Bright Tuesday vs, Bine Monday.
The old song runs as follows :
It's thump, thunp, rub, rub, soold, soold
away;
There's naughtof pleasure in the house upon
the washing day,
This may havo been true in olden times
when the washing had to bo done in the
room that was dining -room, kitchen anti
laundry, and whore among manifold duties
the housewife herself bunt over a steaming
washtub.
It is severe labor at the best, but in those
dayo new inventions and contrivances, to-
gether with the housewife's skill and brain
work, have largely done away with its
drudgery and discomfort. Occasionally we
find women in the 'blit ruts" in this retard
mud if they thereby exhaust their strongth
they can only blame themselves for their
suicidal course, By "old ruts" is meant the
rubbing of clothes in two waters previous to
boiling 8nd rinsing in several waters there-
after.Manymoclornhonsescontainalaundry,
wherein this unpleasant work with its steam
0511 by kept from the living rooms. But
alas 1 many a farmer's wife must needs wash
where she lives. For there is 110 escape
from the foul steam unless she is willing to
try the suggestion herein set forth, a modus
aperandi I have found equally good iu sum-
mer as in winter ; for by this plan
no permanent hot fire is necessary. Instead
of "blue Monday," we'll call this "bright
Tuesday," since this is the better day. Mon-
day evening after tea haat the boiler fall of
water. In it out up all the small pieces of
soap that have been accumulated during
the week—small pieces left from hand and
dish -washing, oto. Plane the most soilol
pieces in the bottom of the tub, and when
filled take a teacup half full of gasrline—
use more if much soiled—pour it
over most soiled garments, then ins.
mediately cover with the hot suds, In the
morning after breakfast again heat a boiler
of water; add sufficient loot Nater to rub
out the clothes, which place iu another tub,
covering with hot water, It this water any
garment not yet clean can again 130 rubber).
Now rinse in a blue water, and the shining
whiteness of the clothing on the line will
surprise you. Any garment that you fear
will fade will Dome outof this gasoline suds
without )using a drop of color. 1 nd fian-
nols, which usually fade, w,ll not leave a
vestige of tint in the water. Do not date
to put a drop of gasoline in the boiler 08
the stere, for it is a clangorous practice, and
has resulted in death to careless or ignor-
ant people.
As some may prefer kerosene, I will give
an easy direction which has proved success.
ful. 1 have known fruit -stains that had
been boiled in the fabric to entirely disap-
pear by its use. Table linen is remarkably
free from stains where kerosene i0 employed
in washing.
For the washing of a family of six or
eight, shave in thin slices a bar of soap, add
a little soft water and boil till all dissolved ;
take from the fire and add four tablespoon-
fuls of kerosene, stirring till well mixed.
Placa over the fire a boiler two-thirds full
of soft water and add half of soap -mixture ;
now put into this oold suds tho finest clothes
that have soaked over night, as in former
(1180011011, without gasoline. When these
have scalded about twenty minutes remove
to sudoing water, add another pail of cold
water and the root of soap.mixture to boiler,
placing therein the rest of the oloahee.
When in oudsing tub the washboard clan be
used for the more soiled pieces, but sleets
and pillow.slipo will be found sufficiently
°lean without rnbbiug, hence the cloth Is
saved, as well as one's valuable strength.
Since learning this Iwill notallow a domes-
tic to rub my garments to pesos, though she
be unwilling to spare herself.

