REMEMBER THE BIRTHDAYS AND OTHER FAMILY ANNIVERSARIES.

Too much cannot he done to make home attractive, so that ocr boys and girls will prefer it to all other places. "This has been the nicest day I ever knew," said a boy to his mother one evening. •The birds have all been singing, and the •an shone every minute, and everything has been so lovely just for your birthday, mamma, and I'm so glad and he emphasised bis gladness with a hearty hag and Mi For week the boy had been looking forward to this day, planning and making a little birthday gift as a surprise, and when the time canio his whole mind was given to making his mother happy. "But it's fo much trouble to celebrate birthdays," complain some mothers, "and in largo families they come so often." Tes, it is some trouble but how can we keep our children contented and happy at homo without taking trouble? And no mother regrets the trouble when she sees her children regarding their home as the very best place in the wholo world. Try to celebrate the birthdays one year, and see if it does not "pay," in the enjoyment of the whole family. Let no one be forgotten, from father to baby, and try to have each one interested in all the others, planning, if possible, some little birthday gift No matter how simple or trifling ft may be, the love and thoughtfulness which go with it will make it precious.

There arc many pleasant ways of celebrating birthdays, according to the season of the year, tho location of the borne, and the •mount of time which can be spared. Sometimes a drive in the country, a picnic, excursion or birthday party, will bo enjoyed more than presents. Perhaps the family may all go to some concert or entertainment in the evening. In some families the presents are all placed on the plate at the breakfast table, and the honored one opens the various packages amid the interest of all the rest of the household. In others the favored one finds gifts at bis sido when he awakes in tho morning. Sometimes all presents are reserved antil evening, when the business of the day is over. 1% is always pleasant to have on the dinner table somo favorite article of food, while a prettily decorated birthday cake is almost always appreciated. Even if very little can be done, let each member of the household have some special treat on the anniversary of his birth, which shall make them days anticipated with pleasure and remembered with gratitude. There are many simple tilings which children can make for parents and each other. Time is well spent in planning and contriving these love gifts, which bring happiness to both giver and re-ceiver.--American Agriculturist.

The Dootrln© ol Heredity.

"My child's moral development began when I was 6 years old," a mother sadly remarked to a visitor whose face expressed surprise at the child's disobedience. "I was •a mlflsh as it wt^s possible for a mortal to be and had the same uncontrollable temper which you have just seen my little girl exhibit. On my sixth birthday I had an exciting contest with my grandmother, who brought mo up, a dear old lady by w'tom I was petted to tho last degree. I distinctly remember all tho circumstances, and child as I was, I realised ovon then that it was a crisis in my experience. I felt intuitively that if I could succeed in getting my own way that time I could get it forever after. My inference proved a correct one, and from that ti moon my poor grandmother resigned faersolf to bear my ugliness as best she might, making very little further attempt to control me. Horo is my little Amy, two years elder than I was at that time, with the same selfishness and irritability, which I am forced to believe sho inherited directly from me. I declare I sometimes feci as if I couldn't justly blame the child." "How," asks Emerson, "shall a man escape from his ancestors, or draw off from his veins tho black drop which he drew from his father's or his mother's life? His parentage determines it. Men are what their mothers aoako thorn a fearful thought for mothers, tf it oan bo proved to be true. "The child Is," truly, "father to the mitn," and there is no more beginning of education than there Is «f beginning to the material universe. Every thing has conspired from the commencement of time to make us what wear*. Tennyson's •'infant crying in the night, and with no language but a cry," may prove to be the governing power and influence of uncounted future lives. Every impulse of Wordsworth's "growing boy" may show its results in the characters of his children to the third and fourth generation. It is only as we look relatively at such matters that we can approach any limit or definition, and the first question which a woman should ask, concerning the education of her children is one which should precede marriage, not be delayed till after maternity, "Am I fit to be the mother of children!"—Caroline B. LeRow in Woman

A Very Sensible Suggestion.

There is many a father of a family who, white doing his utmost for his children, while he is in health, and making the beet provision be can for them in anticipation of his own death, wholly neglects to put such provision In a tr ible fchapo where it oan bl readily nnden ^od and manipulated by the mother or other guardian in case of his death coming suddenly. A eauw recently came to our notice when) property of considerable value was so Hod up with legal restrictions, owing entirely to lack of a fow formalities which could have been attended to in a day* work, that the widow am! children were kept for more than a year dependent upon the good will of friends before money could bo made avail* fthK Death is not ordinarily hastened by preparations for it, and the subject should net avoided on account of its un» pleasant c...meter.

