THERE Is ROOM AT THE TOP.

They say the professions are crowded
By seekers for fame and for bread
That the members are pushing each other
As close as their footsteps can tread;
But do not be discouraged, my brother,
Nor suffer exertion to stop,
Though thousands are pressing around you
There is plenty of room at the top.
Be true to thy love and thy country
The bastard wins never q prize;
But the earnest are ever the vietors:
And he who on justice relies
Who wins the good guerdon by labor
Will garner sweet rest as his crop,
And find, as the hills sink below him,
That there's room enough at the top.
Oh let not evil disturb you,
There's good if youSbut search it out,
Make pure thine own conscience, my brother
Nor mind what the rest are about;
And whether your work may have fallen
In sanetum, or Office, or shop,
Remember the low grounds are crowded,
But there's always room at the top.

and opened the door at the top as you told Inc,
and such charming picture that L saw. A v-
ing roOm-neither parlOr, dining room nor kitch-
en-, but happy combination of the thTee-made
attractive and hOmelike by perfect neatness order
and good taste. Such a cordial welcome that L
had, to be sure. Twas heartily ashamed of myself
when it came over me how well used to know
both Horace and his charming wife, and that had
not called on them before
81 gave Julia your note, and she read it with a
little laugh and insisted that should take off my
Overcoat and take tea with them. The cosy
round table, with its white cloth and pretty
tea service looked so inviting | could not resist
the temptation. Horace does not get out Of the
store till seven he sees to the closing up; we
have our tea at half past seven, Mrs. Alden said
Julias dress plain, but tasty and neat, set off
by dainty white apron; and her simple toilet
was completed by geranium leaf and verbena
blossom in her shining hair. Horace, in hand
some dressing gown and embroidered slippers look
ed every inch gentleman, as he is
"The situation made confidential, and ask
ed Mrs Alden how she had managed to settle down
into being such wonderful little hOusekeeper, and
she said, Il used to be somewhat inclined to be
careless in my habits and | suppose my friends
had some msgivings as to my ability to keep house
Among my wedding presents was one from great
aunt of mine who wonderfully skillful with her
needle. 1t was this teapot mat'-and she held it
up to my inspection. 1T was a scalloped circle of
scarlet brOadclOth, with slipper run down at the
heel embroidered in it in black wOrsted, with the
words, Never get slipshod.'
""This has been a constant reminder to me-
Julia went on. 'Were tempted to neglect any
trihing duty for the first time, my eye would fall
upon recall the words of Aunt Mitties motto
and would not only do what had thought of
negecting, but would do it little better, if posi-
ble Horace, too, has kept me from failing into
slipshod ways by his own habits of neatness. He
always touches up his toilet for my sake before
every meal, spunctiliOusly as if we had company.
Of course, when he is so thoughtful to me cannot
be less regardful of him. All these little things
take a few of the precious moments of our feeting
lives, but we consider their observance our bound
en- and interchangeable duty. Since housekeep-
ing is the principal business / have in hand,

both pleasure and pride in it, and think the secret
of my success in this humble sphere of miie has
been my keeping everything up from the very first

lar TO fall into slipshod ways"

SYSTEM IN HOUSEKEEPING.

| Careful, thoughtful work is required for a ma
chinist to duplicate a model or drawing. To have
all pass on "as merry marriage bell' in house
keeping, there must be one head at least, who
thinks out the model and plans the appointments
that will be the fac simie !; beginning with early
rising and airing of beds.
The systematic way of doing each thing in the
culinary department: Dishes and glassware rinse
we'll before putting them on the table have fresh
linen towel and give them and extra polish. Never
use knife on the table that has not been secured
Sugar bowl and salt fill fresh every meal. The
castor examine and keep filled with its variety
Little individual rests for the knife and fork
as necessary when plate is to be replenished, as
the individual salts or butter plate.
Two things never slight-the sitting of your ta-
n,antyb tie gig making Iii & Of your beds
Co. drv;ns IN excn , part Of the heavy work.
tubs and boiler nicely before putting them away.
If possible, have wire line in the yard for dry
ing clothes. Use borax instead of soda, II the
water is hard. As much care should be given to
the rinsipg as to the washing of clothes. Take
great pains in folding down the clothes, as this
facilitates the ironing Tuesday, ironing and bak-
ing. Wednesday,, clean pantries ana enppOlrqFI
drawers, and the cellar. Thursday, sweep up
stairs do this so well that each bedroom will
smell fresh and new. Don't be afraid of sunshine
and air to assist in cleaning. Wear dust-cap
and mittens whose wristles extend over the dress
sleeve. With neatly -cOmbed hair, tidydres 'ed feet
and q working dress in repair, you need not be
ashamed because Count NOacount gets glimpse
of you at your work. Friday sweep halls and
stairs, and all of downstairs. Disarrange only
one room at a time. Pin cloth to your broom
and brush away cobwebs. Sweep your rooms
twice, and many carpets are improved by taking
damp cloth, wringing it out frequently in pail
of water, and wiping the dust off the carpet
Saturday, clean kitchen, bake and prepare for
Sunday. Let every Sunday afternoon be rest
and recreation. Do as little extra cooking as pos
sible on the Sabbath.
Make it a study: How can / make my home
beautiful As you are the queen of the domain
make yourself as lovely as you can. Never let an
AFTERNOON come without dressing with taste Gen
tility counts for a greater value than show. BY
doing this only you will have time to read the
newspapers and magazines. Keep up your music,
or take up a course Of study or reading. Medicine
and hygiene are fit studies for h0usekeeper. If
you have a physician in sickness, you can aid him
BY careful nursing; if you have none near you
NAV save the life of dear one. You would study
long years to accomplish so mueh.-1he House
keeper.

