WHEN MUSICAL EDUCATION SHOULD
BEGIN.-A writer in Appletons' Journal
thinks that ''The frequently adopted
plan of waiting to see whether children
have any taste or show any love- for
music is a wrong one. No child would
prefer practising scales to playing ball; /;
and few boys, if the cultivation of
their tastes depended upon the whims
of their everything fsncies, would turn
into educated men. First give them
the opportunity of forming taste, and
for its development trust to the
aesthetic element of their nature.

CHILBLAIN REMEpY.-When chilblains
manifest themselves, the best remedy,
not only for preventing their ulcerating,
but overcoming the tingling, itching
pain, and stimulating the circulation
of the part to healthy action, is the
liniment of Belladona, two drachms I;
the liniment of aconite, one drachm /;
carbolic acid, ten drops to collodion
aexile, one ounce painted with a
camel's hair pencil over the surface.
When the chilblains vesicate, ulcerate,
or slough, it is better to omit the
aconite, and apply the other COM
ponents of the liniment without it.
The collodion fexile forms a coating or
protecting film. which excludes the air,
while the sedative liniments allay the
irritation, generally of no trivial nature.

A Wrong Custom Corrected.

1t is quite generally the custom to
take strong liver stimulants for the
cure of liver complaint, and both the
mineral and vegetable Kingdoms have
been diligently searched to procure the
most drastic and poisonous purgatives,
in order To produce powerful effect
upon the liver, and arouse the tagging
and enfeebled organ. This system of
treatment is on the same principle as
that of giving a weak and debilitated
man large portions of brandy to enable
him to do certain amount of work.
When the stimulant is withheld. the
organ, like the system, gradually re-
lapses into a more torpid or sluggish
and weakened condition than before.
What then is wantedf Medicines, which
while they cause the bile to flow freely
from the liver. as that organ is toned
into action, will not overwOrk and thus
debilitate it, but will, when their use is
discontinued, leave the liver strength
ened and healthy. Such remedies are
found in DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and Purgative Pellets.

To MAKE SHEEPsKIN MATs.-Wash
while fresh in strong soapsuds, first
picking from the wool all the dirt that
will come out. A little kerosene, a ta-
blespoonful of three gallons of water,
will aid in removing the impurities.
Continue to wash the skin in fresh suds
till it is white and clean. Then dis
solve half pound each of salt and
alum in three pints of boiling water,
put it into water enough to cover the
skin, which should soak in the solution
twelve hours, and then be hung on a
line to drain. When nearly dry, nail it
wool-side on a board, or side of barn,
to dry. Rub into the skin an ounce
each of pulverized alum and saltpeter,
and if the skin is very large, double
the quantity. Rub for an hour or two.
Fold the skin sides together, and lay
the mat away for three days, rubbing
it every day, or till perfectly dry. Then
with blunt knife clear the skin of i'm
purities, rub it with pumice or rotten
stone, trim it into shape, and you have
a door mat that will last lifetime.

DOMESTIC.

KEEPING HOUSE oSA SMALL SALARY.
After many years of married life
passed in comparative affiuence reverses
came, and my husband was obliged to
accept . situation in large city, with
q small salary of eight hundred dollars
per year. felt that this could suffice
for our maintenance only by the exer-
else of the strictest economy. Still de-
termined to solve the problem OF the
day-namely, whether one could keep
house on q small salary, or whether
boarding house life was a necessity, as
SO many clerks wives assert.
Thirty replies were received to our
advertisement for two unfurnished
rooms, without board. Looking them
over carefully, selected half a dozen
which came within our means, and
started on an exploring expedition In
a pleasant house and neighborhood /
found lady willing to rent two adjoin-
ing rooms. with closets and water con-
veniences, for the modest sum of twelve
dollars per month. In one room there
were two deep south windows, where l
could keep few plants in the winter.
I consulted my husband, and with his
approval engaged the rooms.
We had one hundred and seventy
five dollars, ready money. With this
we bought bright, but inexpensive car
pets, a parlor cook stove, an oiled black
walnut set of furniture, a table, a
student lamp, a few dishes, and some
coal. With the few pictures, a rack
of books, and some ornaments in our
possession, we decked the rooms taste
fully, and commenced the serious busi-
ness of keeping house on eight hundred
dollars per year. We determined from
the first that we would not have any ac-
counts, but would pay cash for every
thing, and when we could not afford an
article, do without it. After paying
rent and washerwoman We had fifty
dollars per month for other expenses,
Twenty dollars of this furnished q
plentiful supply of food and paid car
fare. 1 learned to love work. Strength
came with each day. labor, and renewed
health repaid each effort put forth to
make my little home pleasant and rest
full to my husband. And how we did
enjoy that little home
When the stormy nights came, we
drew our curtains, shutting out the
world, with bright fire, and the soft
glow of our reading-lamp upon the
crimson cloth, reading magazine or
evening paper, lin which we were able
to indulge), with ''God pity the poor
this dreadful night" forgetting in our
cozy and comfortable home how many
there were in the great city who would
call us poor. We always kept within
my husbands salary, wearing plain but
good and respectable clothing, and eat
ing simple but substantial food. And
now, as circumstances have been i'm
proving with us, and We are living in a
house all our own, with servants, and
thousands instead of hundreds a year,
we look back to the year spent in our
simple, frugal little home, and know
that it will always be the happiest por-
tion of our lives. -Scribner's Magazine.

II saws that the assertion may sound
strange and harsh, il not brutal, but SO
far as the general welfare and common
good Of mankind is concerned, few lives
are 50 proitubiy expended AS those Of
the unfortunate victims OF railroad ac.
cidcuts. 1t discusses the numerous
causes of human fatality:--in-
temperance, bad sewerage, worse venti-
lation and disease generally, and takes
the ground that while whole bsttalions
fall from these causes, still this loss Of
life works out little or nothing Coz the
cause o. science or future benefit to the
race. 1t SAYS that If the blood of the
MARTYRS is the seed of the church, IN
these cases the seed, is felrfully slow in

IS no doubt very pleasing to such to
