Matrimonial Economy.

l)r. Lorenz Won Stein, one of the most
eminent OF the Austrian political ccono-
mlSts, has recently made some admirable
suggestions III lecture to the German
students in that city upon "woman i'm
the sphere of national economy" which
arc worthy of reproduction in discussing
tins important question, although his sta
tlstlcal theories are somewhat 1T variance
with American practice and American
management of the household finances.
Won Stein divides the entire family in
come into two distinct parts. The first.
which depends entirely upon business and
capital, belongs, to the husband. The
second part, which pertains to household
economy, he subdividcs into six parts.
-Four of these. including that part of the
income to be devoted TO the dwelling, the
standing wants, such rs dress, light, fire
and servants, the expense of sickness
death, insurance and recreation, and a
certain sum set apart Us the family saw
lngs-boN for the subsequent benefit of
the children, are to be under the imme-
diate jurisdiction of husband and wife
together. The wife alone has the sole
charge of the other two parts, which in
clude the daily and weekly expenses of
housekeeping. He thercupon demands
that the wife, who thus has charge of
one-third of the ifc-cconomy and an equal
jurisdiction in the other two-th:rds, shall
make the closest possible estimates Of all
items of expense and of the prices and
quantities of commodities Upon this
point and its Importance he says: at is
more important that girls should know
how much family with an income of
loo or 2,400 forms should spend on
flour and meat, turnips and sugar, than
how much nitrogen and oxygen enter into
Their composition-most important for
them to know how much it costs 70 feed
a lamp during a winter, and how much
clothing and washing the household needs,
or o.. how much fuel is required to cook for
five persons. With this supervision over
the expenses under her charge, the wife
is to have the care of the house and see
that all things are in order and nothing
is wasted or lost"
There is vast deal of wisdom and
sound philosophy in DIR. Won STEMS sug-
gestions, ana they arc notaltogcthcr with
out sentimental bearing They have a
very evident bearing upon connubial hap
piness, since good ard economical house
keeping can make a happy home and bad
cannot. 1t would probably

prudence, economy and thrift are very
sure to cement more closely the bonds of

Stein says: "The frugal wife in her neat
dress at breakfast, who sends her husband
to his business with good spirits, has more
hold on him, year in and year out, than
the spcndthrift pleasurc-seekcr who tries
to charm him in the evening by her silks

How TO Grow Mushrooms.

Mushrooms may be cultivated simply
by taking manure from the stable in
small heaps, as little broken as possible,
and laying them about three inches thick
on a hotbed made Of alternate layers of
tanners bark and horse-dung, the upper
most layer consisting of tanners bark
about two inches thick. Cover the bed
then with 81 little manure and about three
inches of good soil, and over all thick
coat of straw. The manure containing
the germs may be known by the appear.

The following passage from Gregory
Narlanscn is the most extraordinary
specimen of rhetorical power we are ac-
quaintcd withal
Tom Moore in his fiowcry essay on the
Greek Fathers, which appeared in the
Edinburg Review, called it most in
spircd piece of dcclamations. infinitely
superior to anything of the same Kind
in the whole range of English literature.
Its effect is not spoiled in translation.
IT is worthy of popularization. Joe
Brcnan, the leading writer Of the old
New Orleans Dclta-a young Irish exile,
2S years of age, a genius, poet, an ora
tor, brilliant prose writer, endowed
with the greatest conversational powers,
and !: brave and gallant gentleman, rem
dercd this piece into English. Poor
Brenan died in 1857 in New Orleans, the
| city of his adoption, where he became
famous. He never stole any mans
money, nor any mans thoughts. Had
he lived a few years longer he would
have become renowned all ever our
country. Hc rests in peace, out of the
turmoil and villainics of our modern
! society, in New Orleans, in an obscure
corner of the old Catholic St. Louis
cemetery. We often visit the grave OF
| the inspired poet, and always leave it
with the consolation that few of the
! living amongst us can, when their last
hour comes, sleep so soundly as our dear
Joe Brenan.
The following is his translation:
