Home Beauty.

A tasteful woman can make a
garnet beautiful and home-ike, and
at little cost, for the beauty OF
home depends more on educated
and refined taste than upon more
wealth. If there is no artist in the
house, it matters little that there is
large balance at the bank. There
is usually no better excuse for a
barren home than ignorance or
carelessness. A little mechanical
skill can make brackets and shelves
for the walls. A thoughtful walk
in the woods can gather leaves
and lichens, and ferns for adjoining
the unpictured rooms. A trife
SAVED from daily expenses can now
and again put a new book on the
table or shelf. The expenditure of
a few shillings can convert the
plain window into a conservatory.
In these and fifty other ways can a
plain, bare room be converted into a
scene Of beauty.

Employment for Women.

The subject of the employment of
women is as vital to the rich as to
the poor. Mr. Emerson's remark
with regard to the regulation of the
body holds equally for the soul-he
who is rich, and would be well, let
him live as if he were poor. We
talk of the lazy poor because they
are a burden to the community; are
not the lazy rich, after all, the rot
tenness at the core? avery wo-
man, from the Queen on the throne
to the little Pippa, who passes every
day to the filature, has her work to
do, and is responsible for the
due performance of it. All service
ranks the same with God. All are
servants equally in his sight
What a picture would the life of
the average woman of Fifth Ave
nue. or Beacon Street present to US
if we should lay it down without
exaggeration on paper! Her school
days over, it is her habit to walk
into the breakfast-room at nine
o'clock, just from her bed, her front
hair twisted over pins or bits of
silk. She lounges, reading the
newspaper, chatting with others as
purposeless as herself, warming her
feet or gazing out of the window,
until eleven; then she retires to ar
range her toilet for the evening,
perhaps to examine clean clothes
from the wash or perform some 9th
er household duty-duties not to
be omitted, but which the econom-
ical woman Zone who has learned
the value of time would have COM
pleted before the day began; then
she dresses for afternoon calls. and,
list in hand, descends to the lunch
table. Here nearly another hour
fades away before she begins her
afternoon round,f itting from house
to house, cheerfully chatting of the
Shaughraun, Nilsson, Kellogg-Of
everything, in short, which con-
Germs the shows of life, but careful
as one walking over pitfalls to
avoid every subject Of vital interest |
to herself or others. Then, the Wis
its or drive ended, she hurries home |
in season to dress for dinner, and |
90 somewhere afterward, as if to |
exhaust to the last drop her own |
vital strength and the hours of the
day. This little record is not over
drawn. With certain notifications,
this is the substance of the life of
wives and daughters of well TODD
in our cities. These
days are varied by certain morn
ings given to music and others to
painting. But how small the aver
age of those who achieve anything
worth doing! A man to be paint
err must not paint with half his
mind. The same law holds good
Of the woman.
Let every woman apply to her
own life the doctrine of selection.
The man is bred to this. What is
your son going to be? parents are
asked, and boys in the public
school confide to each other the
profession of their choice. No
)ne asks the girl what is to be her
what she is preparing
or. The days of her pleasant
school life glide by one after anoth-

ship has been required of her; and
when the routine stops, she is with

The Lemon.

"Few people know the value of
lemon juice. A piece of lemon
bound upon corn, will cure it in a
few days; it should be renewed
night and morning. A free use of
lemon sugar will always relieve a
cough. Most people feel poorly in
the spring of the year, and sc take
medicine for relief; but if they
would eat lemon before breakfast
every day for a week-with or with
out sugar, as they like-they would
find it better than medicine.
"Perhaps we would not go be-
you'd the bounds of proper conjec
ture, if we said lemons were promo
tive of devotion and valor, for it is
recorded of Stonewall jackson, the
greatest military genous and most
prayerful man OF the age, that he
was a 'babitual lemon sucker"

1t was little maiden that saved
the great Syrian captain-Naaman
the leper. 1t was a little boy that
astonished the doctors and lawyers
by his wonderful wisdom when he
was only twelve years old. Not
long ago a little boy saved the lives
of all the passengers on train by
giving the information of the fall
ing of bridge during the night. A
sweet little girl, well known I'd me,
brought by her own influence an
entire family into the possession Of

Weld your influence in the cause

Every act is potent with influence.
Every word streams with influence.
Your whole character sends out
from every trait a world of influ-

you would. An enthusiastic phi

Cure for Neuralgia.

A very simple relief for neuralgia
is to boil a small handful of lobelia
in half a pint of water till the
strength is out of the herb, then
strain it off and add a teaspoonful
of fac salt, wiring cloths out of the
liquid as hot as possible and spread
over the part affected. 1t acts like
a charm. Change the cloths as
soon as cold till the pain is all gone,
then cover so as to prevent taking
cold. Rheumatism can often be re-
lieved by application to the painful
parts of cloths wet in a weak solu-
ton of salsoda water. If there is
Inflammation, the cure is very quick,
and the wash needs to be luke

1t is not necessary In this age OF
the world for the farmer to rise in
the middle of the night to begin
work. This getting up SO early in
the morning is a relic of barbarism.
1t has made hundreds of young
men curse the business. There is
no need of getting up at three
O'Clock in the winter mornings.
The farmer who persists in doing it,
and dragging has wife and children
from their beds ought to be visited
by missionary. 1t is time enough
to rise after the sun has ses the ex-
ample. For what purpose do you
get up? To feed the cattle? Why
not feed them more the night be-
fore5 1t is the waste of time. In
the old times they got up at three
o'clock in the morning, and began
work long before the sun had risen
with healing on his WINGS" and
as a just punishment they all had
the ague, and they ought to have it
now. The man who cannot make
a living without getting up at mid
night ought to starve. Cleve. Ban'r.

A Wild Family of the Woods.

Jasper County Newsboy: There
is family consisting of a man, his
wife. and several children, now liv-
ing in the lower part Of this county
of Texas, who stay in the woods
without any shelter other than that
afforded by the forest trees, and
upon acorns, nuts, herbs,
rats, birds, fish, frogs, and such
other food as they can procure by
fishing, foraging and trapping.
These people, it is said, came from
Texas, though their true
origin is unknown. They are of
wild, unclvilized nature, and when
carried to the homes Of the people
and treated kindly, wear an air of
and after eating in a
most giuttonous manner, steal

Cooperative factories can and

where 3 large company is organized,
with large capital in the hands of
an ambitious superintendent who
has no more interest at stake than
his salary, the capital stock is soon
extended in buildings and useless
machinery, bankrupsing the compa-
ny before work is commenced.

The annual yield of potatoes in
the United States, according to the
returns of the last census, was near
ly $50. O00, 900 bushels. In view of
the increasing attention lately given
to this crop it win doubtless show
at the close Of the present decade a
large increase in the amount of the
yield. as well as in the number and
improvement of varieties. In fact,
it may be safely assumed that in
spite of the fears of many in regard
to the ravages of the beetle, this
crop will show a yield at the next
census of over 10000 900 bushels.
