WANDERING.

O put your hand in mine, Dear Heart.
And let us softly go
Beyond this vale of wound and smart,
To better lands we know.
Mayhap some island of tho deep,
Some valley sweetly fair
shall lulI our griefs to dreamless sleep,
And free our lives from care.
surely indeed dear hope shall guide
A star most comforting,
And while we travel side by side
There's good in everthing.s

1t is proposed to establish in the lower
part of New York city a museum of
decorative art, where artisans and de-
signers for the various manufactures can
find specimens of the best work of all
ages, together with suggestive books,
charts, designs, etc., that will help them
to produce something out of the beaten
track. 1t is proposed to connect with
the museum school that will teach
drawing and give instructions by letters
and recitations. Such museum as this
would contain models of the best work,
goldsmith's work, enamels, ivory, leather,
and wood carving, silverware, art work
in iron. bronze, brass and other metals,
pottery, and. designs in silks, cretonnes
and other textile fabrics, wall papers,

To Set stray Letters Alright.

The dead letter Office of the postofice
department has. just published a large
volume of nearly 800 pages which is ex-
pected to; reduce the number of letters
which go to the dead letter Office because
of imperfect addresses. The volume is
entitled "a Street Directory of the Prin-
cipal Cities in the United States.' A
great deal of time and patient attention
to details have been expended upon the
collection and systematic arrangement
Of the contents of the book. :
All the streets, avenues, squares,
lanes, roads, ETC., of the same names
in the nearly 500 free delivery offices of
this country are grouped and SO dis
played as to facilitate search. The high
est and lowest numbers on each of these
streets are given to assist postmasters in
correcting imperfect addresses where the
street named is found in more than one
town. This directory is furnished to
postmasters at the free delivery Offices
for use in perfecting the addresses of
such letters and parcels as may reach
their offices, though manifestly intended
for delivery elsewhere. - Washington

might be expected, having respect to grav-
atty and the atomic weights which these

me unpopu,.r Ha,f.

There Is one unpopular coin issued bv
Uncle Sam 1t is the half dollar. and IL
has tendency TO work its way back
into the treasury vaults, where it isn't
wanted. As money nobody objects to
the half, but the popular fancy is for the
same value in another form. That is
the average citizen prefers to have two
quarters. They are trifie more con-
venient. If he wants to pay out half a
dollar he can use the half or the two
quarters with equal convenience, but if
twenty five cents is to be paid ont the
quarter is far the handler coin.
This may not seem to be a very inn
portant matter, but it counts in the long
run. Little by little the halves find
their way back to the government vaults,
and there they stay, like poor relations.
In fact. so far as coming home in dis
grace goes, the half dollar is the prodipal
son of the mints
A very large proportion of the $50, ,OOO,-
900 of fractional silver on hand at Wash
ington is made up of halves This is the
lot which Secretary Foster was SO anx-
ious to get rid of, and about which he
talked with the New York bankers when
he made his visit here. Nobody then
manifested any wild desire to take the
secretary's load off his shoulders.
1t is probable that a good many. of the
halves stored up in Washington will be
recoined into quarters and dimes. In
that way they will be more convenient
for popular use.
OF course lots of halves are used. and
will continue to be used. Their coinage
will be kept up, and nobody will have
any more difficulty in getting them than
usual. But incorporation of other coins
will be increased because the people like
them better.
The New York subtreasury has its
share of halves ON hand. and the other
day it tried to work of. some of them.
1t was day when pension checks were
being paid, and nearly every one was
cashed partly in halves. Before the
close of the day a good many of the
halves were back in the subtreasury.
And they are there yet. York

How to Breathe Properly.

The breathing should be slow and
deep, ten breaths minute being a safe
average. There is difference of opin-
ion in regard to the relative value of alb
dominal and chest breathing, and each
system has its advantages: One of the
best exercises for increasing the capacity
of the lungs is to draw in full breath
slowly and through the nose. Keep the
lungs inflated as long as possible and
then expel the air suddenly through the
mouth and repeat the process. The pc
riod of holding the breath should not be
too long at the start

How to Treat Children.

Children instinctively shrink from
sour or evil tempered people. The old
adage, 1--WE must be cruel to be kind, 4"
does not hold in the proper training of
children. We must only be firm. Kind
ness and firmness are the two elements
necessary in the treatment of the young.
Ii 1T IS desirable to refuse child's re-
quest, do it firmly but kindly. When
correction is needed be firm, but show
in your punishment that you are grieved
for the necessity. Such training will
make children love and honor you, and
will instill in them the seeds of great
ness. If you are cruel and stern, their
young natures will resent it and their
evil passions be aroused.

How to Keep Brass Bright.

To make brass rails, stair rods, door
handles, etc., clean and bright take one
ounce of oxalic acid and one pint Of soft
water; mix well and apply to the brass
with piece of cloth Wipe dry, and
then make paste G: finely powdered
rotten stone And turpentine, which can
be applied with the hand or piece of
old flannel. Rub dry with chamois
leather and your brass will have lost all
stains and look as bright and as new as
when it was purchased. A solution of
bichromate of potassa, sulphuric acid and
water will also brighten brass, but the
former is the most reliable method

How to Prevent Smoking Chimneys

Smoking chimneys are generally caused
by the supply of cold air in the chimney
being out of proportion to the heated
air. and, in consequence, the cold air de-
scends, bringing the smoke along with it.
If the chimney is not high enough or
surrounded by buildings or hills, the
best plan to prevent smoke is to contract
the aperature near the stove This will
insure the air being effectually heated
and cause it to rise rapidly. If the aper-
ture i too large, the volume of air enter
ing it is not sufficiently warmed by the
fire to enable it to rise rapidly enough to
carry off the smoke. and the cold air will
invariably descend and press the smoke
downward. In obstinate. cases a revolv-
ing cowl is necessary to create sufficient
draft

How to Purify Air in sleeping room.

10W 70 ruriIy AIT IN Sleeping Rooms.
An excellent plan is to keep an inch or
two of the window open-from the top.
But ia many cases this is impracticable.
and as an alternative it is wise to keep
in the sleeping chamber a basin or open
vessel of water. Water absorbs all the
impurities of the atmosphere and keeps
the air pure. Besides acting as purifier
of the atmosphere. it will absorb large
quantities of coal or illuminating gas
should any escape, and thus render as
phydation from that source less liable
