A Neat Basket.

A neat basket for waste paper may be
made from the wicker cover of demijohn.

broken. With a sharp knife. cut the up
right splits in an even line around the base
of the neck of the demijohn also cut off
the handle; remove the wicker casing by
further shattering the glass. Now unplait
the wicker for distance of three inches
from the top leaving the upright splits ex-
tending that distance. Moisten these and
soak the strips of willow which have been
unwound from them in hot water. Now
bend the uprights down inside, carefully,
to avoid breaking and weave them in and
out in the wicker below them. This pre-
vents raveling. To further strengthen your
unique basket, weave the strips of willow
already soaking in warm water, evenly
over and in the edge at the top. When the
basket is dry, split it, and put ribbon of
bright color around the upper part, tying it
with pretty bow .-Ex.

Gentle Reminders.

A resident of town or village can call
with propriety on any new conner, and the
new conner should return this call if she de-
sires to continue the acquaintance. The
time of calling is settled by the customs o,
the place, but after o'clock and before is
generally correct.
No young man should call on lady I'M
less she has asked him to do 30 or unless he
brings letter of intro duction, or he is taken
by friend who is sufficiently intimate to
invite him to call.
A gentleman should rise Immediately
when ladies or older men enter or leave a
room in which he is sitting.
The bearer of letter of introduction
should leave it at the house of the person to
whom it is addressed, together with card
and his own address. He should then do
nothing further until the person whose
acquaintance he has sought call on him or
sends him some card or note of invitation.
Gentlemen should avoid making very
long or very late evening calls, which ex-
haust the patience of their entertainers.
Many young men are voted bores because
they make their visits of three hours length,
whereas if they stayed only half as long
they would be considered very agreeable.
In introducing two women alwayspresent
the younger to the older.
Invitations to small and informal enter
tainments can be written on lady's visiting
card with perfect propriety, though infor-
NAL notes are quite as customary.

not good form, although matron may

mother will be seen fondling her child, and
the next pouring out her wrath upon him {.
Impetuous in temper, she will, for triaing
fault, infict personal punishment on her
infant, and then, moved by compassion or
remorse, seize him up in her arms and cover
him with carasses. All this is decidedly
improper, and ruinous to the disposition S
of children. Let it be remem bered that ex-
ample will 60 great way in communicating
both good and bad habits to children, and
it is required of those who undertake the
duty of infant education, that they should
learn to know themselves and command
themselves. Another common error is fa-
voritism in families. One child, because he
happened to be born first, or is called by a
particular name or from some other equally
absurd cause or, perhaps, from mere Ca
price. is idolized and advanced, while all his
brothers and sisters are treated with indif
ference Much strife and petty misery have
arisen from this system of favoritism,
which. wherever it occurs, is discreditable
to the parental relation. All the children
in family, whatever be their capacities,
and whether male or female, should be
treated with equal consideration and kind
ness. On no account prefer one to another.

barn and stables morning, noon and night,
giving her personal superintendent to the

any other business there must be prompt
ness, thoroughness, attention to details and
knowledge. The above views are from per-
sonal experience. Having made success
of farming, feel interested in enlisting
other women in business that has so
much in it for them.
SO far as the success of women in this line

Women Farmers,

writer in one OF our best exchanges airs
her views of the subject of women as farm
ers, as follows:
wonder in this age of advanced work of
women that do not see larger percentage
giving their attention to farming. Statistics
show that they are pressing into every other
occupation hitherto filed by men. Farming
is an attractive, healthful, pleasant pur-
suit True, it requires broad Information,
good common sense, excellent judgment
and good business ability, but it cannot be
that these high prerequisites bar the women
of 1.-THE present period from this most de-
lightful pursuit.
do not consider women as best fitted to
perform the physical labor of the farm, but
this is not necessary since the bulk of farm
work is done by hired men and tenants. 1t
is brain rather than physical labor that
makes the successful farmer. And see no
reason why widow, left on farm, should
not assume its management, or an unmar-
ried woman farm the land of her inheri-
lance, or why one il dependent circum-
stances should not rent and proftably carry
d
veloping power for women In farming that
the occupations in which she is most largely
engaged do not afford to her. But she has
succeeded in every field in which she has
entered, and she will succeed on the farm
if she will give to it her time and thought.
If she has been raised on farm she will
naturally have foundation of much prac-
teal knowledge of farming. To this, by
reading agricultural papers she may con-
tlnually add valuable information as to the
most profitable crops, improved methods of
farming and farm machinery, stock, fruit,
markets, with such valuable details as onIy
comes to farmers from daily experience.
She should have good form of contract for
hired men and tenants, and keep a regular
set of books, as is done in any other bust
ness; be systematic in her management,
and give her personal oversight to her farm
and everything on it. That very attention

WHILE resting in our various retreats,
from work of all kinds, no better moment
is to be found to take up the matter of self
examinations. Enter into a study of self
and see where the defects, omissions. and
errors are and set about improving them so

IT is to be regretted that mothers are so

the meetings should be conducive of vast

work in order to spend an afternoon with

greatly increase the gravity OF the situ-
ation. Why, II the financial pcrils are

vising some solution OF the difficulty
which could have been carried into eff
feet without excitement or disturb
