household nnlle..


Without advising you to become domestic
drudges, young ladies, we earnestly recon-.
mend to your consideration the practice Of
necessary household duties One Of the
prolific sources Of matrimonial difficulties
is the lack Of knowledge on the part Of
wives of the duties Of housekeeping. 10
these days there are a hundred young ladies
who can thrum piano to the one who can
make a good loaf Of bread Yet a hus.
baud has so much Of the animal n his ma.
ture that he cares more for good dinner
than he does long as his appetite /. un-
appeased-to listen to the music Of seraphs.
Heavy bread has made many heavy hearts,
given rise to dyspepsia-horrid dyspepsia
and its herd Of accompanying torments.
Girls who desire that their husbands should
be amiable aud kind, should learn how to
make light bread. When young man is
counting, he can live at home or, if he has
to 60 distance to pay bis addresses, he
usually obtains gVUd meals At q hotel or
eating-house but when he is married, and
gets to housekeeping, his wife assumes the
function Of his mother or his landlord, and
it is fortunate for her if she has been ed.
lucated to know what good table rs.
Those who are entirely dependent upon
hired cooks make a sorry show at house.
keeping. The stomach performs a very
important part in the economy Of human.
ity, aud wives who are forgetfu Of this fact
commit serious mistake Even the lion
may be tanned by keeping him well fed,
and the true dignity and munidcence Of the
housewife Is stored in the larder rather
than in her wardrobe, though unfortunately
too many ladies bestow far more time
aud attention upon the latter than upon the
former.

Seasonable Food.

The wholesomeness Of food depends nearly
as much upon the time it is taken as on the
quantity. We have grown SO luxurious il
our physical as well as mental tastes. that
we are constantly tempted to eat things out
Of season. Yielding to the temptation as
we often do, we pay the penalty, soon OF
late, in temporary or chronic arrangement
of our health. The meat which is excel.
lent in cold may not be desirable in warm
weather fish is best during spring aud
early summer; vegetables and fruit are nu.
tritious when they are fully ripencd by sun
and season, and not artifcially stimulated

fittest for such latitude. We need variety
not 80 much at one time as from time "a

not hurt us but the deicacies out of sea,

appetite so jaded as to crave oysters il

careful correction by the adoption Of the
simplest habits. The palate naturally rel.
ishes what Nature has near at hand As o
rule, not only is the simplest food the best
food, but the most seasonable is, in the long
run, the most appetizing There is no diff
fculty in determining what we should eat
since the products Of our climate show Us
plainly month by month Fish, flesh and
fruit by their plumpness, tenderness and
ripeness, themselves denote when they arc
ready to be eaten. A sound stomach win
profit by whatever an unspoiled palate
enjoys.

A CIRCULAR signed by Dr. Dollinger
convening a Conference at Bonn, next Sep

Churches, and desiring the great future
union of Christians" has been published
The purpose of the Conference is stated to
be an examination Of the formula Of
faith of the first centuries of the Church, as
also the doctrines and institutions which
were held essential and indispensable in
the Universal Church Of the East and
West before the great separation 1t is
not intended to fuse existing churches, but
to establish ecclesiastical communion on the

WHAT IS PRAYER ?--Itis a communion
with God. Oh brethren, prayer is not an
apostrophe to woods, and wilds, and waters,
1t is not moan cast forth into the viewless
winds, or bootless behest expended on a
passing cloud. 1t is not a paintiye cry
directed to an empty echo, that can send
back nothing but another cry, Prayer is a
living heart that speaks in living ear--the
ear Of the living God.

10 the atlantic, Professor Shaler has an
article on "The Moon" from which we
take the following; Few Of those who
have only seen the moon with the naked
eye have an idea of the extent and accu-
racy Of the information which has been
gained concerning its physical character.
IL is not too much to say that we know the
general topography'of Of this side of the moon
much better than we know that of any of
the great land masses of the earth except
Europe. There is not one crater over
mile in diameter, nor single hill thou
sand feet high, which has not been seen
again and again by the many observers
who are now studying its surface. Noun
tains might be made or unmade even in the
center of our Oldest and most peopled con.
tnonts, aud the scientific world would
know nothing OF it but it is hardly possi-
bic for any considerable change to take
place on the hither side Of that world
quarter Of a million Of miles away, without
being observed before single month
elapses. We may see more clearly Just
what the observing powers are, If we con.
ceivc tho astronomer placed in the moon
and looking down upon the surface Of
North America with the same powers that
the observer can apply to our satellite. BY
the naked eye, with the earth full lii by
the sun, the twin continents Of North and
South America could bo seen for their
whole length at once. In tho twelve hours
in which they would swing up from the
darkness, and back into it again, as the
earth made its daily revolution, every part
of this ten thousand miles Of land would be
easily looked over. The mountains and
deserts would show on the greenish, vor-
dure.clad continents the enVironing sea
would throw back varied tints according
to its state Of agitation or repose. Though
the great features of land and sea would be
visible, all detail would be wanting"
TnE best relief you can give man in
these times, who is out Of work, is not
soup nor meal, but--employment. There
are no more sadly expressive words in the
world than " out Of work" "0ut Of work"
means no fire, no clothing; the gradual sinking
ofappliances for comfort in the pawnbroker's
shop, the heart sickness Of hopeless longing,
the ruin Of drink, and the destruction Of
humanity. The greatest charity to the
laborer, nowadays, is employment; his
greatest curse some trade union or league,
which compels him to give up work because
he is not receiving the "trade" wages.
