stove, stitch together on sewing
machine three or four large sheets
of thick brown paper. Mats Of this
kind will save many a grease
spot from the kitchen floor, or
carpet. They are also nice to
put under milk cans and milk
Jars in the pantry, and are so mex
pepsive that they can be replaced
with new ones as soon as they be-
come much soiled. Even one sheet
of the paper laid down will help a
good deal, and last for several days
if one is careful. If you have only
one or two COWS supplying cream for
butter-making in winter put hand
ful of salt into the cream jar with the
first skilnming, and whenever more
is added stir the contents. The churn-
ing can go over until as large an
amount is collected as desired.

"a House DIVIDED against itself shall
not stand" is a truth that parents
should ponder with reference to the
management of their children. You
have no more acute or severe critic
than your own children. If husband
and wife do not agree, the very babe
in her arms will be quick to discover
the fact.
A group of little girls were playing
on the sidewalk one bright summer
day when one of them, seizing the
hand of her friend hastily, ran around
a corner. "JNhat did you do that
for?" said the friend. Il saw Papa
coming, and he has forbidden me to
play with Susie Jones" 'But your
Mamma knew you were playing with
her, she is sewing at the window, and
could see you. 20, Mamma lets me
do as l please"
How can child with such home
training respect either parent? She
will fear her father, but she will not
respect him because she secs that her
mother does not feel enough respect
for him to enforce his commands in
his absence. She will not respect
her mother because she feels in her
childish heart that her mother is
wrong, and knows that her father has
a good reason for not wishing her to
play with Susie Jones.
How often we hear child exclaim,
when forbidden by her mother to do
something, "I'll ask Papa when he
comes home showing plainly that
one parent does not uphold the au-
thority of the ether. At times a father
will correct child with more severi-
ty of expression than the fault war-
ranted, and, painful as is such a spec
tacle, it is even more painful and
more harmful to the child for the
mother to interfere. Talk with each
other privately. if needs be, in re-
gard to your NODES of correction, but
let no word of your differences reach
the child's ear
It often happens that wife and
mother cannot approve Of her hus-
bands course--that she must
teach her children different code of
morals. sAIamma," said young lad
whose mother reproyed him for swear
ing, "Papa swears." The mother
quietly took her Bible, and opening it
at the words, "Swear not at all" said,
s'These are the words of Christ; our
