ZOUSEHOLD,
Children of .1.11—e- Household.
aaacniNa =ED& Tlilf CARE OF c33AMBERS axe
moTnine,
"Be sure and ahut the clefs* dem before
you stir the beds," was the charge eur
mother called after us when he. heard the
warped bank stairs creaking under our boa-
ering stops as we were sent to put in order
the chamber e of the wide old farm -house
that was our childhood's home. A full
quarter of a eentury has swung past eine°
then and we now are trying to teach otir
ownlittle girls the wise counsels we some-
times so unwillingly heard from our mother.
If every housekeeper would inaist that the
000upanta of her sleeping apartments,—
children,help, boarders and visitors,—
shouldair their beds and throw open win-
dows each morning before leaving their
room,unless beating storms made this im-
practicable; we should have leas ailments of
lungs and. liver and. nerves in our midst. To
breathe, night after night, unclean, vitiated
air' is enough to poison and disease the
soundeat lungs and undermine the strongest
constitution created.
Children, unleea weakened and undone by
unwise cosseting, love pure, bracing air, and
we find it ashy to teach them to toss back
blankets and quilts after rising and to re.
niernber to throw open the windows of, their
chamber but it is not so easy for an adult,
who has lived and slept in an heated atmo-
.
sphere heavy with, impurities till he shrinks
waves, to adopt the rules or requests of the
house.
When a housewife has a crew of farm-
hands or workpeople to board, to make sure
of well ventilated chambers, it is generally
necessary to go through the sleeping•rooms
ea5h morning as soon as the help is out, air-
ing beds, closets and opening windows.
But teach yenr girls to close all closet
and chamber doors before commencing to
make beds and to put rooms in order, else
dust and lint will puff and settle over gar -
menta in closets and needless litter in hallways
and landings. Maybe half their wardrobe
is not neatlylianginginsmootbawell shaken
folds on their hooka, but is lying in tumbled
heaps on the closet floor, °rushed under
shelves along with blacking breehes and
•lathered -lipped shaving mugs, or scattered
about the chember, rumpled, dusty, creased,
hopelessly injured with their slovenly. care.
And other wardrobes than those of ,the
men folks quickly grow shabby because of
shiftless care taking. We have seen dainty'
suits the work of painstaken, loving mother
hands grimed with dust and crumpled with
wear and their last toss and fl3p on to chair
-
back or foot.board, their pretty ruffles and
plaits spoiled with crushing. We have
seen elegant wraps and velvet and lace -
trimmed garments swinging, "right side
out," on a closet hook or 011 a jagged headed
nail in the chamber wall, caught some
point of the rich drapery when heedlessly
flung hook -ward, a muddy gossamer brush.
ing their cliniing folds and carefully laid
plaits and delicate ruohings ruined with
their deep creasiogs and gray siftings of
dust and lint. Nowhere does slovenliness
so quickly tell of itself as in the shabby
wrinkles and crumpled folds of a lady's
wardrobe. Our little girls and boys should
early be taught habits of neatness and
method, that they may not beleftto form such
undesirable traits of character. It is easier
• for a child of seven than one of seventeen to
learn to take proper care of her clothing.
Our little daughters of six and seven years
can readily learn to keep their corner of
•mamma's closet in the nicest order.
With careful and constant example and
now and then a •warm word of * approval
these little home makers of the next gener-
ation soon take healthy pride in keeping
their dainty dresses and wraps neatly shaken
out, turned on their linings and carefully
hung or folded away from clinging lint and
sifting dust. Give them pretty boxes for
heir prized lace,trimmed aprons and dainty
collars and bonnets ; an elaborately em
broidered ahoe bag for the smart little
button boots and leggings, and these little
folks soon learned to delight in keeping
their corner of naamraa's wardrobe in neatest
order. •
Certain of the fraudulent say that leaving
milk pans open until the milk gete cold will
remove the taste ot onion from milk. It
dues nothing of the sort. The only thing
that removes the taste ie to keep the outwit]
or.garlie away from the cows. Once inmilk,
it IS there to stay.
