USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

GREEN should be the prevailing color

IF you are buying a carpet for durabil-
ity, you must choose small figures.
MANY persons are capable of making
great sacrifices, but few are capable of
concealing how much the effort has cost
| them; and it is this concealment that con-
stitutes their value.
A NAN may conceal his name, his age,
the circumstances of his life, but not his
character That is his spiritual atmos-
phere, and is as inseparable from him as
the fragrance of rose from the rose itself
In the glance of the eye, in the tone of the
voice, in mein, and gesture, character dis
closes itself All the company may be
equally we'll dressed, but not even child
shall mistake Bluebeard for Saint Nicho-
las, nor Gree for Diana-CelaG Burletgh
CLEANING LACE.-Point, or any kind o.
fine lace, may be cleaned easily by soak
ing it in preparation of sapoline and
warm water. If this is not prOcurable,
ammonia may be used with almost equal
effect. Let it soak till fit to rinse in pure
warm water; then lay it on the ironing
board over clean linen, and iron lightly
on the wrong side with cool iron. After
ward pin the lace on the linen covered
board, inserting pin in every open loop
to keep the pattern clear.
A MEDICAL man, discoursing upon
sleep, makes this remark: Zone man
may do with little less sleep than an
other; but, as a general rule, if you want
a clerk, lieutenant, a lawyer, a physi-
clan, legislator, a judge, president, or
pastor, do not trust your Interests to
any man who does not take on the aver
age eight good solid hours Of sleep out of
every tewenty -four. Whatever may be
his reason for it, if he does not give him.
self that, he will snap some time just when
you want him to be strong"
IMPORTANCE OF WARM HENNERIEs-
1t is we'll known that the fattening pro-
cess goes on much faster in September
and October than in the winter months.
The reason is that the oil given in the
cOrn ETC., is more largely used in cold
weather to keep the animal warm, being
burned" up in the circulation. From
this we can see the importance of warm
memories, prolonging the autumn
time when the prices for fat poultry are
the highest.
No GREAT man ever had a fool for
his mother. In the history of men Of all
departments of society distinguished for
intellectual power, brilliancy and extra
ordinary mental capacity, their mothers,
and not their fathers, as far as ascertained
by philosophical Investigations, were in
variably superior in brain force. /
women are physically feeble, the mind
cannot be developed as when all the
system is fully and BEAUTIFULLY in per-
To how ,ot
first be excellent women; their deteriora-
ton by the facilitating frivolties of fash
ionable life is perpetuated in puny chill
dren, incapable Of sustaining themselves
prominently when their Inheritance is
gone.
To REMOVE STAINs-If you have been
| picking or handling any acid fruit and
have stained your hands, wash them in
clean water, wipe them lightly, and while
| they are yet moist, strike a match and
shut your hands around it so as to catch
the smoke, and the stains will disappear.
| If you have stained your muslin or ging-
| ham dress, or your white pants with ber-
ries, before wetting them with anything
| else, pour boiling water through the stains
| and they will disappear. Before fruit
| juice dries, it can often be removed by
| cold water, using a sponge and towel if
necessary. Rubbing the fingers with the
inside of the parings of apples will re-
move most Of the stain caused by pairing.
| Ink, also, if washed out or sopped up
! from the carpet with cold water immedi-
ately after it is spilled, can be almost en-
tirely removed. Ink spots on floors can
be extracted by securing with sand, wet
ted in oil of vitrol and water. When the
ink is removed rinse with strong pearl
ash water.
