HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Paint or grease spots may be re-
moved from WOODEN cloth by turpen-
tine being rubbed on.
Britannia metal teapots should be
| rubbed with sweet oil or flannel, then
polished with rottenstone, and next
washed with soap and hot water, and
finished with wash leather and whit
ing powder
Writing rendered illegible by age
may be restored by moistening it by
means of feather with an infusion of
gals, or a solution of prussiate of
potash calculated with muriatic acid,
observing SO 10 apply the liquid as to
prevent the ink from spreading.
Marking ink or iron moulds may be
removed by placing a plate on the
top Of basin Of boiling water, then
spread the articles on the plate, wet
the spot with boiling water, and rub
it with small quantity of salts of le-
| mon; as the article dries the stain
will disappear. II the first fails, re-
peat the application.
To clean white straw hats-Make q
paste Of pounded sulphur and cold
water, wet the hat Or bonnet, and
cover it with the paste till you do not
see the straw; rub hard; hang the hat
up to dry; when dry brush the sui
phur off with a brush till the straw
gets beautifully white. This method
is easier than the sulphur bleaching
box, and can be done very quickly.
Imitation marble paper, highly var
nished, may be washed with cold wa
ter and soap.
Paper mache, now much used for
mouldings and ornaments in rooms,
may be cleaned with soap and water.
Table knives should never be put in
hot water, as it loosens the handles
and spoils the temper of the steel.
For simple cleaning after use, wipe
them only with a damp, and then
with dry cloth.
Wall paper may be cleaned first by
busting it with clean cloth, and then
by rubbing it with a Stale loaf of
bread; the crumb surface of the bread
being cut away from time to time.
Plated articles should be carefully
wiped dry after washing them else
they will rust or canker at the edges,
where the silver first wears off; and
on this account also, they should be
cleaned as rarely as possible.
In making way through burning
house, if it be full of smoke, do not
walk upright, for then you will run
the risk of suffocation, out creep on
hands and knees, the freest air being
to be had close to the floor.
To clean gold chains-Dissolve 8
ounces of sal ammoniac in six ounces
of water, in which boil the chain;
then boil it in soft soap and water;
wash it in cold water, rub it dry with
flannel, and shake it in a bag with
dry bran, or lockwood dust.

HE TOOK ONE LOAD.

1t is reported Of the late William
Ell. Vanderbilt that his father, the
Commodore, did not give his son,
when young man, much credit for
business ability. Absolute vertical
ton of this is doubtful, but a good
the son proved that he too carried in
his head some Of the astuteness in
comm ercial intercourse that his father
possessed. The Commodore present
ed him with farm on Staten Island,
informing him that he might live
there, and to make the land pay, as
that was all he cared to contribute
toward the lads support. A short
time later the Commodore inquired
Of his son how he was getting along.
Not very good, father, the young
man replied. What I need badly is
some means of improving the earth.
Well, suppose you go up TO my
stables and get load Of refuse; but
mind, shall only give you one load.
Ali right, replied the son, and he
took one load, but to the astonish
ment Of the Commodore, whom he
went to the stables they had been en-
tirely cleaned.
How many loads did that boy of
mine cart away from here? he inquir
ed of the stableman.
One, sir, replied the man; but he
carried the stuff away in a barge, sir.

FRANKLIN'S LOAN.

We often learn by sad experience
that 1T is very unwise plan to give
money to the poor. 1t is much wiser
either to loan or to require some
slight return in work. This plan
tends to raise the respect of the reel
pient, rather than to form the easily
acquired habit Of begging. In an old
English magazine we find the follow
ing letter from DR.. Franklin to some
unknown beggar; it is amusing as
we'll as instructive:
"April %, 1854.
''I send you herewith bill for ten
Louis dor. do not pretend to give
such sum; [ only lend it to you.
When you shall return to your coun-
try you cannot fail of getting into
able you to pay all your debts. In
that case, when you meet with an
other honest man in similar distress,
you must pay me by lending the sum
to him, enjoining him to discharge
the debt by like operation when he
shall be able, and shall meet with
such another opportunity. I hope it
may thus go through many hands be-
fore it meets with q knave to stop it's
progress. This is trick Of mine for
doing a deal of good with a little
money. am not rich enough to af-
ford much in good work, and SO am
obliged to be earning and make the

Deafness cannot be cured by local applica-
tions, as they cannot reach the diseased por
tions of the ear. There is only one way to
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in famed
condition of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chan tube. When this tube gets infiam ed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result and unless the Inflammation ca n
be taken out and this tube restored to its nor
mai condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten caused by ca
