THE HOUSEHOLD.
TIMELY HoUsE-cLEAN1NG SUGGESTIONS.

Mortar and paint may be removed from
window-glass with hot, sharp vinegar.
Grained woods should be washed with cold
tea, and then, after being wiped dry,
rubbed with linseed OIL Remove flower
pot stains from window-sills by rubbing
with fine wood ashes, and rinse with clean
water. Strong brine may be used to ad-
vantage in washing beadsteads; hot alum
water is also good for this purpose. Drain
pipes and all places that are sorr or i'm
pure may be cleansed with lime water or
carbolic acid, or chloride of lime
Cayenne pepper blown into the cracks
where aunts cOngregate will drive them
away; the same remedy is also good for
mice. Hellebore sprinkled on the floor at
night destroys cockroaches, as they eat it,
and are poisoned. It should be swept up
each morning. Plush goods and all arti-
Giles dyed with aniline colors, faded from
exposure to light, will look as bright as
ever after sponging with chloroform. If
the wall about the stove has been smoked
by the stove cover the black patches with
gum shellac, and they will not strike
through either paint or calcimine. Car
pets should be thoroughly beaten on the
wrong side first and then on the right
side, after which spots may be removed
by the use of ox-gall or ammonia and
water. Whole cloves are now used to ex-
terminate the merciless and industrious
moth. 1t Is said they are more effectual
as destroying agent than either cam
phor or cedar shavings. good moth
powder is made of lupuline (ground
hops), drachm; Scotch snuff, 2 ounces;
camphor-gum, l ounce; black pepper, 1
ounce; cedar sawdust, ounces. Mix thor
oughly and strew among the furs or wool
ems to be protected.
10 remove wine, fruit or iron stains
from linen, wet the spot with a solution of
hypo-sulphate of soda and scatter some
pulverlzed tartaric acid upon it; then
wash out as usual. Furniture needs clean
ing as much other wood work It NAV
be washed with warm sOapsuds quickly,
wiped dry and then rubbed with an OILY
cloth. Rub with rotten stone and sweet
oil. Clean off oil and polish with cham
OILS skin. When hard finished walls have
been calcimined, the soiled coats should
be washed or scraped off before new one
put on. This is the most disagreeable
part of the process. The furniture should
be covered, as the lime makes spots that
are removed with difficulty, especially up
on black walnut. Two ounces of soda dis
solved in a quart of hot water, will make
a ready and useful solution for cleaning
old painted work, preparatory to repair
ing. This mixture, in the above proper
ton, should be applied when warm and
the woodwork afterward washed with water
to remove all traces of soda.
To clean marble the following is recon-
mended: Common soda, two pounds
powdered pumice stone and finely powder
ed chalk, one pound each. Pass through
fine sieve, and mix to a thin paste with
water; rub it well all over the marble, and
the stains will be removed; then wash the
marble over with soap and water, and it
will be as clean as it was at first.

A Bear That Can Read.
Scranton Pa. Truth.

Mr.. William Chase proprietor of the
hotel at Tobyhanna, recently set trap,
and in few days later few of his friends
who were surveying in the woods found
the trap with large bear in it. He was
a savage cuss and the men had no weapons
save a small Ratchet. They hewed down
a few saplings, which made pretty stout
clubs, and with these and the Ratchet they
dispatched the critter. They then SKIM
ed bruin and replaced in the trap When
Case next visited his trap he was
astonished to find a skinned bear in it.
He was little mad at first, but the Joke
was explained to him and all was right.
''Why, the Tobyhanna region is full of
BEARS" said the hunter. ''Mr. Case has
frequently got on the trail of one cuss
who can stand on his hind legs and bite
off sapling seven and one-haIf feet high.
"But the funniest bear I know of is one
in that neighborhood that can read En-
glish plainly. An old Pocono Mountain
hunter named Bailey got on the trail of a
very willy bear and tried hard to capture
him. He used up about $50 pounds of
good meat in setting his trap, but bruin
would paw around until he'd sprung the
trap and then walk off. Bailey discovered
that when the bear came to the trap he
would walk around it several times before
he would venture in. He hit upon plan
that he thought would surely outwit his
bearship. He set his trap on the outside
of the little shed of saplings which cover
ed the meat, thinking that in shooting
around the place Mr. Bear would put
his foot in it,. Fearing that some hunter
would accidently step into the trap he
wrote warning on the paper in which he
carried the meat to the woods, and tackled
it to the tree near by. it read:
Look out for the trap set outside
''In day or two he went to the place
to see the result of his little strategy, and
to his surprise found the trap sprung and
the meat gone. He looked at the tree,
and to his utter disgust found where the
bear had CONTEMPORARY chewed off his
warning notice, and fragments of the
paper were scattered over the ground"

A Moonlight View.
Detroit Free Press.

