- I MY OUTDOOR STUDY.' T HABOABST 8FXNCKB. "Woxierful and laeoinatvng was an article, written long ago by Thomas AVentworth Higginson, ppon this sub ject. I wiBh onr girls would read it I can never forget the joy it gave me, away back in the "war times." Perhaps your gardens, like mine, hare fainted and Buffered from this long snmmer's drought. Our beet and dearest blos soms have died, but the more sturdy and enduring have gathered strength for early frosts, and will die in glorious colors. Onr beds are banked with gold and scarlet. The tall asters, the sal Tins, tha most glorious chrysanthe mums, are in their ''prime. ' The wide plumes of crimson coxcomb, and the silvery pampas grass divide the summer annuals from the winter ivies, and nastuitiunia fill the low bed with radiance. Tbe only real life for onr girls is out of doors; I mean all they can poosibiy get. To some, aumtuer has brought rest, vigor and health, by an outing in suit waves, or by the purple mountains; to others, work, poverty, and ill health, but in some measure our great sun shine and blue sky. Henry Ward Xieecher used to say: Money buys books and houses and food and raiment, but 'out of doors' is like salvation, without money, and without price.' " "Ob, I am so tired 1" sighs Mary in oflioe, store, or sewing room, nursery or hot kitchen. All day, work, work, work, till the sun goes down behind tbe city spires. They go on crowded cars, and the busy school-girl spends the best hours of each day in the school room. This is necessary, but there Is a midday blessedness of sky, of sun and cloud, a peep at the trees, if one looks for it, a little walk in the sweet air, and a good drink for the thirsty ones. We exhaust all our mental power; use, till threadbare, the nerv ous foroe of brain and hand, but one little hour or less of outdoor food will build as up quicker than bottles of tonio! I know a large room in Washington full of girls from sixteen to twenty years old, perhaps older. They "feed ' oiJy plates for printers, and sew books and out and fold, from eight to five! Their long row of windows looking to ward the east and south keeps them slivel I see them at the short noon, time, water and tend the window boxes of scarlet geraniums, and white alys snms, and with bits of twine train the little vines to creep upward! Very little thingnf but these girls are stronger, better, purer in character for the peep of blue sky, and the still, grateful voice of the cheery friend in the window! Aoroes the city street into a court, or just a wall between them ami tbe clouds, but God's face is alvavsjn the sky! Grammars and histories are impor tant, but not half so necessary to a per Ix't soul anl body as an intimate knowledge of nature. We begin with onr babies in their pretty carringca standing deep in the grass under the shady treo; and li t them sleep to the sweet lulkbles of the rustling leaves They begin life out of doorsl and "Starry .Eyes" In the nursery, "sweet est saint in all the calendar," kioks and cries until the door opens, and she goes outside nursery walls! Our girls may have to do without costly sashes and dainty boots, "yellow dog carts," and "lovely bats!'f but an outdoor study is a child's inheritance I Airs. Hayes, while in the White House, askea the gardener to make her small bouquets every morning, and send to tbe family reception room (the red room). She arranged them herself on a 1 irge table, and gave them to call ers as they said good-bye. A member of her household told me that she said one dayj "1'ou see, dear I have a great many working girls and woman come to see me, who have no flowers; and live in close room. I love to walk with them through the conservatory, across the flower garden, and give them a little fragrant bunch of pinks or roses; It wakes thfin (row. 1 grow myself in doing it!" We have a little man of nine, who leads his college- bred father many a brisk walk through shut-away places in wood and field, to tell him the name ot trees which his older eyes haue never een! "What makes Susie so pale?" "Oh, he hates to walk, and climb and run. rihe always reads." Poor child! 