Suggestions for the Bedchamber.

Suggestions for the Bedchamber.
Sleep is subservient to it's sur
roundings. This is truer than hu-
manity generally supposes. Sleep
cannot come after carelessness in liv
ing, uncomfortable surroundings and
food. Above all, bedroom during
the daytime must be exposed to the
full glare Of the sunlight. The pury-
flying influences of the sun must be
courted, and it is equally necessary
to have as little as possible to do
with artificial light. 1t is mistake
(where it can be avoided) to convert
a sleeping-room into a reading-roonl.
The less line that light is left burn
ing in bedroom the better. Meth, r
must it be granted ''that any room
will do for bedroom 1t is q mis-
take fatal to health to think any
dark hole, or corner, or closet will
do to stow bed in for children. If
you or your children are allowed to
sleep in room in which the sun
never shines, or near where there is
a sink or closet, do not be sup
prised at the approach of typhoid
fever and its fatal results.
People spend great deal of mon
ey repapering the snowy parts Of the
house, but too often forget that the
bedroom paper needs changing more
frequently than any other, and that
the human exhalations have pene-
trated the bedroom paper, literally
poisoning it, though to all appear
ance the paper sis still quite good"
The window should be opened top
and bottom every morning before
the occupant leaves the room, just
as the windows of the breakfast room
should be opened before breakfast.
The air comes in at the bottom and
drives out the bad air ut the top.
When a carpet is being swept have
the windows open top and bottom;
for the fresh air coming in at the
bottom drives out the dust and dirt
from the top.-Americun Farmer.

Vhe Household,

EVERY cook Knows how dIsa9reenhIe
it is to have the nutmeg or cinnamon
which is added to cream or sugar for
pudding sauce rise to the top OF the
sauce, and when it is served to have the
first spoonful taken out too highly
favored and the rest without taste. To
remedy this mix the nutmeg or CHINA
mon with sugar before pouring on the
cream; it will then be gradually distri-
buted through the sauce Pour the
cream on little at q time, and the
spice will tend to dissolve.
VENUS PUDDING. Take quart mold,
butter it we'll, and ornament it with
candied ginger; make rich custard
with the yolks of twelve and the whites
of six eggs. pint of cream, and loaf

COOKING POTATOES. - Old potatoes
should never be spared before cooking
The most nutritious portion of the po-
tato lies Immediately under the skin and
this is generally all pared away. A
small slice should be first cut from each
end-this lets the water out-and the
potatoes are then put into cold water
and allowed to heat slowly. They should
boil as slowly rs possible until done.
Never throw away cold potato, but
cut it in thin slices and lay it in bowl,
with few slices of onions. little pep
per. salt and vinegar, n teaspoonful OF
oil, and You have relisling salad for
lunch. The best way to cook sweet
potatoes is to chip off of each end and

be boiled; they are very liice stewed. II

Drifting like petals of star world blooms
Over the homes OF the high and the low,
Silently, steadily falls the snow.

Smoothing it's angles, shaping its cone,

Fringed with pendants of chrystaline drips
The storm is c'er-up the deep blue sky
The moon like silver shield rode high;
Bathed in it's light, that city of snow
Flashed with the splendor of gems aglow.
Prone on the steps of a stately home,

Tracing with silver each rounded fold.

Beheld with startled look, the mound,
