School, Houses In switzerland.

b. 4 =. ~ ~.
A correspondent of the Chicago
Times says in a letter from Switzer.
fa6d (? Stone houses are very rare in
Alpineidistrict and I remember quite
oommo,ion ina little village. where
iid wsss staying with some friends in
their own chalet, by presumptious
slowlsnder setting at nsught the an
;ecient traditions Q Of the place, and
building q house of stone. He was
rather looked upon with mingled awe
and resentment as an innovator q
the aeepestdye. In mostiSWiss com.
nities:the- handsomest building is
the school.house, with separate sec.
satians forSthaaboys and girls; aud it is
pleasant to1see the clean, cheerful
! fscesof the little lads and lasses as
ri : ssaS- y raeoar aos androut of the great
doors, with eager steps and bright
looks.
School, indeed, is no bugbear to
the Swiss child. The. education is
simple and practical though capable
Of high development. There is moth.
Inc, according to all one reads. hears
and aeess of which the Swiss have 30
much reason to be proud, and to
which they pay 30 much attention, as
their system of education. The school
house may almost be considered the
most characteristic, as well as the
most charming feature of their ma.
tionaHife.
Hepworth Dixon tells an amusing
listosy5of' a little Swiss girl who, ac-
companying her fatherlto Paris, was
taken by, him to see the "glories" Of
Versailles, and on the frat view OF
the colossal palace clapped her hands
and cried out, sob, papa, look, look
at the school. .housel" It is only on
the other side of the Atlantic that
the same; importance is attached to
instruction, and that it is given with
the same equality and iberality, and
ALI honor to- both republics, to the
small as well as the grest, for the
highest and wisest gifts government
gives its people.

Household Hints.

A bit Of soap rubbed on the hinges
of doors will prevent them from
creaking.
Pieces of cheese cloth make the
very best kind Of busters. Cut them
and hem them.
The wings of turkeys, geese and
chickens are good to wash and clean
windows, as they leave no duet or
lint, as cloth.
To brighten the inside of a coffee
or teapot, fill with water, add small
piece of soap, and let it boil about
forty FIVE minutes.
stovepipes may be cleaned by put
ting piece of zinc on the Goals of a
hot FIRE. The vapor produced carries
off the SCOT by chemical decomposi
ton.
Hash, to be good-and it can be
good-must not stew and simmer and
simmer and stew, but be heated
through as quickly as possible and
sent to the table at once.
When velvet gets plushed from
pressure, hold the parts over basin
OF hot water, with the lining Of the
dress next the water. The pile will
soon rise and resume it's former beauty.
Coffee made with distilled water is
said to havea greatly improved aroma.
1t seems that the mineral carbonates
in common water render the tannin
Of the coffee berry soluble, but the
drug will not dissolve in distilled
water.
Matches should never be left where
rats or mice can get hold of them.
