WOMAN AND HOME.

HINTS CONCERNING THE USE AND CARE OF KEROSENE LAMPS.

iMret of Good Discipline Among Children—The Health Officers of Home— PunlsIimcJit—Table Planner*—Perfumes —air*. Caster—School Reform.

Of all misunderstood things in daily life, the use of the kerosene lamp probably stands at the head. First, a lamp is bought and fitted for use, and then filled day after day, and after a longer or shorter period does not give an good light as it used to then corne complaints to the oil man or grocer about the quality of tho oil, when a little reason and judgment used would remedy tho fault and remove the cause of complaint. If persons using a lamp would remember that the lamp is a machine combining the furnace and pump, and endeavor to learn tho principle of using oil, much trouble would bo saved, for while no one expects to use a large machine without learning how to work it, any one can use a lamp.

Now, the wick is the pump to bring oil from the front to tho blaze, and as there is always more or les3 dust and dirt in the oil. the wick soon becomes clogged up and cannot pump oil fast enough for a good light, so a complaint is inado whan a new wick would have removed tbo cause. Then, as we burn oil out, the lightest parts burn, and leave the heavy oil, and as it is filled day by day the oil gradually gets so heavy that the draft is not strong enough to pump it up, and then the oil should be all turned out of the lamp and it refilled with fresh oil. Then tho burner, after a time, gets gummed up and the even flow of oil is disturbed and causes a srnoky, -uneven light that is very vexatious. I have hml burners brought into my store condemned, and a now one wanted, when by two minutes' work they were made as good as now. Then when the wick needs cutting, •omo scrapo it off, others cut it so uneven that it makes a pointy blaze which so provokes one that he wants to condemn it.

Tho burner is provided with a great number of small holes to provide air, to tho end tW. perfect combustion may take place, and not to collect dust and dirt until they are all clogged up, and a smoky, bad-smelling light is the result. Now if in using kerosene we fill the Limp up with whitooil every da^, and onoo a week ompty back the oil ia tho lamp and use a new wick, cut oven and true, once a week or two weola, and be sure the lamp burner ia clean, and a clear, nice polished chimney used, wo will find that the keroeene lamp is a cheap and great luxury, and not, as it often the case, a necessary nuisance which has to bo used for lack of anything better. For a little care, daily, in using lamps, makes all the difference between luxury and nuisance.—J. B. Samoht, in The Analyst.

Tho Secret of Good Discipline. The secret of good discipline lies in adaptation of forces to the nature of the child. Consideration of peculiarities must bo made even in

vory young children. Seldom two children can bo govorned in the same way and Is a duty of parental to study their individualities, othorwiso there is no discipline, but the care given aggravates ovil tendencies in them. There can bo no doubt that much of the naughtiness in children is unintentionally taught, or developed in them. When grown pooplo are so far from perfect, it seems unfair that every apparent fault of tho child should be mado so much of and many times what noma wrong in a child is only a natural act under tho oxciting conditions, and if we take timo to examine tho matter we shall bo more just. Injustice and weakness in parents make sad havoc with children's characters. There ia a strong latent force in children which we must strive to control wo can not change its nature, but by strength and patience, and thoughtfulnoss we may guide it

Ovor-dueipline is as harmful as the lack of disoiplino. It may be worse, for if a child is let aiono, there is a chance for a natural development for good but if a child is continually prodded with rules and directions, it may grow rebellious, its obstinacy is aroused, and its finer feelings are blunted. Many a time by forbidding we create a desire as we invito falsehood by prohibiting something .that the child will do thoughtlesuly, and can oidy refrain from doing by constant selfoontrol oud often tho thing forbidden is of little comoquonco comi*irod with the train of ovils its prohibition introduces. When the child has disobeyed it is punished tho noxt time it diaoboys it naturally tolls a falsehood to avoid punishment Children are morally and physically cowards, and the greatest care is norossary to prevent this weakness from lwcoming a large element in their character.

