Household Hints.

Mrs. Beecher gives lin the Christian
Union the following household hints:
Never wash mirrors with a cloth, but
after removing all dust from the mirror
and frame with and old silk handker-
chief or feather buster, dampen an old
newspaper, and rub the surface of
the mirror till perfectly clear and free
from spots; then wipe off all the moist
ure with dry paper, and the mirror
will be as clear as glass can be-without
notes or streaks, as is the case when it
is washed and polished with cloth.
When the chromos require cleaning,
remove all dust with a feather brush,
and wipe carefully with soft chamos
skin, or fine linen cloth, very slightly
damped. If little spotted or dull, a
drop of oil on the chamois will remove
it. If the varnish is dull or rubbed off,
re-varnish it with thin mastic varnish.
Like oil paintings, it is not dcsi rable to
hang chr0mos in a dark room but never
expose them to the direct rays of the
sun.
Tinware looks much nicer when
washed in hot water with milk instead
of soap, and will not require the rough
securing which is so commonly used by
servants, and which soon wears off all
the tin, leaving rusty, useless article,
neither iron nor tin.
Soapstone hearths should be first
washed in pure water, and then well
sprinkled with powdered marble and
soapstone, and rubbed with piece of
the same stone.

The Premium Woman.
Detroit Free Press

Sunday afternoon while three or four
hundred sight-seers were loaiing around
the entrance to the State Fair Grounds
Il loncsome-looking covered wagon,
drawn, by faded old horse and driven
by Il woman, hove in view on the llol-

Fair was about to open, and she called TO
the children under the cover

folks you ever seen!"
No one in that crowd had ever seen
such homely woman. She was cross
eyed, teeth out, nose awry, and mouth
big enough for two. A man in the crowd
stepped forward, and after long look
at her face, said:
Madam, we are offering a premium
here for the homeliest woman in Amer

How much is it?' she asked
"Two dollars"

and threw up a hundred hats, but

To Know an American in Paris.

Marie Rowland writes to Harper's
While waiting for our breakfast one
morning in a cremerie in Paris much
frequented by foreigners, my friend
Madame B said, az can point you
out every American breakfasting
here"
| looked around at the people seated
at the different tables, and wondered if
she were speaking seriously. In these
days when fashion reduces costume and
couture to such uniformity, and when
the blood of every civilized race is
mixed to great extent with that of
every other, distinguishing nationality
at sight appeared to me impossible. I
asked my friend her secret.
ooh, it is no secret" she replied,
smiling. 81 don't pretend to tell ex-
cept when they are taking breakfast.
They all put salt on their butter"
Your acuteness applies only to
breakfast them" / said. ;" AT dinner it
would not serve you, | suppose"
said this in a kind of savage way,
having the common weakness that
makes all people abroad defend their
countrymen.
NO" she said; we never put butter
on the dinner table"--a fact ! had at the
moment forgotten.

BY VIOLET FAME.

A thousand lilies blossom unaware,
Here, whore the earth seems chill with buried
love,
And in the now'ry arbutus the dove
Still calls her truant mate, who fingers yet
Az though the world were always sweet and fair
And you and mad nothing to regret
And hope for against hope, aud think upon
Till all things fade!
And so your lips may often weara smile,
And 50 my heart IN y lean to music still;
Your soul may fire, aud all yOur being thrill,
And all your manhood lift itself on high
In din of battle, or In sacred aisle;
Yet under all must lurk one memory,
The grieying for a good time that is gone,
Till all things fade! ~ T. IIO,H.

Glazed Pots for Plants.

Glazed pots for plants are condemned
by most writers. The majority of these
writers are greenhouse men, or those
with but little experience in growing
plants in the dry air of our parIors and
living rooms. Ina greenhouse the air
contains much more moisture than that
in our living rooms, and in watering,
those in glazed pots would naturally re-
ceive the same supply as others in COM
mon porous pots alongside. The evapOr-
alton from the porous pots would be
much more rapid than from the glazed,
and the one would be comparatively dry
while the other would be still wet. The
next watering repeats this process, and
the result is quickly seen. The plant in
the glazed pot perishes at once, or drags
out miserable existence. Glazed pots
can be used with good results in the par
lor or living room. If the drainage is
good, so the surplus can pass off, there
are many plants that will grow well in
them. Palms, ferns, and many of the
ornamental-folaged plants will succeed
well.

IL New Mexico the following method

In New Mexico the following method
of catching ants is both popular and
efiicacious. A few large champagne
bottles are buried in the ground, near
the entrance to the nest, till their tops
are flush with the ground. Every ant,
going to or coming from the colony will
at once walk up, peep over, and then
drop in. When he gets to the bottom,
he finds himself in the middle of free
fight, in which legs and antenna are
chawed off with alarming recklessness.
Two or three days suffice to accumulate
half dozen Quarts of ants, and com
pletely exterminate the colony. Gun
powder, coal oil, and boiling water are
not half as sure,-New Orleans Times.

NEAR FOochOw, China is Il Buddhist
monastery wherein dwells a priest who
probably never heard of the noble
Roman, Lucius Scavola, and a certain
Lars Porsena. of Clusium. But this
Buddhist priest has burned one of his
fingers down to the second Joint in the
flame of a candle, rs an act OF devotion,
and a report is circulated in Foochow
that he will make yearly sacrifice OF
finger, and finally by the same process
of incarceration destroy both arms as far
AS the elbow joint. Somebody from the
HraH (Foochow) office paid the priest
visit, and came away satisfied that
Iisattire had been used in the process,
not long enough before the
operation to produce gangrone. He was
unable to obtain any direct answer as to
the yearly sacrifice, but understood the
priest to disclaim the honor Of such
intentions Disease has already taken
sight from one of the poor fellows eyes,
and is likely To take il from the other.
