Hints to HOusekeeners.

The woman best fitted to make the fire.
side happy, is she whose mind is well stored
with practical and useful knowledge, is
accomplished without affectation, retiring
and modest without prudery, frank, free
and gay, without frivolity, and thinks her
husband the greatest man the world ever
saw or is every likely to see. Faith in the
latter involves thousand endearing quail
ties in wife, which we have not time to
enumerate. In a country like this, where
there is no established order of aristocracy,
where fortunes change hands so frequently,
there are but few families, the female head
of which is not required to attend to the
economy of the household; to be good
housekeeper is therefore, to be reckoned
principal accomplishment in the girl for a
wife. If fortune happily secures her from
the necessity Of partaking of the duties of
housewife, the knowledge of direction
will be invaluable, for servants are almost
uniformly careless. Indeed, when we con-
slider the selfshness of human nature, it is
perhaps unreasonable to expect hirelings to
guard the interests of their employers as
faithfully as they would their own. A
great deal of waste occurs in the kitchen,
therefore-for instance, in the boiling of
meats. The cook will throw out the water
without letting it cool to take off the fat,
or scrape the dripping pan into the swill
pail. Now the grease is useful in many
ways 1t can be burned in lamps, mixed
with lard, or, when no pork has been boil
ed with it, made into candles. Bits of
meat are thrown out which would make
hash. Bones are burned that would make
soap. The flour is sifted in a wasteful
manner, or the bread pan left with dough
sticking to it, Pie crust is laid by to sour
instead of making few tarts for tea. Cold
puddings are considered good for nothing,
when oftentimes they might be steamed for
the next day. Vegetables are thrown
away that would warm for breakfast nicely.
Apples decay for want of looking over
Dish cloths are thrown where mice can de-
stroy them. Soap is left in water to dis
solve. If Bath brick, whiting, rotten stone
ETC., are used, much is wasted uselessly.
So much for practical illustration. All the
instances of carelessness we have enumera-
ted are trif1ing in themselves, but, together
with many more which could be mentioned,
make formidable whole. Thus the mis-
tress of house will often allow her hus-
bands money to be wasted, thinking, the
while, that because she dresses more plain
ly than some of her neighbors she is most
superior economist.

1t is thus seen that there are in round
numbers, nearly half million more ig-
norant females than ignorant males i'll the
United States. An examination of the
tables of adult iIliteracy shows that this
preponderancy is very largely made up of
women and not of girls.
We can not do more now than invite
attention to these tables. They afford suf-
ficient data for serious reflection, and
should urge us more than ever to press
forward in the great work of education.
The report of the census will show in the
table of homicides that crime keeps even
pace with ignorance, and that where the
school house is rarely seen, passion and
violence frequently demonstrate in alarm

these facts at another time for fuller COM

TAXATION AND THE ARMY IN FRANCE,

The fact that the recent trouble between
NJ Theirs andthe French Assembly grew
out of difference of opinions as to the
policy of taxation is more encouraging
than if the threatened rupture had been
on the subject of the army. The discus
sions on the question of taxation give
some hope that the minds of Assembly
men are directed to the recuperation of the
country. The question in issue between
the Assembly and the Executive, as we
stated yesterday, was one of taxation.
NJ. Pouyer-Quertiers' hobby is taxing raw
materials and NJ. Theirs is not to tax in
comes. On both these points the Presi-
dent and his Minister find themselves ar
rayed against the leading economists of
France. The latter believe tax on in
comes would reconcile the lower classes
and reach the heavy annuities derived from
the public debt, but Theirs fears to put in
TO the hands of the turbulent masses such
machine for levying forced loans on the
rich.
Taxation must come from some source,
for NJ. THEIRS, true to his traditions, has
earnestly enlisted in behalf of the re-
organization of the army. Universal con-
scription seems to be the policy of the Gov
eminent, and in every direction distrust
and uneasiness prevail. To meet the heavy
drain upon the public purse which these
ornaments necessitate, the Government
is forced to impose taxes in every direction.
The first result was developed on Satur-
day. What the final result will be, we
can only tell when the burdens once reach
the masses.

concerning the numberof ''ignoramuses /"
in the United States, according to the CEN

States ON the. Western coast and all the
