 Frau Lima Morgenstern, the found : ress of the Volkskuchen, celebrated her sixtieth birthday on the 25th of last month. This lady, who enjoys snch well-deserved popularity in Berlin, was born in Breslau, and edu- cated by the celebrated orientalist, Abraham Geiger, with a special view of training her philanthropic work. This training had the happiest effect for two years after her confirmation, Lima Bauer founded the union, which still exists, for the assistance of poor sehool-children.

Frau Morgenstern joined with some friends of Froebel's system of teach ing to found the Woman's Union for tho Promotion of Kindergarten. A seminary for kindergarten teachers, an excellent home for children, eight kindergarten schools, and an element ary Kindergarten soon sprang up through the efforts of the union which Frau Morgenstern had founded.
 In 1866 she founded tho peoples kitchen and school of cookery con- nected with it. and so great was the success of her undertaking that now there is no German town of any im- portance which does not boast similar institutions.

 Something About Good Luck.
 We frequently hear housewives speak of having had poor luck if any dish which they have cooked turns out poorly. They will speak after the same fashion in regard to tho fail- ure Of any crops in the kitchen garden. or in reference 10 other matters as we'll. Such n manner of speech seems to us as idle. There Is really no such thing as luck in housekeeping. All things iOitoW EuiGS Us cuGclS uO causes; and it is only the externally vigilant woman who looks wei, to tho ways of her housekeeping who never has any ill-luck to complain of; or fl things do occasionally go wrong in the departments, she has the sense to attribute such failures to their righ, source. viz, to some lack of proper attention on her own part.
 X strict power of attention to the most minute detail, us we'll as a mind to grasp the whole situation, to seize the important points and let the minor matters go, if something must be neglected. is all but essential ir the making of thorough house keeper. These qualities are rarer in combination. naturally, than we might suppose; therefore we have so many housekeepers who attribute failure. to luck rather than 10 the proper cause.
 To see a mistake. is with us start ing-point to remedying 1t. And once realizing that thore is no luck, speak. ing in fatalistic manner. other thar that which We ourselves make, we dc endeavor to cast aside any such dreamy fallacies. 1t is a little delu. sion which we may be slightly 10th te part with. to be sure-the old feeling Of superstition. which attributes fail. ures and miscari'iages of our purposes to luck. just as though the de'il were really at the bottom of our discom l dtures. Modern scientific discoveries have helped to dispel many popular superstition and we sometimes look back upon the blissful days of ignor- ance with sigh of regret, but the compensations are very great and WI can well afford to strive earnestly te remedy our own defects us house wives, and not sit idly down. wishing hoping, and waiting for our luck te turn. at Work.