Many roodel husband and father, whose business ».*nUod* are of the most methodical| andstrfrv honorable kind, would find ample ocv-a to blame himself for neglect if be wouki consider for a moment in what confu-

In case of protracted and dangerous sickness, questions relating to the circumstances of members of a family who may soon be left alone cannot be readily asked or answered, and much of distress and dread of tiie future would be relieved at such a time if the wife coald fstl that whatever earthly possessions existed were to be immediately available, or, at least, that a fall account of them was at hand under a comparatively recent date, so that she need not bring the subject into the sick room.—Babyhood.

The Tired Wife and Mother.

Man, that is born of woman, is prone to fatigue. Woman, that is married to man, is just as pro's to fatigue. It is in their respective methods of showing their tiredness that a man and a woman differ as widely as the roar of a cyclone differs from the sigh and sob of the ocean's voice. 'What a man is

"used

up," 'tired out," he not only knows it, but he takes some pains to impress the fact upon those about him, those of his own household in particular. His wife knows it while be is yet afar off knows it by his step, the way he bangs the front door, and by the mnrinw of his hanging up coat and hat in the tuiii The children know it, often to their cost The used up man's clerks know it and act accordingly, and his employes know that in their employer's sullen visage the storm tignni is visible. The aVerage man (there are some glorious exceptions to the rule) is, when suffering from fatigue, not only very tired, but he makes those about him tired with him, often of him. So much for the husband and father.

How about the wife and mother? She is never aggressively tired, though she may be oomplainingly so. She is most apt to bide from those about her the fact that she is very, very tired, and to smile when she is weary to the heart's core. For a woman's work and duties are of the kind that bring weariness of soul and body and spirit. She is often called upon to confront such a wearying array of small worriments in the fulfillment of her daily duties as would simply madden the most even tempered man. "Xet she not only passes the ordeal successfully, but is ready, when the day is over, to absorb from her husband some of his weariness by the exercise of her womanly sympathy. It can be aafely assumed that men, as a rule, and as compared to the utter weariness which comes to women, do not know the meaning of tho word "tired." But they think they do, and they act in a maimer calculated to make their weariness very wearisome to others.—Pittsburg Bulletin.

A Free Use of Fruit.

Few people, I find, realize the benefit to be gained from a free vise of fruit. Now, I would suggest that the child, rather than the mother, be held responsible for the preparation of, the daily lunch, but instead of sending him to the pantry for bread, meat, cake, etc., I would suggest that he be sent down cellar or out into the field for some ripe apples, pears or grapes. A moderate supply of sound, ripe fruit, together with one or two graham gems, make a luncheon far more healthful and appetizing than most of the luncheons that find their way into the baskets of many of our school children.

Some two or three years ago the luncheon problem became a personal one with me. Teaching two sessions a day, too far from home to dine with the family, the oft recurring question what to have for lunch became a most perplexing one. Finally, through the advice of my physician, and I must confess somewhat under protest, I made the experiment of making my noon day meal entirely of fruit and coarse graham bread. The after dinner heaviness gave way to a feeling of buoyancy, and headaches and attacks of indigestion became far less common than formerly. Now, for the ten school months, my bill of fare for lunch is almost invariably limited to ripe fruit and graham gems or crackers, and my constantly increasing health and strength more than justify the wisdom of the experiment.—"A. J. C." in Good Housekeeping. 4

Slaying the Festive Cookroaeh.*'

"Everything is in knowing how, you know," remarked an observant frequenter of the city hall. "If everybody knew as much about cockroaches as I do the vermin would soon become extinct. They were the pest of my life when I was in the restaurant business several years ago. There was nothing that disturbed my peace of mind like the sight of a cockroach walking leisurely across the table in plain view of my customers. I bought insect powder by the quart and tried every means I could devise or hear of to get them out of my house, but everything was a dismal failure until, finally, an accident happened which gave me the information for which I had been squandering money uselessly. "One night some one happened to leave a cake box—one of those japanned tin affairsstanding open. Next morning about a pint at cockroaches wore found in the box. They had been able to climb the outer surface and get inside, but tho interior surface was too smooth for them to scale and they wore corralled. Well, that put an idea in my head. I went to work next evening and steamed some cake so that the insects could smell it a long distance, and put it in the box. Next morning I bad about half a peck of the vermin. 1 kept the thing going for a week and captured every cockroach in the house. This Is something that a cockroach ridden people should |now about."—Detroit Tribune.

Bard and Soft Water.

