THE English and European papers
cannot get over their surprise at the
shrewdness OF the Yankees in not
only sending over their stoves by the
hundreds to Great Britain and the
continent, but in shipping along also
the anthracite coal necessary to burn
in them. The American stove is by
no means any longer a rarity abroad,
although in many places it is yet
looked upon as curiosity. An English
contemporary, alluding to the fact
that we ship both the stoves and the
coal, calls it singular phenom-
enon." IL is rather plural than

the normal determination of the

SOME recently gathered statistics
regarding the number of physicians
in the country show that there is one
doctor to every coo people. In Illi-
nOis one to every 548. The trouble
is these conclusions are generally
based on figures gathered at medical
college commandments. The idea
is that whenever a man graduates In
medicine this at once consigns him
for life to the list of doctors, while
the fact is that not more than seven
ty-fve per cent of those who gradu-
ate ia medicine ever succeed in es-
tablishiug themselves in practice.

HOW TO LESSEN THE MiSeRlES OF
SPRING CLEANING.

That the spring Is q season OF many
trials to the average housekeeper there
Il no doubt. just when the early spring
flowers are expected, instead comes cold
and snow, and when the sun shines
brightly, Il often seems to make matters
worse, showing the dirt and smoke &C
cumulated, In spite of care, during the
winter, to say nothing Of faded curtains,
dingy furniture and worn carpets. The
period Ia truly one In which woman
must possess her soul In patience.
One very important consideration IN
the matter Of spring cleaning IL never to
begin the work too soon. But once hav-
Ing made up our minds that the proper
time has arrived, II Is well to look around
to see how the cleaning can be managed
with the best results aud with the least
amount OF labor to the housekeeper and
discomfort to the family, for In spring
cleaning, as In all other household work,
method must be observed and good judy
ment exercised.
There IL q variety Of opinions among
hOuspkeepers where to begin, but the
garret Il usually the best place, and 1t
should be borne In mind that II Is not At
all q necessary part OF the work to dis
mantle all the rooms In the house ut
once. Let the garnet be thoroughly
scrubbed and whltewashed, the windows
cleaned aud the ceiling wiped, all boxes
aud trunks inspected and aired.
Then come the bedrooms. The
pictures should be taken from the walls,
the curtains taken down, the furniture
removed from the rooms and the car
pets taken up. First sweep the floors,
then brush of the walls, wash the paints
aud windows, after which scrub the
floors, then open the doors and windows
and allow the rooms to air over night.
II the ceilings and walls arc soiled,
clean of with bread crumbs and wipe all
over with soft, wooden cloth. The
furniture should be cleaned, the carpets
and curtains well shaken and everything
In readiness to return to the rooms early
In the morning.
The beds need q special degree OF at
tentlon ut thls season. After washing
the bedsteads In strong salt and water,
a coat OF varnish all over them will pre-
vent yermin coming later In the season,
After the upstairs rooms are put 10
order, the parior, sitting room, dining
room and Kitchen can be taken one at 4
time until all have secured attention.
II housekeepers will adopt the sug-
gestious and proceed systematically,
they will ind that the work can be 30
managed that the household will be al
most unconscious that they are passing
through the annual period Of . misery
known as "our spring cleaning"
