Good Housekeeping'
In how many houses does the Mis-
tress insiat that the bed-chinabers shall
be properly dusted? Yet in those bed
chamberwe lie helpless and thicon-
scions viainas to whatever influences
may eho se to practise their spells upon
Tiii durin a third of our lives, Too of-
ten it is taken for granted, the outside
of thingelooking as it should, that all
the rest is in keeping; but eternal vigi-
lance is the only price of liberty in any
matter of health or housewerk, as in
polities; and if the mistress, does not
appear it on. the scene at unexpected
times, li e the tree chere /nein of Miss
Bremer' novel, coming down on the
servants like the Day of Judgment, the
maid • 1 infallibly shirk a 'portion of
her wor ; the mistress shirking byneg-
lect of in pection, why should' the maid
do bette ? So she will get through her
.chamber work by tossing the bed. .to-
gether a ad - slicking off" the tops of
things w erever she can. Yet if one
would b in perfect health,the mat-
tresses a well as the coverings should
he sep r ted and thrown back from the
bed, uii er an open window, in dry
weather, every day, and three or four
times a year should be expos d the day
long, ir1the sun and. wind; the bedstead
should be wiped with a cloth eery day
in all i s cracks and chinks and sur-
faces; the carpet under the bed. should
be swept thoroughly, as often as twice a
week; ad. if there is no carpet, but a
floor of polished wood, that should. be
-wiped. with a moist cloth, to which lint
and dtts will adhere, every ' orning.
Whenevr it is positively necess ry that
the beds should be made up in 4 hurry,
a geed bushing and wiping of the mat-
tresses c n take the place of :longer ex-
posure, ed sheets and blankets that
are sha en in, the outer air a dozen
times oiF so from a window are per-
haps bet, er aired than if merely left
idly lying over a chair for any length of
time.
Even when thoroughly done and all
as it shoUld be, in how many houses is
it, againl that the sweeping and dusting
take pla
ce at the proper hours? Of
course sleeping rooms cannot be attend-
ed to until they are vacated., but librax-
jos, parlors, halls, dining -rooms, the
greater part of the lower floor, in fact,
and the passages of the upper ones,
should b all put into conaplete order
before t, e family come down stairs.
Nothing can be in worse taste„ or indi-
cat in$re careless and irresponsible
t
hou eke:ping, than the disarray of
rooms al d. halls, by disordered furni-
ture; an brooms brushing aleng clouds
of dust at an hour when teems and
halls co ld, be occupied, or when people
may be inging at the door. If servants
cannot p t the honse in order, so far as
that par, of, the work is conCerned, be-
fore bre kfast, they should be disiniss-
ed, and heir situations given to those
. who can ; and whenever they do not do
it, the fa It is apt to lie with, the mis-
tress wills does not demand, it. It is
neither cruelty, unkindnese, nor en-
forcing an amount of overwork to de-
mand this, as early rising is not injuri-
ous, and , there are plentyof other
hours in which compensatory rest may
he talerni.

Brove!aa White, Home -Made and
Bakery Bread. ,
If you were to constantly keep child-
ren on brown bread -namely bread
from wh-ch the bran has not been el-
iininate , yea would soon fieish their
career. It is extremely lax tive, and
consequettly would keep th4 children
oradulta either, in a perpetua diarrhcea
My wife occasionally takes a loaf or
two of btown bread, for the use of the
family, in place of aperient medicine.
With reference to bought iread. and.
bread balked at home, there is a very
wide eonjtrast in the q.uality, and still
wider d fference in the expeese. Some
time ag4 a gentleman who took tea with
us pietas d oae bread. Further he asked
to be made acquainted with oar baker.
I told liijn. my wife or daughter inyari-
bly mad or superintended the making
of the br ;ad, and I ventured to hint he
(weboth ha-ve large families) ' must find.
the pure ase of bread very expensive.
He said . e had done so, especially as
the letke ' had cheated hire. He had.
ordered . 0 many stone (fourteen pounds)
of flour te be weekly made into bread;
the bake • charged him the retail price
of the flcur, yeast, milk, &e., and so
much for the baking and trouble of
makiug. On coming home, he had ,a
stispicion, as to the weight, end fontd
that he l only got eleven pounds or
twelve pc?unds to the stone. i Since he
had spoken about it, he got the full
fourteen pounds, and found his expenses
considerably lightened. I ventured to
assert that he should have more than
fourteen pounds of bread from fourteen
pounds of flour, taking nine account,
yeast. milk, salt, &c., .but he ridiculed
the assertion. The neat time my wife
bakedrweighed the bread as it came
from the oven, and found- that the four-
teen pounds of flour produceti within an
ounce of nineteen pounds , of bread.
My friend's wife took a lessoa in bread -
making, and has since continued it.

the nutritive value of one pound of

Husk Mats.
Husks finely hetcheled, make filling
for a ma tress that is fully .second rate,
you mus know, but we are ir tent on a
-door-ma The mat is made of a three -
stranded braid, begun rather narrower,
but dire tly enlarged to abou one and a
half incl es in width, with a bunch of
husks &led at each ture. Every
bunch i • braiding must hay,zthe buts
left out tenly on top of the b aid, about
three or three and a half inc ies. Small
hands 1 ay bunch, but ti4e braider
-should b .1 a strong fellow able to twist
the strat ds of the braid solidly in place
and hol I them there. TwO or three
bunches will keep him sweating at his
work. . s soon as a couple ,of feet in -
length. is braided, the thick, harsh ends
of the in ts may be squared off with a
broad hatchet by holding ; the braid
edgewise along a chopping plonk. Then
the fine inish may be given to the imp.
The old iNvay was to use a: two -tined
table -fork for this business, but we con-
trived a better tool -taking a bit of
tough hickory, rather like the handle
of a tooth brush, and setting .five sharp
wire nails in it as near together as the
riek of splitting the wood allowed. This
proved .elmost perfect, but iron wire

as the braid is doiil e. We were an
hour, probably, in braiding six ,pounds
of husks, worth, say, three cents, green
weight, and that made a mat round
end round, starting from the centre, two
feet in diameter. 1For the sewing,
a crooked bagging -needle, six inches
ong, with stout cotton twine is needed.

