Tuia the gas down low before leaving the

In th« morning go to the bod-room the Urst thing after breakfast, open the window s, Iwat up the pillows and lay all the bedelotbes to air. Rooms should be left to air at least one boor. If tha weather is very stormy the windows must not be opened. Do not put the bedding where it will show sfrnm the street it looks badly. Hang a nightgown in the closet it is not healthful to roll it up and put it under the pillow.

Before beginning to make the bed carry mway all soiled clothing, towel.*, etc., taking care to dry carefully all damp articlea

Empty all waste water, and after rinsing tfee vessels wash them thoroughly with bit •ads and dry them thoroughly with cloths kept for that purpose. Never wipe toilet sets with the soiled towels.

Take to the bed-room a pall of hot tuds. isn 1, with a sponge and cloth, wash and wipa everything on the washstand. In the xue of a stationary washstand especially the bowl must be carefully shed every -aaortiiog with hot suds or a black um will vettls on ft. Should this occur, scoar the basin with borax aud wat9t\

Fill the pitchers with fresh water and placo clean towe.s on the wcii when nroos »iary.

While doing this work protect your dress •with a coars apron. \ou are now realy to remove this wash your hands and begin jour bed making.

Three things are neceagary to a wellmade bed it should be level, square and amooth.

T« keep it level the mattress, if made of feathois or straw, should be thor ughly shakon up and turned very 'a\ Feata. IN should bo fre uent expose! to the sun and air to keep them swe and dry. If mattress is made of ha or cotton it should be turned twice a wee', once from head to foot and once from side to s'de Mattressw made in two pieces are so easily managed that they an be turned every day.

To make he bed so uare fold the clothes care.ully at the corner and s'des. To make it smooth draw all the clothe^ specially the sp end, very tight.

When you take the clothes off to air the bed dnd when you put them back to make It, stand at tl same side of th.» bed, «thorwiso the clothes may get turned aVout

The lowor sheet should be put on ri^l.t side up, with the wide hem at the top of the bed. Tuck it in smoothly lofore putting on the next sheet.

Put the upper shoot on right rftlo down, so that when it i3 turned over tha right side o' the hem will boon the outside. Allow this sheet to come above the blanliots enough to turn over well.

In putting on the blankets bo careful not to let them come too neartha ton of tbe bed. When double blan ets are used tho openond should be at tho head of the bed. If th blankets are single and narrow the upp.-r one may laid from side to side instead of lengthwise.

If the bedspread is to he removed at night, fold the sheet back over the blan ots and under the spread, which should be tucked in tight all around When tho tproad is let on tho bed tu its top under the blankets and bring tho up or sheet er all, l»yinjr it down smoothly on the out ide. Tuck in t'ae clothes smoo hly on all sides, drawing the apread tlcht and making tho oorncrs square Be careful to have clothe* at tho foot oi the bed folded under the mattressi

Next lay on tho bo ster carefully atul set the pillows evenly against the headboard. If shams are used pin them to tho tops of pillows. Do not stiok pins into the bedstead.

Last, look under the hed to see that none of tho clothes hang down in fright After the bed is made brush up tho room, «sing whisi-breom and dust-pan or carpet* sweeper. Once a week bed-rooms should be thoroughly swept, at which time the beds should bo covered.

Dust daily with a soft cloth. "Remove finger marks from paint or mirrors with cloths wrung out in hot water. AlcoJiol wed instead of water is excellent for cleaning mirror*. Keep tho wo work of a room clean, especially the base-boards and all the wood about the window*. Inside blinds require frequent dusting and brushing.

Thc Ctinnnii of California Widow*. Tbe number of youthful widowi who grat tbe promenades Li a subject of sur prise to the stranger in the city. No statistician has ever compiled figure* bearing •pun this question of the early bereavement of California ladies* But that tb»re is a •uprising frequency of blooming young «QnwD clad in weeds of woo is apparent to evtry observer, the same remark does not apply to the cemeteries*. Tbe widow* who, bearing water-pots and wreathes of iminortaUee, traverse the melaneholy highways of the city of tho dead, are for the most part aoiddleaged women. Occasionally a young mourner is seen in the gremp. but only occasionally. The great majority of young relicts appear in the trappings griff upon

strseta. -A The fascination tills class of females hare fbr the other sex is incomprehensible, but tbare can be no doubt of its existence. Men wiio rarely turn to look after a pretty maid or matron will aimot dislocate tLk neck in peering along the wake of a sable-clad widow. Tbey area dangerous class of persons because the history of humanity show* tbat the woman who buried a husband while she is yet between the ages of 2$ and 25 will wualiy plant another to keep him company before settling down to final matrimony or widowhood. MaUens have a poor chance in the race with widows. To ose a porting phrase, in nine cases out of ten U»e widows trill give them odds and beat th oat. Lean widow* are an except.oo in this state*, and plumpness tit? rcla.

