best OF everything. If he is unable to
obtain all that he needs let the quail

with all these desirable adiuncts to
good farm, the farm will not be d
thrifty, successful one unless his wife
be fully in accord and sympathy with
this spirit of intelligent farming
and discharge the duties of her de-

Fright here" says Mrs Custer in the
Chicago Tribune, "may tell you some
thing that 1 learned from celebrated
florist in the city. 1t is toexclude the
air entirely when trying to keep flow
ers over night. He gave me, in proof
of his theory, a rose that he took from
a safe where it had no water, but was
merely sprinkled when placed there.

Punctured wounds are always serious
and difficult to heal. Great care
should be taken to avoid this COM
mon injury, caused by stepping on
rusty nails left lying around. The
symptoms of lockjaw are easily
recognized by the paralysis and in
ability to move, especially IN the jaws
and neck, and at times the limbs be-
come stiff. II any medicine is given

linseed oil, followed by belladonna in
two-ounce doses, or ii the extract is

The Medical Times says that a
good way to remove irritating parti-
cles from the eyes is to take a horse
hair and double it, leaving loop. If
the object can be seen, lay the loop
over it, close the eye, and the mote
viii come out as the hair is withdrawn.
If the irritating object cannot be seen,
raise the lid OF the eye as high as pos
sible and place the loop as far as you
can, close the eye and roll the ball
around few times, draw out the
hair, and the substance which caused
the pain will be sure to come with
it,
| It's sometimes difficult matter to
ventilate bedrooms properly. Open
ing window often causes a draught
that might be more injurious than air
less pure. A very simple ventilator
which allows q free current of air with
out producinga draught may be made
by any one. Have a piece Of inch
board, inches or more in width, cut
to fit III the window casing. It should
belong enough to preclude any draught
dow and rest it on the topof the board,
so that no air may pass between the
sash and the board. A free current OF
air will then pass between the upper
! and lower sash to comfortably venti-
late the room.

English girls, when they marry, usu-
ally have d stock of fine linen, sewed
and embroidered by themselves, and
have also thorough knowledge of
housekeeping, as we'll as all the &C
conlplishments expected of a we'll
born young lady. In this country the
society girl OF the period knows little
OF housekeeping, can not sew as we'll
as a girl of 10 ought to, and makes
nothing for use in her married life ex-
cept chair tides and banners. She is
out all day when she is not asleep,
| and is dancing and flirting more than
half the night. Her homelife is of the
most shallow kind. and her thoughts
are on dressmakers, milliners and con-
quest.