A thoughtless, wrong act is not so lad as willful disolxxlionce. We may give a child many opportunities to do wrong in tho thoughtless way. It does not follow that bocau.s9 a mother slips over many of tho small misdemeanors in a child's life that she is without law or ordor. The strength of his influence is ncodod for the more important occasions. Lot a child revolve iu its own orbit when it is out of order, replace it with as little disturbance as irossibl®. It will live its own life in spite of everything, and it is tho duty of parents to see that the conditions surrounding it are conducive to a healthy and puro growth, and that tho faulty traits it has undoubtedly inherited be eradicated by every moaiu possible.—Rose Dal ton in Good Housokeeping.

The Health Officers of Home. A lecture entitled "Mothers, the Health Officers of Ilomo,* was delivered by Dr. Oacar C. Do Wolf before Woman'* I*hysiological institute. The doctor said the average American woman's conception of house was sadly defective. She judged the homo Troui the society standpoint instead of the reverse. There were many features of fashionable life which prevented women from becoming the watchful and effective guardian which she ought to be of the sanitary condition of her homo. Woman's use of n&rcotfc and alcoholic stimulants was no long** Limited to individual cose*. Bvery physician in this city knew it was quite prevalent and was producing a harvest of death. Mothers could not sow tours and reap wheat for their children.

The doctor trusted that the public instructor in tho year 400 years hone©-—for the ^urpam of showing how dificient wanton in the nwetceath century were in guarding the hoalth of their children would produce a Chicago daily paper dated Feb. 23, 1&36. From this he would read the mortality report that 50 per cent, of the deaths wore those of children under 5 years of age, and tbo equally suggestive fact that the glass manufacturers of the United States made W.OM.IXX) nursing bottles during 1$S& The philosopher of that day would read the advertiser -rand come to the eoosiuskm that the i.iufartureof food for infants was a gigantic national enterprise in 1&& If be would put tik&.'« facta together he wowkl detect the causes witch sweep many infants into an untimely grave. & nu the fruit of the American mother* refoal to nurse her children.

How to Punish Child:

"How to punish children," said Professor Adler, in a lecture recently, "is one of the burning questions of the day. Upon it depends in a greater degree than people imagine the welfare of the state, the family society, and the ethical development of humanity itself. We should be the physicians of our enmies we should profit by thoir hostility and lead them to a better mind by gentleness and firmness combined, and even chastise them when their own good and social advancement require it How many parents know how to punish children? "A will grow up, in nine cases out of ten, the embodiment of the 'influences that surround him. Never chastise a child in anger. Socrates, tho great

gconts and Perfumos Everywhere. Among the necessary adjuncts of the modern gown is the perfumed pocket, which is sold, made up ready for use, by shopkeepers along with tho other "findings." for which trifles modistes tack on to their little bills such astounding sums. These dainty pockets are among tho newest accessories of the already costly costume of the day. For some time perfumes went "out" and were considered decidedly vulgar, but they are "in" again with a vengeance, and the faint scent of the many sachet powders that greets one's olfactory organs in crowded places is quite overpowering, at times nauseating.

Holiotrope to the right of you, violet to the left of you, white rose in front of you and jessamine behind you in tho warm, close atmosphere of a church or theatre mako you for fresh fields and pastures new and wish devoutly the edict against scents had not been removed. Women have perfume sewed into the linings of their drosses, in their pockets, in their corsets and in their bustles, and the effect of all this is the reverse of pleasant vory often. Fashion never stops half way at anything and the only comfort is that it changes in the twinkling of an eye. This rago for perfume has not come to stay probably.—New York World.

Pay Attention to Table Manners. The table manners of children can not receive too close attention, and yet they seldom have adequate care lestowed upon them. The constant reproof and admonition required seems but a thankless task for many years. Boys and girls manifest a terrible ingenuity in acquiring awkward habits and unpleasant tricks, and an equal slowness in overcoming thorn. Perpetual "nagging" is always paini'ul both to tho giver and tho object, but the recompense of greatful appreciation comes surely, though slowly. Some parents weary of waiting for it, and abandon the efforts at training.

To men nothing can make up for the lack of this early discipline. Women, more iijutative, may tutor themselves into a fair pretense of ease, but a man rarely sufficiently overcomes his self-consciousness to feel otherwise than miserable in a circle where he knows hi* habits and manner mark him as of less outward refinement than his associates. Once inn groat while th» wife of a man may succood in imparting a polish that transforms the rough article into a tolerable counterfeit of the fine one, but it is at the price of long struggles and bitter mortifications alike to husband and wife.—Christine Terhune Herrick.

