THE WEST INDIES.
A Pleasant Place In which to Spend the
Winter.


Winter.
Americans can have no idea of this
island, that the people here call Little
England" and it is well named, too.
The enterprise of the places remark

for the comforts and luxuries of life,
they are not lacking. Many things are
much cheaper than they are in America.
The island is about twenty-four by
fourteen, but so densely popu.
lated people swarm everywhere.
The last census showed twenty
thousand. but there is not much
doubt but what the next will be
thirty thousand. a large proportion
of the Eaople are colored. but are Of
high @rder of intelligence. The houses
are nearly all built of limestone (per
haps | ought TO say of the better
classes). The very poor each have
their own home, and you would be
surprised to see how clean they ar,
kept.
The streets are cleaned and watere6
every day, and it is not only necessary
from sanitary standpoint, but for tn,
comfort of the foot passengers, as we
have no sidewalks. suppose we hav,

and nice as any floor

HOME EDUCATION.
A Word I'm Defense of the Much-Abused
Governess.


Governess.
In spite of the multitude of schools
private and public there is room for the
governess. Many mothers naturally
prefer TO have their daughters brought
up under their own roof. They feel
happy in the knowledge that their girls
are not exposed to Influences they would
disapprove, as they might be were they
sent to day or boarding schools, and
they are able TO carry out any particu-
lar views as to the education OF their
children. When there are two or sew
eral sisters, the home school-room is
undoubtedly, from certain points of
view, the best training ground for
young girls. When their characters are
formed, it may again become ques-
ton of choosing between a school and
master for finishing" purposes. No
difficulty surely, can be found in these
days in meeting with a lady fitted by
birth and education to undertake the
education of daughters of gentlemen.
1t is to be hoped that the old and iguo-
rant prejudice against ''the governess"
Is fast dying out, and that there is now
little fear lest the lady to whom a
mother intrusts the forming of her
daughters character and the cultiva-
ton of her mind should be treated as
some one a little below the level of an
upper servant" Girls of the present
and coming generations are fortunate
In this respect--that their teachers can
be chosen from large body of highly
educated ladies, many of whom indeed
are forced by the stress of circumstances
to work, but many of whom also, on the
other hand, choose to labor in the field
of education. And while a great deal
more thought is bestowed on the sys-
TENS of education, and lesson-bOoks are
things of comparative delight instead
of being as in the good old times, a
means of mental torture and repression,
our girl students are to be accounted
fortunate that third condition of their
school-ife is also happy and that their
mistresses are women fitted to win not
only their respect and esteem, but also
their INSTRUMENTATION and Fancy.

LEFT-HAND WRITING.
There Is No Reason why 1t Should Not
BE Practiced.


The number of men who can write
legibly with the left hand is very small
in this country, where the fact OF being
ambidexterous is not appreciated at its
full worth. Sir Edwin Arnold re-
marked while in st. Louis that in Japan
every child is taught to write with
either and both hands, and he limited
that this was not the only evidence of
sound common sense he met with while
in the kingdom of the Mikado.
learned to write with my left hand
some years ago. in consequence of the
impression created in my mind by read
ing arguments of Charles Reade on the
subject, and now l change my pen from
hand TO hand on the first impression of
WEAKNESS.
There have been many remedies sug-
gested for what is known as writer
cramp. and many writers alternate be-
tween the pen and the typewriter, but
the simplest plan of all is to acquire the
art of writing with either hand, and
change from one to the other on the
first suspicion of fatigue.
II is quite sassy for child to learn 70
write with the left hand, and although
after the muscles have got set with age
it is more difficult, almost any man can
learn TO write with his left hand in q
week, aud to write about as well with
one as the other in less than a year

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.

ONE days raking with a light rake
when the weeds are just beginning to
appear will save a week work later on,
and any young plants grown as crop
will be benefited thereby. II is by talk
ing advantage of these minor matters
that labor is saved. In the field the
harrow will be found useful when weeds
are starting.
MILK can easily be tested for foreign
taints by heating a small quantity to a
temperature OF 10 or lis degrees. At
this temperature it will be very easy
for the average nose to tell what, IL
ANYTHING, is the matter with the milk
Milk tested in this way will reveal the
hog pen. the COW stable, filthy cans and
various other taints.
ACCORDING to DIR. loskins, three
ounces of hcllebore dissolved in three
gallons of hot water will destroy onion
and cabbage root maggots rs soon as it
touches them. Remove a portion of the
soil so as to give the water free access
TO the roots. 1t can be poured in, but a
syringe helps in its application, gill or

GRASS is a crop that can be produced
with less labor than grain, and no farm
is complete without grass of some kind.
Hay brings a higher price, in proper
ton to cost, than any other crop except
fruits and vegetables, and when the hay
is fed to stock greater profit is made.
1t should be the object of every farmer
to produce grass Of some kind. If one
variety will not thrive try another.
