Sorrows Of a Mormon Orphan.

Healthy Home Life.

Much of the ill-health so common in
our day is the result of q partial or
total disregard of the condition OF
health in our home life. Overwork is.
of course, a prolific cause of disease
and sudden death. But the more in
sidious foe is in our homes. Lack of
suitable ventilation: damp cellars; con-
fined and fetid atmosphere; the absence
of sunshine or light; bad cooking; food
irregularly and unwisely served, and
other causes lead to disease. Among
the more noticeable of these are the
lack of ventilation, the absence of light,
and indigestible food. Few houses are
built with view to proper ventilation.
Windows are as a rule the only re-
source; and these are unskillfully man
aged. Draughts of air, or more gen.
orally too little fresh air, occasion either
colds or the oppression from breathing
fetid atmosphere. Many adults will
when heated place themselves in the
way of a cold air current. Others do
them year after year with only the ao-
cideDtal ventilation that may happen to
be given.
Perhaps the greatest evil of our mod
ern home life is the propensity for
darkened rooms. The light of day is
as much as possible excluded. Dark
paper on the walls and the windows-Ob-
scured make it like night in the br ght-
est daylight. Many reasons are given
for this, all centering in the idea Oh
cleanliness, But sunlight is not only
cleanly, but invigorating. It. tsdispels
noxious vapors, and is a health giving
influence. Snn-baths are recommend
ed as cOhtributive to health, and were
more of sunlight admitted into homes.
there would be fewer bleached children
and weak and feeble women. There is
need of reform in this particular.
Fashion. to large extent, controls
the preparation food; but in many cases
the subject has not been intelligently
considered at all. Much food in this
country is fried in grease, or bread and
cake are heavy and soddsn, or the mix
ture of incongruous food impairs d.
gestion. The true principal as regards
food is to have it healthfully prepared
SO that its nutriment shall be impaired
in its most digestible form and the sew
eral articles made use of graded with
view to healthful combination. Prop
erly prepared, it should be cheerful,
and deliberately eaten At least one
meal in the day should be regarded as
the family assembling time for agree
able conversation and the quiet enjoy
ment of what has been partaken.
Work. and even violent amusement,
should not follow the principal meaIaof
the day. Food is carelessly prepared
and thoughtlessly selected, hurriedly
eaten and followed. often. either by
prolonged labor or violent amusement.
1t is all wrong g.-Paitadetphia Call.

Bridal Etiquette.

Bridal etiquette is Invariably tho
same whether the marriage is q swell
affair or only . quiet home wedding;
whether the guests number 1000 or
twenty. The time is matter of taste,
but there is much more Style and much
more economy in wedding at high
noon than at any other hour. of the day
or night. Less gas will be consumed
at home, none in the church, and q
simpler menu can be prepared for the
breakfast.
LADIES' who hsvebeen sweet sixteen
twice should have either morning
wedding or an evening wedding. with a
very few friends. Widows, who respect
the correct forms of etiquette. marry
before midday, or after twilight, in
P1cceDce only of the witnesses on both
sides. The new ring is put on after the
first ring, but many ladies take off the
old ring when they put away. the old
love. A widows dress should be of
some somber color, but never black, or
any combination of second or half
mourning. If she issues cards, the
clause mo presents should be in
serted. 1t is customary for her to
wear bonnet and gloves to match her
toilet rather than white. Attendants
are never countenanced. She must not
wear orange blossoms or tulle in any
form, and her parents or friends will
accompany herto church. In signing
the egistsr and in the application for
the license she will use her marriage
name, only dropping. or omitting. her
maidenSname, to-wit: Laura Cunning
ham is Laura Cunningham-Stanton
after MARRIAGE but when she marries
Mr.. A. ID. awson she will sign the
records Laura Stanton Dawson.
Wedding cards like the following are
never issued by people with any pre-
tense TO knowledge of the world:
