Ironing Day.

AS the irons must be hot, regardless
of the weather, it is well for the ironer
to study how the proper degree of heat
may be obtained without converting
the entire apartment into an oven dur
ing the summer season. One plan
which is commended by those who have
tried it is the use of an old-fashioned
cake griddle, which sets into the front
part of the stove, and, being quite thin,
brings the irons near the fire where
they heat quickly. Another plan is the
employment of an oil stove, which ia
often found to be great advantage, as
it can be placed in any convenient cor
ner, and one of moderate size, with q
relay of three irons, will be found to
work very well. If the iron should be-
come too hot, do not plunge it into
cold water, as this will soon spoil its
temper and finish. Let it stand upon
the stove hearth or the table, with the
smoothing side exposed to the air few
minutes, and it will be ready for SER
vice. Before being used, the iron
should always be tested upon cloths
kept for the purpose, and not, as is too
often the practice, by touch with
wet finger. This will reveal both the
degree of heat and whether the surface
is entirely clean, so that the goods shall
not be soiled or injured. 1t scarcely
needs be said that the hatirons should
not be put to heat while the stove is
being used for cooking, more especially
for frying the iron is quite likely to be
soiled, and to give the odor of the food
to the clothes. When the irons are
sufficiently heated, begin work promptly
and systematically but before apply
ing them to the articles to be smoothed,
be sure that they are tested on a piece
of cloth kept for the purpose, or on
some article of little value, in order to
make sure that there shall be no scorch-
ing or smearing. If any roughness is
apparent in the iron, it may be rubbed
upon coarse paper, and the latter may
be sprinkled with table salt. This is
very good manner of treatment where
the iron seems to be wanting in polish.

Bathing without a Bath Room.

How can | battle without bath
tub?' ruefully asks the man or woman
who has been reared among the i'm
provements of modern plumbing. Very
well, we answer, and perhaps with
more real benefit than is obtained from
a leisurely soaking in over-warm water.
One can battle very well in his hotel
room or in the country farm house in
the following simple plan: The requi-
sites are basin of tepid water, two or
binary towels and rough bath towel.
When the bath is to be taken, uncover
the upper part of the body, leaving the
limbs, from the loins downward, COW
cred. Apply the bath towel TO the ex-
posed part of the body, with firm and
rapid friction, all over; now soak one
OF the bedroom towels in the basin,
press it out, so as to avoid dripping,
then rub well the whole upper part Of
the body with it, passing it over the
shoulders aud taking the opened out
ends in both hands and rubbing briskly
the back. Wiring out the towel and
pass it again over the whole trunk for
the first dry, after which rub thoroughly
all over with the dry towel, and then
apply friction with the bath towel until
the skin is in one glow. Now put on
the flannel under jacket, turning it
we'll up below. Then repeat the whole
operation on the lower part of the
body.-PhrenolOgicdl Journal.

To Wage-Earners in Vermont.

