A CHAPTER ON DIRT. Balnx "Inelegantly Clean. I "So rabjt is in sncb ill repute ss iu ant yet 1 boUll tow, in the Tery roe of tLe tidy Lmisekeepere of the ,and, that this is pl for dirt. I am sonnnced that the shining, spollem j lleanlineaa, so common with what are , uea f-ooa Bouwren, is very iar from, beincr a bleasinir to our homes. Kery woman hasjastso much strength; t lies in her own bands to put that trength to its best use. No weary wo man will contradict me when I amy it is aiot desperatelr hard to be brie ht and pleasant when one is tired the down right, achey kind of tired that is not such an unusual feeling to many women that it needs an accurate description to be recoirniaeu. I see no way to keep women, busy unes, from Ix-intf worried, but 1 also e not one cruiu of wti.se or reason in the amount of weariness that niont food housekeepera e-tr'ricnc. and. becirini; the pardon of the orthodox "good housekeeper,' I think she is wrongly uume-f. lo my mind no woman is ,ihhI hoii.n kerier. in the real, true eue of the word, wh puts the "house1 1hvs the "home." The true "house keeper" ha too loving an idea of "home" to make it all one struggle for 4iotle.-s tli-orn and nliiuing tins. It is far better to let the rtiMT go unsrruljlxhl. the tins) uuxi'ureil, the t-ive unbliK-ken cd than t lw w. ury that bright oi.ls ure the ones th.it come the slow- e-t. For iiiNtamf, to bo entirely specific. I never vet uw a woman ho attemjitej to b 'tli w.iau utnl iron on .Mon lay who was mt eros tiri il hen the Uhv was over. Will I be thought hharucfullv lar, r rme kimlrt-il word, if lad ;-t never doing any of the irouing on Mouclay ? an I furtheriuore not to )e the least bit grieved if part of the iron ing hits to le run on r ii.to Wetlncs- .lav? 1 never could underpaid -hv the in exorable luw ot a "good hoii.s, keeixT' should le thut cueh Frnlnva house mtir-t be swept from top to lottoiu. 1 rooms need such freiiuetit swet-ping. If tin y get dirty sweep them, if need be, tiiv a eek; but in the name of com mon sense don't sweeps room until it needs it, though it should go nnswept three months. 1 In r are plenty of reasons why houe-eli nuiug time should Ik? a minia ture "reign of terror." It would le ul m ot-t impossible to keep the family tempers from partaking of the fuss and worry and general dtseomfitrt f that most try in time. As 1 see no help for a generally uncomfortable time each hotise-c leaning 8' iison, prepare for the ordeal. When the first ta k is liftel, set your teeth, pitch in, scour, scrub, hammer and xund auy and le done with it. Jt is welt to consider however if there was tint a good deal in the rc mark of the tso'.itlu-rn lady. x ho upon isiting a Nort io i n towu uud taking a walk through its stn-ets saw ita spring time porch, roof ornaments, in the shape of innumerable bed-, the dusty earpets that occupied every available rass plat, the furniture picnicking on the porches and hearing the mournful sound of the tack hammer ou every side, exclaimed: "The Northern people are so inelegantly dean!" What a burden cleanliness is to chil dren! Not one of ns 1ms forgotten the woe the m re matter of clean face and bauds used to be. And how a clean piuatore, tr.at we were to k' Ct clean, used to subdue us! My heart aches for the child who can not do this or that for fear "1"11 muss my dress." A dirty child may not be an attractive object but did you ever notice how they seem to thrive? I numlx r among my acquaintances one who is counted a good housekeeper. Her house is spotless her cooking ex cellent, her wiudows shine. Every day her stove is blacked, her dish-pans scoured and every lamp washed. Her house is in spotless order and but nol there is not any "and" about it, unless it is, "and" she is tired, l'oes it pay? I think not. Her stove does not need blacking, her pans scouring, her lamps washing every day. It would have Wen better to have had a little dust, even one or two terrible oobwt.be, and at the day'scloso not been so tired that there was left neither strength nor inclina tion for smiles or song. How mell do I remember a visit paid at the home of au aunt, a particular woman! Her especial detestation was flics. I soou discovered my early train ing had been at fault with regard to the horror in which I should