TIE HOUSEHOLD.

should be systematic 1t is Just as impor-
tant for you to have time for everything,
and do each particular thing in its proper
time, as it is to have place for everything
and everything in its place. In that way
only will you get the advantage of your
work, and hurry it instead Of letting it con-
tinually hurry you. Every housekeeper
knows how inconvenient it is to have half
dozen things that ought to be done at one
time, and how utterly impossible it is to do
more than one at time. Now, to remedy
this, commence on Monday morning, and go
through the day, doing just what you can
do with ease. Now, Call that your Mon
days work, and do that work every Monday
don't let anything ordinary prevent you
from doing it; and so on through the week,
| giving each day its work, and after little
while you will find how easily your work
can be done, without any hurry or drag. If
you get new servants, make them under
stand that certain things must be done at
certain times, and see that they are done
at that time, and you will be surprised to
see how readily they will fall in with your
plans. On the other hand, if yon let them
do everything in their own time. they will
never know when to do it. and you will
never know when it is DONE Mothers should
more generally teach their daughters to be
systematic housekeepers. When there are
more daughters than one, let them take
take turns at housekeeping, and positively
insist upon their having a time for every
thing, and doing that thing in no other time.
In that way you will make housekeepers of
them that will grace either a cottage or a
palace Even if they will not be obliged to

gained will be Invaluable to them in the di
rection and management of their servants.
There is another thing to be considered of
vastly more Importance to them. They can
not make their homes truly pleasant and
happy, and free from discord and jar, if they
have not been taught the art of housekeep
ing. They lose the sweetest and purest
blessing that belongs to wife, the perfect
love and whole admiration of her husband
Husbands may love and pity poor house
keeper, but we want love and admiration.

One Of the most important points in win
dow gardening is watering. There should
be plenty Of cracks in the bottom of the pot
so as to let the water pass off rapidly, and
thus ensure perfect drainage. This is one Of
