BA/mean, Inspoetor . CHAS. ELL, ALriat for EX cte r and vicinity FOR THE LADIES. Without Clothes -Fins, Rousekeepor's Weekly t Most persons take very good care of their table linen after it is washed, ironed and neatly folded; but the care should bo taken before it reaches this state. Table -linen is never worn in the using, but in the washing and ironing the whole automat of damage is done, especially if the servant is strong, and rubs all with equal vigor, from the dainty handkerchiefs to the heavy sheets, Table -linen should be soaked over eight, with a little ammonia added to tate water, which softens the dirt as well as the water, and in the morning, with a little rubbing, thorough rinsing, and careful bluing (never put any starch in tablo-iinen), they are ready to hang out, and here is when thegreatest harm is done: When I have a new servant, and Monday comes, I think of the contest on the clothes- pin question, and my heart fails me. Ser- vants may acknowledge they have some faults and failings, but they all know how to boil potatoes, make bread, and wash and iron. These virtues they are positive they possess, and great is their indignation if you question the results. A table -cloth should bo hung half or two- thirds its length over the line, and no clothes- pins should be used unless the wind makes it absolutely necessary.. Servants take napkins or handkerchiefs by one corner, and fasten a bunch of them on the lino whit one olothes.pin, so as to eave time and and trouble for themselves. Soon you dis- cover holes or tears hi the corners of the articles, and wonder what causes tletn. I only wonder that there are any napkins or handkerchiefs in existence. Neither napkins nor handkerchiefs should ever come in contact wltlt clothes -line or clothes -pin. You who are fortunate enough to have °'real grass," whioh we city folk are deprived of, spread your table -linen Upon it. and the sunshine will clo the rest of the work. Rings antite Thumbs, Wore it left to the ladies to decide the relative importance of the five fingers, the pride of place would certainly be accorded to tbo fourth finger, as the bearer of the outward sign of wifehood.. Granting that honorable privilege to be sufficient to en- title the fourth finger to tank above its fel- lows, it is a question if it rightly enjoys the privilege. it has been contended that the master - finger was originally the recipient of the badge of matrimony, chiefly, if not entirely, on the evidence of Tom D'Urfey and tiamuei Butler—the first -named writing of a court- ship so fast and furious that, Ere three days about were coins, The ring was put upon tnethumb: and Butler decrying the abolishing of That tool of matrimony, a Him, With which the unsanetified bridegroom Is married only to e. thumb. But then he goes on : The bride to nothing, but her will, Which null[; the after -marriage still; which may be read to mean that the thumb - ringing ceremony was merely the preliminary one of formal betrothal. In the other ease, it does not follow that if the ring was pub upon the thumb, it staid there ; since the old marriage ritual prescribed that the ring should be put upon the thumb at the words, " With .all my wordly goods I thee endow :" placed in turn upon the second, third and fourth finger, on which it finally remained. Southey telis us that in the time of the first two Georges ladies transferred the wed- ding -ring to the thumb after the ceremony, and it is represented so worn in portraits of the period. He might have gond farther back. The heroine of Southerne's " A Maid's Last Prayer" declares of a lover : "Marry him I must, and wear my wedding ring on my thumb, too, tam resolved,"from witch it may be reasonably inferred that to do so was the whim of the few rather than of the many. Portraits of Elizabethan dames wearing their wedding rings upon their thumbs are said to be extant. Possibly the rings were not wedding rings, ringing the thumb being an old feminine fashion. It was upon that member of the hand Chaucer's Canace car- ried her wonder-working hoop, and a mum- my case in the British museum bears a re- presentation of an Egyptian lady, the thumbs of whose crossed hands are each encircled by a ring. In the days of Queen Anne, according to the Spectator, the feminine thumb ring was the badge of widowhood, and women tired of single blessedness were wont to don it, and, as " jolly widows," achieve conquests denied to them as spinsters. Men's thumb -rings are no rarities to col- lectors. Some of the Roman specimens must have been cumbrous wear, one in the Montfancon collection, hearing the bust of Trajan's consort, Platina, measuring over 3 inches across. Modiceval churchman of high degree did not allow "the largest, first and shortest of the fingers" to go unadorned. A massive gold ring was found on the thumb of the supposed skeleton of Hilary, Bishop of Chichester, who died in 1 169 ; and the re- cumbent effigy of Bishop Oldham, in Exeter Cathedral, is remarkable for the pressed - together thumbs being inclosed by a single ring, says Jhamber's Journad. When the shrine of St. Thomas a Becket was robbed of its treasures, the famous Archbishop's thumb ring given to him by the King of Trance, graced with a ruby the size of a hen's egg, found its way to the thumb of binffKing Hall, and as the humor of the King is always voted -eust th0 same thing, we may be sure the royal hand was not the only one so decked at court. Mayors and Alderman imitated their