uoUsEwoRK SHOULD NOT BE HEAVY
If n Woman VIII he but Systematic
and Not Worry.

Polishing stove Is now generally con-
sidered about the hardest work of the
kitchen, and IL may be, indeed a grimy,
burdensome thing, il done in a helter-
skelter fashion. If however, the worker
puts on pair OF old gloves, wipe the dust
of the stove thoroughly, uses an ordinary
shoe blacking brush, kept for the pur-
pose mot the heavy brush furnished by
stove -makers), she can do wonders. Let
her apply the blacking with the round
part OF the brush, intended to apply the
blacking on shoes, and then polish the
stove with the other brush, intended
for polishing. Let her do this
with light, steady strokes, such as an ex-
pert bootblack uses. The more force the
less speed. The same is true OF polishing
silver, brass work, nickel plate or any
cleaning. 1t is the light, steady and we'll
directed stroke that tells. The same is
true also of cleaning the floor or of clean
ing paint or windows, or of laundry work.
The laundress who expends her strength
in rubbing clothes is a very undesirable
creature in the kitchen. A great many
clothes must be rubbed by hand alone.
This would be worn out il rubbed on the
board. The expert ironer is not one who
irons with care. The long wall which is
continually going up over the hardships
Of housekeepers has no place in house
furnished with modern improvements.
Only in remote country districts where
water is not supplied to the kitchen, and
much heavy work is done by women
which should fall to the lot of men, is
there any cause for complaint that house
work is heavy.
Women whose "chimneys always
smoke, " whose fires always 90 out, who
insist on using their dampers in the OPP
posite way from that the stovemaker in
Tended, who are forever upsetting things
and are subject to all manner OF untoward
accidents, who pile greasy pots and pans
and half soiled dishes together, are quite
likely to find housekeeping burdensome.

The life Of little Wilhelmine, the eleven
year-old queen Of Holland, is not holly
thornless one. The etiquette of the Dutch
Court is very strict, and the little girl is
not allowed to play with any other chill
dren OF her own age.
A sad little story is told OF the Princess
Wilhelmine, when she was about six or
seven, which proves that the life of a
princess is not quite bed of roses. Once
when seated at play with three OF her
dolls, one of the wax babies misbehaved
itself and the little princess held up a
warning finger, saying sternly: "If you
are so naughty / shalt make you into a
princess and then you won't have any other
little children to play with, and you'll al
ways have to throw kisses with your hand
whenever you 60 out driving"

A little boy in the North Side Public
School recently handed in to the teacher
his following composition on "Our
Breath"
"Our breath is made OF air. II IL were
not for our breath we would die. The
breath keeps going through our liver, our
lights, and our lungs. Boys shut up in a
room all day should not breathe, they
should wait until they get out doorz. Air
in room has carbonocide in it, and car
bonocide is poisoner than mad dogs. Once
some men was shut up in black hole in
India, a carbonocide got into that there
hole and afore morning nearly every one
of them was dead. Girls wear corsets

Girls cannot run and holler like boys

Then and Now.

When was lad to school went
And with little learning was content.
Reading and writing and the rule OF three
Was knowledge enough for the likes o. me.
Yet in later life did excel,
Though didn't know much / knew il
well.
But the schools to-day are different sort,
A little of everything is taught,
In cooking and sewing and moulding clay,
And sloyd and French they spend the day 4;
Into children's minds they crowd pell-
nell
A lot OF things, but teach nothing well.

Here is a cat-and-dog story, for the
truth and accuracy OF which the proud
inhabitants OF the Swiss village where it
occurred quite recently are one and all
ready TO vouch. A troublesome cat in
the village had been doomed TO a watery
death, and the children of the owner had
: been told of 10 take it in a sack TO the
river Aar, and there TO drown IL. The
house dog accompanied the party TO the
execution, which was carried out accord
ing TO parental instructions.
But, much to the surprise OF the in
mates, a short time after, the cat and dog,
both soaking wet, reappeared together at
their owners door. This is what had
happened. The dog, on seeing that the
sack containing the cat was thrown into
the river, jumped after it, seized it with
his teeth, dragged it TO the bank, tore it
with his teeth, and restored his friend the
cat TO life and liberty. n goes without
saying that the death warrant of the cat
was destroyed after this marvellous es-
capade.-Pall Mall Gazette.