Antaeaharivo stands upon a long hill 000

they might be more easily defended, '1')01

pica where in kith hundreds of Malagasy
Chi-if:M1us were buried to death because
they refused to diouvnw their belief in
Christianity, Road making is very difficult
because the bare rock almost everywhere
comes to the 0nrlacc.
A silly law Wail once in force. Ne inlfld-
ing of stone or clay was permitted within
the limits of the town. The houses of the
nobles and wealthy people were of 10ae0lve
timber, roofed with wooden shinier: or
thatch. Fires, therefore, wore of froquent
occurrence, When the Queen and hor
Government accepted Christianity in 1506
this foolish law was repealed, and the old
tfnlbor houses have now almost wholly
d given place to etruoturoo of brick or steno,
The building art was revolutionized 0vien
✓ Mr. SJbree and other missionaries erected
, in stoo° the martyr memorial churches.
The city now contains several thousands of
good two and three story housoo and many
public buildings. The residences of some
of the wealthier people have spacious ver-
`,andas with pillars of (00011 eel brink or of
stone with carved capitals. Not a few
buildings are still unfinished, and an aspect
of neatness and tidiness is looking. Still,
when the visitor remetnbers that the pres-
ent town has been evolved from a heathen
settlement of straw and wattle he wonders
that the )lova people have made each pro-
gress.
Among the prominent buildings are the
royal palaces, the largest of which, a three-
story timber structure, is surrounded with
a great stone veranda and arches strength-
ened with cornet' towers. Then there is
the immense stone and brick palace of the
Primo Minister, who is also the Queen's
husband, and handsome residences of nobles
and high officers. Tho High Court of Jus-
tine is quite imposing with its Ionia columns,
and has the appearance of a Greek temple.
The spires or towers of the religious and
educational buildings are seen from a long
distance and add much to the beauty of the
city.
Thus the oapital of the Malagasy has be-
come a respectable oity. The missionaries
there and m other towns of the Hove, nation
are teaching 100,000 oh11118011 in their
schools, and it to these missionaries who
have wrought the wonderful change in
Madagascar. They have lifted a once ig-
norant and semi -barbarous people to the
position of an enlightened and Christian
nation. Nowhere in the world has the good
of missionary work been more strikingly
manifested than in hIadagasear,
The Government Inas never taken a
muses, but itir. Mibree and his friends have
counted the buildings iu the city and mads
inquiry as to the average number of oocn-
pants. They think the city contains about
100,000 inhabitants. There are often merry
strangers in the capital, as people coma
from all parts of the island on Government
business, bringing tribute to the Queen and
receiving orders from her. The name An-
tananarivo means "at the town of it thou-
sand." The city is the heart of Madagas-
car. Officers and soldiers aro sent from it
to garrison all the porta on tine coast and
important towns ut the interior. Every
wool thousands of books and periodicals are
distributed from Antananarivo all over to
country. Hero native doctors, surgeons,
nurses, schoolmasters and evangelists are
taught and then sent away to other parts of
the kingdom to carryon the good works the
white man has brought into the groat island.
Two Artioles we Can Hardly do With,
out.
Matches and pins being among the most
common things in daily use, it is seldom
that any thought is bestowed upon them.
Matches that are ignited by friction were
first made in 18020, before which time they
were made to catch fire from a spark struelt
from flint or steel—a very inconvenient
method.
It is hard to say how Many millions of
matches aro made m a Clay ; but when the
number of people that use them is reckoned
the total is appalling.
Probably In London alone over 20,000,-
000 mate110e are used every twenty-four
hours.
But matches aro such little things the
nobody ever seams to think of them
From an ordinary 3 -inch plank 1.50,000
thatches may be mode, yet oven at that rata
the hunber used in the ntatoh business at-
tains enormous proportions,
Pins are mentioned an far back as 1.153,
but net until the beginning of this century
were they manufactured by machinery.
.21.e old way of malting oaoh pin by hand
must have been vary tedious, and it is not
likely that people wore s0 earoloss with
then then, as they were muoh more expen-
sive than now.
Ib has often boon wondered what becomes
of the pima that are lost, but it is hard to
010y,
There are fourteen distinct operations in
malting a pin, and lots of trouble 10tt10ohed
to the process, Pins are made of brass, and
than Ihinuod and blanched, and millions of
tem are manufactured daily.
A0 a pin can be used more than once, the
number used does not equal that of matches,
still miles upon miles of wire aro used an-
nually in their ntanufaotnre.
Like matches, they aro little things and
not much tlougllt of ; but when yet hood a
pin or a ivatah, and there is none to bo
found, than you realise what an important
part they play in daily life.

