GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
An Accomplishment That Id Abse-
luteIy Essential to Secure a tien-
timely Happy Home.

Good housekeeping is absolutely es-
7 sential to secure a well ordered and
happy home. Housekeeping must be
acquired by practice, study and eXperi-
ment, but the young and inexperienced
housekeeper generally reaches success
only through great tribulation. 1t
ought to be absorbed in girlhood, by
easy lessons, taken between school
studies. If girls were taught to take
as much genuine pride in busting a
o well, hanging a curtain graceful
ly, or broiling a steak to a nicely as
they feel when they have mastered
one of Mozart's or Beethoven's grand
symphonies, there would be fewer
complaining husbands and unhappy
wives.
The great lesson to learn is that work
well done is robbed of its curse. The
woman who is satisfied only with the
highest perfection in her work drops
the drudge and becomes the artist.
There is no dignity in sighted work;
but to the artist, no matter how hum
BILE his calling, belongs the honor which
is inseparable from all mans struggles
after perfection. No mother who has
the happiness of her daughter at heart
Will neglect to teach her first the du-
ties of the household, and no daugh-
ter who aspires to be queen at home,
and in her circle of friends, can afford
to remain ignorant of the smallest de-
tails that contribute to the comfort,
the peace, and attractiveness of home.
There is no luck in housekeeping;
everything works by exact rule; and
even with thorough knowledge, eter-
nal vigilance is the price of success.
There must be a place for everything
and everything in it's place, a time for
everything and everything in its time;
and Patience, patience" must be
written in glowing capitals all over the
walls. The reward is, sure. The hus-
band may admire his wife's grace and
ease in society, her wit, her ornament
al accomplishments, but all in perfec-
ton will not atone for a ill-ordered
kitchen, indigestible bread, muddy cof-
fee, tough meats, unpalatable vegeta-
bles, soggy pastry and the whole train
of horrors that result from bad house.
keeping. On the other hand, success
wins gratitude and attachment in the
home circle and adds lusterto the most
brilliant intellectual accomplishments.

The Passing of Forests.

Senator Alger recently sounded 4
note of warning about the rapid dis
forestation of the province of On
tario. The enormous growth of the
pulp industry is one of the causes of
this. The pulp mills at Sault Ste.
Marie turn out $50 tons of finished
products a day, which is itself an enor-
nous drain on the forests in that neigh
borhod. 1t is interesting to know
that the amount of lumber and tim
Der used each year by the railways of
this country is greater than the entire
annual manufactured output of the
state of Michigan. Senator Alger says
that unless Ontario speedily passes
laws making it necessary to replant
land as soon as the first growth is cut
off the day will Don come when the
Canadian forests will be like Michi
gan's, practically worthless.
