The Economy of Home.

Mrs. Dinah Mulock Craik has the
articles on s'WOman's Responsibilities
in Money Matters"
Very few men have the time or the
patience to make shilling go-,as far
as it can; but women have, especially
a woman whose one thought is to save
her husband from having burdens
greater than he can bear, to help him
by that quiet carefulness in money
matters which alone gives an easy
mind and a real enjoyment of life; to
take care of the pennies-in short, that
he may have the pounds free for all
his lawful needs and lawful pleasures,
too.
Surely there can be no sharper pang
to loving wife than to see her hus-
band staggering under the weight of
family life, worked almost to death in
order to ''dodge the wolf at the door,"
joyless in the present, terrified at the
future; and yet all this might have
been averted if the wife had only
known the value and use of money and
been able to keep what her husband
earned, Ito cut her coat according to
her CLOTH" for any income is Limited"
unless you can teach yourself to live
within it, TO "waste not" and there
fore to s'want not" But this is not
always the woman's fault. Men insist
blindly on style of living which their
means will not allow, and many wife
has been cruelty blamed for living at
rate of expenditure unwarranted by
her husbands means. and which his
peeuniary conditions made absolutely
dishonest had she known it. But she
did not know it, he being too careless
or too cowardly to tell, and she had
not the sense to inquire or find out,
Every mistress of household,
especially every mother, ought to know
what the family income is and where
it comes from, and thereby prevent all
needless extravaganza. Half the mis-
cradle or disgraceful bankruptcies
never would happen if the wives had
the sense and courage to stand firm
and insist on knowing enough about
the family income to expend it proper
tionately, to restrain, IA every wife
should. a too layisA husband, or fail
ing in that TO deny herself all luxurles
Which she can not righteously afford.
Above all, to bring up her children in
tender carefulness that refuses to
mulct .'the governor" out Of one un-
necessary halfpenny, OF to waste the
money he works so hard for In their
thQnghtless amusement

Aluminium, IS the dicoverer spelt IL.
or aluminium as it is often carelesslv
pronounced. is. like all mythical and
expensive elements, vastly overrated.
IL furnishes very rapidly, only, the
rust being white, it is not very offensive.
It can not be used for anything where
1t comes in contact with salt; a pot of
aluminium would be perforated by the
salt OF common soup If only used for a
rev months; spoons would be rough
and perforated in the space of a year;
nothing exposed to salt or water could
DE made OF aluminium. When pure,
Its greatest tensile strength is only a
little more than that of ordinary zinc.
That Is, only about one-half that of
steel. Its hardness is about that of
soft copper, and it is just about as
nasty to turn, file, and drill as copper.
without having the strength, pliabiiity,
and malleability of copper. Its con-
ductive power for electricity for the
same weight is that of copper, hence
telegraph and telephone wires might
be made of it, if both have the same
price-16 cents per pound. Its pc
culiar chemical properties preclude the
use of soft solder with the usual solder
ing fluids; it can be soldered! but at
the points of contact, and solder alum
inum becomes very weak and unrelia-
BILE. Its peculiar melting point 600
degrees CO. precludes the use of hard
solder (melting point 700 degrees CO..
1t is very sensitive to impurities. Half
of per cent of silicon, or iron, rem
ders it as brittle as pottery ware.
AS clay banks contain about alumni
MUM IL per cent, silicon % per cent,
iron per cent, the balance being wa
ter and oxygen, it may be seen by any
Misunderstanding the chemical prop
critics of the impurities, that alumni
MUM can not be isolated pure from
common, clay for less than 81 pound,
this being the lowest price of the
chemicals needed, vessels, coal, ETC.,
tor this purpose. If only as much as
I1-8 of per cent of silicon remains it can
not be rolled and drawn into wire, but
silicon and aluminium are very hard to
separate completely. There is no
market to speak of for aluminium at
81 pound. Most of the aluminium
used is beaten into white foil and used
for silvering sign letters, etc. 1t is
used for opera-glasses, galvanic-nee-
die indicators, and few scientific pur-
poses. 1t has been source of great

mysticism upon moneyed non-chem-
lists. Probably fifty companies are ex-
isting in the United States by which
some sharp-witted chemist obtains a
living and the investors large amount
of hope at first, but considerable ex-
perience later. do not believe that
one pound of aluminium has yet been
made in the United States that has not
cost the maker at least $500. The only
factories are in France, and if they sell
it for SIS pound it certainly costs
them $14 to make and sell it. Beware
of aluminium inventions.-Sprinqfeld

IT'S nice to skate upon the pond.
Whene'er the day is fine,
With my best sweetheart's little hand
Clasped tight as wax In mine.
And when We cut our h0urishes,
And gracefully gyrate,
1 kind o. like to have the strap
Come loose upon her skate;
It's just jolly thing to do
To get down on one knee
An tumble round little foot,
And then look up and sec
A rounded, rosy, dimPled cheek,
A laughing, roguish eye,
And take my pay in fixing up
That skate, all on the sly.