In the east tt Califonsi* widow is the terror of Itfy, because, addai to the atowrtfca of widowhood, is the glamour of «rd booamaa 8o the fair maidssn

of that chQly clime have to take a back seat when any of our crape-shixuded ladies CTOB the continent They aw never too old to marry, their choice lies almost invariably among the very young. Thire are not a few gentlemen in this town to-day who wear fine clothes and tread lightly on the cobbles who would be pouring over the ledger or packing the Califo nia codes about the courts for the usa of their lawyer-mas-ters but for this trait in the constitution of our widows.—San Francis, Wasfcx

Dear Old Grandmother's Cooking. Most of our modern dishes are very delicto a Catherine Owen and Miss Parloa are blessings to mankind, and yet I often wonder why so many of my granimother's ishes are obsolete. Who knows what -cumnoddte"' is/ All I know is that it's a dainty bit Of lean pork ro.led in some kind of a mixture and fried very brown. My knowledge ends here. I may not have be name spelled right, but that Is the way it is pronounced. And "scrappel."—our butcher says he has "scrappel," and such stuff as it is: not tho least earthly resemblance does itbear to the scrappel my gr indmother mada And. how many hou ewivts ma^e "souse in this day and age of the world? It is twenty years since I to "souse that was

l4souso"*

and not a pasty, lumpy, tasteless mixture of pig'3 feet and vinegar. It always reminds me of glue.

Noodle toup is so simply and easily made that anyl ody ought to be able to make it well, and yet I defy Miss Parloa herself to make it so that if will look 4nd taste and smell just like my dear old grandmother5J noqdle soup I rem?mber that her favorite seasoning was "passiy," and it don't seem to me that it is used so very much now. The last noodle soup I ate was at one of the best hotels in America. The noodles were in great, hard, white-looking chunks. Again I have had a string or two of vermicelli or macaroni put into a weak broth and set Leforo me as "genuine noodle soup"

The cookies of the preient day are good— so good, indeed, that I often feci like rebelling when Mrs. Done dolej here out to ma in beggarly lots of four an live at a time. They are good, but they are not like Grandmother Dane's cookies of twenty yars ago. Hers were yellow and half or three quarters of an in -h thick, and all speckled through and through with caraway or anise seeds, and they tasted—well I can't begin to tell how good they did taste. May be it wat because I stole them ttiat tuoy tasted so good.

I sometimes buy "cottage cheese" of our milkman. My grandmother called ,it "swioa. ase." I spell it just as she pronounced it Sho usei to mix it with eg and sugar and spices and make soma kind of a pio with a sweet crust that was ever so good. Who *nows anything about it? Her gingor-bread, ginger cookios an I raised doughnuts ware ihings I like to think about wbe.i I am very hungry. But I never worry my wife with these reflections.—Zenas Dane, in Good Mousekeepiug.

A Plea for the Children.

I am daily surprised to see how many thoughtless, careless mother* thera are, bringing up their little ones (as we might say) hap ha ard, wit.» scarcely a thought of anything teyond tho present Our little folics are entirely creatures of habit, and if good habits aro not formed early, bad ones will certainly bo formed later. Every mother, I caro not wuat her station in life, or hor duty to society, should have the overlit and care personally of her children, and as soon as able after their birth, should bathe, dross, aud feed as nature intended ner own baby. Wo who have done this lor each precious one, know the pleasure anJ satisfaction to be found in the work. This oath should always Le given at tho saraj hour of the morning, then tho littlo one, rired and hungry after it, should be fed, whon it naturally follows a long, quiot nap will bo the result, and thus (to use a common expression) begins tho day "ngat end Lrst' Lot this become a fixed habit and let it once be broken in upon and watch the result

A shorter nap, crosser child, a harder day and worst of all a fretful, worn-out mother. Try tho same experiment with older cliiidren and wliat follows! '1 ha next morning te.li the story. It is harder to get started for school tho Lour for the ruus.c lesson seems n.nger, clothes don't feel right, boous can't bo tounJ, tears aro shxl, and everything gooj wrong, all for the lost hour th night before. Early hours by all eanj for our children and, th so days when our girls are full lieiged young ladies at 13 and U, I feel a if every though.ful moth.'i tJtioul 1 lay this matter to heart an I liolp to keep her daughters, bWeat innocent faced little girls.

