| tween them is that the weight OF body
on soft bel presses on larger surface
than upon hard bed, and consequently
more comfort is enjoyed Hard beds
should never be given to little children,
and parents who suppose that such beds
contribute to health by hardening and
developing the constitution are surely
in error. Emiuent physicians-both
here and in England-concur in this
opinion, and state that hard beds have
often proved injurious to the shape OF
infants. Birds and animals cover their
offspring with the softest material they
can obtain, and also make soft beds tor
them. and the softness Of bed Is not
evidence of Its being unvholesome.
But if it is not kept sweet and clean by
daily airings and frequent beatings-
whether it is hard or soft-it is surely
injurious to health.
HINTS FOR THE HoUsEHoLD.-A city
housekeeper protected the ivy on
basement wall through the winter with
a strip of canton mating
Tile work Is represented frequently
in wall papers designed for vestibules
aud passageways. among which appear
limitations of Egyptian tiles copying
well the old colors.
The fiuest way We have III modern
times TO decorate "A wall. say artistic
furnishers, is to hang it with silk, leath-
er or tapestry. We can produce no
effect like that with these materials.

pairs for oil and vinegar, are formed
with slender neck and large base, the
latter having frequently the shape of a
pineapple, or that of a globe.
Serviceable tides are made of butch
er's linen, hemmed at the sides and
frInged at the ends; work in outline
some quaint figure; work with marking
cotton warranted not to fade, or with
etching silk.
Ornamental STANDS The small
round stands seen almost IN every sit
ting-room are made ornamental by
having lambrequin tackled to the edge.
Cover the top of the stand with crash,
and crochet a lambrequin of the fish
cord SO much used Tor various fancy
articles. Make the lambrequin Just as
You make the tides, with close work
and with open spaces through which
ribbons are to be run. Finish with
iringes from three to four inches deep.
Have the lambrequin, with the fringe
added, reach to where the legs of tie
stand join the standard.
SALMIs De VENAIsoN. The breast of

pompons. The coral branches must be
well arranged and interlaced, the whole
worked in ingram cotton or crewels OF
shaded crimson. In the centre the
club flags, with small scroll across,
with name OF yacht. These should lie
worked in appropriate colors, and then
attached to the material, SO as to b.
easily removable previous 10 cleaning
the ccunterp1ne.
LIQUEUR AND BERRY SERVICES. "A
berry service OF cut glass contains four
teen pieces, the bowl, and tray, and a
dozen leaf-shaped iruIt-saucers, each

the coolest weather. one window should
be partly raised, or (Which is best) let
