THERE appears to be no doubt that
paper barrels are to come into ex-
tensive use as substitute for those
of wood. 1t is manifest that, their
form being that of a uniform cylinder,
there must be a saving of fifteen per
cent. in stowage, a large gain, OBJ
viously, in slowing vessel, and also
in the cost of storage in warehouses;
and they are said to have successful
ly withstood all trials as to liability
to burst, having been experimental
with in this way to the extent of four
thousand pounds inside pressure.
The paper is made waterproof, imper-
vious to air or moisture, and is thus
not liable to absorb the odors or fla
vors peculiar to other articles when
stored together in vessel; and, be-
ing about air-tight, they are especial
ly desirable as a protection against
the insects and vermin which abound
in warm climates, and against loss of
-four, and sugar, &C., in handling.
They are more manageable, too, than
the wooden barrel, as they roll at a
true angle, while the wooden barrel,
from its convex shape, is likely to
roll in any direction. The paper
from which the barrel is made IS
manufactured from wheat straw; the
hoops are only added for protection
in rolling, so that if they become
loose, or are even knocked off, the bar
rel is in no degree impaired.

Items Worth Remembering.

Benzine and common clay will
clean marble.
If you buy carpets for durability,
choose small figures.
Naturalists say that single swal-
low will devour six thousand flies in
one day.
Butter will remove tar spots. Soap
and water will afterward take out the
grease stain.
To remove paint splashed upon
window panes, use hot solution of
soda, and a soft flannel.
Kerosene and powdered lime, whi-
ting or wood ashes, will scour tins
with least trouble.
Immersing growing plant in wa
ter of 120 degrees, will clean it of
lice and other insects, and not hurt
the plant.
To clean Drowned porcelain ket-
tie, boil peeled potatoes in it. The
porcelain will be rendered nearly as
white as when new.
A strong solution of carbolic acid
and water, poured into holes, kills all
the ants it touches, and the survivors
Immediately take themselves off.
An inkstand was turned over upon
a white tablecloth; a servant threw
over it mixture of salt and pepper
plentifully, and all traces of it disap-
peared.
Save the SCOT that falls from the
chimneys, when the latter are cleaned.
Twelve quarts of SCOT to hogshead
of water makes good liquid manure,
to be applied to roots of plants.
To take the mildew from linen,
mix soft soap with starch powdered,
half the quantity of salt, and piece
of lemon, and lay it on both sides
with paint brush; let it be in the
open air-on grass is preferable-till
the stain is removed.
An excellent, well recommended
pickle for curing hams is made of one
and one-half pounds of salt, one half
pound of sugar, one-half ounce of
saltpetre, and one-half ounce of pot-
ash. Boil all together till the dirt
from the sugar has risen to the top
and is skinned. Pour it over the
meat and leave the latter in the solu-
tion four or five weeks.
This mode of cleaning glass gives
it great brilliancy: Take finely pow
dered indigo, dip into it moistened
linen rag, smear over the glass with
it, and then wipe it off with per-
fectly dry cloth. As substitute for
this, fine sifted ashes, applied by a
rag dipped in spirits, will answer as
we'll. Spanish white is apt to make
the glass rough and injure it.

In a lecture in Boston, last week,
DR.. Lambert said that it was impos-
sible for man to live over 103 years,
and that all talk of mans attain
ing greater age was not reconcila-
BILE with facts. In proof of his earnest
ness, he offered to give 81, 900 to any
person producing a man over that
age, with legal proofs of the date of
his birth, the matter to be submitted
to three persons, selected in the usual
manner But in order that person
may know whether he has the neces-
sary qualifications to live to some
where between eighty and one hun
dred years, it was necessary for him
to investigate certain conditions.
First, longevity depended in great
measure upon the age attained by
ones ancestry; then to the shape
and size of the head, the form of the
body, and the color of the eyes. A
man with the proper qualifications,
of course was not absolutely certain
to attain to great age; but with a
careful observance of the laws of hy
giene he stood a chance of a hun
dred to one. Among the requisites
as particularized were constitutional
tendency to longevity in the fami-
ly, caliper measurement of about
SIX inches from the rear of the tenn
pies, long distances from the bridge
of the nose to an angle of the lower
jaw, a measurement of twenty six
inches from the seat of the chair in
which a person is sitting to the
breast bone, and last, but not least,
hazel eyes.

John Quincy Adams Southern
RtOOd.

From the Worcester Spy.
John Quincy Adams ana h0per. %
Barnu-ell Rhett were cousins. Inese
&c. Dc man renresented the extreme North
srn and extreme Southern doctrines and
hatad each other with intense bitter
ness The Rhetts of South Carolina,
having become extinct, their relations,
the Smiths. of Beaufort, took the name
of Rbett in 1886. Their cousin, Abb
gaii Smith, of North Carolina, married
John Adams, and was the mother of
John Quincy Adams.-tM Many of our Ex-
changes.
This paragraph concerning the
mother of John Quincy Adams has
been ''going the rounds of the press" :"
without correction. John Adams
was not married to an Abigail Smith,
"of North Carolina" This was an
invention. His wife was Abigail
Smith, daughter of Rev. William
Smith, of Weymouth, Massachusetts.
At the time of their courtship, John
Adams did not appear to be satisfac-
tory to her parents. The story goes
that they neglected him, left his
horse standing at the hitching post
when he visited Abagail, and denied
him the hospitalities. of the house.
Her older sister was married to a
Boston merchant, and her father
preached for her a marriage sermon.
Finally they consented to AbagaiF
marriage to John Adams. After the
marriage, Mr.. Smith said to her,
well, Abagail, / suppose l must
preach marriage sermon for you
but you must choose the text" Her
quick witted reply was: every well,
l choose this text John came neither
eating nor drinking, and We say he
hath a devil 1t is good story,
and very characteristic of the wife
of John Adams. We hope it is
true.