betters. ci When I was 'about' thy years, Hal, " says the Fat Knight, "I was not an eagle's talon in the waist; I could have crept into an Alderman's h ;" thumbringand that the wearing of thumb rings as pretty general in the seventeenth century is proven by Brome's remark that a good man in the city carried nothing rich about him but the gout and a thumb ring. The .Ugly Girl. . Most ugly girls have something pretty abbot them, and the few who kuow that they cannot claim even this limited endow- ment become pathetic to men of a generous mind, exciting pity, and we all know what pity is akin. to under farorable conditions. I recall a maiden of this stamp who secured it handsome and devoted husband by her very hopelessness of winning his preference by the tender humility of her worship of himself. Living in the same house, the constant appeal to his chivalry became more powerful ab last than all the varied charms. of other woman he might have won. • Ugly girls, however, generally carry their consolation with them in a, blessed uncon- sciousness of their want of;good looks ; have we not all seen them stand before a mirror noting the effect of a color oo a new fashion, with an undisguised expression of admira- tion on their faces? -very much like the ugly young man who ties lii1 cravat and an i es at.' image intzo :. ass with the comforting mental comment, Not hand- some, but devilish fascinating l" The statemeiitthat ,".ugly girls. are gen- erally left to run to waste, as unappropri- ated blessings," is not supported by evi- dence; who has not met wives as ugly as any old maid in his list of acquaintances? It is safe to make" the broach generalization that an ugly girl, all other things being equal, is likely to have fewer offers than a protty girl, but,quito as likely to receive the one offer which will make her a happy wife. It maybe doubted whether a plurali- ty of lovers is an unmixed advantage to a girl.; one good lover, the elect man, attract- ed to her by affinity in its highest sense, is forever enough. Bab all •other things (save the gift of beauty) seldom are equal between the ugly and the pretty girl; by the natural law of compensation, the ugly girl has either some inherent or some acquired ability that is lacking in the other, which asserts its charm as acgaintanee progresses. Beauty only has the start in the race. The ugly girl often has superior tact and finesse. Being obliged to study human na- ture closely in order to get the most out of it, she learns so welt how end when to speak delicate flattery that she ends by nonvincing the man who scarcely noticed her on the evening wizen they were intro, duced, that the lips that can utter such be- witching things aro really beautiful; for somebody has said --I canner give the authority for the quotation—.that men are vain. Propinquity oftenest decides attachments of every kind ; if a city man had to spend a winter in a little village with a homely bub pleasant girl, he would be inoro likely to Mid himself in lova with her by spring than with the pretty and pleasant girl he left in Toronto when he went to the village. An ugly girl has a firm grip, generally speaking ; she is not sated with adtuiratidn, or confident when she gots it that it will be perennial, so she does not let chances give her the slip, after the fashion of many belles. When once married she has piezfty of grit, ton, to protect her lawful property and to distance the pretty unscrupulous flirts who would try their wiles on him. It is questionable, after all, if a wonan's beauty or homeliness mattes much difference to a man after he has been married to her a year; does he ever know how she looks? He sees her inner nature, and the happiness of the couple is decided by the effect of their inner natures upon each other- Many a man with a pretty wife has been infatuated with the society of a very plain -looking woman who possessed either intelligence or some power of adaptation he missed in his part- ner. Every Girl Should Sew. In these days the art of fine needlework is in danger of "decay. We have plenty of decorative embroiders, plenty of workers in drawn work, but comparatively few who understand fine hentnning or the more corn - plicated ports of plain sowing. Yet this should be a part of the education of every girl in the land, just as we believe that some ordinary manual training should bo a part of a boy's education. It does not matter whether the individual is born with "a golden spoon in his mouth" or is compelled to sup porridge from a clumsy wooden one, the demand for same manual training is equally nocossrry. Fine sewing is a de. lightfnl occupation to a wou'an of womanly tastes, and one in which she can show as much taste as embroidery. No one can tell whether work is properly done unless ono understands how to do it. For this reason, if for no other, every girl should be trained to understand how to form "seam, gusset and band," though her general sewing may be done by a seamstress. "Dangling hands" are a shame to any person, rich or poor. A Pleasant Word, A young lady bad gone out walking. Site forgot to take her purse with her, and had no money in her pocket. Presently she met a little girl with a basket on her arm. "Please, miss, will you buy something from my basket ?" said the little girl, showing a variety of bookmarks, watch -cases, needle - book, etc. I'm sorry I can't tiny anything to -day," said the young lady, " 1 have not any money with int. Your things look very