Housekeeping.
For good housaceqing there are two re
quisites as absolutely essential as money
and without whieh this end cannot be se
complielied, namely, knowledge and method
At first glance, especielly to the young an
inexperieneed, it may seem that good house
keeping is nota difficult matter, granted
sufficient allowance of money, strengtn an
time, but in thi5 they are sadly mistaken.
Cooking and washing, sweeping and dust -
nig, thee° are simple enough they exelainn
but I will venture to say that the simplest of
these IS seldoi . none properly, because done
without knowled,ge, ln the matter of
sweeping and dusting, for example, how few
do it properly. The department of cooking
is the most important end intricate conuect-
ed with good housekeeping, yet it is not the
housewife who, with the knowledge of the
gratest nninber of recipes, and access to a,
large variety of materials, can get up with
deliberation an elaborate meal, who IS the
good housekeeper, but it is she, who en an
emergency, say the arrival of unexpected
guests, with, ti ordinary means at hand,
Such as pons', eggs, milk, butter, flour,
spices and h i,an prepare a savory and
inviting Inca,
We all know who have lived in the coun-
try, that the butcher does not come every
day in the week, nor every other day even,
and we have all noticed that guests from the
city expect more in the country than they do
in the town, being under the impression, evi-
dently, that even dainty dishes, like the
fruits, grow OD the trees ; and we can readily
see, therefore, that it takes more knowledge
to be a good housekeeper in the country
than in the town, where there are handy
stores to run to for all sorts of fresh meats
and made up delicacies in which the lardes
may be deficient. It behooves the country
housewife then to study ways and means no
only for emergencies, but to make her home
attractive for her children, herself, and
twee who go out into the field or the work
shop to bear the burdens of the day. Ha,v
ing knowledge, the next almost equally im
portant acquisition must be method in using
that knowledge,for no household can be
serenely. happy in which the duties are per
formed Irregularly and without good cheer.
And this latter expression brings with it a
suggestion. I can see no reason why the
cooking should peepetually be relegated to
one individuals unless that person prefers
the occupation to all others ; nor why there
should not be a change about in sweeping,
dishwashing, washing and ironing, cooking
and churning, thus making each member of
the family thorough in many ways instead
of being excellent isa only one. A change
about would be conducive to relieving the
weariness of monotony complained of by
so many workers, who tire of this branch or
that branch in which they are always en-
gaged. Nor need it in any wise interfere
with method, because the change about
should be as methodical in its regularity as
the washing and ironing, or any other branch
of work. This, of course, could apply only
to where there is a large family of daughters
or other female relatives, their numbers in-
creasing work and tedium without such
change and division of labor. By a sys-
tematic change of occupation, and method
in carrying it ciut, country housekeepers es-
pecially will find they can have time not
only for hornet,' needlework, but for the
dainty and Meer interesting branches of
work by which they can make their homes
pleasing and attractive to their fathers, sons
and brothers after the toils of the day.
Books on cooking and housekeeping and
fancywork are excellent in their way, and
1 much can be gleaned from them'but of
necessity they go only from cover to cover,
and one ha's to wait for a new book for new
..recipes and suggestions. It is the pur-
pose of this department to select the best,
and as far as possible to avoid recipes that
are of little practical use to its readers; to
give information ifrom time to time of new
dishes or old that ill meet the exigencies of
special occasions. , iggestions in certain
portions of the de saaaement will be given on
other subjects connected with housekeeping,
such, for example, as the selection and lay-
ing of carpets; the buying of curtains and
furniture; the healthful arrangement of bed-
roomsthe treatment of beds ancl bedding,
etc. in addition to coolsing proper, an im-
portant feature in housekeeping is whole-
some canning of fruits, and drying of frnits,
for which special knowledge is required. to
attain,good results. From time to time as
required or requested, this journal will be
prepared to wive all kinds of household re-
ceipts, not readily attained in the untry,
and the knowledge of which is the sa =mg of
money.
TB B COMMANDMENTS.
Theologians of promieence are dismissing
the original form of the Ten Commandinente,
and tbe Bishop of Carlisle suggests that they
were given to Moses in the following con-
densed forin :
1, Thou shalt have none other God before
Me,
2, Thou shalt not make thee any graven
IMa.g;
3 110n shalt not take the name of Jeho-
vah, thy God, in vain.
4, Thou shalt remember the Sabbath day
to keep it holy,
5. Thou shalt honor thy father , and the
mother.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal,
9, Thou shalt not bear falsewitness.
10. Thou shalt not covet.
Apropos of this are the following five com-
mandments of the Buddhists, recently pub-
lished in The Brooklyn „Eagle'in a series of
articles on Buddhism, whichis the only re
ligion that condemns intoxication as a crime.
The five commandments of Buddhism are all
, of a negative character. Their violation
, must be not only &complete aot, but also in-
t tention. They are :
1 1. Thou shalt abstain from destroying or
' causing the destruction of any living thmg.
. 1 2. Thou shalt abstain from acquiring or
. keeping by fraud or violence the property of
another.
1 3, Thou shalt abstain from those who are
not proper objects of thy lust.
1 4. Thou shalt abstain from deceiving
others either by word or deed.
5. Thou shalt abstain from intoxication.
Praotioal Reoipes.
The Mowing recipee.aha.ve been chosen
with a special view to utilizing the materials
I ordinarily at hand in country houses:
