Household Hints. The stovepipe can be cleaned by putting a piece of zinc on the coals of a hot fire. The vapor produced carries off the soot by ehemical decomposition. An excellent way of cgoking eggs is to break them into boiling milk, without beat- ing. Cook slowly, stirring now and then. When done soft pour into a dish and add a little salt and pepper. Iron rust is readily removed by equal parts of common salt and cream of tartar, moistened with water and applied to the stained spots and placed in the sunshine. Moisten as it becomes dry, for two or three hours. Stale buns may be made to taste as nicely as when fresh if they are dipped for a mo- ment or so in cold water, and then put in a hot oven for five or ten minutes ; they will turn out as light and crisp as when first baked. , Pour boiling water over the raisins, let them stand a few minutes to soften, then drain the water off and you are ready to proceed. No more trouble with sticky fingers. Just pinch the seeds out at the stem ; a knife will expedite platters a little, though not essential. Rusty black lace can be freshened by washing it in borax water. After it is par- tially dry dip it in water in which an old kid glove has been boiled and some indigo blue added. Then stretch the lace out well and either iron it on the wrong side or press till dry with a heavy weight. If you have any old cane -bottomed chairs which want recaning, you may make the seats useful with thick colored wool twine. Cut away the old cane first, and thread a long, stout darning -needle with the twine. Knot the ends, loop it through the holes backward and forward, crosswise from side to side, right and left, and, every hole being filled, work them back again, weaving as you would for cloth, so you must be careful not to draw the threads very tight the first time over, or it is more difficult to weave. Finally, press the pair of threads together. In buying table linen, the finer, smaller the pattern the longer it will last. When table -cloths are half -worn, or past use as such, the hest parts may be cut into table napkins, and if neatly hemmed few will notice that they are not of a regular pat- tern ; or these pieces may be used to lay under boiled fish for serving, or they will be found very convenient for wrapping cake before putting it away in a tin box, for cover- ing bread, and a score of other uses in the kitchen ; for it is neper well to leave food, after it is cold, uncovered and exposed to air, dust, and flies. Fruits, which are so healthful and cool ing, make dire stains on table linen and clothing. Such stains can be removed from white goods by pouring boiling water through them, provided that the spots have not been first wet in cold water. If they have, or are of long standing and refuse to disappear before this simple treatment, clip them in water to which has been added chloride of lime in the proportion of one tablespoonful of the chloride to each quart of water. If the stains are very deep let the article remain in the water fifteen or twenty minutes, then hang in the sun with- out wringing. Fruit stains on colored goods are more serious matter. Boiling water is the best thing to use, for it will not injure the most delicate color or fabric. Other remedies take out' the color, so it is well to attend to all such stains while they are fresh. There is generally too much time spent in he daily dusting of the house. Many ad- iise that all things be carefully gone over with a cluster or dampened cloth, to take up every particle of dust. Now a damp cloth cannot be used either on varnished or oiled furniture without taking off the gloss. A chamois skin, dampened, is sometimes used with excellent effect on varnished furniture, and that only should he used at regular in- tervals. The hest plan is to open the win- dows, and, if necessary, the doors, so as to make as much draft as. possible. Have a stiff brush (they are shaped like a paint brush, and are intended for stuffed furni- ture) and brush and clean well about the cracks and folds, if there is stuffed furniture ; for a floating fluff that seems to come from mysterious distances is found about most houses, especially those in towns and cities. Then for fine furniture use the finest and softest feather brush your can get, flipping up the dust, so as to force it in the direction of the windows. Have coarser feather dus- ters for coarser furniture, and try to force` the dust up into the centre of the room, so as to reach the draught and float out. In this way a room may be dusted in ten min- utes that would otherwise take from three- quarters of an hour to one hour to dust with cloths. If there is anylbt about dou l ant dost be - pin a large damp cloth about a broom and go over the caret with it. Tidewill ' up all the dust that falls, and prevent more from rising. It takes but a few min, utes for this process, -if onee practiced in it. .A11 modes that shorten the dusting Of a large house are a positive gain of time.

TAPIOCA PUDDING,—Take six tablespoon- fuls of tapico and soak it in milk for some hours before you intend to use it ; when you are going to snake your pudding, put the tapioca into a quart of milk, place it on the fire, and, as soon as it boils, sweeten it to your taste and let it simmer for a quarter of an hour.

