LearnstO Keep House.

Whatever position in society young
lady occupies, she needs practical
knowledge of household duties. She
may be placed in such circumstances
that it will not be necessary for her to
perform domestic labor; but on this
account she needs no less knowledge
than if she were obliged to preside per-
sonally over the cooking stove and pan
try. Indeed, we have often thought
that it is more difficult to direct others,
and requires more experience, than to
do the same work with our own hands.
Girls should early be taught the art OF
cooking well, and indulgedin the dispo
sition which they often display, even as
children, to experiment in bread
pastry baking. 1t is often buta trouble
some help that they afford, still it is a
great advantage to them. Some moth.
ers give their daughters the care OF
housekeeping, each week by turns. 1t
seems to us good arrangement, and q
most useful part of their education.
Domestic labor is by no means incom-
patible with the highest degree of re.
fnement and mental culture. Many OF
the most elegant and accomplished wo.
men we have known, have looked well
to their household duties, and have
honored themselves and their house.
holds by so doing. Economy, taste
skill in cooking. and neatness in the
kitchen, have great deal to do in max
ing life happy and prosperous. The
charm of good housekeeping is in the
order, economy, and taste displayed in
attention to little things, and these lit
lie things have a wonderful influence
A dirty kitchen and bad cooking have
driven many man from home to seel
comfort and happiness somewhere else
None of our excellent girls are fit to bt
married until they are thoroughly edu
Gated in the deep and profound mys
teries of the kitchen.

Dutch Social Customs.

The tyranny of social custom is the
basis, as it is the bane, of Dutch life.
Every one submits to it, and in his own
turn exercises it ; the rich man in his
own manner; the poor one in his. We
remember very characteristic case in
point. Custom does not permit riding
on horseback in the streets OF ,Amster-
dana prohibition which doubtless
sprung into existence from the ancient
cleanliness of the town, and which has
always remained tacit assumption if
not a recognized fact. A young
progressist philosopher endesvored in
our presence to disregard this prohibi-
ton. A saddle horse was brought, and
he mounted it at his fathers door.
Hooting and Kisses followed him to the
very outside of the city, and the child
rem threw stones at the legs of the ami
NAL he bestrode.
On the next and following days he re,
newed his attempt with true Dutch
phelgm, when the people again opposed
him with he same perseverance. Crack
ers were exploded so often under the
horses feet, that the life of the rider
was in danger, and no one, neither the
police nor public opinion, dared to in
terfere in his behalf. His own father,
quite Indifferent to the want OF success
attending his sons rashness, said as
much to the effect that the Dutch peo-
pie had but exercised their right In re-
sisting innovation.
A married son or daughter never
dimes with the family without an ex-
press invitation. The same sort of for
mality is also established between BROTH
er and sister, for they only visit each
other on the footing of guests. We
we're one day praising to a Dutch lady
the conservatory of.a brother OF hers
who lived in the same city.
"I have never seen it" she said, cas-
only visit him in the evening""
As rule, never do married children
live under the same roof with their
parents. Therefore some difficulty
arises for them in the contraction of
marriage, since they must first of all
secure home, and that is not always
an easy matter in many of those semi
aquatic towns, more particularly in
Amsterdam. Building ground is scarce,
and the pile foundations cost more than
the house itself. Such extrayagant ex-
penditure as was common at the Repub-
lies zenith of prosperity is not to be
renewed often thus generation sue.
ceeds generation in the occupancy of
the dwellings built centuries ago. A
family must therefore emigrate or die
out before another can take It's place,
and hence it is that the fathers of fam
lilies look out for vacancy before mar
rying their children. In the meantime
the betrothal takes place, which, under
the double guarantee of honor and
Dutch sang .troid, forms a sufficient
bond of security, even though years
elapse before the marriage is celebrated.

