AOUSEWORk AS EXERCISE.
70 ONE exercise is said to be quite J1l quite as good as that obtained 0A Inv cpnrfinU Dl1rSlIits

For arms, fingers and wrists, wash ing and wiping dishes will be found admirable. One is as good as the other.
 Bed-making as It Is still taught In the physical culture economics of the home, can not be too highly recom- mended.
 With the folding of every counter pane, blanket and sheet, the arms are stretched as far as they will go, each hand holding one end. Then standing perfectly erect, the chest Is thrown out. Quickly the hands are brought together again, and, presto! the sheet is folded double.
 Sholders, body and limbs are all de- .eloped by mattress turning. The eye and the sense of symmetry learn much ''.om the regular arrangement of coun- terpane and pillows.
 Sweeping gives much the same mo- tion as golting strokes. For the grace full perfection of arms and shoulders so much desired by every ambitious girl nothing could be better, If done In moderation.
 Floor S.rubblng, like lawn tennis, Is rather violent, and must not be tried unless ones heart Is all right. At first 1t will be almost as severe on the knees as rowing in a shell but as one gets use to the occupation 1t will give a subtle satisfaction of its own. Running upstairs on errands for the rest of the family is first-clasS exercise, and running downstairs is almost as good. Interesting diversion will be found in egg-beating and ice cream freezing.
 Busting ought to have chapter by itself. First yol are down on all fours, then you are on tipto, seeing how far the duster will reach. You twist your self into all sorts of positions to get at the corners of the carved furniture. First, you are on one knee, then on the other. Every muscle, every ten don, is brought into service before you have finished.
 Even this magnificent exercise can be oyerdOne but you will make no mis- take if you only dust every room after you have swept 1t. although many housekeepers dust oftener
 Comfort One Another. Comfort one another;
 For the way is growing dreary,
 The feet are often weary, And the heart Is very sad.

 When 1t seems that none are car
 ing,
 And we half regret that ever we were
 glad.
 Comfort one another
 With the hand-clasp close and
 tender,
 With the sweetness love can render. And the look of friendly eyes.
 Do not wait with grace unspoken;
 While life's daily bread is broken, Gentle speech Is oft like mama from
 the skies. Comfort one another;
 There are words of music ringing
 
 Down the ages, sweet as singing Of the happy choirs above.
 Ransomed saint and mighty angel
 Lift the grand, deep-yoiced evan
 gel,
 Where forever they are praising the
 Eternal Love. Comfort one another;
 By the hope of Him who sought us In our peril-Him who bought us, Paying with His precious blood;
 By the faith that will not alter, Trusting strength that shall not fal-
 ter,
 Leaning on the One divinely good. Comfort one another;
 Let the grave gloom lie behind you While the Spirits words remind Of the home beyond the tomb,
 Where no more Is pain or parting,
 Fever's flush or tear-drop starting, But the Presence of the Lord, and for
 all His people room.
