WE give to intellect and to all virtues the
honor that belongs to them, and still it may
be boldly affirmed that economy, taste, skill
and neatness in the kitchen have great deal
to do in making life happy and prosperous.
Nor is it indispensably necessary that house
should be filled with luxuries. The qualiica-
tons for all good housekeeping can be dis
played as well on small scale as on large
one. Skilful cooking is as readily discovered
in nicely-baked potato or respectable
johnny cake, as in a nut-brown sirloin or
brace of canvass backs. The charm of good
housekeeping is the order of economy, and
displayed in attention to little things, and
these have wonderful influence. a5 o..
A dirty kitchen and bad cooking have driv-
en- many one from home to seek comfort
elsewhere. See to it, all we who are mothers,
that your daughters are all accomplished by
an experimental knowledge of housekeeping.

Sd. They have built the shortest road to the cele
grated Block Coal Mines, whose products have a
large and increasing market in Chicago in the manu-
facture ofiron. as well as for domestic uses.
4th The road is done, well equipped, and earning

THE PRESS.

THE MILLINERY MARKET AND orhiN"
FAsuIoNs.-The New York flower and MIL
linerv iobbers chose Washington's birthday
as the time at which they might safely ex-
nose their selections to public view, and from
this time forward buyers, by walk through
the various Stores can take bird s-eye view
of the novelties in making up their seasons
are in the market at high prices, with high
crowns; also, Leghorn hats with high crowns
and coronets. Paris bonnets are marked at
$15 to $25, and Leghorn hats at $40 to $lo.
Plain braid straw seems to be the favorlte.-
A profusion of flowers is certain to form part
of the fashions for the summer OF loiI III
both bonnets and hats, but the course which
the public taste may follow is more uncer-
tain. Meantime there is every probapliity
that large sprays will be the chleI article
wanted in this manufacture. importers are
provided fully with clusters of every shade
and hue, including many novelties in insect
life and other ingenuities. Flowers this sea-
son will be asked for long and trailing. Trail
ing vines have sold well to jobbers ALREADY,
and flowers in autumn tints. Inc Nelson
coors seem to predominant, and the Ola
ssMarionette'' colors worn during her PERIOD.
Also the Grape "Annillais' novelty, Is being
offered to the trade. A rustic hat, formed from
various portions of the palmetto leaf of Florida,
has been utilized to form a stylish and taking
effect. The flowers are formed from the reedy
portions of the leaf, and when trimmed with
the additions Of natural grasses the whole has
uniform and tasteful appearance. Prices, 81
to $40, according to quality. In ribbons the
trade continues as usual, with preference
for wide widths. -s .-.[ ftfE
