The Best Beverage.

An enthusiastic lover of chocolate
affirms that for those who wish to keep
the Imagination fresh and vigorous,
chocolate is the beverage of beverages.
However copiously you have lunched,
a cup of chocolate Immediately after
wards will produce digestion three
hours after, and prepare the way for a
good dinner. 1t is recommended to
every one who devotes to brain work
the hours he should pass in bed; to
every wit who finds he has become
suddenly dull; to all who find the ali
damp, the time long, and the
atmosphere insupportable; and, above
all, to those who, tormented with fixed
idea. have lost there freedom of
thought.

Rules for Easy Housekeeping.

One could go on indefinitely pointing
out specific ways in which labor may
be saved and work made easy, and the
suggestions would still seem incomplete
The general principles upon which easy
housekeeping is based may be summed
up in very few sentences:
Regard housekeeping as business,
and attend promptly to all details of it,
as one would do in any other business.
Insist upon havingproper con veniences
with which to work, and get the benefit
of them by using them systematically
Never work hard for time 10 order
to rest afterwards, but scatter the work
so that no DAY will be hard one, and
none need be spent in idleness
Remember that one does not save
labor by neglecting to do it, for day
of reckoning will come when it will
press to be done, and most likely at an
inconvenient season.
While endeavoring to be methodical
do not be slave to method, but keep
everything in such order that any n
expected event may not be o serious
Inconvenience.
Do not fret when things go wrong
but remember that in every kind Of
work there must sometimes be little
friction, and meeting it calmly will do
more than anything else towards re-
moving it.
Above all. use your wits in saving
time and steps, and make the work a
pleasure by following an intelligent
plan in accomplishing it.
