Sweeping.

Every hnusekeeper or servant Girl
thinks she knows hoe to sweep. BE this
AS IL may, there are few who pursue il in
an enlightened and systematic manner.
There Is NO necessity for raising a cloud

Tor cleaning the corners of the CARPET;
divide the room into four sections; re.
move the furniture from one and sweep
from the corner toward the center with a
light stroke, drawing the broom care

carpet two or three times, increasing the
strength of the stroke each time; care
must be observed as the centre of the
room is neared. After the section is
swept, replace the furniture and sweep
the rest likewise. In this way, with a
little care, a large room may be swept
with but little dust, and it will be clean,
too. Many advise sprinkling the carpet
with bran coffee grounds or tea-leaves;
but in our experience we have found
them, in one way or another, more both
ersome than serviceabe. When car

of wetted paper, strewn over it before
sweeping, answer very WE'LL then, when
all is cleaned, wipe off the carpet with a
cloth wrung as dry as possible from u
pail Of warm water, to which spoonful
or so of ammonia has been added. DO
not wipe more than half yard without
rinsing the cloth; change the water fre-
qCently. When a carpet becomes dusty,
why not take it up and shake it3 1t
would surely be saving of strength and
labor, and we believe if housekeepers
would shake those carpets which are in
constant use four times instead of but
twice year, they would find it not only
an improvement in cleanliness, but
great saving in their carpets.-Bwal Ne'O

Nutritiye Value of Corn.

The prejudice existing against the use
of maize as an article of human food
among certain classes of people is sur
prising, and this prejudice is based on ig-
nOrance.
Indian corn is one of the most import
ant and healthful articles of human food
that abenefcent Providence has bestowed
upon man; and to its highest nutritive
value is due in large degree the strength
and yigor of race of men who laid the
foundations of this great republic. 1t
was much more largely used fifty or one
hundred years ago than now, as fine
wheat flour, for some not well-founded
reason, has usurped its place in bread
making. In the several forms, however,
of hulled corn, popped corn, hominy,
samp, corn starch, maizena,, ETC., vast
quantities are consumed by all classes Of
people.
Meal from Indian corn contains more
than four times as much oleagin0us mat
ter as wheat flour, more starch, and near
ly as much nitrogenous material; conse-
quently, in all cold climates it is admira-
bly, adapted to sustain the system by fur
nishing heat-forming compounds. The
oil gives warmth, the ntrogenous princi-
pie gives muscular strength. The COM
bination of alimentary compounds in In
dian corn renders it alone the mixed diet
capable of sustaining man under the most
extraordinary circumstances. 1t holds
the elementary principles which consti-
tute the basis Of organic life. In this par
ticular it is more remarkable than any
other vegetable production known to
man. There is large number of dishes
of which corn meal forms the basis,
which are exceedingly palatable.

Give the Names.

Tender-hearted reader, do not waste
your tears and pity and indignation over
the heart-rending articles that describe
the ruin which some tiend in human
form has wrought in one of the wealth..
est and most refined families of any par.
ticular city, in which names are kindly
suppressed by the maguanimous reporter,
on account Of the high respectability of
the parties or the anguish of the lady's
family. Bless your simple souls, never
suffer yourselves to feel sad or indignant
or pitiful over any article in which the
names are kindly suppressed. For the
man who writes these things would get
up at two o'clock in the morning, with
the thermometer one hundred and ninety
degrees below zero, and walk barefoot
from here to the Rocky Mountains, to dis
cover and print the name of the slightest
offenders in such cases, aud when he says
he suppresses the names you may know
he has never suppressed anything but the
truth. That's one reason why people
love this column so dearly. They know
it's all sober truth, solemn fact, because
we always give names and places and
dates. You never catch US suppressing a
painful fact about Mr.. Bilderback or
Middlerib or Dresseldorf or Bostwick,
because its publication may hurt their
feelings. Never. Truth always for us
Truth before anything. Truth before
breakfast; like cocktail. Then it lasts
all day. That same early truth.-Ha,ok.

How TO MAKE BUCKwHEAT Cakes
The season for buckwheat cakes will soon
arrive, and our experience is that the
finest, tenderest cakes can be made by
adding little unbolted wheat (or Gra-
ham) -four TO the buckwheat. Less than
a quarter will do. Mix with cold sour
milk, or fresh mot sweet buttermilk,
which is best. The soda (emptyings are
dispensed with, when put in cold water,
will not act satisfactorily. Bake at once.
The heat will start the etfervesceDce, and
as the paste rises it will bake, thus pre-
venting it from falling. Hence the cul-
minating point of lightness il attained.
The batter rises snowy and beautiful, and
the pancake will swell to almost undue
dimensions, absolutely the lightest and
tenderest that can be baked, with not
touch of acid. More salt, however, must
be added than usual, to counteract the
too fresh taste, when soda alone is used.
Thus the bother of emptyings is all dis
pensed with. Pancakes in this way can
be baked at any time, and on the shortest
notice.
ORANGE SHERBET.--Take the juice OF
a dozen oranges, and pour a pint OF boil,

it.

The RUSSIAN SoLDIER's SoLACE.-The
Russian soldiers are said to live and
fight almost wholly upon tea, The Cos
sacks often carry il about in the shape of
bricks, or tiles, which, before hardening,
are soaked in sleeps blood and boiled in
milk, with the addition of -four, butter
and salt, so as to constitute a kind of
soup. The passion Of the Russian for this
beverage is simply astonishing. In the
depth of winter he will empty twenty
cups in succession, at nearly boiling
point, until he perspires at every pore,
and then, in state of intense excitement,
rush out, roll in the snow, get up and go
on to the next similar place of entertain

Anomalies of English Spelling.
HOW THE ALPHABET rs TORTURED TO
GIVE OVER FORTY SOUNDS.

One of the principal difficulties in
learning the English language is the in
explicable manner in which most of the
words are spelled, the twenty-six letters
of the alphabet vying with each other to
represent the forty or forty-two sounds
of the language in the most bungling
and disorderly manner.
Be the capacity of child ever so good,
yet he must spend years in learning these
''curiosities of literature" while for
eigner can only master our noble Ian
guage by vast expense of labor, pa
tience and time.
The Protean nature of the vowel sounds
is familiar to all. A few amusing exam
pies will show that the consonants are
nearly as bad:
B makes a road broad, turns the ear to
bear and Tom into tomb.
q makes limb climb, hanged changed,
lever clever aud transports lover to
cloverr.
D turns bear to beard, a crow to a
crowd and makes anger danger.
f turns lower regions to flower regions.
G changes son to song and makes
one gone.
H changes eight into height.
X makes now know and eyed keyed.
L transforms pear into pearl.
N turns line into linen, a crow to a
crown and makes one none.
P metamorphoses lumber into plumber.
Q, of itself, hath no significance.
S turns even to seven, makes have shave,
and word sword, pear a spear, makes
slaughter of laughter, and curiously
changes having hoe to shaving shoe.
T makes bough bought, turns here
there, alters one to tone, changes ether
to tether, and transforms the phrase "al-
low his own" to "tallow his town."
W does well, e. g., hose are whose, are
becomes ware, on won, omen women, 80
SOW, vie view; it makes an arm warm,
and turns a hat into-whatl
Y turns fur to fury, a man to many, to

lad to lady !-MOSes Patterson.
