THE TROUBLE OF TIE Housx

They name her "Truuble of the Hoo.o"
NY merry little one,
And tell large stories of the deeds
Her busy hands have done;
That every room has it's own tale
VI mischief to declare,
VI eyes which peer exceeding bright
Through locks Of golden hair.
Idon,t believe one-half they say;
And II did, what then2
why, simply that her little life
was oubbling up again;
That one more ray Of sunlight streamed
through this fair world of ours:
That one more bud was blossoming
Within our garden bowers.
True. wrecks OF many toy and gem
Lie scati cred ON the floor;
And little feet come pattering
Through every open door;
And tireless. as the bee which culls
- Its honey from the tower,
her mind. with curious wonderings filled
Is busy every hour.
But we as soon the streams may turn
Which to the ocean roll,
AS Quench this spark that glOwS and burns
In an immortal soul.
The wish to know the why and when,
The mystery to explore.
The will to dare the path to tread
We have not trod before,
Rules both alike the man and child,
The simple and the wise;
Both chase the bubble rs il fits
Before their eager eyes;
Both sport with trihes-bat and ball
Are in our hands Away;
And longings. never satisfied,
Attend US day by day.
Then chidc her not. but rather bid
Her glad heart soar and sing;
The dew is fresh upon her brow,
Be freedom on her wing.
We hail the promise of to-day;
For, if the rudy glow
Of morning breaks upon US such,
What may the evening show!

during the day. Mattings Of the
cheaper varieties are hardly servicea-
Bile investment, but IN excellent quality
can be obtained for about forty-five
cents q yard. In bedding, mattresses
are best made at the upholsterer's. I
have known one or two ladies who al
tered over some of their own, but their
task appeared anything but an enviable
one. A good hair mattress IL more of
. treasure than the feather beds Of our
grandmothers. Some possess these
heir-looms still, and one lady of my &C
quaintance utilities hers by placing
them between cheap excelsior"
(curled woody mattresses and her hair
ones, thus making . bed unusually soft
and comfortable. Husks, sesweed,
moss and straw are all used in mattress
making, and, unless one understands
buying, an unprincipled dealer can
easily pass of q cheaper substitute for
the real hair one. Many ladies will
use nothing but bleached sheeting, al-
though unbleached washes soft, whitens
by use, and wears better. Shoe-bags
Of strong calico or twilled coutille,
bound with braid, and rows of pockets
strongly bound, are most useful, tackled
inside the closet or wardrobe door. A
very useful as well as ornamental thing
is the stocking-basket "a round basket
with cover, or large round box.) This
can be finished by q cover with the
most artistic designs on linen, canvas,
silk, or even satin, embroidered, paint
ed, or simply finished with quillings or
ribbon bows. Silk bits work into tho
prettiest kind of quilt coverings, and q
small eider-down foot-quilt IS useful
addition to any bed.
Whether the ornamentation be SIM
pie or elaborate, whether the house be
of wealth or modest worth, there is one
treasure to be eagerly coveted by each
and every one. the spirit of which is
well described when in Christians
journey ''they laid him in an upper
chamber looking toward the sunrising;

Hints on Domestic Economy.

Sweet, clean, airy bedchambers are q
luxury. Every room occupied during
the night should be thrown open to the
freest exposure Of sun and air the next
morning. but unless the chamber-maid
thoroughly understands her. business
ten to one they will not be; the clothes
thrown down from the bed, mattress
turned over, and window opened from
both top and bottom, and left so one
half hour at least. The element of
thoroughness is one of the best points
in good chamber maid. Through and
through, from the busting the walls and
ceiling, and the bed-slats on sweeping
days. to the wiping of the picture on
the bureau or brushing up the hearth
each morning. thoroughness should be
her motto. Mirrors can be cleaned with
soft cloth dipped in alcohol. Linseed
oil and vinegar boiled together make a
very good furniture-polish. There is q
little bug that infests mating which
nothing but constant vigilance will de-
strOy, killing every one. But bugs are
effectually killed BY turpentine. the only
infallible remedy know Of In furnish
ing bedchambers, artistic taste demands
that paper for the walls and paint for
the wood work should harmonic in col
or and design. For rooms used chiefly
in winter, dark cOlors are suitable. For
summer apartments, lighter shades are
desirable, and while in large rooms large
patterns are not out of place, in smaller
sized rooms the. figure Of the paper
should correspond. It requires q high
ceiling for high dado and deep frieze
to look well, while some fitting butter.
fly or delicate flower pattern gives a
summer airiness to the country cham
Der. Patterns in wallpapers, as in
most other things, change in fashion.
and the curious figures and landscapes
OF thirty years ago are now never seen.
Within the last five or six years deco
rative art has been the rage, and wall
papers have received due attention.
For short time plain, deep-colored pa
per was much in vogue. with q gilt band
as frieze. Now more elaborate artistic
patterns are in use.
The furniture of the chamber ought
OF course to be in keeping with the
rest OF the house, and fashion prescribes
regular sets. Some will vary to suit
their own convenience; If it is re-
CURED to use the room - sitting.room
during the day, sofa and other furniture
beds can be obtained. 1T all prices,
from ten dollars to one hundred and
fifty dollars, though unless the room is

