HOUSEKEEPING SCHOOLS.
A German Idea That Deserves a Trial in
the United States.

United States Consul Monaghan, at
Mannheim. Germany, gives, in a recent
report, an account of the German house
keeping schools which are to be found
in every town, city and district of the
empire. While German boys are being
taught Greek, Latin, mathematics and
military exercises, the girls almost
everywhere are learning to be good,
careful, saving, industrious wives and
mothers. The consul says:
1t is astonishing how carefully, clean
ly. tirelessly, happily they work, sing
ing all the time some lullaby song of
Schiller or other national poet. Order
is a German housewives first law. The
scholars go to these schools, not as to a
task, but as to playground, with zest
and interest
The instruction is both practical and
theoretical, and deals not only with
cooking in all its branches, but with the
nutritious qualities OF various foods, the
care of the sick, nursing and caring for
children, household arithmetic, written
and mental, sewing by hand and with
machine. ironing, mending, knitting,
dress-making, and all the processes of
dairying and vegetable gardening.
Girls are not admitted to these schools
until they are sixteen, when their
ordinary education is supposed to be
completed. There are two courses, one
in summer and one in winter. The sum-
mer course begins May l, and continues
until harvest time. The winter begins
in November. and continues until
Easter, with two weeks vacation at
Christmas and New Years.
Most of the girls are boarding pupils.
and pay one mark-about twenty fl We
cents-a day for board. They follow a
rigid routine, rising on work-days at
half-past five, and on Sundays and holi-
days at six o'clock. AS soon as they are
dressed they attend morning prayer,
each according to her own faith
Then they make their own beds-in
the art of doing which they are care
fully instructed-and prepare their
breakfast. For the rest of the day work
goes on very much as in a private house
hold.
The schools are divided into classes
according to proficiency. Certain hours
are set apart to lessons in nursing.
culinary chemistry and other branches
OF knowledge useful to a housewife.
There IS constant care to develop char
acter and p;ety. Evening prayer and
',goinr. TO bed come at half-past nine
The graduates OF these schools do not
need a dowry 20 help them along in the
world Consul Monaghan says:
Any thing more than a mere idea OF
the good done it is not in the power OF a
pen to give, have seen young girls
from eighteen 70 twenty-five take charge
o. large households, experimenting the
buying, arranging, Cooking and serving
Of meals and a hundred household du-
ties. These schools give training TO all
classes, and fit girls TO i'll almost any
station in life, whether of wife or house

The easiest way to clean shoes or
rubber over-shoes which have become
muddy is with vaseline. A little
''swab'' of flannel on the end OF a stick
is good for this purpose. Even if the
vaseline touches the hands, it forms q
coating over them, so that the task is
not so unpleasant as it otherwise would
be.

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

DRIED asparagus, which is asparagus

Handle fruit a good deal as you would

If the weeds have been permitted to
ripen their seeds the only further injury
they can do is to furnish cover for mice
and insects. They had better be burned

but, like every thing else, the best