CREAMED PAnsaiirs.—Boil tender, scrape,
and slice lengthwise. Put over the fire with
two tablespoons of butter, pepper and salt,
and a little minced parsley. Shake until tie@
mixture boils. Dish the parsnips, add to tli%
sauce three tablespoons of cream in which
has been stirred a quarter spoonful of flour.
Boil once, and pour over the parsnips.
POTATO CROQUETTES. —Pare, boil, and
mash smoothly about six good-sized pota-
toes. Add one tablespoon of butter, two-
thirds of a cupful of hot rich milk or cream,
fir whites of two eggs well beaten, salt and
pepper to taste. When cool enough to
handle work into shape, roll in egg and
oreacl crumbs, and fry in nice, wholesome
hot lard.
. BEETS.—Clean these nicely, but do not
pare them, leaving On a short piece of the
stalk to retain the coloring and sweet juices
of the vegetable. Young beets will cook
tender isa an hour ; old beets require several
hours' boiling. When done, skirt quickly
while hot, slice into your vegetable dish, put
on salt, pepper and a little" batter, and they
are then re , . for the table.RB
aalit
.P-Ansninsl 'D IN urrEn.--Scrape the
a
parsnips nd bint
'gently forty-five minutes.
When cold, cut in long slices about one-third
of an inch thick. Season with salt and
pepper. Dip into melted butter and then
into flour. :Have two tablespoons of butter
in the frying pan, and as soon as hot, put in
enough parsnips to cover the bottom. Fry
brown on both sides, and serve on a hot dish.
To P„OAST A GOOSE.—Fraving drawn and
singed the goose, -wipe mit the inside with a
clean white cloth., and sprinkle in some pep-
per and salt. Make a stuffing of four goo( .
sized onions, mimed fine, 0,na half their
quantity Of green sage leaves, minced also, a
large teacuptel of grated bread crumbs, a
piece 61 butter the size of a svalnut, and the
beaten yolks of two eggs, with a little pepper
and salt. Mix the whole together ancl in-
corporate thorn well. Put the staffing into
the goose, and press it in hard, but do not
entirely fill up the cavity, as the mixture
will swell in cooking. Tie the aoose genres
ly roundwith a greased err wetted string,
and paper the breast to prevent i s scorch-
ing. The fire limb bc brisk and well kept
iip. It will require from tWO hours to two ,
and a half to roast. Baste it at first with a :
little ealtand weter, and then with itssen
AustrisAlungary.
Of the two great Empires which are now
confronting each other with a constant
threat of war in Eastern Europe, much is
known about Russia, and but little in this
country about Austria-Hungary. Yet both
. the history and the present condition of
Austria-Hungary are full of deep interest
for those whose tastes lead them to enjoy
the study of nations and political systems.
1 As the very name implies, Austria-Hun-
gary is a dual monarchy ; that is, two
monarchies combined into one by a common
tie. There is only one other monarchy of
the sort in the world, that of Sweden and
Norway, which two countries are still more
distinct from each other than are Austria
and Hungary, for they have no common
government whatever.
Austria, that part of the Empire which lies
west of the River Leitha, and Hungary,
which lies east of that river, form each a
kingdom entirely by itself. The chief tie
between them is the fact that the same per-
son is the sovereign of both. The Emperor
of Austria is also King of Hungary, and is
crowned. both at Vienna, the Austrian capi-
tal, and also at Buda-Pesth, the Hungarian
capital.
1 But otherwise each Kingdom has its sep-
arate Parliament, ancl its own Cabinet, or ,
ministry. Each makes its own laws, im-
poses and collects its own taxes, and man-
ages its own public affairs. In each King-
dom, too, the Cabinet is responsible to the
two bodies which constitute the national,
seglsiaznre.
5There is, however, an arrangement by
svhich the two Kingdoms act in concert as
one Empire, in regard to all matters of
political moment common to them both.
This arrangement consists of a body which
is called the "Delegations." The .Delega-
dons are composed of sixty delegates from
each Kingdom, chason by the Parliaments,
who meet every year alternately at the two
• capitals, and deliberate upon subjects of
imperial concern. Those subjects are foreign
affairs, finance, and imlitary administration.
Corresponding to tho Delegations, and
responsible to them, is an Imperial Cabmet
which comprises only three ministers. The
first of these ministers is at the head of the
department of foreign affairs. The other
two ministers hold the portfolios of war and
I finance. The power of the Imperial Govern-
; ment, as such, is cenfided, therefore, to
diplomatic relations with other powers,
the manaeement of the army and the con-
( duct of wars, and the fina,nciaf measures
needed for the departments.
Austria-Hungary was for many centuries
a despotism as hard and as absolute as is
that of Russia to -day. But twenty years
ago, as a result of its overwhelmimg defeat
by the Prussians, it became a constitutional
monarchy. The Emperor ceased to be
absolute; ministers were made responsible ;
to , the representatives of the people; and
the people were admitted to a very large
share in the control of the Government. ,
.1 As a result of this happy change, the
Austrain peoples were accorded liberty of
speech and. conscience, a free press, freedom '
of marriage and education, and a widely ex-;
tended suffrage. An entirely new career '
was opened to them as one of the great
nations of Europe:
, Composed its the empire is, of many dif-
ferent, jealous, antagonistic races, of which
the Germans, Magyars, Czechs ancl Slays t
are the chief, the task of holding them to-
gether as one nation has been difficult. But
the attainment of political freedom by these f
peoples has lessenecl the difficulty. . a
1 The Emperor was never so secure of his e
' dominions when he was an absolute despot P
as he has been since gave 'a large e
portion of his power, and shares1 it with his
subjects. The Austria -Hungarian Empire h
may not be long-lasting; but it is certain
that it svould have fallen to pieces long ago g
if despotism had not been abandoned, esici a
if a free constitiition hacl not been granted. e