hold flies. That woman made the w hole household wretched with the continual war she waged with the few innocent flies that dared to invade hi r domain. To keep some bold fly from entering with ns we had to Uodge in the doors and shut them as quickly as though all the furies were behind us. The house was kept in darkness for the same reason and I used to go stum! ling through it, managing to run against every table and chair tnat had sharp corners within r ach. Ihe only com fort in the house was to stay out of it. So every tit day 1 spent on the porch, oulv entering the house at mealtime. when I dodged in the doors with all possible speed and witn au my care heard more than one warning call to shut that door quickly or the tiles would get in. There were screens in every window and every window blind was either clos ed or bowed. One night, after havini; tpent a trying day from its exaspera ting cleanl.ues, I vowed I would throw open every bliud in my room and raise every window and takeoutevery screen aud liave just as much light and air as I wanted t r once. I did it too, so I did but if you only knew how heavy my heart grew the next morning when I saw the dies! I packed up and came home the next day and from my heart I hate darkened rooms and screens. Better let a few Hies in and let them bite than wear out your own life and temper and those of all around you fighting them. t don't believe we were pat here to tiK'ht dirt to the exclusion of all else. The buoyancy and gladness in ns was uieaut to find vent in better things. I do not enter a plea for unnecessary dirt, but I do beg do not make yourself un necessarily tired, and 1 Wg it in the name and for the sake of a happy home; asking you to strengthen my begging by stopping, O busy tired woman, think what home is and w hat it is for, of the far-reaching effects the homo will have J'or good or for nit. Then do you dare make home the place that should be above all others the happy place, where the preparation, the guiding and the molding for time and eternity is done nothing but a battle held for (bis cru sade against dirt?

A LEA Li fs for the 1!ootMacqjt. Lr. T. II. lloskins, of Vermont, writes that two years' trial seems to confirm the statement that the larvte of the Anthcmyiie (A. cjxirwm. A. brastvxr, A. rupAa.) may be very greatly checked in their ravages by the free application of fine air-slaked lime, or of unleached ashes, along the rows, in close contact with the plants. The application must be free in order to be fully effective. The doctor has not found an application half an inch deep for two inches on each side of the row (or about the roots for cabbage) to do any harm to the plants, or a much less quantity to 1 fully effective. He tried Mr. Gregory's chicken remedy on onions, but found itdil not answer; while the application of ashes, especi ally as soon as rain fell suilicient to bring the alkali into action, seemed to stop their working very promptly. Tue Peitii or Dkais. This is a matter of interest to many farmers. In England the discussion U-tvrreu the ad vocates of deep and shallow drains has Urn long and tierce. The deer drains four feet have in every in stance seemed to carry the weight of argument. Few cultivated plants like wet toes, and, piactically, they will not penetrate leyotid the average line of water standing in the soil during this period of gnmth. lieeper drain mean a greater depth of soil for moisture and nourishment for the plant, more pro tection fof the roots from the sun and dry winds, less injury to the plant from extremes of drouth, moisture or frixst, aud a more uniform teinierature for the roots. The mam arguments in favor of shallow drains are, rapidity of removing surface water, and less cost. IlonsE Shoe and Siiokixo. The blunders and carelessness of borse shoers often subject "the noblest of all animals'' to needless discomfort if not cruelty. A recent writer remarks that the projer form of the shoe can le adapted for relieving concussion in horses subjected to hard and fast work. It allows the frog and probably a por tion of the sole and bars to come in con tact with the ground, so that the weight of the animal is distributed over a greater suriace oi the toot, ana not confined entirely to the wall, as in the case of