pretty." She stopped a moment, andspoke a few kind words to the little girl ; and then as she passed she said again, "I'm very sorry I can't buy anything from you to -day." " 0, miss 1" said the little girl, "you've done me just as much good as if: you had. Most persons that I meet say, "Get away with you 1" bayou have spoken kindly and gently to me, and I feel a heap better." That was " considering the poor." How little it costs to do that 1 Let us learn', to speak kindly and gently to the poor and suffering. If we have nothing else to give; let 08 at least give them our sympathy. O'.nlucky Days of the Year. In Grafton's ,manual of his Chronicles, 1565, the unlucky days according to the astronomers, are named as follows : January 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 15, 17 and 20 are unlucky ; Febvuary 26, 27 and 28 unlucky, 8, l0 and 17 very unlucky; March 16, 17 and 20, very unlucky ; April 7, 8, 10 and 20, unlucky ; May 3 and 6 unlucky 7, 15 and 20 very un- lucky ; June 10 and 22 unlucky, 6 and 8 very unlueky ; August 29 and 30 unlucky, 19 and 20 very unlucky ; September 3, 4, 21, and 23 unlucky, and 7 very unlucky ; Oc- tober 4,-16 and 21 unlucky 6 very unlucky ; November 5, 6, 29 and 30 unlucky, 15 and 20 very unlucky ; December 15 and 22 un- luekyg6, 7 and 9 very unlucky. Some people gi4 much thought to the poor. That is as far as they get. An emphatic letter just written by Cardi- nal Glibbons in condemnation of the Louisi- ana Lottery is directed especially against the institution as a corrupter of morals and a promoter of the misery of the poor. It has both a pious and apatniotic motive, and it reveals in its crisp, energetic sentences the earnestness of a true heart. He raises his voice against the evil because, "like a giant tree," it casts a. beueful shadow, de• structive of publto morality, virtue and honesty, over the whole land, of which his own diocese is a part. The wrong of the lottery has never been more pointedly sum- med up than in his description of its practi- cal working. He brands it "the dire enemy of manhood, of homes, and of prosperity," and he raises his voice " in protest ane lit prayer that faithful Catholics will help for- ward the good work of putting an end to its ravages." W e do not know what stand the Roman Catholic clergy of Louisiana are tak- ins with respect to the moral conflict in that State, but the powerful appeal for righteous- ness of the eminent prelate ought to be widely influential among Christian people of every name. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. 'Injurious Inseota, Prof. Fletcher,'entonloingist.of tlre; Ot- tawa Experimental Farnm, at the annual meeting of the Ontario Dairymen's Associa- tion, held. at Brampton recently, stated lio would speak to them upon "Iujarious Inseots. At Ottawa the work was divided amongst the agriculturist, the horticulturist the chemist (his own department) and, a poultry manager. Perhaps some of them would not at first sight be able to see the importance of his particular department; and yet when it was remembered thata very largo proportion of the farmers' profits was taken away by the insects which devoured the grasses and other props, it would be seen how highly essential it was that somebody should make a special study of these insects so as to devise practical remedies as soon as possible. One tenth at least of the agri- cultural produce of the Dominion was lost by the ravages of insects, and therefore every farmer lost one-tenth of his own in- dividual prop. There was no reason why this should be the case. A knowledge of the life history of the insects paved the way to the discovery of practical remedies for ahnost, all the most injurious kinds which annually reduced our revenues. As au illus- tration of the value of these studies to farmers, brief mention was made of some of the best known insects which attacked fod- der crops. This was prefaced by a short statement explaining how remedies were devised with regard to the structure of the mouth parts of the insects, all of which it was explained might bo classified as either biting or sucking insects. For the first class which masticated the. the substance of the food, it was evident that the application of some poisonous substance, such as parts green to the food plant, was all that was re- quired. For the second 0lass, which lived by suction other remedies must be used. Such we have in insect powder, which, although perfectly harmless to the higher animals, was very fatal to insect life. Another was very useful remedy for all insects, where it could be applied dirootly, was an emulsion of. milk and coal oil, or soap suds and coal oil Remedies, it wasp:Anted. out were either preventive or active. Speaking of the pre- ventive Remedies the advantages were shown of agricultural methods, as, first, high culture by which a vigorous, healthy growth was induced;second, clean foaming, by which wends and all other useless vegetation were removed ; third, early or late sowing, so as to produce the crop when its enemies could do it the least harm ; fourth, rotation of crops. Active remedies were either the application of poisonous substances by which injurious insects were destroyed, or the dif- ferent methods which might be classed as hand picking. Short accounts together with the best remedies were given for the follow- ing well known insects; The turnip fly, although it destroyed annuallythe crops on sit enormous number of farina in all