In the oldon times, waahinstciayscame fow and far between,'ebw there is no rc«lianco in history. Four centuries ago people didn't wear clothing which noedcd waHhing orif they did the wrvices of tho dyer were oflener required than those t»f"the laundress. In those days a linon shir was a rarity, entitling it-* possessor to congratulations. None but the wealthy wore underclothing, which was of silk or velvet, neither of which washes well. Night dresses, as now used, tboy had no uo for. as most of them gener ally slept without any gnrmentof the kind. Anno Boleyn's night dresses are described as havinu been made of black and natin velvet, while Queen Elizabeth wore black velvet lined with fur. Queer people! These article came to be called night veils after a while. Shirtp^too were niadoof colored silks, as were also night cap* and kindred articles, which are now made of muterials requiring at lea-t weekly washings. Washerwomen inut have stood a mighty slirn chance lor a livelihood in those quaint o'd days: but, probably, there weren't as many then as now.

This is in very tiuth an ago of dress, almost of dress worship. Men and wo iuen of society who can not dress drop out of it, and those who can readily take their places, and so this gay. glorious old world wags on. Men scoff at those who dre«s, and, scoffing, dress them wives. To dress well means to bo some body to.dress poorly means to bono body—that is, in the eye of society—and tlin "nobody" knows it better than any body else. Say what j*ou will, there is nothing that so disarms and utterly depresses the sensitive nature as conscious inferiority of oress. Until a dejtreoof lamillarity with the world baa been acquired, or a man has learned that he has a recognized place in it, his dress either holds him up in his own self-respect, or lets him down into abject sell-contempt in which condition he isn't wojth acontinentul.

IIO W SHALL WE DRESS. Mrs. Henry Waril Beecher, in the Household Department of the Christian Union, has an interesting article on dress in which sho says: "In making purchases it is economy to selm't ns good articles as one's income will warrant. To buy a needless and ilimsy article becauso'tho price is unus uallv low Is wasto and not economy.

Kr daily use tho dress should be chosen with reference lo the work that muht be d-no while wearing t. Make it neat and comtortable for such work wituout rwgaru Lo style unless, by some unusual Ireak, fashion may have adopt«d something simple and convenient, To s»»e girls sail through a kitchen or bend over wash-tub inn trailing wrap per. sweeping tho dirt from the floor or soaking in tho suds, should preve»t moro sensible women from giving the warranto! their example to those under their iniluemre.

None should marry who cannot begin life with enough to enable them to dress with neatness, modestv, comfort and good tusto without unduly encroaching upon their income. No article is cheaper for being ugly. First be sure of the price, then examine the quality of the goods to be purchased."

Ginghams and calicoes aro tho most serviceable for wdrkhig or morningdrosses, because they can bo washed. Tho less cotton there is in the woolen fabrics the longer they will last without looking shabby.

If a jjerson must l© much in the kitchen or finds it necessary to attend closely to the cooking, woolen dresses are

ho

difficult to clean that if they are used it is prudent t» hare a ions sackapron, mado with sleeves, reaching almost to the bottom of the skirt,

It is commonly held that at least one silk dress is indispensable. Wo see no pressing necessity for it—one can be truly respectable without even ono silk dress. Our American silks are the most enduring and eoonomioal of any kind of silk and ono dress will outlast two or throe of other materials, unless it may be those heavy silks beyond the reach of persons in modornte circumstances, costing frrom fG to fa a yard."

HOW TO DO THE WASH ISO FOR .1 FA MIL OF EIGHT WITH A SWEET SMILE OS YOUR FACE.

First, begin the day before. Once an old lady was hearing s«mo one read: "In tho beginning Oo*i created the heavens and the earth. And tho earth was without form and void and darkness was upon tho face of the deep. And Ood said let there be light, and then* was light, etc. And the evening and morning were the llr** day." "Well," said she, "If tho Lord iid all that in one lay he must have begun the day before."

Yes If vou wivjit to get yonr washing out early, and.make folks think vou aw jwuiart, you must begin the day before. Uriug in all your tuiw, set then) on your wash bench, it von have one, (if not, old chairs with tho bottoms punched out will do assort your clothes, putting ail the tine white things in one tub and all your coarse white things In another, and all the foot rags and ore ml Is in an old ••fish kit turn out yonr light and go to jbed.

Next morning, while getting breakfast, put your water on to heat let it loll. I'm in plenty of wwip. Don't be naving of your soap, it's cheap enough, while arms and backs aro dear. I consider it bad policy to save soap. Once I iknew a woman that always allowance*! Jiorself to a pint ef soap for a wash, and if the soap gave out she waatoed the rest of thev clothos without ftoap, She di«4» and left two barrels of soap, and her •'successor fn office" did not neod to make soap for years. Therefore, 0*0 •plenty of uoap. Put yonr *oap«ttthr potlMig het on all yonr clothes? then clear away the breakfast things, get the children ofl to school, ana after awhile, when the sods are oooi eno«gh, rub out your elotbett. Don't rtib very hard and put them on to boll, and let tbetn boll jgood. If you get all the eiothM washed •before the ftrstooil done yon can put a rice pudding in the oven to bake,

and sit down and read your paper, When the clothes are boiled done, take them up in plenty of rain water, wash out, ana rinse in blue water and hang to dry. You should be done, on ordinary days, at ten o'clock but if the baby is crasser than common, or Fred burns his foot, or the cistern pump la frozen up, I givo you till twelve, never later.