CANADA'S TIMBER LANDS. Statistics of the Product and the question of its ,Exhaust ion. An Ottawa despatch to the New York Herald says :—There has been much specu- lation of late as to the possibility of the lumber supply of the Dominion becoming exhausted in a very few years. The several provincal governments have been giving their attention to the matter, which is likely to prove of such vital importance to the interests of the country, with a view to devising some means by which this great industry may be preserved. Mr. Ward, an accredited authority, estimates that the Province of Ontario furnishes 4,474,000 pieces, equal to 3,600,000 of standard pine logs of 200 feet each, producing 520,000,000 feet of lumber, 6,790,000 cubic feet of white and red pine, or 81,000,000 feet, board measure ; dimension timber, 23,000,000 feet, board measure ; hardwood, cedar, etc., equal to 5,000,000 feet, making in the aggre- gate 635,500,000 feet, board measure, pay- ing to the Provincial Government for timber dues annually $501,000, and ground rents $46,000, with 28,000 square miles under license. The Province of Quebec has under license 48,500 square miles, producing 2f400,000 square pine logs, equal to 386,000,000 feet, board measure, and 1,308,000 spruce logs, producing 106,600,000 feet, board measure; white and red pine timber, 3,110,000 cubic feet, equal to 37,320,000 feet, board mea- sure ; hardwood, 51,000 cbbic feet, or 611,- 000 feet board measure ; railway ties, 143,- 000 pieces, 32 feet each, making 4,575,000 feet board measure ; tamarac, 165,000 feet, board measure; hemlock, 34,000 feet ; cord- wood equal to 5,000,000 feet, making iii all 549,976,000 feet, giving a gross revenue to the province of $868,596. The cut in New Brunswick is estimated at 160,000,000 feet of all classes, principally spruce: The pine, once so plentiful in this province, has become nearly exhausted. The above.fl aures regarding NewBrunswick, however, only refer to the cuton Government lands. There is a large extent of private lands held in the province which pays no tribute to the treasury. These limits are estimated to produce annually 500,000,000 feet of lumber and timber, three-fourths of which is exported, the balance being requir- ed for home consumption. The extent of the territory is 17,500,000 acres. 10,000,000 of which is granted and located, leaving 7,500,000 acres still vacant, and giving to the Government an' annual revenue for timber, ground rent, &c., of $152,000. FORTY YEARS AGO. There was time to live. Men slept yet in their beds. The epoch of haste not come. The saddle was the emblem of speed. Brawn and brains went hand in hand. A day's journey was a serious matter. We were still a nation of handworkers. The highways were dusty and populous. No house contained a sewing machine. The canvas -covered wagdn was the ark of trade. The turnpike was still the great artery of trade: There was not a mower or harvester in ex- istence, The land was lighted with candles after nightfall. Butter was unmarketable 100 milds from the dairy. The steam saw -hill had just begun to de- vour the forest. The lord of 1,000. acres sat with his har- vesters at dinner. The day began with the dawn and not with the train's arrival. The spinning -wheel and shuttle sounded in every farmer's house.

THE ('i,AR1k 01`'01,1141)101N. Sotue 0o1601Advice ti Wes it tRiulttei, Tho mother of several boys was One day benloalling se. a : visitor tete feet that her youngest,:: "a chili ;of Ave, was snbjeet to Sutzuner complaint: She inti beets up with ))iris all the preceding night in an attack re- selnbling,cholet8, morbus,scourge of cholera was in the'lauel tit the time, altd tine anxious paretlt sighed as site said she knew poor little Tont would have no chance if ex- posed to the disease. She had hardly finish- ed her lament when the guest caught a glimpse of its object. The morning was a rarely one, but the child was standing near- ly knee deep i11' wet grass under a plural tree in the garden eating the unripe fruit with gusto. At ]ler friend's exclamation of hor- ror, the mother glanced from the window, nodded smilingly to the juvenile culprit, and said calmly, as she resumed her seat : " 1 never limit the boys in their allowance of fruit. They are welcome to all they find 011 the ground, and the clear fellows enjoy it thoroughly." Another chilli, a girl of four, is "passion - at el fond of ick! , » " It does no good to put thein out of her reach," laughs the mother, " 1 did that for a while. But after I caught her risking her neck balancing herself on two chairs and a footstool to reach the jar oft the top shelf of the pantry, 1 thought it would be safer to keep them where she could get them with- out breaking any bones." Nearly every one is acquainted with child- ren who are as devoted to their strong tea and coffee as is a regular drinker to his dram. While these beverages may be help- ful in imparting temporary tone and strength to hard -worked men and woolen, it is a great mistake to permit a child to begin life by over -exciting his