over all others is due to the large quantity

How TO MAKE BED.-Says the Phil.

soon as all the covers are spread. turn
down the upper sheet and all above it,
leaving generous margin below the
bolster. Some people, you know, pull all
The covers straight up to the top and Law
the bolster upon them, so that when bed
time comes the bed must be rearranged at
the head. Boys don't like this way, and
perhaps some other folks don't either. |,
is the custom 10 pile Two big square
pillows on the top of the bolster, and then
put on two pillow shams, or perhaps
before the pillow shams, a sheet sham
This Is setting trap for the unwary.
Only remarkably careful woman is
equal TO the task Of getting II ali tie
'inery properly. Why not almost, il
not altogether, abolish shams Of all kinds?
Why not honestly take off the big, square
pillows and supply every bed with "A
comfortable bolster to take the place OF
pillows9 If you like alornmeDts en-
broder or decorate the slips and sheets
themselves without any make believe
Silk, lace and the like seem out Of place
on bed, which should suggest repose.

like what they are-real resting places,

long confinement to such air the constitu-
ton of the animals becomes debelitated
and tendencies to disease are engendered
which might have remained latent. or,
under more favorable circumstances have
been outlived by the animals. Even
strong, healthy cattle lose vitality in close,
unventilated stables. 1t is economy, there
fore, to provide suitable ventilation, and
in doing SO it should be remembered that
without it, it is not only the confined air
that animals are compelled to breathe,
but the exhalations from the excrements
also. Nor should it be forgotten that
while an abundance of fresh air is essen
tial to health, warmth is equally 80. Es-

And physiognomy 30 fair?

And doesn't believe one.half she hears
And toward me ntertains no fears?

Who wakes me up on every morning,
About the time the day is dawning,
My protestations calmly scorning?

Who marks my clothes with india ink,
And darns my stockings quick as wink,
While l sit by and smoke and think?
Ny companion for life.
Who asks me every day for money,
With countenance demure and funny,
And calls me pretty boy" and "honey?"

Who runs this house both night and day,
And over all exerts her sway;
Who's boss o. this shanty. anyway?