'Booky folks" are very nice, and mart, and all tiiat, but nlve nie the fresh air child, who spiings to thb first crack in the door, Bnmmer or winter, to chase butterflies), or throw snowballs at the unsuspecting futher may be! The baby cried; the bread burned. Mother was worn out; Mary's head throbbed with the household friction. Bhe did all she could, then slipped into tbe small yard or gurden, or down the street a minute. The "outdoor study" was open! lts roof and floor was ever-changing blue and vendure," perhaps only a tree, or a spray of vine tangled over her neighbor's fence. The picture was artistic and restful, the air fresh, and the sunshine glorious! When our hearts are heavy with long ings for some unattainable thing, duties drag like a run-down clock. Ob, )et us fly to our outdoor study, reach up to the topmost shelf for the dear books, "done in blue and gold," pray a little prayer, quietly, by our selves, to the blessed father of onr outdoor household, whose splendid library is never closed, whose sweetest stories and most perfect pictures are our own 1 Oliver Wendell Ilolmes measured every tree on bis place with a tape line, and knew each one pereonnlly. Walter Hcott wrote his best books out of doors, under the trees, and his neiL h'xirs used to ridicule the m in "who wrote whole days under an uiu brella." We grow rich, for our pos session can sever be valued, fresh every hour, new with evtry sunrise and sonnet. Dear girls, make your "study" everywhere; make it airy and spacious; claim the best and biggest, and sun niest spot near you! if yon would have beauty, and grace, aud spirits, and love, yon must go up and down among the Cowers, however few, or common, or poor. . It inspires yoa with new life, and priorities most com mon things, in this study yon are never disappointed, but always sur prised. Suddenly, out of a weedy cor ner, peeps up a goldou-faced pansy, blown by some summer wind and last November's blasts bid away this yeur's harvest of bloom! Not all the finery of riches can make you gladder. How confidential yon glow with the 'first families;'' they bow and entile, and in vite you to coiae again, and you go again and again, and dream of the roses and pinks and fragrance, of the waving plumes, the sheony gowns, dotted with blossoms which no human band could paint or weave. The boundless freedom of this out of dooitl Unrest flees uway; and you wonder how you lived through the con finement of the working hours! It is greater freedom than one comprehends. The friction of small duties, the caprioes of uncertain tempered house holds, step off liko a soiled garment. The kind whisperings of these compan ions are so restful, dignified, and silent. and respectful. Mother Nature comes to us from God. bhe widens alliour theories, and narrow, hateful, sultisn views. A little pink and whito blos som stows down in the oabbaco patch, a thousand morning-glories spring np and olimb aver the oldest, most tumble down barn or fnee. The yellow of the oft-petaled flower, or the pale blue of the tort;et-me-not of the woods V-aoli us lessons ot dearost, fullest love "to- ward all." In this sindy we lean' priceless lessoas. Money eennot buy them, nor brains alone teach them. J We may go the world over In search ot j knowledge and wisdom and power, and, come back to some lowly home to be taught God's great lessons beside this . "homestead door of bird, or bee, or flower." "A new heaven above and a new earth beneath. LATE APPRECIATION. "Carve not upon a stone when I am dean. The promises which remorseful mourners giv lo women's (rraves a tardy recompense liut speak them while I live. Forget me when I die! The violets Above my rest will blossom Just as bine, Nor miss the tears; e'en Nature sell forgets But while I live be true." , NEATNESS AT THE TABLE, At the risk of offending my friend Mrs. Ii who recently came to spend the day with me bringing two-year-old little Kuth, I insisted that the child should not nse the od-cloth table mat and bib which the mother had brought, even though tbe design was pretty and the edges neatly fin ished. "First lessons are what count" in table manners as all others, and any child that is old enough to oome to the table can be taught to be neat and well behaved. But the oil-cloth appendages besides being positively ugly, are an invitation to a child to mess and be careless, I know there are a few mothers, re A.aiI unMliv. wa m a n who jtannnt afford the luxary of sufficient table linen, and are over-burdened with care and work that they must resort to their methods to save money, tune and strength. The children of such mothers wili be well-behaved no matter what their surroundings. But my friend, and the majority of mothers who adopt these methods will expend enough money and time upon elaborate ornamentation of their own and their children's clothing, to keep their table supplied with sufficient linen to be always neat. It need not be fine In quality, In deed it need not even be linen, a piece of cotton jean or diaper will make ex cellent bibs and napKlns ana tne Desi portions of worn table-cloths can be utilized for the same purpose and when laundried neatly, are far prefer able to oil-cloth. Nowhere are good manners, or the lack of them so quickly deteoted as at table,' and they can only be acquired by the persistent efforts of the mother, by the line upon line and the doing precisely as you require them to do. I.1TTZ.E HELPS. A cake of sa polio should always be kept near the kitchen sink. It is ex cellent to seour steel knives and forks with, as well as all tin or agate dishes, and will remove egg or tea stains from china. Put a teaspoonful of baking soda, or pearline in the tea-pet occasionally and after filling two-thirds fall of cold water, bring to a vigorous boil for fif teen minutes. A delicately flavored tea cannot be made in a badly stained pot. Put a tableepoonful of pearline in the dripping pan or kettle, when yon remove the meat, and filling it with cold water, bring to a boil, and the grease will be removed. Always nse a vegetable orosn to olean turnips, beats, parsnips or other vegetables that are not to be pared, and avoid cutting the skin, if possible. Neither should a potato be baked that has had the skin out, as in both eases the flavor and mealiness of the vegeta ble is injnred. An nupainted soft wood kitchen floor will look much whiter if cleaned with a small allowance of very hot water, changed often, than it will il soaked with a great quantity. BREAD MAKINO. Good bread cannot be made of poai material, but I care not what brand of flour or yeast yon use, or by what method you make it, if it becomes so chilled as to arrest the process of fomentation for any great length of time it will not be nice. And as many honskeepers do not have facilities for keeping it at an even temperature dar ing tbe night 1 give a reoipe that never fails to produce delicious bread if good flour and yeast are nsed and that without anxiety on the part of the cook. At dinner time or by four o'clock ic the afternoon, pare and boil four medium-sized potatoes and mash them through a colander or Hemmony masher and pour over them one quart of hot water. Cover closely and stand in a warm place. Soak one cake of "Yeast Foam" in a pint of warm water until soft, then add one tablespoonful of salt, two of granulated sugar and two of flour tieat well and stand in a warm place until bed time. Then stir the yeast into the potato water, wrap a blanket around the dish, or place it where it will not become cold. I lie first thing in the morning stir in Hour enough to make a batter a little stiller than for griddle cakes, and beat it viaorou ly for. fifteen minutes. Stand it in a warm place and in three hours it will have risen to .an active foam and set tled down. In the meantime warm bnt not make hot enough flour to mix tho dpongo into a smooth, bat not very stiff mass. If you are strong enongh to knead it half an honr the bread Will bo whiter and more delicate, than it will with less manipulation but Mrs, lowing notwithstanding this is a hard operation nnless one is strong. The best substitute for this amount of kneading is to chop the mass thorough' ly with a chopping knife, after it has bcon mixed sufficiently stiff and smooth. After this knead again into a smooth mass, rub a tablespoonful of Miit not melted lard over the top and do not let it get too warm while rising. Allow the mass to become very light before making it into loaves, and rub lard over tbe top of each one when setting away to raise. Do not allow the loaves to rise until they be come too light, aud have the oven at a high degree of heat when yon put them in to bake. At the expira tion of fifteen minutes lower the tem perature, and bake from forty-five minutes to an hour according to tbe size of the loaves. When done wrap in a damp cloth, and over this a dry one and place on the side of the loaves. If the sponge is set at six o'clock in the morning the bread will be baked by noon and bo delicionsly sweet. RAISED BISTtTIT. Add a piece of butter the size of a hickory nut and a tablespoonful of sugar to a little of tho sponge at the last kneadinir, and form into bisouits. Kub a little butter over the top before standing away to rise. BREAD OAXB. To one tencnpfal of bread sponge add one teaenpful of sugar, one half cupful of butter and one well beaten egg.

