Hints for the Household,

New earthenware should, before be.
ing used, be soaked in cold water for
twenty-four hours this will render it
less liable to crack, as well as enabling
it to be made thoroughly clean.
For washing articles which are not
greasy, such as tea things, etc., every
housekeeper should be provided with
good-sized wooden bowl, for by con-
tact with this they will be less liable
to be Clipped and broken than when an
earthen basin is used. Still further to
avoid the danger of breakage, one
article only should be put in at time.
A small cloth should be kept with
which to cleanse them while in the
water, for merely rinsing them and then
wiping them on the tea-cloth will not
insure cleanliness.
For washing the inside of jugs, a
miniature mop, with handle a foot
long, like those sold for cleaning the
chimneys of lamps, is indispensable.
A little soda should sometimes be
used for washing jugs, and if the same
is occasionally used for washing tea
things, it will make them look much
cleaner and brighter.
Soda should, however, never be used
except in small quantities, nor should
it be constantly employed, as it has g
tendency to injure the glaze. Soap OF
potash has not this injurious effect, but
neither cleanses so thoroughly as soda.
For tea-cloths linen must be used, as
cotton fabrics are not sufficiently ab-
sorbent to dry the earthenware. Fol-
washing greasy earthenware, two tubs
of suitable size should be provided
one, III which to wash them, must con,
tain hot water, with a little soda, or, fol-
the reasons stated above, potash el
wood ashes; and the other, in which to
rinse them Immediately after they are
washed, must be filed with clean cold
water.

WHAT He MEANT.-A writer in the
st. Paul Press tells new story of Hor.
ace Greeley. Horace wrote note to a
brother editor in New York whose
writing was equally illegible with his
own. The recipient of the note, not
being able to read it, sent it back by
the same messenger to Mr.. Greeley for
elucidation. Supposing it to be the
answer of his own note, Mr.. Greeley
looked over it but likewise was unable
to read it, and said to the boy: SEQ
take it back. What does the internal
fool mean? ?" "Yes, sir" said the boy
that is just what he says"

A GOLDEN CHICKEN. The Vallejo
(Cal.) Independent describes the follow
ing singular search for gold mine: A
short time ago Smith & Barr sold a
chicken to customer. A day or two
ago the customer returned, and was anx-
ious to learn from whom Smith & Barr
had purchased that chicken. At first he
declined to tell why he wished to know,
but finally told that he had found pieces
of gold in the chickens crop, and wGs
satisfied that there must be lenty of it
where the chicken came from. The
chicken was traced to a man and his
wife who brought down a lot from Lake
County, and the gold-hunter started off
in quest of the chicken raisers. He is
going to scour the country until he finds
them, and then he expects to see gold
lying around upon the ground loose and
in great abundance.