the seated shoe. T he elasticity . of the horn may to some extent relieve . the foot aud leg from concussion, but I the frog, if allowed to come to the ground, acts much better. I he same authority suggests or ad vises, on another point, in tnis wise: To prevent horses striking the shoe of tl.e fore-foot w ith the toe of the biud fiMit, shorten the toe of the front shoes and lengthen those of the hind-foot. i nd in a little while it will cause the horse to pick up his fore-feet quicker ind the hind-feet slower. The quality of milk cannot be fixed by law. The milk from some cows will contain a lower percentage of solid matter than others. It Is even impos sible to obtain the same quantity of milk from one cow. Her food, dura tion of milking period, facilities for ob taining water and the manner of being milked influences the quality. The milk of cows from young grass will vary greatly from that produced fioiu ground grain. A temperature of from 64 to OC is necessary iu churning, and as the weather becomes cold the churn ami cream must be warmed. The temper ature can be easily regulated by the aid of cold and warm w ater to reduce or raise as is required. The churn it self may be very cold, and some dairy men pour warm water into it, ami then renew it before putting the cream in. The amount of salt necessary to be used In butter is generally accepted as ounce of salt to one pound of butter; but in salting butter the state of the weather is to be considered as well as the preference of the market. In winter le-s salt Is required, and in some markets butter tliat Is very salt is not sold as readily as when less salt is used. The horse is blanketed to prevent colds, while the cow is turned out to face the storms. The cow cannot en dure cold any Ix-tter than other ani mals, ami though it may not be neces sary to blanket her, yet she should have a shed, or some other protection iu the baru-ard. The rich black liquid tliat flows off from the burn-yard contains the wealth of the farm. I'se absorbent material, and sue it. The loss of liquid ma nure is great, and if saved Would Hot only add fertilizing matter to the farm but increases the value of the solids, Asparaois beds may be made now. I'lace the roots two feet apart, first making tl.e bed very rich with manure. It is usual to have the roots closer, but as the roots will thicken in the bed In the course of time, it is better to allow plenty of room iu the beginning. All plants that are set out in the fall for a permanent iatch, such as rasp berries, blacklierries, etc., should be cut back to within six inches of the roots. Canes that are left on will be of no advantage next season. w hat are caiiea sour apples are really sweet, though their taitness hides the saccharine properties they contain. Some of the richest sour apples, as the Kusset, make very strong vineg-.tr, which thev could not do if they did not contain a good deal of sweetness. Give winter protection to the small fruit. The thing to do is to select the best varieties, even if tender, and then co to the trouble of protecting them. Hardy var.et.es are often like tne scrub cow, tough, but mighty un profitable. I f other work is not pressing plow the ground for next year's corn, and leaves it in the rough condition, so as to permit the frost to assist in pulveriz ing it. In the spring it may be cross- plowed. Tatrning is commonly caused by temporary deficiency of the air supply in the lung. When the body is wearied and in a sleepy condition the process of respiration is sometimes involuntarily suspended for a few Eeconds. Nature at once, however, comes to the rescue. and by setting up a spasmodic action in the muscles of the mouth, throat and chest produces a deep inspiration, which conn eusaUs for the stoppage of the breathinz and is known as a yawn. There is, however, another cause which produces what may be caiiea tne yawn sympathetic an involuntary tendency to Imitation. The ribbons used for sewing n rows on net dresses are generally two inches wide. HOUSEHOLD InntmekabLe are the ways of serT Ing over cold potatoes. Wring to a slow Uoil In a tea.ettle boiler a quart ot new milk; season ith pepper and a larce tablespoonful of fresh butter; thicken with potato flour or a teaspoon fnl tf cornstarch or cerealine. Add