Washing Table Linen.

Table linen is often recklessly de-
stroyed in cold freezing weather
through lack of care in drying. The
following timely suggestions are from
the New York Sun:
Always take table cloths from the
line while damp, repeating the shak-
ing and swapping process as long as
the time and strength will permit.
If allowed to become perfectly dry
on the line there will be wrinkles in
the table linen that it will be difficult
if not impossible to iron out. Care
must be taken as to how they are
hung up in the first place. DO not
let them be dragged all out Of shape
by hanging from a single close-pin or
being thrown over the clothes post,
making projecting corner that will
be next to impossible to get out with
out wetting the cloth all over. When
they have been thoroughly shaken
join them evenly on a straight, firm
line. Take care that the pins are
clean, and the line as well. They
should never be allowed to whip or
flap in very high wind. Fine linen
is often seriously injured by this. A
quiet day and a bright sun is the best
time for doing up fine goods Of this
sort. Never dry them indoors or by
the fire if it can be avoided. They
cannot smell as clean, and have "the
exquisite od0r of clean clothes" that
a famous knight of old preferred to
all other perfumes.

Winter Domestic Comfort.

On the same line with the subject
of winter care of stock is that of pro-
viding for the comfort and conven-
fence of the household-not as re-
CARDS supplies and furniture that cost
money, but in making things handy
and convenient about the house and
kitchen. Among these nothing is so
important to comfort, peace, and hap
piness and good temper as a bounti-
full provision of dry stove and fire
place wood and kindling, ready cut
and dried. What would be thought
of a man who should send a peck of
wheat or corn to mill every morning
to supply the bread for the day? Yet
it is scarcely less foolish to send othe
woods "every Saturday," cut and
haul home load of green, soggy
wood to keep the fires for the coming
week, and then to cut it up for the
stove or fireplace only as Imperative
ly needed. Shame on the man who
will not supply his wife and children
with an abundance of clean, dry fuel,
ready at hand to be used ad G6ittGm!
To do the right thing every farm
house should have a wood-house or
room, which should be filled with
fuel every fall, or before the approach
Of winter, and never permitted to be
empty. Every farmers wife, who
has suffered the almost daily dis
comfort of wet or otherwise unburn-
able wood, and often has to waiteven
for that until somebody comes from
the field to cut it, will thank me fol-
writing this article. Good wife, mark
around it with blue pencil and put
it where he will be sure to see it,

The Bird of Hope.

There is a bird that mariners call
the "frigate Bird" of strange habits
and of stranger power. Men see him
in all climes, but never has human
eye seen him near the earth.
With wings of mighty stretch,
borne high, he sails along. Men of
the far North see him at midnight
moving on amid auroral fires, sailing
along with set wings amid those aw-
full flames, taking the color of the
waves Of light which swell and heave
around him. Men in the tropics see
him at hottest noon, his plumage all
incarnadined by the fierce rays that
smite innocuous upon him. Amid
their ardent ferver he bears along,
majestic, tireless. Never was he
known to stoop from his lofty line
of flight, never to swerve.
To many he is a myth; to all he is
a mystery. Where is his perch?
Where does he rest? Where was he
brooded? None know. They only
know that above the clouds-above
the reach Of the tempest-above the
tumult of transverse currents, this
bird of Heaven, so let US call him, on
self-supporting vans that disdain to
beat the air on which they rest,
moves grandly on. So shall my hope
be. At either poll Of life, above the
clouds of sorrow, superior to the tenn,
pests that beat upon me, on lofty and
tireless wing, scorning the earth, it
shall move along. Never shall il
stoop, never swerve from its sublime
line of flight. Men shall see it in the
morning of my life; they shall see il
in the hot monday, and when the
shadows fall, my sun having set, the
last they shall see of me shall be this
hope of gain in dying, as it sails out
on steady wing and disappears annie
the everlasting light.-Exchange.

What to Teach Our Daughters.


AT social gathering some one
proposed this question: "What shall
/ teach my daughter?" The follow
replies were handed in:
Teach her that one hundred cents
make a dollar.
Teach her to arrange the parlor
and the library.
Teach her to say "No," and mean
it, or eyes," and stick to it.
Teach her how to wear a calico
dress, and to wear it like queen.
Teach her how to sew on buttons,
darn stockings and mend gloves.
Teach her to dress for health and
comfort as well as appearance.
Teach her to cultivate flowers and
to keep the kitchen garden.
Teach her to make the neatest room
in the house.
Teach her to have nothing to do
with Incorporate or dissolute young
men.
Teach her that tight lacing is I'M
comely as well as injurious to health.
Teach her to regard the morals and
habits, and not money, in selecting
her associates.
Teach her to observe the old rule {:
ga place for everything, and every
thing in its place."
Teach her that music, drawing and
painting are real accomplishments in
the home and are not to be neglected
if there be time and money for their
use.
Teach her the important truism
"that the more she lives within her
income the more she will save and
the further she will get away from
the poor-house."
Teach her that a good, steady,
church-going mechanic, farmer, clerk
or teacher without cent is worth
more than forty loafers or non-pro.

of the dress reformers. DR.. Horace
Dobell in the London Times, says:
Concerning the bad effects of the
"braces system of suspension" for
woman's dress, the hips, and not the
shoulders, are the best part of the
human frame for the support of
weight. Bracesrestrict the elevation
and anterio-posterior expansion of
the chest movements, even more i'm
portant to women than men.
The Boston Medical and Surgical
Journal, adds:
We have long thought thatin their
zeal against tight lacing, our "dress
reformers'' were doing society a dis
service in decrying the moderate use
of stays, and were likely to provide
the profession with a crop of evils re-
sulting from their contrivances, quite
as formidable as any hither traced to
the abuse of corsets. The thoracic
organs are quite as worthy of fair
play as the abdominal.