enacted there by the borders of the
Pacific, in which one Whitney, having
sum of money IN bank and owing an
equal sum, consulted one Dixon as to
the best means of avoiding payment.
Dixon promptly counseled that Whit
ney should withdraw the money and
lodge it secretly in his hands, so that 1t
could not be attached by legal process.
This was done but when Whitney
desired to withdraw the sum from his
ingenious and guileless friend, the
latter denied all knowledge OF the
transaction. Thereupon the despoiled
Whitney Graves the interposition OF the
law, and makes clean breast Of it:
The legal myrmidons overhauled
Dixon, and it is at last, discovered that
he has made over the cash to an evil
woman named Richardson, with the
understanding that both are to fly, re-

CATION of this person disclosed the fact
that she had just perfected her arrange
ments to throw overheard her fel'
low felon and run away with another
man man of the Hoodlum order,
with a taking eye and a correct taste in
hair oil. Search for this young man
brought to light the amusing fact that
he had spent quite good portion Of
the money in purchasing fugitive
outfit for another young woman, who.
as soon as she had got the articles, did
literally and actually fly with still
another young man about whom moth
ing is known, except that he seems tc
be the only one in this strange success
sion of criminals who has reaped any
of the fruits of the original crime.
Considering the extreme complication
and embarrassment of everybody con
cerned, and the small likelihood that
he will ever get any of his money back,
it is possible that Whitney may now
almost wish that instead of mobilizine
his capital in that secret fashion, he
had quietly paid his debts with it.

Running Amuck.

The St. Louis Republican says: "We
sometimes hear of Texas steers on the
rampage in the thronged streets of a
city. There is terror in their wild
ness, and people give them wide berth
when they are fortunate enough to be
able to get out Of their way. They are
no respecters of persons whom they
meet, and appear to regard all the world
rs arrayed against them in a deadly
strife. When n Texas steer gets on such
a frolic, his career is near its close. He
never gives up the chase but with life.
A Texas man appears to be still more
dangerous animal, and one OF the KIND
closely related to the brute lately broke
loose in Galveston. He started out
much as the steer starts, except that, In
addition to his horns, he carried n large
knife, which he took occasion to plunge
in the backs and sides of people who
were in his way. He stabbed six men
in all, killing. one outright, mortally
wounding another, and making sore
places for four others. 1t was police
man he killed, and another policeman
whom he mortally wounded-the other
four were common rif-raff. He was
finally taken alive, and at the prelimin-
ary examination he trieo to make it ap-
pear that he was suffering from delirium
tremens. He seemed to regret that he
killed only one of the six, and thinks
he could do better than that if he had
another trial with better knife. For
q time some of the people thought that
legal forms in his case would be OF no
use, and almost made up their minds to
take charge of him, but they finally con-
cluded to let the law take its course,
His name is James B. Helm, and hi5
father and mother live in Floyd County,
Virginia.

OXYGEN NEEDED.-Oxygen is the
great life principle of the animal body.
Let us beg you, then, to give the sick
person a full and constant supply OF
fresh air. If you keep him well Gov
cred, he can never take cold by having
the windows open day and night. Ii
the wind blows upon him, rub his face
and neck with your hands frequently,
and there can never be mischievous
impression made there. Remember
that although well man may live on IL
a room with imperfect ventilation, 6
sick one must have the help of pure
tonic atmosphere. Remember that
when typhoid fever attacks an army
and there is a deficiency of hospital
accommodations, those who lie in ar
open shed or exposed to the dews and
storms do much better than those who
enjoy the average hospital facilities.

bear about two and half tons, but in
practice it is not safe to submit it to a
strain of more than about one ton. Half

inch, one-sixteenth as much.

Postal Cards.

