Hard Fate of the Farmers Wife.

John W. Bookwater in the September
Forum draws pen sketch of the life of
the average farmers wife and says
Every day of her life she goes through
the dreary, monotonous round. AT an
early hour, every morning through the hot
summer, she prepares the same black cof-
fee and fried pork perhaps hot biscuits) },
and before she can clear away the break
fast things and make the bed she hears the
calves bleating, the milk COW stamping,
both impatient to have the mornings
business done with. Then comes the
dreary routine of the forenoon's work, the
baking of bread the washing, and like,
until the meridian sun warns her that the
everlasting midday meal is due and must
be ready at once To round up the duties
and responsibilities of the day her labors
are carried far into the night, and often,
they continue long after those of the male
portion of the family have ended. She
has long since ceased to think about her
personal appearance. A tender kiss from
her husband would almost surprise her.
Once she grieved that her little girls were
so barely clad; now, she scarcely thinks of
it. That she should have a spare hour
every day to read never enters her head,
and the bare suggestion that on every
Sunday she should 'dress'' and devote
herself, during the rest of the day, to
social intercourse would cause a stare Of
incredulity. For be it understood that
Sunday for the farmers wife is sort of
clearance day to adjust the odds and ends
of the previous weeks cares and labors, to
be in readiness for the renewed labors of
the coming week.

Keep Your Hands Clean.

To soften the hands fill wash basin half
full of fine, white sand and soapsuds as hot
as can be borne Wash the hands in this
for at least five minutes, rubbing them well
into the sand. The best sand to use is the
flint sand, or the white powdered quartz
sold for filters. 1t may be used repeatedly
by pouring the water away after each wash
ing, and adding fresh to keep it from blow
ing about. Rinse in warm lather of fine
soap, and, after drying, rub them with dry
brand or corn meal. Dust them and finish
with rubbing cold cream well into the skin.
This will efectually remove the roughness
caused by housework, and should be used
every day, Soap is an indispensable arti-
Gle for cleansing the hands, but it very
often leaves the skin rough; cracks come on
the hands, and soap is often unpleasant.
Use honey, rubbing it in while the skin is
dry; moisten little, rub harder, use little
more water; finally wash thoroughly and
your hands will be as clean as though the
strongest soap were used, and no cracks or
roughness will annoy you.

How to Make Good Bacon.

A writer in the Southern CuLtiUator
says Il got it into my head that it is
dampness not warmth that does the mis-
chief. When, therefore, built my smoke
house set it two feet from the ground,
made the walls tight and dark with matched
boxing and battens, foOred it with matched,
tongued and grooved one and a quarter
inch flooring, sheeted the rafters solid with
dress stuff and covered with cypress shin
giles. Then put in door that when shut
left the interior as dark as midnight. In
this room ! placed box Sufficiently
large to pack down ton of pork made
of matched, tongued and grooved ceiling
with lid on hinges fitting perfectly.
Thus prepared killed and dripped my
porkers in the evening of a day promising
a cold dry night, hung the carcasses out in
the wind all night, cut up early next morn
ing and sailed down in box, rarely using
more than seventy-fve pounds of salt to
1000 pounds of pork. Let lay in a box
three or four weeks, then took out joints
aud middlings, washed well in hot water
and hung up in the dark roof and body of
the smokehouse until perfectly dry, say
two or three weeks, took down again and
packed in a box and let it lie until used
During the five years never lost a piece
of meat, never had any to drip, never
found gill of water in my packing box,
and never ate sweeter, finer meat IN my
life. l never cased or canvased joint
and never saw a skipper.

To Have a Bright Lamp.

Maria Parloa in Ladies' Home Journal.
In these days when lamps are used so
much the care of them is quite an impor-
tant matter. Ifthe lamps be good and have
proper attention, one cannot wish for a
more satisfactory light; but if badly cared
for they will be source of much discom-
fort The great secret of having lamps in
good working order is to keep them clean
and to use good oil. Have regular place
and time for trimming the lamps. Put a
folded newspaper on the table, so that any
stray bits of burned wick and drops of oil
may fall upon it. Wash and wipe the
chimneys and shades Now take off all
loose parts of the burner, washing them in
hot soap suds and wiping with clean,
soft cloth.
Trim the wicks and turn them quite
low. With soft, wet cloth, well soaped,
wipe the burner thoroughly, working the
cloth as much as possible inside the burner
to get off every particle of the charred
wick. Now fill the lamps within about
one inch from the top, and wipe with
damp towel and then dry one. Adjust
all the parts and then return them to their
proper places. Whenever new wick is
required in lamp, wash and scald the
burner before putting in the wick. With Il
student lamp, the receptacle for waste oil,
which is screwed on the bottom Of the
burner. should be taken off at least once a
week and washed.
Sometimes wick will get very dark
and dirty before it is half consumed. 1t is
not economy to try to burn it; replace it
with fresh one. The trouble and ex-
pense are slight and the increase in clear
ness and brilliancy will repay the extra
care. When lamp is lighted it should
not at once be turned up to the full height;
wait until the chimney is heated. Beau
tiful shades are often cracked or broken
by having the hot chimneys rest against
them. Now, when lighting lamp be
careful that the chimney is set perfectly
straight and does not touch the shade at
any point. The shade should be placed
on the lamp as soon as it is lighted, that
it may heat gradually.

Enjoy Life Now.

Too many of us are looking forward to
happiness in the future years instead of
getting all the enjoyment possible out of
the present 1t is well to remember that
the time will never come in this world when
we shall have everything we want just
when and where we want it. The only
way to be happy is to enjoy all we have to
the utmost as We go along. 1t is right to
lay up for old age in youth, right to pre-
pare for rainy day, but it is not right to
bend all our energies to this end, and put
off until the future the happiness we enjoy
every day. 1t is far too common TO see
people working and saving, denying them
selves all recreation and many comforts to
lay up money and buy more land, to build
larger and finer houses, or save for their
children, thinking that then they will be
happy and then begin to take comfort.
The hoped for point may never be obtained,
OF if it is, sickness or death may come first
and the dear ones whom we expected to be
happy with may be gone for ever.
How much better to use some of the
good things of life as we go along-to
make our homes as CHEEKY and bright as
possible now instead of waiting for a bet
ter house. Don't starve today, either
body, mind or SOUL thinking that you will
riot tomorrow. Don't hoard and scrimp
through all the best years of your life, that
you may be generous in your will. Life
is uncertain and it is better to make your
children happy while they are under the
home roof-to call to that home every
agency that will make their lives sweeter
and better, than to deny them these that
you may leave them larger bank account
when you are gone.
Don't keep the parlor shut up and live
in the kitchen, unless you want the boys
and girls to leave you. Take time to read
and to rest and to enjoy the society of
friends. Especially take time to enjoy the
companionship of your children. 1t will
be only few years at best that they will
be with you and these ought to be years
of happiness to both you and them. If
we are very happy in this life we must
enjoy what every day brings us. We must
be grateful and glad for all the good which
comes into our lives, and patiently bear
our trials, believing that all, if rightly used,
will ft us for the enjoyment of perfect
happiness hereafter.
