A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

HOUSEHOLD MA TTERS.

"No dwelling i» families.

big enough for two

It is pernicious to breathe through the mouth, sleeping or waking. Bed curtains have gone entirely out of use, and window curtains are going.

It is better to pay for healthful amuse--xnent and recreation than for doctor'u bills.

The boarding house is a wayside stopping place, anil leads to unrest and waste of energy.

Don't give opiates to children nor induce them to sleep under any sort of falso pretenses.

All things considered, including moral and sanitary advantages, it is far cheaper to keep house than to board.

Children, until they reach their seventh year, shouldn't be disturbed in their sleep. It is a crime to kiss a sleeping baby.

The support of a large family costs far less relatively than that of a small one. Thus for example: Fifteen persons may bo fed at the rate of $3 per head weekly two poreons, however, could not be oatercd for, on tho same scale, at much less than $•" per head.

ROAST SIRLOIN OF BEEF.—'The name has remained long after the thins has disappeared. Wo speak of a roast sirl.iln of beef, but roasting-jack and turnspit havo lied away before the presence ©t' cooking stove and range. Now our sirloins must be baked, oven for a Christmas dinner. Chooso a joint weighing from fourteen to sixteen pounds, from a young and fat beef. Having laid it in the dripping pan, tenderloin downward, with the long thin end curved under in such a way that the top of tho beef will present a nearly flat surface, dredge it slightly with flour and put tibout three tablespoonsful of boiling water in tho bottom of tho pan, setting it in a very hot but not burning oven. As soon as the surface of the beef is so browned that tho juices will not readily escape, allow the oven to cool to a moderate degree of heat. Baste the beef frequently with its own dripping. From lour to four and a half hours in a lirst quick and then moderate oven will bo required to cook the beef so that it shall be at once juicy and done. Too many cooks mistake raw beef for rare. It requires the nicest judgment in the management of the fire to secure a joint that shall be well browned—not burned where tho -juice shall follow the knifo, whilo tho meat is cooked to the centre. When the becfisdone, sprinkle with salt and popper. Empty the pan of all tl dripping pour in some boiling water slightly salted, stir it about and strain over tne meat.—[Western Rural.

SOAP.—It is astonishing how little heed is paid in our present system of education to inculcating correct knowledge of tho practical questions of our every-day life. We listened only a few days ago to a discussion concerning the nature of soap, which, for tho first time, made us aware how any intelligen' persons there are who have not tho most remote idea of what soap really is. All dirt consists in the first place of dust, a tine, dry powder containing almost all known substances in greater or lesser quantities, and produced by 'he endless friction incessantly going on in all parts of tho world. This dust, falling on dry surface, remains a line powder, and can be swept ofl' with a broom or a cloth, leaving the object precisely as clean as before. If it falls upon a surface wot with moisture it forms a paste, which becomes.a solid cako when dry. and which, when dry, can bo ruubed off, leaving tho object almost, if not entirely, as clean as before. If our clothing or our skin were perfectly dry, we should clean it perfectly by morely sweeping off tho dust. If our clothing or our skin were wet with moisture, wo should cleati it by rub ing or brushing as soon as tho moisture hail evaporated, and the clothing or skin, had become dry In the one case we should sweep off the dust: in the other wo should rubor brush it off. But our clothing or our skin arc neither perfectly dry nor wet with umUturo. The perspiration from tho pores of our skin contains a fatty substance, which mvor dries, and which more or loss penetrates all ourclothing. When dust falls on our skin and clothing, it is held th»re by this fatty substance, which prevents us from getting rid of tho dust by either sweeping or rubbing. Wo can only wash it off. But tho fatty substance which holds the dust will uot allow the water to get at tho dust, and all tho water in tho world can not wash tho dust off a humaH skin or human clothing. The fatty substance must first lie removed. A littlo lye, or alkali a mi Moral substanco, possesses the peculiarity that when it comes in contact with grease or fat, it renders it soluble in water. Apply lye and water to tlio skin, and tho grease becoming soluble in water, is mined lately dissolved, tlio dust Is no longer held by the grease, and can be washed off with water. Soap is nothing but lye in a form convenient for use. It is lyo mixed with groaso. The cleaning part of soap is the lye the grease which is mixed with it merely facilitates the rubbing by which the lye is everywhere brought in contact with the article to be cleaned.

