I have no mind to harrow up the
tninds of my readers with any explica
tion of the miseries and mysteries that
confront the average housekeeper in t lie
daily maintenance of a simple but com
putable existence for her family; as
lor herself, an existence at all seems
H struggle which at times she would
gladly give over. One might define a
heroine as the average American wom
an who does her own housekeeping.
Hut some hint of the unnatural and un
happy state of affairs existing at pres
tnt may be deduced from the consid
eration of two economic facts. First,
woman is, by nature, a home founder
tind a home maker. This is not intended
an assertion of personal belief, but
fis a statement of scientific fact. It
was woman —not man who opened the
industrial world; it was woman who
made the first rude dwellings, and
dressed skins, and wove textiles for

The difference would be particularly marked if the day had cleared and the sun
come out. This woman now gets over the difficulty with a clever arrangement of
tabs and buttons, or rings and tapes. The tabs are more satisfactory than the
tapes, and therefore ÜBed more often. There are five tabs. These have a single
buttonhole at the very ends and are buttoned to the gown. Two buttons extend
below them. Thus, without difficulty, the gown can be shortened and let down

There are many novelties in neck

They are not only very fancy, but they
are made of several materials, making
them quite pretty enough and expen

A novelty of novelties is a bow called

At a pink tea the other day, in ad

candy is an English notion, and in its
behalf the claim is made that it is a
much purer form of saccharine than
sugar. At the same tea. plates of small
round cakes covered with a thick, soft

UNSEASONED TUBS.
LarKe (luaiitltleH of Really tiuod Hot
ter Are Spoiled by Their t»e
All Over the Country.
A great many unseasoned butter tubs
are being marketed by one or two
firms, which ought to be in better busi
ness, but which somehow in the com
petition between them do not exercise
the care they formerly manifested iu
all their manufactures. Of course, it
will be said of the guilty concerns that
it is some one else that is turning out
such fresh material, but investigations
show that the concerns in question
ought to be in better business if they
desire to maintain any sort of reputa
tion for honest, decent goods. In writ
ing on this phase of the question to the
New York Produce Review, a Mr. Dodge
says among other things: "All the
trouble that I have had in the past three
years has been from sappy green wood,
and the trouble can only be overcome
by having the wood thoroughly dry and
fit for use. There is nothing manufac
tured, that is made out of wood, until
the wood is properly seasoned. I see
no reason why this should not follow as
regards butter tubs." No reason what
ever, except the rapacity and narrow
greed of some of these manufacturers.
It makes a great difference in the price
of butter that is not packed in first
class and thoroughly seasoned tubs 01
those raw and fresh. Tubs may look all
right on shipment, but after the buttei
has been in transit to market, the de
fects become apparent and the goods
are reported as off, affecting top quo
tation*. Butter-makers should exer
cise the greatest care in such matters,
and if possible make such concerns
sign a contract to make good any losses
sustained through want of properly
seasoned tubs. There is no excuse fot
it any more than there is for any othet
kind of fraud. —Prairie Farmer.