the cold potatoes cut in large-sized dice and simmer fifteen minutes. Stir fre quently, pour into a dish, add the salt, ami keep the dish covered that the con tents may retain their heat. In the country, or where milk is abundant, cold potatoes cut up anJ simmered for au hour, or longer, until the milk has simmered more than sulf away and the potatoes have assumed a glassy, waxy apiearance, are almost as appetizing as oysters. A teacupful of sweet cream adds a touch of dcliciousness to au al ready savory dish. When thus cooked they requite constant stirnng, unless cooked in a teakettle boiler. Take cold mashed potatoes that ' ave been well seasoned with salt, pepjer, butter and cream. Flour the hands, but do not add flour to the potatoes; make into egg-shaiwd balls, wash over ith lieaten egg, I lace in a shallow pan and bake a light bro'vn. Serve hot, and edge the dish on which they are served with leaves of fresh parsley or fringed celery. lircad-cruinba make a lighter and far more digestible crust for puddings than the pastry in which they axe ordinarily baked. Slices of stale bread from which the crust has been nisped or pared are an excellent substitute tor p islry for apple dumplings, especially for children or adults whose digestive organs are not st long. I'are. core and halve juicy, tart apples; butter thinly a p dding dish or dripping-an, lay the slices of bread, barely moistened with new milk. In it, and upon each Mice of bread lay the half of an apple, the flat side down ward. 1'owder thickly with sugar, lightly with nutmeg and cinnamon, a tiny pinch of salt mid a piece of butter on each apple. I lake a light brown. ir, after parinc thinly the crp.-t from light rolls, make a shell of them by re moving the crumbs fr-m the centre and lilling them with chopped a pics, or the fruit quartered ami seasoned as aliove. In each cahc adding a few drops of lemon juice to the apple in e aril dumpling. Tout over the whole a cust ard made or one pint f sweet milk, lluee eegs, swaetciicd and flavored to tas'e. I'our on while h t, and bake a golden brown. I5u:ter a pudding-dish cover with a laver of very thinly sliced apples, lw der with sugar, a Iritle of cinnamon, a suspicion of salt, a few diojis of lemon extract and nits of butler; cover with bread-cruml s, alte naie this until the dish is tilled, making the last layer or crumbs. If convenient, pieces of qu nee pit-serve may be added. ISake and serve hot a ith sweetened Iresh cieam flavor ed with 1- mon, or lemon sauce mad l y mixing together the yelks of three eggs, the whites of two, a coffee-cupful of butter, half a pound of sugar, the juice ami grated rind of lemon, stirred over a tlow die until it thickens like honey. Ibitter a pudding-dish or pie-plate, stiew with bread-crumbs to the thick ness of pastry, dot wi'h bits of butter (very nice and mere wholesome w.lh- out,) fill with a custaid made of pota toes, chocolate or hat ever variety may lie piefcrred. For desserts the sweet potato fur nishes a bst of dainty dishes which might ue muiiipiien into a mucu longer liit, but we only offer the following: fLiCED Potato Tie. For taking this, a plate dcejer than the common pie pla'e is requited. Bake medium si?ed pot aloes not quite done. Line the Piute with good paste; slice the potatoes, place a layer uon the bottom ot the plate; over this sprinkle thickly a layer of good brown sugar; over this thin slices of butter and sprinkle with flour, seasoning with spices to taste. A heaped tablestHXinful of flour and the same quantity of butter will be sufficient for one pie. 1'ut on another Iayerof pota toes piled a little in the middle. Mix together equal quantities ot wine and water, or lemon juice and water and j-our in enough to half fill the pie, sprinkle over a little flour, and place over all the upper crust, pinching the edes c iref ully together. Cut a slit in the center and bake slowly one hour. Another Recipe. Take ha'.f a pr iiinl of potato, wash and put into a i mt with just enough water to keep them Irom burning. IjuI simmer slow ly for a half hour; they must be only liarboiled, otherwise they will be too ft and make the pudding heavy. When half-done, peel aud grate them. Siir to a cream half a pound of butter and six ounces of powdered so gar, add a