Of the many devices that aidthe house- wife in keeping the roome clean, none bear a more important relation to neatnese and SOOT-sORAPERs. sanitation than the humble foot -scraper by the kitchen door. It invites the menfolks to clean their feet and reminds them that the door -mat will aid without an objection in keeping hall or living room floor free from the offensive mud of poor walks. Very neat and artistic, patterns of scrapers are for sale at the hardware stores, but they are usually too frail for cleaning heavy boots and if placed on the poroh are soon broken and thrown away. Any man who has a kit of mechanics' tools can profitably spend a short time in making one of the patterns of foot scrapers here described. No 1, as shown in the engraving, is made of a pieoe of two- inch barrel hoop 12 or 14 inches long, in- serted in a base made of a piece of 2x4 scantling about four inches longer than the iron. Dress out the scantling with hatchet and planesaw off the ends to the acme level, and with a saw make the slot in which the pieoe of hoop iron is firmly driven. Fasten to step or porch with nails or aorews. Fig 2 shows a scraper made of any piece of thin iron or steel, and can be easily fashioned from the blade of au old apade or shovel. This could be made ` with cold chisel and punch if wrought iron be used, or constructed more easily at the forge. Fig 3 shows a form that not even the roughest hired man with his No 10 brogans can break. Thin is made from a couple of old axes thathave seen there best days, and while they can rip longer out they can keep two eyes ready for a scrape. The axes are set in a mortise cut in a 3x4 inch block which is securely fa,s'tened to the step. "Blue Monday.," Wash day in the household is a "bogie man" to every member of the family. Monday, by being the day universally chosen for this task, has come to be called "blue Monday." The man who originated that name oertainly did not express it in too emphatic terms. It most aptly fits the 000asion. Every one wants to get away from home on that day, and they do not require any great attraction to seep them until they think affairs have assumed a somewhat more inviting aspect. The discomfort begins in the morning as soon as it is time to be astir. The house. wife probably does not dress as attractively as usual—in fact, we have seen dresses worn on washday that would do credit to the worst ragamuffin brigade that ever paraded. Then there is not time to dregs the belay and school children as usual. The boys and girls must get themselves off without the usual attention from mother —unless it's the goodbye kiss—while pcor baby is shut up in one of those trap -like high chairs or similar affairs invented for babyhood only to amuse himself with a rattlebox or a doll, Breakfast is hastily put on the table— that is,such as there was time to, prepare— and it is understoodthat dinner will be worse. We recall a boy who said that "mother always had 'boiled dinner' on Monday, eo I never went home." After the morning meal the washing is the thing that must be first on the list. Other work must wait. The kitchen is soon filled with tube, pails, boiler, clothes basket, eto. The water on the stove begins to steam, and soon mother begins to rub,rub,and it is but a short time until her garments assume nearly the same damp appearance as some of the articles in the tub. Gradually the kitchen becomes a sticky, steamy, soapy, slippery, disorderly place, one glimpse of which is enough to give one a serious fit of discontent if not distemper. This lasts at least half a day, and sometimes longer. When it is through with the tired worker feels utterly incapable of performing the duties which await her. But she must keep at it. This method of procedure is not only a real injury to the mother, but an injustice to the rest of the family. Any mother owes it to herself and to her children to keep herself in the, best possible -mental and physical health. The demands upon her time, atrength,and nerves are so many that Elbe should oonservo them by some means. A woman should not attempt to wash with. out a washing machine and a wringer. These will do the work as well as she can with a laborious amount of rubbing and handling the clothes. The clothes come out white and clear enough to euitthe most fastidious. The washing that by the old method re- quired equired three-fourths of a day's time oan be done with a machine in three hours, and the fatigue is much less. There would then be time to prepare a palatable dinner and to rest. There would be no reason for keeping away from the house on wash day, and for that family Monday would cease to be a day of inconvenience, discomfort, and dread, and its well-deserved title, "blue Monday."

