full heat, with none that abomiuable smell
Of gas and burnt iron, SO usual in common
Stoves.
4. They will burn as briskly by day and
as slow by night as is desired. and can be
regulated to give the degree of heat requir-

6. They are made entirely Of Cast Iron,
and will not rust out as will Sheet Iron
Stoves.
I. They being based upon scientific study
and experiment, must necessarily supersede
all others.
s. Made in Baltimore, repairs can be
had at short notice and trifling cost, while
the difficulty of getting repairs for stoves
made at distance generally makes it pre-
ferable to buy new one.

" The reason why children die is because they
are not taken care Of From the day of birth
they are stuffed with food, choked with ply.

rooms and steamed in bed clothes. So much

breath of pure air once week in summer,
and once or twice during the colder months,
only the nose is permitted to peer into day
light A little later they are sent out with
no clothes at all on the parts Of the body
which most need protection. Bare legs, bare
arms, bare necks, girted middles, with an in
virted umbrella TO collect the air and chill
the other parts of the body. A stout strong
man goes out in a cold day with gloves and
an oyercoat, wooden stockings and thick
double soled boots, with cork between and
rubbers over. The same day, child of three
years old, an infant of flesh and blood, and
bone and constitution, goes out with hose as
thin as paper, cotton socks, legs uncovered to
to the knees, neck bare an exposure which
would disable the nurse, kill the mother out
right, and make the father an invalid for
weeks. And why2 To harden them to q

Mrs. Vane, you are the perfection Of
bread.makers. Your biscuits are quite beau
dful. Were ever such crullers made How
do you manage it, Mrs. Vane7 What lovely
sponge-cake
Mrs Vape and Mary occasionally exchanged
glances and smiled, but nobody noticed H.
Joe had been behaving so beautifully all
the evening, that Mary began TO be afraid
her plans had failed He came out now,
however, greatly to Mary's satisfaction.
"This is a feast, indeed" he said. "A
fellow is fortunate who has wife that can
make such bread as this, TO say nothing Of the
sponge-cake. can't sec why IL is, Mary;
you improve, it is true; give you credit for
that but / don't see why it is that all women
cannot have the knack that Mrs. Vane has Of
cooking to perfection. If you could make
such bread as this, Mary, your husband would
be happy man."
Mrs. Vanc looked at Mary, and Mary
looked at Mrs. Yano. Light had broken upon
the mind Of the latter. It broke like a flash
Of lightning, and then there was an explosion
not Of thunder, but Of laughter.
Joe looked up amazed. He was a man
who petted his dignity enormously. What
did these women mean, to laugh so at q sober,
sensible remark of his2 Particularly, what
could Mary mean, TO 50 triHe with the respect
she owed her husband2
He began to grow very red, indeed Mrs.
Vare saw it, presently, and came to his and
Mary's relief for poor Mary had already be-
gun to be a little frightened at the success Of
her own scheme. She did not like Joe to be
angry at any rate.
" Mr.. Star" said Mrs. Vane, +" l am truly
glad you like this very excellent cookery, for
it is all your wife's. By your own showing,
you ought to be a very happy man."
Here the whole company caught the infec-
tiou, and joined in the laugh against Joe. 1t
was of no use to get angry with so many peo-
pie; so, before long, Joe joined the chorus
himself
And so the tea party broke up with the
greatest good nature all round, and Joe went
home with lesson he never forgot for il
was the last time that Mary ever heard any
complaints from him. He is now the most
easily pleased of any husband for ten miles
round.

Here is one of Thackeray's pleasant
touches -" 1t is night now, and here is home.
Gathered under the quiet roof, elders and
children lie alike at rest In the midst OF a
great peace and calm, the stars look out from
the heavens The silence is peopled with the
past sorrowful remorses for sins and short.
comings, memories of passionate joys and
grieis rise out of their graves, both now alike
calm and sad Eyes, as shut mine, looS at
me, that have long ceased to shine. The town
and the fair landscape sleep under the star
light, wreathed in the autumn mists. Twink
ling among the houses, a light keeps watch,
here and there, in what may be a sick cham
ber or two. The clock tolls sweety in the
silent air Here is night and rest. An aw.
full sense of thanks make the heart swell, and
the head bow, as pass to my room through

How TO TREAT New GLovEs.-Two pairs
may be taken from one box, of exactly the
same cut and quality, and by giving different
treatment when first putting the hands into
them, one pair will be made to 6t much bet
ter, and to wear double, or nearly that length
of time longer than the other. When pur-
chasing gloves, people are usually in too
much of hurry they carelessly put them
on, and lot them 90 in that way then, think
ing to do the work more completely at another
time When this is the case, a person is
sure to meet with disappointment, for as the
glove is made to lit the hand the first time it
is worn, so it will fit ever after, and no amount
of effort will make a satisfactory change
Never allow a stretcher to be used, for the
gloves will not be likely to fit as well for it.
All of the expansion should be made by the
hands if the kids are so small as to require
the aid of stretcher they should not be
purchased, as they will prove too small for
durability, comfort or beauty. When select
ing gloves, choose fingers to correspond with
your own in length, take time to put them on,
working in the fingers first, until ends meet
ends, then put in the thumb and smooth them
down until they arc made to ft nicely. A
glove that fits we'll will usually wear well-at
least will wear better than one of the same
kind that does not fit well. When the ends
of the fingers do not come down right, or
when they are so long as to form wrinkles
upon the sides of the fingers, they will chafe
out easily; where the stretcher has to be used
to make the fingers large enough, the body
part will be so small as to cramp the hand so
that it cannot be shut without bursting the
seams Of the kids Some recommend put.
ting new kid gloves into damp cloth before
they are put on, and allowing them to remain
until moistened. With this treatment they
can be put on much easier than otherwise,
and will dt very nicely until they get dry /;
but on second wearing there will be an un-
natural harshness about them, wrinkling in
spots, and they will not fit so perfectly as at
first. have tried the damping process, and