It ought to bo- understood that the passage of the ear does not require cleaning by ua. Nature undertakeathat task, and, in the healthy state, fulfils it perfectly. Her means for cleansing tho ear is tho wax. Perhaps the reader has never wondered what becomes of the wax. I will tell him. It dries np into thin fine scales, and these peel off one

bv one, from the surface of the passage, antLftll «t imperceptibly, leaving lma perfectly clean, smooth *hthealth the passage of the oar dlrtv, but, if we attempt to

face. In is never __ clean it, wo inf-dlbly make it so. —by a strange lack of justice, it would acorn, which, however, has no doubt a deep justice at the bottom—the host people, those who love cleanliness, suffer most, and good and careful ones do a mischief negligent ones avoid. Washing the ear out with soap and water is bod it keeps tho wax moist when it ought to become dry and scaly, increases its quantity unduly, and makes it absorb the dust with which the air always abounds. But th« most hurtful thing is introducing tho corner of the towel, screwed up. and twisting it round. This does more barm to ears than all other mistakes together. It drives down the wax upon the membrane, much more than it gets it out.

addition

al grease being already mixed with the lye, is of course solublo in water, and is immediate!v washed off after it has served its purpose of carrying the lye wherever it is wanted. The fatty perspiration holds the dust, the lye or the soap dissolves tho fat and enables the w«ter wash away the dust.

CwtOTTB was an habitual stam

merer and pwtty ready-witted. He was seat to paint a algn one day, which was to be a representation of a bear. He forgot to pat oil in the paint. The job was finished but that nl&bt It rained, and of oourse the bear was washed off. Tain was sent for, and he was asked his opinion of the cause of it. "O," says iW, "ye sud hae lettin' me p-put a chain r-round his neck, as I tan Id ye. and it w-widna hae been washed art." On another occasion a barber wanted something more than mere "barber" on his sign, and Tarn's opinion was asked.

44Wert,"

answers Tam, "I think ye sud

p-put b-bar-b-barity." lie was at a gentleman's house painting, one day,and it was Vermillion red he was using. Tho servant, a pook-pitted young woman, came up to him, and, says she, "Tam, ye micht paint my cheeks wi' that." "P-pent yer cheeks wi' that, lassie?" quoth Tam "they'd n-nood tae be p-puttied first."

HUGELY DISGUSTED WITH THE SEX. Tho peculiarities of the Nebraska girls tho following will illustrate: A young ladv, while crossing a pasture, kor long crimson scarf waving in the winds, was noticed by an old gentleman sheep belonging to nele Stephen. The waving scarf was accepted as a challenge. The result was, as soon as tho young lady got up, she was landed again a dozen feet, each timo nearer thofenco, until sho finally got out. A young gent of Plattsmouth, who had called on her a few times, called again the following Sunday. Tho dignified young lady told the gent he need not call again, as she was thoroughly disgusted with the whole male sex.

EXTRA VAQANVE IN NEW YORK. In a recent sermon, Talinage said: A ctatician has estimated that there are in New York and Brooklyn 4,500 women who oxpend annually $2,000 each in dress. It is no raro thing when the wedding march sounds to see dragging through the aisles a bridal dress that has cost?1,000 or $1,500. Things havo come to such a pais when we cry over sin we wipe the tears away with a $150 pockethandkerchief.

DANDR UFF.

There are many persons troubled with dandruff to such an extent that it almost becomes lothsome to them, and to overcomo this uncleanly disorder of the scalp would give a good deal. It is a disease which ought to have immediate attention, and persons neglecting it will regret their negligence in after life. We know of no way to so effectually cleanse the scalp as by following our directions closely. From personal experience we write this. Directions: In the beginning comb the hair with a fine comb thoroughly, and then wash the head with a soap-suds consisting of rain water and white castile soap. After drying the head with a towel as dry as can get it, use DR. HEDGES' CO-

A KREMOLLA and you will find your cure will be certain. Sold by druggists.
