After years of experimenting with

When the mud is well dried up. and
the warm May air and bright sun warns
the atmosphere, you can finish your
house cleaning with ease. Get your
whitewashing all done up, stoves cleaned,
but not set away--never do that. There
are plenty of damp, cold days all through
the summer months, when fires are in
dispensable for comfort and health, and
it is very unpleasant to have the whole
family huddled around the kitchen cook
stove in order to get warm. II is most
preposterous fashion, this custom of tax
ing down the stoves as soon as warm
weather comes on, and common sense
would dictate the folly of such thing if
one would only stop to think how many
rainy, damp days come during all the
summer months. A little fire would
change the atmosphere of room, and
prevent mildew gathering on the walls,
and be conducive of health and COM
fort generally. In house cleaning never
lay out more work than you can accom-
plsh with ease before dinner-it is as

such hard work, and by judiciously fol-

thing, a woman should never do the

re-paper the walls-it is not their work,
and it is far cheaper for man to either
hire it done, or to do it himself than it is
to pay doctors bills, not to take into ac-

woman.-Fdrpler's WIFE, in Neao En-

HOW BABY GETS OVER THE
FLOOR.

How does our baby get over the floor?
Baby is twelve moons old, and more;
Plump and rosy, sturdily goes he,
Now upon TWO limbs, now upon four;
Now on his knees, and now on his nose, he
Tumbles along from door to door!
Bless the dear heart of him!
Yes, can get him up,
can help set him up,
!, with my five good years the start of himl
Shaking his curls, that are just like a girls,
He says, NO. no; | can; go!'
And away he starts with merry crow.
Never give up!' is the tune that he goes to.
" Try again, Baby" he thinks, when it may be,
Over he rolls from the standing he rose to,
Plump on the floor; but just as happy
A brave little chap, he
Clings to the carpet with fingers and toes, too,
Bound for the place that he first set his nose
to-
Jumping, and stumping, and dumping, and
humping,
Falling, and sprawling, and crawling-not
Waddlng, and toddling, and staying, and sway
ing,
Starting, and darting, and Stacking, and back
ing,
Contriving, and diving, and driving.
And tripping, and slipping. and tipping,
Heeling, and wheeling, and reeling,
Spreading, and treading, and working, and
jerking,
And hopping, and stopping, and dropping,
And tumbling, and fumbling,
And yet never grumbling,
Along more and more, on two, three, or four
Till he reaches the place that he went to eX.
plore--
And this way the baby gets over the floor!

My Rag.Babies.

When was little girl, about seven
years old, used to spend a great many
happy hours under the table, playing
with my rag-babies.
There were not many dolls in those
days in the town where l lived, but
children did not feel the want of them
who had plenty of rag-babies. Every
now ana then mother made me new one.
They were very simple. Mother
rolled up piece of white cloth to the
right size, sewed the top together to
round the head off, tied a thread about
the neck to make it slender, and then
sewed another roll of cloth, long and
thin, tight to the back for arms. There
were no feet, but as the dresses were
always made to touch the floor. that
was no matter.
At one time was the happy posses

held by each political party for the nomi-

Division Of Time, Sleep, Etc.

Probably no better division of time
has ever been made, than that into three
equal periods Of eight hours each; eight
hours being given to business, eight
to eating and amusements, and the re-
naming eight to sleep. The celebrated
Alfred divided his time in this way.
l have long thought that the native
American requires more sleep than the
average European. For myself, find
that nine or ten hours sleep in single
night will cure me of all the trihing
maladies with which, from time to time,
1 may be afflicted. Some extraordinary
advice has been given, by certain dis.
tinguished persons, with reference to the
time devoted to sleep; but each writer
falls into the common blunder of apply
ing rule to all, which he finds good in
his own case. Bishop Taylor advises
three hours. Wesley suggests six as the
least time that will answer. He declares
that during his life he never knew any
one to retain. vigorous health, even for
a year, with less quantity of sleep than
six hours and he thought that women
required more than men.
Which advises students to go to bed
at eight o'clock, and rise at three or four
o'clock in the morning. Not bad on
some accounts but liable to injure the
eyes.
Excess of sleep is very bad in its inhu-
ence, produces dizziness of mind and
body, corpulency, disposition to apo
plexy; hence, Galen calls sleep the BROTH
er of death, and says nothing is more
pernicious when carried to excess.
Thin Yankees should go to bed at nine
O o'clock, and rise between five and six. /
do not mean to say that circumstances
may never justify their sitting up till
midnight, or later, but am simply in
terpreting the voice of physiology. If
the average American, with his narrow
chest and small vitality would retire at
nine o'clock he would live some years
longer, and each year would afford him
more happiness and ability to work.
But Yankee women most need change
to early hours. Their crazy nerves, neu-
ralgia and other evidences Of premature
decay would be at once checked. and
they would become younger and tairer.
What with tight corsets. pastry, can
dies, furnace-heat and midnight, Yankee
girls begin to fail at twenty, and women
are old at forty.-Dr. Dio Le0tS, IN

House Cleaning.


As the time is approaching for the gen.
cral spring cleaning, few suggestions
may be acceptable, especially TO those
who have not had the benefit Of long ex-
perience. There is no hurry about be-
ginning. IL is far better TO wait till the
weather is warm. and the chilly winds
have disappeared. More women are
made sick by house cleaning than by
any other work that they are obliged to
do. They expose themselves 10 cold.

boards and closets can be cleaned and re-
arranged for the summer, and il is a
great assistance TO have them set to
rights in advance. A free sprinkling OF
spirits of turpentine on the floors and

The Undertakcrs' Quarrel.

In the Police Court to-day Christopher Day,
n colored undertaken, was charged with the
larceny Of an ice-boX lid from Edward Nelson,
a gentleman Of the same color and avocatlon.
The facts as represented were rather interest
ing, and showed that Mr.. Day was engaged to
bury the body Of a colored woman, who died
last month, and went to the house and per-
formed services for which he charged SIS.
When Mr.. Day left the house the remains were
in the parlor, laid out in an ice-box. That
night Mr. Nelson was employed by society,
to which the deceased had belonged, to bury
the body.
He proceeded to the house, took the remains
out OF Days iceboX and throwing that recep-
tacle out into the back yard, proceeded to put
the body In his own iceboX. When Mr.. Day
returned to the house and found what had
been done he endeavored TO get money for
what he had done, and failing In this took the
lid OF Nelson's box as security and left. Mel
son then instituted proceedings, both civil and
criminal. The prosecuting attorney remarked
that Mr.. Day was 1ustillable In what he did,
and lie wondered that he had not taken body
and all II he wanted 1t. The case was dis
missed.
