room will have neither paint nor
paper on it's walls. The woodwork
will be Of hard wood, finished in oil,

should be finished in hard plaster
and tinted then they can be easily
cleaned. The windows will be low
and of large size, to let in all the sun
and air possible. The floor will be
of hard wood, oiled or vanished,
and have the dust wiped up every
day. There will be fireplace, where
a little fire on the hearth in cold

washed. The furniture will be light,
without carvings to catch the dust.
Stuffed chairs. lounges and wooden

VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS.

An oyster is the best bait for a rat
trap.
grain of salt will often make
cream whip.
Salt added to cooked fruit, especial
ly in pies, increases the flavor.
Nothing takes the soreness from
bruises and sprains as quickly as al
cohol.
Old loose kid gloves, worn when
ironing, will save many callous
places on ones hands.
Never iron black cotton stockings,
as the heat fades them rapidly. Dry
them in the shade.
See that the lamp wicks are turned
down after trimming, else the lamps
will be covered with oil.
If raised dough is kept several days
upon the ice, the last baking will be
much better than the first.
II the water in which onions are
boiled is changed once or twice, the
vegetable is much more healthful.
A pinch of salt added to glass of
milk makes it not only more palata-
BILE to many, but more easily digested.
Circles of telling, pinked or seal
Hoped, are invalua bic to put between
choice china plates when piled in the
closet.
If ones hands perspire easily, when
doing delicate work, they should be
bathed in a, few drops of cologne
from time to time.
Doughnuts and cookies, as well as
crackers, can be freshened by heat
ing them thoroughly in moderate
oven, after which they should be
cooled in a dry place before serving

A BRIGHT BOY.

do not think it is very serviceable
to make list of books for children
to read No two have exactly the
same aptitudes, tastes, or kinds of
curiosity about the world Any one
story or bit of information may
excite the interest Of a class in one
school, or the children in one family,
which will not take at all with
others. The only thing is to take
hold somewhere. and to begin to use
the art of reading to find out about
things as YOU use your eyes and ears.
l knew a boy, scrap of lad, who
almost needed high chair to bring
him up to the general level of the
dining table, who liked to read the
encyclopedia. He was always hunt
ing round in the big books of the en-
cvclopedia-books about his own
size-for what he wanted to know.
He dug in it as another boy would
dig in the woods for sassafras root.
1t appeared that he was interested
in natural history and natural phen-
omena. He asked questions OF these
books, exactly as he would ask liv-
ing authority, and kept at 1t till he
got answers. He knew how to read.
Soon that boy was an authority on
earthquakes. He liked to have the
conversation at table turn on earth
quakeS, for then he seemed to be the
talleSt person at the table. L sup
pose that there was no earthquake
anywhere of any Importance but
that he could tell where it occurred,
and what damage it did, how many
houses it buried, and how many peo-
pie it killed, and what shape it left
the country it had shaken. From that
he went on to try to discover what
caused these disturbances. and this
led him into other Investigations, and

talk about ways and means the
fact is, one cannot afford either to
die or get married in these days"
The fact is" l replied slowly,
smiling up at this young giant,
young people nowadays expect to
begin where their parents leave off !
They are not content with the low
est round of the ladder, by any
means. They want establishments,
and plenty of money to spend. Their
ideas are both expansive and ex-
pressive"-

know it does cost Enormously to live

with a merry smile and bow he was
gone.
1t is only too true, l fear, that
young people nowadays hesitate to
"perpetrate matrim ony" because of
the present cost of living. Rents are

furnish a house or fiat, and living
expenses soon overbalance the slender
salary, especially II there is a servant
But is it essential to your happiness,
girls, to have a brilliant wedding,
with Haunting notices of it in the
daily papers, to live in a fashionable
neighborhood, to have a home
deliberately furnished, and keep a
maid? In your heart of hearts you
know it is not, and if you really love
your John, or Charlie, or Tom, you
will not lengthen out the engage

Portable a home as your father

engagements, allowing your affairs"
to run on and on year after year, as
so many girls do. There is sure to
be some friction, some jar or strain
on the delicate cords of love which
bind two hearts together. Be willing
to commence in a modest way.
Henry Ward Beecher began house
keeping in two tiny rooms over a
stable, which were so dirty that he
and his young bride spent hours in
rendering them habitable and ready
for their slender stock of furniture
Dr. Mark Traitor often speaks of
the early days Of his married life
when he was receiving about two
hundred dollars a year for preaching;
but there were happy hearts in the
humble parsonage home. Are the
young people of this genera ton
afraid of hard work and little self
denial? 1t would seem so, judging
from the present drift away from
home life into clearinghouse and
hotels. There are scores of young
men who long for their own fresides
and families, who dare not ask the
girl whom they could or do love, to
marry them, because they cannot
offer as much as she is receiving
daily under her fathers roof. Love
nowadays is too often measured by
false standards, and an immeasur-
able amount of happiness is lost
thereby. A young man of the right
sort is pretty sure to get ahead in
the world, girls, even if poor now,
and some OF you, perhaps can make
or mar his future. Remember that
