ArMANr E3 And because usefulness is to be considered paramount to everything else in selecting household furniture, utensils, etc., the proper adornments need not be neglected. Pictures and flowers, and everything that is truly beautiful mid pleasing to the eye, enhance general J happiness, and the lowliest home should not be without a proportionate share ,' of them. : Using the Mop. Mrs. L. II. C. Wayne; of New York, writes : Where one has a hard wood oak or maple floor, strong, hot soapsuds may be freely used. If, on the contrary, the floor is pine and nicely painted, H will need painting two or three times a year, if hot or even strong soapsuds are used. Hired girls and washer-wome- n often make sad Jiayocrwith the paintsoaping and even scouring with hot ashes. With a clean mop andjplean, soft, warm, or hot water, first run the mop all "along the mop boards, in the corners, on the thresholds, over the oilcloths and zincs, in the pantry and all the particular places. Change the water before it assumes a muddy appearance. Draw out the table a 1 ittle and ru n a clean- - mop behind that. There is no need of breaking one's back stooping down, if both mop and water are quite clean." Eve's Pudding.

One pint of linseed oil, one wineglass of alcohol ; mix well together; apply with a linen rag ; rub dry with a soft cloth, and polish with a silk one. Furniture is improved by washing ft occasionally with soapsuds. Wipe dry, and rub over with a little kerosene oil upon a clean flannel. The application of kerosene Oil is a preventive of vermin. To Prevent Suppuration. Acetate of lead dissolved with strong vinegar. Apply cloths dipped in the liquid as often as they dry, say every fifteen minutes, for an hour or two, until the pain abates. Repeat at intervals. For a delicate person the compound must not be too powerful, or injury may be sustained. Cold meat is not healthful or digestible, except to very well conditioned stomachs, and when perfectly tender. Most housekeepers would find it advantageous to study methods of making it into varied and palatable dishes, such as minces, croquettes, gravy pies, English and Irish stews, and the like. ... Hydrophobia. It is asserted by medical men, that if lunar caustic is used immediately after the bite of a rabid animal, well rubbed Into and dissolved in the wound, the virus is counteracted.

In bright mansions of truth, peace and love. A truthful soul, a loving mind, Full, of affection for its kind;: A spirit firm, erect and free, That never basely bends the knee ; That will not bend a feather's weight f slavery's chance for small or great; Tbat never makes a league with sin; That snaps the fetters despots mate.

But, if, as at times such things will occur, it is necessary to ask for trust; keeping a "small account book ahd having the tradesman charge both himself and the purchaser at the same time, often saves money and future trouble and uncertainty. A lady of experience remarks that in large families it is best to purchase large quantities of household requisites at a time ; but less where a family is small, as, where plenty is known to exist, there is apt to be too lavish use. Buy articles of clothing that will wear and wash well. A beautiful consistency should pervade the whole house, and if there must be stint, let it not be in the kitchen comforts and conveniences. Let there not be a well furnished parlor and shabby sleeping rooms ; or all these things in abundance, .and an ill supplied kitchen and pantry.

Every person has a time for being especially sick, if ever sick at all, apart from all effects of diet, occupation, or general habits. Some cannot abide a prolonged "dry spell."