A CULLtRD sARMoN.

Belubed fellow trabblers, in holding for o-day,

DE sarmon will be berry short, and dis here am de

Dat halfway doin's amt no count for dis world
or de mex.
Dis world dat ives a-libbn in is like cotton row,
Whar ebbry cullard gemman has got his line to

An ebbry time lazy niger stops to take nap,
De grass keeps on a-growin', to smudder up his
crap.
When Moses led de Jews across de waters OBJ de

Dey had to keep agoin' jest as fas' as fas' could
be.
Do you s'pose dad dey could ebber have succeed

An reached de promised land at last, if dey had
stopped to fish +?
My friends, dar was garden once whar Addem
lbed wild Eve,
Wild no one round to bodder dem, no neighbor for
to thieve
An ebbry day was Christmas, an dey got DER ra-
tions free,
An ebberyt'ing belonged to dem excep' an apple
tree.
You all know bout de story-how de snake come
swooping round,
stump tail, rusty moccasin, a-crawlin' on the
groun'-
How Eve an Addem eat their fruit, an went an
hid deir face,
Till the angel oberseer he come en- drove em off

Now, s'pose dat man an woman hadn't tempted
for to shirk,
But had gone about der gardenn' an tended to
Dey wouldn't had been a-loafin' whar dey had no

And de DebbePd nebber had chance to tell em

No halfway doin's, bruddren. It'll nebber do,
Go at your task and finish it, an dens de time to

For even if the crap is good dc rainl spoil de

Unless you keep a-pickin' in de garden of your

Keep a-plowin', and a-hOin', and a-scrapin' OBJ de

And when de gnnin's ober you can pay up what

But if you quit a-workin' ebbery time de sun is

LIVING TOO FAsT-Men are living too fast
The age is thirsty for luxury. The paupers OF
our cities seorn the patched garments and simple
fare which once satisfied the wel-to-do the young
clerk must live in a house about as luxuriously
furnished as his employers, though he steal to
support his establishments the servants rival their
mistresses in the costlness and elaborateness OF
their attire. though to do it, they waste the saw
ings which they may need to keep them from want
and from ruin The young couple who begin at
home must have it as richly decorated as that OF
those who have labored for years; and there is an
utter unwilngness on the part of too many to be
content with simple surroundings. We must
change our standards of judgment, and learn to
rate the people at what they are and not what
they have. This is money-worshiping age
men of vicious principles, through the ciink OF
gold. summon hosts OF admirers, others are toiera-
ted for the baubes the mob scrambled ard still
others are permitted to occupy posts OF honor In
church and State which they only obtain by their
wealth. Men live in the fear of gold and not OF
God; and seek the honor of man, and not the
honor that cometh from above.
There should be return to more simple, more
honest ways of living. 1t should he deemed dis
honorable to live beyond ones means; no man
should be encouraged to spend few teverisn
wears in luxury at the risk of breaking down and
making dishonOrable ending.

Frying RAW PoTAroEs-We thought me knew
how to fry raw patatoes, but found we were mis-
taken when lady friend who came to stop with
US few days convinced US she had a better way.
And such little difference there was in the cook
ing of them, too-to make them so much nicer
The secret was in keeping them covered as they
cooked.
The potatoes were washed, pared and sliced thin,
put to fry in spider previously heated and but
tered, the same as was in the habit Of doing
salted to taste too and to think that just keeping
them covered should make so much difference and
improvement-in the way of cooking them. They
would come to the table so crispy and crusted.
