A Cool store Closet.

There is no greater desideratum in
the kitchen than a properly ventilated
store closet, arranged with shelves for
food, movable racks on the floor for
barrels and other arrangements to keep
food in the most wholesome manner.
A simple device where the store closet
opens out of the kitchen and is on the
sunny side of the house is to have hole
gut in the floor, covered over with wire
netting, so as to let the cool air of the
cellar into the closet. This cool air
,oming in contact with the warmer air
Of the kitchen makes a constant circula-
ton. A properly built store closet,
however, should be situated on the
~orth side of the house, and we'll ven

A MANS HEROINE.

Some girls are extrolled for their beauty,
And some for their knowledge and wit
And others for doing duty
or hardship and courage and grit;
And some for composing o sonnet
Or acting and filling hall,
But the girl who can trim her own bonnet
And make her own dresses beats all.
Miss Patti more music may warble.
Rose Bonhcur excel her with paint
Miss Hosmer carve better on marble,
She may not be half OF saint
But II she can make her own dresses
And trim her own bonnet we hold
She is-for the husband she blesses-
Worth more than the others all told.
A girl who can make her head pretty
And also, her figure look sweet,
Is, either in country or city.
A prize which no genius can beat;
Aud when in addition she's able
To care for the babies and cook
We set her right up on the table
And call on creation to look.
Hurrah for this girl and no other
We shout her unlimited praise:
To win her away from her mother
And wed her we're trying always;
She makes a man happy forever
BY helping-as nature ordalns-
While those who, alas, are too clever,
But add to his troubles and pains.
