Notes and Comment

Wiggins' Day caino and went as serenely and harmlessly as any day in the whole year.

What a pity for Wiggins that the great Texas hurricane did not hold off a few days longer.

The solid granite of New England character seems to be rapidly turning to unburnt clay. (ion. Andrew Jackson's colored servant has just died. After all General Jackson did not live sovery long ago.

It is said that Roso Cleveland's magazine, Literary Life, does not pay for poetry. Doos it pay for anything olse?

Those Indianapolis Democratic and Republican editors should not let their angry passions rise—at leas^Pnot, loo high.

Wiggins should bring his prophottc powers to bear and predict when and whoro the next Imnk. defalcation will occur. -y 1 .v' .Who can give a better definition of ^nervous than that of a smart little girl who said it was "being in a hurry all over."

Mr. RMight, of Brazil, has a good siaed chip on his shoulder, and thus far Mr. Lamb has not pluckod up enough courage to knock it off.

Now that Miss Violot Cameron, her business manager, Lord Lonsdalo, and her husband, Mr. lubensande have all reachod this oountry, some interesting and novel developments in theatrical advertising may be expected.

Church circles in New York are more or less exeitod by the arrival of a learned Buddhist priest from China, who proposes to hire a hall and endeavor to convort the Christians of that city from the error of their ways.

They are still hunting for gas or oil around Decatur, Indiana.

A great pllo of money has been poured into the earth and nothing has come out of it so far, but they may strike it rich yot some of these days. Indiana has everything olse but oil and natural gas and It is hard to bolleve that she hasn't got these tucked away in In some corner. _____

You may have often wondered why a monkey wrench was call a monkey wrench, there being no resemblance or any connection between that well kwown Implement aud that well known little animal. An explanation is given in a current paragraph stating that Charles Monckey, tho inventor of that wrench, is living in poverty in Brooklyn, while the canltalists who bought his patent for $2,000 are reveling In luxuries among their millions, all made from Monckey's wrench.

Tho "professor" is therefore just a Httle late in his arrival—a few months sooner and ho might hare coined money.

This Is one of the seasons of the year when close attention to warmth and clothing may save many a doctor's biU.

Every house should have afire of some klnd in It »o«v at least of mornings and evenings. These dewtro.v the mlciobea, malaria or whatever It it that Is dangerous to life and health. Many a case of gorlooji Illness could be saved by tho proper attention to this simple matter.

HO USKKEHLPJNG— BOA RDINQ.

Mrs. Kate W. Ebbltt, of this clt' ^tri^Uaw t^therlirfllsnatfolfe flforl "article below which will find a homo placc with every housekeeper and boarder. She says:

I think if a case were called to decide tho relative merits of housekeeping and boarding, with housekeeping either as plaintiff or defendant, that, aftor hearing all that could bo said for each, pro and con, without bias or prejudico, tho verdict would be given in favor of housekeeping. Each has its drawbacks, its worry, its unpleasant side, but housekeeping gives in return for every unpleasant featuro, compensation in its independence, its privileges and its variety while boarding offers in exchange indolence, dependence, sameness, and total loss of Individuality.

If there is any choice as to the kind of boarding, that of hotel is to be preferred. In the hotel you are independent in a degree: the parlor is yours when you wish to use it, though you must expoet others to have the samo privilege at the samo time. The servants are thoro to do your bidding, and if they fail in their attendance complaint can be made to tho powers that be. If yon can put up with hotel cooking—that is, if j'ou can keep your imagination in check—all is well, for you have a variety from which to make your selections. You can come in and go out when you choose get your mealsat irregular times, when that is most convenient. A friend may be Invited to dine with you by paying the extra charge.

A sojourn at a boarding-house or a private family does not offer or give the same privileges. In the private family the parlor is yours to receive a friend in under protest. This is sure to be the case if the young lady of the house has a "young man." Woe be to you if yon have a caller on the young roan's evening for calling. The pleasure of the call is lost to you, for you know that they both wish you and your friend were in Jericho—or some where else.

You have a call at a boarding-house tho parlor is occupied by other boarders with whom your friend is not acquainted, and consequently is entertained by you in a very formal'and unnatural manner you sitting, meanwhile, on figurative pins and needles. You are glad when "good-bye" is said, so that yon can rush to your room and breathe the air of partial freedom. You get so tired of your room—its dinjjy paper and odds and ends of furaitur. offend your taste every time you enter it. Why Is it that the furnished rooms of boarding houses are not more attractive? Cheapness Is written on every thing—carpet, furniture and all hint strongly of the auction room or second-hand store.

