hymbook; but then sister Mary has a new
table cover, that makes things look brighter
and different in some way, but why, he can
not tell. Its cost was but a trifle too; it is
only a square of wine-colored canton flan
nel, with the edges turned under on the
wrong side to the depth of three inches, and
a border of bright-colored cretonne stitched
on the right side. The lower edge of the
border placed about three inches from the
bottom. Then there was another one which
would look well too; the top was a square
of dark-red cloth cut to exactly fit the top
of the table, and common crash fringed
to the depth of three or four inches, with a
vine of cloth-leaves put on with any funcy
stitch just above the fringe, sewed to the
top cover, hanging around the table making
it ornamental as well as useful.
What would be prettier, and tone down
the stiffness of the room, than curtains like
cousin Georgia’s of white cheese cloth,
with lambrequins of bleached muslin, with
a fringe of the crash. To be sure, they won’t
last for ages, but who wants them too, they
certainly do not cost much, and new ideas
are springing up from all sides, on the sub
ject of home decorations, and we want to
be free to try our hand on something else.
When aunt Prim had the pretty rag car
pet woven, if she had cut up bright-red in
grain carpet into carpet rags and sent a few
pounds along to be woven on the end, a yard
and a half long, it would have made a beau
tiful rug to place before the grate. The
manner of cutting is this: cut strips three
inches wide across the width, then ravel out
the edge on each side for an inch, leaving
an inch of carpet in the center, sew these
together, as any other carpet rags, and wind
without twisting; it makes a bright, pretty
rug, and is a good way to use up an old in
grain carpet.
All Japanese and Oriental trifles add
brightness to a room as we well know, and
should not be dispensed with in the bright
ening up of a room. But there is so much
home-made fancy-work, that is really pretty
and unique in design, still gives one much
pleasure and satisfaction in the making that
any new ideas on the subject are always
welcome. Many of the sisters less favored
in the ability to originate designs are glad
to receive and act upon the suggestions of
others more deft in such handi-work, that
we would suggest an interchange of ideas—
how to brighten up a plain room with a little
money and a large amount of ingenuity and
taste. M. B. B.
unearthing them make the moleskin more
costly than the fur of the seal. Lady Braa-
sey (what's in a name?) is the owner of the
largest and most perfect moleskin sacque
ever made. It contains over one thousand
skins, and the price of 200 guineas, or more
than one thousand dollars, has been offered
for it.—Boiton Journal.
Woman.
She lies at the base of all life, whether
good or evil. From Eden to Pendleton,
woman is the first page of every history and
every religion, and is the illuminated ini
tial of every man’s life. Her power over
man is the crown on the torture, the glory
on the perdition of almost every career.
Here is a beautiful homage in a certain
sense:
“Beware of woman! ” exclaimed a brilliant
French writer, “if they do not crown you
they will strangle you.” Yet reason can
do but little against the force of beauty;
the first impulse, the irresistible instinct of
man’s nature is the homage of physical
beauty. It has a mystic power that sweeps
down all before it, the strongest and wisest.
A French writer says, with eloquent extrav
agance of his nation and idiom: “What
can equal a woman’s beauty?” Nature
made the planets and the stars—well enough
in their way—and the flowers and the wav
ing trees, and the red sunset’s crimsoning
the ocean—very praiseworthy effects all of
them, and evidences of a soul endowed
with fine sensibilities; but to have invented
woman, with the rose-tinted white of her
complexion, her hair, her lips, her eyes, her
hind, the marble roundness of her arm—
this was beyond the power of nature, with
all her skies and sunsets and stars. To cre
ate woman required the genius of God.
Beauty reigns without effort, charms with
out trouble, fascinates without art. She
simply lifts her veil, and male humanity
falls at her feet. This is nn unfair advan
tage, certainly, over the rest of the sex, but
it is inevitable—a fixed degree of nature,
Not with the resources of wealth and intel
lect, of art and science, can less-favored wo
man ever hope to achieve the triumph which
beauty obtains at a single glance.
Moleskin Sacques.—A meadow mole in
the Journal window attracted the attention
of moral circus folks. The mole's coat was
large enough for a young doll’s sacque, and
a very fashionable garment it would be,
The latest “rage” in England among wealthy
ladies of fashion is moleskin-sacques. The

There is a mountain puss in Switzerland
over which the traveler is conducted blind
folded. He might lose his footing if he
caught but one bewildering glimpse of the
chasm below. In like manner a wise love
conceals from us those circumstances that
might distract our attention from the imme
diate line of duty, and withholds the know!
edge that might occasion bewilderment and
a fall.
A vkry pretty and refreshing ornament
for a room may be made out of an old
sponge or a large cheap new one. Having
dipped it in warm water, squeeze out one-
half the fluid and put into the holes the
seeds of millet, barley, cress, purslane, red
clover, grasses and so on, according to taste.
