How to Clean Wall Paper.

Home and Farm.
To clean wall paper, take off the dust with
a soft cloth. With a little -four and water
max a lump of very stiff dough, and rub
the wall gently downward, taking the length
of the arm at each stroke, and in this way go
round the room. As the dough becomes
dirty, cut the solid part off. In the second
round commence the stroke a little above
where the last one ended, and be very careful
not to cross the paper or to go up again.
Ordinary papers cleaned in this way will
look fresh and bright, and almost as good as
new. Some papers, however, and these most
expensive ones, will not clean nicely; and in
order to ascertain whether a paper can be
cleaned nicely, it is best TO try it III some
obscure corner, which will not be noticed if
the result is unsatisfactory. If there be any
broken places in the wall, Fill them up
with a mixture of equal parts of plaster oil
paris and silver sand, made into a paste with
a little water; then cover the place with q
little piece of paper like the rest, if it can be
had.

Correspondence Country Gentleman.
Has a housekeeper no better employment
than to weary herself and shorten her life by
keeping her kitchen floors as white as snow?
L really pity your anxious inquirer who
wants to know how to get a dark floor white.
Alas, in the words of the good book, | would
say, thou cumberest thyself with too much
serving" but one thing is needful, and this
is to spend the time that would be occupied
at this unnecessary work in some profitable
recreation that would be rest and a refresh
ment. A painted floor is better than q
white one, and it, relieves the husband and
the whole household from an enormous bur
den and care i'll the too careful avoiding to
soil this white floor. A painted floor needs
no scrubbing. \ mop and some hot water,
with a little soap in il, cleans it off very
quickly, while Il floor cannot be kept white
without hard s%crubbing with sand, and
actually wearing away its surface once a
week. To paint the floor, get a gallon can of
Johns asbestos paint No. SO for a light drab
color; No. 40 for a darker, and No. IS for a
very pretty buff, 1t will cost s. $50, and will
give two coats to a large kitchen hoor And
the paint will last six years. At least my
Kitchen floor was painted in this way six
years ago, and it is good yet. This paint
dries quickly, To put it on, finish up the
work early, and put on the first coat as soon
as possible. Keep a fire on all night, and the
paint will be nearly dry in the morning; but
have a few boards laid down-not on the
tioor-but resting upon narrow laths at each
end and the middle, to walk upon until the
paint is quite dry. Then put on a second
coat, and a third, if there is enough of it; II
not, put what there is where the most wear
is. If nothing better can be done. get the
best lead and boiled oil, with plenty of dryer
in it, and for color, use lumber, lightened
with chrome yellow TO a desired shade. The
Johns paint, however, is far more durable
than the poor lead we get now.
