DRUDGERY IN HoUsEWoRK.

DhOOGEhI In HOUSEWORK.
| was once visiting substantial
farmers family. and while there
heard the remark, "Oh, the drudgery
there is about farm house," so of
ten / was induced to observe and
learn why. My idea of drudgery is
that it is work which must be per-
formed, but which is superlativelY
distasteful to the performer. Now
to me there seems two things embod-
ied-the time of doing, and how it is
done-that convert or redeem it from
the stamp of drudgery.
With these ideas revolving in my
mind, | took observations to learn
why Mrs. ThtIfty's work was drudg-
cry, ana Mrs. Trott's pleasure. 1t
was washing day. Mrs. Thrifty fill
ed her wash kettle while her tea-ket-
tie was boiling for breakfast, built
the fire, but omitted to add substan-
tial fuel, and of course the fire soon
died, the water remained cold, and
Mrs. Thrifty became very much put
back in her washing and more dis
gusted than ever with farmhouse
work.
Finally the water was ready, but
the tubs that had remained in the
area shed since the last washing day
refused to hold water until the
slaves were swelled again. This
caused delay, Impotence, and sharp
denunciations. The clothes were
ready for the line; sharp north
wind blew between the row of ma
pies and the house, but Mrs. Thrifty
stood facing it, to hang the snow
white clothes, and consequently they
were driven against her soiled dress
and apron, and looked much the
worse for the contact, and were i'm
patiently tipped into the tub to I'M
dergo a second rubbing and rinslng.
"There - said Mrs. Thrifty, as
the last article snapped in the stiff
breeze, "washing is finished for this
week. 1 always feel as if L had
achieved victory when l see my
clothes out. If a body lived where
such drudgery could be put out,
should be glad"-and Mrs. Thrifty
looked very martyr-like as she sat
down to rest.
This day was an example of the
next five. Whatever the work ev-
eryJhing was performed in so unme-
thodlcal a manner that the witness
ing was really irksome. Now who
will deny that Mrs. Thrifty volunta.
rily made herself drudge? Brains
are required in Homework as we'll as
farm work, and those brains must
think, plan, and execute in reference
to economy of strength and time
else you are defrauding yourself anc
family of what is demanded of you
beneficial influence. How can YOU
tired body and mind think out intel
ligence or maintain cheerfulness
The wages Of such course are I'M
happiness.
Study system and practice it, an(
before you are aware you will fine
spare moments to read; you will
have something to think about, cha
and exchange ideas about. You will
forget that Homework is a drudgery
and believe yourself one of the hap
piest women in the world.

USEFUL ODDS AND ENDS.

Soft, nice kitchen towels may be
made by folding fifty-pound cloth
-four sacks in the middle, turning in
the edges, and stitching all around.
Then sew loops on each end. This
is good way to use up some of the
sacks that will accumulate. / also
use them for Innings where thin lin
ings are wanted.
Children's stocking knees can be
mended nicely by picking up row
of stitches below the hole and knit
ting strip wide enough and long
enough to cover the hole good. Then
whip down the edges to the stocking
with yarn the same color as you knit
the strip with. If you have yarn
like the stockings it can hardly be
seen. New heels and toes can also
be knit by cutting off the old ones
and picking up the stitches. Knit
the heel and sew in.
To make sheets last longer: when
they get thin in the middle, tear
down the center, sew the outer edges
together and hem the sides.
In making jelly, if you have more
than you have glasses, you can make
glasses by taking large, smooth bot
ties and wetting cord In turpentine,
and tying around the bottle below
the neck, then set the string afre,
and it will break off smoothly all
around.
To take stains from white goods /:
Rub the juice from ripe tomatoes
with salt on the stains and expose to
the sun.
Frosting without eggs: Mix one
cup of sugar with one-fourth of cup
of sweet milk, put over a slow fire
and stir until it boils; then boil five
minutes without stirring; set the
saucepan in cold water while you stir
it to a cream. Spread on the cake
while it will run. 1t will keep long
er that when made of eggs, and will
not crumble when you cut it.
Try putting teaspoonful of soda
in water and dissolving it, put it in
your churn after your butter begins
to come, and see how quick your but.
ter will gather.
The numerous baskets used fol-
toilet purposes may, when soiled, be
gilded or bronzed and made prettiel
than new.
To Wash Shawls. Almost al
kinds of shawls bear washing; anG
they should be done as the Thibe
cloths and de LANES, except wher
there is much white in them, or they
are composed chiefly of delicate col
ors, there should be very little blue
ing in the last rinsing water, and af
ter being fifteen minutes on thu
clothes line, they should be laid per
fectly smooth into sheet which
should then be folded up (not rolled
because that will make wrinkles,
and as soon as the water is absorbed
so that the shawl remains only very
damp to iron it on the wrong side
until 1t is dry, then fold it making
the creases as when it was new.
To Renovate Velvet or Velvet Rib
bons. Wipe the dust from the vel
vet with a clean cloth or towel il
cold water, and pin tightly around ,
hot iron; then pass the velvet across
the face of the iron, the wrong sid
of it next to the iron.
| Another very good way is to hol(
the velvet in the steam of boiling wa
ter, and then pass it over an iron.

THE MARKING SYSTEM.

Do not on any account. omit to
mark plainly all the sheets, pillow
cases, towels, napkins, ble.coths,
and white counterpanes in your es-
tablishment. In the country this may
not seem to be so essential as in the
city, but it will be found a saving in
the end anywhere. Somehow things
do disappear faster when they are
not marked than when they are.
There is no need of accusing people
of dishonesty in order to account for
this. There arc many ways in which
articles may be mistaken" for ones
own which are not ones own.
Second, mark all of your own per-
sonaI wardrobe, which has to be
washed. If this were invariably
done, a great deal of property would
be saved to owners, and a great deal
of trouble would be spared those who
'tsort out" the clean pieces. For the
sake of saving trouble to others, If
for no other reason, all OF one
bandkerchiefs, collars and under
clothing should be plainly and per-
manently marked. A bottle of in
delible ink is very cheap, clean pen
still cheaper, and bright sunny day
or a hot fat-iron will easily complete
the business. Always keep on hand
stick of linen tape, or part OF
one, written over its whole length
with your name or the names of your
family, ready to be cut off and sewed
on to stockings and such other arti-
cles as do not afford a good surface
on which to mark directly.
But the marking system does not
stop with the household clothing, and
bed and table linen. There are the
paper patterns, of which every moth
er has a store. If on the outside of
each, as it is tied up, the name of
the pattern be plainly written, q
world of trouble may be saved. Then
there are the rolls of pieces, which may
contain a good deal not apparent
from the outside. All the bidder
mysteries should, in some way, be
indicated. The winter things, which
are wrapped up and put away fol
summer, and the summer things
which are wrapped up and put ava.
for winter. should all be in labeled
packages, and every packing truni
should have in its lid complete lis
of its contents.
Then, are the bottles marked, ant
the boxes of powder and pills? Ar
the boxes of letters methOdlcally as
sorted and their contents easily as
certainable? Are the canned fruit
and jellies and preserves all plainl
labelled on the outside of each ia
and tumbler? Are the little packag
es of seeds distinctly marked! l
the same line comes the taking of re
ceipts for money paid and the keel
ing of accounts. -Congregationdtist