Harmony Turned into Discord. Did you ever stop to think, you mousehearted people, the harmony of whose life is all turned into discord by forecasting trouble, to whom a few flies in tho dining-room, or pencil-marks on the paint, or tho tracing of little ilngors on the crystal clearness of the window-pana brings a load of care, and the indulgence of a scolding tongue did you ever stop to think, I wonder, what you will do when some of the really great troubles of life shall sweep down upon you like a wind out of a northern sky I

Will you remember these magpie vexations when tho foot that mado the muddy tracks that shattered your dainty peace shall have turned aside, have climbed the heavenward slopes and walk with God? When the hands that traced the finger-marks shall have loosened their caressing clasp from yours and leave you only dreams of tho rose-leaf touch that once thrilled the mother heart within you? Ah! I think, my dear, when those troubles do come upon you, you will not tako nota of flioa in the dining-room, nor stop to scold over a disordered room.—"Ambar" in Chicago Journal.

The Question of School Reform. A number of prominent women in New York are about to take up the question of school reform, and soo what cau be done to hotter the condition of things in the public schools, where the children are being tadlx overworked, compelled, liko Dr. Blimber's pupils, to produce mental green peas at Chrifctmas and intellectual asparagus all the year round. The schools here, are, liko Dr. Blimber's establishment, great hot-houses in which there ia a forcing apparatus incessantly at work, and unless there is some reform in direction there will be serious results felt in the mental and physical condition of the rising generation. This is a subject which interests mothers more nearly than any other, and the present awakening to the fact on their part is a healthful sign.—New York Work!.

A Young Mother's Ways with .Children. No matter what may be the decorations of the home if the wife meets the husband with petulant words because she thinks he has stayed out longer than is proper, or if the children are allowed to use cross and overly** ring words to one another and to the servants, there is no amount of adorning that can make that home beautiful for it has been truthfully said "decorating a home that is never irradiated with hearty good nature ia like frescoing a cellar wall."

I have a dear friend who is a young woman, but an excellent manager of children (the best I ever saw, and they are so few these days). I was with her one day and her two little ones, 5 and 3 years old, were playing in the next room, when there came an ill-tempered scream from the youngest She quietly arose and went to them, and I knew she punished the child, but when she came back she said that she had once before reproved the little one for screaming at her brother, and had told her if she did it again she must punish her. She then said: "I teach my children as soon as they are able to understand that they must not be cross to each other, and I always found if allowed when small to scream at each other the next thing would be cross words and it is just as easy to train them to say pleasant words as any others." Young mothers make a note of this (I did), and act on it it rests with yourselves whether your children will use kind words,—Atlanta Constitution.

A Fortnightly Club of Women. In at least one country town that I know of there is a fortnightly club of women called the Mistake club. The members are all housekeepers, and once in two weoks they meet at one another's houses, and the discussions are based upon the culinary mistakes of their members. One will have failed in some point, possibly in clearing soup stock, in bread making, in the one hundred and one things that come up for the housekeeper to do. Tho rest listen to the recital, then follow it with suggestions, based upon expbrience. Note books are in requisition, and the members says that there isn't a meeting at which something new isn't learned. During the season they manage a course of cooking lectures from Mrs. Lincoln, and once a month they give a tea, to which the husbands are in vited. Now, why can't we, you, readers, and I, form a "mistake club?" Naturally, under the circumstances, it will have to be something like Mr. Alcott's "conversations," where ho did all the conversing and the rest listened.—Sally Joy White.

The Present Taste in Mantels. The present taste in mantels seems in favor of plain, substantial work, with beauty of form and proportion leading characteristics, in place of eccentricity in shap9 and bewildering and superfluous clusters of columns, and nests of shelves and brackets. Tho mirror with its beveled edge still remains an important factor in the effect of the mantel,whether used singly for it3 legitimate purpose as a mirror, or as panoling in the backs of recesses, reflecting light and color. Nevertheless it is frequently done away with altogether, its placo being supplied with cabinet pictures. But whatever manner of mantel is attempted its real and practical utility should never bo lost sight of, or rendered subservient to decoration.—Philadelphia Record.

Oil Spilled on the Floor.