parts of Canada, was a very easy insect 16 keep in check. It was a usual praotice with many good farmers to sow land plaster along the drills when the young turnips appeared, which induced a rapid growth and carried the young plants past the stage when they were liable to injury, As was well known, however, this was frequently insufficient, and under favorable conditions the insects increased in such numbers as to totally de- stroy the crop, and make resowing necessary It was stated that quite satisfactory results had been obtained ley mixing with the plaster 2per cent. of Paris great by which the flies „ eroall destroyed. Gut worms which weretoo well known to every farmer in the Dominion had been made a special study for many years tleo,i remedies, by which a large proportion of the crop could be saved, were wrapping a a piece of paper round the stems of such plants as cabbages and tomatoes at the tinge of setting out ; also poisoning by means of small bundles of weeds or other vegetation loosely tied together, and distributed over the garden or field at from 15 to 20 feet apart. Experience had shown the speaker hat both of these methods were economical and practical. In speaking of the cabbage worm insect powder has highly recommend- ed. This could be mixed with five times its quantity of flour and dusted over the plants as soon as the caterpillars were observ- ed. Although this substance was perfectly harmless to human beings, every caterpillar touched would certainly be killed. In concluding, the speaker wished to re- mind those present that his work, like that in other branches at Ottawa, was being car- ried on specially for the benefit of the far- mers of Canada ; that remedies were known for nearly all of the most frequently occur- ring insect pesta, and that if they would apply to him it would always give him ple- asure to assist them in protecting their crop ].0s. response to questions it was stated that the proper time to spray apple trees to destroy the codling worm, was immediately after the blossoms lead dropped, in the pro- portion of one pound of Paris green to the hundred gallons of water, which was per- fectly safe, and thetno possible injury could follow either to the trees or people eating the fruit. Speaking also with reference to the clover seed Midge it was stated that the remedy was perfectly simple and easily ap- plied, and if farmers would only recognize this there was no reason why clover seed should not be grown to the large extent it was formerly. The discovery of the remedy was due entirely to a knowledge of the life history of the insect, which briefly was as follows : The eggs were laid by the mother insect in the forming flower heads of the cloverplant As gots hatched they btu lyoung o wedintn as the thform- ing pod and destroyed theseeds, leaving the clover heads about the end of June, and burrowed iiito the ground to pass through the otbar stages of their development. The perfect flies emerged again front the ground lust as the second crop of clover Was coming into flower and flew ,to tine heads, where they again deposited their eggs which de- stroyed the hopes of the farmer who wished to save ,his seed from his crop. It was pointed out that if the first crop was either fed o8 or cut before the middle of June all that contained insects which were only half developed mdstbe destroyed, and thus on that field there would be none developed to lay eggs and destroy the second or seed crop. • The Day of Your Birth.

If the lamps be good and have proper attention one cannot wish for a more satisfactory light, but if badly cared for they will be a source of much discomfort. The great secret of having lamps in good working order is to keep them clean and to use good oil. Have a regular plhCce and time for cleaning the lamps. Put a folded news- paper on the table, so that any stray bibs of burned wick or drops of oil may fall -upon it Wash and wipe 'the chimneys and shades. Now take off all loose parts of the barrier, washing them in hot soap suds and wiping with a ()lean, soft cloth. Trim the wicks and tura thein quite low. With a soft, web cloth, well soaked, wipe the burn- er thoroughly, working the cloth as much as possible inside the burner, to get off every particle of the charred wick. Now fill the lamps within about one inch of the top and wipe with a dazpp towel and then a dry one. Adjust all the parts and return them to their proper places. Whenever a new wick is re- quired in a lamp wash and scald the burner' before putting in the wick. With a student lamp the receptacle for waste oil, which is screwed t w d on the bottomh burner, the ur er, should be taken drat least once a week and washed. Sometimes a wick will get very dark and dirty before it is half consumed. It is not economy to try to burn it; replace it with a fresh one, The trouble and expense are slight and the increase in clearness and brilliancy will repay the extra care. When a lamp is lighted it should not at once be turned up to the full height; wait until the chimney is heated. Beautiful shades are often cracked or broken by having the hot chimneys rest against them, Now, when lighting a lamp, be careful that the chimney is set perfectly straight and does not tough the shade at any point. The shade should be placed on the lamp as soon as it is light. ed, that it may heat gradually. Tho moment the soul fully trusts God it stops looking at self. f�`tl A LIFEI 4 AS been saved by the prompt use of Ayer's Pills.
