Household Conveniences. .
I have often thought that of 11.11 incon-
venient things for a house ie the usual kit-
chen table of the trade. And expeusive,
too. It is too short ; the one little poky
drawer in it of no aottour.t. There is always
a joining of the boards which in a little
while shrink away, and when the top is
scrubbed 'the water goes down into the
drawer' and wets everything there. The
New York Times suggests a good idea for
one, that of covering the top with tin. I
should think this a good plan: Fit a sheet
of tin to the top and perforate with holes for
putting it on; then around this I should
want a molding, to keep the water from
going down to the floor. This would do
away with a great deal of aggravation, as
it would be easier to care for thaai a wood
top.
The following idea, for a sewing -room,
which we take from the New York Tribune,
ought to be in every house. The time and
patience wasted hunting the scissors; a par-
ticular spool of thread, a button, etc,, will
never be known:
"The convenience of a special room for
sewing can hardly be overrated: It saves
many weary steps in hunting for thread,
thimble, etc., and saves the family sitting
room from being a resting place for the sew-
ing. Such a room, described by a corres-
pondent, is 8 feet by 12 feet, with two win-
dows and a small closet. In front of one
window stands the sewing machine, which
has one end of its cover cushioned to use as
a foot -stool. On the right is a row of foot -
wide shelves running almost the width of
the room. These held all the sewing pare-
phrenalia in boxes, having the _projecting
ends labeled. -They can be read from the
sewer's seat at the machine, and are within
eaay reacb. Patterns, left -over pieces, but-
tonsatrimmings, etc., all have boxes and are
kept in them. Below the shelves is a low -
cutting -table always ready for use. A sew-
ing chair without arms, and having short
rockers, is handy, and a straight chair for
machine use. In one corner is a dress form,
and in the opposite corner is a long, narrow
mirrer'which shows the effect when fitting
on theform. By the door three hooks are
screwed, from which hang a well-filled pin-
cushion, pattern-boek, and slate and pencil
.—
On the slate goes every want of the family
in the sewing linelas it is thought of. The
cost of fitting Uptench a room is small, as
the window has a buff blind, and a rug for
the feet is the only floor covering; but the
convenience and comfort of ouch a place is
unbounded."
' THE BREAD-KNIFE.—Another untold an-
noyance to everyone who does the carving
is to know the caaving.knife has been taken
to out bread. We beoame the happy pos-
sessor of a knife for this purpose not long
ago, which is beyond question, the }liaise -
keeper's friend. It is light, of good shape
to hold, and with a saw -like blade which
will cut hot bread, thin bread, any kind of
bread beautifully, and the edge keeps sharp,
There are three in the set, the bread -knife,
one for cake, and a paring knife, all for one
dollar.
I'd save that dollar some way to have it,
if I hadn't one.

thing else.

The Wrong Man.
Cases of mistaken identity often make the
most awkward complications. Seldom would
a blunder of this kind result in so hermlese
an interview as this:
Lord Seaforth, who was born deaf and
dumb, was to dine one day with Lord Mel-
ville.
Just before the time for the company's ar-
rival Lady Melville sent into tho drawing -
room a lady Of her acquaintance, who could
talk with her fingers to dumb people, that
she might receive Lord Seaforth.
Presently Lord Guildford entered the
room, and the lady, taking him for Lord
Seeforth, began to ply her fingers very nim-
bly ; Guildford did the same, and they had
been carrying on a conversation in this man-
ner for about ten minutes when Lady Mel-
ville joined them.
Her female friend said :
" Well, I've been talking away to this
dumb man."
" Dumb !" cried Lord Guildford; "bless
me, I thought you were dumb !"

Not a Statesman.
A ca 101 but rather unexpected definition
was once received by a "school-cOmmittee
man."
A captain who was one of the school -board
in a 'New England seaport town was visit-
ing the sehool one afternoon, and heard the
t
class r ad from Webster's address at Ply-
mouth !
" W o was'Webster ?" asked the captain,
' "A litatesman," said one boy.
"An orator;" said another.
" Bet, what is a statesman ?" asked the
oap,tairi.
' A I man who goes around making
sp?echas," answered a small boy.
' That's not just exactly right," said the
captain, smiling. "Now, I go around mak-
ing speeches once in a while, but I'in not a
statesMan et all." 1
"T know what a statesman is," spoke up
a bright little fellow. " It's a manwho
goes arbund makins good speeches."

