HOUSEHOLD.
Putting Things Away
FOR MEN TO READ.

Do women ever think how much time
they spend in picking up and putting
away! OF course we do not mean to in
innate that it is wasted, or that all this
labor is done unnecessarily. Women have
vast amount of such work to perform,
and few men realize its extent or its ne
cessity until some accident or circum-
stances brings it home to them.
A married man said once, that he never
realized the amount of work done in
bringing things out and putting them
away, until he happened to sit idly,
watching the operation of setting the
table-"getting tea,' as it was called-at
a neighbours house, washing the dishes
and clearing them away. 1t struck him,
for the first time, how much real labor had
to be done in lifting and carrying between
table and pantry, and he determined to
lessen such labor in his house, as much as
possible, by constructing kitchen in his
house with every facility and convenience.
He thought, with Il sort of CONSERVATION,
if one ''tea" requires that amount of labor,
what must the work of house for life
time amount to! A very pretty problem
which we would like to have answered.
1t is a fact, however, that putting
things away" becomes a sort of mania
with some neat housewives, and not only
gives them a vast amount of trouble, but
sours their temper, and is source of an
noyance to every member of the family.
From habit probably of being upon one
spot all the time, eternally seeing and do
ing the same things, it becomes a sort of
mania, and is, in fact, symptom of dis
case. We think good plan, in such a
case, would be, for the husband to insist
on his wife taking journey, making a
visit home, Or spending couple of weeks
at a watering place. The change of
scene, the breaking up of the monotony
of her life would do her world of good.
Her ideas would become enlarged; her
thoughts travel out of their accustomed
routine and when she returned she would
take up Life less as a burden, and more as
a basket of flowers, from which it is pos
sible to extract beauty and fragrance.

A COMMON SCoID.-Scolding is mostly a
habit. There is not much meaning to it..
1t is often the result of nervousness, and
an irritable condition of both mind and
body. A person is tired or annoyed at
some trivial cause, and forthwith COM
mences finding fault with everything and
everybody in reach. Scolding is habit
very easily formed. 1t is astonishing how
soon one who INDUCES in it at all becomes
addicted to it and confirmed in it. 1t is
an unreasoning and unreasonable habit.
Persons who once get into the way Of
scolding always find something to scold
about. If there is nothing else, they fall
a-scolding at the mere absence of any
thing to scold at. 1t is an extremely dis
agreeable habit. 1t is contagious. Once
introduced into family, it is pretty GER
tain in short time to affect all the mem
bers People in the country more readily
fall into the habit of scolding than the
people in town. Women contract the
habit more frequently than men. This
may be because they live more frequently
in the house, in confined and heated at
mosphere, very trying to the nervous sys
tenn and the health in general; and it may
be partly, that their natures are more sus-
ceptible, and their sensitiveness more
easily wounded.-Baptist Weekly.

Give Plenty of Feed to Cows.

1t is probably true that fifty per cent.
of the profit which might be realized from
the dairy stock Ofthis country, is annually
lost to their owners, from want of the
necessary quantity and the proper quality
of food which should be given them. L.
F. Allen gives experiments by DR.. Rho
deeldena, of the Royal Academy of Agri-
culture, in Prussia, of the comparative
yield of milk from cows by pasturing and
stable feeding, or soiling through seven
years of each system The average Per
COW for the whole seven years in pastur-
ing was, 1888 quarts, while the average
per COW for the whole seven years of sta
bling or soiling, was 3,442 quarts. From
this result it il seen that the COW is ca
pablc of producing one hundred per
cent. more than she usually does, pro-
vided she is kept in the most comfortable
manner, and fed with the greatest milk
producing substances. She may produce
but half of the above quantities if not
properly housed in the winter, and scan
tily fed during the whole year. In either
case, the original cost or value of the COW
is the same; the care is about the same
while all the loss in her production is
caused by lack in quantity and quality
of food, coupled with lack of com
fort during the Indictment seasons Of the
year.

CARING FOR FARM lMPLEMENTs.-Th
Journal Of the Farm well says: There is
no principle in farming better established
than that all tools and machines should
be housed when not in use, and the farmer
who neglects this is greatly wanting IN
the element of economy. The moving
machine that is left standing in the fence
corner cannot be expected to do good
work, and for wooden implements the
case is worse still. The prudent farmer
not only houses his implements, but he
devotes rainy and snowy days to repair
ing them. A moving machine, the jour
nails ofwhich are cleaned Of their accumu
lation of grimed grease and CAREFUL.

A Good Thlng.

To prevent the numerous accidents 10

This runs about two inches about tile

the wheels from the track, the clamp ai

About Labor.

Mr.. John Walter, NJ. p, principal
proprietor Of the London Times, In a re
cent address, calls tho gospel" Of
many bad workmcn in various parts Of
tho world the adago that "good work Is
bad for trade." In other words, thor
oughly and honestly manufactured ar.
ticles :" Inst too long" The tendency Of
competition is cheapness rather than OK
ccllence; but those who follow this idea
forget that the reputation Of tho work
nan is found IN the durability Of his
work, and that when an article breaks or
falls in the hands Of the purchaser, the
character Of the maker breaks or falls
with 1t. Tho discipline OF labor Is TO
teach conscientious thoroughness. The
workman should take pride in his work,
or, to use a significant expression, "put
his character into it." The sentences
with which the address concludes are:
No station Is so high as to be exempt
from this duty; none so low ID not TO be
dignified by the faithful discharge Of it.
The works themselves upon which all
this labor is bestowed must, Of neces-
sity, perish; but the qualities which
have been gained by tho faithful and
honest discharge Of the daily duties Of
life will endure forever, and find scoops
for their exercise in higher and nobler

A Plague Of Rats.

A Rangoon correspondent OF the Lon.
don Times whites 70 that journal as
follows While Bengal Inns lately strug.
gled through famine crisis tho Kurens
country, lying on the confines OF Bur.
nah proper, has narrowly escaped n
crisis Of the same kind, but in this in.
stance rats, and not drought, we're the
cause OF the scarcity. II appears that
certain parts OF Burmah are periodically
visited by . plague Of rats. Hosts Of
them march across county, and attack
the roots Of the crops and the grain III
the villages, and actually drive ont the
people, and cause whole villages TO be
deserted by their depredations. Such a
plague had appeared near Tounghoo,
and some suffering Ind arisen in conse.
quencc, but the government appear 10
have provided food for those in want OF
Il, and nil fear Of famine is how ayerted.
A forester, but few weeks slice, as liz
was going to visit the teak forests rented
byR large firm in Bombay, witnessed
the passage OF an army Of rats as they
crossed the Sittang. He was at thai
time gliding down stream in his boat,
and the boatman called his attention "a
large black mass swarming down the
nigh banks. They turned out to be rats,
and as they swan across the river they
kept a kind OF military formation. He
represents their numbers TO have beer
myraids. They passed close 10 the
boat, and were large field rats. The
late DIR. Mason, in his book on Buhmah,
mentions the plague they were TO the
country, but until their depreaationl
had spread TO such a large extent as they
did last year their presence was ignored.
It appears that they generally keep neal
billy country, and scour the plains at
seasons when tho nuts or fruits in the
hills fail them. ~