Some time ago Mies Elna Brown, a cripple, of Kanesville, I11., hearing that some hospital would treat her if she gave it a million cancelled postage stamps, wrote to three persona, requesting that each send ten stamps, and also write to three persona making a similar request to each, their correspondents to send the stamps and write letters, and so on until the fiftieth link in the chain should be forged. The plan was carried out, and the result has astonished Miss Brown. When her letters first began to arrive they were only a few, but they increased gradually in number until it fairly rained lettere. The chain is not yet half complete, but Mise Brown's mail now consists of from 8,000 to 10,000 letters a day. She passed the 3,000,000 mark long ago, and there seems no possible way of stopping the avalanche. And the worst of it is that, although thousands of dollars have been expended in postage out of sympathy for her, yet it all does no good whatever, as no medical institution oan be found that wants a million stamps. The only one who is making anything out of the great scheme is Uncle Sam, whose in- come has been increased $200 to $300 a day. • Jewish Immunity from. Disease. Out of a total population in Now York of 1,891,000, 70.46 per cent, or 1,333,000, live n 39,138 tenement houses. Apartment houses of the better class are not included among tenement houses. It is a somewhat remarkable fact that the lowest death rate in the city is in one of its most thickly settled tenement -house districts, occupied by some of the poorest people. in the wards where the Jewish population is the densest. The death rate among the crowded Jews was in 1891 only 18.73 to each 1,000, and in 1893 only 17.14. The comparatively cleanly habits of these Jews, their observ- ance of the Mosaic law about food and their abstinence from alcoholic liquors, are given as explanations of their low death rate. In the Italian districts the death rate is double what it is among the Jews, and the popu- lation not so dense, and even in the wards occupied by wealthy people the death rate is greater than among theJews. The fourth, fourteenth and eighth are the Italian wards, and the death rate in 1893 was 33.• 78, 35.12 and 31.98 respeotively. Charge With Uttering.

Gevernruent Advances on nutter for Ex. wort—Vold Storage Should be I'rovltlod ou the Hattvrays of Cana is—Prot. Rob- ertson's Important Speech Berks° the Central Farmers' Institute, Prof. Robertson in a speech before the recent meeting of the Central Farmers' In. atitute said ;-- The British market appears to be the only one in which the growing surplus of our winter made creamery butter can be disposed of to advantage. At this season of the year, usually, there is an active de- mand at good prices for fresh.made butter in the markets there. however, in Great Britain, as in Canada, the butter marketis in a congested and depressed state at the present time. The causes which have brought that about are, mainly :—The in- crease in the manufacture and sale of oleo- margarine, butterine, and imitation butters; and the putting oa the market, or rather the holding over the market in a threaten- ing way, of small quantities of butter from Australia, which,have been held in cold storage since the winter of 1893-94. The quantity of the latter has not been great, but it has been used to crush down the market for all imported butters. The quality of Canadian creamery butter, made from December to March, is hardly known to the British consumer. It it were, in my opinion, it would speedily create a demand for , itself, at fairly remunerative prides. Since the price of bhe winter -made cream- ery buttes in Canada must now come to the basis for export, it is unfortunate that the usual agencies and channels of commerce for the shipment of butter are not available to handle fresh made winter butter in the best way. Nearly all of the merchants who export Canadian butter are, either on their own account or on behalf of their oustom- ers, loaded down with, or interested in, quantities of held creamery butter of summer make. It would not be to the ad- vantage of those firms to put FRESH -MADE CREAMERY PUTTEE into the hands of their customers and con- sumers, while they still have held butter to dispose of. It the farn3ers who have gone into the business of winter dairying with a good deal of courage and hopefulness are left to conclude that no outlet at remunera- tive prices exists, or can be found.for fresh - made winter butter, they will be disheart- ened,and may wi; hdraw from it before they have given ib a fair trial, and have learned from experience that ib is capable of be- comiag one of the most profitable branches of Canadian agriculture. In consequence of these seriously unfavorable conditions, which exist at this particular time, for the marketing of fresh -made creamery butter, I have recommended that provision be made by the. Government for the Immediate ship. cent of fresh -made creamery butter to Great Britain. In order to establish a good reputation for fresh -made winter butter by putting it on the market in the best condition. If this winter -made butter is held in Canada as late even as the end of March, although by reason of the cold weather it may not be deteriorated in quality, it will reaoh the English market at a time when fresh -made butter from the English dairies will be plentiful. That would probably leave disastrous losses to the shippers, to the manufacturers or to the farmers. In order to show the farmers that an outlet for all the creamery butter of fine quality which they can