Time and Place for All.

1t is well, when practicable, to have a
time as well as place for everything. Not
that there need be an hour fixed for each
pursuit, but there should be an orderly Sc
ouence of duties, instead of hap-hazard
dispatch of whatever comes to hand first.
Let there be a certain amount of sweeping,
scrubbing and window cleaning marked out
for each week as regularly as the minor
duties of busting, cooking, setting of tables
and washing of dishes are appointed for
each day. A little forethought devoted to
these matters will save much expenditure
of energy in actual labor.

Its Cares al Observation-Disclosures of Sys-

The woman of the household pursues re
lentlessly every speck of dust. The win
dows must shine, likewise the furniture
and the silver. The linen must be spotless
and the cooking must be well done, routine
must be preserved, finances must be looked
after, purchases must be made, mending
must be done, grievances must be appeased,
difficulties must be settled, condolences
must be encouraged and the fruits of the
spirit must be kept constantly on hand and
each member of the family induced to par
take daily. And all this is for one person TO
DO.

Housewives with careless cooks will no
doubt be glad to avail themselves of the
new unoreakable ware. Almost all the
dishes used in the kitchen are now manu-
featured in white agate orIamented with
indigo blue edges. Pitchers of all sizes,
plates, cups and saucers, oatmeal sets and
soap dishes are made of this, and are well
nigh indestructlble.
The oatmeal sets of this durable ware are
very similar in coloring to the old blue and
white china of our grandmothers' time.
and the deep, seamless bowls, with their
dark blue edges, seem almost to have
stepped down from the pantry shelves of a
century ago.
The pitchers are in all shapes and sizes
but the size which bids fair TO become the
most popular is the dainty cream pitcher
which stands about six inches high, and
which is strong enough TO serve many gen
erations besides our own.
Handsome tea and coffee pots are also
made Of this enamel ware, and decorated
IN blue like the oatmeal sets, and are quite
sn ornament to the breakfast table They
are more satisfactory than those made in
expensive metals or of delicate crockery,

til the last moment and retain the heat
longer.

Rattlesnake Rancher, Etc.
Ezekiel Eads, who died in Greene
County, New York, in the spring of 1885,
was surely in several respects a most re-
markable creature. He was born without
ears, not even having apertures where his
ears should have been. His deformity,
sad as it was, may be said to have been
partly alleviated by the curious construct
ion OF the inner portion of his head, which
enabled him to hear common conversation
through his mouth and give answers to
interrogations put to him in an ordinary
tone Of voice. But Ezekie's lack of ears
was not his only distinction. He had a
heavy crop of black hair spotted with
white, the spots themselves being in the
exact shape of human ears, feet, hands,
etc. When he was quite small baby it
was noticed that his black hair was in ter
persed with oddly shaped spots of white.
which, however did not take on their dis
tinctive shapes until after he had passed
his fifteenth year.
