damage. Several suits Will be brought
against the water company to compel

Uses for Soda.

Tinware may be frightened by dip
ping a damp cloth in common soda
and rubbing it well.
Very hot soda in a solution. applied
with soft flannel, will remove paint
splashes. Use soda in the water to
clean paint and glass instead of soap.
Strong, tepid soda water will make
glass very brilliant, then rinse in cold
water, wipe dry with linen cloth.
Ceilings that have become smoked
by kerosense lamps may be cleaned by
washing off with soda water.
For cleaning oil paint before re-
painting, use two ounces of soda dis
solved in a quart of hot water, then
rinse off with clear water.
A lump of soda laid on the drain
pipe will prevent the pipes becoming
clogged with grease; also, flood the
pipes once a week with boiling water,
in which little soda is dissolved.
Wash white marble porches, bath,
etc., with a mop dipped in boiling hot
water and soda. A good deal of soda
should be dissolved in the water.
A little soda put in the water in
which cut flowers are placed will keep
them fresh for long time.
If grease has been split on table or
floor of kitchen OR pantry, put little
soda on the spots and then put boiling
water over them.

The Sandwich Nan,

The London sandwich men ore q dis
tinct class peculiar to the great metro
polls. They are the peripatetis who
advertise the latest novelties in thea
tres or wardrobes, and they spend
their lives, so to speak, between the
boards. They are for the most part,
broken-down folk, who have lost other
employment through evil habits; but
there are some of better class who
are thoroughly respectable and trust
worthy. They are selected by bill
posting agencies, which make bust
ness OF supplying employers, and the
applications are always in excess Of
the demand. A general election is al
ways time of harvest to the sandwich
men. In London at a Parliamentary
election as many as hundred Of them
have been employedby each candidate,
and an instance is mentioned by the
Graphic where "each side sedulously
sought to make the sandwich men who
were proclaiming the virtues Of the
opposition candidate digracefully
drunk. Both sides succeeded, and
two hundred drunken sandwich men
we're on exhibition that day in the con-
stituency, to theamusement of the frIv'
olous and sthe horror OF the serious
minded among the lieges." The pay
on election days is doubled, and hence
if four hundred men are required al
last eight hundred can be had. A

family, recently won wager by pa
