THE GUEST CHAMBER.
That It be Pretty and Inviting the House
Wife's Pride.


That It be Pretty and Inviting the House
wife's Pride.
A pretty and inviting guest chamber
is one of the most agreeable possessions
of the good housewife. She takes pride
in it, and even when it is unoccupied il
is perpetual pleasure to her.
Such room ought to be in every
house. 1t is one of the Inconvenience
of modern circumstances to be Obliged
to turn out some member of the family
from his or her room when visitors are
expected This makes confusion and
hard worh, oftentimes ill-feeling among
members of the family, and entails no
end of petty annoyances- If the evicted
tenant is quartered upon some other
branch of the household there may be
crowding and contention; the outsiders
things are in the way and are put about
in every available corner; there are
whisperings and inquiries for this, that
and the other that is out of place, and
an undercurrento of discomfort prevails
1t is quite worth while, even at some
little trouble and cost to keep up .
special guest chamber; then there is no
turning out and no extra work except
that few minutes to shake out and dust
and rearrange. One of the best Of
housekeepers has q small but very pref
ty room set apart for this purpose. She
has covers of stiffly starched muslin for
the various articles in the apartment.
There is a fitted cover for the chande-
lier which fastens to q little hook in
the ceiling. and its long end is brought
by a single turn of the hand around
the pipes and the globes, and tied in q
loop underneath.
Another cover encloses the entire
dressing case; the washstand is SINH
larly provided for; and the bed has
muslin canopy that takes it in from the
tops of the post to the floor. Some
loose pieces of cloth are spread over
the carpet and pressed close to the
base board. When an arrival is ex-
pected these covers are very carefully
lifted off that no particle of dust may
fly from them, made into a parcel and
carried out There is no necessity for
sweeping and nothing to dust; fifteen
minutes win do the entire arranging
for the room and everything is ready.
After the guest has left the room is
thoroughly put in order and every
thing is covered up. This is much bet
ter than the usual tearing out, moving
furniture and general overhauling that
most guest chambers require. The put
ting in order is done when there is
time and strength for it, and has not
to be crowded into few hours boz
tween the notice of the coming guest
and the arrival. Nobody is tired with
such work, as it was done long ago.
This takes little trouble, and room
must specially be set apart; but wher-
ever this is possible it would be found
to pay in the saving of strength and
the wear and tear and worry of hasty

THE NEGRO PROBLEM.

The census statistics show some re
markable facts and figures in regard
To the negro population OF the United
States. Less than 80 years ago Abra-
ham Lincoln issued proclamation
that struck the fetters from the hands
OF Z, 900, 900 slaves. Through genera
tion after generation those black men
and women had been kept in ignor-
ance, had been by law denied the
right to learn to read and write or to
hold property. That they should
have worked their way up out of this
mire of ignorance and degradation
within three decades is more than
could be expected; that they have so
nearly worked out their own mental
and moral salvation is cause for sur
prise, and that they should have ac-
complished this in the face of strong
race prejudice and in the midst Of un-
just persecution is indeed remarkable.
When Mr., Lincoln put his signature
10 the historical emancipation procla-
nation probably not one out of
thousand of the 4, 600, 900 slaves in the
United States had even the ruliments
of a common school education slowed
away beneath his kinly hair. There
were no schools for them and no books.
To-day there are ., 500 600 Of the col.
ored population who can read or write
There are l,23s, 500 pupils in the col

There are in the United State 90 a ad-