All cooks do not understand the different effects produced by hard and soft water In cooking meat and vegetables. Peas and hmmnm cooked in bard water, containing lime or gypsum, will not boil tender, because these substances hardan vegetable caseine. Many vegetables, as onions, boil nearly tasteless In soft water, because all the flavor is boiled out. The addition of salt often checks this, as in the case of onions, causing the vegetables to retain the peculiar flavoring principles, besides such nutritious matter as might be lost In soft water. For extracting the juice of meat to make a broth or soup, •oft water, waited and cold at first, is best, for it much mors readily penetrates the tissue but for boiling where tho juices should be retained, hard water or soft water salted is preferable, and the meat should be put in while the water is boiling, so as to seal up the pores at onca-Journal of Chemistry

Cesses total indifference to dress Is lacking in appreciation for the subtle features of natural beauty. They will admit sublimity «wi grandeur on a large scale, but take littlo or no pleasure out of the intricate geometrical regularity of the marvelous works of nature's lower kingdoms.

T^nlr of artistic appreciation for dress is by no rnoami evidence of mental superiority, but evidence rather of the overstimulating of certain faculties at the expense of others, for a thoroughly well rounded person finds delight jn all beanty, and can no more tolerate discordance and disorder in clothes than in the arrangement of the score of an opera or the finished work of an artist.—Annie Jenness Miller in Good Housekeeping.

The Name of Gentleman.

Tennyson, in sweeping the whole range of tender praise for his dead friend Arthur Hallam, says that he bore without abuse the grand old name at gentleman. "Without abuse"—that is the wise qualification. The name may be foully abused. I read in the morning's paper, young gentlemen, a pitiful story of a woman trying to throw herself from the bridge. You may recall one like it in Hood's "Bridge of Sighs." The report was headed: "To hide her shame." "Her shame!" Why, gentlemen, at that very moment, in bright and bewildering rooms, the arms of Lothario and Lovelace were encircling your sister's waists in the intoxicating waltz. These men go un whipped of an epithet They are even enticed and flattered by the mothers of the girls. But, for all that, they do not bear without abuse the name of gentleman, and Sidney and Bayard and Hallam would scorn their profanation and betrayal of the name.—Harper's Magazine.

Make Children Orderly and Neat.

If you have several little children in your nursery, give each one a place in which to keep its own toys. Make it a rule that each child should help the mother or nurse, and help each other, to pick up all the toyajjooks or games, and put the nursery in order before it is time for the evening meal This «lcr is the time to wash face and hands, smooth tangled hair, sytiiat papa may see a tidy room and have some bright faces to kiss, if he is fortunate enough to reach home before the children's bedtime. I saw in a nursery the other day a very nice little nail brush, and the mother said it was the best brush for cleaning children's little grimy hands that shef had ever used. It is made wholly of rubber, and is so soft that it does not injure the finest skin, while it thoroughly cleanses by removing every particle of dirt. —"E. H. O." itt Woman.

Give Thought to Dress.

Too often does life degenerate into mere animal existence. Home is obliterated or becomes simply a place where a man and a woman and an indefinite number of children eat and sleep. This condition is by no moans a necessary accompaniment of farm life, and while I would not hold the wife and mother wholly responsible where it exists, I do

affirm

can do much toward preventing it. The home is tho woman's realm, and she can TnnifA it largely what she chooses, and while dress and personal appearance are not all, they are much—so much that fifteen or twenty minutes a day spent in their interest will pay heavier dividends in comfort and happiness than almost any other fifteen minutes of the day.—Ohio Farmer.

Responsibilities

of a

Hostess.

A hostess should think twice before she invites any one to her house. But having invited them, she must remember that she is henceiorth their slave. She should be so gracio is as to let her friends alone unless she wished to treat them well. She must be all grace, attention and suavity, but not fussy. If she has nothing to offer them but a small house and a cup of tea and a smile she is as much a hostess as if she were a queen. But if she offer them every privilege of fine music, fine pictures and gorgeous feeds and is not a lady herself or a cordial hostess she is a vulgarian ana a poor creature. She does not know how ti entertain.—Mrs. John Sherwood in New Yorjc World.

We present in the firs!: cut here shown a front and back view of a new French morning coiffure.

IBOHT AND BACK VDCW OF MORXING OOIFFUR*.

The front hair is frizzed and curled and ornamented with a tortoise shell hair pin, decorated with a gold top. At the back a long Diana loop made of a strand of hair is twisted into various turns, according to the illustration (See back view.) These leave the nape of the neck without ornamentation.

The back hair is arranged inlree Diana loops fastened with decorativlpfiis of the same material as the bandeau. v]Tbe lowest loop falls as a catogan.

