i BOITPAI^ S L PAPEI{IXG - ETC "
Select ppei with quiet tints, as being in
better taste than gaudy colors. Some paper
the ceilings also. For this a white or nearly
white waterad paper should be used, with a
broad and delicately colored border.
Side walls can be papered by women. Trim
the unprintcd edge from one side of the
paper, cut into strips the right length,
matching the figure as yoa cut, then lay one
strip at a time on a long table, and with a
good whitewash brush, or even a clothes
brush, spread on the paste—common boiled
flour paste, made rather thin, and perfectly
smooth—then with your assistant, lift the
strip to its place, and with cloths in your hand
pat it thoroughly from the top downwards and
the middle outwards. In putting on the
second piece, lap its trimmed edge over the
untrimmed edge of the first, and match the
figure.
Do not begin in a corner, for these are
seldom straight, but begin by a door, so that
when you come around to the place of be
ginning, there will not be a strip of broke_i
figure to close up with, in papering the
corners of a room, always cat the paper in
stead of turning the comer whole, and then
lap a little so. that the paper will go in
smooth to any irregularities in the corner,
and not bridge across, as it will do if put on
whole.
If your house is nice, and you wish to re
paint within doors, do not fail to get the
sine paint for the last coat. It costs more,
bnt is vastly more durable, has a beautiful
polish, and is very easily cleaned without
soap. But if you are building a nice house,
by *ll manohare. the wo ; i3 wvrk varnished,
and dispense with paint entirely. Almost
aDy wood is handsomer varnished than any
paint can make it, and a simple damp cloth
will then remove all dirt.
All the old varnished furniture, bedsteads,
chairs, tables, Ac., can be made to look al
most like new, if well rubbed with turpentine
ar.d oil. If past such a remedy, buy a cup of
varnish, get the loan of a brush and varnish
the furniture yourself. A nicely varnished
table it handsomer to my taste without a
spread than with one.
If new curtains are wanted for any part of
the house, get huff chintz, the size of the
windows, run a flat rod into the lower hem,
and nail the upper edge to a round rod, such
as you can get at the stores arranged to draw
up by a cord at the sides; or if you cannot do
better, put a round rod at the bottom and roll
up, tying with a cord and tassel thrown over
the top. White curtains can be added, if
wanted.
Carpets should betaken up at least once a
year and thoroughly beattn with whips. All
common ones should be turned the other side
up. Good straw evenly laid down is the best
to keep dust from wearing carpets. Carpets
that are to be stretched much should he bound
all around, and oilcloths should also be bound
with carpet binding.
In purchasing a carpet, remember that
large patterns are only suited to large rooms,
and that a carpet with a small figure, cover
ing nearly the whole surface, will last longest
especially if the carpets be three ply. Let
there be a harmony of colors between the
carpet and wall paper. Select substantial
colors as well as substantial cloth, don't get a
green carpet, snd then keep the room dr.rk
to protect it, but get one that loves the light.
Cotton carpets or even liner, are poor econ
omy, but for honest wear give us the old
fashioned rag carpet yet.— Ohio Farmer.
SOAP SUDS.
A cistern or tank, of the capacity of from
two to four hogsheads, should be constructed
in the vicinity of the sink or laundry of every
farm house, and a system of conductors so
arranged as to lend the suds and slops into it
as they are made.
This liquid matter is a most powerful fer
tilizer, containing the foed of plants in a state
cf solution, and cousequcr.ily in a condition
to be readily taken up : 1 absorbed by vege
tables as soon as applied.
Irrigating gardens with soap suds, after the
liquid has become stale, is a powerful means of
promoting vegetable growth, espci.i'.lv in dry
weather. Some have considered tin value of
such to be equal to that of the sai e weight of
manure ; this, however, is probably an exag
gerated estimate : yet we want i additional
corroboration s-j satisfy 11- ri it s intrinsic!
worth as a r .etable stimu'■< .
Great care should be ob ■ud that the de
caying matter and suds do in t taint the air
about the dwelling, as in the process of fer
mentation and decomposition sulphuretted
hydrogeu gas is thrown off. This is an ac
tive poison. When inhaled it acts directly
on the bloo 1. thickening it and turning it
black. A single gallon of it. mixed with 1,
200 ot air, w;u render it poisonous to birds,
and one gallon in ICM will will a dog. Many
of our people are not sufficiently careful about
allowing such "sicks of iniquity* 1 to exist
near their dwellings.-.Veic England Farmer.
FOWLS IN ORCHARDS.
The public has yet to learn the full advan
,age of keeping poultry. I*ew seem to appro
cis.e what they may do among trees in an
orchard. Let any one try them in an orchard
of a quarter of an acre, where th-y may be
kept by a picket fence four or five feet high;
put in. gay 125'lowis, and observe the re
sult. He will avoid the annoyance in the
gardi n, of which so many complain, while
they will work among the trees,doing just what
is needed and destroying everything t!,at can
injure the fruit trees, in the ah ape of bugs,
worms or other insects, and lay a large num
ber of egg- , which are a cash article, to say
nothing of the chickens, which pay well fo r
raising at the present lime, I have tried it.
and know it is so. I have about one hundred
fowls, wnich have worked admirably among
my trees, keeping the ground in good coudi
tion, keeping off the insects and promoting
the growth of the orchard. I am satisfied
that we have yet to learn the full benefits
which may be derived from the proper man
agement ot fowls, and it is quite possible that
the method I hav. suggested may offer the
best way of getting our apple orchards into
beanng condition. —Exchanjc.
Is WHITE (.LOVER PASTURE Goon ton
SHEEP?— Having kept sheep for six years,
principally upon white clover, I can recom
mend it as being durable and affording about
one-third more food than other grasses, and
it will stand closer feeding, and sheep will do
well on it. I have about ten acres that have
oeeti seeded eighteen or twenty years. It
was sown with , rair : e gragS| whicb is j
aince extinct, and the clover still flourishes. I
'the ground h ls never been broken, and it!
often been remarked that my pasture will
sustain more stock than any pasture of its