manufacture may be found through t11e English markets, and that at remunerative prices. If this is done for the present season only, the mer- chants in Canada will doubtless be prepared to handle the winter -made butter for ex- port thereafter. In order to ATTRACT T}IE ATTENTION of British consumers to the excellent quality of Canadian creamery butter when supplied to them without deterioration in quality, and in order to fake up in an im- mediately advantageous way the question of putting Canadian creamery butter on the British markets, to be followed up through- out the summer by providing cold storage service and accommodation during transit from the creameries to the warehouses in England. To enable creamery managers to make payments to their patrons, it has been suggested that an advance of twenty cents per pound be paid by the Government on all creamery butter of fine quality made between the lst of January, 1895, and the 1st of April, 1895, put up in clean, neat packages when delivered at Montreal (or other points to be designated), to be ship- ped to Great Britain, the butter to be de- livered at the plane or places designated by the Government in regular weekly ship. merits after the 1st of February, 1895, and the advance to be made only on butter of finest quality and in fine condition for shipment. I am hopeful that the Govern- ment will make provision, for giving effect to this plan of helping the winter butter business. I have been instructed by Hon. A. R. Angers, the Minister of Agriculture, to submit for cousideratiou a plan by which the butter trade of Canada may be put upon as good a footing, as to reputation end revenue from it, as has been won in the Canadian cheese industry, which is unrival- led in the extent to which it has promoted the material welfare and prosperity of the farmers of Canada. cum) STORAGE SERVICE, When it is fresh made Canadian creamery butter compared favorably with the best Danish, Irish creamery and Australian butters. So far adequate provision has not been made by the manufacturers or Canadian batter to enable them to deliver it to the consumers in Great Britain with- out serious deterioration in quality. The waren temperature in summer and the long distances from the markets of Great Britain, impose the necessity of special accommoda- tion,to porsorve a perishable and delicately* flavored article like butter frcmettjurywhile in transit. The quantity of Canadian butter whieh is sent to Groat Britain is still less that 2 per cont of the total quantity of butter imported there, end it dopa nob have ►nueh iees:ilea in determining the general market price for the finest ghaliby of butter in the British markets. The male point to be sought for by Canadian dairy- men, through the manufacturers and ship - pore of butter, is that the Canadian butter be put on the British markets in such oon. ditiou as to its quality that it will eam- mend the highest price which is being paid for any butter ab the time when it is offered on the markets there for oonaurnp• biou. Creamery butter,if pub into a suitable cold storage room before it is bhree days old and kept at a temperature not Above 30 degrees Fahr,, will not be injured in quality Lie much in three month under these coeditions u i Iona as it would be in a week in the ordinary temperature of English warehouse in Juno or July or August, We need OOLD STORAGE ACCOMMODATION' for the oreamery;hutter of Canada at a tem- perature not above 20 degrees Fahr., from, the time when it ie put' into packages at the creameries until it is delivered to the retail shops of Great Britain. It seems' to me deeirable that steps be taken to pro- vide cold atorage service on the main lines of railway in Ontario and Quebec by a refrigerator butter oar service to Montreal, and any other point which may be desige noted, at least once every week, and that mold storage accommodation be provided in Montreal, and at any other point which may be designated,for the storage of cream- ery butter when received there in regular weekly shipments. From the time when it is received until bhe end of August it should be stored at a charge low enough to attraot all the creamery butter which is to be held until August into, it. The tem- perature of the mold storage room in Mon- treal should be maintained not above 20 degrees Fahr. Refrigerator accommodation should be provided on steamships, so as to afford cold storage acoomalodation from the port of Montreal to Liverpool, or Lon- don, or Bristol onoe every fortnight. The temperature in the cold storage rooms on board the steamers should not be higher than 30 degrees Fahr. That could' be maintained by either the mechanical and ammonia process and the circulation of brine, or by the use of ice and salt. Cold storage accommodation should be provided in Liverpool, or Loudon, or Bristol, or all three places, into which the butter could be put DIRIiCTLY ITROM THE STEAMSHIPS. Provision should be made to permit it to be held thereafter at a temperature not exceeding 30 degrees Fahr., at a nominal oharge for the first two weeks, and a pro- gressively higher charge thereafter. To provide cold storage on the railways and steamships only, without the accommoda- tion at Montreal and Liverpool, or London, or Bristol, would not, in my opinion, meet the needs of the case, nor prove of perman. ent advantage to the butter -making indus- try, I am of opinion that such accommo- dation as is herein recommended would give to Canadian creamery butter in -Great Britain a market value at least two cents per pound higher than it would have in the same