Let us put them to bed with their dolls in their arms, and don't laugh at the.n lor codding th.'m,—for, soon e.iough, we shall stretch out our empty arms, groping in vaia for our babias that have grown away •loin U9. To me this seems the saddest ti ue in a mother's lite, and each day let ue pray for strength to guide aright, that wh^n that irno sha 1 come (,as coma it mu^t) they may not get eo far aw^y bui mother's voice and mother'* love can call them back.—Harriet Tremaine Terry in Good Housekeeping.

gome Good Advice to Country Otrls. Before making the plunge into city life country girls should ask themselves what L* really to be gained by it Perhaps in their quiet rural homes some stray advertisement has reached them, prom.aiug to young women high salaries for light work. Hundreds of advertisements are framed for tbe purpose of deceiving the unwary. They accomplish their purposo, however, and large numbers of young girls rush up to the city, dauled by the generous confusion of promise*.

A rl from the farm answers one of these advertisement*. Lifo may h&vj teen slow at home, but there was always good food aad plenty, and there was some roe to care for in the old farm housa W ea she goes to the big city sha flnd that tbe "1 ght work consists in working all day In a bai.ly-lighted and ill-sm iling workshop whe ts scons of other girls and women are employed at wages hardly high enough to keep body and soai togeth r. We know what of. en comes next The girl has .eft home, she is ashamed or unwii ing to return, and she must take the conse ^uencea, one of two thing#—shame or iff^ ring.

Many a girt finds first in tbe frivolities and no tin tbr ini uity of toe street-1 at excitement which regret* and remorse may bed adened. If she is too strong in principle, too pure and elevated in tone to fink down to on.- of tbe pitifu womea o: ths treet, she may find rself in some cod garret, lons y. overworked, despondent and miserable. Better remain at home than ris«c the fai ure hich attends so many gir who to up to th? city in pursuit of high ay for light work. It is the eft dest of a 1 vantare forsaking a cou hoote for tbe il kww and deceptions of a Jorge town.— Ptovkknce Journa.

Tart ta Managing tke Babjv Tbe way to keep tbe baby from becoming "spout"* is to let it cry as little a* possible. It will gain strength of mind to endure its tie essary ills all the sooner if it hi allowed to mffer as little as possible from ills that can to avoided. Its wants should be anticipated. Its sources of discomfort should be removed as soon as tbey arise, without waiting for it to cry It aboutd be prevented is

every way from forming the habit of crying. Study tie expression when it Is tired of playing on the floor take it up aad dance it about the room, and let it look out of the window for a few minutes. In a little while it will be glad to go back and play on the floor again. If it is necessary to resort to discipline, be careful to seize the right moment for it.

If you want the baby to learn to go to sleep without being rocked, choose a day when it has been unusually bright and happy all the morning, wait until twenty minutes or so after the regular hour for its nap, then give a cup of milk particularly sweet and warm and nice, make its little bed soft and cozy, lay it down gently and soothe it with a little kissing end patting, and, if it is not a!ready toomuch spoilt, it wftt only be too boppy to close its eyes in tbe sweetest kind of seep If it does hot, its fit of crying will be as briet and as little injurioos.ap it can ba—Babyhood.

Home.

I never saw a garment too fine for a man or maid there was never a chair too good for a cobbler or cooper to sit in never & house too fine to shelter the human head These elemantB about us, the gorgeous sky, tbe imperial sun, are not too good for the human race. Elegance fits man. Bfrt do we not value these tools of housekeeping a little more than they are worth, and sometimes mortgage home for the mahogany we would bring into it?

I had rather eat my dinner off the bead of a barrel, or dress after the fashion of John the Baptist in the wildernesi, or sit on a blocc all my life, than consume all myself before I get home, and take so much pains with tha outside that the inside was as hollow as an empty nut Beauty is a great thing, but beauty of garments, bouse and turnituro is a very tawdry ornament compared with domestic love. All the elegano in the world will not make a home, and I would give more for a spoonful-d hearty love for whole shiploads of furniture, and all the upholsterers of tbe world could gather together.—Theodore Parker.

Home Before All Other Things I see unrest, discontent, strife and sin I see gi.ls—children in y.sars—from whose cheek the first blush of innooonce, from whose soul the last vestige of youth have vanished, women sold to frivolity, wasting most precious gifts, whose ambition ts no higher object than to mislead and triumph over men I see men grown hard, selfish and wicked, tho slaves of thetr passions, going down to death, with no band to wive—and all for tho lack of a true homa Theu I remember, seeins all this sin and wickednos3, that the home is tha truo kingdom of woman, where her rights can ne er Le dethroned, that a.l pure love, a 1 right thoughts, ^11 re ligions, all governments, if we could have them live and liouri3h, must have their roots beneath the altar.

