The absolute and essential foun dations of good housekeeping and i-ntmfaction between mistress and maids arc: First. Early rising. Second. Method. Third. A placo for everything and everything in its place. In very few houses where these elementary principles are carried out is there any trouble with the servants. For tho first, in housekeeping more than in anything else, tho hours between 7 a. m. and 9 a. m. nre tho most precious of the day. A scanty flick of the duster and a whisk of the broom, with a hasty shake of the sofa cushions; a scram bled breakfast, with no time to put away tho frying pan and the por ridge saucepan before the breakfast things are brought out from the din ing room ; delay in getting into the bedrooms so it goes on all day, till even tho dinner is late. Those lost hours can never be overtaken, and there is sure to be ir ritation and perhaps bad temper be fore the day is over. Second. The method that is adopted for tho work of a household denotes at once the capacity and training of the head. Woo betide that household where the maids' duties are not clearly de fined! Alas for the mistress whose maids fail in order and method! The routine of well arranged and regular work saves enormously the brain wear and tear which is inev itable with such detailed work as this. The time saved daily is also con siderable. Imagine the waste of time and confusion in a school where tho head only arranged the work classes day by day ! Third. A place for everything and everything in its place. It is a wise old saying and intensely practi cal. How smoothly the woik would run if every one in the house would bear tho old adage in mind! An Ideal Parlor. 'This concentration of interests in a room is by no means an unworthy study. Many rooms are spoiled without it. It has been successfully accomplished in a parlor overlook ing a square. One side of this room is taken up with a large bay window. The other side, at right angles to it, is taken up by tho iireplace sunk in a recess and so carrying out tho line of. the window. The study of the mistress has been to make two cen ters to her room, one around the window, which is always charming by day, and one around tho fireplace for the night. Her table, therefore, with its writing materials and its reading lamps, has been placed in front of the Iireplace, with two easy chairs before it, where she and her husband can read when the logs are lighted. On tho left of the table there is a sofa facing the window with its pretty view, while grouped before it are more chairs. Here she takes her afternoon tea. Harper's Bazar. The New Hammocks. ' Tho swinging seat chain ham mocks arc shown this spring in much greater assortment than for merly. The enormous affairs as big as Dutch settees, with heavy frames and altogether too massive for the averago piazza or, indeed, the aver age lawn, have been not superseded, but added to in a number of varie ties. Some of these are in bamboo, others in wicker, others of light frames with rush seats, all to be piled with pillows, and are very at tractive. Some small affairs for children's use are daintily finished in white and gold. How to Make Sand Tarts. Beat to a cream a cupful of butter with two cupfuU of sugar. Beat separately the yolks and whites of three eggs and add to the butter, adding also a teaspoonful of vanilla for flavoring. Stir in lightly enough flour to make the mixture stiff enough to roll out thin. Cut it into squares or diamonds and place them in floured pans after brushing the tops with the white of egg. Sprin kle with granulated sugar mixed with ground cinnamon. Place a nut in tho center and bake in a moder ate oven until of a light brown color. The Way to Pan Chicken. To pan chicken cut tho chicken up as for fricassee. Put it into an ordinary baking pan; dust with pep per, partly cover with water and place it in a very hot oven. Baste frequently. When it is half done, add a teaspoonful of salt. When quito done, dish and serve with a brown sauce made from the water in tho pan and browned flour. Ladies' Home Journal. To Revive Vegetables. If root vegetables, carrots, par snips, turnips or such vegetables are growing soft or withered, cut a thin slice oil one end and lay them in cold water.

Conn, One Door East of McAfee's Hotel, MEKCERSBURG, PA. The Philosophy of Simon Frost. It's the breedin' more'n the pasture thet goes to make a hoss what he is. Ye can't natter everybody in the same way, but I an't never knowed a feller thet ye couldn't natter some way. One suspender button, ef it's sewed on tight, '11 hold more'n two loose uns. A feller's best friend's his con science, an like the rest o' his friends he don't pay much at tention to it. It's a mighty hard job to rind a feller thet's above his place in the world. It' all right fer a feller to culti vate his mind ef he don't let it cultivate him. Folks thet don't talk at all kin make as much trouble as them that say too much. When ye see a feller with his coat wore out at the elbows ye kin be purty certain thet he done it by hard work. It's easier to behove sometimes than it is to argue with him. There's some folks thet was born.au 'there's some thet's mean by edication an there's some thet's both. When a feller's a-hanging by a ropo twenty foot frum the ground ho geu 'rally hopos thet the feller thet made it was honest. A feller thet's all the time hap py an' the feller thet'8 all the time sad are both uv 'em fools. Ef some folks thet hev died thiukin' thet they hod left foot prints on the sands o' time could git back they'd find thet the'next high tide washed out the mai'ks. Some witnen wear veils to keep frum gittin' freckeled, but more uv 'em to hide the freckels. The undortaker can usually be depended ujion to put up a stiff uiguineut. THE TALK OF A1NKLIN COL Shoes.
