If tbe vote of women could be
takeu ou the question of housekeep
ing, it would be a matter of great
surprise to men to Icnrn the result.
The business as it is conducted at
present would be voted out of ex
istence, or, failing in that, the voice
of the majority would be for board
ing. The work of the household
Las increased greatly within a quar
ter of a century, and the servant of
the period is not an improvement
upon the typical one of the past.
The luxuries which one by one have
come to women, the multitudinous
things that are required to make
homes attractive, and the modern
houses which have their mountain
ous stairs to weary weak back?, are
all things which have combined to
make housekeeping a drudgery.
Time and strength are consumed
while the routine work is being
peformed, and the intelligent minds
of American women rebel constant
ly. What can be done V Breakup
homes, and live in those modern
caravansaries hotels? Xot so. The
remedy lies in simplifying home
life; in leaving out of houses the
endless traps that are hard to keep
clean, and harder still to make, and
by putting in homes nothing too
good for hard usage.
"Women need to know so much
that they do not know, and cannot
while they worry and fret over
lambrequins and pillow-shams, ti
dies and llamburgtbordcrson cloth
ing, that it is discouraging to try to
light the matter atw-all. They are
trying to do their )est, working
early and late, saving here and
spending there, judiciikisly as they
hope, yet never realizing any bless
ing for themselves or others. "What
is a nice parlor or a fine dinner to a
visitor if the hostess is a dull, worn
ont person? The guest who is bid
den to enjoy 6uch hospitality is
cheated out of better company at
home, and deserves an apology rath
er than ofler thanks for such atten
tions as arc extended. Housewives
do not emancipate themselves from
the thralldom put upon them by a
variety of conditions. In the fir&t
place, their homes arc not adapted to
housekeeping. Men and not women
plan houses, and the sole idea in
view in building them is to get the
largest number on the smallest pos
sible space. Then women having
inconveniences of this kind to start
with make every effort to overcome
them by furnishings. Fashion has
to be consulted in this latter matter,
and upholstered articles that get
soiled and fade out are bought when
the family puree cannot aflbrd it.
Nice china or glass is purchased
when ignorant or careless help will
make quick work of it: aud the
company rooms arc furnished as
richly as possible, when in fact the
social circle in which the family
move is so limited that a sitting
room would auswer evorj purpose.
If cheap carpets, and stone-ware,
and plain clothing should be fash
ionable for all people, how soon the
burdens would drop away from the
shoulders of the majority of the
housekeepers. How soon would
tbe fault-finding and complaiuiug
cease, and the dull women become
intelligent, interested members of
the family circle. Suppose the pillow-cases
have no shams; it would
be all the better for the home-life of
homes. Shams should be unknown
in them any way, and real pillow
cases would give more satisfaction.
Then sound common sense should
save women from wasting time on
ruffles and fallals that add nothing
but wrinkles to all brows. House
holds, as they arc now, seem to be
run for the benefit of lookers-ou
rather than the comfort of iumatcs,
and the result is a generally dissat
isfied army of housekeepers. It is
not amazing that they arc dissatis
fied, for that argues appreciation of
uncongenial work, aud those who
arc alive to the fact that their (asks
hurt them in a spiritual sense have
one hope of saviug themselves. Sim
plify life; this is the way through
which women may hope to rise to
an estate wherein I hey will find
themselves serene and patient, hon
est aud true. It were worth all of
life to live if the best half of human
ity could be lifted out of drudgery
of a domestic kind and placed where
the home would bo what the Diriuc
Tower designed it should be, a
temple where

Mints to Poultry letter.
The reason poultry killed at home
though young, is not as tender as
that bought at the market, is that
the former is generally uot killed
until wanted, and, when eaten, still
rigid in death, while that bought at
the poulterers has been killed at
least hours more often days. Poul
try ought to be killed several days
before being eaten, dressed at once,
and with a lew bits of charcoal iu it.
hung in a cool place. .If poultry arc
kept from food aud drink at least
twelve hours before killing, the crop
and intestines will be emptied and
any superfluity of secretions ex
hausted. The flesh will be juicy and
the fat firm. If left three days
without food or drink, though in
good condition previously, the flesh
will be dry aud tasteless and the fat
tsoft; the gas from the crop and in
testine" will taint the flesh, even
though retained but a short time.

