Household Hints.

Fruit stains upon the hands may be
removed by rubbing with the juice Of

Starched shirts will iron easier If
you let them dry after starching so you
will have to sprinkle them before
ironing.
The wings of turkeys, geese and
chickens are good to wash and clean
windows. as they leave no dust or lint,
as cloth.
To brighten the inside of coffee or
teapot, ill with water, add a small
pieco of soap, and let it hoil about
forty-five minutes.
To remove grease from wall paper
lay several folds of blotting paper on
the spot and hold n hot iron near it

those living near cities, or having easy
access to rapid transportation, and can
be kept fresh for months by putting
them into clean, tight jar or cask,

Some Mistakes About China.

Colonel Tcheng-Ki-tong a young
Chinese mandarin who has lived in Eu-
rope for ten years, and is a military
attache of China at Paris, has written
a n.account of his own country and
people, to do away if possible, with
the prejudice against the Chinese, and
to enlighten the ignorance with regard
to them that prevails ever in
otherwise intelligent European and
American society.
Among our innumerable mistakes
there are none greater than our ideas
of Chinese women. They a. a happy
class. Every woman is married. The
wife shares all her husbands honors
and dignities, and is the absolute ruler
OF her household. She q buy and
sell as her husband does; she has the
whole charge of the. children, of their
education, and their marriage. She
can walk, or ride in a palanquin, and
wear a veil or not as she pleases. She
has nothing to do with politics, and
she does not choose her husband; but
Colonel Tcheng maintains, after ten
years study Of French marriages, that
there is more domestic happiness In
China than in Europe. He is both in
dignant and amused at the SLAM
ders about the neglect, desertion and
murder of Chinese babies, and thecol-
lection of half-pence in Christian lands
for the conversion of these heathens.
He was pointedout one day by a lady,
and heard her say, There's q China
man, who knows whether il is not my
half-pence that have bought him?"
Infanticide isno more frequent in China
than in Europe, and the laws against
it are severe.
The working classes too are excep-
tionally well off in China, if Colonel
Tcheng is not mistaken about their
condition.
They can easily earn FIVE times as
much as it costs them to live, and
their taxes are trifing. The agricul-
tural class is held in honor, ranking
next to the literary class, which is the
highest, and cultivators are generally
prosperous, whether they own their
land or only farm it. There are no
lawyers in China, and the people are
serious, liking quiet pleasures. The
whole social and political system OF
China rests upon the family; family
ties are imdissoluble, and family duties
| are imperative. Families live together,
and al the sick and unfortunate are
taken care ofbytheir relatives. Titles
and honors are. not hereditary, but
retrogressive. When a son is emo.
bled his parents receive the same
honor. 1t is to them that he owes bis
life and virtues, and he is not permit
ted to be superior toSthem in rank.
A parvenu Is impossible in China.

THE MUSIC OF MY HOME.

The music OF the nightingale
That MARBLES sweet and clear,
His wooing TO the dewy flower
That blooms and bushes near,
Is sweet TO hear at eyentide
While shadows softly creep,
But sweeter is the lullaby
That my young wife sings tenderly
To soothe our babe to sleep.
I've heard the greatest music
OF every land and cline,
I've heard the prima donnas,
The wonder of their time,
have listened, all enraptured,
To their music grand and high,
But they never gave such Joy to me,
No music hali so sweet can be
As mothers lullaby.
/ love the music OF the brook
That purls through woods and meads,
The cataract's wild harmonies,
And the wind among the reeds,
And the carols OF the morning birds;
But they're not so sweet to me
AS when at even, hand in hand,
My children sing the Happy Land"
Beside their mothers knee.
I've heard the grandest choruses
Of old cathedral choirs;
I've heard great oratorios;
I've heard the singing Tyres;
But more | love the simple strains
That haunt me while / roam
The mothers grooming lullaby,
The children's merry roundelay,
The music OF my home.