Good Tools.
.,BY ANNA BARROWS, IN CHRISTIAN DNIO-N.
An observing woman having access to the
kitchens of her friends cannot fail to notice
their scanty outfits, and this is the case not
alone in the houses of those of moderate
circumatances, Many housekeepers say,
with soine reason, that their servants will
not tattle proper care of the utensils provid-
ed, or will not try to use a new article even
though it may save labor in the end; but
such reasoning applied in all directions
would Carry us back to barbarism.
Is it aot better to so fit up our kitchens
that mOre intelligent women will be attract-
ed to them ? ,
A mechanic knows that the quality of his
work depends upon his tools, though a skill-
ed workman may do better work with poor
Oohs than a beginner oan do with the best;
yet with poor steel and dulled edges even
trained handa cannot give a proper finish to
the work.
A bright young woman, the daughter of a
clergyman, after a special course at the
cooking -school, earned her pin -money by
arraogieg lunch -parties for ladies who could
not treat their own cooks to prepare the
extra dishes and yet could not afford to em-
ploy a professional caterer. She would go
beforehand to help plan the menu, find
on the appointed day would be there in sea-
son to Make a delicate soup or salad, an en-
tree, and then arrange the table and nee that
each course was properly served.
A feet trials showed her that it was neces-
sary to take smile of the commonest utensils
with he, and thereafter on these occasions
her hand -bag always contained, a !harp
knife, a strainer, or an egg -beater. ,
"A sergeon might as well attempt to
make ati incision with a pair of sheers or
open a vein with an oyster -knife, as al cook
pretend to dress a dinner without proper
tools." '
The kitchen has as many departments of
work as the farm, and calls for as many difs
ferent tools. Few farmers of to -day do
without some of the elaborate labor-saving
machines, and even rake and spade must be
of the best quality and be kept in good re-
pair, or the work will suffer.
Aside from the sook-stove, kitchen uten-
sils cost lees than corresponding implements
for farm work, and every farmer's wife
should ihsist upon anew article for her do-
main whenever one is purchased for the
masculiee kingdom,
The Woman who does her own work should
have every convenience for it.
Every kitchen should be supplied with a
first-claes range, an oil -stove, a steam -cook-
er, a Meat -chopper, a fruit -press, a food -
whip, flour sieve, etc., etc.
More than any other room of the house is
the kitchen shrouded in the superstitions of
past ages, end some of the utensils still used
mi hathave been excavated from Pompeiian
ruins. In many kitchens there are pans and
kettles which have seen daily service through
several generations.
Much might be said of the false economy
of using pans with rags run through the
holes to prevent leaking; rough saucepans
in which everything sticks and burns ; oily
earthenware whieli flavors any food cooked
in it; heavy iron kettles, the weight of
which exhausts the housekeeper more than
an °atm hour's work.
Woman is usually considered the weaker
sex, but any one who has served an appren-
ticeehip in the use of iron kettles is compe-
tent to handle fire -arms. Agate -ware ie not
only much lighter, but does not injure the
flavor of food.
When fitting up a kitchen- closet, choose
sets of saticepans and sets of bowl.; it is
not desirable to have to stop and wash a
dieh in the midst of preparation of a meal.
Arrange these dishes in convenient places,
and many unnecesaary steps will be saved.
Table and shelves should be suited to
the height of the person who in to work over
them.
Proper fuel might also be included in our
list of good tools—for well -cooked food is
impossible without it.
A small table on casters, so it can be roll-
ed about the kitchen, is very helpful; it
may stand by the stove when griddle -cakes
are being fried, or bythe sink with a load
of dishes.
But the greatest helps in the kitchen are
not the most costly. Some women use two
cutters for every doughnut, a tin box and a
pepper -box cover, when a single motion
with a ten -cent outter would do the work.
Out fingers Often come from the lack of a
25 -cent can opener. No article is more use-
ful in a kitchen than a small scrubbing -
brush, or, better, several of them; for
cleaning vegetables they are unequalled,
and In dish -washing often do better work
than a chain dishcloth or sapolio.
A single dollar will purchase two tin
measuring -cups holding onedialf pint each—
One divided into fourths, one into thirds—a
long fork to nave hands from steam, some
cutters, scrubbing brushoff, a can-opener,and
a strainer.
Let none of us, then, be penny-wise and
pound-foolish in regard to kitchen tools,
but strive to advance our home interests by
demanding constant improvement from
manufacturers,
A Hopeless Minority.
A well known Congregational minister
was one day preaching as usual,when a half -
intoxicated soldier strolled in, and having
secured a seat, sank into it and was soou
fast asleep.
The preacher, in the course of his sermon,
declared that all men intended to reform in
the future, however' careless they might be
in the present, and, wishing to drive home
the point he was making, he asked all of his
congregation who hoped to go to heaven to
stand.
The whole congregation, with that excep-
tion of the sleeping soldier, imntediately
arose.
" Now," continued the minister, 't
those who intend to go to the everlasting
punishment rise ?"
Rio request was so far complied with that
all his hearers resumed their goats.
The soldier, who had been sufficiently
awakened by the first movement to under-
stand that something unusual was going on,
now staggered to his feet, •
The people gazed at him with horrified
wonderment. while he, looking round with
tipsy gravity, at length leaned forward and
addressed the minister :
"Well, parson, I don't quite know what
subject we are Voting on, but you and I seem
to be in o hopeless minority."
Bible Triumphs in Mexico.
A stirring story of Bible conflict is given
in the Bible Society Reporter from a col-
porteur in Mexico,which illustrates the dif-
ficulties that lie in the way of -our work of
French Evangelization. As is wellaknown,
one of the great obstacles in this Work, is
the prejudice that exists with regard to
Protestants, their life, their religion and
their Bible, and when once this prejudice is
broken down, and their false ideas Of Pro-
testantism dispelled, the Bible, satisfying
as it does the longings of the hungry human
heart, will surely win its own way. The
colporteur was in a town on the border of
Guatemala. He says:
In the week devoted to the worship of
the Virgin Dolores, the clergy of Tuxtla
Chico had announced my coming in the
usual way: "A Protestant bishop is com-
ing with a book called the Holy Bible,
which is false and evil, as it speaks against
the Pope, the Virgin, the saints, Christ, the
auras and our religion. This book must not
be bought; you must 'run' that man out of
town or the penalty is excommunion.' "
As usual, the man with whom lodged,
asked me to "go," for fear of an attack on
his house.
It was not long before a group of sixty
• people gathered about the house, threaten-
ing to beat me and cast me out of the
town. I was quite lame and could not
escape. White I was praying for help, they
held council, and then eight men entered
the courtyard and ordered my immediate
departure.
But noticing arriong the eight, one of ven-
erable aspect, of sixty years, at least, the
leader, I addressed him " I am sorry, my
good friend, that you have been deceived in
regard to the character of the book that I
bring. This book conteins the truth of
God in its purity. If there is one here who
can read, let him examine it; if it is as
bad as you are told it is, wo will burn it
and I will go." This seemed fair to the