The Hessian Fly. d.

1T. a. .. fackar0, OF the EntOmO-
logical Commission at Washington,
treats in his recently-published report
on 1.-The Hessian Fly" of the ravages,
habits, enemies and means of prevent
ing the increase of this insect. The
preventive measures have been sum-
married as follows:
l. 1t is advised to SOW part of the
wheat early; and if affected by the fly,
to put in the rest of the seed after Sep
TENDER goth. which will in most cases
save the crop. BY DESTROYING the first
brood the second will not appear.
2. Partially affected wheat may be
saved by the use of fertilizers and care
full cultivation, and if winter wheat, the
fields may be recuperated in the spring.
3. 1t is stated that many of the eggs
and larve may be destroyed by pastur-
ing with sheep and close cropping of
winter wheat in November or early in
December. Rolling the ground will
answer nearly as well.
4. 1t is advised to SOW hardy varieties
of wheat, especially those which tiller
vigorously. Diehl for early August
sowing and Clawson for late.
~ 5. Lime, SCOT and salt are named a.
special remedies, and it is also recon-
mended to rake off the stubble, but too
close cutting and burning of the stubble
may result in harm by destroying the
useful parasites, of which there are sew
eral species. Indeed, it is claimed that
nine-tenths Of all the flies Matched ara
destroyed by these minute parasites. e..
There are two broods of the fly. The
FIRST deposits its eggs from early in
April till the end of May, and the SEQ
ond appears in August and September.
The eggs are laid on the leaves of the
wheat, and the young maggots, which
hatch in about four days. soon find
their way TO the base OF the leaf, re-
manning between It and the stem near
the roots.

Rule Of Calculating the Weight Of
Cattle.

By the following rule may be found
very nearly the weight of live animals:
See thst the animal stands square; then
take his circumference behind the
shoulder-blade-this is the girth. Then
measure from the bone of the tail
which plumbs the line with the hinder
part of the bullock, and direct the
string along the back to the fore part
of the shoulder-blade-this will be the
length. Then work the figures thus:
Suppose the girth of a bullock six feet
four inches, length FIVE feet three
inches, which multiplied together
makes thirty-three square superficial
feet; and this multiplied by twenty
three-the number of pounds allowed
for each superficial foot of cattle meas
uring less than seven and more than
five feet in girth-makes 759 pounds.
When the animal measures less than
nine and more than seven feet in girth,
thirty-one is the number of pounds to
be estimated for each superficial foot.
And suppose q small animal to meas
ure two feet in girth and two feet in
length, these multiplied together make
four feet, which multiplied by eleven
the number of pounds allowed for
each square foot when cattle measure
less than three feet in girth-makes
forty-four pounds. Again, suppose
calf or sheep, ETC., to measure four
feet six inches in girth. and three feet
nine inches in length, that multiplied
together makes sixteen square feet, and
these multiplied by sixteen num-
Der of pounds allowed for cattle meas
uring less than five and more than
three feet in girth-make 256 pounds.
The dimensions of cattle, sheep, calves
and hogs taken this way. will give the
weight of the four quarters of the
animal, sinking the offal. A deduction
must be made for animals half fattened
of one pound in twenty from those
that are fat; and for q cow that has
had calves one pound must be allowed,
in addition to the one for not being
fat, upon every twenty. Boston Tra,'-
eller. f'' r.

port. On this basis the following
changes in representation would en-
sue in the fory-eighth congress: Ar

ginia would gain one each; Mime
sofa and Nebraska would gain two
each; Alabama, Illinois, Maine, Ma