nervous system by their use. For those who do not like milk, cold water—not ice—should be sufficient. Thoughtless mothers often lay the founda- tion for this taste by pouring a few tea- spoonfuls of real tea or coffee in the child's " cambric tea." . Far better is it to have it understood at the outset that such drinks are not for children, instead of pretending to humor a whim which can do no good. Nervous digestions and tempers would all be the better for the abstinence. The adoption of many English fashions that possess no intrinsic value has been the vogue of late in this country. One that is well worthy of imitation is the manner in which English children are trained. The plain breakfast, the early dinner, the simple tea would all be beneficial if grafted upon the Canadian nursery stock. There are fa- milies even in this country where the sub- stantial lunch of the parents is the childrens' dinner, and where the little ones do not ap- pear at the late repast, which is the principal meal of the day to their elders. In one such home the approach of Sunday was always heralded with delight as being the one night of the week when the juniors were allowed to have a slice of cold meat apiece with the milk, hominy, bread and butter, and simple jam or marmalade that composed their usual week -day supper. This course is not always easy to follow. It is hard to deny pleasures to children even when one is convinced they would do more harm than good. It is often mere sel- fish love of ease and dislike of a scene that actuates parents in yielding to the pleading of the youngling for some unwholesome de- licacy. The fact once established in the child's mind that ho can get what he wants by crying for it, his plan of action is simple and obvions. Gerard, the Lion Hunter's Pet. -The story is told of Gerard, the great lion - hunter, that he captured a whelp in the mountains of Jebel-Mezours, Algiers, named it " Hubert," and brought it up as he would bring up a dog from puppyhood. .After some time, his huge pet becoming too dangerous to go at large, Gerard made a present of the animal to his friend, the Due d' Aumale, and Hubert traveled to Paris in a big cage, bemoaning his separation from his old master. The next year Gerard himself visited Paris on leave of absence from the army, and went at once to the Jardin des Plantes to see his exiled favorite. He describes the interview as follows : Hubert was lying down, half asleep, re- garding at intervals with half shut eyes the persons who were passing and repassing be- fore him. All of a sudden he raised his head, his tail moved, his eyes dilated, a nervous motion contracted the muscles of his face. He had seen the uniform of the Spells, but had not yet recognized his friend. I drew nearer and; nearer, and no longer able to restrain my emotion I stretch- ed any hand out to him through the bars. Without ceasing his earnest gaze he ap- plied his nose to my hand and drew in know- ledge with a long breath. At each inhala- tion his attitude became more noble, his look more satisfied and affectionate. Under the uniform that had been so dear to him he began to recognize the friend of his heart. I felt that it only needed a single word to dissipate all doubt. " Hubert 1" I said, as I laid my hand on him—" my old soldier 1" Not another word. With a furious bound and a note of welcome he sprang against the iron bars, that bent and trembled with the blow. My friends fled in terror, calling on me to do the same. Noble animal 1 You made the world tremble even in your ecsta- cies of pleasure. Hubert was standing with his cheek against the grating, attempting to break down the obstacle that separated us, mag- nificent to behold as he shook the walls of the building with his roars of joy and anger. His enormous tongue licked the hand that I abandoned to his caresses, while with his paws he gently tried to draw me to him. If any one tried to eome near he fell into fren- zies of rage, and when the visitors fell back to a distance he became caltn and caressing as before; handling rme with his huge paws, rubbing against the bars, and licking my hand, while every gesture and moan and look told of his joy and his love. When I turned to leave hint he shook the gallery with his heart-rendiug roars ; and it was not till I had gone back to him twenty times, and tried to make Minn understand that I would come again, that I succeeded in quitting :the place. After that I came to see my friend daily, sometimes spending, several hours with him in his. Doge. But after a while I noticed that he became sad and dispirited, and when the keepers alluded to his furious agitation and excitement every time I left him, and attributed his worn-out and changed ,.ap pearance to this cause, I took their advice and made m visits as seldom as possible. One clay, some four month from the time of inv $rst meeting with him in Paris, I enter- ed the garden, and one of the keepers came forward, saluting�and said'; " Don't come any, more. si " , m r , a Ilubert is dead.' at Deyou believe in ffemale physicians'?"

