A Few Hints on Moving.

Move all the bric-a-brac and parlor
ornaments first. It is important that
they should be displayed with elegance
on the load. The truckman should have
the most aesthetic taste.
Never mind beating the carpets; beat
the landlord you are leaving. Remem-
ber he refused to put 81 gilt paper on
the hall bedroom, and dunned you for
rent in the presence Of your wife's father.
The coal hod should be carried tender
ly. Fill it with coal and let the eldest
boy tug it along. It will learn him a
lesson Of patience and develop his biceps.
The crockery you will carefully pack
in washtub, of course. This is one OF
the time-honored laws Of moving that
would he an i'll omen to break-especial
ly the crockery.
Pack your tin ware and mirrors on the
same load; you will thus cast more re-
Election on the neighbors you are leav-
ing than you could by six weeks we'll
meant gossip.
Leave dilapidated water pail, roll
of ragged carpet, half bushel Of old
paper, a tin nurse lamp and pot of
soap grease behind you. They will
serve as nucleus for the next tenant.
