FAULTS IN HOUSEHOLD MANAGE.
mENT.-In the houses many families,
at the present day-among those, espe-
cially, who endeavor to make up appear
ance above their means. there is plan
destructive to the comfort of the inhab-
itants, of making the best room in the
house show room, called by courtesy,
a reception or "best" room, where ele-
giant couches not meant to be sat upolb
rich carpets not intended to be trodden
upon, books in green and gold never to
be opened, and the pride of the wife, the
drain on the means of the husband, the
trouble and sorrow of domestics, the
bugbear of the banished children; and
the ridicule of:unfriendiy visitors.
II is difficult to see why this useless
room, generally the largest and airiest
room in the house, should net be useful
1y employed. Why should not the sofa
be covered with neat ,chintz that can be
washed when soiied. that the tired hus=
band may rest un it, and visitor sit
down on it in comfort? Why should
not the furniture be good, and even
handsome, but ofsuch description that
st wall not be injured by daily use
Why should not the books be read, the
piano played upon. and the room itself
be happy family apartment, and still
be reception room that a sensible
woman need not blush to see her friends

RECoLLECTIoNs OF WASHINGTON. =
The following extract of letter from a
German gentleman in his oath year, to
friend in Washington, is taken from an
exchange:
'1n my parlor is suspended an engra-
wing of Mount Vernon. and in my front
hall picture of General Washington,
and Miss Gusts. My eyes love to lin
ger upon those faithful memories of 9TH
er years. They wildly call to mind
the day-the proudest day of my life
that 1 passed upon the beautiful banks
ofthe Potomac, in the family of the best
and greatest parsonage that the world
ever produced. 1t was in May, 1898,
now nearly sixty-one years ago. | was
seated at his right at dinner, and l re-
collect as distinctly his majestic bearing
as If it were yesterday. Though Of
mortality, his overpowering presence in
spired an impression that he belonged to
immortality. lis stateliness, his serene
face, the perfect simplicity of his man.
ners. his modest demeanor, and the
words of wisdom which he uttered led
me irresistably to the belief that he was
an emanation of the Omnipotent, for the
marvellous work that he had then Just
eonsummated. 1t was my good fortune
to contemplate him in 5ais retil ement-
after he had left nothing undone that he
could perform for the Republic of his
creation, and after he had quilted office
forever. What privilege enjoyed in
being sts welcome guest 2 Of the 24O,-
100000 of Europe, 1 imagine am the
only person, since the death of Lafavet-
te, who was SO favored as to break bread
and take wine with him at his own
table.

How 10 SAVE BLOSSOMS PROM BL1GBT.
Our agricultural readers may stow
away the following for the coming
year
In this latitude; it is we'll known by
pomologists that, as soon as the frost is
out of the ground in the spring, the sap
begins to ascend into the body and limbs
of trees, the buds swell. the leaves start
and the blossoms soon appear. And it is
