Household Exercise.

4 Dishwashing is good for :dyspeptics
1t is light exercise of the arms and
chest soon after meals and it may be
done sitting as we'll as standing. A
high Office stool is very useful in the
kitchen. Feeble women, who do their
town work." often stand upon their
feet more than necessary. You can
sit down to dress vegetables, to wash
and wipe dishes, to knead bread, to
iron, and to do many other things
You may be little more slow about
the work, but you will get through it
in better condition. Housekeepers
would often like to take an outdoor
walk, only their eject are SO tired"
Dishwashing would not be half so
disagreeable as it often is, if the dishes
es were lightly scraped free from
crumbs, and neatly piled up for wash
ing. There should be large dish-pan
and plenty of hot water, with which to
fill up tho pan gradually as it's con-
tents cool. l seldom use soap for
for washing dishes, but to the unskill-
ed, or to those who use much butter
and fat in their cooking, it seems ne
cessity.
Sweeping is good exercise if the
floors and carpets are not dusty. All (!
that "it!" Bedmaking will serve as
gymnastics, if the beds are kept clean
and aired.
And what of washing9 do not think
highly of the old fashioned wash board
exercise. 1t is hard for both lungs and
back. With good washers aud wrius-
ers, with strong arms for lifting, it
may be made passable as exercise and
it is always a pleasure to sec soiled
things clean once more. >fistf
A moderate amount of ironing is
good for women in health, in cool
weather. On hot days endeavor to do
it in cool room or on shady porch.
Cooking is perhaps the most impor-
tant part of Homework, and its exer-
else is not heavy in quality, though to
some it may be burdensome in quanti-
ty. 1t seems to me more like high
art, or disnified occupation, worthy to
be called professionally moro hon
oroble than-the legal profession, for
instance. l should not wonder if real
ly good and scientific cooks could do
more to preserve and to restore health
than the doctors of medicine can. AS
with ironing, the hardest kiud of cook
cry is the least necessary-the orna-
mental part. We should study to
make our cooking work as ii ght as
possible. For instance, bread may be
baked in the oven instead of cooking
it upon the griddle in the form of pan
cakes, and in hot weather we can avoid
those forms of food that require con-
slant stirring while cooking.
There is great deal of necessary
work to be done in the world in order
that we may all be comfortably fed,

WORTH KNowlNG.-Dr Glass, living
near CRANKY, who is clearing up a new
farm, has been troubled with large
number of black OAK stumps. He had
heard that saltpetre was good for stumps.
Accordingly about couple months
ago he sprinkled on the top of each
stump about a tablespoonful of saltpe-
tre A few days ago he set fire to
these stumps, and says they commenced
and continued to burn until every
stump was totally consumed, roots and
all, so that he was able to plough with
out the least difficulty oven the very
ground formerly occupied by these
large stumps. He says some of the
stumps burned four or FIVE days. Farm
ers, try the doctors remedy; he saws it
will not fail. The Doctor also saws
that if your cabbage plants are troubled
with little black bugs you can save ev.
cry one of them by springling them
lightly with Cayenne pepper. Use an
ordinary table pepper-box. This is a
dead shot. CRANKY (1fo } Miner.

TIE TRUE LADY.

With certain class of unthinkinr
people, ''lady" signifies that feminine
representative possessing weighty
pocket book a first class establish
ment; servants at command; radiant in
all the paraphernalia Of modern aristoc
racy. Thus endowed, her modicum of
superiority is perfect to acceptance
Agan, a second remnant assume as a
basis that miserable sacrifice of natural
grace which we term affectation rest
ing their claims to ladyism on dancing
school bows, puckered lispings, and
like disagrecables; third veil their
yulgarlty from their special circles but
to render 1t the more odious to general
humanity aud SO we might enumerate
Indefinitely. But these arrogant danes
who seem to think that they are made
Of superior clay, are not types of the
true lady, whose strongest charac-
teristic is her equal demeanor toward
all; neither disdaining her interiors, nor
favoring them with that overwhelming
condescension SO unnecessary and cb-
noxious. Concerning this last, many
"would be ladies' deem it steadfast
base of popularity-somewhat of the
politician element seemingly animating
these feminine organizations. But
kindllness being the actuating power of
all genuine politeness, is to the true
lady an instructive guide, equalizing all
grades of society; impelling her to all
goodly graces, and rendering her,
wherever she goes. a welcome and
courted guest.

DECORATION DAY.-Next Saturday is
the day that the nation commentaries
the death of the noble soldiers who laid
down their lives for their country.
How fitting it is that We who live, and
were spared through that long and
bloody strife, should scatter flowers
over the graves Of our fallen comrades
and friends. In most towns through
out the United States this ceremony
will be performed. Why not observe it
here? The 3Oth of May is legal holi-
day, made so by Congress, and it is fit
ting that this day should be spent in the
manner recommended. The observance
Of the day is not only fitting remem-
brance of the noble deeds of our gal
liant boys who have laid down their
lives in defense of their country, but
at the same time credit to the COM
munity.

A DIsGRAcE.--We passed through the
old graveyard near the southern part
of town one day last week, and were
shocked to see the condition the graves
were in. No fence whatever is there
around it, to keep out intruding ami
mails, and the tombstones lie scattered
about broken, and removed far from
the grave to which they belong. It
seems like sacrilege to thus let the sa-
cred spot where the bones of our fel-
low mertals lie, be trampled under foot
by man and beast. Why do not those
interested see that something is done to
have these bodies removed to the cem-
etery, or have the graveyard enclosed
and properly cared for.

DISEASES OF THE BLOoD@"The Blood
is the Life" When this source is cor
rupted, the painful and sorrow-produ-
cling effects are visible in many shapes.
The multifarious forms in which it man.
ifests itself, would form subjects upon
which I might write volumes. But as
all the varied forms of disease which
depend upon bad blood are cured, or
best treat ed, by such medicines as take
up from this fluid and excrete from the
system the noxious elements, it is not of
practical Importance that should de
scribe each. For instance, medical au-
thors describe about fifty varieties of
skin disease, but as they all require for
their cure very similar treatment it is
of no practical utility to know just
what name to apply to certain form
of skin disease, so you know how best
to cure it. Then again l might 60 on
and describe various kinds of scroful-
Gus sores, fever sore, white swellings,
enlarged glands, and ulcers of varying
appearance; might describe how viru-
lent poison may show itself in various
forms of eruptions, ulcers, sore throat,
bony tumors, etc. ; but as all these vari-
GUS appearing manifestations Of bad
blood are cured by a uniform means, I
deem such course unnecessary. Thor
oughly cleanse the blood, which is the
great fountain of life, and good diges-
ton, fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital
strength, and soundness of constitution
will all return to us. For this purpose