The Remedies of Nature.
Many yeers ago an eminent English phy-
sician wrote a book entitled Nature and
Art in the Cure of Disease," in which atten-
tion was called to the important faet that in
the healing of the sick, Nature dope the real
work, the physician aids by advice and re.
Omen and remedies, but nature repairs the
injury or removes the obstacle, and restores
the eick one to health, Nature herself sup-
plies numerous remedies which are of hies-
timable worth in the healing of disease as
well as in the preeervation of health. The
value of such simples as pure air, sunshine,
water, heat and cola, exercise, rubbings,
diet, etc., is too often overlooked, The
ScientVe 4/nerkan has recently done its
readers a service by calling attention to a
series of papers on tide subject by an emin-
ent Unglish physician, as follows
" 'Preitunably it is the intention of these
papers to convey important and timely in-
formation to the medical faculty ; they
furnish at the same tilne a hint to the pe -
tient at large, which, if he be wise, he will
hasten to avail himself of. Perhaps it is
the author's intention that he shoald, for at
one moment he seems to drop his voice to a
whisper while admonishing, the fraternity
that they must stop dosing and, drugging,
and at another, talks in stentorian tones
over their heads, warning the public to
look to nature rather than to art for re-
lief from all the miner ailments to which
humanity is heir. It may, perhaps be it dis-
appointment to those who have mine to lean
upon their 'medical adviser for advice and
rely upon him for health, to learn that the
effects of fresh air are mere potent and en-
during than artificial stimuli, and exercise
more to be depended on than jalap, attena-
a,tions of aconite and belladonna, or even
bread pills, He inveighs against the prac-
tice, now unhappily prevalent, of attacking
the effects, or outward signs, of a disease
instead of the .cause, or seat, of the malady
—a practice which sometimes proceeds from
ignorance, though it is often adapted to al-
lay the fears of the patient • A swelling
suddenly appears on a man's knee, whereat,
says the author, he flies in alarm to his
physician. The latter sets himself dili-
gently to work to remove the swelling, and,
to the joy of,his patient, succeeds." This,'
he says, is like stopping the alarm bells
which tell us that a fire has broken out. W
should be attendmg to the fire and let th
bells rine.'"
While we may not endorse every line of
the above, the truth and good sense which
it contains, commends the opinions express,
ed, to all intelligent persons. The present
is an era of progress, and the visible gain in
methods of treating disease promises for the
future still greater advances iu this direc
tion.

