Aa the carlxilate ol aoilu becomes vo Utilized, the atinosphere of the tick room is uniircgiiatcil with the vapor ot carbolic ucul When the crucible and lamp are not at hand, a utiefactory substitute is found in a tire-brick heaUxl enough to vaiiorizo the carbolate.

We give below a few hints whioh may prove us,-1 ul to housekeepers: Soot falling on the carpet from open ehim noy, or from carelessly haudled stove pipei if covered thickly with salt, can be bruahed 'nn without damage to the carpet. A little spirits of turpentine added to the water with which floort are washed, will pr. vent the ravages of moths. When carpets are well cleaned, sprinkle with salt and fold when laid, strew with slightly moistened bran before sweeping; this, with the salt, will freshen them wonderfully. Fuller's earth, mixed to a stiff paste with cold water, spread on the umat n.l j with brown paper, will, in a day or two, remove grease apow; a second application may be neces- sary. Spirits of ammonia, dilute will. ... u I. . . , , ' " "tei, 11 applied with a sponge or flannel cloth to dis colored siots in carpets or garments, will often restore ine color.

Paint, splashed upon window-glass, can he easily removed by a hot solution of soda.
