WASHING DISHES.

BT JEAJf HATHB8TOS.

I don't like to wash dishes many a joung lady bag exclaimed in disgust. Well, my dear, I Hboaldn't think yon would, that in, the way some people wiub tbera. Mocb Ian do I (bin* yoa won Id care to eat a dinner from said dishes, bad yon been an eye witness to the purifying?) process WDicb the poor bad undergone.

Somehow, I hatro a sort of pity for I be belpless stiver, tbe white cups, etc, which go to make np tbe table service, when I see tbein tumbled promiscuously Into a dirty pan, with about a pint or water, a little doubtful looking, and more doubtful smelling, soap, and tbe cleansing process is commenced

Down from a rusty nail comes a sour, ragged,black diabclotb,which I suspect did service last in washing out tbe old rotten sink—bab! it makes me sick to tbinkofit!—and tbis thing, forsooth, must be dragged over every bit of china in tbe pan.

Tben, as a last indignity, tbe poor dishes arndrained in tbe bottom of said »ink, and wiped with dirty ten-inch rag*—rags which ought in all reason to b*vo b«»-n annihilated months a

as Ht present they are not fit for a iloor mop. How people of any respectability can do work in tbis way is more tban I can imagine, but that tbey can and do, my own eyes have forced me to believe.

I do not not wonder people dUlike to wash diabea if tbey proceed in this way. But I have s»*en di#li washing done, which to me did not seem at all disagreeable. First, a large tin pan filled -witb clean, soft water, hot as the hand can bear it to tbis was added white, sweet smelliag soap: then the silver, glass-ware and cups receive a thorough wa«hinit with a clean, white dish clotb, and were wip^d with good crash towels, at leant yard in length. When these were finished,there was room in tbe pan for the larger dishes, which, when washed,were rinsed in clean, hot water, and drained, not in tbe bottom of tbe sink (although it was a clean, iron one), hut in another pan, or on aboard made for tbe purpose. When knives were

follshed,

and dishes all finished, it was

ut a moment's work to wash tbe dishcloth in clenn, hot water, wring it thoroughly, and hang it in a clean place to dry. Once or twice a week the towels receive the same treatment. The sink was cashed by its own clotb, which likewise was rinsed and dried. If you adopt this method of washing dishes, ladies, you need not feel mortified should a gentleman acquaintance bappen to drop in tbe kitchen, and stand looking on. while the silver-ware and cups come from your fingers glitteriug and shinning with cleanliness. Believe ne, somehow that brightness will become associated in his mind with you, as well as with tbe dishes. And should your lady visitors offer to help you in your work, you wouldn't have to say, with a bluHh, "My dish-towels look rather black, but they are clean!" or

My towels are hardly (it,but I have to be eoonomieal, you know!" Economise, do, but do not let it be at tbe expense of decency. Don't let one sight of your dish-cloth and sink make your visitor loose her appetite utterly, for a week. For my part, I should rather a lady would do with a few less yards of silk or ribbon, and have nice, comfortable implements for all her household labor, than to sacrifice neatness with unneceesary show. Somehow, I can't associate refi noment and purity of heart with dirty, shiftless dish-washing.

Wutsr in which potatoes have been boiled exercises a remarkable cleaning influence upon silverware of all kinds, especially snoons that have become blackened by egi*s. Even delieately ohased and engraved articles can, it Is said, bo mnde bright by this method, even better than by the use of tbe ordinary polishing powder, which is apt to settle in the depressions, requiring particular care in Irs removal.

THE LITTLE PEOPLEL

A little girl of eight or ten summers being asked what dust was, replied that it was mud with tbe juice squeezed out. •Who cut your clothes, Tommy?' asked a visitor of A curiously-ragged boy. 'Well,' said he, ingeniously, 'ma outs my panta,aud pa cuts my jackets.'

Only looking at tbe picture#. Ethel —'What's this about, Willie?' Willie man 1. or something

-•What'* this about, Willie?' Wl (couteuintuously)--'0, it's only a a boing photographed, cr married, something of that sort.*

An Ohio woman riding on the cars with her boy said he was six,and wbeu 'Btlly' spoke up and declared he was ten the good womau drew him over her knoe and had satisfaction for tbe halffara she was obliged to pay.

A little four-year-old in Richmond, verr fond of a certain dish, when asked by his mother if he wouldn't like to be an angel with wings and fly about heaven like his little brother, replied, after a pause: 'No, ma: I'd a heap rather be a hawk,and live on chickens.'

Tbe subject of impressions at first sight was being talked over in a family circle, when tne mother of tbe family said, 'I always forui an idea of a person at first siabt, and generally find it correct.' 'Mamma.* add her youthful sen. 'Well, uty dear, bat is it *1 want to know what your opinion of me was when yoa first saw me?'

A lawyer in Brooklyn, N. Y. has a little daughter aged four years, that will be one of tbe petitlcoated diplomat*# of the future. Recently her mother, returning from church, found her marshaling a long array of ber brother's toy soldiers on the nurwry iloor. 'Are you playing witb soldiers

Lotitae? sai

Id mamma. 'O,
