A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

SA VINO MOTHER.

The farmer sat in bis caey chair Between the Are and the lam plight'« glare Hi* face vu ruddy and full unci fair. Hi* three small boy*In the chimney nook tinned the line* or a picture book His wife, the pride of his home and heart, Baked the biscuit and made the tart, I.«nld the table and steeped the tea, Deftly, swiftly, silently Tired and weary and weak and faint, Hlie bore her trials without complaint, Like many another household saint— Conlent, all selfish bliss above, In the patient ministry

of Jove

At last, between the clouds of smoke That wreathed hi* lips, the husband spoke: "There'* taxes to rai*e, an* int'rest to pay— And ef there should come a rainy day, Twould be mighty handy, I'm bound to nay, T* have sumpthln* put by. For folk* must die, An there's funeral bill* and gravest una to buy— Knough to swamp a man, purty nigh. Bcftide* there's Edward and Dick and Joe To be provided for when we go. Ho 'f I waayou, IH tell ye what I'd du: I'd be savin' of wood a* ever I could— Kxtry fires dont du eny good— I'd le savin' of noje, an'savin' of Ue, And run tip some candles once in awhile. I'd rather be sparin' of coffee an' tea,

For fctuutr i* high, And all to buy,

And 1* good edough drink for me I'd

IKcider

kind o' careful about my clo'es

And look out sharp how the money goesGewgaws 1* useless, niitur know* Kxtry trimmin' 'H the bane of women. I'd well off the best of the cheese and honey, Aod ckk* if a* good, nigh about. the money And ow to the carpet you wanted new— 1 gucMt we can make the old one du. And a* for the washer, an' sewiu' machine, Them smooth-tongued agent* so pesky mean, Vou'd better net rid of 'em. slick and clean. What do they know about women's work? IJo they cAlkilate women was born to shirk 1" Dick and Edwaix! and little Joe Hat in the corner in a row. They saw the patient mother go, On ceaseleM errands to and fro, They saw that her form was bent and thin, Her temples gray, her checks sunk In, They saw the quiver of lip and chin— And then will) a wrath he could not smother, Outspoke the youngest, frailest brother— "You talk of savin' wood an' lie,

An'tea an' sugar. all the while, But you never talk of savin' mother!"

TWO METHODS OF HOUSE CLEANING. Mre. Elizabeth Hoynton Harbert, tho editress of Woman's Kingdom in the Chicago Inter-Ocean, in Home thoughts suggested by the llrst of May, says:

We hod foolishly thought to write a sermon upon the duty or cheerfulness and patience and long Buffering—a moving sermon—pertinent to these days and preceding and subsequent to the 1st of May, ns though any of our readers would stop long enough during this busiest season to hoar us sermonize or theorire! In fact, wo had our "Firstly" nil prepared to road in this manner: There is probably no poriod during the entire yeur when there is so much need of that rnre virtue, choerfulness and genuine good nature, as during tho annual house-cleaning season. Let anyone resolutely provided a good stock of patience, keep their thoughts fixed oti the result, and not upon the intermediate stages, and tho battle is half over. But, upon sccond thought, we deem it much wiser to tell a plain story of tho manner in which wo hare witnessed this annual battle with the dirt waged in two families, and this was

THE

KIH8T

METHOD:

Tho evening previous to the taking up of tho first tack, tho mother, father, and hence tho children, #11 lookod cross. "Oh, dear! how I do dread to begin," exclaims the wife, and the husband exclaims,. "It's all nonsense anyhow." "I won't crimp my hair to-night," oxclaitna tho wifo, "as I won't be 'at home' to anybody to-morrow." "Humphrey!" comes in "subdued echoes from being tho ovening paper, "to nobody but her husband."

Tho following morning the wife resurrects an old faded wrapper, twists her hair into a surprisingly small knot, ties up her head in a horridly unbecoming brown veil, and, in fact, goes down to breakfast looking so surprisingly homely that it makes husband and children cross to look at her. Tho thoughtless husband exclaims. "Well, Marie, we are growing old, ain't wo?" and the fun Is all over for that day—the hou««cleauitig storm has bur*t. ',She'' suggests stove-pipes, and "he" resurrects an old suit, long since out grown, and returns, sans collar, and looks so astonishingly ugly that sho wonders how she ever could navo thought liim handsome and so the morn lug wanes, dinner-time approaches, and tne order is given, "Bridget, don't take tlmo to cook much to-doy. You need not make any fresh ooffce, just give us a cold lunch." Tired and hungry tho weary housekeepers work on, growing crosser and crosser, until life seems a burden and a huge bonfire desirable,

MKTHOB.

Now. wa know a home where another method has been triad with gratifying success, and which we know yeu will accept as a helpful suggestion, and though you may be incliued to laugh we do not know of anything better one can do for their neighbors than to incite a genuine laugh about the 1st of May.

The wife ronaluded that any woman could be cheerful and pleasant when everything went smoothly, and hence if one was ever to be a Hero, he must improve the house-cleaniag season, and this was the way she planned her campaign.

