brush is for the dry rub, without
which no bath fulfills it's office. To
soften the water, which on the farm
is apt to be too hard for the
delicate skin of the children. nothing
is better than bran. of which there is
always supply in the barn. To one
tubful OF water use one cup Of bran.

sun-preservcd Fruit.

They have a curious way OF preserv.
ing fruit in the east. which an enter
prising housekeeper has tried in this
country with very happy results The
receipt is very simple. as IT consists
merely in covering the fruit with sugar
and exposing it TO the ntensest rays of
the sun-and where can the sun shine
hotter than il does in America? An
English way of preparing fruit for the
nursery table is to pu: it in q stone jar
with cover. and 10 set this jar in d
pot of cold water Bring it to slow
boil. and afterward set it at the back of
the range for seven or eight hours. let
ting il boil slowly all the while Then
take off the jar and let it get perfectly
cold before using. Frosted peaches
make a pretty dish. and are casilv pre-
pared Take nice looking peaches and
with coarse cloth rub off the fuzz,
then roll them in powdered sugar. and
set them up carefully in sheet OF
white paper on waiter and pui Il in
the sun When they are half dry roll
again in the sugar and expose them
again to the sun and breeze until the
ugar is qui.e hard and then put in the
refrigerator until ready 10 serve. N.

ancrs an Small Means. .
The American home, while it unques-
tionably has points of grace. a bove
thatof many other countries, is open
TO severe criticism in many particu-
lars. In the first place. the average
American home has too much pretense
about it aud too little comfort. Too
much OF the means of the family are
put into the portion of the house nc.
cessible to strangers aud the public,
and this. too in many instances. to the
detriment of that part of the estab.
lishment that has most to do with the
convenience. good order and wcll-he-
ing of the residents.
OF course. there is a reason for this:
at all events. the why and wherefore
OF it rests upon clearly defined theory.
The American family has not, as in
England, distinctly marked social
status, Every citizen of the United
States may, and probably does, aspire
to "A good standing in the community,
and as he may be president, or his
children may, there is no limit to his
ambitions. 1t follows as matter of
course that he must have great interest
in keeping up appearances, and this is
the bane of the American home life of
to-day. In other countries there are
sharply drawn social lines beyond
which people rarely think of stepping
They are content to be as well off as
their parents or the people of their own
class and position
| Occasionally there is an ambitious
spirit that breaks all bounds and creates
a new social law for itself, but in the
main, matters go on with them in the
same way from year to year and from
generation to generation, The need of
American families is absolute indie
pendence of public opinion as far as
the outward show of life is concerned.
Once let the impression prevail that it
is much more creditable to have mod
erately good things all over the house
rather than n few things in the
front rooms and guest-chamber, and
meagcr and insufficient furnishings
elsewhere, and the first step in this ad-
vance is gained.
English families ranking with our
people on salaries of eight hundred to
fifteen hundred year. live in q very
much more comfortable fashion than
those in America. The reason for this
is that they care much less for show
and more for com fort. They preserve
a balance of quality through all their
