Economy in the Pantry.
In households where the number a the
inmates makes it imperative that every-
thing should be turned to the best account,
the systeth et collecting all available rem-
nants of to -o -d, and adapting them skilfully
tor fieture-rneale, will--oftentime-nrairera-
considerable difference in the weekly
expenses. But for this to be done effectu-
ally, the mistress must see into the busi-
ness hereelf, as domestic e are for the most
part prone to waste, and to regard aciraps
of every sort as offal. Without doubt, the
heusewife, beside selecting and sorting the
remains herself, will have -at least, in the
beginnieg of her system -to show how Such
unconsidered trifles can be utilized. She
must sort, trim .end prepare her
scraps, whether of meat, bread, vege-
tables, or what not, with her own
fair hands, demoneteating practically how
the potato pie, the hot -pot, the vol.au-vent,
the curry, the stew, the Russian salad, the
bread pudding, eta, are to be made, and to
illustrate in her own person how uoh
things, albeit partly or wholly composed Of
remains, are good to eat, by.eating them
herself and making her cbildren dca the
ame. Young ladies just beginning married
life find themselves suddenly placed at the
head of an. establishment of their own, and
it is just at this starting point that it is so
desirable that they should begin as they
mean to go on. If, therefore, they mike it
clearly understood, in engaging their ser-
vants, what the .general conduct of the
household is to be, there should be com-
paratively little difficulty, arming well dis-
posed people, in the young mistress'
obtaining complete conamand oncl.coLoperit-
tion, and of having her wiehes carried out,
even with regard to scraps. Let her Once
show by example that her wholesome and
reasonable thrift is expected to bethe order
of the day, a;nd that ;such thrift does not
imply parsimony or meanness, and she will
overcome many_prejadiees and: be able to -
lay her head on the pillow at ni-ght-
the full consciousness that there is no
unholy wapte going on. '

A useful novelty for holding the large

Sugar has been denounced by modern
chemists as a substance the effects of
which in dyspeptics are deplorable. A
writer in the Median' Practicien, however,
.does not partake of these fears. ' He cites,
the case ofa dyspeptic doctor, who, for
twenty years, had a terror of sugar, but
who now consumes three and three-fouiths
ounces of sugar daily,witheet inconven-
ience. Entering the field of experiment ill -
this direction, he, found that a dog' ate
eighty grains of sugar with two huedred of
other food, and Six hours afterwards its.
stomach showed but little of other food.
Thanincous lining of the stomach was red
and slightly congested, and the congestion
of the liver was notable. An animal opened
after eating two hundred'grains of food and
no sugar, showed ninety to one hundred
grains of food undigested. Sugar, then,
favors the secretion of the gastric juice.

Among the mechanical pursuits carried
on tote considerable extent in Chicago that
of the tinner's bey is by no means the
least. 11 18 true that most of the tioware
sold itt this city is manufactured eleewhere,
but notwithstanding this fact the business
here is one of considerable importance and
employs a large number of hands. Arributte
reporter in the course of hie researches
into the question of apprenticeship ran
aoross a tuner of many years' experience
in the business and asked hini for facts in
connection with the trade. He said that
the trade, like almost all others, was in the
hands of foreigners, a rnajerity of the
journeymen being Germans. r There were
a good, many workmen of American
birth, but these were men who had
pickedup their trade , as _ they went
along, , and held served, no regular
apprenticeship to it. Boys were not em-
ployed, exeept, as roustabouts, and the
employers had to depend on the constant
pply of keep up up their lists of men. The speaker
believed _that a -system-any system in
fact---whiele veould secure to boys" an edu-
cation in some useful trade, and give em-
-ployers some 'assurance .that the boys
would remain steady at their work for a
fixed and definite period, would be a most
desirable innovation on the present state
of affairs. But he had little hope of the
introduction of any suet' system, for there
seemed to be a, terrible disinclination on
the part of the lads, whether of American,
or foreign -born parents, to bind thernselvest
to a trade. They all wanted to be clerks,
and work in stores, and he could not see
where the future American mechanic was
to come from.---C/virago Tribune.
