To clean papier mtuhe, use a soft sponge and cold water â€" without soapâ€" dredse it with flour while damp, and after leavug It thus for a short time, wipe it off, and polish tiie article with a silk handkerchief. To clean picture- frames and gilt cornices, dissolve a little cream of tertar in spirits of wine, and wet the gilding carefully, quickly wiping it dry sgain but lightly, so as not to rab off the gilding. Wnite Feathers. You may clean white feathers by plac- ing them in a hot lather for some minutes, and shake them about in it, repeating the action to dry ih^m. Carl them with a blunt penknife, commencing from the right hand side of the feather, taking up about six flues, and gently drawing the knife nn- demeath them against your thumb con- tinuing this all round the feather, drawing some of the flues over them, so as to hide it. Curling over a hot iron will render the carl more lasting.

Two English idlota recently reported to have been married on an ioebers, or aome similarly Arctic spot, are rivaUedby the Georgian pair el cheerful ditto iHio were made one while stending on a graveatone. There has been a feneral " kiss and make up" among the faunUy of Loid Chief Jna- tice Coleridge, and now everything in that particnlar world waga aa merrily aa if there had never beoi hud thooghte and bitter speeches. Cremation is growing in popular favoar in the New England States. A company waa recently formed in Boston with a caj^tal of $25,000. The New Eoglanden seaalbly be- lieve that what has to be done had better be done quickly There is a growing f eeliog in the United States about the disadvantages of railroad rule. The people are beginnfaig to torn in their sleep. 'Wlien they get fully awake the m«gnateB, who have so long roled the rooat, will be surprised. The coffee and sugar planters of Mexico offer a bounty of $25 a head for Chinese la- borers. John will find it good policy to go where he would be appreciated. Then would seem to be money- m a king poasibili- ties here. Western civilization does not agree with the Egyptian obelisk set up in Central Park, New York, and so the New Yorkers, haviog set their wlta at work, are now sora^ng it off and coating it with jparaffine to prevent. It possible, further dismtegration. British politicans during the present crLds are settling right down to the work of speak- ing plidn Anglo-Saxon both to and about their opponents, and when they get fairly started on that ta-k all that this aide of the AtUntic can teach them la not worth know- ing. A littie severity of the same kind might prove beneficial in other places besides Chi- cago where a sewer-builder was recentiy fined $200 for n^lectlng to place warning lighto at night to mark dangerous openings in tiie rosdway, the consequence being that a eaniage was overturned and its oc- cupanta ^own out. U. S. Commissary General Macf«ely must have a feeling heart. Perhaps, also, at one time he has suffered the horrors of dyspsp- sia. At any rate he now recommends that the law provide for the enlistment of cooks and bakers for the army as a means of pre- serving the health and promoting the com- fort and efficiency of the troops. "A fellow-feeling makes as wondrous kind." A proposal has been mooted to raise a subscription in this C3untry in behalf of the Jipanese editor recentiy^ fined 27 yen for neglecting to credit the clippings he took from contemporaries. How much a yen h we have not the remotest, idea, and frankly confess ourselves too lazy at this moment to find out. Dr. Dio Lewis b considered somewhat of an authority on certain matters, and when he says that cutting the hair short at the back of the head indnces baldnen, the girls should think twice before being canled away by the short-hured craze, whioh, however, we are happy to be assnrad, is fast dying out. Girls are much too inherentiy sensible of what becomes them to allow sach a fact to be other than very short-lived.

The room is flooded with the warm snnlight, fall of life and radiance, little in consonance with tbe d-^solate heart of iha man standing there alone. Her birds, her books, her lonngiog chair, the tonch and design that make a h me, are hers. Ha. living presence seems to animate the commoc tilings, and makes them gracioas and loving like herself. And it is only a brief twelve month since she stood there a briiie, aai listened to her husband's proud welcome te their home. Now she lies onder â€" dying dying.