giated nutmeg, a teaspoonful of bea ten mace, the juice and grated peel or one lemon, a wine glass of rosewater, one of wine. Stir these ingredients to gether, beat eight eggs light and stir into the mixture alternately with the Ioiaio, a little of each at a time. Stir the whole very hard, pour into a but tered uish and bake three-quarters of an hour. To be beaten cold. Grated t-otato pcddino. One pitit of sugar, half a pint ot molasses. one large spoonful of butter, and a pint of grated iotato. Mix well, and add sweet milk enough to make quite thin; season with orange peel beaten fine and ginge-. After It is mixed add to it hree well-beaten eggs. Hake in a ve y slow oven to allow it to candy over the top. Stir thoroughly from the bot tom, and let it candy over again. This is an old-time favotite and deserves all the praise it has ever received. Totato Fritters. Coil half a pound of potato, when cold grate; mix together two large tablespoonfuls of cream or rich milk, two of sherry wine, hair a nutmeg, two tablespooufuls of powdered tugar and the juice of a lemon; beat eight eggs, omit the whites of two; mix the eggs together five min utes no flour. Fry In hot lard, take up with a perforated dipper, serve im mediately. Eat with golden honey, or any good syrup or sauce. If people were as careful in avoiding the habits which produce disease as they are persistent in seeking cures for their adin nts. the number of invalids in the world would be much reduced. The sulpho-carbolate of sodium, in thirty-grain doses given after meals, Is recommended in flatulent dysipsia. Also in ten-g raid doses for nausea and vomiting, particularly in pregnancy. A pan of sliced raw onions placed in a room where there is diptheria will ab sorb the poison and prevent the disease from spreading. The onions should be buried every morning and fresh onss cut up. Totato Ctjstard. One teacupful of boiled or baked potato mashed and pressed through a sieve, oue teacupful of butter, same of sugar, three eggs well beaten. Cream potato and butter together, beat eggs and sugar together, mix and flavor to taste. Bake in a rich crust. Use meringue on these if liked. J. M. C A crmtract was lately concluded by the Mexican Government with Mr. Oscar Druege to plant 2,000,000 trees in the Valley of Mexico within four years. The trees specified are chiefly ash, pop lar acacia, and mountain cedar, with a sufficient margin for miscellaneous klnd. according to special conditions of site and climate; and the arrnnge ments contemplate the formation of national nurseries in which the study of scientific forestry may be pursued on a footing in some degree coouaeaaurat with lis Importance.

As we are Informed, the Paris journal for ladies fashions, "La Couturiere" has been awarded with a premium at the World Exhibition at Paris, and therefore we think, it would be of gteat interest both for our lady dress makers and tor every lady in general, if we call their attention to the new American edition of this fashion Jour nal, much the more as It is printed in English language. We can not enough point to the rich mateiial this paper offers, because tho annual issue con sists of about 300 of the latest designs, also 2 X) colored figures, and each num ber is accompanied by a cut pattern. But what seerrs to be for us of the greatest value, is, that the publisher has made arrangements, that of all the designs and of the colored figures, too, the cut patterns in various sizes, either of cloaks, jackets dresses or baby garments, can be got at from 20cts. up. We believe, it would be useless to mention that this paper "La Couturiere" brings only its own Paris designs iu original on the market, also that it Is enabled, to in dicate the latest fashion colors through its colored pictures. We can recommend this paper to every dressmaker and housekeeper, from the fact, that the price of this splendid issue is only $2.75 per annum ami $1.50 semi-annually, and it can be had through the X'ew York Office, Max Keffel, 834 Broadway. Especially we can hint to the Xovember edition con sisting of a great season picture with winter cloaks, an other season picture f r costumes, a Panorama ot children carments, a Promenade costume, the last three suppleua nts being in colored hues, and a cut pattern.