Ball Hnd

!nff Dresses. are not very many 11 gown bodices. The corner caught up to one e, still finds favor, and some soft transparent tho bodice is seen, or which clings closely to ue ideas like these, that in too prominent a fashme as relieving a ball ny of design, more or wo or three people dehall wear.

like a succession of tfalf circles, while coming from the right is an arrangement of long loops of ribbon, flowers, lace or passementerie, which frequently descends to the edge of the skirt. With bodices that have a long, narrow cut out back and front, a tiny, delicately gathered chemisette is often worn. This can .be made in white Itsse or crepe, or in some pale shat corresponding with the rest of the dress. "Pretty bebe puffed sleeves will be sometimes worn to match the chemisette, either terminating in abroad band of velvet on the arm or fcftd with moire ribbons. A few French low bodices have lapels of silk turning outward, back and front, from the neck in shape. This style makes a somewhat hard outline, but to many faces it proves becoming. Sleeves do not seem gaining in favor for the strictly fashionable ball gown—in fact,they are chiefly remarkable for their absenca At the same time there are many beautifu} absolutely high dresses worn, and in these days of solid bead embroidery, procurable in almost any shade, it is easy to have all the warmth necessary without the slightly stiff appearance that a bodice has when made to the throat entirely of one material.

Cloth Jackets for Spring.

Cloth jackets imported for early spring days, says Harper's Bazaar, are of plain, plaid or striped cloths, in higher colors than are usually chosen for wraps. The stylish coats of smooth faced cloths for dressy occasions come in copper colors, in the new green shades, in tobacco browns, Suede color, the odd blues with grdien tints, and in bright red shades, whilo t)lo rougher homespun or bars or melanges of colors together. The short and are single ar« closely fitted, and of contrasting color mado of pique tho edges are stitched

Jackets are in stri] two or three of tl new shapes are breasted the many have of cloth or el or bound{ and the linings are of striped, checks# or changeable surah. Braiding has by

njrmeans

ming on jackets, and is done with both metal and mohair braids, soma of which are flat others tubular, while the twisted cords of silk or of metal are used in all the most elaborate designs hitherto done only In soutache braid. A jacket that may be worn with half a dosen different dresses is a useful garment in a spring and summer outfit, and it Is now an easy matter to choose such a garment, since the cloths and homespuns are so varied in color tints a copper colored or Suede cloth jacket is worn by young ladies not only with a gown of the same color, but with blue, green or brown dresses, or with a a gown of black lace, while coats of bluish gray or of drab cloth are worn by older ladies with gray, brown or black dresses.

Saggeetlon* A boat Bodies and Drapery.

This season the richer materials in the darker will form the bodies and drapery of the dress, while the skirt will be in the paler color. Here is an instance, a lovely mouse velvet made into a low bodice drapery, over a delicate shrimp oolored •nit, with a deep pinked oat ruche at the foot the drapery, lined with shrimp, is caught op high, and tbo front of the bodice is shrimp silk gathered very fully with mouse velvet ribbons, tied across it from side to side. This «Wwign «n of course be carried out In many contrasts of color, and looks particularly well when the velvet used is gray, and the skirt a rich shade of yellow, and makes a wonderfully pretty dinner gown. There is a beautiful ahade of gray green which will be worn much and combines with yellow well.

Seme ol the Xmw Bracelet*.

While some of the new bracelsts are very light and deUcsto in construction, the tendency is to heavier and more solid workmanship in these ornaments. The gold curb chain bracelet is a popular sort. A bracelet oat for the holidays was formed of two strands of gold rope tied in the center, so as to present the figures 88. A striking ornament seen consisted of a bracelet composed of gold horseshoes united by little chains, the Beibin the shoes being represented by small MUtenta

Fashions and Faneles of the Dinner Table—Seedling Plants for Spring.

Regulation dinner napkins are seveoeightbs or a yora square. Table mats, though a convenience and still popular on family tables, are hardly to be regarded as stylMi. Those crochetted from heavy white cotton represent a favorite kind.

Tiny doyleys for finger bowls are "decorated with etching in indelible Ink or embroidered with washable silks.

It is fashionable as well as pleasant and economical to use a heavy doth of white felting or canton flannel under the white linen table cloth. This protects the table, lessens wear on the damask, and Is more agreeable than the linen covering alone.

Best Methods of Cleaning: Glass.