If oil has been recently spilled on a carpet or floor, put on plenty of wheat-flour or whiting to absorb the oil as much as possible. If the spot is near a soam, it is well to open the carpet and placo the whiting underneath as well. The next day sweep up with a stiff brush the flour above ami beneath the carpet, and put on plenty of fresh flour. If spots persist in remaining after this treatment, they can bo removed by rubbing with flannel dipped in spirits of turpentine or benzine. Others use a preparation made by mixing a little soap in a gallon of soft warm water, and then adding half an ounce of borax. Wash the part well with a clean cloth, and tho spot will soon disappear.—Demorest's Monthly.

Boiled Ham in London

TTTE SATURDAY EVENliSTG MAIL)

:::l

At the London ham and beef shops—by the way, an institution confined to mo muuern Babylon—the following method of boiling hnmn is adopted with excellent results. The hams are always placed in cold water in a copper, under which a small fire is made, which raises the water very slowly to the boiling-point The moment this is accomplished the fire is raked out, the copper covered over, and tho hams are allowed to remain in the water until it is nearly cold. By this means the flesh is rendered tender and juicy, and the loss of fat is guarded against —San Francisco Argonaut

THE QUEEN'S DAIRY.

A VISIT TO THE ROYAL FARM AND

ITS OCCUPANTS.

A Peep at the Poultry Houses—Her Majesty's Favorite Pets—Earthern Cans of Milk and Delicious Kolls of Batter—

Milking Time.

The Home park is about four miles in circumference, extending from the north and east sides of the castle to the ban' of the Thames, and containing about 50J acres, largely studded with forest trees, with avenues of elm planted in the reign of Queen Anne, which throw a delicious shade all about in summer and afford a rest to the tired eye by their green umbrageous luxuriance.

First of all the qneen's aviary, or poultry houses, claim our interest These are a part of the home farm, and are sheltered by stately clumps of elm trees on the southeast side of the park. The fowl-house is a beautiful semi-Gothic building. There is a central pavilion, a sort of resting place for the royal family when they inspect the fowl, or come hither for afternoon tea. We peeped inside. It all looked very homely and clean. The chairs and couches were covered in pretty, bright chintz. All about the room were casss of stu:ted fowl of all sorts and cases of stuffed birds beloved when in life by the cueen. One tiny, fluJy duckling, that she had nursed in her hand and tried to keep warmth and life in, stood, in a tiny glass case, as though quite frightened at so much posthumous honor.

HBK MAJESTY'S FAVORITE DOVE.

A ring dove came next "Ah! her majesty loved that pretty dear," said the mistress of *ihe aviary. -It waS tho one thrown into her carriage when she visited ol Ireland with the prince consort Shs took it as a gook omen, and was very fond of th3 dove. Well, she brought it to Windsor, and from it came generations of doves—some of those you see in their cotes above this little house and on both sides of it She was very fond of that Irish dova" What a pathetic side to the character of the queen that she should, in the midst of her cares of state, find time to love her farm, with her cows and fowls! In another case we see some game, shot by the prince consort in 1S43, kept sac. edlyin this little nook. All the feathered pets are thus kept in memory.

The queen often visits the little room/and when her childron were little they had tea off a blue and white china service, the simple fare consisting of fresh milk, eggs, and buttered toast, with delicate cups of tea. Indeed, her gracious majesty is not a bit proud, but is quite as homely a3 any one, when she comes roaming about her farm, and every fowl on the p'ace knows her and the sound of her gdntle voice. We rambled about, looking at the white turkeys, the golden pheasants, the Brahmin fowls, the Cochin Chinas, and the dozens of other fowls of the rarest breed and beauty, all looking monstrous wise as they strutted about in their grave, deliberate fashion. £v.j

MILK CANS AND ROLLS OIT BUTTER.

In the royal dairy were added proofs of the quoen's great love for her royal huabandL He it was who designed the beautiful tiled building. Marble medallions of the two—the queen and her consort—are observed as we enter. Tho cooling-room i9 filled with the earthen cans of milk set to cream. The walls are softly tiled, telling the story of the four seasons in their successive divisions. The windows are double ones, the inside windows being of colored gla§-, showing the red and white roses— houses of York and of Lancaster—the thistles of Scotland and the shamrock of Ireland, with buttercups and other blossoms The dairy mistress is a wholesome, cleanly-look-ing Scotch woman. Tho pans of milk, the rolls of butter, and the restfulness of the room are all refreshing to the weary tourist even to gaze upon.

