HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Old cotton hose are easily con-
verted into good holders for use
about the kitchen stove.
Lampblack dissolved in alcohol
added to whitewash makes a desir-
able color for kitchen walls.
" Vaseline is a superior oboe
dress, as it readers the leather pli-
able and duesu't soil the fabric in
contact."
Those ugly egg stains upon silver
spoons will disappear if salt is vig-
orously applied, slightly dampen-
ed.
Au ounce each of pulverized
cloves, cinnamon, and cedar per-
fumes agreeably and tends to keep
moths from drawers.
A pound of chloride of lime
mixed with a quart of water and
placed where roaches abound, is
destructive to them.,
A woollen cloth is preferable to a
brush for polishing the stove, as it
occasions but little dirt and gives a
softer gloss to the iron.
Instead of soiling oilcloth with
soap and scrubbing brush, the ad-
vice is given to was with soft cloth
in luke-warm water and apply sweet
milk.
A soiled black coat can be quick-
ly cleaned by applying with a
sponge strong coffee containing a
few drops of ammonia. Finish by
rubbing wits piece of colored
woollen cloth.
Slip a paper bag over the cleaned
lamp -chimney to keep flies frorn
soiling it again, or dust from settl-
ing on it. These stains aro hard to
remove when burned in.—Central
Adrorate.
At this season salt is quite apt to
clog in the shakers. To , prevent
this mix the salt with cornstarch,
using s.ven parts of salt and one of
cornstarch. This small quantity of
cornstarch is no' objectionable.
If " sheets, coverlets, pillow and
'bolster ou buth,sides, edges of bed-
cuit::ins, and wall next the bed "
be spi int:led with "a shall quantity
of 2 per cent„ carbolic acid solution,'
and the face and neck slightly wet-
ted with the same, " it is said that
not a gnat or mosquito will come
near,"
To expel mosquitoes, take of
gain camphor a piece of .about one
third the size of a hen's egg and
evaporate it by placing it in a tin
yes' 'I and holding it max. a-lamit,
car that it does not ignite,
Tb,, smoke will soon fill the room
and expel the mosquitoes, and they
will not return, even though the
windows should be left open all
Anter•ican.
A Tij''Mt-)POL'S SPEECH
1 .v. rtlexandor Gordon, of
r,c;lking at the reotintsoiree
of t',:o British Foreign Unitarian
Assotti.1You, in London, addressed
the audience as " Gentlemen and
ladies," and said that when he had
the honor of being their representa-
tive in Hungary he learned that
that was the only right mode of ad-
dres'uiug a combined meeting of the
sexes, ou the principle of keeping
the best, to the last. It was related
of a venerable minister in the North
of Ireland that he rose on one
occasiui with great solemnity in a
meeting like the present, and said
that he hitherto had been 'restrained
from public speaking out of regard
to the n ishes of liis wifo, but now
that ele was gone he would make e
few ..arks, and he had not°dono
so for more than throe -quarters of
an hour when every person in the
meeting mourned the loss of that
wife as though it had been the de -
.cease of his most intimate friend.
They had' got a Provincial Assemb-
ly,, h( thought, here in London.
1,et ti:'•re be no mistake about the
name. Phis was not a non-sub-
,erihing association, They had
run it down as fine as they liked,
but rime pay up. Once there was
a revival meeting in a certain con-
gregation, and after the evangelist
had labored for a week, and with
very good moral exhortations too,
he said, ' Now every man in Chia
meeting that has paid his debts
stand up.' They rose in a mase.
'then he said, ' Sit down, and every
Nan in this meeting that has not
paid bis debts stand up. There was
()no in :ividual, lank and lean, rais-
ed his form aloft. ' 11[y good man,
said the evangelist, ` have you paid
your debts 1' ' No,' ' said he, ' I
have not maid my debts, and I can-
not pay them. I am the editor ofet
religious periodical, and every mem-
her of this congregation owes mo
fur n)y paper,' Mr, 1[erson had
given him a quarter of au hour,
tut be would not occupy it all. He
would be like the teetotaler, who
to him the other day, ` You
h l i,w I am a teetotaler, but I al-
;:., i:ot a little whisky in the bot-
tom of the tumbler just enough to
warm the glass,' ' Ilut, good man,'
said he, ' how do you square that
with your faith1' The reply was,
' Oh, -I never drink down to the
whisky.'
A STRONG HINT.
A special collection was announc-
ed for the day in a Scotch church.
But as the purstestrin;s of the old
farmers were known to be pretty
tightly tied, the collection was to
lee taken- up- In.atie uld fashioned
ladle after the delivery of a stirring
discourse on the merits of giving,
and the excellence of the scheme in
question. About the twiddle of the
sermon the minister, Irappeuing to
look out of the window, spied a
cow wading about in the adjoining
corn -field. Turing towards one of
the side seats, whore s it the owner
of the corn and presumably of the
cow also, he stopped his sermon, anti
said :
`Rab Stevieson, there's a coo wast
yonder frae the kirk up to the horns
amang yor corn. Ye'd better look
aftel•'t at once.'
Up sprang Rab, seized his long-
haired lum hat and stick, and made
for' the door, while the minister
calmly took up the thread of his
'discoorse', As Rab reached the
door, which the beadle was already
holding open, the minister stopped
again, and sang out:
`By -the -by, Rab, ye'll better jiat
leave your collection wi' the beadle
in case ye dinna get back again:
It is said confidently that the
ladle profited more by Rab on that
occasion than it would otherwise
have done, and no wonder. Few,
unless totally bankrupt, would have
had the hardihood to pass without
drawing the purse after such a hint.
