ADiculturia. Attention to these little
matters would save many steps by weary
feet, and the feeling that the men and

careless in making work, which is some.

"Do you, after having kinded the fire,
sweep away the shavings and ashes neat.
ly, or leave them on and around the
stove? When you bring in a pail Of
water, are you careful not to spill it, or
must some one use the mop after you
every time? When you men and boys]
leave the barn yard, do you scrape the
dirt from your boots, or bring it to the
clean door steps, or, what is worse, into
the house, and scrape it on the nicely
polished cooking stove, that has cost an
hours hard rubbing to make bright? Dc
you ever spit on the stove, -four. or car.
pets? Do you leave hats and overcoats
in the hall?-or do you wear them in and
lay them on the table with books, papers
etc., scattering hay seed and dust ovel
the cloth, and its contents, making it nee
essary to remove and replace them much
oftener than would be required, if the
rules of order were observed? Do yor