old man, and he called to Richard, his
nephew, saying, "It is only just that we
should read the book first." A .young man
of eighteen came forward, took the book,
and read correctly and with clear voice
from the first chapter 9f Luke.
The crowd without, hearing him, pressed
into the courtyard, a hundred people or
more, all giving respectful attention when
they saw one Of their number reading.
When he reached the forty-second verse, a
voice cried, "But that is not the book of
which the aura spoke." I answered that it
was the only book that I came to offer
them the various sizes being due to the
size Of the letter, and that they had been
misinformed regarding the book, doubtless
to keep them in ignorance of the real sim-
plicity of the Christian goapel. They
seemed to be drawn towards the book, and
when the young man stopped reeding again,
I began to read and recommend the Bible,
and continued for an hour.
Richard bought the first itible the one he
had read from, and I sold ten large Bibles
and a number of small ones, then and thera,
and we talked of the Bible till ten o'clock
at night. Some of the more enthusiastic)
proposed that 'should hold a public dis-
cussion with the curs, on Sunday, the 3d of
April. I prepared and waited; but before
the hour arrived, I learned that the cure,
had gone suddenly to Zapachula. The
gosoel triumphed again!
Dishonest Men Value Honesty.
A young man came one day with a case of
conscience. He was corresponding clerk in
flourithing house of business. His em-
ployer had begun to direct him to write let-
ters to customers containing statements
which he knew to be false. He had object-
ed and they said:
" We are responsible for these statements;
it is nothing to you whether they are true
or false."
I said to him, "Do they sign the let-
ters or ask you to write them in your own
name ?"
As soon as the question had left, my lips I
saw that, if there was a difference, both
would be wrong, and I hastened to tell him
so. He said : "1 have to sign them with
my name, pro Blank."
I said, Your case is perfectly clear ;
you must decline to do it."
He said," Then I shall be dismissed ;"
and, after a pauee, "I have a wife and
family."
I met him some days after.
"Well, Mr. —," said I, "how are
you getting on now ?"
He replied, "1 am still in my situation ;
I had an interview with the partners, and I
told them I would not write letters I knew
to be untrue; they wore very angry, and I
expected to receive notice, but 1 have not
received it yet."
Months pasaed, and be remained in his
situation. After awhile he called on me,
and I saw by his face that somethhat had
happened.
" Well, Mr. ," I said, "have you
had your dismissal ?"
No," he taid, "I have not," and
smiled.
" What then ?"
"A very -confidential poet in their ser-
vice, with a higher salary, has fallen vacant,
and they have put me into it,"
On eecond thought, these unprincipled
men had come to the conclusion that a clerk
who would not deceive a customer worild
not deceive them, and was too valuable to
be lost.