Another fraud is the statement that wash-
ing rancid butter in buttermilk will make it
tweet again. It doesn't help it one par-
ticle I Rancid butter has undergone tiers
tabs chemical changee and cannot he meter-
ed to it a normal state. There is a German
method of preparing " stroee " butter so
that it it can be used in cooking, but once
rancid or even lathe edge thereof, it is past
table use.
Still another inipdsition ie the story that
when eggs are "‘flat " and won't beat up
light, a pinch of sode. will make them beat.
It doesn't do it., A stale egg cannot be re-
stored any niore than sour milk can be made
new or rancid butter fresh.
The age of miracles ifeover, and only mira-
culous power can arrest decay and restore
disorganization to its original order. Stop-
ping to reason out the rationale of things
would save a vast deal of time that is wasted
in trying experiments because somebody
f‘ said so."
I spoke of linm water in connection with
milk bottles. Ordinarily people btiy lime
water of a druggist and pay a good price
for it. For years I have made all I can use
and give away, at a merely nominal cost
and trouble. • Get ten cents' worth of build-
ers' lime, (simply unslacked lime it is,) put
it in an open bowl, and pour in by degrees
and shivers in currents ot fresh, breezy aar earring the lime au the time, two quarts of
water. When it stops smoking, stir it all
well together and pour it into a glass jar,
or a jug or what 'you please. I always use
a glass fruit jar ao I oan see ineo it. When
the lime settles at the bottom, put a funnel
in an empty bottle and put a thiok cloth,
a damask table napkin, or good sheet of soft
paper in the funnel ani pour all the water
off of the lime into as many bottles as you
choose to fill, then fill the Jar with water,
stir up the lime well from the bottorn and
set it by until you want some more of it.
As you use oft the water refill the jar until
all the alkaline property of the lime is ex-
hausted. Ten cents' worth of lime lasted
me for three years using it as freely as I
pleased for all aorts of things. It saved an
immense deal of money that would have
gone to the druggist, and the lime water
was just as good.
What Will and What Won't.
I am often amazed at the things publish -
by some so-called housekeepers and war-
ranted to do thus and so; when by actual
test and experiment they do nothing of the
sort I Now I contend that the same process
/sill produce the same result the world
over; and therefore when Mrs. Such -an -
One says that sweet milk will have precise-
ly the same effect as soap in washing dishes,
when I undertake to wash dishes with a
few spoonfuls of sweet milk poured in the
water," I ought to find that the milk has
been an efficient substitute for the soap.
• But when on economy bent, I flew to the
milk pitcher to save the soap bill, the net
result was a distinct necessity for another
dish washing with soap, for the milk wasn't
worth a picayune as a cleaner. So many
things are written in this same way and the
restiltfs just the exposure of a fraud.
If your griddle gets rough when you are
frying batter cakes take a raw turnip and
slice off the end, and rub th,e griddle all
over with it, and it will be as smooth as
glass.

There is nothing better for cleaning steel
knives than a raw Irish potato, dipped in
fine brick dust. Cut off a slice of the po-
tato so as to leave a raw surface, dip it in
finely beaten brickdust, and rub the knives
until they look bright and clean. It does
not wear out and break the ends of the
blades, and requires no strength at all.

Oyster Life.
lawriter in Murray's Magazine says that
he wishes it were possible to tempb all his
readers 'into examining an oyster, not after
disaection, but merely by turning its parte
over with a toothpick, and endeavoring to
make out as much of its structure as may
without difficulty be seen. For, insignifi-
cant as he may seem, the oyster has a very
complex organzation. "1 suppose," said
Professor Huxley, "that when this slippery
mo sel glides along the palate, few people
ima ine that they are swallowing a piece of
maohinery far more complicated than a
watch.'
Frank Buckland, the naturalist, who
seemed to love as well as observe the most
uninviting specimens of nature's handiwork,
used to declare that oysters, like horses,
have their points.
"The points of an oyster," he says, "are
first the shape, which should resemble the
petal of a rose -leaf. Next, the thickness of
the shell ; a thoroughbred should have a shell
like thin china. It should also possess an
alinost metallic ring, and a peculiar opales-
cent lustre on the inner aide. The hollow
for the animal should resemble an egg-oup,
:led the flesh should be firinewhite, said nut
like."
