An Oversight.

To impress on young children just
what should and should not be done
and why is among the most trying
problems of parents, as evidenced by
the recent experience of a West Phlia-
delphia mother. Last Sunday she
asked her small son, aged eight, to
carry chair for her from the dining
room to the parlor. He started of
willingly, but in the hall he tripped
and fell. Amid the crash could be
heard the boy giving vent to utterances
that would have done credit to a pirate
Of ancient days. The mother was
taken by surprise and was greatly
shocked. She gave the boy long and
serious talk on the subject Of pro-
family. This apparently did not make
the right impression, for when she con-
ciuded the boy added to her discom-
future by exclaiming, II am sorry
swore, mamma, but / forgot 1t was
Sunday. "-Philadelphia Record.

A LONG WASH DAY.
Il Lasted a Week, but Came Only Four
Times a Year.

Every one has heard of the German
and Dutch method of accommodating
soiled clothes and of having wash
day only two or three. times year
Not every one realizes, perhaps that
the custom was brought over to this
country from Holland and that the
Dutch settlers long continued its prac-
uce. In these days of the ever ready
laundry 1t Is strange to read of the
laborious period which came to our
New Amsterdam ancestors four times
a year. Helen Evertson Smith tells
about 1t in Colonial Days and Ways"
The custom of quarterly clothes
washings was maintained notwith-
standing our summer heats and the
immense quantities of. clothes neces-
sary to keep up the state of cleanll-
ness required by Dutch instincts. A
New Englander who had married
citizen of New York writes In 17GO
Of this practice, which was undoubted-
ly strange to her:
Grandmother Blum is so deep in
her quarterly wash this week that she
has time only to send her love-"
The washing was done in an out
house called the bleeckeryen, where
the water was boiled in immense ket-
ties and all the other processes of the
laundry work carried on. The work
required not less than a week, fire.
Quently two weeks.
During the time preceding this cruel
~ hard labor the soiled clothes were
accommodating in very large hampers of
open basketwork. This custom origi-
mated the necessity for the great stores
Of linen with which every bride was
provided.

PARSLEY SUGGESTIONS.
Sinister Beliefs Associated With the
Plant In England.


Many superstitions are connected
with the herb parsley, probably
through an ancient Greek practice, the
graves Of the dead being strewn with
1t and the plant thereby gaining a
sinister Significance.
In Hampshire it is considered very
unlucky. to give root Of this herb
away, since they say that IL this be
done Ill luck will fall upon them. In
Devonshire to transplant parsley is
likewise to commit a serious offense
against the guardian genius who pre-
sides over the plants. In Suffolk 1t is
said that If parsley be sown on Good
Friday 1t will grow well and flourish,
but If it be sown on any other day It
will not come double.
In Shropshire they have a saying
that where parsley grows In the gar
den 9TH missis is master" In Buck
1nghamshire parsley is regarded as a
somewhat uncanny herb, and an old
gardener once assured me on hearing
me lament that the seed l had sown
had not come up that 1t was necessary
to SOW parsley for nine times before
one could get any to grow. This say
ing l have heard later in Shropshire,
where they say the devil takes all
but the last. Likewise. too, in Shrop-
shire they say that to transplant pars-
ley will bring about ,death.-West-

mys country-into the banner corn
country of the entire land-and carry
off the first honors, there is no room
for further argument as to the advan-
tages offered to the farmer who casts
his lot in this section. 1t is an en-
phatic disproving of the old fallacy

cotton, and puts to the fore with
strong emphasis the claim that even
the farmers of Illinois can better

1t also demonstrates another fact
that We have tried to bring forcibly

is that our people are sleeping and

as nearly perfect as we have ever
seen rendered on such occ asions.

he wanted, and we suppose most of
the girls were satisfied.
