rTHE BEST PRESENT FOR A
CHRISTMAS GIFT
IS A
WHEELER e. WILSON
Family Sewing Machine.

The reputation of this Machine stands so high
in all parts of the world ss scarcely TO neeo
comment. 49,,
They have been awarded the highest premi-
ums in every important contest among Sewing
Machines in this country and in Europe.
They do all kinds of famil ly work, from the
heaviest beaver and felt to the hnest silks, thal
other machines will not stitch.
They work easily, rapidly, noiselessly, and
are not liable to get out OF order.
Washington, .. c., April So 1872.
Having bought and used four of your Wheel
cr s. Wilson Sewing Machines for the last sew
entcen years in my family, and to the entire
satisfaction and pleasure of every men Der there
of we therefore cordially unite, from a, sense OF
duty, in recommending it to the public gener-
ally as being the best, the easiest running, most
desirable and most durable Sewing Machine we
have ever known.
NV two little daughters when they wore
so small that their feet, when sitting on chair
would not reach the treadle, and were conse-
ouently obliged to stand on one foot and run
the machine with the other, which they could
and did do right along, with perfect ease ana
comfort. Both of them to- day own one, and to
part with them would be like parting with 3
dear friend.
I bought my Wheeler S Wilson seventeen
wears ago, and during that time it has never
needed the least repairs, and is just as good to-
day, to all appearances, as it was when hrst
bought it,

EDUCATING GIRLS FOR HOUSEHOLD DUTIES.
e !ucatiug girls for household duties ought
to be considered as necessary as instruction in
reading, writing and arithmetic, and quite as
universal. We are in our houses more than
half Of our existence, and it is the household
surroundings which affect most largely the
happiness or misery Of domestic life. If the
wife knows show to keep house. if she has
learned how things ought to be cooked, how
swept, how furniture should be busted, how
the clothes should be repaired and turned, and
altered, and renovated; if she knows how pur
chases can be made to the best advantage, and
understands the laying In Of provisions; how to
make them 20 the farthest and last the long
est; if she appreciates the importance of sys-
tenn, order tidiness, and the quiet manage
ment of children and servants, then she knows
how to make little heaven of home; how to
win her children from the street; how to keep
her husband from the club house, the gaming
table, and the wine cup. Such . family will
he trained to social responsibility, to business
success and to efficiency and usefulness in
whatever position may be allotted to them. 1t
may be safe to say, that not one girl in ten, in
our large towns and cities, enters into married
lite who has learned to bake q loaf of bread, to
purchase roast, to dust painting, to sweep
carpet or to cut aud fit and make her own dress.
How much the perfect knowledge of these
things bears upon the thrift, the comfort and
health of families may be eoujectured, but not
calculated by figures. 1t would be animmeas
urable advantage to make by attaching q
kitchen to every girls school in the nation, and
have lessons given daily in the preparation OF
all the ordinary articles of food and drink for
the table, and how to purchase them in the
market to the best advantage, with the result
of large saving Of money, an increase of COM
fort. and higher health in every family in the
land Halls Journal.
