Newspaper Uses.

To polish windows or mirrors, simply
breathe on them, rub lightly with soft
newspaper.
To keep tins bright, take a small
lump of washing soda, dissolve in water
and add a little sand. then rub the tins
briskly with it, using newspaper instead
of cloth. Polish off dry with drv
newspaper. 1t is sa d that there is some.

Old newspaper is an excellent thing
to keep stove clean. Whenever any
thing is by accident spilled over upon
the stove, instead OF trying to clean It
with cloth or brush, take q bit OF pa
per and remove it quickly, and use a
little more paper torub the stove bright,
and then burn them. It is a much
quicker. neater and more convenient
way.

paper folded, is good for a holder and
saves burning the fingers, spelling the
temper, or soiling a dish towel when in
haste to remove boiling pot, open an
oven door or take up a hot roker or
pan.
Old newspaper is the best thing for
cleaning lamps. First, polish the CHM
ney with a bit of paper, removing all
smoke, then take fresh piece to clean
the glass or metal part Of the lamp, es-
pecially the burner, which must always
be kept clean and free from SCOT in Or

the crisp, burnt part of the wick. What
can not be removed with paper ought
not to come off. Scissors are seldom
necessary or desirable in trimming
lamps.
These are only few Of the numerous
ways in which newspapers may be made
useful after having been read, and then,
after being used in this way, they may
be burned for kindling. How much