Hon. E. M. Barber, Third Assistant
Postmaster General, has issused the
following important regulations
Prices. Cards will be sold for
one cent each, neither more nor less,
whether in large quantities or in small.
Uses.-The object of the Postal Gard
is to facilitate letter correspondence eand
provide for the transmission through
the mails, at reduced rate Of postage,
of short communications, either printed
or written in pencil or ink. They may
therefore be used for orders, invitations,
notices, receipts, acknowledgements,
price lists, and other requirements OF
business and social life and the matter
desired to be conveyed may be either
in writing or in print, or partially in
both.
In their treatment as mail matter they
are to be regarded by Postmasters the
same as sealed matter, except that in no
case will unclaimed cards be returned
to the writer's or sent to the Dead Let
ter Office. If not delivered within sixty
(60) days from the time of receipt, they
will be burned by postmasters.
Irregular cards.-An ordinary printed
business card may be sent through the
mails when prepaid by one-cent post
age stamp attached but such card
must contain absolutely no written mat.
ter except the address otherwise it
will be treated as not fully prepaid,
and refused admission into the mails.
Counterfeits. ALI cards different
from those herein described, with p ost-
age stamps printed or embossed there
on, and purporting to be United States
Postal Cards, are counterfeits, and the
manufacture of such cards, or the at
tempt to use the same, will subject
the offender to fine of five hun
dred dollars and imprisonment for five
years.
Spoiled Cards.-Postmasters will not
under any circumstances, be permitted
to redesm or exchange Postal Cards that
may be misdirected, spoiled in print
ing, or otherwise rendered unfit for use,
in the hands of private holders. .
Requisitions.-The Department will
not furnish less than five hundred (500)
Cards on the order of Postmaster.
Individuals desiring Postal Cards will
purchase them of Postmaster, as in no
case can they obtain them upon direct
application to the Department.

WOMEN AS PALL-BEARERs.-A cere-
mony of singular interest was witnessed
at funeral in New York, at the Church
of the Immaculate Conception. The
deceased was member Of the Church
Sodality, and the funeral was conducted
by the ladies of the society. The pro-
cession, composed entirely of ladies,
moved from the house of the deceased
sister in East Fourteenth street to the
church. Six young ladies as pall-bearer'
bore the casket, preceded by two ladies
who carried the society's banner. A
large multitude followed the procession
into the church, where mass was per-
formed by the Rev. Father Mcclure.
At the conclusion of the church service
the pall-bearers carried the casket to
the door, and deposited it in the hearse,
whence the remains were taken to Cal
vary Cemetery.-iSun.

PROTECTING BonERs.-In order to
protect boilers from scaling and foam
ing, without the use of chemicals, the
plan has been introduced in England of
utilizing thewaste heat escaping through
the smoke box, by forcing compressed
air through coiled tube in the box ;
which air, thus heated to 600 degrees
Fahrenheit, is forced with the water
along the bottom of the boiler, through
a pipe perforated with small holes, at a
downward angle of 40 degrees, aiding
ebullition. 1t is stated that by thus
mixing air and water, no incrustation is
formed, nor is there any foaming. Al
though these advantages are conceded,
opinions differ as to the saving of fuel
by aero-steam ; but the diminished con-
sumption-which in mines is very
marked-is attributed to diminished in
crustation.

A Recall.

Come from the south with hurrying feet,
o breezes soft o breezes sweet
And let your fragrant kisses bring
New bushes to the face Of spring.
Blow hence the chill from empty nests
Blow hither now our singing guests,
And lift the covering of snow
From violets that sleep below.
The streams upon their errands run,
And leap and sparkle in the sun;
The mountain-sides with laughter shake,
And from their feet the shackles break.
The ear.h in robes OF Joy appears,
Becoming to her stase and years,
When from the south the bugles blow
That break the reign Of frost and snow.
Come, then, and bid the world renew
Its beauteols garniture of dew,
And let Your warm embraces start
The pulses Of her burdened heart.
CGme from the south with hurrying feet,
o breazes soft o Obreezes sweet
Let the glad earth rejoice ere long
In wealth of fragrance and Of song.

WEAR OF BRA1N-WoRK.-A scientific
paper says that brain-work costs more
food than hand-work. According to
careful estimates and analyses, three
hours of hard study wear out the body
more than a whole day of severe physi-
cal labor. Anothe revidence of the cost
of brain-work is obtained from the fact
that, though the brain is only one-for-
tieth the weight of the body, it receives
about one-ffth of all the blood sent by
the heart into the system. Brain-work.
ers, therefore, require more liberal
supply of food, and richer food, than
manual laborers.
