tiftil and beocming. Nature never wastes. One of her moathaantiftil «»pecta is that wherein we behold hair, by means of a system of fine and delicate processes, using every atom to work out her gigantic results. Many of the most admirable inventions are thorn which, by marvellously simple and ingenious machinery contrive to make useful and beautiful things out of the apparently worthless off-fallings of other processes. The lumberman used to he satisftad to burn th» rough slabs, that Ml from the saw-log beneath his boilers now be attaches a smaller saw to his mill and rlpa them up into lath. la there anything discreditable in sueh economy as that? On the contrary all wait a, whether in the many-wheeled factory with its hundreds of laborers, or in the quiet kitchen with ita solitary cook, all waste and imneeeasary squandering of the hard results ol labor, is unseemly and sinful.

Lady Barker says she has little hope that any real progress will bo made in the reformation of the kitchen until ladies will do again as their grand-moth-ers did, acquaint themselves thoroughly with the details and principles of household management. She continues: "If this movement is to do any good, it will have to be inaugurated by people whose social and pecuniary position makes them, to a certain extent, unaffected by the pressure which weighs so heavily on their poorer neighbors." If ladies in the higher positions of social life will cease to consider It beneath their dignity to acquaint themselves with the principles of cooking, so as to combine economy with palatableneea, those occupying lower places in the social grade will not feel ashamed to do so.

All this applies as much to American as to English homes, nay more, for America has the unonviable reputation of having the most to cook and cooking it in the worst fashion of any civilized nation on the globe. No table of statistics can show how many of our headaches and stomach -aches and fevers and times of mental and physicial prostration, can Justly be laid to the incompetency or carelessness^ of our cooks but there can be no doubt that a large proportion of our ills originate in the oven and the frying-pan. Nor can we expect much improvement in this state of affairs until American wives and mothers have mastered the culinary mysteries of all the compounds that enter into the daily feod of their families. How often it happens when a heavy, greasy, unsavory and indigestible mess Is dished out to us that our mouths water for the "might have been" that is contained in those dishonored elements! "Ah," we reflect, as we reluctantly raise a forkful to our mouth, "how nice that would be if it was lightly and delicately done, crisp, juicy, tender, instead of the tough, tasteless, indigestible stuff it is."

It is a false notion that there is anything disreputable in a lady's knowing how to bake a light, white loaf of bread, to broil a juicy steak, or to make a pudding that will at once gratify the palato and not offend the stomach. So far from this being the ease such an accomplishment is one of those that any refined and intelligent woman may well be proud of and it is one, too, that every wifo and mother may and ought to possess. We have nothing to say against the graces and accomplishments oi the drawing-room, music, painting, dancing, conversing, eta On the contrary we say, learn these by all means but by no means leave the other unlearned. There la time for all and a time for all—for the parlor, the concert and lecture hall, the gay saloon and, let it never be forgotten, a time for the kitchen and the cook-ntove. We wish this Uttle book of Lady Barker's were in the bands of every young woman in the land.

A 8PLKXPID SCHOOL BUILDING. Tbe Frankfort Banner, of last week has a long and detailed description of the new school building completed in 4hat city, up on the Logansport road. A committee* after visiting the prominent school buildings of the State, selected Cliarles BppUtghouses, of this city, a« the architect, and tbe building was erected at a cost of $27,175. From the, description, occupying some three columns, showing It to be a monument to Mr. Kppinghouaen's taste and skill, we extract this paragraph:

Each room Is complete In ventilation and light the wiadows are all arranged with inside shutters. In short the building speaks for itself It to perfect In

all the conveniences, and practical In srr arrangement. Too often our pubbnildings are overdone, too and clumsy, but hap^ly this is

II is rumored that the fall season will see women apparently clad in coats of mail, a fine network covering oorsage and underskirt, heavy with closely wrought steel beads and when in addition to this, the fronts of hats are ornamented in a similar manner, helmetwise, the effect can be Imagined.

A writer who has flirted with the women of Paraguay, says: "Only imagine yourself about to salute the red lips of a magnificent little Hebe, arrayed in satin and flashing with diamonds, as she puts you back with one delicate hand, while with the other she draws forth from her mouth a btowntoh-black roll of tobacco quite two inches long, looking like a monster grub, and then, depoeiting tho savory losenge on the brim of your sombrero, puts up ber face and la ready for a salute.

Tightly fitting dresses and the Saratoga wriggle %re all the rage at the watering places. According to a Troy lady, who has let the secret out, the Saratoga wriggle to produced by so tying the limbs that they can move only six or eight inches at a time. The shorter the tie, the more exquisite the wriggle.

According to Chinese tradition the fan originated in this wise: llie beautiful daughter of an illustrious Mandarin waa greatly oppressed one evening by a mask which court etiquette obliged her to wear in public, and, untying the ribbons by which it was fastened, moved it quickly to and fro before her faoe ao that lier features should not be recognized. It Was observed by other ladies present that this proceeding had an exceedingly piquant effect they imitated it with their own masks and thus was suggested the combination of cooler and mask soon realized in tbe fan.

Connubialities.

An obedient wife commands her husband. A Chicago paper reminds wives of the pacifying influences of a clean, wellstarched and well-ironed shirt upon the average husband.

A rustic couple, newly married, marched into a drug store and called for soda water. Tbe obliging clerk inquired what syrup they would have In it, when the swain, deliberately leaning over tbe counter, replied: "Stranger, inoney is no object to me put sugar in it."

It was a Chicago lady who, in answer to the query, "What are the Happiest Moments in Life?" replied: "When the Judge has handed you the divorce papers, and the other fellow is standing in front of the court room, with a carriage ready, to convey you to the minister's. Then, if you don't feel happy, your chances are not lively for joy on this side of tbe tomb." 1883 was the year in which a resident of Jefferson, in New Hampshire, abruptly disappeared from business and family, leaving an enfeebled wife and five children in pitiless penury. Nothing was ever seen or heard of him again, until one of his sons, grown to manhood and travelling on business, found him at the head of another family In New York. Forty years pass, and now tho very old man, a widower again and a third time married, totters back with his last wifo to the Now Hampshire village in which his earlier children have children and grandchildren of their own.

O, ye miserable bachelors, who affect to rejolco in your miscalled freedom, listen to gentle and genial old Jeremy Taylor: "If you are for pleasure, marry if you prise health, marry. A good wife is heaven's last, bait gilt to man his angel of mercy minister of graces innumerable hto gem of many virtues his casket of jewels her voice is sweetest music her smile his brightest day her kiss his guardian of innocence her arms the pale of his safety, the balm of his health, the balsam of his life her industry his surest wealth her economy his safest steward her lips his faithful counselors her bosom tbe softest pillow •f his cares, and her prayers the ablest advocates of heaven's blessings on his head."

Mrs. Charlotte Thompson, of New York, recently sued for a separation from her husband, Lucas Thompson. The only acts of violence that she specified were that Mr. Thompson shut the piano cover forcibly upon her bands when she was playing, and tha^ he struck ber on the wrists because she persisted In reading in bed. These charges ho denied, and he to sustained by the servant and others, who show Mrs. Thompson's inattention to her children and her duties. The Judge, after hearing the evidenoe, refbsed to great the petition, stating that the two special acta that resulted in alleged violence to her seemed to him to give the key to the difficulty. She insisted upon playing the piano against his wish when he was at home, Mid insisted on holding her fingers where she knew the lid would come. On tho facts, it seemed to tho Judge that a little restraint of tempor on the part of the plaintiff would relieve her from many annoyances, and the same amount of restraint by defendant would be of like service.
