Several propositions are now in

session at some other point every
three or four years. The Executive
Committee will receive propositions
from places desiring to have the

Several excellent propositions are
now in hand from delightful noun

The Director General of indirect
taxes in France has just published the
result of the vintage in 1890. It
amounted to 27,4l6,327 hectoliters, be-

average of the last ten years 188O-89).
The area under vintage cultivation was

A dispute once arose between two
Scotchmen, named Campbell and Nc
Lean, upon the antiquity OF their fami-

the Campbells had any right to rank
with the McLeans in antiquity,
who. he insisted, were in existence
as clan since the beginning of the
world. Campbell had a little more
biblical knowledge than his antagonist
and asked of the clan Mclean before
the food.
Flood! what food?" asked Mclean,
"Why, the flood that drowned all the
world but Noah and his family, and his
fock," returned Campbell.
"Pooh you and your food" said Nc
Lean, smy clan was before that flood of

twill be conceded that Housekeeping
involves great deal of sentiment
which is voiced in acts and opinions IN
various ways. Some housekeeners
have renchant for immaculate table
linen. u taste for mirror-like cook stoves,
q special style Of bed-making, shining
tea sets or glass.N re, floors upon which
the footstep of IN seems almost
sacrilege; dvsroo,4,t-inviting dinners, or
a continual srfare OF determination IS
waged against The busy and persistent
fly. Others have aggressive ideas about
drainage, clean CELLARS, Kitchens, gar.
dens, etc. Writer'S upon household
topics give prominence each to his in.
dividual prediction. or hobby; and
there is such variety, and all urged
with equal vehemeuce as the essential
thing, that the young hossekeeper or
one DESTROYS of improving upon her
present methods is disheartened at the
outset, knowing we'll, or soon learning,
that the strength OF the average woman
is unequal to the accomplishments OF
them oil.
Perfection is seldom attained in all
the minutia and details of any vocation,
and some things are very likely to lack
the attention the writer's mentioned set
up as'an absolute requirement. Each
one must study the matter SO as to de.
termine for herself what tasks she can
place among the non-essentials, and TIC
which she must give her time so as to
IS I,
family, for these are of more importance
than mere show or qualification of the
eye.
Indulgence in these fancies is often
carried to such an extent as to make
both herself and family uncomfortable.
There are, however, some housekeeping
details the neglect of which brings dis
comfort, disease, and sometimes even
death. A certain woman in aiding a
family where typhoid fever was present
came upon dishcloth which to her
mind was sufficient explanation of all
the trouble.
In many household that has tidy
appearance, and care is taken to pre-
serve immaculate cleanliness in other
particulars, the dishcloth and dish
towels are an ohense to the olfactories
and source of danger to the family.
Better have dust on the furniture, or
chairs set awry, or many other irregu-
larities than to serve food upon dishes
which have been subjected to an osten-
sible cleansing by any questionable aids.
Very much has been written about
house drainage and much attention
given this matter by householders, and
very properly, too, but it matters not
what close application of the best scien.
titic principles may here be made, OF to
what perfection other things may be
carried, if the director of the kitchen is
neglectful OF her dishcloth. Young
housekeepers, place this among the first
in your list of essentials. Mothers
training your girls in household work
look carefully after this matter, and ali
having servants, it will be worth YOU
while to insist that your dish washing
be done in careful and effective man
ner, and with cloths which are bott
sweet and clean.-Health and Home
