FOR THE MOTHER OF The HOUSE.

In the daily routine of the house
keeping much time and labor is saved
by system and order.
There is no labor-saving machine
equal to a good, thoughtful brain:
Economize strength, time and labor
by well.malured plans, carried out with
sound judgment.
No woman can afford 10 keep house
in haphuzard way; the tension on
nerve and strength is too severe. Keep
clean! Away with the general clean
ing up, that nerve-destroying, madden
ing process! When thing needs
cleaning up or putting in place, attend
to it at once. The model housekeeper
keeps clean.
Study and plan learn from others
how to improve OH your own plans il
possble-lhen execute.
A long, zinc covered table, with
shelf above, will be help and pleasure
in the kitchen.
Let sound economy rule in the house
hold.
A scrap jar is good idea for saving
clear grease. Fry out pieces OF fat
meat to cook potatoes with.
The following is q nice recipe for
preparing sweet potatoes: Peel, sprin
kle salt on, put grease or strips of faI
meat over, cover pan and place inside
oven, turning frequently and cooking
slowly till quite soft.
Feed hens we'll during the moulling
season.
"Woman makes The home; home
makes the man."
Make the home bright and attrac.
tive. Next to the feeling of being
we'll dressed, nothing gives a child
more sense or dignity and self.respect
than a well.appointed, prettily furnish
ed home. Let love be the controlling
element; learn and practice forbear-
ance to the limit of your nature. Let
sweet peace reign.
Remember, "He that ruleth his own
spirit is greater than he that taketh a
city," and not only practice self.con'
troll but inculcate this principle into
the little ones intrusted to your care
and guidance.
Who can estimate the inspiration of
a happy home?
To prevent the baby having collie
give it calomel and soda, dose being
what one can lift on pin head repeat
every two or three days, or once in 10
days as it grows older. The finest
babies I have ever seen were started in
this way.
In severe cases of collie warm
mush poultice, sprinkled with paregor-
ic will give immediate relief.
A paste made of ashes of holly
leaves, sugar and water will cure
thrush in the mouth or in the mothers
breast.
To prevent thrush wash the baby's
mouth out each morning with a weak
solution of borax and alum.
70 promote circulation rub the whole
body gently with hands or soft, warm
cloth. If threatened with cold or
pneumonia, rub the whole body with a
warm flannel cloth creased with NUT
ton suet.
To relieve rattling in the chest, give
calomel and soda.
Cream of tartar taken in generous
doses is said 10 be a sure preventive OF
smallpox.
Equal quantities of pine tar and
lard stewed together until well mixed,
and spread on the affected parts every
night will cure eczema.
Too much money is spent wastefully
and uselessly and too little saved and
made productive and accumulatlve.
We are too wasteful, know too little
how to economize and have too little
disposition to do so.
Too many of us prefer idleness TO
industry, and too few of us know how
to derive pleasure and profit from our
labor.
We spend too much time learning
what is not useful and too little in IN
forming ourselves upon the best meth
ods of promoting our material prosper
| ity.
Put ashes around the fruit trees.
Set out scions of favorite apples and
plant peach seed. In this way you will
have q fine orchard i'm few years.
