ways thm riding OF walking, even !;
they require to use their hands and
arms, to throw ont their chests, to

health lift, no gymnastic is half SO
good for this purpose as making
beds, and sweeping, dlSting and
arranging rooms. Then there is
something peculiarly agreeable in
the Thought that an intclli-
gent hand touches and smooths
sheets and pillows, cvens everything
off nicely, removes with care dust
from vases, bottlos, books, and.sccrct
hooks and cornors, leaves the toilet
apparatus in order, and takes away
whatever is unsightly The time
required is very little indeed, when
the work is done with regularity,
and the satisfaction is immcnsc.--
