FAMILY SECRETS.

Put salt in the water to prevent black
calicoes from fading when they are
washed.
Sweep and dust once week the
rooms which do not daily receive this
attention.
A handful of pokeberry root put into
a pint of sweet milk is said to be sure
cure for erysipelas.
When papering a room small apart
ment can be made to appear large by
being covered with paper of subdued
color without any particular design.
The following is sure cure for letter
or salt rheum: Take some good strong
vinegar, put into it enough gunpowder
to make it as thick as cream, and apply
this mixture frequently, or hold the at
flicted parts in 1t.
1t is good plan to keep quantity of
sifted flour in the pantry, ready for the
making of biscuits, cake or pie. so as to
be prepared if they are wanted in a
hurry, as in case of company coming
and remaining to meal.
To mend broken china take very
thick solution of gum arabic, stir into it
burned OF baked plaster of paris until of
a proper consistency. Apply this with
a brush to the broken edges and stick
them together; let dry before using.
To close cracks in iron stoves take
good wood ashes, to which add the same
quantity of finely pulverized clay, mix
thoroughly together with a little salt;
this mixture is to be mOiStened with
water and applied to the parts. The
stove should be cold when applied.

COLD WEATHER RULES.

Never lean with the back upon any,
thing that is cold.
= Never begin Journey until the
breakfast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then i'm
mediately go out into the cold.
Keep the back, especially between the
shOulder-bladeS, we'll covered: also the
chest we'll oprOtected. In sleeping
breathing through the nose, and never
with the mouth open.
Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never omit regular bathing. for I'M
less the skin is in active condition the
cold will close the pores and favor con-
gestion and other diseases.
Alter exercise of any kind never ride
in an open carriage or near the window
of a car for moment; it is dangerO us
to health, or even life.
When hoarse, speak as little as posi-
bic until the hOarseneSS is recovered
from, else the voice may be permanently
lost, OF difficulties of the throat be pro-
duced.
Merely warm the back by the fire, and
never continue keeping the back eX-
posed to the heat after it has become
comfortably warm. To do otherwise is
facilitating.
When going from warm atmosphere
into cooler one. keep the mouth closed
so that the air may be warmed in its
passage through the nose ere it reaches
the lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather,
especially after having taken a slight
degree of exercise, and always avoid
standing on ice or snow, or where the
person is exposed to cold wind.

those selected from the outside are
teachers accustomed to the profession.
as it requires person of practical
training to impart knowledge to the
frequenters of an evening school. The
work has to be largely of an individual
character, and there is little class work.
Supt. Taylor says: 1.-The expendi-
ture incurred in conducting these
schools is not heavy. The principal of
each building of two rooms or more re-
ceives $3.50 per evening; teachers in
other rooms, 50 per evening. Janitors
are paid IS cents per evening for each
room occupied up to four rooms. There
is nothing for rooms beyond that num-
Der. Pupils between the ages OF four
reen and twenty are admitted free;
those twenty-one years OF age and up
wards pay 81 per month"
The Humboldt school will be opened
within the ensuing two weeks. This
will prove an inestimable boon to chill
dren on the West side, where the scho-
lastic facilities have, up to the present,
been somewhat cramped. The new
building will meet the growing require

