AS the river subsidies, the damage to
the foundation Of the city bridge is
shown to be considerable. The entire
portion of the north pier, down to the CT b,
is gone and huge rent In the next pier
shows to what hard usage they were sub
jected. The bridge is supported by tim
bers so as to be passable, but the rotten
ness of the concern is to be seen every
where. Indeed it is wonder that the old
thing held up at all. There seems to be
no escaping from the conclusion that it
will have to be replaced by new struct-
ure.

The Modern Athenian.
IMerrill q. Gates, in Harper,s Magazine.

tMerr1il f. Gates, IN Harper's MagaZlne.j
Spare, nervous, thin of face, restless
eyed, quick and energetic of speech, is
the modern Athenian. The groups of
men who seat themselves toward even
ing at the little tables which fill the
streets before the principal cafes, as they
talk politics over their little cups of
black coffee, or their glasses of water
and wine, gesticulate with that energy
of action 10 conversation which marks
the passionate son of the south. Often
the Athenian carries in his hand a string
of beads, not for religious purposes, but
that he may relieve himself of excessive
electricity by shifting them through his
fingers as he bargains and talks-a safety
valve and a re-assuring process akin to
the Yankees whiting. He is keenly
sensitive to every word you utter, quick
to take your meaning, and polite as a
Frenchman in ready Difference to your
expressed opinion; but none the less he
holds firmly to his own belief unless you
have convinced his reason. This he may
not tell you. He may leave you to infer
that you have won him over; and thus
he has laid himself open to the charge OF
duplicity and deceit where he meant
only to be credited with politeness.

Will Make Good Wives.

Two young ladies for the past four
years have had control of farm of about
100 acres near Frostburg, Pa. They
have plowed, sowed, reaped, built fences,
raised hogs and performed the other
countless duties incident to pastoral
life. In addition to their outside duties
the care of widowed and invalid mother
has been tax on their energies. One
of the ladies is ashoemaker, and all work
of that kind used by the family is ex-
ecuted by her. The house in which they
live is large and roomy, yet these two
girls, whose ages, by the way, are %,
and 90, have made all the carpet, and

RESTORING FURNITURE.

If vanished work becomes defaced.
and begins to show white spots, take
equal parts of linseed-o1 and turpen-
tine, and put them in a vial, shake till
thoroughly incorporated, then pour in
small quantities on a soft cloth, and
apply to the spots. Repeat till the
color is restored, and then with another
clean soft cloth wipe the mixture off
carefully. In deeply carved furniture,
if the dust has settled so as to be diff
fcult to remove, use first a stiff-haired
paint-brush to get out as much of the
dust as possible before using the wet
sponge; then roll the sponge up in the
hand, and rub it into the carving two
or three times; rinse, and rub dry with
the chamois, and finish off by wrap
ping the dry skin over the ivory needle,
and drying every damp place in the
carving. This need not take more time
than is occupied in telling it.. IF the
furniture is often busted, it will not re-
quire any more, and it will look fresh
and bright for years with such care.
Ii hot water or spirits of any kind have
been spilled OF furniture or vanished
wood, it will turn white in spots, and
become greatly defaced. Take two
tablespoonful of sweet-oil, one tea
spoonful of vinegar; shake these well
together; wet soft piece of flannel in
this mixture, and rub the spots with it.
They will then disappear, leaving the
furniture as good as new.

WASHING WOODWORK.

1t often happens that the woodwork
on doors, particularly near the handles,
will become quite dirty and badly stain
ed by the frequent running back and
forth by careless children. In these
cases 1t is sometimes found impossible to
remove the marks with cold water or
without the use of soap, however unde-
sirable. If this occurs throw two table
spoonfuls of pulverized borax into a
pail of hot water, and wash the paint
with it. Do not use a brush: but if
found impossible to remove the marks in
this way, then soap must be resorted
to. Rub the soap on the cloth, and
then sprinkle over the soap dry powder
ed borax, and rub the spots faithfully,
rinsing with plenty of water By wash
ing woodwork in this way the paint will
not be injured, and the borax will keep
the hands soft and white. Borax is
not half as freely used in domestic
labor as it would be if all it's usefulness
were better known. It's help in increas-
ing the cleansing properties of soap,
and at the same time correcting it's cor
rosive tendency, is one of its most valu-
able properties.

TO CLEAN MATING.

In cleaning mating, wash twice dur
ing the summer with salt and water-a
pint of salt to half pailfl of warm
soft water; dry quickly with a clean
soft cloth. Treated in this way the
mating will not grow yellow. Or, if
preferred, apply thin coat of varnish to
the mating. That will make it more
durable, and greatly improve its appear
ance. If vanished, it will not need
washing. Now and then wipe with a
wet cloth, and dry quickly. Use white
varnish on white mating. Be sure and
have the varnish thin, or the mating
will crack.

TO COLOR WOODWORK.

If at any time desirable to give pine
tables an oak color, or the woodwork
of a room, it can be done without call
ing in painter. Wash the wood care
fully in a solution of copperas dis
solved in strong I've, in the proportion
of pound of copperas to a gallon of
I've; when the wood is dry after having
been thus thoroughly saturated with
this wash, oil it, and it will look fresh
and nice for year OF two, when it can
be retained and again oiled. Often
when not subjected to hard usage, the
color will remain undirnmed for several
years, only required to be occasionally
oiled. The color may be put on with
short-bristled brush, or, the hand be-
ing protected with thick buckskin
gloves, the wash may be applied with
a cloth, which will saturafe the wood
more evenly. It will blister the hands
if they are not well protected.

HOUSE-CLEANING HINTS,

OiI-cloth washed In hot water or in

dingy when dry, and soon crack and peel
off; but when always washed in luke
warm water with a piece of soft old
flannel, and wiped perfectly dry each
time, they last longer, and will retain
their young looks down to old age; and
it greatly improves their appearance to
use half milk and half water. Skim

new milk. This makes oil-cloth look
as if vanished. Neither soap. hot