Autumn's bonfires" are blazing by bill and forest paths, leaving the foliage brown and withered as it burns away. Flowers have faded, and dead leaves fall about our feet. The brightest days are hazy with the smoke of Indian Mummer; here and there a belated flowers lifts its head or droors in the chill of frosty nights. The flambeaus ot the Golden Kod are turning brown and in the hedges and red berries of the trailing night shade, sweet briar and thorn light np the ragged foliage. The partridge beats his drnm in meadow and woodland, birds of pas sage are meeting and chattering of dis tunt scenes in warmer lands. The davs are still fair, aud sweet with the smell of dying leaves, but it is a beauty which tells of decay. We mast say lareweu to mo peaaii fal flowers of Autumn and prepare for snow and cold and bleak December.

It is fascination to watch the dexter ity with which a skilled florist will make np an artistic design, and to see it grow from a bare wire skeleton to a thing of grace and beauty. We give a lew ideas upon tne max ing of these designs which may be use ful to onr readers: For a table decoration, the founda tion is an oblong wire frame some two inches high and about ten by sixteen inches in size. . In the centre is a circle or the reception of moss which, after being filled with sphagnum, is decorat ed with leaves. This moss is fonnd in swamps In many of the States or can be obtained very cheaply by florists in any large town, as, also, the wire frames and other materials for trimming. A very handsome design was once made by an ingenious person with no better ma terials than pasteboard patterns, moss as from the wood, a coil of wire and a basket of wild ferns, flowers and leaves. The first circle of ferns was made by slipping the leaves to a length of about five inches, leaving a bare stem long enough to insert firmly into the founda tion. The centre of the circle is to be filled with panties; the oblong outside with rosebuds and sweet peas, an other row ot ferns and then a border of whito lilies interspersed with feath ery sprays of moiden hair fern or any lght frond-like leaves. A star filled with white rosebuds and red carnations is very beautiful, a oircnlar centre of the white with the points in red being most effective. A star of flaming gladiolia is, also remarkably attractive. Asparagus tenuissiinus Is fine lor mixing and edging, as, also, the young leaves of some species of spirea. .Ever greens, each as arbor-vitae, may be used in the absence of other leaves but has a stiff look not so desirable as some lighter foliage. Long stemmed flowers are easily in serted in the moss bnt many flowers have to be stemmed artificially. Leave FLOBAL DESIGNS. the natural stems an inch or so long, hold the flower between the thumb and finger of the left hand, place a bit of cotton against the end of the sUm and hold a common wooden tooth pick by the side: twirl a piece of fine wire about it and it will insert easily into the moss, tbe cotton absorbing the moistnre and thus keeping its freshness longer. Designs made In autumn may be kept a long time by using flowers which do not wither easily, such as golden rod, asters, daisies, chrysanthe mums, etc. ibe heilantus is very showy and will last for weeks, and the beautiful pompons oi clematis.

No truly elegant and refined woman ever makes nse of violent perfumes, it is not by a mere change of fashion that scents ore so much less employed of late than tbey were some years ago. Many doctors assert that tbe power ful essences with which women satur ate their c'oilirs and handkerchiefs, are often the direct eunse of headache and nerrons disorders of all kinds. Oiood tiuite alone should prevent ladies from using anything bnt the most delioate and evanescent of ex tracts; everything nlont a yonng and pretty woman onlit to lie sweet smell ing, bnt not to the degree of making this sweetness offensive. To attain this aim all the drawers and cupboards, chitTbuiers and clothes presses in a w man's dressing-room should have large-flat sachets filled with a mixture of orris root, violet and amber powder. These particular odors agree well and blend together with a result, which, withont being strong, is both enduring and extremely a(r'e- able. furthermore, the linen when returned from the Inn miry should be Sprinkled lightly with lnvender ami verbena water, a process which re moves the odor of starch and s ap lingering in their folds. jV. 1ritun Ribbed goods, after the manner ot Bedford cords, are among the hand somest woolens, and will rival the finest habit cloth.
