Washing Windows.

There is knack in washing win

should be kept clean and thoroughly
clear for the display Of goods. Choose
dull day, or, at least, a time when
the sun is not shining on the window.
for then it causes it to be streaked, no
matter how much it is rubbed. Take
a painters brush and dust the win
dows inside and out, washing all the

DO not use soap. Take small cloth
with pointed stick to get the dust out
of the corners, wipe dry with small
piece of cotton cloth-do not use linen,
as it makes the glass linty and dry.
Polish with tissue paper or old news
paper. This can be done in half the
time taken where soap is used.

Hurtful Positions.

The amount of writing that is now
done by scholars is immensely greater
than it was some years ago; it is
necessitated by the plan universally
adopted at examinations of writing
answers to questions. 1t is probably
during writing that young mdevel-
oped people most usually acquire bad
positions.
For school work nearly all the
writing may be done by pencil upon
paper placed ON Il light board held
against the body with the left hand.
The pupil sitting comfortably in a
chair in Il good position, leaning back
against cushion, can write without
constraint and without the bad pos
ture produced by leaning over desk
or table.
The position in piano playing
should be such that an easy command
of the notes is obtained without in
volving the player being so near that
the arms cannot move freely, and
without being so far off that the
arms have to be strained to reach the
piano. That position which is best
for the piano is also best for the pos
ture, The player should sit in an
easy mconstrained attitude, holding
the body upright. A great many
young people are inclined to stoop
over the piano, and even some pro
fessional players do this, but the lat
ter fact does not make the posture
less Objectionable; the position has
probably been acquired by the pro
fessional in early life. Other pupils
will bend constantly over to the left,
and others again to the right

Rivers of Red Water.

Among the noteworthy things DIR.
Oscar Lenz saw when he travelled
through Morocco while ago were two
little rivers that once a year, at the
time of the greatest heat, are filed
with red water. 1t is supposed the
color comes either from strata of red
clay through which the streams may
pass, or from myriads of little red or
ganisms. Another curious stream
was a large creek with waters almost
as salt as those of the ocean. This
creek comes from great beds of salt.
of which it carries of very consider
able quantity in solution. In the dry
season the creek bed is exposed and is
found to be covered with thick in
crus.ation of salt.

For bread nothing answers so well
as tin pail with Il cover. Bread
should never be put away hot. 1t
should cool some hours before it is
covered, save with light cloth. And
in hot weather it should be examined
very frequently for signs of mould
The pals should be washed and
scalded, and allowed to dry thor
oughly as soon as emptied In warm
weather they may need it oftener.
Breadcloths, if used, should be
changed often.
For cake, too, tin is usually best
The ten-pound lard pals, with their
close covers, after they have been
thoroughly cleansed, of course, and
perhaps used q while for other pur-
poses to do away with any .clinging
odor, make excellent substitutes for
cake e-boXes. Fruit-cake, if unfrosted
may be kept in earthern jars, but
frosting keeps best in tin. Cookies
and snaps may be put in covered
earthern jars, with cloths to further
exclude the air, for they dry very
quickly.
If the cellar is not unusually damp,
pies would be better kept there on q
swinging shelf or screened cupboard
Doughnuts should have an earthern
jar with cover, and one kept for
them only.
Meats should never be exposed to
the light, whether they are cooked or
uncooked. Too careful attention can
not be given them A half hour s
delay or even few minutes is often
enough for their loss. If one has not
refrigerator, they should be care
fully covered, taking care that no fly
has gotten or can get within the GOV
ering, and consigned to the coolest,
darkest place available.
If it is desirable to keep an article
very cold, or to cool it speedily, and
ice is not to be had, a pan of cold
water on the cellar bottom will often
serve the purpose. On very hot
days, perishable articles, as milk
butter or berries, are sometimes hung
in the well, and they are delightfully."-

numbers, and make such exceedingly
loud croaking, that they are known as
"Organs."
The study of the growth of the frog
is one of the most interesting that can
attract practical naturalist. The eggs
themselves appear in the form of a mass
of transparent Jelly with black dots
leach of which Is an egg distributed
through it. If few of these eggs are
taken and placed in an aquarium in an
ordinary sitting room they rapidly de-
velop. In the course of couple of
days the black spot alters its shape, a
rudimentary head can be observed,
and tail is gradually elong tied; the
head becomes separated from the body
by short neck, gills make their ap-
pearance on each side of the head, the
animal escapes from the membrane
which confines it, and is, in fact,
matched: not, indeed, into a frog, but
into a little fish-like form as tadpole.
As the eggs are usually deposited in
the latter end of March, the present is
a very advantageous time for studying
this inter, sting phase of natural history.
The aquarium in which the tadpoles
are reared should be allowed to be-
come covered with the green slime
which is so rapidly developed when 1t
is placed in the light, as this contains
the minute animals on which the tad

SUNDAY DINNER AND TEA.