to ooi ay or sheep. 1 mix white clover seed
and sow for meadow; It sodß over better and
yields all of one-third more per acre, and
makes much better hay for sheep. I winter
ed sixty-five sheep on hay thus mixed without
any grain, and lost none after winter
set in, and none are r-oor ami weak. My

holding court in that city, a prisoner was be

causing the death of a man by a pistol shot.
An eminent physician and surgeon was on
the stand as a witness for the defence.
The prisoner's counsel, an adroit lawyer,
attempted to show that the man, who lived
some little time after being shot, might have
died from some other cause, and exascined
his witness alter this style:
"Doctor, would net such a thing cause i
death?"
"Oh. yes, sir."
"This is quite sufficient for us," exclaimed

Judge Gould turned on his fset, bent his
large, keen, penetrating black ere full on the
witness, and said a little shaiply:
"Doctor, you have now told us what might
have caused this man's death; what did cause
his death ?"
"The bullet, sir," answered the witness.
This ended the case.

fore attempted upon a single machine, -using
either silk, twist, linen or cotten thread, and seir

in the most beautiful and substantial manner. Its
attachments for n*mming, Braiding, Cording,

RENOVATION OF THE HAIR.
THE GREAT DESIDERATUM of the AGE!
A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy,
and effectual for preserving the Hair. Faded or
gray hair it toon reetorcd to ite original color and
the glose and frcthnem of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness of
ten, though not always, enred oy its use. Noth
ing can restore the hair where the fallicies are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by
this application. Instead of foaling the hair
with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean
vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and consequently
prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious
substances which make some preparations dan
gerous and injurious to the bair, the Vigor oan
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted mere
for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white
cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, givin
it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