There may be a good deal of poetry in
this description but it ia nevertheless true
that an intimate acquaintance with an oys-
ter will surely inspire one with an added re-
spect and admiration for the little creature.
During the summer months, oysters be-
come "sick," and are then ont of season.
But if 8- siok oyster be examined under the
microecope, it will be found to contain a
slimy substance, which first white and then
colored, is composed of little eggs. It is
said that the number furnished by a single
varies from eight hundred and twenty-nine
to two hundred and seventy-six thousard.
On some fine hot day, the mother oyster
opens her shelf' and the little ones escape
from it, like a cloud of smoke. They are
provided with swimming organs composed
of delicate cillise and by means of these
they enjoy for a few days an active exis-
tence. As middle -age creeps upon them,
they become -fixed and stationary, and very
soon might reasonably be expected to declare
like the wise oyster of the poem, that they
" Do not oboes°
To leave, the oyster bed."
The oyster's food consists of such minute
organisms as float freely in the water, a con-
stant current made by tiny hairs, sweeping
unsuspecting minutite into its slit. like mouth.
It does not lead an untroubled existence.
Sponges tunnel in its shell, dog-welks bore
lieat holes in it, and suck its juices, and the
star -fish waits for it to gape, and then in -
subs an insinuating finger in its home.
But the young oyster is exposed to still
greeter dangers during this period of active
life. It is exceedingly cenaitive to cold,
and yields readily to an inclement season.
it is a savory morsel, and likely to be snap-
ped up by some marine monster, and when
it would fain settle down, a current is like-
ly to sweep it to some unfavorable spot,
where it may choke in attempting to find a
safe location.
A.RiveZiollar Note.
It was a very ragged note, with, a bit of
paper pasted aCrOSS the oorner on whit* the
V was printed to keep it from tearing off.
It was stuffed, WW1 et roll of large bible,
into a dainty puree of eilver network. A
young girl, much over -dressed, who carried
the purse, evidently valued the note but little.
She hal otopped at a counter in the shop, on
whiCh satin calendar's were displayed.
"Look at thie lovely thing, Belle," she
said to her empanion. "Only five dollars!
It's awfully pretty 11 umet have it."
" What will you do with it ? '
• "Oh, I don't know I Give it to Jane.
I ought to send her something on her birth-
day, and it's really too pretty to leave be-
hind."
She threw down the note on the counter,
and passed on. Jane received the dainty
trifle the next morning. She,too, was a
young girl, over -dressed in satin and jewels,
her purse, perhaps, fuller of notes than that of
the donor.
"Dear me I What did.she send me that
trumperything for? I gave her a pearl pin
last year,, ' was her ornament. The calendar
was toned on a chair'and soon after swept
into the waste -basket.
The torn old note was given in change
to the middle-aged, staid mother of a family.
That night, while going over her accounts
shelaid it aside. I cannot afford to give
SO much ik charity, "she said. "I will
give it to the committee who send poor
children out to the country in the Bummer,"
The note ivas need to send Benny and his
mother up to the mountains. Benny was a
two.year.old baby, the only son of John
Wolford, the carpenter. John had fallen
from a scaffolding in the spring ,and broken
his leg, and it had takenevery penny of his
savings to pay,the doctors, and keep them
from starving. When the terrible August
heats came, and the baby, who was teething,
sank day by day, John knew that only change
of air woula save its life. it was their
only, child, and they loved it better than
anything on earth, But John was still in
the hospital, and he had not a dollar.
"What can we do?" his wife cried.
"Do? Do what thousands of other poor
Wretches are doing,—see the child die for
want of a little money!" he replied, savagely.
"It's a heartless world!"
But it is not altogether heartless. The
ragged old note, given by a kindly hand,
sent' Benny and Isis mother to a sunny
farm -house among the hills, where a friendly
old Quaker and his wife fed them, and
petted them and made much of them, and
sent the baby back with red, chubby cheeks
and his necther with a happier heart than
she had known for years.