We learn that wherever her majesty hap. pens to be she has her own butter sent her for her private table use. After the cooling-room and tho churnin j-room we stray down to tbo cowa These are the choicest breeds—Jerseys, Guernseys, Alderneys, and also the big Lancashire cows. It is milking time, and the small breeds of cows look at us with fairly human intelligence. Then, in the little housed peLs, the. tiny calves gaze in half-frightenod love into into our eyes and bend their pretty heads to receive our caressing touch. Nothing is so motherly of look in its big, soft eyes as a cow. Next to our human mothers there is a wondrous softness and maternity in the expression of a cow's eyes. We read in its depths patience, tenderness, faith, as nowtere else in the animal world.—Cor. Boston Herald.

A Now Circuit in P.irl«.

It was chic to be at the opening of the new Cirque Gller. This new circus occupies the site of the old Valentino in the Rue St Honore. It is a luxurious place, provided with comfortable stalls, a tier of boxes, and a promenade-fumoir. Part of the boxes have baen hired by tho year by the swell clubs, the Cercle de la Rue Royale, the Cercle des Champs Ely sees, the Union, the Jockey, the Eclaircurs, and the Cercle de la Rue Yolney. Tho mundane apostle of this circus has been the Prince de Sagan, and the organizer of the programme the gentleman amateur, M. Molier, who has a private circus of his own at Passy.

The great novelty of this circus is that during the entr'acte the arena sinks into the ground, and discloses a piscine nine feet deep At present tha Johnson family perform swimming foats in the water, but the Prince de Sagan, the great lanceur of the circus, proposes shortly to strengthen tha programme by piscatorial rr,atcbest, in which members of the aristocracy will contend with roi an 1 lino and wriggling worm, the jo.'key against the Union, the dukes against the counts. Th puffery of this new circus by means of names and titles is an illustration o.' a curio.:s phenomenon of Republican society—the hiring out of social influence, the leaning of elegance for an evening, just (.» certain specialists loan out plate, flowers, or chairi for a kettledrum.—Paris Cor.

How to Keep Oy»ter» Alive A discovery which will be interesting to scientists, gourmands, and fishmongers has been made by M. erill, a French scientist, who is studying the question of how to preserve oysters after they have been taken out of the water. Mr. Verill found an oid bottfe, which had bee.i picked up at sea, and to which several oysters were attached, as a cariosity in front of a fishmonger's shop, where it had been on view for several months. On examination the oysters wen proved to be all alive, with the exception of thase the shell of which wn* not quite intact

The conclusion which M. Verill draws from this fact, and frc-m experiments of the wm« kind which he has made, Is that, if oysters with a perfect shell are plac in a receptacle throogh which the air an freely paa, care bring taken toat the emp.y part of the shell turned downward and the binge upward, it is possible to keep oysters perfectly fresh for several montt* The plan is certainly worth trying, espo.ially as can be done almost withost any

A Bear's Sleigh Ride.

Iieu\ Schwatka tells in Wide Awake a funny story about how a big white polar bear had a sleigh ride much against his will

Nannook was a little Eskimo boy, 9 years old. He lived with his parentp up at the northern part of Hudson's bay. (Where is Hudson's bay?) His father took him ona day cm a trip to haul sealskin bags of the oil which serves the Eskimo for both light and fuel in the dark northern winters.

It was a great day for Nannook. Tiny traveled in a sledge drawn by the half-wild Eskimo dogs. The trip required a whole day, Nannook's little brother, 4 years old, begged to go along, and, as he was a great pet, he was allowed to. Nannook caught the dogs, one by one, and harnessed them to the sledge. There were ten of them and they made a long train. The dog is the Eskimo's horse. No horse could live in those frozen regions. There would be nothing for him to eat