tional and civil rights upon them to in
itiate them in masculine viclouSneSs
and knavery, so as to wisely and justly
equalize the differences of sex which
Thou didst unwisely establish. AS re-
formers we have further discovered that
fools, paupers and criminals seem to be
taking undue advantage of Thy behest.
'sBe fruitful and multiply" We find
that, owing to our faulty physical
structure, lacking the strength and en-
durance adequate to the demands life
makes upon us, disease and insanity are
ever increasing, while there is an
alarming tendency to drop dead on the
highways and in public places, instead
of departing this life decently in the
privacy of cur bed rooms.
In climatic and atmospheric way we
are greatly Inconvenience in the North
by cold, in the South by heat, and in
the intermediate ATTITUDES by both heat
and cold. AT times the earth is as
parched as if the Prohibitionists con-
trolled the heavenly liquids, and again
we are greatly depressed in spirit and
finances by a long period OF clouds
and storms. We think if our fields were
copiously and regularly shOwered once
day we might avert much trouble and
distress and be better able to regulate
our boards of trade.
In our marital relations, 0 Lord. we
are sorely in need of a radical change.
Ever since Eve tempted Adam, and he
fell rather than let her go to perdition
without him. there has been one con-
tinuous chain of similar instances
which have brought about chronic
and irremediaVle state of perdition, so
that we think it had been wiser if Thou
hadst divided thy world in equal parts
and set an impossible mountainous bar
rier between, bidding the women to
dwell on one side and the men Oh the
other.
Religiously, 0 Lord, we could not be
worse off. The very foundations of our
faith have been shaken by certain
works of fiction from the impious pens
of women who write to display their
erudition and to be talked about, and
though the clergy has rushed valiantly
to the rescue, the walls of Christianity
have been made to totter. We have
analysed and viviSected. reasoned out
of existence and into existence every
thing on earth, and now, 0 Lord, we
reason upon Thee. When we have
made over Thy creations, perfected ac-
cording to our advanced ideas, we will
dispense with a God. Meanwhile we
give thanks for the occasion to cOm-
plain and reform. CoRIE DAVIS.

A CAUSE OF THANKSGIVING.
Reflections the Day After Thanks
giving Reveal One Cause for
Gratitude,

Written for the Globe.
After the custom of our country we
assembled in our respe ctive temples on
the day set apart by our president for
the exhibition of gratitude. We ar
ranged ourselves according to the di-
verse forms of our several sects, some
powing the head, some bending the
one knee. some two, but all posing with
all eve to all the comfort that Scanty
cushions permit, and with due regard
to a dignified appearance. Being
settled, we cast about for reason to be
thankful, and, like certain famous
dog in search of bone, we
ransacked the cupboards of our hearts
for gratitude and found none. We are
all reformers, o Lord, and as such we
know that whatever is, is wrong, hence
are we laying hold of thy handiwork to
perfect it. When time was young,
those lived who thought the world
goodly place, and found their spiritual
and carnal wants amply met by the
civil and religious institutions of
Christendom; but we of to-day, 0 Lord,
have outgrown the milk diet of infant
lie creation: we have cut our wisdom
teeth, and would exercise them in the
mastication of indigestible knowledge.
We will smell no flowers that we may
not pull to pieces and analyze,
we will listen to no songs if we
can not choke the warbler and ex-
anime his vocal cords. We have
come to know bread from stone, and
stones will no longer appease our
hunger. In our childish sportiveness
we have played with the hammer Of
skepticism and the Iooking-glass of
faith until our pretty mirror Is broken;
now we want a new plaything, a new
game. The fruit Adam and Eve ate
with such keen relish has been tasted
so often since, that we are born with its
flavor in our mouths, and know its taste
before we bite. o Lord, let new tree
of forbidden fruit grow up among US.
As reformers, o Lord, we find Thy
women are weak and foolish, Thy men
vicious and tyranical, hence do we labor
to shame the latter into feminine virtue,
and by emancipating the former from
mans control and bestowing educa-

AS if the earth deserted cen by God
And law held only me; as if l trod
In terror ana beheld the starry spheres
Go out like wind-blown candles while the
years
Bring all the misery of all time to bear
In melting me my measure of despair,
And with widespread confusion feed my

O, come to me! o, cut thy way, Love, through
The gloom and let me feel thy human touch !!

The wild November comes at last
Beneath veil of rain;
The night wind blows its folds aside,
Her face is full of pain.
The latest of her race, she takes
The autumn's vacant throne.
She has but one short moon to live,
And she must live alone.
A barren realm of withered fields,
Bleak woods of fallen leaves,
The palest morn that ever daWned,
The dreariest of ewes.
1t is no wonder that she comes,
Poor month with tears of pain;
For what can one so hopeless do
But weep, and weep again?