The Inw of tho Napkii^^-

The law of tbe napkin is but vaguely understood One of our esteemed metropolitan contemporaries informs an eager inquirer that it is bad form to fold the napkin after dinner that the proper thing is tc throw it with negligent disregard on the table Ixsidd the plato, as to lold it would be a reflection on the host, and imply a lamiliarity that would not befit an Invited guest But the thoughtful reader will agree with us that this studied disorder is likely to be a good ddeal more trying to the fastidious hostesB that an unstudied replacing of th nap-da in good order beside the visitor's plate. The proper thing is to fold the fabric with unostentatious care and lay it on the left si to of the plate, far from the liquids, liqueurs, and coffee, and thus te»tify to the hostess that her care in preparing the table has been approciatad—Household Words.

A REALLY NEAT PRINTING OFFICE.

A Field for Women Which Haa Heretofore Been Little Cultivated. There was some talk in a group uptown the other day about the avocations th it are open to women, when a well-known journalist, who was at ona time a printer, sai 1: "There is a newspaper field for women which is very little cultivated It is the conducting of local newspapers, the weekly home papers of the country towns that give the events of the locality in which tbey a.e printed I want to te 1 you what I struck in my travels WLOU I was playing tramp printer. It was in Masjillon, Ohio. The was an office there where a weekly paper was printed which was conducted in all it* departments by women. The proprietois were two sLtoia They were both typesetters. They had a female apprentice, 'ihj elder sister was the editor, but the younger one was a good local writer. They had a 'patent outside' for the paper. All tha rest of the wori these threj persons did They even ran the press on wLi they printed an edition of 900 or 1,000. It waj power pres, one of the drum cylinder kind that turned with a big crank. Occss onal.y they sent out and hired a man turn this press for them on publication day, but oft thay worked the press themselves They were none too rich and tbey sa^pd this expense if possible "The pecudar feature of the office was its extreme neatness. There were no .piles dirt swept up into corners. There was no "pi' under the stands that bore the cases There was a pot or two of flowers in ac.i window and a canary biid san^ in a cag above the type-rack. The old tramps ra ing through the country then used to go in and take a look at tbe office, it was different from anything else they saw any« where. They used to shake their heads, and go off muttering. They never asked for work. Th knew that they couldn spit tobacco juice on the floor of such an o.Lo.-. There was no 'hell box' in which to dum their 'pi' and it didn't seem homelike to them. So th.?y gave it a w.dn berth."

Extravagance in Now York Dinners. Not every one is aware of the oxtent to which extravagance in dinners is carried in Sew York. At a dinner given not long ago by Mr. P—a banker, residing on Ala dson square, what served as "dinner cards'.' for the ladies cost $1.&<0. They consisted of the b.*t quatfJy of wide ribbons, each di.Parent in o.or, and each long enough for a spah The endi were exqui itely painted and elg.*d with an olabo: ately made fringe Onoendof each was drawn over a ring whica wa* fastenei below tho chandelier, and carried to the lady's place for who It was designed These formed a tent ovtr the tab,e, which was very elegant in effect.

Establishing School* for "Volapuk."

A school for Volapuk has bron opened In Paris, and its conferen es ha\ been attended by many city celebrities of ail classes. Vola puk, as is known is the new commercial language invented by M. Schleyer of Constance in M8L It comprises 13,000 words, and is miAi

of roots taken from the Latin,

English, French and German languages, aad is int nded by its advocates to sepersede all other languages as a commercial nvwtinm of information. The words are mostly monosyllables, and all useleet consonants are suppressad

There are Volapuk srbools at Rouen, Bordeaux, Rochefort, and 'iunia Seventy associations aro engaged in thj propaganda in both hemisphere, and Volapu dictionaries have been published in English, French, German, Portuguese and Russian, and ont is being prepared in Chinesa.

Sot 6ome plants in^tho earth at tho top of tho barrel, aud one in each of tho holes. Roll the barrel into a sunny spot, and your strawberry bed is made. It can bo turned around once in a while, so that all sides can get tho sun equally. Two or three barrels of plants like this would supply a small family with berries. They will bo novel and ornamental and useful In small yards where there is no* room for a large bed upoll the ground.

11 ox* Who

Learned to Work.

Governor Palmer, of Illinois, was a country blacksmith once, and began his political career as a constable in Macoupin county. A circuit judge in the central part of Illinois was once a tailor. Tbomaa Hoyne, a rich and eminent lawyer of Illinois, was once a bookbinder. Erastus Corning, of New York, was too lau to do bard labor, and commenced as a shop boy in Albany. When hf applied for employment first be was asktd: "Why, my boy, what con you do!" "On do what I am bid," wai the answer that secured him a place Senator Wilson, Massachusetts, was a shoemaker. Thurlo' Woed was a canal boat driver. Ex-Governor Stone, of Iowa, was a cabinet maker, whK. trade tho lato Stephen A. Douglas ah* worked at in his youth. Large numbers ol men of prominence now living have risen from humble life by dint of industry, without which talent is as useless as a gold coin on a barren island.