Many board ng-hoose keepers labor under the delusion that they are only doing It to accommodate poor mortals who have no homes. So these poor mortals must accept jwtvhat Is set before them at the table, and such accommodations aa are" found in their rooms— whether pleased or not—without a word of complaint. The five or six dollars a week paid by them doe* not give them any sayso in the matter. Yon get tired

dine with a friend.

You feel contempt for an epicure, yot you like well-cooked and well-seasoned food, aud an occasional change in the bill of fare is both hcathful and agreeable. You may go out and are uneasy for fear you may bo late to dinner. An evening spent with friends is spoiled by thinking you may romain out too late,

And so be obliged to ring some ono out

Of bed to let you in. So you tear your self away from delightful company and hurry to your quartors. As for enterVtining a friend—well, if you succecd ,in persuading one to dine or take tea with you, even onco, you may be thankful, for I fancy the visit is not repeated.

In justico to the kind, conscientious persons who keep good boarding-houses, I will say that, it wero well for poor humanity, there wero more of them. But why families should break up pleasant homes to try what can only be a mockery of home, at its best, sooms strange. The family relations can only llourish in thoir integrity in the home. Columns have been written upon the social evils growing from this way of living. The writer has simply been calling up some of the little grievances whi$h aftect our eomfort and equinimity.

To all that has been said here, some will say that it is all truo, but that housekeeping is such a care its work is never done, you are often without help, standing over a cook stovo with tho thermometer in tho nineties is not a pleasant occupation, yet the cooking must bo dono, for all must eat to live. Every housekeeper will grant this, yet even so, most will persist that housekeeping is to bo preferred. Tho thorough house-keeper has tho best chance of getting the most $K.it of lifo—hard work included—although most complaint comes from those women who do but little about thfei^iome. Thoy simply tiro from their Unless, idlo and unsystematic way of .llvfpg, and imagine that boarding is the -thfcg to bo desired, 'I jya satisfying pleasure in fiav-\\'?n-appointod and in mftfISti^tIgl^rtK4 ed those dear to you in being able to entertain your friends when and how you please in the comfortable fooling of independence every well constituted household onjoys. When it is entered into with a spirit that earnestly desires success, and a system is agreed upon and carried out by each membor of the family, and a laudablo pride Is taken in its accomplishment, the right steps have been taken. Then it cannot be the bugbear so many make it by mismanagement, want of system, the shirking of one which imposes undue work on another, but, instead, home is made the haven of rest, the stronghold, the place on earth to be desired above all others.

Sueh homes are not my ths many may be founcl all around us. They are the creation of their ruling spirit, the wife and mother, who, with the additional title of housekeeper, may be said to hold a triune of&ce—the threo are inseperable. Such women are not the slaves of dress and fashion. Dress Interests only so far as to have neat and suitable attiro as occasion requires. Fashionable entertainment does not trouble them, but an atmosphere of welcome meets you at their door, and friends are entertained in tho most gracious manner, even when they come unexpectedly. As a very sensible woman often remarks, when tho subject of home and women's work arc discussed, "such women are the salt of the earth." Most surely they are, for without their love and self-sacrifice, homes would have lost their savor long ago. In contrast to these self-sacrificing, loving women, are many so intensely selfish, and who so love their own ease, that the homo they make is anything else but a pleasant to dwell in.

What a desolate place earth would be to us without *a home. How we all, when tired and troubled, turn to home. When separated by distance, what visions of the loved spot haunt us and when wo again see the old familiar place, no matter even if it be homely, we say with the poet—and it comes from our heart of hearts, "there is no place like home."

In this specific caso thefo possibly would bo no real sacrifice on the part of the husband in obeying her last wish but as the world runs, it is not considered an especially enjoyable prospect for a man to know that he Is to make a pilgrimage to his mother-in-law's house each six months on stated dates.

ECONOMY IN FUEL. W' Good Honnekeeplng. Ono of the most difficult things to teach a girl is economy in fuel. Nothing seems to satisfy but a continual piling on of coal. As soon as a llttlo gas has been burned off a vigorous shaking and a raking out of ashes follows then tho stove filled anew, touching and lifting the covers, which soon become red hot, and the process Is repeated from morning till night. Teach ner, In order to obtain and socuro a good draft, the coal ought never to be about the lining, and In this connection I am reminded of another practice, which seems to come to kitchen girls oy intuition or handed down by 'tradition, that Is, to put sadirons^ or flatironH,a« generally called, on'the stove over tho hottest tiro hours before use, consequently they ure ruined, for if once heated to redness will ever after retain heat but a short time, and loose their smoothness too. I would rather lend almost anything else to a neighbor than a llatiron. In ironing have two holders to use alternately, thereby lessening the heat of the hand and insuring a greater degree of comfort.
