USEFUL HINTS.

Those who object TO tea-leaves for
sweeping the carpets can use freshly
cut grass instead. 1t answers the same
purpose for preventing dust, and gives
the carpet fresh, bright look.
The Young Scientist states that
leather and cloth can be rendered water
proof by being well smeared over with a
preparation of paraffine and drying oil,
made by adding about one-tenth part OF
the latter to melted parafiine.
If you want good starch, mix it with
cold water add boiling water until it
thickens, then add dessert-spoonful of
sugar and small piece of butter. This
makes stiff and glossy finish equal TO
that of the laundry.
For hanging pictures use copper or
silver wire. Moths eat out the inside of
the cord. Water in which onions have
been boiled, rubbed lightly over the
frames, will keep insects away from
them.
NEPIUNIrE is a recently patented col
orless substance held in solution for the
purpose of treating silk, wooden and cot
ton fabrics, paper, feathers and other
materials, rendering them water repel-
liant and proof against dampness, mildew
and moths.
For damp closet or cupboard, which
is liable to cause mildew, place in it a
saucer full of quicklime, and it will not
only absorb all apparent dampness, but
sweeten and disinfect the place. Renew
the lime once fortnight or as often as it
becomes slaked.
IT is not economy to have too few
brooms-one for the sleeping rooms up
stairs, one for parlor and sitting-room,
and one for the kitchen are not too many
AS they are worn they may be passed
down grade ut time, the new ones
always being reserved for the parlor
Ii the new broom is allowed to stand
in cold water for twelve hours, afterward
drying it, it will last much longer. A
broom should never be permitted TO
stand on its brush, as it makes it one
sided and ill-shapen. Hang it up by a
loop in the handle.
A WATCH cannot go for an indefinite
period without being repaired or cleaned.
At the expiration of certain time the
oil dries up, dust accumulates, and wear
and tear are inevitable results to the
whole machinery, the functions becom-
ing irregular. and frequently ceasing to
act altogether. A person possessing q
watch of good quality, and DESTROYS OF
preserving it, should have it cleansed
every two years, at least. And care
should be taken TO confde this cleaning
or repairing to careful hands an incapa-
BILE workman may do great injury to a
watch even of the simplest construction.

Three spans of Long bridge was washed away.
AT Toledo, Ohio, the water in the streets was

swept away Several freight cars lying

tents damaged. From Trenton, N. j., it is re-
ported that the ice on its way down the Della
ware river crushed everything in its track.
Bridges on country roads and railroad bridges
were swept away by thousands throughout Ohio

large quantities were recovered.

expired the other night, at Hot Springs Ark.
He was born in Philadelphia, of Quaker par
ents. When but q years OF age he was elected

In 1850 he retired from mercantile pursuits
with fortune, and in 1854 was elected Mayor
of New York. He went to the Hot Springs
last month, in an enfeebled condition.