To clean glass bcttles, fill with ammonia water, put in some small shot, about a teaspoonful to a medium sized bottle, and shake rapidly till the bottle is clean. Where the shot is not convenient, small pebbles or cinders will answer the same purpose, although they are not as clean to use as the shot. Where a fine, glass bottle is to be cleaned, none of these things should be used, as they are sure to scratch and deface the glass. Fill the bottle two-thirds full of ammoniaj water, put a soft swab on the point of .a fine bent wire and clean the bottle with the swab. If tho whole cannot be cleaned in this way, after cleaning as much as possible, remove the wire, put in the bottle an eggshell broken fine, and\6hake well. This will clean the bottle and will not deface the glass. When putting ice in fragile glasses be very careful that you do not drop it in, which is the usual custom, or you will be wondering why the bottoms of the glasses fall out so easily.

A Kenovator of Silk Fabrics.

Potato water cleans silks of any kind or color, sayB a housewife. For every quart of water to be used in washing a dress, for instance, pare and grate one large potato. Put the grated potatoes into the water, which must be soft water and cold let stand two days without being disturbed in any way then very carefully pour off the clear liquor from the sediment into a large, convenient vessel, in which dip the pieces of silk up and down. Of course, silk must not be creased by wringing it let it hang and drip nearly dry, then lay it flat on the table and wipe it first on one side and then on the other. If necessary to press it, do so between flannel with a moderate iron.

Holy Poly for Dessert.

Try an apple roly poly for dessert. Mix a cup and a half of sifted Graham flour with tho same amount of white flour. Sift with them a teaspoonful of soda and two of cream of tartar. Wet these with a cup of sweet cream, or, if it is more convenient to use sour, omit, tho cream of tartar. Handle as quickly and as little as possible. Roll into an oblong sheet a quarter of an inch thick cover with good baking apples, sliced thinly, or with any other fruit preferred leave a margin at each edge then roll, pinching the edges firmly together. Wrap in a napkin, allowing room to swell put in a covered tin basin, in a steamer, over a pot of boiling water. Set the basin on sticks to allow tho steam to pass underneath. Eat with cream and sugar.

Orange Podding.

Peel and pick to pieces four or five oranges (according to size), put into a pudding dish, sprinkling sugar between each layer. Be carcful to take out all the seeds, as they give a bitter taste. Take the yelks of three eggs, one tabkwpoonful of corn starch, one cup of ftugar, one pint of sweet milk. Boil this custard. When it is done, and while still hot, pour over the oranges. Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, add two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and put it over the pudding and place in the oven until it is a delicate brown color.

Saving Steps.

It costs nothing to keep broom and dustpan, and saves time to have two or three, one for the kitchen use, one for the sitting room, and one to sweep feet in winter. There should always be a set place for these, and each member of the family required to keep them there. Shears are needed many times during the day, and a pair should be in every room also a coarse needle and thread. A good pin cushion will always find customers, and plenty of match safes are indispensable.

Handsome Center Piece for the Table.

The center ornament of the table at a recent dinner, as described by Harper's Bazar, was a handsome basket, low in shape, but with along twisted handld, filled with large and perfect bunches of grapes the stem of each bunch was tied with purple satin ribbon, each tie of a different shade. The basket itself stood upon a mat made of ribbons the same shade and width as that used for the ties, and th 9 whole effect was charming.

No Universal Befedji

hiM .vet been discovered but, as at least four-fUMis human diseases have their Iioune in Impure Blood, a medicine which resturus that fluid from a depraved to a healthy condition comes aa near being a universal cure as any that tin he produced. Ayer's Sarsapurilltt affect* the blood in each stage of ita formation, and is, therefore, adapted toa greater variety of complaints than any ether known medicine.

Boils and Carbuncles',

which defy ordinary treatment, yield toA.xer's Sarsapai ilia after a comparatively brief trial. .Mr. C. K. Murray, of Charlottesville*. Va., writes that for years lie was afflicted with boils which caused him. much suffering. These were succeeded by carbuncles, of which lie had several at one time. He then begun tho use of* Ayer's Sursnparilla, and after takingthree bottles, 1he carbuncles disappeared, and for six years lie has not had even a pimple.

That insidious disease, Scrofula, is the fruitful cause of innumerable complaints, Consumption lieing only one of many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcer*, sore eye*, glandular swellings, weak and wasted muscles, a capricious appe*tlte, and tho like, are pretty sure indications of a scrofulous tuint in the* system. Many otherwise lieaulifiil facesare disfigured by pimples, eruptions, and unsightly blotches, which arise^ from impure blood, showing the need of Ayer's Sarsaparitla to remedy the evil.

All sufferer* from blood disorder#should give Ayer's Sarsajmiilla a fair trial, —avoiding all powders, ointment*, and washes, and especially cheap and worthless compounds, which not only (ail to effect a cure, but more frequently aggravate and confirm the diseases they are fraudulently advertised to reined3
