Hints to Hoksskssi'Sss —I once heard a lady say, "a floor will look cleaner after I have swept It than It will after Cousin Hattie has brushed and washed it all day.” I asked her wlty. and she replied, “I always sweep the way tbe boards lie, and in this way I take all tbe dirt and lint that has gathered in the crevices with tbe loose dirt, when, if I sweep across the boards half the dwt would be left In the Jittio trenches, till a gust of wind catno along and then it would go flying about Just at ay window is a peaclitree in full bloom. I cannot raiso my eyes without see ing it, and as I look at Its lovely flowers, and farther on at anelghbor'a garden,where every thing is budding out in all the beauty of I though it had no abiding place. When there spring, I wonder how any world can be more I | S8 bad In the room I use a damp broom when attractive. It is true we have been told “eye j gwe ep beneath it and that keeps the fine, hath not seen,” nor ‘‘hath it entered into the I downy lint from settling on the furniture, heart of man the things which God hath pre-1 rhe beat way to brighten a carpet is to put a pared for those that love Him,” so we are as-1 i m |f tumbler of spirits of turpentine in a aured there it a world more beautiful to the I basin of water and dip your brootn in it anti eye than tho one we now Inhabit; but it is I sweep over tbe carpet once or twice and it bard for frail human nature to realise it. I will restore tbe color and brighten it up un There is nothing more interesting than I til you would think it new. Another good watching vegetation as it advaucea from ono I way to clean old carpets Is to rub them over stage to another. Our garden*, both flower I with meal, juat dampen it very little aud rub and vegetable, afford us never ceasing pleas- I the carpet with It and when perfectly dry ure, as each little flower or seed makes its I sweep over with meal first appearanoe, and wo look eagerly caclt Kerosene oil will remove spots from old morning to see wlist the night lias brought furniture and clean It better than anything I forth.

There has been a great deal said and i know a lady who has been keeping house written in tbe last few years on decorative I f or twenty two years, having in that time art, painUng,ambroidery,eto.,and I was much lived In four different parta of the connwy; struck by a remark I board one lady friend I her family is large, her income is not; I have make to another a few daya since.

It might be a lunatic hospital;" and he arose snd looked back at the houie reflectively "Oh, yes, I live In the moon” he raid, tearing himself again, "sutlntri: I live In the mcon.” A shadow of painful doubt had been creeping ls> to Stella's mind; he wss so mneh like other people; hit manneia were not elegant, snd he wss vety badly dre.eeJ; bat bis own assertion wss satisfac tory. She breathed s sight of relief. Only the fear that he would vanish before she could return, pre vented her from going In sestet of Jtck, the un believing, who certain,y would have lo believe she thought. She resolved to subtract all the Information possible and to use It to convince Jack. ‘What kind ol cheese 1* green cheese?” she In quired . "Well It* sage cheese" the man answered, after some deliberation. "Cheese with so much cage In It that it fa kind of greenish complected eo to speak,'’ "That Iswbst Percy snd I thought;" cried Stella '‘But Uncle John thought It was new cheese." “riiete's nobody knows much about tho moon, but them as lives there," said the man, in a tone snd manner inll ol mjstety. "II must be very funny. But you haven't burst have you? You don't look very limp«y.

Presently, she asked: "Did you see tbe cow when the j umpe 1 over the moon ?” That was another important polo t which Stella wished to obtain tes lmony or Jack boldly declared his opinion that Mother Gooeee wit* not a faithful historian. , The cow? Conn bein'such a plentiful animal, I can’t rightly tell which one you mean.” Stella opened her eyes wide with astonishment. Don't you know? “ 'Hey dldoledlddlle, the cat aud tbe fiddle. , The cow Jmped over the moon?" "Ob, to be sure .'That ere event oocured eome time ago sud it had klud ol slipped my mind.

"Ul course, 1 might take yun a ong with me now, if you was * good girl and didn’t make no noue, and I could bring you back again before they mined you,'' tain tbe man.
