THE AVERAGE SCHOOLGIRL.

The average schoolgirl, declares
the Christian Register, rises only in
time to eat a hurried breakfast, and
reach school at 9. The girls under
II, who are not the ones to break
down, are not too diginfied to romp
at recess, and in that way they fill
their lungs with fresh air every day.
Those above - or IS rarely have a
breath of outside air from 9 till 2 in
the afternoon. They eat their lunch
cor curled up in heaps in comforta-
bic corners, if they can find them.
They take little exercise, except in a
few schools, where they dance for a
few minutes A solitary lunch of
cold or "warmed-over' food on
reaching home is followed usually by
an hour or two of study instead of a
briskNwalk or other exercise. There
is more study after supper, ambi-
tious girls studying late into the
evening. If there is any ~well-estab-
lished physiological fact it is that
girlsin their teens need an abundance
of sleep, and sleep before midnight,
if possible. The teachers must give
a certain amount of home work to
their pupils in order to keep them up
to the grade, more is the pity; but,
since that is a necessity, the fathers
and mothers at home should make

DO 1T WELL.

DISTINGUISHING is an indispensable
adjunct to homework, and tiresOme
and tedious and ever-to-be-repeated
till the Goth century dawns. There
are therefore some a of service
yet before the orne of the world.
Do wash the dishes well. Have
them rinsed, put into a large pan
with plenty of water, and, with your
handle or mop dish-cloth, just wash
and wash till they are ready for
draining. Then pour owe scalding
water, and, with dry wipers at hand,
wipe perfectly dry, which car be done
very easily.
Pans, tins and iron-ware need care
full washing. Pans need plenty of
water, and a cloth specially for them.
Take time and pains to wash the
corners, sides and outsides faithfully.
After wiping, dry by the fire. The
same is true of iron-ware. After
food is removed turn in a little hot
water. Then when the dish-wash-
ing comes off, kettles are readily
washed. Turning greasy dish-water
into them to "soak" is an untidy
practice, and one that a be easily
dispensed with if q little water is
used first, instead of particles of
gravy, etc, left to dry on. In the
washing and rinsing of dish-cloths
and towels, care and thought should
be taken. After each dish washing,
wash in hot, sOapy water, and
rinse in clear water. If the last
is not attended to, the cloths will be
stiff and smell of soap at next wash
ing.
In washing crockery or fine ware.
delicate china and fragile glassware,
car should be used in handling.
DISTINGUISHING is an art that can
not be accomplished well without
thought and care. And it pays.
CoOking-dishes should always be
washed as soon as the baking is
completed. If allowed to wait they
wash much harder, besides increasing
the quantity considerably at the
next washing. The pan used for the
dishes should be used for nothing
else. This rule should not be violated
until a new invention in the line
occurs.-[Mary L. Palmer in Chris
tan at Work.

WEDNESDAY. APRIL 2, 1870.
The Primary Election.

Tomorrow will be held the primary
election to choose between the Democratic
sspirants 20 the various offices TO be billed
ut the regular election in May. The num-
Der of the candidates is not large. consld-
ering the many places TO be filed. In the
case of some of the Offices there is only
one candidate announced for each Office;
and for the two branches of the city legis-
lsturc there are not too many candidates.
There is, in fact. no scramble for Office.
But because the condition of things IS
rs we have said it is the Democrats must
not fail TO sec to it that there shall be to-
morrow full expression of the will OF the
people. Every Democrat who shall absent
himself from the primary election Will 10y
this omission of duty turn over to his fel-
low-Democrats the privilege of making
nominations for him. Indeed, we might
TO farther and say that every Democrat
who absents himself from the primary
election will by his failure to perform his
duty as a good Democrat and good citizen
cast half a vote for all the aspirants who
shall succeed insecuring nominations. Inc
nominees will be your nominees; and IL
any of them are not as good as might have
been chosen the fault will be your own.
You cannot shift the burden of this failure
20 perform O bounden duty to the shout
ders of the men who will have attended
the primary election.
We must not let the enemy obtain foot
hold in Richmond. We must not furnish
the Mahoneites with weapons which they
can hereafter use against us. Give them
a few offices, especially if these be Offices
which have patronage for distributor
and they will use those Offices to help
them up to higher places. No FARLEY the
porter must be found inside the Demo-
cratic citadel.
The results of the election tomorrow
concern us all deeply. They will come
home 10 us in our business places, our
shops. our Offices, and wherever we may
be. We must not regard them as of COM
paratively little Importance because no
Governor. no President, no Legislators, and
no congressman are to be chosen. On the
contrary. we must esteem them as of in
calculable Importance. They will be, we
repeat, our home elections. Let US see to
IL that the results Of these home elections
shall be what they ought to be.
