SMALL ECONOMY. Gloves, which are
very little things in themselves, often
prove large item in the expenses Of a
young lady, Here is q genuine way to
save money, and yet wear fresh, clean
gloves. When YOU have several pairs of
soiled gloves, shut the door and open 4
window in your room. Then pour a cup
full OF naptha or Il pint (accordlng to the
number of gloyes) OF naptha or benzine,
which, in commerce, are the same thing,
into basin. Then dip your gloves into
it once or twice, and pin them up at your
window to dry This will restore them
TO almost THEN original beauty and purity,
and save both the expense and trouble of
sending them ont to be cleansed. Dress
eS sacks, ShaWlS aud other WOolen gar
ments may be cleanSed in the same way
without being ripped, and will come out
SO fresh as To surprise You. OF course, II
you dip the garments instead OF gloves,
YOU Will need one, two or three gallons OF
benzine but as it is only fifteen cents Il
that will be cheap experiment. AS
soon rs they are dipped the garment
should be hung ON u line out ol doors
that the odor may pass Oh. ii gloves
have become spotted by sea air on other
dampness, lay them in Il paper box; then
saturate the inside of the box cover with
liquid ammonia, put it on the box, and
your spotted gloves will soon come out as
fair as ever. \ very reliable lady who
has made these experiments with great
success, sends these receipts for saving
money


And be very careful that no fire or
lights are near the benzine while it is in
an open vessel, as the vapor will take fire
like powder Ed Journal

Unless it is greatly DETAINED, there is
danger that the tenement-hOuse NO. Io3
Park-place will tumble down. One week
since the Chief Inspector in the Building De-
partment warned the tenants to leave, ana
explained to them the great peril IN when
they were living with the North River tide
flowing under them, with the partitions
panIy saeced and the walls evidently inse-
cure. Singularly enough, these poor people
argued the matter with the Inspector They
would, if they left upon such warning, oe
responsible for months rent 80 they
stayed. Nothing less than the Intervention OF
the police could drive them out. If the build
ing continues TO settle they will be so driven
out-pOt otherwise.


This incident illustrates rather forcibly the
risks which almost everybody is willing to run
rather than be put to a little inconvenience
and expense. OF more than half the dreadful
accidents, rs we call them, by land and by
sea, fair warning is vOuchsafed to those I'M
mediately imperied, with what result we need

to this is the squalid and unhealthy way i'll
which so many families please to live, though
told over and over again that filth brings

Of human folly and ignorance, but there is 10

The exact truth seems to have been reached
at last in the matter of Chief-Justice Waite

fact, when the immense extent OF our
territory and the number Of hostile Indians

so large an army bat that we get along with
one so small Az it is, the Government, which
keeps the Indians well armed, is often unable
to protect its own citizens against them.

"Riflemen, form !" is TO be the order for the
next two months, as the contest in September
between British and American teams will be
of the closest. The action of the National
Rife Association has made it certain that all the
Iong-range rifle clubs in this country will have
the chance of participating in the competitive
trials for the selection of a team. II may prove
q harder trial for some of our Ncw-YorS
marksmen to hold their own against competl-
tors from the rest of the United States, than
1t did in their contest with foreign teams.
But if our representative team is thereby
made stronger, the English riflemen will have
q harder Job than did the Scotch and Irish.


Children in crowded tenement houses have
long contributed the largest share to the bills of
mortality in the hot Summer months, but this
fact. though long suspected, has been only in re-

means are at hand for reducing this mortality by
giving the little ones a chance to breathe ficsb
air occasionally. The appropriation asked for
by the Board of Health will enable our physi-

Their latest movement Is TO resolve
to nominate no one against the RepuD-

time to see that the people Of Louisiana
both white and colored were opposed to
the Packard government, and had already
determined to let it sink into oblivion.
