things: if the mistress is strong willed,
she is sure to make her family ex-
tremely uncomfortable: If she is weak
willed, she will suffer much discomfort
herself, and probably become peevish
and fretful. In either case, she il a
slave to her housekeeping, and can not
expect to develop any sweetness and
light" in her household.
A good housekeeper is one who
not only knows how to make plans for
her work, which is, indeed, very i'm
portant. but knows, also, how to make
the order of work sufficiently flexible
to meet all the ~exigencies of daily life,
without any serious disasters. She
must know how to change her plans
easily. that is. without friction; or W.
to do away with them altogether, for y
time, ii any circumstances should arise
which would make 1t more desirable to
do SO. No housewife can hope To have
a pleasant home for her family, or have
herself anything but a careworn wom-
an, who does not always provide for
the unexpected; and one of the import
ant provisions is to always keep her
temper. II the unexpected happens,
and 1t is continually happening in all
active and hospitsble households,
meet it without any frctfulness, and it
will not be half SO difficult to deal
with.
One of the secrets of being able to
have ones plans frustrated without
serious inconvenience is in being fore
handed. Never allow work to accumu-
late if it is possible to do it. Keep
everything in such order that q little
neglect will not show. Occupy spare
moments of the days that are not very
busy ones, in doing work a little ahead
of the time when it is actually needed.
Then one will be the mistress. and not
the slave of her houscwork. and the
true work of the homemaker will be
accomplished.
But n may e be a slave to the
idea of being forehanded: and many q
housekeeper frets herself nearly to
death in order to keep everything done
ahead of time, so that there will be no
accumulation of work. 1t becomes al
most q mania; and though each seasons
work is done so long ahead Of time that
she could give herself weeks of com
plete rest, she seems only to get 1t done
in order to begin the next, and thus
keeps herself as much q slave to her
household work as il it were always
behindhand.
The only advantage in doing work
ahead of time is that one may do it
easily and at such convenient times
that 1t will hardly seem to be work. II
the habit becomes so fixed hat 1t
seems n necessity the work has become
the master and the mistress Of the
house Is the slave.-Josephine E. Mar
tin, in Demorest's Magazine.

The Twelve Suns Of the Hindoos.

The Hindoos have some very odd
astronomical ideas. among others that
there are really twelve suns which
take turn about supplying our planet
with light and heat. They argue that
these suns are brothers, but that some
are much younger and weaker than
the others. Mrs, King, the wife OF al
English official, while talking with one
Of these learned Brahmans during tho

THE LEGISLATURE.

A democratic senate and II republican
house new constitute Missouri's legis-
lature that is in session at Jefferson

But the fact that tho two houses are
controlled by separate parties does not
constitute q reason that should prevent
them from working in absolute har-
