In reference to the market building, the

ago, with view, as under
stood at the time, to ordering traps to
supply this deficiency, there are on the
first floor of the market house seven cess
pools yet untrapped, aud the occupants of
the stalls suffer serious annoyance from the
efiuvla escaping through the openings,
besides having their health imperiled
thereby. and that the main sewer under
the market is still without either trap or
ventilator.

United States Commissioner Gillespie

in which bill" Reed of Jesup was the de-
PENDANT, on a charge of retailing liquor

not conclusive. and Reed was disch arged.
The prisoner was ably defended by Mr..

out in the evidence that the mayor of Jesup
had fined Reed SIS for selling a pint Of
whisky, but didn't believe the prisoner was

To Restore the Freshness OF
Worn Clothing.

The mystery to many people how the
most as good as new is explained in the
4mericdn .4ndlyst as follows: Take, for in
stance, shiny old coat, vest, or pair of
pants of broadcloth, cashmere, or diagonal.
The scourer makes strong, warm soapsuds,
and plunges the garment into it, souses it
up and down, rubs the dirty places, if nee
essary puts it through a second suds, then
rinses it through several waters, and hangs
it to dry on the line. When nearly dry, he
takes it in, rolls it up for an hour or two,
and then presses it. An old cotton cloth
is laid on the outside of the coat, and the
iron passed over that until the wrinkles are
steam ceases to rise from the goods, else
they would be shiny. Wrinkles that are
obstinate are removed by laying a wet
cloth over them, and passing the iron over
that. If any shiny places are seen, they
are to be treated as the wrinkles are; the
iron is lifted, while the full cloud of steam
rises, and brings the nap up with it. Cloth
should always have a suds made specially
for it, as if that which has been used for
white cotton or wooden clothes, lint will
be left in the water, and cling to the cloth.
In this manner we have known the same
coat and pantaloons to be renewed time
and again. and have all the look and feel
of new garments. Good broadcloth and
its fellow cloths will bear many washings,
and look better every time because of
them

Regularity OF Habit.

One of the most difficult Of all minor
habits to. acquire, says an able writer, is
that of regularity. 1t ranks with that of
order The natural inclination of most
persons is to defer until the last possible
moment, or to put off to another time,
where this can possibly be done. Yet
habits of regularity contribute largely to
the ease and comfort of life. A person can
multiply his efficiency by it. We know
persons who have a multitude Of duties,
and who perform vast deal of work daily,
who set apart certain hours for given duties
and are there at the moment and attend
rigidly to what is in hand. This done, and
other engagements are met, each I'm order,
and vast deal accomplished, not by strain
ed exertion, but by regularity. The mind
can be so trained to this that at certain
hours in the day it will turn to particular
line of duty, and at other hours to other
restful, when attended to in regular order
But let these run together, and the duties
mixed, and what before was easy is now
annoying and oppressive, and the exact
difference between many is at this point.
There are those who confuse and rush, and
attempt to do several things at once and
accomplish little, while another will quiet
ly proceed from one duty to another, and
easily accomplish vast amount Of work.
The difference is not in the capacity Of the
two, but in the regular methods Of the one,
as compared with the irregular and CON
fused habits of the other.

Removing Paint.

The ordinary process of scraping old
paint, or burning it off, is hardly expedi-
tious enough for general purposes, and is
also laborious. Soda and quicklime are
far more thorough, and the paint is more
quickly removed The solution of half
soda and half quicklime is thus made. The
sodasis dissolved in water, the lime is then
added, and the solution can he applied
with brush to the old paint. A few min
utes is sufficient to remove the coats of
paint, which may be washed off with hot
water. Many preparations are sold for the
removal of paint, all of them having some
basis of alkali. A paste OF potash and
strong lime is far more effectual in opera
tion, and the oldest paint can be removed
by it. Afterward a coating of vinegar or
acid should be used to cleanse the surface
before repainting. One authority on the
subject recommends the gasoline lamp, a
quart of oil being sufficient to last 81!
hours. The method is considered superior
to gas, as the fame is stronger and the
cost less, besides which the lamp can be
carried to any part, which cannot be done
conveniently with gas jet. But the use
of flame of either is dangerous and to be
avoided when possible. Many house
has beer burnt to the ground from using
Jets of fame. For removing varnish,
spirits of ammonia is used, but it is slow
process, and several applications are neces-
sary. Scraping and sandpaperng can be
employed; but it must be done carefully
wood will be injured. The chemical pro
cess of removal has the advantage of leav-
ing the surface in n better condition than
burning Off or scraping, and for large sur
faces of paintwork is to be preferred.