SANTA CLAUS.

AS Christmas approaches, the little
ones naturally talk a great deal and
think more about the welcome of this
mysterious, nocturnal guest. the
children select the longest hose they
can find, for they think this noble
benefactor has inexhaustible supplies
hidden away in the sleigh which
bears him to every home all over the
land, where good children dwell.
TITS well to let them indulge in the
fascinating illusions of childhood, for
the time will soon come that it will
only be a bright dream of the past,
but which will cling to the heart with
wonderful tenacity, until middle age
merges into decrepid age. All, well
do 1 remember the joy in my child
heart on Christmas mornings to find
the grotesque looking receptacles
stuffed full, and a bountiful supply
scattered around.
Parents do not begrudge the dimes
and dollars thus expended, for they
will do the child's heart more good
than ten times their value in after
life. Butspend the money judicious-
ly. After purchasing a reasonable
supply of all the goodies every child
naturally expects, and which every
member of the household relishes,
buy substantial presents, with an
idea of appropriateness for whom it
is intended. A handsome silver cup,
with given name engraved on it, will
be nice and valuable gift, which
will be appreciated by any child, and
can be kept for years. Albums, pic
lures, vaces, card receivers, and in
Vulnerable other nice articles might
be mentioned.
1 have some friends who buy very
expensive and not very durable toys
for their children. One Christmas,
their little boy about four years old
had handsome ship, about three
feet long by two and half high, and
cost a considerable outlay of money.
Before the sun set Christmas day it
was a total wreck.
A nice, inexpensive gift for little
child can easily be made with little
effort in this way. Get one yard OF
cheese cloth worth five cents, and fold
it until it becomes an oblong square
about Sxl0 inches, thisis to be book;
then secure gay colored paste-board
box, red, green or blue, and cut the
backs of this book, of course a little
larger than the leaves, stitch the cloth
together and clip the folds, and fasten
it securely in the back. The pages
can then be filled with bright pictures
of birds, fruits or flowers, with g
mingling of steel engravings. This
book will charm any child, and i
every corner of each picture is firmly
glued down with mucilege the tod
ding infant can find untold amuse
ment with IMMUNITY. Try it, ant
Pm sure you'll be pleased with the
: result.

Labor LunaticS.
Unions

The various Trade Unions
throughout the Uuited States seem,
as general thing, to want to be
independent of the Knights Of La
Dor SO long as they are getting
along all right. When they get in
to trouble and contemplate strike,
they join the X. Of L., and before
they learn anything Of its workings
they enter into struggle with
some big corporation, expecting the
million members Of the Order
throughout the United States to
help them through the strike and
contribute so much a week to their
support. They then realize that
the Order Gi.countenances strikes
and will not permit one without
first investigating the causes of it.
And because the Oroer refuses any
assistance they commit various ex-
ceases, and the papers attribute
the trouble to the knights of La
Dor.
The various labor organizations
throughout the country which fight
the Order, Invariably call on it
when they get in trouble.
The labor organizations can
never accomplish anything SO long
a. they are divided and refuse to
come under one head. Capital can
handle itself we'll because it is or
ganized. Labor is not organized,
and its ranks are filled with so
many turbulent spirits that it is
not likely to be until the disturbers
are disposed of.

THE CATTLE OUTLOOK.
A Good Prospect for Cheap Beef

A Good Prospect for Cheap Beef
The beef market is in a very I'M
satisfactory condition, and has
been 50 for many weeks. Every
thing points to a glutted mark et
during February. The hay stacks
are fast disappearing, and at least
half the stock now on the meadows
must either go to the SHAMELESS
or they must hunt new feeding
grounds very soon. This state Of
things, says the Gazette, butchers
are taking advantage of. The fact
is, shippers do not want cattle ex
cept at low figures; five cents is the
top price at Reno for a good grade
of steers, and they must be cut in
the middle at that. Graves has
500 head Of thin steers now feeding
On the hills North of town, but 10
days will clean up his stack bot
toms; when they must be moved
West. They will be IA fair coudi-
ton by April. Derby has several
corrals out, or nearly out of hay.
Mr.. Derby Is proprietor of the Bay
State market at San Francisco, and
cuts up about % head per day. He
is seriously considering the feasi-
bllity OF starting up the cid slaugh-
ter house East of town and putting
refrigerators on the rail. A move
ment of that kind may prove of
great benefit to feeders. While the
supply of holiday cattle has beer
scarce. rates have been low and the
markets sluggish. As conse-
quence cattlemen are somewhat
discouraged. Taking the brightest
view Of the situation possible,
arge tale end Of the cattle left |
here after the middle of February |
must go to the hooks at very low
'ates.
