Cold Feet In Bed.

This is q very common complaint,
and one that causes q great deal OF
sleeplessness. First on retiring at
night, and again early in the morning
we are awakened by coldfe feet, and can
not get them warm except by drawing
them up almost to the chin. This oc-
ours not only in the young, but in the
middle-aged and the old. For this
there are two remedies, the hot bottle
and lambs wool socks, either or both
of which may be used. When we con-
slider that during the day, while we
are active, we wear stockings and
shoes, does it not seem strange that
at night, when the temperature of the
air is lower, and when we are inactive,
that our feet should have less cover
ing than during the day? The reason
able plan is to have q special pair OF
socks for night use, put them on when
going to bed, and change them when
we get up. The result will be better
and more serene sleep; conseque atty
we shall be more able to undergo our
daily exertions. say at once, to all
who suffer from cold feet, get a pair of
warm socks for night wear. A good
walk for half an hour before retiring
warns thefeet and sends a nice glow
all through the body, and disposes to
sleep. 1t must not be supposed that
these remedies make one less able to
stand cold; they are simply to retain
the heat of the body and allow OF
comfort, and if followed, much benefit
will be derived.-T. r. Allison, NJ. d.

To Stop NOsE-BLEED.-The Scien-
tifc American gives the following nov
ell plan: The best remedy for bleeding
at the nose, as given by DR.. Gleason
in one of his lectures, is in the vigor-
Gus motion OF the jaws as if in the
act OF chewing. In the case OF a child
a wad of paper should be placed in its
mouth, and the child should be in
structed to chew it hard. 1t is the
motion of the jaws that stops the flow
of blood. This remedy is so very
simple that many will feel inclined to
laugh at it, but it has been
known to fail in a single instance,
even in very severe cases.

Greatest Printing Office In the
World.

There is talk of reforming the Gov
srnment Printing Office at Washing
ton, or rather the prodigality with
which Congress orders printing. It is
by far the largest printing and pub
fishing office in the world. The
amount of copy" turned intoitdally
would stagger q newspaper like the
New York Herald or London Times,
and it's compositors' bills would
swamp the richest book firm onelther
continent. The printing estimatesio Tor
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1880,
were S3,O14,OOO. The number OF
employees of the Office is about 2,50O.
During the first session OF the Forty
eighth Congress there were printed Tor
the Senate 1927 bills and joint reso-
lutions, and for the House 9,10O, be-
sides about $500 miscellaneous docu-
ments. The Congressional Recordior
the same period made seven bulky
volumes comprising 1908 pages, n
of these seven volumes 6,00Ose were
issued, making in all $4,000 volumes
Then there were the ponderous census
reports, on which $780, 600 worth OF
work was done; tie Department re-,
ports; scientific, agricultural, ana
sanitary reports, and all the pubiica-
tions emanating from the Supreme
Court and other courts in the District
of Columbia. The total cost for the
fiscal year ending in 1884 was nearly,
three millions, fully three-quarters OF
which went for the three items OF
composition, binding and paper. Inc
paper bills alone are about ha1 =
million q year, because OF the LAVISH
distributions of public documents
which has become customary.

Manners of Young Married Women.