There is soon to be an election in Vermont,
and you are called upon to vote at said cleo
ton. Let us reason together, and see for
which party you should vote, if you regard
your own welfare and that of your family.
The republicans are in favor of protection for
such articles as can not be grown or manu-
featured here, and all merchandise we can
not produce here to come in free of duty
while the democratic party at their Chicago
convention voted 564 to $40 that tariff for
protection was unconstitutional. These,
the representatives of the democratic party
from every state in the Union, in conven.
ton assembled, by majority of 222-more
than tive-eighths of the whole democratic
party-held that tariff for protection is I'M
constitutional.
If such a party should get the control of
the government, what would be the result?
The tariff for protection would be repealed,
but revenue must be raised to support the
government. There is no pretense that any
more money is now raised than sufficient to
pay the expenses of the nation. Then how
are we to raise the money? 1t must be by
putting duty on sugar. tea, coffee and all
the necessaries of life. Are you willing to
have the duty taken off of wooden and cot
ton goods and placed on sugar, tea, coffee,
etc.?
But strike off the duty on manufactured
goods, and the manufactures must stop, and
throw the men and women out Of employ
ment, or they must work at the same price
as the laborers in Europe or China.
Why can we pay higher prices for wages
here than in England? Is it not on account
OF the tariff? Repeal the tariff and you
must work at European prices or not work
at all. The price of carrying a piece OF
broadcloth or calico from Europe to Amer
lea is so small that it will not be noticed in
the price. The laboring man gets twice as
much here as in Europe then why seek a
change? If you have any doubt on the sub
ject ask any landed democrat, il they should
repeal the protective tariff, on what would
they raise the revenue for the support of
the government? Would it be to tax all
imports alike-sugar, tea, coffee, etc +? Ask
him if the tariff is taken off of wooden and
cotton goods, iron, steel, etc, if it would
benefit the laboring man if he puts the
same on his sugar, etc? Ask him il the
| tariff is repealed as unconstitutional, n the
| laborer here would not have to work for the
same price of labor in Europe? III he says no
ask him for the grounds on which his faith is
placed. Ask him if the tariff should be
repealed as unconstitutional, and the rev
enue be raised on all imports alike, il in
his opinion il would improve the condition
OF the working men or women, and If so in
what way? Ask him if he can name an ar
ticle in the market that sells now at a
| higher price than before the bill was passed
Ask him II there was ever a time wheI
wages were higher than now or goods ever
cheaper than now. After such inquiry, 4

The Country Woman.

Before the blacksmith's shop she waits,
In her high country wagon sitting,
While the good smith with friendly haste
Her horses clumsy shoe is fitting.
He pares and measures, stirs his fire;
His hammer blows ring out with shrillness
Into the August afternoon,
STEPPED in its dreamy twilight stiffness
With anxious eyes she watches him,
Her busy thoughts are homeward straying,
Shadows grow long on field and road
And weary farmers leave their haying.
High in the elm tree DER the way,
On sunlit boughs the birds are singing
Their cradle songs above their nests,
Within the whispering sweetness swing
ing.
She knows at home the patient cows
Stand lowing at the bars to greet her,
And anxious goodman scans the road
And sends the children out to meet her.
She knows the supper fire is lit,
The hearth swept clean, the kettle singing,
The kitchen table cleared to hold
The things from town that she is bringing.
And smiles in honest rustic pride,
At shrewd hard bargains she's been max.

Of homely happiness and duty.

Things Useful to Know.

TANNIN mixed with mutton tallow is
good for chapped hands.
PUT teaspoonful of salt into kero-
sene lamp once in while.
A Goods SIZED sponge is nice for
cleaning paint and washing windows.
A LARGE, soft sponge, either dry or
slightly dampened, makes good buster.
A PASTE made of equal parts of lard
and powdered chalk will curescorns.
THROW quantity of salt in the stove
if the chimney is on fire and there is
danger from sparks; if not, let it burn.
NITRE is excellent for cold, es-
pecially feverish one. Use ten drops
to teaspoonful, according to age, once
in four hours.
A BOTTLE of flexible collodion is
very useful for cracks in the hands,
scratches, cuts, etc. Care must be
taken to keep it well protected from the
air.-Good Housekeeping.

EDUCATION would be on a sounder
basis if all the studying required were
done in school, and the mind left free
for the rest of the day, while the hands
are engaged in regular daily work in
doors and out. The modern idea is
that while sons and daughters go to
school, nothing more should be required
of them, and they grow up limp and
helpless, and with settled distaste for
manual labor, and have passed the age
most favorable for developing the
muscle and will to do it. Making beds
and washing clothes and scrubbing
floors bring about all the muscles in
play, while hoeing weeds and milking
cows and currying horses are equal to
a course of gymnastics for the boys,
and the minds of both are kept above
the scoon of common things" so un-
usual in these days.