M me! I put on anything!"
Caution fit Eating;.
1. Of course, don't cat too much.
The digestive fluids arc limited in
quantity. All above enough is un
digested, irritating ami weakening
the system, and often causing par
alysis of the brain by drawing on
the nervous force more rapidly than
it is generated.
2. Don't eat between meals. The
stomach must rest, or it will soon
er or later break down. Even the
heart has to rest between the beats.
3. Don't eat a full meal when ex-
hausted. The stomach is as weak
as the rest of the body.
4 Don't take a lunch t noon,
and cat heartily at night. The
whole digestive system needs to
share in the rest and recuperation
of sleep. Besides, the tendency is
to put a full meal into a weakened
stomach.
5. Don't substitute stimulus for
food like many women who do
half a day'sjwork on strong coffee or
tea. As well, in the case of a horse,
substitute the whip for oafs.
G. Don't have a daily monotony
of dishes. Variety is necessary for
reli&h, and rslish is necessary to
good digestion.
7. Don't cat blindly. There can
be nothing 1n the body-musclcs,
membranes, bones, nerves, brain
which, is not in our food. One ar
ticle furnishes one or more elements,
and another others. Wc could starve
on fine flour. Some article?, do not
nourish, but ouly warm.
S. Eat according to the season
one-third less in summer than in
winter. In-the latter season, fat
meat, sugar, and starch arc appro
priate, as being heat-makers ; in the
former, milk, vegetables, and every,
variety of ripe fruit.
9. Eat with cheer. Cheer pro
motes digestion ; care, fret and pas
sion arrest it. Lively chat, racy
anecdotes, and innocent gossip arc
better than Ilalford sauce.
Some I.ittlc Tiling ".earned
by Experience.
If your coal fire is low, throw on
a tablcspoouful of salt, and it will
help it very much.
A little ginger put into sausage
meat improves the flavor.
In icing cakes, dip the knife fre
quently into cold water.
Iu boiling meat for soup, use cold
water to extract the juices. If the
meat is wanted for itself alone,
plunge in boiliug water at once.
You can get a bottle or barrel of
oil offany carpet or woolen stuff by
aplying buckwheat plentifully and
faithfully. Never put water to such
a grease spot, or liquid of any kind.
Broil steak without salting. Salt
draws the juices in cooking; it is
desircable to keep these iu if possi
ble. Cook over a hot fire, turning
frequently, scaring on both sides.
Place on a platter; salt and peprrer
to taste.
Beef having a tendency to be
lough can be made very palatable
by stewing gently for two hours,
with pepper and salt, taking out
about a pint of the liquor when half
done, and letting the rest boil into
the meat. Brown the meat in the
pot. Alter taking up, make a gra
vy of the pint of liquor saved.
A small piece of charcoal in the
pot with boiling cabbage removes
the smell.
Clean oil cloth with milk and wa
ter; a brush or soap will ruin them.
Tumblers lh.it have had milk in
them should never be put iu hot
water.
A spoonful of stewed tomatoes in
the gravy of cither roasted or fried
meat is an improvement.
The skin of a boiled c is the
most efficacious remedy that can be
-applied to a boil.
Peel it carefully, wot aud apply it
to the part affected. It will draw
off the matter aud relieve the sore
ness in a few hours.
A laootl Liquid Manure.
A Baltimore florist sends the
Boston Journal of Chemistry the
following formula for a liquid ma
nure for flowers. The materials
may be had at any blacksmith shop :
Put one bushel of (he clippings
from horses hoofs into a barrel, and
fill it up with water. Let it stand
for a week, when it is ready for use.
Apply it with a watering pot. All
bedding plants can be watered with
this liq lid every day if they arc not
pot-bouud. Repotted plants should
be watered once a week until they
have plenty of working roots to
take up the manure. It will also
be fouud escccllent for hard-wooded
if used once or twice a week.
Two or three weeks alter the
plants have been watered with the
manure the foliage generally chang
es from a green to a golden yellow,
moving from the stem dowu to the
leaf, which, however, lasts only for
a few weeks when it changes to a
dark glossy green, riants under
this watering grow very strong;
the ilowcrs are very large and
bright in color. Plants thus treat
ed can be kept in very small .pots
for a long time without being -t5w-plautcd.
This is especially advan
tageous to the market gardner, who
can sell his plants in three or four
inch pots, while he would have to
shift (hem into five and six if he
used ridh soil alone. Flowers wa
tered with this liqnid manure will
bring twenty-five per cent, more
than otherwise; besides being iu
small pots, they are lighter, can be
packed closer and are eaier to be
handled.
Tlianksgirlagr Proclamation.
The following proclamation was
issued by the President to-day:
'At uo recurrence of the season
which the devout habit of a religious
people has made the occasion for
giving thanks to Almighty God and
humbly invoking His diviue favor,
has the material prosperity enjoyed
by our whole country been more
manifold, or more universal. Dur
ing the past year, also, unbroken
peace with all foreign nations, the
j general prevalence of domestic tran-
quility,aud the supremacy and secu
rity of the great institutions of civil
and religions freedom have gladden
ed the hearts of our people and con
firmed their attachment to their
Government, which the wisdom and
courage of our ancestors so fitly
framed, and the wisdom aud courage
of their descendauts have so firmly
maintained, to be the habitation of
Libert- and Justice to successive
generations.
"Now, therefore, I, Rutherford B.
Hayes, President of the United
States, do appoint Thursday, the
27th day of November, instant, as a
day of National Thanksgiving aud
Prayer, aud I earnestly recommend
that, withdrawing themselves from
secular cares and labors, and that
the people of the United States do
meet together on that day in their
respective places of worship, there
to give thanks and praise to Al
mighty God for His mercies, and to
devoutly beseech their continuance.
"In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.