accomplish the distance in less tame? The
ai(11,111e11 was by no means one for trilling,
\Ylon 1 had ridden a couple of miles or so 1
ventured to glance back, the result being
the instmlLtneous conviction that wolves
can travel faster than a bicycle. The brutes
had gained upon me. They had gained a
hundred yards at least. At this rate I
quiokly calculated they would pull mo down
just about two utiles before I could reach
my dostivation and city of refuge, Lao'rik,
unless, indeed, they could not keep up the
pane, which 1 flattered myself was rather
hot.
Another two miles and another peep be-
hind me. Tho wolves were barely 200 yards
away now, and coining along as though they
enjoyed it. I could swear that the leading
wolf linked his lips as he saw me look
around, 1 tried a spurt. The road was as
level as a billiard table, and I strained every
nerve to tloe utmost. and
even as I did so
it was borne in upon me that spurting would
not do. I most slacken off at once, for I
could never keep up the terrific rate at
which I was now traveling. In fact, I must
economize all my staying powers in order to
last out the distanoe at oven my former rate
of progression. Then, suddenly, an idea
occurred to me. I would ring my bellloud-
ly and continuously, and see what olfeet
this would produce. I pressed the gong,
and turned round to observe whether the
sound would cheek my pursuers. Tho effect
1100 instantaneous. No sooner did the first
clang of the gong ring out than the wolves—
every one of them—stopped dead and dis-
appeared behind the trees, I gave a yell
of defiance and delight, and dashed on,
ringing away for dear life. But my triumph
was short-lived. On looking back a few
moments after I found that my foes were
again in full pursuit, However, I had gain-
ed a little.
On we flew, my gong sounding harsh and
strident in the silence of the forest. It was
magnificent; at least it would have been if
tt had not been so horribly dangerous.
Thera was a rut trodden by horses running
all along the vary middle of the road. I
avoided this and rode at tits side, which
was smooth, for the runners of the light
sledges do not as a rule WORD the snow. It
was easy enough, of oonrse, to avoid the
rut when riding straight ahead, but while
looking round there was the danger of my
front wheel slipping into it and either
checking the way of the ma0hine or even
causing a eap:izo, I ]aril just turned lny
head to look round upon my pursuers fon'
the ttvellh tine—alas 1 they were still gain-
ing, and werenow within fifty yards. Hear-
ing a loud clatter in front of ono I turned
back again tone what new danger threat-
ened me from that direction. In thus twist-
ing back and round again I allowed my front
wheel to go out of the direct line. The next
instant I was in the rat, and before 1 bad
time to see what was happening was, with
my trusty bicycle, buried a couple of
feet deep in the snow at the aid a of the
road. I gave myself up for lost. All this
did not take long to happen, and as I
emerged from the snow I was in time to see
two things. The first object which met my
gaze was a magnificent bull elk, followed by
tour smaller ones, just in the aot of trotting
across the road, not ten yards from me,
striding through the snow at a long trot,
their heads well raised and resting back on
their shoulders, Tho other object was the
little pack of wolves. Scarcely fifty yards
behind me when I upset, those were upon
me in a moment, and I had barely time to
seize the heavy spanner of any machine
and pub my back to a tree when, to my de-
light, the wolves—thea but Oso yards from
mo—priolted up their ears, passed me litre
a flash of greased lightning, and darted
away in pursuit of the alk. I picked up
my bicycle, and, to put it mildly, rode away
with all speed. I think I rode those three
miles in "record time ;" anyhow, it was fif-
teen minutes less that two )hours from the
start whoa I sonddotl into Lavrtk, and if I
had not ridden twenty -Dight miles I must
have done very near it.

As a euro for every class of Nervous Diseases, 120 remedy has been
able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and
harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most
delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human
family is heir aro dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges-
tion. 1Whcu there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a
general state of debility of the. brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the
result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the
right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses incl ailments
disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all
the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the
first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con-
tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair
the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves.
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied.
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the
essential elements out of 'which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts
for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de-
rangement.

My daughter, eleven years old, was severely afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance
or Chorea. We gave her three and one-half bottles of South American Ner-
vine and she is completely restored. I believe it will cure every ease of St.
Vitus' Dance, I have kept it in my family for two years, and am sure it is
the greatest remedy in the world for Indiggeestion and Dyspepsia, and for all
forms of Nervous Disorders and Failing Health, from whatever cause.
