The Household.
The Ola and the New Way of House
Cleaning.

Your sterling housewife used to
think-alas! in some instances she
thinks the same to-day-that unless
every room in the house were torn
up and cleaned out simultaneously,
that something was wrong in the
machinery of thoroughness; SO she
dragged out parlor, bedroom, din
ing room, kitchen and even wood
house gods at one and the same
time, until the back yard and all
the piazzas presented a scene of
chaos which would have maddened
the saints themselves, to say moth
ing of the poor, frail human hus-
band who came home to rest, dine
or to sup, and after he had failed
utterly in any of these attempts,
went away with q clouded brow
and sigh of regret for the dusty
bachelor days of auld lang syne,
when house-cleaning was an I'M
known science, and meals, however
poor and unappetizing, were served
on time to at least the partial saliva
ton of his stomach.
Ifshe only gave an hours thought
to the subject, quiet hour which
all wives and mothers so frequently
need, but which they so seldom
take-that hour should be spent in
Iabsolute solitude either in their own
rooms or the open, restful air-she
would soon come to the conclusion
that house cleaning must not be
undertaken in the rainy season,
and that in no event must more
than one room be put under active
Operations at once. Where plenty
of help is not kept it is wise to do
a days substantial cooking before
the eventful time arrives, so that
the family may not suffer for proper
food during the bombardment Of
the house. You may boil a ham,
not forgetting to stuff it with cloves,
and bake it. You may prepare a
liar of salad, and boil an immense
pot of potatoes, from which, if they
are kept in the ice box, you can
lquickly prepare different and ap-
petizing dish for every meal. II
you can possibly do so, procure
Iyour bread from bakery during
these trying days, and if you are
too far from town for that, do a
good baking of bread before you
begin, and do without pies and
cakes until you have abundant
timeto preparethem, Ricepudding,
tapioca, or in fact, any kind of GUS
tard, will keep in an ice box fo1
two or three days, so you can make
a supply of those things ifyou like.
Don't try to prepare hot breads OF
meats for the time being. Canned
vegetables are easily prepared, and
every country housewife, at least,
ALWAYS has ON hand an abundant
supply OF canned fruit. Have
washing enough done to run the
establishment for a week from the
time you begin operations. BE
prepared, and IL 50 doing avoid
giving hostage to misery.
i II 1t is possible to employ man
to clean ca,"nets, do so by all means,
as such work is too mucS for the
strength of most women, and the
laying should always be dope by
men, as nothing is so well calculat-
ed to pull a womap's body all to
pieces as the necessary stFetOAing
of carpets. Where it is impossible
to secure help, as it is in many

Adventurous Gold Hunters.

Walter Ralph and Eddie Shuier,
two schoolboys Of San Francisco, read
in the papers the marvellous stories
of discoveries Of gold in Alaska,
which appear from time to time, and
determined TO have some of it. They
stole II small fishing boat, spent all
the money they could raise for pro-
visions, and set sail for Alaska in the
open, cat-rigged boat. They We're
but II few hours from the Golden Gate
when they were caught in Il furious
southeast gale and blown out to sea.
Their provisions lasted them ten
days, and they had been starving for
four days, when a schooner caught
sight Of the distress signal, which
they had fastened to their mast, and
picked them up. They were uncon-
scious when found, and we're restored
with the greatest difficulty New
