A Familiar Domestic Picture.

Shaking carpet is feature of house
cleaning which thoroughly enlists the
attention of the man of the house. 1t is
done after dinner. The reason the
women selects this time is because he is
dressed, and has to go back to business
again without chance to change his
clothes. He carries the carpet out
doors. 1t is not rolled up; it is in
wad shape, and he gathers it up in his
arms and starts for the door, with one
end of the carpet dragging between his
feet. He scorns to stop and roll it up.
He has got his arms full. 1t presses
into his bosom and leaves riffs of sand
and grit on his shirt-front; it bulges
into his face-hot and dusty-and fills
his mouth and nose and eyes then the
long end gets under one foot as no is
going down the back stoop, and the
other foot mounts up the breadth, and
he stumbles but catches himself, and
prevents falling to the ground on his
face by deliberately yet blindly jumping
off the stoop. He finally gets the car
pet on the line. 1t is very warm. There
is breeze from the west. He steps on
the side of the carpet and hits it lick
with stick. Instantly the wind turns
sharp around to the east, and he is in
| quilted in dust. He darts around to the
east side and hits it another lick. The
wind veers round to the west simultane.
ously, and he is plunged into sneezing
fit which seriously threatens to dislocate
his neck. Then he pauses and looks
around uneasily. He sees that carpet
has the same effect on the wind as q
sieve full of coal ashes, and he doesn t
understand it. He gets clothes-pole
and stands around it at the north end,
and hits the carpet terrible rap. The
wind promptly sails around to the south
and catches him full in the face with a
pint of dust before the pole has fairly
left the carpet. He doesn't stop to
reason now. He would be jackass il
he did. He grasps the pole with all
his might and madly smashes it against
the carpet, and dances around the line.
and coughs, and sneezes and swears.
After that it is pulled down, and the
hired girl, with the strength of an OK
takes hold of an end with him, and they
proceed to shake it. His hands are il
blisters across the palms, and his fingers
aching with the grasp on the pole, Cal
seem to find no hold ON the wool ant
warp. At every other shake they glide
off, starting the nails and causing hi
: arms to Jingle clear to the elbows. AnC
every time he picks mp that carpet h
does it with renewed energy and
weaker backbone. The most we CO..

Educated Natives.

A native gentleman writes to the
Friend of India from Behar +: 1 asked
an opulent zemindar the other day !:
"Why don't you educate your son, in
stead of loading him with ornaments
as a temptation to some ruffian to muir
der himl With grave face he told
me that his nephew had learned to read
and write, and was looked upon as a
learned young man in the village f; but
he died Of smallpox, and the same coin
cidence having occurred in his uncle's
family, it is now settled once for all that
learning in our family is inauspicious,
and brings adversely and death" 1t is
the fact that nothing will induce any
member of this family to learn. "Do
we not see hundreds of educated men, "
added he, absolutely starving, while
ignorant men are enjoying ease and
comfort Besides, learning units a
man of our clan to follow his walk Of
life, and in ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred learning makes a man good
for nothing"

A Pitiable Case.

A case Of great hardship in the New
York Jail devoted to prisoners arrested
for debt is that of John Brandt, militia
man, with blind wife and six children,
and his wages only nine dollars a week,
who was member of the Ninety sixth
regiment, and was imprisoned for owing
thirty four dollars fines to the regiment,
with which he had been connected for
three years. He said one of his children
died, and the few dollars he had went to
burying her. He had no coat or vest,
and his family was starving. The poor
German, who was unacquainted with
English, said the man who induced him
to join the regiment represented that it
was kind of benevolent affair, and that
he would not be obliged to pay anything,
but would receive help if he suffered.

Upon q survey Of the main conditions al
fecting trade, we feel justified in concluding
that the results of the business of this fall are
likely to be more satisfactory than anything
we have experienced since the panic. II
seems quite likely that, provided no unfore-
seen misfortune should occur, the feeling IN
trade circles will improve as the season ad-
yances, and that the trade Of the latter half
will be especially satisfactory. Buyers are
at present universally supplying themselves
with great caution but should Su d.d prove
to market early, and that the price Of 81 per
bushel for wheat at the Northwest brings large
supplies to market, and that high prices for
dncts. we should in all probability find the
later orders from the West and South very
large, causing the season to wind up with
much spirit and an improved feeling.
Upon the whole, then, there is reason to
look to the fall business with hope, as the
beginning Of general recovery OF trade ss and
with which merchants have SO long been
familiar.

FERTILIZERS FROM FOWLS.

1t would seem as though enough
had already been said about the
Importance of saving all fertilizing
material about the farm, and especial
ly that from the poultry, which
experience has abundantly shown
to be worth as much as the artificial
fertilizers that cost three cents a
pound and upward. Few farmers
would allow their wheat, corn or
oats to be scattered and wasted as
their hen manure is, YET the latter IS
worth as much as the former, pound
for pound. Poultry should always
have tight, well lighted and warm
apartment for their Winter quarters,
and the roosts should be so arranged
that the dropplngs can be saved, frse
foom dirt and rubbish.
The best way is to have large
tray under the roosts, made of
boards. This should be cleaned out
frequently, and sprinkled with plast-
er or dry earth. The manure should
be kept in boxes or barrels, perfectly
dry, and will then lose none of its
valuable properties. Neither lime
nor ashes should ever be mixed with
it while composing it, which is best
done by adding double the quantity
of dry earth to the manure, mixing it
we'll with the shovel, moistering it
moderately, and shoveling it over
every three or four days, until ready
to use it. 1t should be moistened
sufficiently to allow Of its being
broken up and we'll mixed with the
earth; but when so moistened it is
apt to heat, and the shoveling over
necessary to prevent this, and the
consequent loss of valuable proper
ties. A handful of this compost in
a hill of corn will give it powerful
start.-Western Rural

GAS THE TWIG IS BENT

We often hear mothers wondering
why their daughters are so lndolent
or ignorant Of household matters, or
carelesss in their habits. They
complain, and sold, ard fret over it,
but they make no attempt to teach
them any better. The fault lies
with the mothers themselves; instead
of training their girls to habits of
industry and neatness, instead of
instructing them in household ways,
they have allowed them to grow up
without any training at all. Girls
are not going to learn these things
of their own accord; they must be
taught from the time they are old
enough to learn how to be neat and
industrious. Train them carefully
in household ways; teach them how
to make buildings, and cakes, and
preserves; show them how TO be tidy
about house, how to do everything
In the neatest manner. Teach them
both by precept and example it is
worth the trouble /; for, instead of
having drones and slatterns about
you, you will have well-trained and
useful help.
