Household Hints,

Linseed oil is better than any
thing else for removing rust from
a stOvepipe. Rub the pipe thor
oughly with the oil a little goes a
great way and build a slow fire
until it is dry.
The best way to keep very nice
and delicate dress is to make bag
OF muslin large enough to hold the
dress as it would hang in the closet.
Shirr up the bag and run basting
or cord through it. Pass the string
throug the hangers in the belt OF
the dress and hang it up in the
closet.
A pretty and useful receptacle
for holding the daily papers can
be made from common red
splasher or a piece Of straw mat

selvedged edges so as to meet, and
sew brass rings to the corners
bind the unfinished ends with rib
bon bows, and sew some grasses oil

help OF her colored lieutenant, and her
patrons, moved out yesterday. Miss Fish
burn has during that time, ,>unaided un-
attended, and almost without furniture
or the munitions of war, held the lower
floors OF the elegant fourstory residence
and made il uncomfortable for the enemy
coming and going 10 their quarters i'll the
upper floors.
The two women rented the house to-
gether, one to furnish q table, the other
sleeping apartments Miss Fishburn had
the lease made in her name, but " i'll not
say W hose money she paid Her partner
claims TO have furnished all the money.
They disagreed. Miss Fishburn consulted
Attorney j Altbeus johnson to have Miss
Gait elected.
Mr. johnson explained the delays of the
law and suggested that more vigorous
measures would be necessary if full use Of
the house were desired before the month
expired. Miss Fishburn went home and
hired two cplored men to move out the
enemy But her merccnaries proved un-
faithful and W ere bought over. They only
put the furniture In better shape and gave
fuller occupancy. Miss Fishburn then
sued, but did not press the case.
Yesterday the lease expired. Miss Calf
moved When a reporter called, her body
guard during the days of siege, the faithful

Ma nteI-Shelf Draperx.

A pretty and novel way TO drape mantel
is to procure three and half yards of
plain China silk in any desirable shade
and sew to it lengthwise strip of Persian
silk, also three and half yards long, but
only half as wide. Fasten the scarf at one
end even with the mantel board and at
the other form a loose knot of tt1r long
end, letting 1t hang in folds. Take the other
half width Of Persian silk and to it attach
small brass rings; through these run a
brass rod. Secure this by tiny brass
brackets to the wall above the mantcl,
taking care that the silk reaches that
which covers the top of the shelf. This
forms a beautiful background for pho
tographs or bric-a-brac. At the side of
the mantel, where no drapcry falls, place
a huge plant or several plants in n gradu-
ated wire rack until the topmost one
stands on q line above the mantel. This
mode of decoration is particularly pretty
for dining room.
