the sun by spreading it out in
very thin flakes or layers. Take very
thin board orsn clean shinglc and wet it
throughiy, and then dip it first in ..pure
melted wax. 1t will adhere to the
shingle in sufficient quantity to make it
thick as is necessary, and it will cool
off almost instantly on being taken out
of the melted wax. N"w draw knife
along the edges and you eau readily
cleave It off he shingle, and you have
the thin layer Of wax. Expose this to
the sun on the snow or on window
