The losses and diseomfosts which
arise from our inability to do this are
incalculable. In the VARIOUS arts Of
practical household management
how very deficient sre many Of the
hundred Of thousands who, in this
country, are annually assuming III
positions of heads of families! And
among those who long have held
that position, how many mistakes
are constantly committed, simply
from ignorance of correct processes,
Or an unwillingness to investigate
and understand the improvements
which have been made in the arts of
life. How much disappointment
attends the practice of the simplest,
yet most important of household
arts!
Washing, that most difficulty and
labcrious of household arts, is now,
by the assistance afforded by modern
chemistry, performed with less than
half the labor and in one-fourth of
the time that were formerly bestowed
upon it. and yet but few are aware
Of the fact; and the old patience-tir-
ing, clothes and muscle wearing
process in still generally in vogue
among us.
The saving that may be effected
by substituting the use of soda for
sugar, in correcting the acids in
fruits. pies and puddings, is equally
unknown; while the relative nutri-
ment and healthfulness of the various
alimentary substances are but imper.
feetly understood.
It will be our purpose, in this de-
partment. to collate, condense and
present such facts. in household
economy. as viii prove of practical

win, of course. be drawn from such
reliable sources of information as are
at command. and only claim origin

Hundreds Of dollars are lost annual

of tact which q little consideration
and inventive ingenuity will invoke.
A competency is not so much the re-
suit of money earned as money saved,
and the household is a good place
to institute reform. Little expenses
like mice undermine many a firm
structure.
A higher consideration still should
prompt the soquiGion of such knowl-
'edge-ths bsns6t of example. II
