THE MODEL HOUSEWIFE.

A happy medium is, no doubt desirable in all
things. housewife can make home miserable
by never-ceasing work to keep everything clean
while another can also make hOn miserable by
the disorder and dirt Thefollowing verses show
up the former character quite vividly:l
She kept her house with neatest care,
No fieck of dirt was hidden there,
Each day she walked the selfsame route,
And kept it's corners well swept out,
Her carpets, all were in the shade.
For fear their colOrs bright would fade.
Dirt, she thought, was O mortal crime,
And SO she fought them all the time.
On flies she daily made raid,
Till none her household dared inv. de.
What mice with her tried to contend
Soon came to an untimely end.
Her eyes contracted in squirt,
She looked so much for dust and lint,
Her husbands life was full of woes,
For she almost brushed him out OF his clothes.
VIII n at rest in his easy chair,
LO, and behold, his wife there,
Armed with the dust-brush and the pan,
TO sweep up around "that careless man..
No daughters fair or sturdy boys
Disturbed her home with mrthful noise.
She scarce found time to dine or sup;
How could she stop to bring them up"
Thus was she through the walks of life
Welded to dirt, and faithful wife.
When, at last deaths angel came
Into her home and called her name.
He found her in the northwest room,
Still welding her beloved broom!
He told her hat her time was nigh
That she must now prepare to die.
She gra, ely answered with q frOwn
Just let me sweep that cobweb down.
Her aprOn-strings she then united,
And calmly laid her down and died.
But whispered 18th the last breath given,
"I-hope- there s-nO -dirt-n-heaven.'

Lake Helen, Fla.

The uncommon beauty of the place caught
the eye of wealthy visitors and Immediately
cottages began to spring up on shores of Lake
Helen. Queen Ann cottages, designed by Mace
dwellings vie with each other in beauty. They
are painted in delicate and pretty shades
greys, drabs, creams, etc.-with gables, towers
balconies and other features in keeping with
their styles. In fact everything around Lake
Helen is ornamental. Even the shops and
stables are pretty enough to live in.

Housekeeping Made Easy.

There are doubtless some women who
are born rigid housekeepers. Usually
they hail from New England or there
about. InexOrable thOrOughness would
probably express the makeup of the old
time housewife. 1t is noticeable that
their descendants in these more easy 60
ing times, while retaining many of the
rigid notions Of their mothers are grow
ing less methOdiCal and less scrupulOusly
neat in their manner of housekeeping
This is owing doubtless to the construc-
ton OF our houses, as well as to the
many labor saving devices of modern
times. Still we have those with us who
seem to make themselves slaves to their
housekeeping. Every thing must Re
rigidly done, as their mothers we're ac-
custOmed to do before them. The wash
ing must be done on Monday, rain or
shine: the ironing on Tuesday, the bak-
ing on Wednesday, the sweeping on Fri
day. Not a speck of dust is seen any
where, not all unlucky fly is allowed to
mar the faultlessly clean windows The
kitchen floor and tables are secured to
an immaculate whiteness, even the dish
cloths must be evenly folded and ironed,
and when Saturday comes as much
anxiety and worry is put into a loaf of
bread or pan of cookies, as would suffice
for far weightier matters.
They belong to the old puritanic
school of housewives who taught it to be
a sin to slight any household duty Now
no conscientious houskeeper will slight
any work which is essential 1t is the
nOn-essential work which ties the brain
and body. There is a vast amount of
useless work done by such an housekeep-
er, and itmakes one quite out of patience
to see her fretting away her strength,
making herself old before her time in
order to carry out her pet theories of old
time housekeeping. 1t may be said that
the tendency here in Florida is toward
opposite extreme. Our enervating sum-
mer climate, if anything can, will effectu-
ally cure one of expanding any more sur
plus energy in that direct than is
absolutely necessary.

American Board Letter to the Sen1ol
 Class Sf she Yale Theological Senai

American Board Letter to the Senior Class sf she Yale Theological Senai- narY-The Full Text of the Letter.
 The treasurer of the. American Board has sent letter to the senior class in reply to its recent protest of the action of the board. Although the class has taken no action to suppress its publication, the letter is care- fully guarded. It Is to be very mild re- buke of the action of the class. The letter intimates that the class is in error when it supposes that President Storrs' letter is not the basis on which the board aots. Several New Haven newspaper men have sought for the letter, but no member of the class will publish it; but as the protest sent by the class to the American Board gained such wide circulation, this replying letter is bound to see the print soon. It will be read with interest by every one who has at heart tho truth of the matter from the standpoint of the American Board.

This did, and supposed that no further reply was needed.
 But in view of the publicity given to your letter and the comments of portion of the press upon it, you in error in supposing that the prudential committee does not propose to judge of applicants outlined in President storrs letter of acceptance In the particular case to which your letter re. stated that it did not by it's action then taken. in tend to prejudge. The only reason for postponing the decision was to learn whether the candidate did or did not stand within the limits allowed.