The old note had plenty of work to do be-
fore it was worn out. It gave a bright -
faced, honest boy a bottle of whisky, on
which he made his drat carouse ; it paid
for e bunch of roses n hash Bella wore on
the street for half an hour,and then threw
into the gutter : it was given as over -pay
by a wise woman to a poor seamstress'who
had served her long and faithfully. With
the unexpected gift she bought a warm
jacket, which she had long needed, and con -
geared a weakness of the lungs that would
have soon robbed her little children of their
mother.
It would be impossible to tell alathe work
of ithat old gray bill, or of the other notes
which fill the purses of our readers. They
are in appearance as worthless as the old
lamp whiob Aladdin carried, but, like it,
they are powerfulgenii, which, as we use
them, scatter blessing or bale, life or death.
How shall we use them?
Icelandic Emigrants.
Over 700 colonists from Iceland will arrive
in..Manitoba, this mutts, driven from their
northern homes by the excessively hard con-
ditions of life innorth Iceland. We are apt
to think of Iceland as a rather small and
unimportant island, though the fact is that it
is over three-fourths the size of New York
Ste.teaand a considerable part of the north-
west coast is still imperfectly known, having
never yet been explored by a soientific travel-
ler. Mr. Thoroddsen, the geologist, who
visited northwest Iceland lase year says the
farms lie high above sea level, and that as
there are no highways through the terribly
rough country to the southern settlements,
the inhabitants are almost completely cut
off from the world,1 except during the two
or three months when the ice may move off
the coast, giving passageway to ships.
These farmers, who have often had little in
their larders except the birds they have
caught, will probably imagine they have
found an Elysium at last when they see the
-wheat fields of Manitoba.
A house is no home unless it contains
food and fire, for the mind as well as
the body.

The Children's Age.
This is pre-eminently the children's golden
age. 'Up to within a comparatively recent
period the child was a neglected creature.
He was Wight that he was of no importance,
and only allowed to live by sufferanoe. He
was snubbed, bullied, flogged for the slight-
est offences, His:little desires were thought-
, lessly deined. lie lived in A state of perpet-
I ual represeion. He was told that the child -
ten were to be seen, not heard, and were

But what great revolution has been I

The Subsidence of Mountains. ,
Aocording to La Gazette Geographique t e
Cordillera of the Andes are gradually sin -
ing. In 1745 the city of Quito was 9,596
feet above sea level, in 18t3 it was only
9 570; in 1831, 9,567, and scarcely 9,520 in
1867. This amounts to a lowering of seven-
ty-six feet in 122 years, or at the rate of
&belle seven and a half inches_ per annum.
We are also told that the farm of Antisana
has sunk 154 feet in eixty-four years, or
more than two and a half feet per annum.
This is the highest inhabited spot on the
Andes— about 1,0.;0 feet higher than Quito,
the highest city on the globe. The peak of
Pichincha was, according to the -same autho-
rity, 218 feee lower in 1867 than in 1745, a
sinking of nearly two feet per annum. Assum-
ing the acouracy of these figures, they pre-
sent a curious geological eroblem, especially
as there is no record of a corresponding
change at sea level or at the foot of these
same mountains, which demand rather steep-
ly to the Pacific. If the plasticity or viscos-
ity of the earth's crust be such as ihuve con-
tended in this mage zine, it follows almost of
necessity that such a mass of mountain land
as that in this region of Quito and Chirabor-
nee muet be squeezing itself downward in-
to the subcruet of the globe by its own enor-
mous weigha Although the Ingheet of these
'leaks are not quite so high as the highest of
the Himalayas, the concentration of eleva-
tion in agiven ares,or, otherwise stated, the
mass standing above see level in proporti:n
to the base on which it stands, is greeter
, than can be found in any other pert of the
world, and its downthruet is similarly pre -
1 eminent. Sech clown squeezIng and sinking
must be accompanied 'with eorrespouding
lateral thrust, or elbowing that should pro-
duce earthquake disturbances on every side.
The facts. fully satisfy this requirement of
the theory, as the country all around the
region in question is the very fatherland of
terrible earthquakes.
Confession of a fault makes half amends.
Denying a, fault cloubles it.