A Cure for Diphtheria.
There is a good deal of diphtheria in dif-
ferent parts of the country, and the follow-
ing receipt given by the Scientific American,
and said to he always effieacioue, should be
preserved : At first indication of diphtheria
in the throat of a child, make the room
close,then take in a tin cup,a quantity of tar
and turpentine, equal parts. Then hold the
cup over the fire, so as to -fill the air with
the fumes. The little patient, on inhaling
the fumes, will cough and spit out all the
membranous matter and the diphtheria will
page out. The fumes of the tar and turpen-
tine loosen the matter in the throat, and
thus afford the relief that has baffled the
skill of the physician.

While we are yet in the middle of Summer, and the weather is very warm,
it may seem quite out of place to make any mention of Fall and Winter Dry
Goods. Many may not even be thinking of buying and preparing for the
coming colder seasons, but we would remind all of the cooler season fast ap-
proaching, and'that we are making preparations for the demand that must be
made for heavier wearing apparel. Already we are in receipt of a number of
lines of NEW FALL AND WINTER GOODS, such as will be required
for early Fall use.

It is very important in this age of vest
material progress that a remedy be pleasing

ceptable to the stomach and healthy in its

They Don't Know What's Wrong.
BRAMPTQN, A11412bt 21.--A good many people in
these da.)s are evidently ignorant of what ails them.
They use remedies for dropsy, rheumatism, sciatica
or grime such disease, and after a time find out that
disordered kidneys caused all the trouble. Here are
some instances. James Crisp, a telegraph operator
• of this place,suffered from dyepepsia for a long time,
and could not find a remedy that would relieve him
until he found Dodd's kidneys pills. They cured
him, as the primary cause of his dyspepsia lay, un-
doubtedly, in his kidneys.
A well-known lady wrote to the Toronto papers a
short time ap stating that she had been cured of a
womb disorder by means of Dodd's kidney pills. She
did not think, until she was cured, that disordered
kidneys were the seat of the trouble. Valentine
Fisher, of Collingwood, lmt year was cured of sci-
atica of thirteen years' standing, by the same rem-
edy. He too, found out at a late day that his kid-
neys had all along been the cause of his sufferings.
These are only some of the many like experiences
that are daily met with.
It may seem early to say very much about Millinery. In fact, we will
not yet venture upon any statement as to styles, &a, for the coming season,
but merely intimate, to the ladies that our Millinery Department is being
placed under new nnd very able management. We have secured the services
of one of the best ',Miners in Canada.

Summer Regulations.
Fruit in summer is of great value. Green vege-
tables are also good in moderation. But any food
eaten and undigested is, to a very large extent, as
pernicious as poison, and very bad results are sure to
follow. It is here that the occasional use of Menn
bray's Kidney and Liver Cure has proven so useful,
In relieving the irritated stomach and liver, and
preventing summer sickness in many varied forms.
It is recommended to be kept in the house.