About 10 o'clock the other evening, as a
number of passengers at the Third street
station were waiting for train out, a
woman about As years of age, approached
the special officer on duty in the passen-
ger-rooms and said she guessed she'd go
out and take view of the river by moon
light if he'd mind her sachel.
Not alone?" he queried.
"Well, guess I can take care of my
SELF" she replied.
There may be rough men about, you
know"
'Then it will be the wuss for them," she
answered.
She had been gone about ten minutes
when two Or three voices were heard
shouting. The officer ran out, and as he
did so a man with a bloody ear passed
him on one side, while on the
other side he caught a glimpse of
chap with both hands on his jaw. The
woman was coming up from the river
with serene gait, and as she reached him
she said:
"The view is iist boss. Is that the Can
ada shore over there?"
"Those two men, madam = did you see
'em?"
Kinder seen EN-"
"And what happened?"
They follered me down to the wharf,
and one of them called me his darling.
They left pretty soon after that, you
bet"
'H-how?"
She extended her hand. In the palm
rested an iron slung-shot weighing half a
pound, which was made fast to her wrist
by string.
L guess you needn't worry about me-"
she grimly observed as he hefted the
iron missile. "Are there any other such
moonlight views around here worth see
ing?"
She had lovely foot and her visitors
were admiring it. They were ladies' of
course. A man who is not a shoemaker
dares not mention such thing unles they
are alone in dim corner of the drawing
room where nobody can oVerhear. what

MODERN PROVERBS.

In a multitude of counselors there is
nothing done.
Where there's will, there's way to
break it.
Good deeds are never lost, if you have a
good lawyer.
Honesty is its own reward; dishonesty
pays cash.
Always put off until tomorrow any con-
templated meanness.
Man proposes, woman accepts if the
collaterals are good.
Marry in haste and escape breach of
promise suit.
Pay your debts, even if it makes you
appear eccentric.
Have stability; rolling stone gathers
no moss.
Avoid stability; setting hen never gets
fat.

Puttlng Young Horses to Work.
National Live Stock .JournaI

A good many young horses are usually
drawn up to help with the spring work, a
very good practice to adopt, provided the
labor req ulred of them be selected with
discretion and delt on in moderation. 1t
IS particularly unfortunate when a far
mer considers himself compelled to de-
pend upon young horses for his necessi-
ties, and the natural anxieties that come
of the usual delays, if much land be un-

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
MOVING DAY.
WARD A. B n, IN PHILADELPHIA RECORD.

Pull out tn pip and dump the stove,
And take he pictures down;
This is the blessed day we move,
We've got a house up town.
Last winter when the snow was deep,
said TO John, said |:
"When moving day The blue birds keep.
Then to this house eood-by.
Don't ask me why want to move,
have my own good reasons;
You might as well ask me to prove
Why nature has her seasons.
My heart was almost broke last spring,
douse-hunting fruitless proving;
We didn't pull tack or thing
Two years without moyingl
''And John, just brush that litter out,
Or Mrs. Riggs will find it
When she moves in, and then no doubt,
She'll say-but never mind it.
Come here and kill these bugs, quick John,
Or else they d cab Us dirty
No bugsl Why, where's your eyesght gone!
Good laws, I've counted thirty!
We've moved at last, and bless my stars!
Where are my trunk and band box?
wish you would unlock these doors,
For don understand locks.
A lunch? Good graciou hear the man!
He only thinks Of vituaIS;
There's soap and soda, brad and nam,
Crammed in these iron kettles.
"Ohl home, sweet home-JOhn do be still,
You know the rooms are splendid;
NV, how | ehakel I've got chill
John, amt that old stove mended?
/ know it's very trying, dear;
Can't make the pipc-hole match it?
Stoves are so funDy-ain't it queer?
There goes the pipe; John, catch it!
'Oh! my, how can you talk so bad?
You promised me last summer
There, dear, don't get so awful mad,
Let's send and get plumber.
Hungry and tired? l guess you're right;
That kettles got them in it;
/ wonder where well sleep tonight?
It's just struck ten, this minute"
OF all the sad, sad days, I know
This Moving Days the saddest;
POmp, pride, and dirt are all laid low
or all our days the madd est.
What chaos all around US stands,
And hopeless wrecks disnay us,
We wonder how those weaker hands
Bring order out of chaos.
