Domestic Economy.

The Danbury NesUs Gays: The eco.
nomioal family Ia now ct the zenith OF
Its brilliancy. Everything is done by
itself. and all the expense Of hiring
every little thing that is to be done
about the house is thus saved. The
smacking Of the economical family
lips can be heard further than any other
smacking. When new paper is to be
put on tho wall parer hanger is not 90.
cured. The economical family makes
its own paste, cuts the paper, trims out
the border and does, the hanging. All
the family Is present at this perform
ance. The man measures the height Of
the wall by his eye and outs the paper,
the woman trims the border and snaps
the children ont of the paste. BY one
Of those perversities Of fate which no
one can understand-unless he is pa
per hanger by trade-the first length of
paper is not discovered to be three
inches too short or divided at the
wrong place until half its surface is
clinging to the wall. This wasn't the
mans fault. He never was more con-
WINGED Of it than when he is standing on
his toes on chair, with his arms strain
cd to their full length, the wet paper
turning over at the lower end and cling
ing tenaciously to foreign objects. This
conviction is so strong that he mentions
it. He mentions it at the top OF his
voice. II he can get his eyes in range
of the cool, comfortable looking woman
who is prodding him with advice, he be-
comes actually inspired. That length Of
paper has to be taken off again-taken
off very carefully to guard against loss.
It is little unfortunate that man was
not so created as to take hold at one
time Of every inch of nine feet of pasted
paper. Until this error is remedied il is
doubtful II taking down piece OF wet
wall paper will ever become national
pastime. Still, it must occasionally be
done, and when it is doing the lower
end OF the sheet must be kept from
clinging to the operators legs while the
upper end is being removed. It is also
deemed best by many people not to step
on it, especially on the pasted side, and
it is also Just as well in removing tight
section not to lean too heavily against a
loose section. But by carefully pre-
serving ones temper and working
the whole length can be
removed and wrapped two or three times
around the mans form, and be part way
down his neck, and in between his legs
when he steps down from the chair.
There are various ways of getting the
paper back whole on the table, or APP
proach it sideways, or crawl under it
and come up through the top, or cut a
hole in the ceiling above and drop
through that way. But in an emergency
like this he rarely has that control Of
himself he ought to have, and it is more
than likely he will have his wife and all
the children to help him. If within the
very brief space of two minutes he has
not got both his whiskers and pockets
full Of that paper. and boisterously com.
municated things which no encyclo-
pmdia would undertake to carry, then
his economy is above the price of rubies
and he is dangerous man to board
with.

A Narrow Escape.

A cave occurred in the Mansanita
mine, directly over a powder drift which
was being run, and shut in two men.
There were four men working in the
drift-one white man and three China
men. The tunnel was eighty feet long,
with drifts running at right angles from
the end, distance OF forty-si1 feet on
one side and forty -eight on the other.
George Bradshaw, the white man, was
working in one Of the drifts, and q China.
man in the other. The carman came out
Of the tunnel with load, and one of the
Chinese for powder, about the time the
cave occurred, and ran away from the
danger when they saw the mass OF dirt
coming, but the men inside were closed
in. A large mass of dirt mixed with
great powders of pine clay covered the
ground in front Of the tunnel, and the
forem at once turned on both MOBILES
and set 1900 inches of water at work
washing the same off. This was con-
tinued without interruption until the
rails of the track of the tunnel were
found. The water was then turned off
and men set at work sinking shaft
through the caved mass to tap the tun-
mel. A large gang were present to sink
and prepare timbers for safety, and by
diligent work they reached the tunnel
and found the men all right and ready
to be hoisted up through the hole and
to the surface. It was narrow escape.
The air was bad, and candle would not
burn for hours before the rescue. The
water in the tunnel was getting to Q
about up to the top of the mems
boots, and that caused them more fear
than anything else. Bradshaw said he
was frightened from no other cause than
fear that the water might rise high
enough to shut off air entirely. He felt
confident the men would dig him out,
and they did.

How it Is Done.

Speakers of the House of Representa-
tives are as diff rent in their ways Of
using the gavel as they are different in
personal peculiarities. To use the gavel
promptly, at the right time, and spar
ingly, is the secret of success in the
chair /; the slightest intemperance with
the gavel vitiates quickly the power of
any presiding officer. The present
speaker, an exchange says, understands
this perfectly /; his gentle and deliberate
but emphatic and forcible manner
would almost enable him to dispense
with the gavel in the ordinary proceed
ings of the House. When there is dis
order, he does not add to the confusion,
but sits quietly in the chair, tells the
House, in a pleasant tone of remon-
STRANGE, that "there is SO much confu-
sion in the hall that it is impossible to
90 on with the business of the House, :"
and remains silent until the members
settle in their seats and perfect quiet is
restored.

An Army of Three.

The rebellion in Mexico under Por-
firio Diaz has less of vigor in it than in
surrections usually need, and it seems
not improbable now that the disturbance
will die out of itself before the govern
ment shall have time to act against it..
The latest news represents Diaz as in a
ridiculous plight. He has Matamoros,
it is true, but the government which he
wishes to overturn is in the interior, and
he must march against it speedily if he
is to do SO at all. Not long since he
paraded the national guard, eight hun
dred strong, and after making a stir
ring" speech, presented to the faithful
battalion certain battle flags. Then,
while their breasts were supposed to
glow with the fires of rebellion, he called
for volunteers to follow him in his march
upon the capital. One officer and two
men offered themselves, and the leader
was forced to disarm the troops whom
he had just loaded with ostentatious
honors.