In the first place, since everything .about the house will be unattractive for "the next few days, I will at least make myself presentable, hence a freah white apron was donned over alight wrapper a becoming blue veil made into a dust protecting turban, and yes a fresh carnation pink fastened at her throat and in her hair. "Why Marv, how vouttg and freah vou look," exclaimed the somewhat surprised husband, as this wise little wife entered the breakfast-room. "You area genuine comfort, anyhow, and I know that flower is worn for me to-day and I appreciate it," The stovepipes won't be naif so "depraved to-day, and the battle was half won. "Bridget, make a good

of coffee,

boll plentv of eggs, and broil the steak nicely. When people are tired, good, wholesome food Is unusually niccasasnr. And yon will find a few freah flowers la my room for Use table.*'

A little thing, yon sav Yes, but of such llule things is toe kingdom of domestic peace and happiness crested.

Although the dining-room carpets mav be the hands of the carpetshaker, the curtains gone to the laundry yet have a wt£l-cooked dinner, with a lew flowers to brighten the dishevelled room, end the terrors of house-cleaning will be greatly mitigated.

But let a wife look as homely as she

coffee and cold potatoes, and, despite the be*t resolutions, life won't seem as rose-colored as it did dating the honeymoon.

And the wife who can rise superior to the annoyances and discomforts and fatigue of house-cleaning will doubtless bestow upon her home the benediction of cheerfulness for the rest of the year. And nothing is more needed in our American homes than genuine cheerfulness.

THE BATTLE OF THE BROOMS.

Clara Francis Prairie Fanner. Just now the domestic queen is on the warpath. We hear the shrill tones of feminine command, the sweep of the broom, the clatter of the dust-pan, the steady, thump of the flagellating stick, and the fitful trapping of the tack-ham-mer. With cobwebby pennons of victory, and a fiorish of dust-cloths, towelhelmeted ranks charge threugh the house, swooping down on the weak and the unwary, anJ some they down, and some they drive to destruction.

By and by when the victory is won, when not even the ghost of a dust-speck is left to fight sgainst, and calm-eyed peace emerged from calico, aprons and crimp.ing-pins, sits onco more beside the family hearth-stone, everybody will rejoice in the spic-and span, atmosphere which pervades the house from attic to cellar.

Except to those housekeepers who have joined the ranks of the great Unneat, this annual upheaval appears in the light of necessity so inevitable that wo women submit cheerfully, and "tear up," and "set to rights," with jealous haste, not because we want to, but be cause we must. As for man, the benighted, the very thought of a carpet coming up, or a stove-pipe comingjdown puts him out of sorts. It would seem that for the sake of quiet and comfort he would prefer to be like tho people in old-fashioned stories, who "lived in peace and died in grease, and were buried under a lump of tallow."

If you want a specimen of a man's housekeeping, just look at tho barn. Do you suppose the dust and cobwebs gathered there have ever encountered a broom, or the window panes been relieved of an atom of dirt? Now if a woman had charge of that building the walls and ceilings would certainly nave an occasional sweeping, and the windows would at least be clean enough to see through, and the first man who found time to whittle a stick would find himself armed with a whitewash brush. But houses must be cleaned even if husbands do grumble of oourse they will anyway, and to tell the trath some of them have just cause when for instance house cleaning means across and collarless wife, a carpetless, draughty house, a week of cold dinners, and a succession of minor mishaps and miseries, winding up with coughs and colds and may be a doctor's bill, it is no wonder it grows to be a bugbear. Such fanaticism is nearly out of date now. We women have learned the truth of the old adago "the more haste the less speed," in this respect at any rate, and most of us are content to go about our spring work sensibility and systematically, taking one room at a time and leisurely completing it before beginning another. As a preparatory' step, closet, trunks and drawers ought to have a thorough overhauling. Tkoro ia r»n plum in a house that needs purification more than an unventilated closet clothing that has been hanging long in such a place is unfit to wear until it has in some way been restored to freshness.

All woolen garments and furs should bo well sunned, beaten and carefully examined to make sure that they are froe from moths if afterwards thoy are put diroctly into paper bags and pasted up, or even tied up securely in paper and packed away, they will be safe until they are needed again. If there is the least sign of moth about them it is best to keep them where they can have a weekly brushing and examination.

The moth miller flies and lays its eggs during May and June. It is of course necessary that things should be put away bofore that time, and many consider it wisdom to examine such articles in July. If packed as directed, in a tight trunk or chest, and there is no doubt about their perfect cleanliness, tho latter precaution may be dispensed with. The seems and cracks of packing lioxes should have strong paper pasted over them but if there is an empty liquor cask to bo had use that instead one can ask for no better pasking case.