Good Cultivation Pajx.
A good soil rarely fails, even in a
poor season, of returning a paying
income for the labor expended upon
it in the cultivation of any crop
adapted to it. The idea that the
number of acres in crops indicates
the farmer's income must be aban
doned, and the number of bushels
per acre must be looked for instead.
There is certainly less profit in plow
ing fifty acres, to raise one thousand
bushels of grain, than in plowing but
twenty-five to grow the same amount
and trusting to good seasons for fair
crops will not be thought of by the
improved fanner. A rich well culti
vated soil will usually make fair re
turns in what we call had or unfa
vorable seasons. What the farmer
on a poor soil would call a good
season seldom comes.
English women arc the wisest and
most sensible of their sex in the
matter of dress. They have distinc
tive costumes for different
occasions, and for out-of-door adopt
the plainest and most durable arti
cles. They have secured something
like indestructibility iu the hats
they wear for traveling. They are
made ofsergc, without any wire or
net lining, the shape being given by
running an clastic around the crown
and thick piping" rnrds iu'the stirr

this fashion can not be made to

him, exclaimed, "That surprises me.
I have never done him a favor."

Hfcw Ideal or Marriage.
It is indubitable that the girls
idea of marriage has of late years
greatly changed, and the change has
been produced iu part by what she
sees, and in part by what she reads.
We entertain no doubt that the fe
male novelists who have followed in
the wake of the late George Laur
ence have materially modified the
ideal of suitable lover as entertained
by many of their sex. "Onida,"
Miss Broughton, Miss Annie Thom
as, and others have accustomed them
to ferocious lovers. Everybody
knows the sort of hero, half-Ajax,
half-Paris, of their monotonous
pages. Grown-up people may smile
at such absurdities, but girls are very
impressionable, and when once they
have adopted such an ideal, it is not
easy to expel it from their minds.
The person hardly exists in real
life ; the nearest approach to it being
any or every unprincipled man who
is prepared to make "fierce love'' to
any fool he meets. Obviously this
is not a condition of things favorable
to marriage; for while it makes girls
more prompt, indeed eager to flirt,
it indisposes them to appreciate at
tentions of a more delicate but more
practical kind. So much for the
change produced iu the ideals of
women by what they sec. While
silly novels tell them that a lover, to
be worth anything, must rail against
heaven and bite the grass with his
teeth, the whole arrangements of
society keep daily telling them that
a husband is no good at all unless he
has a great deal of money.
During the last twenty years the
practice of luxurious self-indulgence
has crept on apace. Splendor and
spending are slill the order of the
day, and household vie with each
other in the race of ostentation. Ex
travagance, not economy, is the
standard of domestic happiness at
present in fashion. It is uot a girl's
ideal, when she marries, that she
should stay at home; but, ou the
contrary, that she should leave it
perpetually. In a word, if you gpt
at the heart of a great many girls,
you discover that their ideal of life
is that it should he one continual
"spree."
There is nowhere any apology for
despondeucy. Always there is" life
while life lasts' which, rightly lived,
implies a divine satisfaction. Tho

tion of the azure serenity that looks
out from uhder a human brow.