- Sardine Fisheries.
The sardine fisheries have supported
many families for generations. The
chief supply originally came from Sar-
dinia, whence they take their name,
but for a long- time they were mainly
caught on the coast of Brittany. Sar-
dines are unusually abmidant in French
waters this season, 4d the catch will
be larger than in au previous year. A
sardine fleet consis s of • vessels from
eight to ten tons eal, with a crew of
from eight to 12 pe ns, and goes six
to nine miles fron land. The bait,
consisting of eggs fish, cut up, is
scattered on the a er. The sardines
are taken with giU nets. A few are
salted on board, be the bulk are car-
ried on shore. Th ir heads are cut off,
and they are well ashed and sprinkled
with salt. After r$ring, they are ar-
ranged in frames, i 'almost perpendicu-
lar rows, and i Merged again and
again in the best o ve oil. • When suffi-
ciently cured the are packed in the
small tin boxes by women and achil-
dren, after which 4en fill the boxes up
with fresh oil and solder them tight..
The work is not co plete; however, for
before fit for the tae the fish require
cooking. To this en.1 they are placed
in a covered kettle and boiled. from half
an hOur, according o their size. After
drying, -labelling 44 placing in wood-
en cases they are ±edy for ehipment.
The American sar tie, or menhaden, is
taken in large qua tities on the coast of
New Jersey, and p tIup in oil.

Cut or G ound Hay„
In some places h y is cut into inch
and half-inch piece and then ground,
for the purpose of f eding cattle, 'horses,
&c., in the belief qf its adding to the
nutrition of the tfood. We always
doubted this theo , for the reason. that
bay fed in the usual manner performed
all the offices of nutrition, as it was
perfectly digested, aid there was no-
thing more to be aft 'lied. But, in cy-
der to maintain ou!r theory, we con-
sulted an old, c reful livery -stable
keeper, who had. many horses, and who,
in a long series of irears, studied the
profit and loss in thp yarious supplies
for his stock. He s id there was; no-
thing gained in fee eg cracked corn,
but on the contrar here was a loss in
the increased prio demanded. for it.
Also, -that cut hay « s a loss to the ex-
tent of the labor, vhich was by no
means a trifle. G d hay --and none
other should be fe is eaten up clean

he usually gave eace 'horse in the even-
ing a couple of ears qf corn in the nob,
and they were gr 4kly relished. His
horses were in the • st of health, hay-

How a Bird 'nod Its Nest.
i A Petersburg (V paper says: Some
tins.e last week Mn. William H. Wal -
ten, a farmer of Greenville county, was
Iteated on a fence n ar a stack of oats,
Watching the oper tions , of his field
hands, who were at work. While
seated on the fencea small bird alight-
ed on his shoulder 4d remained, there
until frightened awy by a blow aimed
at it by Mr. Walto4 It flew off but a
little way and ret ned to be treated, as
before, and repeate1 this feat until the
gentleman conchidtd to allow it to re-
main on his shoulder in order to ascer-
tain, if possible, what induced it to act
as described. The bird moved close up
to Mr. Walton's face and deliberately
commenced to pluck a mouthful of
gray hairs from his "heard, after which
it flew away to the oat stack and dis-
appeared in the c eyices between the
sheaves of oats.narainatiOn of the
stack disclosed the fact that the bird
was building its net and had used the
beard for the purP se of making a- lin-
ing for the same. ¶j1he bird is said to
have been of the W ein species.

Wonderful Longevity of a
H rpe.
At Rochester, ISta Y., there died. -on
the 12th of Septe er the oldest hrse
on record for it gre t number of years.
He was. the prop rty of the famous
Daniel D. Bell, of fhga1 as -well as gold
mine notoriety. Hei was known by the
name of " Gumbo, ' and in his day was
a noted stallion. any citizens remem-
ber the animal as splendid horse when
they were boys. At the time of his
death he had attai ed the ripe age of
45 years and six m nthe. He retain.ed
a remarkable vital ty to the last, and
for three-quarters f; an hour before his
demise, he stood pion his legs, proud
and. majestic, as i his younger days.
He had long been 1he property of . Bell,
who had driven Mint many thousands
of miles in his lifetine, he having own-
ed him a period Of twenty-seven years
and a half, since h was 18 years old.

A Gopd Hint
•)
If you want the strawberry bed that
has borne you a go, d crop one season -to
bear well the next I year, you must work
it out thoroughly, end manure well as
soon as It is thrOugh bearing. Don't
put it off until the bed. is filled with
weeds and gress. ,First plough or spade
the ground ,between the rows, cutting
the rows down nerrower ; then work
the rows out well , with a fork potato
digger and scatter in them a good quan-
tity of well -rotted isnanure. It is a good
plan to draw freshearth in among the
plants.

should be put into icold. water in sum-

break each one separately into a cup, to