The seeds, however, should be such as will
germinate easily and yield a variety of har
monious colors in their leafage. Place the
sponge thus seeded on a vase or hang it in
a window, facing the sun. Sprinkle with
water every morning during the week, and
it will soon be green with vegetation.
Thk duty of cheerfulness and content, of
work and worship, ought to be enforced in
the beginning of the spring-time brightness.
The forces of regeneration are beginning to
act throughout nature, and to enliven life
with the stimulus of reaction after a long
winter of rest under the lock and key of
frost. Let us thaw out! Let the new season
of growth be one that shall bear us beauti
ful blossoms and wholesome fruit. Let us
remember that culture and sunlight have to
do with the fruits we bear, as well as those
the trees produce. It is well to remember
that our lives are not the only ones in the
shadow—if they are—that suffering is con
tagious, and we have no right to propagate
the disease—that sorrow should be isolated
and quarantined os soon as it appears, and
that we have no right to add to the general
gloom of displaying the pall which covers our
dead. Let the dead bury their dead.
When thou hast thanked thy God tor every blessing

What time will then remain for murmurs or lament?
but do not disturb the sediment which set
tles to the bottom of the first tub. Mix with
this quantity 2 pounds of loaf sugar, stirring
until the sugar is dissolved; flavor with tbs
extract of ginger ale; color with burnt sugar,
etc.; fill glass lemonade bottles with the
usual quantity, adding to each bottle 2scru
ples of crystal tartaric acid; drive in the
cork immediately, and tie it down with wire
in the usual way; in an hour, or as soon as
the acid is dissolved, the ale is ready for use,
and will open with a sharp report.
Ginokr Birr.—Crush 12 ounces of the
best ginger, and put it in a large tub; boil 8
gallons of wntcr and pour thereon; add 0
pounds best white sugar, 1 ounce cream of
tartar, and 1 ounce tartaric acid; stir the
whole up with a stick until the sugar is dis
solved; allow to stand until milk warm,
then add one-gill brewers yeast; stir this in;
let it stand for twelve hours, or until a scum
forms on the top, then drain it off clear by
means of a tap about an inch from the bot
tom of the tub; whisk the white of nn egg
to a froth, and mix with a teaspoonful of the
essence of lemon; strain through a flannel
cloth and bottle and tie down.
Hummer Drinks.
The following are selected from a long list
in The Confretioner:
Lkmon Beer.—One pound sugar; 1 lemon
sliced ; 1 teacupful yeast; 1 gallon boiling
water; 1 ounce ginger, bruised. Let it stand
twelve to twenty hours, after which it may
be bottled.
Hop Brer.—Four pounds sugar; water q
s.; C ounces ginger, bruised. Boil the bops
for three hours with five quarts of water,
then strain; add 5 quarts more of water and
the ginger; boil a little longer, again strain,
add the sugar, and when lukewarm add
pint of yeast. After twenty-four hours it
will be ready for bottling.
Corn Bker.—6 gallons water; 2 quarts
molasses; 1 quart sound corn. Put all into
into a keg and shnkewell; in a few days
fermentation will have been brought on
nicely as with yeast. Keep it bunged tight.
It may be flavored wiili oil of lemon, etc.
The corn will last five or six makings. If it
gets too sour, add more molasses and water
in the above proportions. This drink is
cheap, healthy, and there is no better with
yeast.
Crram Soda without a Fountain.—Four
pounds coffee sugar; 3 nutmegs, grated;
pints water; whites of 10 eggs, well beaten
2 ounces oil lemon, or the equivalent of ex
tract, or other flavor to suit; 1 ounce gum
arable. Mix; place over a gentle fire, stirring
well; remove, strain and divide into two
parts. Into one part put 8 ounces bicarbon
ate soda; into the other 0 ounces tartaric
acid, shaking well. When cold, pour three
or four spoonfuls from each into separate
tumblers, one-third full of water; stir and
|iour together.
Ginger Ale.—Put 4 gallons of clear soft
water into a clean cask or earthenware pan
with u wooden tap inserted about an inch
from the bottom; mix with this about 6
ounces of bicarbonate of soda, and allow it
to stand 12 hours to settle; draw it carefully
off into another tub by means of the tap,
Goon Breeding, like charity, should be
gin at home. The days are past when the
children used to rise the moment the parents
entered the room where they were and stand
until they had received permission to sit.
But the mistake is now made usually in the
other direction and allowing the small boys
and girls too much license to disturb the
peace of the household. I think the best
way to train children would be to obsorve
towards them a scrupulous politeness,
would go so far os to say that we should
make it as much a point to listen to children
without interrupting them and to answer
sincerely and respectfully as if they were
grown up. And indeed many of their wise,
quaint sayings arc far better worth listen
ing to than the stereotyped common places
of most morning callers. Of course to al
low uninterrupted chatter would be to sur
render the repose of the household, but it
is very easy if children are themselves scru
pulous to respect the convenience of others,
and to know when to talk and when to be
silent.
