Doing I'D Mems Linen,

A husband complained that his shirt bosom
and collars were badly done up and the case
was referred to knowing shirt maker, and
his answer was well worthy the attention of
house keepers.
Eyes, said the man, "the fault is with your
iaundress. While doing up your collars, she
stretches them the wrong way. Damp linen
is very plabe, and a good pull will alter
fourteen inch into fifteen inch collar in
the twinklng of an eye, She oughtlto stretch
them crosswse, and not lengthwise Then in
Strengthening out your shirt bosom she makes
another mistake of the same sort. They also
ought to be pulled crosswise instead of length
wise, particularly in the neighborhood of the
neck. A lengthwise pull will draw the front
of the neckband somewhat under your chin,
where it was never meant to go, and of course
it spoils the set of your collar With the front
of neckband an inch too high, and your collar
an inch too long, you have most undesirable
combination.
The necessary changes were made to the
methods of the laundry, and was right with
shirt and collars.
CULTURE OF LIMA BEANs-Far greater care
is necessary in the planting of this bean than
any other. If planted directly preceding
shower, or until the ground has aiterward

1t is best to plant an extra drill with the beans

defective bean plants. | only allow one vine
to pole, and two poles to hill. / never
plant less then 5 feet apart each way, 1t is
better to plant in long, single rows east and
west. | use only the largest sort of true

may be required green, and dry; they are

HORSES WITHOUT LITTER.-lt will seem
rather singular to those who are accustomed
to litter their horses well, to hear that in
Sweden it is very common not to litter them
at all. In that country the floors of the
stables are planked, and the planks arc per.
forated with holes, so that no wet viii lodge
on them, these bare boards being the only
bedding that is allowed. To this strange
method the Swedes attribute the soundness
of their horses feet, rs it is quite lmcOmmon,
says an exchange, to meet with lame or
foundered horse i'm Sweden which has heen
so stabbed.

Growth of Local Optiop.

Inc reports and discussions IN the
Maryland Temperance Alliance in
Baltimore Thursday of last week rec,
ogni2e the steady advance which has
been Asade towards the prohi oition
OF liquor in this State. The policy
of the Legislature of 1880 was very
differ~ntfrom that of its predecessors
on the liquor question. 1t was deci-
del quite early in the session to re-
move discussions of it from the halls
OF Legislation to the platform, ard to
submit itfinally to be determined at
the polls. The right of the people to
vote for or against prohibition was
scarcely questioned, whenever their
representatives demanded it for To-
calities in 1.-THE counties. Anne Arun-
del is almost the single exception in
which one member succeeded in
defeating strongly backed petition
for local option. BY the course eur
sued concession after concession was.
made, and local option privileges
were quietly granted in county after
county, until summing up at the close
it is found that prohibition will be
submitted at the next election in
Montgomery, Carroll, Frederick, AL
legany, Cecil, Prince George 3,
Charles, st. Mary's. Calvert and pa rt
of Washington counties. Stringent
license laws were passed for Carrot t.,
in addition to scattering prohibition
in several localities in various coulI-
ties for which it had been asked
directly. Heretofore prohibition OH
the vote of the people of the locality
has been enforced in Caroline, Calvet +,
Kent and Talbot counties wholly, an,l
partly in Somerset, Wicomic0, Queen
Anne's, and in the neighborhood Of
extensive factories in Baltimore,
Prince Georges and Howard coun-
ties, while Worcester has had high
license.

So far the exodus investigation has
cost about S25, 000and resulted only in
demonstrating to the country, what
was notorious before, that the refu-
gees were badly treated in the South,
and in some cases emigrated without
having made sufficient preparations
for the step. At has not shown what

the destitute emigmnts in Kansas.

Few States are exhibiting as much
interest in the temperance question
at present as Maryland, as the recent
convention in this city of six hundred
members of the State Temperance
Alliance abundantly demonstrated.
1t is interesting to note, however,
the success which a temperance soci-
ETY. in New York is achieving by
means somewhat different from those
usually employed by organizations
elsewhere. The society is called the
Business Mems Moderation Society,
and it offers three different kinds OF
pledges; viz the white ribbon
pledge, which enjoins the wearer
from drinking during business hours /;
the blue ribbon pledge, which res
trains him from treating or being
treated /; and lastly, the red ribbon
pledge, which binds him not to drink
at all. During the past year 400
persons took the white ribbon, $3.50
the blue, and 1861 the red. The pre-
ponderance of those who agreed not to
treat or be treated is probably due to
motives of economy as much as any.
thing else, for it is a notorious fact
that the American system of treating
especially where the party is II large
one and each member of il considers
it his duty to treat in turns as
great tax upon the pocketbook a.
upon the health. A society of this
sort might find field of usefulness
