For some reason or other American hus-
meMt of n fixed allowance with their wives
than husbands of any other nation. In Eng
land, not only do wives have their pin
money! but each daughter has her separate
allowance, upon which she dresses herself.
This amount is hers to do with as She pleases,
and she must not exceed it. 1t Is an excel
lent arrangement in every way, because 1t
not only saves womans self-respect not to
obliged to ask for mCney for whatever
S, needs, but it also teaches her habits of
&c nOmy and accustoms her to the disburso-
ment Of money.
English wives, high or low, keep household
accounts with a degree of system which
would astonsh many an American house
keeper. Every penny spcnt in the house
goes down in "Thc Housa!,eeper's Book"
which is an institution in every household.
Every bill is carefully filed away when re-
ceipted. In fnct, a perfect system of order
prevails, which enables every man to know
exactly how much it costs him to keep up his
establishment. Moreover, every item of cX-
pen liture i; made with reference to income
House rent must be only such percentage,
outlay for provisions so much and no more,
servants wages such an amount, school-bills
for children 50 much, dress 80 much, pew
at the end of the year, it is found that the
amount fixed has been exceeded in any par
ticular expenses are at once curtaied.

The baby, little toddling thing just be-

herself down in the small dish tub (carelessly

boiling water from the stove. Most FORUM

gether there is large quantity of flour oni it,
then brings the cloth up an1 pins it on tho
child as diaper. Thea lies down by her,
sings to her. soothes her, and presently she
sleeps. No one except the father touches
that burn. AS the lais.er vets the flour,
moro is applied, until a large scab is formed
of the flour, and then the air is kept from it,
and no trouble ensueS The child is kept IA
quiet as possible and is kept on the bed.
Flour enough is kept u to keep the scab dry,

lAmerican Queen.
How foolish it is for man to marry be-
meath him. 1t is all very we'll for people to
say that such things make no difference, SO
long as the two people concerned have the
proper love and respect for each other. But
such marriages do make a difference, and
they make trouble. There always has been
and there always will be class of people
who are better in certain way, and who
consider themselves better than other people,
and it does not do for two people who have
been brought up in different worlds to get
married.
Bringing up and early education always
show later on in life, and no matter what ad-
vantage man or woman may have after he
or she is married to some one above them, the
old ways and manners assert themselves and
jar, and make things out Of tune and finally
end in great clash and discord A man
should bring sense and much serious thought
to bear upon his marriage with any woman,
whether she is Intellectually or socially his
equal or not The trouble Is with most men
they tumble headlong into what they call
love with some girl who attracts them, and
are married in twinking, without ever Sc
riously thinking what kind of a wife the girl