At the outset of married life, the
complete and entire freedom from pa
rental control and surveillance, the
untried post of the ruler OF her own
actions, as well as those of others,
which is now hers, often bewilders the
girl-wife, and puts her into a state of
flutter and nervousness. A much
feared shower of criticisms falls upon
and around the young married wom-
an, the ordealh has to be gone through,
and sensitive natures very often feel
uncomfortable, and sometimes q de-
gree miserable, with the fear OF max
ing some blunder, of emitting some
social duty, or Of showing ignorance
on any point. When the feet find the
right path at the outset, it is not a
difficult one to keep. We will draw
attention to the rocks over which the
young matron often stumbles, and
the thorns, briers, brambles in which
she gets entangled; if caution-signals
are set up to mark these dangerous
places the troubles they entail may
be avoided.
Ostentation isa rock to stear clear
of. The young wife is, of course,
proud of her new position, and desir-
Gus of making it an exalted one to her
friends. Take the entertainment OF
guests, for instance. 1t is truly laud-
able to try and give the best we can
to our friends, but it is a mistaken
notion to think that their happiness
and pleasure can be enhanced by any
extraordinary efforts on the part OF
the entertainers. If the means and
menage be small, then let the enter
tainment match them in character,
and do not strive to show great dis
play.
We have one or more topics to dis
c..ss %-sAsiiiie On the subject OF guests.
The young married woman is apt to
be absorbed in her own personal af-
fairs; thus she falls into one stream of
talk, and babbles continuously about
the PROJECTIONS of the husband, the
imperfections of her servants, the SUI
periority of her possessions; her do
nestle arrangements, their complica-
tions and worries, and more than all,
about the ways and doing ofthe baby.
| All these matters are, of course, and
should be, intensely interesting to her
self, but O. prolonged flow of CONVEX
sation solely on these matters be-
comes wearisome to callers, guests, or

When Judge Foraker Of Ohio was
delivering his inaugural address from
the platform in the lofty rotunda o.

wife sat on one side but a few feet d's-
tant. Her children-three little giris
and one boy, Benson, who is IN tne
first year of Woodward High School,
sat beside her. All the love and 40,
IMITATION she has for her husband
shone in her face. She looked So.
premely happy. She had no eyes ior
the vast crowd; her whole afternoon
was upon the newly made Governor,
and when he finished she hall rose ~
her seat and reached out her hanus
to him. He was seized by his fatneI,
who shook his hand, and n or Two
of the distinguished men attempteu
to grasp his palm. But he turned y
once to his wife. He took her nano
and held it quite a while, while sne
said something that madethe Govern

as he leaned over to speak to the M
dren, and there was alook OF boylsh
pleasure in his face. One Of the little
girls, the youngest, had fallen asleep

smiled as he gently stroked her ea9
saying, il was tiresome for a littlegir''

How to Make Bacon.

There are several ways OF making
bacon, but the most popular way is
as follows: Seven pounds of salt, 2
pounds OF brown sugar, and = pounds
of saltpetre to each 100 pounds of
meat are well mixed. The meat is
cut into sides, shoulders, and hams,
and all the bones are removed, except
ing from the shoulder and the leg.
The meat is then well rubbed on both
sides with the salt mixture and is
laid on a sloping bench or table so us
to drain off the mixture. The pieces
are put up in a pile, one upon another,
with the skin downward. After a
week the meat is again rubbed with
the salt, the top being put in the bot
tom and the pile is thus reversed.
This is repeated until the meat has
been ir the salt four weeks, and the
salt mixture is exhausted. 1t is then
hungupin a smoke house and smoked
for half an hour a day for 10 days, or
is dried. The smoked or dried meat is
best kept by packing it in a box with
cut straw, chat, or wheat bran.-N.

A Butter Farm.

The following Exceedingly instructive
paragraph has reference to the man
agement at "Saddleback"" farm,
Baldwin, Me-, and is from the pen Of
Mr.. Orestes Pierce: Our COWS are
thoroughbred Jerseys, selected solely as
Individually large performers, without
regard to color or form, except such
points as one finds to be in common
with large butter-yielders. We seek
the most butter in a year-nothing
else. Our barn is as warn, comfort
able and clean as It can be made; the
food, after much experimenting, has
become clover hay, sound corn meal,
and wheat middlings; the ration per
day is twelve pounds of hay, eight
pounds of middlings and four pounds
of cor meal; water, with the chill
taken off, ad libitum. This ration
gives US the largest yield OF butter at
smallest cost. We use sawdust and
ground plasterfor bedding, which keeps
the cows and tie-up clean and sweet,
and does not soil the udders or stick
to them.
