Taking Care Of Niua Dresses.

There is an old prover5 that says 8
lady is always to be known by her boots
and gloves. Quite as crucial u test i:
the faculty of taking good care OF hel
costumes, and one that quite MS dis.
tinctly marks the well-bred lady. Any
one can buy an elegant wardrobe il
they have money enough, but TO take
the requisite care to keep it fresh and
dainty requires something more than q
check-book OF keeping nice dresses,
lady writes:
Each dress should have its own wrap
or cover TO keep il from chaiing and
fading. Take fine, firm cotton cloth,
something over yard wide, cut il into
squares, then hem and wash the
squares. They should be fine. take no
room and weigh little; firm, to keep
away from dust; hcmmel,' that you
may keep the same side next the silk,
and washed, to do away with the
bleaching chemicals, which are liable
to change the color of the silk. Fold
the bottom OF the train back and forth
IN abou, eighteen or twenty thrcc-inch
folds, so as to fit the box You have for
H. The bottom now being all together,
you will cover it with q small cloth or
towel, to keep the dusty train from
rubbing against the cleaner parts of
the robe; roll the whole dress loosely
to the size and shape of the box. lay it
upon the white cloth, and fold the cor
ners of the same over the top of the
package and place it in the box. Now
loosen the roll and adjust it to its space,
so as to favor any delicate or easily
crushed portion OF the dress--as Medi-
ci collars, flower garnture, embroidery,
ssc., relieving crowded places, and dis
tributing the thick to the thin spots.
When you come to use the robe shake
it out, and you will find it in good con-
dition. The fold of dress or shawl
will often work up between the trays
of boxes, and by motion of cars, wag-
ons, etc, get chafed into holes; to
avoid this pin the cloth over so it can
not jut over the box. To pack laces,
fold them in blue tissue paper or soft
linen, because white paper contains
bleaching acids and discolors and de-
Gays the ribbon or lace. The same is
true of white shoes and gloves, and es-
pecially silver ornaments. The latter,
though worn every evening, retain
their purity and brilliancy for months
if kept closely in blue tissue paper.
Shoes and slippers should never be
folded together without cloth or pa
per between them, as the sole of one
soils the upper of the other. Put one
in the cloth, turn it over, then add the
other.

Is the Old Faith Diving.

II is often said specifically that men
of affairs, rs class, have lost their
| interest in the churches, and an attempt
was lately made TO test the truth of
this assertion. In an Eastern city, with
a population of little less than forty
thousand, the president aud cashier of
one of the national banks were re-
quested to furnish q list of the fifty,
strongest business firms in the city, with
the name of the head of each firm. The
gentlemen furnishing the list had no
knowledge whatever Of the use that
was to be made of IT, In classifying
tiftyfour names thus given, it was
found that there were seven whose re-
latiOn to the churches was unknown to
the gentlemen who had obtained the
list; six who were not identified with
any of them; and foriS-one who We're
ali regular attendants upon the church
es and generous supporters Of their
work-the great majority Of them
communicates In a Western city of .
little more than sixty thousand inhabit-
ants. similar list Of iifty-two names
was obtained in the same way; and the
analysis showed three whose ccclesia-
stical standing was unknown; one jew;
six not connected with churches; and
forty-two regular church-goers, of whom
thirty-one We're communicates. These
lists were both made up by well-inform-
ed and sa@acious business ;the cities
represented by them are not con-
spicuously religious communities; and
the composition of them gives small
color To the notion that the business
men Of our cities are estranged from
the churches. IL is astonishing that
such u notion should ever have gained
currency. III the face OF the palpable
fact that so much money il contributed
every year for the support of the
churches and the prosecution of their
charitable and missionary enterprises.

Slavery ir England.

The pleasing notion that there is nc
such thing as slavery in England, re-
marks the London Trtth, is rather rude.
ly shaken by an extraordinary story
which was told the other day in the
Croydan Police Court. A lodging house
keeper applied for summons against
one of the lodgers for Systematically
ill-treating a little negro boy, whose
screams sno had often heard through
the door. The boy had been purchased
i'll Africa rs q servant, and when the
lady demonstrated with her lodger for
his cruelty, he replied: "Oh! he is only
a colored child; and, besides, he be-
longs to my brotl!cr." The landlady' g
interference seems to have been visited
on the little boy, who had his wrists
tied together, and was hung up to a
hook on the wall Of the room.

II has been said that because cattle
sometime prefer impure water TO pure
drinking water no pans should be taken
TO supply them with pure water The
British Medical Journal explains TO
agriculturlsts that the reason for this fact
is that cattle when gwen tank water are
not kept properly supplied with rock salt.
In their desire for saline food animals will
drink the most impure fluids, and will
even eat earth. The writer thinks 1t both
iDjudicIous and cruel to deprive cattle of
salt, and thus compel them to seek 1t in
refpse.
