WoMEN'S CLUBS.

What the Women OF America Are Doing
for Each Other.
When the movement among women
began some thirty years ago. any thing
out of the usual routine was met with
the objection. '.If you give women an
inch, they will take an ell." In keep
ing with this thought was the remark
of a Southern editor, when a lady asked
him after the war: why do you take
so calmly the enfranchisement Of the
colored man. and yet 80 stoutly deny
suffrage to women?" ''Ah, madam, /"

A WONDERFUL SIGHT.

A Great Exodus Of EmigraNts from tho
Docks of tho Mersey.
1t is to the great landing stages of
the Liverpool docks that we must look
to obtain an adequate notion of the
vast stream OF emigration, which is
ever flowing westward from or through
these islands. With the last few days
we have published a description of the
departure of emigrants from the
Thames; but in London these sights
are seen only on puny scale, as COM
pared with the great unceasing exodus
from the Mersey. On Wednesday alone
no fewer than five great ocean steam
crs sailed away from Liverpool. chief

HINTS ABOUT MOVING.

How 10 ContFadict tho Saying That I've
Movings Are - Bad - . Fire.
There are few things most women
dread as much as moving. for in most
homes it means a week of confusion.
at the least. Although it may mean a
general improvement in the matter OF
abode. yet the Generalization attend
ing the removal takes away the charm
of bettermen: until settled. Many

of inconvenience rather than move.
The men folks of the family are not.
as rule, fond of this occupation. the
majority of them agreeing with Frank
lin that 1.-TWO movings are as bad as a
fire."
When packing for moving it is best
to pack the furniture of each room
separately. marking it SO it may be
kept together and placed in the room
allotted it in the new house at first
and a great deal of confusion will be
saved. If the new abode is near it is
best to carry all pictures (not too
large) and any fragile articles by
hand, hanging the pictures in their
proper places before moving in. The
carpets, with the exception of the oil
cloth, hall and stair carpets, can be
put down ere the rest of the furniture
arrives. To be sure, they will have to
be fitted to the new rooms, and ought
to be lifted and sent a day or two. at
least. before the remainder of the fur
niture. The curtains, too. with the
exception of those in the kitchen and
sitting-room, can be sent and put up a
day ahead. When this is done the
rest of the settling is not very hard,
for when the furniture arrives there
should be some one at the house to
designate the rooms to which each
article of furniture is to 60, and the
proper adjustment of the furnishings
of the rooms will come very easy.
Many women have large pieces of
dark calico to cover the feather beds
while moving. which are excellent for
the purpose, while others use old un-
bleached sheets. In tying the bed al
ways put with it the pillows and COW
erings used on it. Although many do
not cover mattresses, yet it is the bet
ter way, as some movers of furniture
are very careless, and it is an annoy
ing thing to find on the mattress
smear of wheel-grease or mud. Tie
the Stats of each bed together, and
mark them. Tie the castors of each
piece of furniture together, mark and
put in a box or drawer.
Pack the crockery and glassware in
tubs or barrels, but do not allow any
thing to come within two or three
inches of the top. as it is likely to be
broken. When going short distance,
such as from one part of a city to
another, soft newspaper is good for
packing, rolling each article in it sep
arately. then packing all together.
When going a long distance, use damp
straw for packing. and there will be
less danger of breakage. When NOV
ing mirrors, be sure and have their
faces covered or turned from the sun,
for if the latter is allowed to shine on
them for any length of time they will
be damaged beyond repair. -Boston
