HOUSEHOLD TOPICS.



Husbands and wives in speaking of each
other to friends and acquaintance should
observe certain formality. Vulgarity
touches bottom when the personal pro
noun Che or 'she" is used without the
name for which these stand, and this
usage, to be sure, being confined to out
of.the-way and primitive portions of the
country, is never general enough to be
worth noticing. You will hear the sun
bonneted woman with the straight skirt
reaching to her stout calf-skin shoes and
the marks of lifelong toll and exposure in
her hardened hands alude to her back
woods partner as che" or as "Tim, -
never as "my husband" or as "Mr
smith,
But in more refined circles where people
know and observe tn requirements of ct
iquette, a woman who does not use her hus-
bands Christian name, much less an alb
breviation of il, outside the narrow con-
fines of their common kindred. He is

ers and sisters or to very intimate friends
When his wife has occasion to speak of
him to others she says "my husband or
"Mr. Jones" doing the very thing as a
matter of course which the person who is
economical of nouns and lavish of pro-
nouns fails to do
a wife who values her husbands dig
nifty will not regard it as of little moment
whether she upholds this by scrupulously
speaking of him with respect as well as
addressing him with couretesy, his position
in the social world being helped or him
dered by her practice in this regard.
II the man have an official title, as
colonel, judge or governor, doctor or pro-
fessor, his wife will use that title in
mentioning him in places and in the pres
ence of persons whenever or to whom this
usage will be in good taste

or Mrs. Brown when quoting his better

A little commentator keeps the family
wheels going smoothly through the most
troublous times. Because excellence is in
variable it is none the less an effort, and it
is pretty hard to have it taken as a matter
of course, and noticed first when the dis
couraged energies have begun to flag and
the standard is a little lowered. Speak
brightly and pleasantly about some well
fulfilled duty every day, and there will be
more and more to commend all the time
IL is an easy habit to form, that of finding
something to praise in everybody's work,
and it will make you more popular in the
truest sense of the word than any other
trait of character
Says a medical practitioner of long ex-
perience: II believe that a good many
people who are supposed to die of HYDRO
phObia scare themselves to death. They
are bitten by a dog-perfectly harmless
dog, 3sually-and they brood over it and
worry about 1t until they develop all the
symptoms of hydrophobia. should test
every case of alleged poisoning by rabies
by putting the patient under chIoroform
and watching him during the stupor when
he was coming out of il. If the convul-
sions continued then the case would be
genuine, but if, in that interval, the pa
tient had forgotten what allied him, | should
laugh him out of it, Dog bites are the
commonest of injuries. Even a rabid dog
may bite man without producing any i'll
effects"
A dermatologist of high standing saws
that the proper way to shampoo the head
is to use some pure soap, such as CASTLE
of the best quality, or glycerine soap, made
into good lather on the head" with
plenty of warm water, and rubbed into the
scalp with the fingers, or with rather a stiff
brush that has long bristles. When the
scalp is very sensitive borax and water, or
the yolk of three eggs beaten in pint of
lime water, are recommended instead of
soap and water. After rubbing the head
thoroughly in every direction and washing
out the hair with plenty of warm water, al
ternating with cold, and drying the hair
and scalp with bath towel, a small guam
tity of vaseline or sweet-almond oil should
be rubbed into the scalp. The oil thus APP
piled is used TO take the place of the oil
that has been removed by washing, and to
prevent the hair from becoming brittle.

Keeping the Hon.e Cool.

Much of the comfort of the household
depends upon keeping the house cool,
writes Maria Parloa in a practical article
on Housekeeping in the country in the
July Ladies' Home journal. In the morn
ing every window and blind should be
opened, giving the sunlight and air access.
After the house has been thoroughly aired
and put in order the blinds should be closed
and the shades partially drawn. If the
windows are closed in the hottest part of
the day the house will be cooler. As soon
as the sun begins to go down reopen the
blinds and windows.
On an intensely hot day the room of a
sick person can be made more endurable
by having sheets of cheese-cloth wrung out
of cold water and hung across the open
windows.

She and He.

After she had MIXED the cows, strained
the milk into thirteen four-quart stone
crooks, carried the crooks down into the
cellar, skinned the cream from thirteen
crooks, washed them and hung them on
the palings for air, 'het up some of the
skim milk for the calves and carried it to
the barn to them, got the cream ready for
churning, put her husbands supper on the
table, and then ran to take up the crying
baby, she said she was tired and asked her
husband if he would not buy her a porta-
BILE creamery so as to help tighten her
work. He said he could not afford it, and
the next day he went to town and bought
a riding pillow, paying for it with the but
ter money.

An Early story of bishop Brooks.

DR.. Edward Swasey of this city sends
the following story which relates to the
boyhood of the late Bishop Brooks:
When mere lad he, with one of his
brothers, was sent on short visit to his
aunt, his fathers only sister, on a we'll
stocked farm in Maine.
They both were making the most of
their holiday and enjoying to the full
measure every moment of their time. But
at length Sunday morning came and with
it the sound of church bells and the usual
family preparations to attend church. But
the boy phil had suddenly disappeared
and no one knew where he had betaken
himself to. Diligent search was made both
through the house and through the barn
for him but he did not appear. At last
my mother looked under the bed in the
guest s chamber Uhe least frequented
chamber in the country house, and there
she found the future bishop of Massachu-
sets. Poor boy! He had probably had
some inkling of what the church service
meant in those days in a Congregational
country church, both as to duration and
the length of the sermon. His little
scheme to secure forenoon out of doors
rather than spend it shut up in church.
had been frustrated. He was brought
into the light, however, and taken to
church.-BOSton Saturday Erening Ga