The boys watched the dogs and sledge, while their father went to a rough place where the stones were piled upon the oil bags. The pile of stones was called a cairn. He began to tear away the stones. Nannook and his little brother sat upon the sledge. SiMdenly the dogs sprang up, snuffed the air, and started off at a mad gallop. The next moment Nannook saw a huge polar bear a few hundred feet away. He was faying to tear open the cairns on the island and get at the meat and oiL The dogs were in a mad nhaoA towards him, with the children upon the sledge. Worst of all, the little brother had been tied fast to the sledge slats with reindeer thongs, to keep the furs around him. Nannook would not leave the child, but

How Toddy Brown Apologized. One day my friend Teddy saw one of his schoolmates abusing some colored children, and finding that George was not to be influenced by moral suasion, he tried the efficacy of fists. George at once took to his heels in the direction of home, and Ted, feeling that he had not been sufficiently chastised, boldly gave chase, following him up tho siops aud into the house. George's mother chaticod to be away from home, and the ser it girl, hearing tho commotion in tho hall, rushed upstairs and unceremoniously ordered Tod out Ted, in conscious rectitude, flung back an indignant answer before tho door closed behind him and on Mrs. D.'s return the incensed Bridget lost no time in reporting her grievnnce. ,,

That afternoon Mrs. D. stopped Ted sister on her way from school, and request© 1 her to say to her mother that Toddy had been behaving very badly. "He has not only been abusing my son George, but he used very improper language to Bridget and Bridget is a lady, and I will not have her insulted." Flo sadly but faithfully reported tho message. "Teddy," said his mother, that evening at bedtime, "I want you to tell me what you have been doing to-day, and what you said to Mrs. D.'s Bridget" Ted knew by the look in his mother's eyes that tbero was nothing for him to do but own up and when it comes to that ho is not the sort of boy to beat about the bush. "Why, tho way of it was, mother, Gcorga was teasing those little Bates children, and I said to him that he better stop that, 'cause colored people had as good a right to live a? white folks but he up and told mo to mind my own business, and kept right on teasing them. Of course, I wasn't going to stand that, so I pitched into him, and he, groat boobyl put for home. But I was bound to have it out with him, and when we got into tbo house tho hired girl she heard us and came upstairs, and began to interfere, and I just told her that it was noneo'hor affairs, and I wouldn't take any of her sweet bos&

that's all there is to it"

"That is quite enough, my son," said mamma, trying to speak severely "I

wonder Mrs. D. thought you behaved badly. And having tucked him in and kissed him good-night, she went downstairs to report the case to her husband. "Theodore," said bis father the next moroimr as h» was starting for business, "it will be well for you to call at Mrs. D.'s on your way to school and apologize." "Td a good deal rather be whipped," said Ted, a» soon as his father was out of hearing. •But, my dear," said msmtna, "even if yoo took the whipping i* would be necessary for yoo to apologize, all the same."

A Little Sufferer

Cleansed, Purified, and Beautified by the Cuticura Remedies.

It affords me great pleasure to give you this report of tho cure of our little grandchild by your Cuticura Remedies. When six months old his left hand began to swell and had every appearance of a large boil. We poulticed it, but all to no purpose. About five months, after it became running sore. Soon other sores formed. And then had two of them on each hand, and as his blood became more and more impure it took less time for them to break out. A sore came on the chin, beneath the under lip, which was very offensive. His head was one solid scab, discharging a great deal. This was his condition at. twentv-two months old, when I undertook the care of him, his mother having died when he was a little more than a year old, of consumotiou (scrofula of course). He could walk a little, but could not move when in bed, having no use of his hands. I immediately commenced with tlio Uitleura Remedies, using the Cuticura and Cuticura Soap freely, and when bo had taken one bottle of the Cuticura Resolvent, his head was completely cured, and he was Improved in every way. We were very much encouraged,andcontinued'tho use of the Remedies for a year aud a half. One sore after another healed, a bony matter forming in each one of these live deep ones just before healing, which would finally grow loose and were taken out then they would heal rapidly. One of these ugly bone formations I preserved. After taking a dozen and a half bottles he was completely cured, and Is now at the age of six years, a strong and healthy child. Tho scars on his hanAs must always remain his hands aro strong, though we once feared ho would never he able to use them. All that physicians did for him did him no good. All who saw tho child before using the Cut icura Remedies and see the child now consider it a wonderful cure, if the above facts are of any use to you, you are at liberty to use them.