The problem of arranging the "Sun-
day dinner" is one which perplexes
many housekeepers
In a large number of families 1t is
the only day in the week that the hus.
hand and father takes his midday meal
with them, aud naturally it is desired
to have it especially enjoyable.
But on the other hand it is day that
the maid must be regarded also. AS far
as possible it should be a day of rest to
| her, and a conscientious mistress will
so order her household duties that her
maid can attend church some time dur
ing the day, even il she Is unable to
gi e her the entire afternoon and even
ing which is so often claimed.
A mother with young children needs
all the tact aud management that she
is capable of, to get through the day 50
that it may be one to he enjoyed and
looked forward to as the happiest one
in the week, which in theory we know
it should be, but which in practice is
often the reverse.
If we would commence to prepare
for our Sundays on Saturdays, it
might simplify the question and be OF
great assistance.
This Saturday preparation does not
mean cold Sunday dinner; or a
warmedover dinner; in place of that it
should be made especially good, for by
iudicious forethought on Saturday one
can select dishes that could be quickly
cooked, a dessert that could be made
the day bef,re, a., d an additional
delicacy might be added for this dessert
which requires no oking, such as
nuts and raisins, or confectionery, or
fruit.
Pretty little fancy dish 8, that are
not used through the week, will help
make the table attractive, and one or
two flowers with cluster of green
leaves will give a touch of refinement
and brighten even the plainest-looking
table.
Changes in the table linen through
the week should be made with view
to having it perfectly fresh and clean
for Sunday.
If the customary change of clothing
for each member of the family is taken
from bureau or closet and laid care
fully on n chair III the bedrooms, before
going to bed Saturday night, with
buttons all on, rents repaired, spots
removed from dress and cloaks, shoes
blackeued, and fresh ruffs basted in
neck and sleeves, much will have been
d.'ne to ensure happiness and peace of
mind for the coming day, and we
shall have n. ore time tl>lk how we can
make the day brighter for the others,
by striving to make our tones aud man
ners more gentle aud affectionate, and
to give expression to the love and good
! will in our hearts for the dear ones In
our home.

poles feed; by allowing a sufficient
quantity of this to be produced, the
tadpoles thrive, and their fore and
hind legs may be seen to grow, at the
same time their tails and gills are alb
sorbed and disappear, and the little
gill breathing fish like tsdpole gradu-
ally becomes developed into a perfect
frog, breathing air by means of lungs.
As an object lesson in natural his
tory, 1 know of nothing more interest
ing than the study of the growth and
development of this common animal.
Taipoles are not, as II generally
stated, vegetable feeders exclusively.
1t is the minute animals existing In the
green slime that furnishes the greater
part of their dietary and those that die
are eaten by the others. In many
parts of the country where frogs are
abundant, there is legend that it oc-
casionally rains frogs; this myth arises
from the thousands, or perhaps mil
lions of these young animals making
their appearance at the same time,
usually after a shower OF rain, which IS
readily accounted for by the fact that
all these young tadpoles were Matched,
developed, and emerge from the water
on the same day, and cover the surface
of the ground so thickly as to give rise
to the legen that they come from the
heavens.
There is another circumstance con-
nected with the frog which may inter
est some of our readers. On the Con-
tineut it Is well known frogs form a
favorite article of food. They are
sold in the markets, where they may
be selected, and the vendor will at once
proceed to cut off the hind legs the
only part that is used for food, skin
them, which is done almost instantane-
ously, and dispose of them to the pur-
chaser

realize the dull, cold dawn which had

as though in pain, when a hand was

FROGS EDIBLE AND OTHER
WISE.

If the question, GLOW many kinds
Of frogs exist in England?" were put to
anyone but professed naturalist, the
reply would almost invariably be, 81
know of but one." This, however,
ould not be correct answer. Two
very distinc; species of frogs are found
in this country. The common frog,
which is universally distributed in
places near water. which is known TO
naturalists by the scientific name of
Rama temporaria, title which was
given to it by the great Linn9us, in
consequence of its being distinguished
by large patch of dark color behind
the eye over the temporal bone. There
is, in additi N to the common frog,
another species, known as the edible
frog OR. esculents), which exists in
large numbers in many parts of this
country. but which, in consequence of
its habits being so different from those
of the common frog, is less known, and
to many persons not known at all.
The edible frog rarely leaves the water
in which it chiefly resides. IL does
not, like the common frog, wander a
long way from the elements in which
1t was born, consequently it lis not
frequently seen, and when it is dis
turbed it Immediately caps into the
water, and remains submerged for a
long time.
ssThe engravings show the two species,
the black mark on the side of the head
of the common frog readily distin-
guishes it. la the edible frog this
mark is absent, but the marbling on
the sides is much more distinct and
beautiful. The males, also, are distin-
guished by large vocal air sacs, which
are distended when the animal croaks,
and appear to be the means by which
the voice is rendered infinitely more
powerful than that of the common
frog 1t is singular that so well marked
creature could have so long escaped
common observation, but it is very
timid animal, taking to the water on
the least alarm and not easy to catch.
The species is, however, common in
Cambridgeshire, and there are certain
districts where they abound in such