Fortunately the; injury was not serious, but with righteons indignation at the stupidity of ]ler now Irish "help" she said: " Didn't you know the pan was sure to fall and likely to hurt someone badly if you hung it up there ?" " Indade I did, maam, I11 fell on nieself twice( to -day." " Ah, those autumn leaves,. Farmer Robin- son," sighed his city guest. " What lovely tints of color, and what an addition they are to the. charming .scenery you must so enjoy." " Yes, miss. The leaves are get - tin' a good deal of yeller and.red onto 'em, that's a fact. It's about time to gather--" " Then you really find time to gather au- tumn leaves ?" " 011, yes, indeed. We rake rap re few cart -loads every year for beddin' for the bosses." Another aesthetic dream smashed. " That Parisian trick—the Vanishing Lady—that Hermann does is a great one,' said Jones. " He covers a lady with a veil, and after a little manoeuvering removes the veil, and the lady has disappeared." " That's nothing to a young lady in our boarding-house," answered Brown. " I have seen ten or twelve persons in the parlor, and this young lady come in, sit down to the piano, and begin to play and sing. In two minutes all the rest had disappeared. Talk about Hermann 1 He ain't a patch to her." .A bargain sign stopped a procession of ve- hicles in Tremont street, Boston, the other day, in an amusing way, opposite a noted dry -goods establishment. A woman whose Wei -h could not have been less than tree hundred, generous measure, rose slowly and majestically in her place in the street -car, and look d eagerly out of the window. The conductor marked the attitude and pulled the strap. The car came to a standstill, and the stout woman descended with much force on a feeble -looking passenger next her. " Don't you wish to get out?" cried the con- ductor in an irritated way. "Of course not. only want to see what that bargain in socks was." Glass Eyes. Some idea o the extent to which glass eyes are used, as well as other facts about them, may be found in this paragraph from a foreign exchange : Germany and Switzerland produce over two million glass eyes in a year ; and a Paris manufacturer, with a reputation for finer work, some three hundred thousand. They are made in the shape of a hollow hemi- sphere, and the most skill is required in forming the pupil out of the colored glass. Every variety of color is used, some eyes being even traced on the inside with red pencil to produce a bloodshot effect. " We fit the eyes," said a dealer recently, f' to the socket by heating and softening the ball, and then cutting it with hot scissors to the proper size and shape. The hollow part fits over the stump of the eye. When this is neatly done the artificial eye moves as readily as the real, and it is difficult to tell wh'yc11 one is glass. " T11t3 great majority of artificial eyes axe used by workmen, especially those in iron foundries, where many eyes are put out by sparks. It is seldom that a woman has a glass eye. If an artificial eye were not used when the real one had been injured, not only would it give to the possessor a peculiar facial appearance, but it would be apt to af- fect th eothet• eye. An artificial eye seldom lasts longer than five years, because it is acted upon by the salt of perspiration and of tears, which dulls and roughens the surface. " For this reason it is customary to take the eye out at night, which also gives the socket a rest. Some nisen are able to cry just as well with' a false as a real one. It depends altogether upon whether certain arteries have been injured-" A Romantic Career, The history of Prince Torlonia, whose death was announced recently, is a series of surprises. The family were of French origin and came from Auvergne, the original name being not Torlonia, but Tourlogne. The founder of the great banking family was ser- vant to Cardinal Aquaviva, who in his will left him a provision for the rest of his life. The valet invested the money in lace and needles, and did a good trade with these small wares, and was able to educate and push forward his son, who early showed de- cided ability for finance. He was patronized by Pius VI., and employed by him to carry ,out a series of monetary operations, all of which were brilliantly successful The name of Tourlogne was now,abandoned, and Giovanni ¢Coi•lonia founded a bank, and money multiplied with him. On his death in 1829 he left his son, Alex- ander Torlonia, a fortune of 40 millions, Alexander inherited not only his father's wealth but also kis capacity for business. The 40 millions invested in the purchase of a monopoly of tobacco, stretching over thirty years, increased enormously, and Prince Torlonia found that while the other Roman nobles were growing yearly more impoverish, ed, money was fructifying in his coffers, He employed it in princely hospitality and in ventures of enormous magnitude, .arid both methods of investment were prosperous.
