Our Bedrooms.

As we pass in sleep one third of our lives,
it is well to devote such care to our sleeping
apartments as will secure to them perfect
cleanliness, pure air, comfort, and cheerful,
pleasant appearance.
The practice of certain notable housekeep-
ers of making the bed before leaving the
room in the morning is neither neat nor
healthful as it does not admit of a proper air
ing of the bed-clothes. A bedstead which is
a bookcase or lounge by day, however con-
venient it may be under certain circum-
stances, is undesirable for common use, be-
cause the bedding is folded up in it, and thus
kept from the air.
Although much is written and said against
feather-beds, many of us continue to hold the
opinion that they are very comfortable on
cold winter nights, and are not unhealthy if
they are cleansed as frequently as any other
part of the bedding.
1t is not very wise to buy yards of gay prints
to cut up and sew together into patchwork
quilts. Still it is good way OF utilizing
pieces of calico left on hand, and can be done
at odd moments instead of fancy work. The
designs should be simple and easily put to-
gether-not such amazing things as ''The
Blazing Sum- and the ''Wild-Goose Chase'
The bed spread, the draping of the windows,
the tops of the bureaus or washstands, wheth-
er of marble or of wood, covered with dimity
all should be white, to give an appearance
of purity, sweetness, and cleanliness
Pillows should be of medium size: not the
immense ones, like half-grown feather beds,
which oblige one to sleep in a half-sitting
posture, nor the little whisps of pillows to be
found in some old farm-houses, that have to
be doubled into ball before the head placed
on them knows they are really there. Pillow
case covers add much to the appearance of a
bed, and are very little trouble to lay on in
the morning and remove at night, and can be
used for a long time without washing.

Take any number of three figures, the first
of which is greater than the last, then take
the same written the other way, subtract the
second from the first and the middle figure of
the result will always be nine; so, too, will the
sum of the other two. Thus ALTA gives
297. Several puzzles are founded on this cir
cumstance

A singular episode took place at church
near Memphis, recently, where revival was
going on. During very silent and solemn
part of the services, penitent brother, who
had been leaning forward and resting his
aching brow on his palm, suddenly started up
and cried out in loud voice, ~ have it,
have it, have it." An iniquitous person
who was doing beside him on the seat jump

emphasis, 'Keno, by Georger'

enough for this insect to squirm in, he does

EARLY in the rebellion, when the Federal
forces were stationed at Beaufort, S. c.,
there was an old darkey by the name OF Lige
Jackson, who, deserted by his master, was
left to take care of himself as best he might.
Lige was considered a chattel of weak intel
lect, and, moreover, he was exceedingly awk-
ward in his attempts to play the role of a
house servant. He smashed and destroyed
nearly everything he laid his hands upon,
and having waited upon nearly every officer
at the post, each in turn, after giving him the
benefit OF some hard language for his stupidi-
ty, turned him adrift.
1t happened that Lige was a witness
in case that came before court.
martial, and being called up to give his testi.
mony, was objected to on the part of the do.
fendant, who stated that he didn't believe
the niger was of sound mind.
Stand up, Lige," said the Court sD,

Look yeare, marse, dis niger has wait
ed ON bout halfde ossifers since dey cum to

tue in cussng."
The Court considered Lige competent
witness.