At the risk of offending oars pollto I would say in regard to tne festive bedbug that "there is nothing more disagreeable to his constitution than Persian Insect Powder. If fresh and genuine, a few applications with an Insect-gun will require scarcely any time and prove more effectual than any thing else, for the reason that in addition to being certain death, it reaches cracks and hiding

Ele.

laoee that would otherwise be inacceasi-

This same powder will kill moths, flies, mosquitoes, ants, and cockroaches. Powdered borax scattered plentifully in their haunts will drive away the latter, and gum camphor wrapped in and laid on the closet shelves perse some varieties of anta. Where a carpet is found to be in fee ted with moths, wash the floor with hot soap sads and when dry bruah it with spirits of turpentine about a yard wide all around the room, then after the carpet is down, wring a strip of muslin out of alcohol, lay It on the carpet and preeB with a hoi iron until dry. Proceed ia this manner all around the room and if the carpet is properly swept you will have no further trouble. If moths are in upholstered furniture use the insect powder. It will kill them, sure.

a paper rill cUi-

Paint and varnish are not expensive articles, and they are so easily applied that old furniture can be made to look like new with next to no trouble: it should be remembered, however, that every article must be thoroughly cleaned with" hot water and soap, ana if necessary a little washingsoda, before painting o'r varnishing. To clean wall paper, cover a smooth Mock of wood with two or three thisknesses ef canton flannel, fteecv side out. When the carpet is up, dip this block into dry whiting and rub the paper lightly with the soft aide, doing a breadth at a time so as not to skip anv. When all is finished brash the wail with a soft doth fastened over the brown. If paper has been spotted with or hair oil, bruah the Main with varnish, to prevent the grease striking through, then patch it, cutting it In some figure to exactly match.

All stained places coming from leaky roofs should be coated over with the same aheJlac varnksh before whitening ceilings or walls otherwise the stains will strike through.

To whiten walla, scrape off all old whitewash that is rough or scaly and wash the walks with a solution of two

white glue for twelve hours in eold water. Drain and place it in a tin pail, cover with freah water, and set the in a kettle of boiling water. Wo melted stir into the glue eight pounds of whiting and water enough to make as thick as common whitewash blue the water slightly before using. Apply evenly with a good brush the excellence of the work as well as the ease of doing it, depends greatly on the brush. The best will be found cheapest in the end.

DUST.

A SCIENTIFIC VIEW OF THE NUISANCE

Thereis perhaps nothing in nature so variable in composition and character as dust as it is wafted before the breeze and is more or less abundant in every foot of air we breathe. From dwellings it is composed of cast-off scurf skin from the Doditss of the inmates, mixed with lint from wearing apparel and soil brought in on the feet, together with soot from imperfect combustion, and a host of other incidental compounds, many of which are living germs floating about in the Mr to find a suitable spot to germinate. From the fields it ia the powdered fibre of decomposing vegetation, mixed with clay, fine sand and manure. From the streets and roads it is pulverized slate and stone mixed with excrementitious matter dropped in travel with its parasitic growth. All these dry particles of attenuated matter, called dust, of infinite variety and complex composition, raised in the air and wafted by the breeze, often amount to many tons weight in a limited area. Inhaling, as we do, many cubic feet of air every hour, there is taken into the lungs vast quantities of this protean form of solid matter, where it clogs up the air cells, and must of necessity interfere with the functions of serating the blood. Besides its mechanical obstruction there may sometimes be poisonous substances in the dust that cause diseases of the lungs, and others more obscure. What becomes of the dust that goes into the lungs with the air breathed? Some dry, windy days of spring, there must be pounds and pounds of it carried into the air cells. These are questions all important to health, and are studied as sanitary science. There is always more or less dnst in the dry atmosphere, though often invisible, except as seen in aBuubeamof a darkened room, or the blue tint of the atmosphere seen at long range from the tops of high mountains, the extreme tenuity of the particles reflecting only on theUue ray of sunlight.

Dust is a very disagreeable thing to have about, and the careful housekeeper is not content when a particle can be found at rest on any artide of household furniture.

ABOUT MOTHS.

The destruction caused by these little pests can only be counted by millions yoarly, and they are the plague of every housekeeper. Unless you hermetically seal a cask or box, you can scarcely keep the miller out, as she will crawl through a good sized pinhole. Therefore we must nse something offensive, and the writer has found nothing so effective and so cheap as petroleum paper, or even the common tar roofing paper will answed. Buy your paper in rells, cut in sections long enough to cover the inside, the bottom and the sides, and lap over on the. top of the box. All of the inside of the box must bo covered, and on the inside of this again, place wrapping paper to prevent the contact of nice clothing with the petroleum paper. Use a large box—no

Bring tho paper up which has been hanging ever the sides of the box, and let it cover tho whole do that the miller cannot enter without crawling over the petroleum paper, which she will never ao. Nail on the cover of the box, and your dothlng is safe for three years if you want to leave it that long. It is much cheaper and does not evaporate like camphor, and the carbolic acia in it seems to act like an antiseptic on the animal fiber of the wool to preserve and make it healthful.

ADVERTISING CHEATS. Providence Advertiser. It has become so common to write the begining of an elegant, interesting article and then run it into somo advertisement that we avoid all such cheats and simply call attention to tho merits of Hop Bitters in as plain honest terms as possible, to induce people to give them one trial, as no one who knows their value will ever use anything elsa.
