HousEKEEPERs may be glad to know
that tablespoonful of ammonia in one
gallon OF warm water viii restore the
color of carpets.
To REMOVE grease from wall paper,
lay several folds of blotting paper on the
spot and hold hot IRON near it until the
grease Is absorbed.
PUT one or two red peppers, or few
pieces OF charcoal, into q pot where ham,
cabbage, ETC., is boiling, and the house
Will not be filed with the offensive
odor.
BEEswAx and salt will mako flatirons
as clean and smooth as glass. Tie a
lump OF wax in rag and keep it for that
purpose. When the irons are hot, rub
them with the wax rag, then scour with
paper or rag sprlnkled with salt.
BOILING water will remove tea stains
and many fruit stains pour the water
through the stain, and thus prevent it
from spreading over tho fabric, while
soaking in milk before washing will al
ways remove ink-stains from any fabric.
PASTE FOR PAPER.-To ten parts by
weight of gum arabic add three parts of
sugar, In order to prevent the gum from
cracking ; then add water until the de-
sired consistency is obtained. If very
strong paste is required, add quantity
of flour equal in weight TO the gum,
without boiling the mixture. The paste
improves in strength when it begins to
ferment.
To CLEAN BLACK MATERIALs.-Take
the article you wish to clean, on the
side you intend to make up as the right
side; brush well all the dust out of it !;
then take piece of black flannel or an
old black wooden stocking Git must al
ways be black; dip it into cold coffee.
and sponge well the material all over
alike; then fold up each piece or
breadth nice and even, and let it remain
for three or four hours. Iron on the
wrong side, and the old, dusty, shabby
dress will look just as fresh and bright
as new. L have tried this receipt on
black silk, paramtas, lusters and merl-
nos, and consider it the best L have
used. 1t neither streaks, deadens the
gloss nor rots the materials.
KEROSENE STAINS UPON FLooR.-
A correspondent writes from Pilot
Mound, Mimi, that the breaking of q
kerosene lamp has caused "frightful
spot" upon the floor, and wishes to
know how it can be removed. Good
kerosene has boiling point of $50 de-
grees, considerably above the melting
o. lard-hence in order to drive it COM
pletely from any fabric, from paper, or
from wood, it must be heated high
enough to form a vapor, when, if pure,
1T may be completely removed. Heat
may be applied to the floor by using
flat-irons sufficiently hot, first placing a
piece of paper over the spot. 1t may be
that, after the oil is driven from the sur
face by heat, the stain will reappear !;
some OF the oil remaining in the wood
will be brought to the surface by capil-
larry attraction. In such case it will
be necessary TO repeat the operation as
often as the stain appears.

The name of well known Quaker
this WINS at the end of the last century,
was once given as reference bya young
man of good character who was Just en-
tering business. The Quaker emphat-
ically recommended credit, but the
young man almost at once fell into bad
habits, neglected his business, and be-
came insolvent The injured creditor
met the Quaker and complained that he
had been deceived by his representations
and thereby lost G500. The Quaker re-
piled that what he had stated was then
true, and he also had been deceived, but
as it was on his recommendation that
credit had been given he would pay the
debt, and then and there did 30 by
check on his bankers. Now this il
very pretty little story, and the good
Quaker in the then existing state of the
law could not have been legally COM
PEELED TO make good the loss. There is
commercial moral, however, with which
all our readers may not be acquainted,
and it is this: If in these days man on
being applied TO for reference makes a
broad and positive statement in writing,
or even verbally, that so-and-so Ia per-
fectly solvent, and that credit may be
safely given, and on this declaration
credit is given, the person or firm who
foolishly gave SO unqualified reference
is legally liable for the resulting loss in
case of bankruptcy. Some firms on this
account make rule of refusing, under
any circumstances whatever, TO lend
their names as references-but this
seems somewhat strained, if not cruel,
proceeding. The best plan is to state
honestly and fairly what is known, the
amount Of credit-if any-that is being
given by the firm applied to, coupled
with the intimation that the firm apply
must use their own discretion entire
~ to whether credit be given at all,
RS it is against rules to guarantee the
commercial status of any one.

Capacity Tor Sleep.

Public men, subjected to severe men.
tai strain by exhausting duties, learn to
sleep anywhere and at any time. Napo-
lean once slept for an hour in the middle
of battle, with the roar of artillery
about him. Brougham slept for twenty
four hours ut the close of an exciting
week in the courtroom.
A story told of William Pitt, when
Prime Minister of England, exhibits this
facility:
A mutiny had broken out on ship OF
war, and the nutineers had imprisoned
Admiral Colpoice, and threatened him
with death unless their grievances were
redressed. 1t was feared that the exam
pie would become contagious, and the
mutiny become general.
Several members of the Cabinet, led
10y Lord Windham, went in dismay to
Pitts house for counsel. He was asleep,
but they forced their way to his chamber
and reused him.
The great statesman sat up in bed,
heard their exciting story, and wrote
calmly:
of Admiral Colpoice is not given up,
fire upon the ship from the batteries un.
til she is destroyed"
He then lay down on his pillow, and
was snoring before his surprised col.
leagues had left the room. They comic
not understand how sleep was possible IL
such an emergency.

Enemies and Friends.

A wise man, says the london World,
weighs the value of his friends not by
what they might have done for him, but
by what they have omitted to do against
him; and it adds that in thinking OF
enemies one should be thankful that
they have spared one often, rather than
be vindictive because they have assailed
one occasionally.