neutral in the event of a war between Rus-

while there can be no doubt about the exist-

stories as to the manner in which the treaty
was effected. One is that it was negotiated
directly by the Czar and Emperor Williaan
through personal correspondence. The

RUSSIA OPPOSED TO PRINCE ALEXANDER'S RE -

The return of Prince Alexander to the Bul-
garian throne would constitute a real pro-
vocation and add a fresh element to the con-
flict It might suit a combination, but it
would. threaten the general peace, hence
even outside of Russia his'return is not re
ceived with favour. Nobody is willing to
patronsize it, There would be no chance
of any attempt being made to realize it if
m certain political centres reckless men did
not exist who were resolved to make every
endeavour to disturb the peace.
E'NOLAND Alf:D TUE PORTE.
Rustem Pasha, the Turkish Ambassador
to England, has asked the Earl of Iddes-
leigh., who is the British Minister of
Foreign Affairs, whether the English
Government inspired the articles in
the London press, urging the Porte to join
England ancl Austria', and not Russia, on
the Bulgarian question. Lord Iddesleigh
has replied, referring the Porte to the liber-
ty enjoyed by the English press, declaring
that the articles made the basis of the en-
quiry had not been inspired, although, he
added, the Government and the majority of
the English people shared the views expres
ed by the press. Sir Win. White, British
ambassador to the Porte, in answer to it
similar request by Said Pasha, Turkish
Minister of Foreign affairs, has made a
statement substantially the same as that of
Lord Idclesleiah.
TURRET PREP.kRED TO f.C''P WITH rata POWERS.
Newspaper Talk about Health.
It is a good omen or any good cal:Ise when
the newspapers, which are generally devot-
ed to the animadversions and party schem-,
ing of politics, undertake to champion the
cause of any good reform. It shows a gen-
eral waking up to the importance of what
reformers have been preaching about, al-
most unheeded, perhaps, for a generation
previous. Here are some good thoughts
impressively stated, from a contempormy.
" It used to be considered fashionable to
take no exercise; and the prevailing custom
of little, cramping shoes, too short for the
foot, ani. further incumbered with a French
heel set in the centre of the sole, helped out
the fancy. Very delicate young women
who could not walk a mile without groan-
ing, were typical beauties. Now girls learn
to row with their brothers, tramp with
their fathers, and are quite as fond of the '
gymnasium as are their masculine admirers. ;
Eighteen inches about the belt is no longer
desirable, nor is pallor indicative of good
breeding It is eertainl true that we owc
our children a culture of the body as well as
of the brain. A little fellow with spindling
limbs may have his muscles judiciously de-
veloped; a little maid with crooked shoul-
ders may become as straight and symmetri-
cal as her neighbor if her parents willattend
to her in time. If a mother should permit a
girl to reach the age of maturity without
learning to read, we would blame -her ex-
cessively ; yet we condone the offense which
permits bad teeth, bent shoulders, and sal-
low skin. In all cases there is a pure tablet
upon which to write„the record of care.
" There is no doubt about the importance
of physical culture. The hair, the teeth,
the eyes, and the skin. are subject to the in-
fluences of digestion, and is not the latter
to be abnast controlled by the diet, bathing,
and fresh air? People go all the year with
the pores of their skin clogged, 8,nd they
rave over the benefit to be obtained at the
water -cure, simply because they do there
what they neglect at home—bathe regularly,
systematically, and particularly, it is of
course, absurd to prescribe certain baths
as infallible mire-alls. What do for a
robust person will kill a frail one; but the
general rule of frequent and judicious bath-
ing may be laid down. Then comes the
fresh air craze. The windows of a house
should be numerous and opposite, and there
should be patches of God's sunlight on the
floor instead of the cesthetic gloom so depres-
sing to the young, Who are to be carefully
trained. The writer would urge gymnastic
exercises ahead of Greek and Latin, and a
romp in the green fields before any number
of volumes of lore. Let the young people
drink in the blessings of health all around
us and about us mad within reach.
" Last week the avriter overheard a very
much dressed damsel conversing on the
street corner with a youth., scarcely

A Startling Faot
I knew. a man who married a sweet and
lovely girl. She was very devoted to him,
and when she discovered his dissipated
habits, she endeavored to shield him. ;When
he steyed out at night, she would send the
servants to bed, while she waited and watch-
ed for him • and then, in her night-dress
and a pair of slippers on her feet, she would
glide down very gently and let him in.
One night he came home late. The eery -
ants were in bed. The house had a front
door, then a marble vestibule, and then an
inner door. She opened the one, stepped
upon the cold marble, 8,nd opened the outer
door. The driinken husband entered, seiz-
ed her by the shoulders, swims her round,
opened the inner door, quickly passed
through, and locked it before his wife could
enter. She would not speak or cry out, lest
she should disgrace her husband before the
servants.th
Isa morning she was found with her
night-dress drawn under her feet, crouching
in the corner, almost chilled to death. On
her death -bed she told her father about
it, or the circumstances would never have
been known. There is much that is never
known, as well as a vast amount of misery
and degradation that • does crop out, and
which ie startling in its reality.