KNO WLEDOE WORTHKNO WINO, To Cure Earache.—The following is said to be a never-failing cure for earache: "Take a bit of cotton batting, put upon it a pinch of black pepper, gather it up and tie it, dip it in sweet oil, and insert It into the ear. Put a flannel bandage over the bead to keep it wan:*..'' It will give immediate relief.

To Relieve Pain.—In cases of a sudden jar, knock, or jam of the hand or tlNger?-, immediately after the blow prtss the injured part with the uninjured band, say between tho thumb and forefinger, and gradually let up on it. It will alwRys remove the pain, and generally any swelling or pain that might occur under the circumstances.— [Scientific American.

To Clean Glass.—This raodo of cleaning fiae glass gives it great brilliancy. Take tine powdered indigo, dip into it'a moistened linen rag, smear over the glass with it, and then wipe it oif with a perfectly dry cloth. As a substitute lor this, line sifted ashes, applied by a rag dipped in spirits, will answer just as well. Spanish liito is apt to mako the glass rough and injure it.

To Clean Garments.—Wet aspongn in warm water, and squeeze it out till dry then sponge one place after another until all the garment has been cleansed. Ail the dust and soil will be absorbed by the sponge. But if the garment is very much soiled, wash the sponge In clean water several times, squeezing it as dry as possible by wrapping it in a pieoe of black alpaca. T"is method of cleansing Is more effectual than a handbrush, and many spots will disappear by the use of pure water.

Scarlet Fever.—In this disoae tho parent and the school teacher aro often concerned to known bow long a time must elapse before it is safe to admit the convalescent children to mingle with other children. And tho answer is, that for a month, at least, the body of a scarlet fever patient is casting off scales from the skin, and from the nose, throat, bowels, and kidneys discharges which are poisonons and convey the disease. The chief danger, however, arises from the skin, as this is the main outlet for the blood poison to escape henco every scale it throws off can ,carry the ,jnfeetion. ,Vi,. 4

The cow is a noble and human'* animal. In proof of which statement we give the following incident: A farmer's wife in a Yorkshire (England) town was recently assaulted by her husband in a field where there was a cow that the woman had greatly petted. On seeing the man beating his wife and otherwise maltreating her, the cow camo chargingup the field, and attacked thf man with puch ferocity that he was glad to retreat. Tho cow then took up a defensive position by the woman's side, and stood perfectly still until she had sufficiently recovered to take refuge from her husband. ,^'Mh

It is great year for the old man. Grandfathers who have been neglected and Kiade to feel that tbey wore in the way, and wished boy were dead, who have long been tbrust away in tho kitchen and left to mumble to themselves in the chimney corner, are astonished by being brushed up of an evening and brought into tho parlor, where thev are shown oft to the company as «sentennial relics. "Grandfather, you knew Washington, didn't you screams a granddaughter in his car, for he is very deaf. "Yes, ves," says strand father, "the (-iiii'rel borer'd a chaw terbaccer of nie many and many a lime!" The old man is going to Philadelphia, sure.

This is how the circle of evonts was completed. A Maine woman la*t year lost a gold ring in a straw bed the straw was emptied into the barn yard, and, with the manure, was spread upon a field. In the fall the woman found her ring in a boiled potato that came from the field.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAiL:

GOLDEN WORDS.

Prejudice is the child of Ignorance, When clouds are seen, wise men put on their cloaks.

No man evor lost his honor except he who bad it not. Prejudice squints when it looks, and lies when it talks.

Who bravely dares muJsA.«Qmetimes risk a fall.—[Smollett. 1 oetrine is nothing but tho pkin of truth set up and stuffed.

Virtue has many preachers, but few martyrs,—[Uelvetius. Many delight more iu giving of presents tbau in paying their debts.

Men who fish for compliments don't care how dirty the water is. Show may be easily purchased but happiness is a home-made article.

Troubles aro like dogs the smaller they are tho more they annoy you. lie who stumbles twice over the same stone deserves to break his bones.

An angry man opens hi* mouth and shuts up bis eyes. It is right to be contented with what we have, but never with what wo are.

Lile is like wine lie who would drink it pure must not drain it to the dregs. Everyone complains of tho badness of his memory, but nobody of his ju ig-riK-nl.

Who has no inward beauty, none perceives, though all around be beautiful, —[Dana.

It often happens that those of whom we speak least on earth are best known in heaven,

Men will wrangle for religion^ write for it, fight for it, die for it anything but—liv# for it.

There aro not gtiod things enough in lifo to indemnify us for the neglect of a single duty.

No man over offended his own conscience, but first or last it was revenged upen him for it.

We know accurately only when wr know little with knowledge doubt in creases.—[Goethe.

Thoso who have fow affairs to attend to are great speakers. Tho loss men think the moreihov talk.

It is always safe to learn, even from our enemies seldom safo to venture to instruct evon our friends.

In proportion as nations get more corrupt, more ciisgraoo will attach to poverty, *nd more respcct to wealth.—[Colton.

Unman experience, like tho storm lights of a ship at sen, too often illuminates only the path we have passed over.—[Coleridge.
