A New Use for Mourning.

A small Pittsburg girl celebrated her stay
with an aunt at Oil 01ty O few weeks ago in
a unique fashion. The aunt is a belle OF
great popularity, and her little niece noted
with ever increasing disgust that the callers
we're many in number. How to cut down
this visiting list seems to have been the
problem which fascinated the infantine
brain. The solution she hit upon was radi-
cal.
The child had observed during her walks
abroad upon a door-bell handle at a certain
house, the sadly significant white streamers
that announce babe's decease,
and had gathered that emblem of
mourning acted as bar to visitors.
This gave her an idea. She purloined a COM
mon white roller towel and carefully drap ped
it over the bell-pull. Questioned at once as
to her motive, the tot replied that she had
hoped that her aunt's friends would suppose
that she, the aunt, was dead and would
therefore suspend their visits. H. j.

The Senate Committee Lays the Case Before
the Attorney General of the State.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The State Senate
Committee, instructed to investigate what
is known as the Reading Coal Combine, met
to-day. Only two members were present.
The session was spent In listening to the
recommendations Of the counsel to the COM
mittee. The testimony showed that the
Philadelphia and Reading Company and
four other companies controlled the whole
Of the output of anthracite coal and had
raised its price without regard to the cost of
production. In New York State this was
done through railroads operated under
charters granted by the State.
1t is against the laws OF the State for any
stock corporation to combine with another
stock corporation 20 prevent competition in
the product ton and sale OF the necessaries
Of life. 1t is against the laws of this State
for the railroads referred to to combine to
control the price of coal There are two
remedies: One is to dissolve the companies
that have SO leased their roads, the other to
annul the leases. The committee resolved
to adopt the recommendations of its coun-
sci as its opinion, to refer it to the Attorney
General and ask him to take such legal steps
as he may deem advisable.

A HOMEMADE CLEANING FLUID
I For the information of a correspond
ent who wishes to know of some prep
aration for cleaning q carpet of grease
spots, we give the following recipe for
making a cleaning fluid, recommend
ed by correspondent of the Ameri-
can Agriculturist:
Shave two ounces of1white CASTLE
soap into pint of water, and set oyer
the fire until it has dissolved; then
add two or more quarts of water, two
ounces of ammonia and one each of
glycerine and ether. Let it cool, and
cork tightly in bottles. When you
wish to use it shake up and put tea
cupful into six quarts of water; sponge
with a piece of flannel and rub dry
with a clean piece. To clean very
dirty garment, with many grease spots
use cupful of the fluid to quart of
water. This is most excellent wash
ing mixture in the proportion of one
part of the fluid to twelve parts of wa
ter, for wooden and flannel dresses.
This, the correspondent says, is
cheaper and more satisfactory than
the purchased cleaning fluids and

RECIPES.

MOTH PATCHES ON THE FACE.-Bathe
the face two or three times a day IN
borax water; teaspoonful of pow
dered borax in basin of warm water.
To TELL GOOD EGGs.-Put them in
water: if the butts turn up, they are
not fresh This is an infallible rule to
distinguish good egg from bad one.
To PREvENT FLIES INJURING PICTURE
FRAMEs.-Boil three or four onions in
one pint of water Brush your frames
over with the liquid. No fly will touch
them and it will not injure the frames.
A CURE FOR RHEUMATISM Lemon
Juice is recommended as certain cure
for acute rheumatism. 1t is given in
quantities of tablespoonful to twice
the quantity of cold water, with sugar
every hour.
To KEEP BIRDS FROM CHERRY TREES.
Tie strips of white muslin to the
limbs, and let them float out in the air:
this will usually keep them away. If
they become accustomed to the mus
lin, try some other kind of s'scare-
crow"
GOOD USE FOR Soap sUDS. - Save
your washing suds for the garden; if
they are poured over the roots of the
plum trees, they will kill the curculia;
if turned at the roots of geraniums,
roses, &C., they will enhance their
beauty tenfold.
To PRESERVE AUTUMN LEAVES
Have a middling hot iron and rub on
quickly a little white wax, then quick
ly press both sides of the leaves; wax
the iron anew for each side of the
leaf; only rub the iron once over the
leaf. s.Forest tree leaves for wreathes"
ere prepared in the same way.
To CRYSTALLIZE DRIED GRASSES. -
Take one pound of powdered alum,
pour on two or three quarts of boiling
water, place the grasses in it and let
them remain until the solution be-
comes cold and the alum crystallizes;
do not move them while crystallizing.
1t takes about u hours.
IRONING To iron smoothly pur-
chase a few cents worth of beeSWax
and rub it over the leaves of thin
pamphlet, which have been heated
through with a hat-iron; keep it with
the ironing sheet and blanket, and
when the f1at-irons are to be used, rub
them over the waxed surface; then
wipe gently on soft cloth Shirt bo-
SONS can be easily ironed in this way.
If pipe clay be dissolved in the wash
water, the soiled linen will be cleaned
with much less laOor and fully a saw
ing of one-fourth of the soap, and
then the clothes will be improved in
color equally as if bleached. The pipe
clay softens the hardest water. A
cents worth to four gallons of water
is about the right proportion.
When candles are difficult to light,
if the wicks are dipped in spirits Of
wine they will ignite readily.
To clean white or light colored
paint, dissolve piece of ammonia the
size of walnut in pail of water, and
rub the paint gently with a sponge.

Talking of Adjournment.

WASHINGTON. June 15.-A strong dis
position is apparent among members OF
the house to hasten the hour of final ad-
lournment. All other regular annual ap.
preparation bills have been passed origin
ally by the house except the fortifcation
bill and the general deficiency bill. The
last named will be reported to the house
within day or two, and both will receive
speedy treatment. Some time is also to
be given to the consideration of confer.
ence reports, and it is expected that the
District OF Columbia, the river and har-
Dor, the military academy, and, possibly,
the army appropriation bills will be sent
to the president for his approval during
the week.
This is an extensive programme, but
the house managers, are extremely anx-
ious to advance the appropriation bills as
much as possible before the exodus of the
Democratic bers toward Chicago be-
gins at the latter end of the week, and
they will use every effort to accomplish
their purpose,