market, at the same time with- out the continuous cold storage. It would be a means whereby Canadian creamery butter would gain the reputation whioh its quality deserves when it is not injured in transit or in being held in unsuitable storehouses. Ib would open up the channels through which the farmers, the manufacturers, the butter merchants and the carrying companies would develop to large proportions a trade likely to be permanently profitable, without any direct cost to the Government after the first nr second year. It appears to me reasonable that the creamery industry of Canada, which is capable of adding so much to the wealth of the country,ehould receive help;in these directions from the Government at the present time. I am all the more hopeful of this, because such action will be consis- tently in keeping with the whole policy of the Department of Agriculture in promoting a development of the early' interests of Canada by those means and along those lines which least interfere with the enter- prise of commerce and beat aid in the speedy development of this national industry, which gives employment at remunerative rates to a large number of people, and which brings a steady revenue in cash from outside markets. ,. Christmas in Australia. Christmas in Australia does not come olad in ermine and crowned with icicles. The Australian Weekly in alluding to the Christmas season speaks of the "sweltering heat which makes the native glad to seek the shade and take life gently." Bat the Christmas season, if unfortunately not a time of general religious festivity, is one of "good cheer" and holiday making. The fern fronds are placed over the door, with here and there a belated wattle blossom, while flowers of the season find their place —the choicest products of the conservatory in the hall of the city merchant, and the equally delicious bunch of wild flowers in the far-off cabin of the bushman. Oa Christmas eve great crowds of city people rush to the seaside, which is the favorite mode of spending the holiday, and on the morrow, high and low, rich and poor make preparation for a bountiful- ly spread board, and with true English kindliness and Australian liberality, the well-to-do provide for their less fortunate neighbors. The very poorest dine well on. this day. The daily papers are filled with Christmas appeals, which ever meet with a goodly response. In the Old Colonists' Home, the orphan asylum, the hospital, sad hearts are cheered, and the young are made merry. Thus it will be seenthat the spirit of Christmas resides there as well as here.

When the Nerye Centres Need Nutrition,; TA A Wonderful Recovery, Illustrating the Quick Response of a Depleted Nerve System to a Treatment Which Replenishes Exhausted Nerve Forces. MR. FRANK BAUER, BERLIN, ONT. Perhaps you know him ? In Water- loo he is known as one of the most popular and successful business men of that enterprising town. As manag- ing executor of the Kuntz estate, he is at the head of a vast business, repre- senting an investment of many thous- ands of dollars, and known to many people throughout the Province. Solid financially, Mr. Frank Bauer also has the good fortune of enjoying solid good health, and if appearances indicate anything, it is safe to predict that there's a full half century of active life still ahead for him. But it's only a few months since, while nursed as an invalid at the Mt. Clemens sanitary resort, when his friends in Waterloo were dismayed with a report that he was at the point of death. " There's no telling where I would have been had 1 kept on the old treat- ment," said Mr. Bauer, with a merry laugh, the other day, while recounting his experiences as a very siok man. " Mt. Clemens," he continued, " was the last resort in my case. For months previous I had been suffering indescribable tortures. I began with a loss of appetite and sleepless nights. Then, as the trouble kept growing, I was getting weaker, and began losing flesh and strength rapidly. My stomach refused to retain foocl of any kind. During all this time I was under medical treatment, and took e1erything prescribed, but • without relief, Just about when my comlitiov 1 use, C. LIJTTZ 'Sole Wholesale and Retail Agent for Da, Ma/../lotto, seemed most hopeless, I heard of a wonderful cure effected in a case somewhat similar to mine, by the Great South AmericanNervine Tonic, and I finally tried that. On thefirst day of its use I began to feel that it was doing what no other medicine • had done. The first dose relieved the `distress completely. Before night I actually felt hungry and ate with an appetite such as I had not known for months. I began to pick up in strength with surprising rapidity, slept well nights, and before I knew it I was eating three square meals regularly every day, with as much relish as ever. I have no hesitation whatever in saying that the South American Nervine Tonic cured me when all other remedies failed. I have recovered my old weight—over 200 pounds—and never felt better in my life." Mr. Frank Bauer's experience is that of all others who have used the South American Nervine Tonic. Its instantaneous action in relieving dis- tress and pain is due to the direct effect of this great retnecly upon the nerve centres, whose fagged vitality is energized instantly by the very first dose, It is a groat, a wondrous cure for all nervous diseases, as well as indigestion and dyspepsia. It goes to the real source of trouble direct, and the sick always feel its marvel- lous sustaining and restorative power - at once, on tho very first day of its Exeter. Agent, Mansell
