Housekeeping and Motherly Solicitude. (Mint Rate's BragetT-- • Drains In Eleassekeeping. Girls should so thoroughly master the Science of housekeeping that they shell, be coniretant to teach their servants to celery out their plans, or, if 'need be, to .throw themselves into the broach .with ease and oonfidence, and, -unassisted, carry on the household machinery without a jar. Brains are as necessary in housework as in any- thing else, and an intelligent woman can master every detail a great deal quicker than her less cultured sister, but 'those details should be studied in the leisure of her girlhood, and not when she has the responsibility of a new home -making on her hands. This is like a physician going into practice before he has studied his profes- sion. Women rush boldly into enterprises which it takes men years to prepare for.' All our girls cannot expect tomarry moneyed men, nor can they be sure, in the uncertain conditions of our modern life, that men who are rich to -day may not he poor and struggling in a sheet year or two; and, surely, these men have a right to ex: peat that the woman they place at the head of the home they have, in many oases, toiled hard td win, shall be able to fulfil her duty towards that home in the true spirit, bringing it to a"full comprehension of its cares and duties, and an ability, ao far as it could be gained by ,eonsoientiouti study before hand, be perfOrm those ddties' *MIL • Mmihere There are two, extraordinary thinesa about mothers. One is their patience, and the other is their impatience. He who sees a mother care for a ahild through a long and dangerous sickness; tending it by , day and bfnight, saving its life, not mice' merely, but many times, hoping on when , all others despair, and keeping up when all others give out, auct at last coaxing and loving the little creature beat to convale- scence, sees one of the sublimest things in nature. The same mother, when the child is well again, will sometimes exhibit an impatience with it that borders on the ridiculous. It is noisy, boisterous inquisitive, careless, as all healthy children are apt to be, and the mother wears Maher soul in molding it. This is often a case of cause and effect. The child has recovered its nervous fordo, but the mother has not. During the ten Weeks' illness of a child its mother "may expend the entire reserve of vital energy, and contract a large debt in that line besides, which she may be years in liquidating. She may never liquidate it, but live on fretful and irritable to the end, for a mother seldom passes a whole 3 ear without incur- ring some new drain upon her resources. It is for this reason that, in all the arrange- ments of a home, the ease and comfort of the mother should be considered before all things. This is her right. Nor is it the interest of the family, for their happi- ness depends chiefly upon her health and cheerfulness. Oreicheted Craze Aullusa. Make one or• two large balls by tying odd pieces of all colors together in short lengths ; the MONO variety and the brighter the shades the better. The, centre, or crazy stripe, should be fully a half -yard wide. Upon each side of it should be a still broader stripe of Mile very dark color in afghan Mitch. Star or spider stitch is the best -Tor the variegated centre, and a deep fringe, introducing all the shades' in it, should be tied into the bottom of the fancy stripe (the others are finished differently). Across the top of the same stripe may be worked, in shell crotchet, an inch wide , border of the plain color. The Plain stripes are left ,that Much shorter than the other, but may be kept i from curling by working, n color, a row 'of close crotchet. The bottom of each plain stripe is bordered by working nine double oroohete in one edge stitch; skipping six edge stitches, and fastening down the last one of the nine double crochet stitcher' to form one scallop. After working mime n once, add another row of scallops, made by putting nine double crochets in the caught down part of the first row of scallops; fas- ten the new scallop to the centre of the one below. Work a third row the same way. The fringe on centre stripe should fall at least four inches below the scallops on each side, and should be very heavy indeed. The stripes can be joined by sewing or crocheting theft together. Mast Indian Corsets. ' The bayadnres of India, who possess the most perfect' -figures Of any women of any country on earth, have a ninth more healthful and charming device than any Europeans. Their corsets are formed out of the bark of a Madagascar tree on a prin- ciple which. permits them every freedom of movement in breathing and in any tom Of exercise. Those are wonderful productions of ingenuity. The color resembles the skin to a remarkable degree, and the Material is so fine that the most delicate touch will hardly distinguish it from human flesh. Once made, theta corsets are, seldom to- . moved, the bayaderee even sleeping in them. They thus preserve astonishingly beautiful figures to an advanced age, With. out pain or discomfort to themselves. .0 - ,ax. pisb Ip tav,r'00`r. pail.17'4 Crhnso4 said yellow Per - tiaras II now °amble& on. let jewellery the taate will now be for Byisentine and Elleuseen styles, and again for the most outre forme and even species of oddity, even to the dangling of 4 wheel. 1 barrow at a wealth chain. • A combined fingerbewl and doweabelditr in glass is the latest folly.

A pretty screen is an invaluable addition to a pretty room, and will go, far toward redeeming an ugly one from hopeless dow- diness. It can be used to make a cozy corner by the fireplace, or to shut off the draught from door or window, or to relieve the monotony of a blank wail and make a, charming nook instead of a dreary wasted open space *here the sensation of emeerare would be impossible. A very ornamental panel can be made at a very trifling cost; it is, however, ems. my to have a stook of well-preserved flowers and dried grasser'. Denies and buttercups will bear having the life squeezed out of them particularly well, also pansies; and such flowed as will not bear it can be imitated in silk, or even in paper.
