For Woman’s Work. A HERO. My hero wears no epaulets nor stars; No roll of drum, nor shrilly shrieking fife, Nor fluttering banner offers him salute. His garb is homespun; in the quiet walks Os private life be, unassuming, moves; No ghost of bleeding victim haunts his sleep; He saved the life your battle hero scorns. There was a fire: the flames burst forth, soared high, Screamed, crackled, hissed, waved, sought to kiss the clouds. The toils of years it swiftly changed to dust And scattered wide, as with a cyclones breath. And when they tried to save, the furnace hot Intensified its strength—enraged to find Its prey escaping from its grasp. At last O’er come with heat, fatigue, one fainting fell Into a sea of fire : loudly the blaze, Rejoicing, closed its line to seize and slay. The crowd, aghast, could only helpless stare. “I’ll save him!” boldly cried a man who sprang; Some held him. but with frantic zeal,and strength Os giant, tore he loose and leaped amid The seething hell of smoke and burning em bers, Rescued a life—returned and fainting fell. No noisy crowd vociferates his praise ; No bulletin proclaims his every walk; And yet he is a hero, and commands The silent homage of his fellow man. J. W. Dean.

EASTER BOOK-MARK AND SACHET. This novel book-mark and sachet com bined is made of two strips of broad ribbon with a fancy edge. The strips are fringed out at the ends to quite a depth and laid one over the other with very thin cotton placed between. The cotion must be cut to match the width of the ribbon and to fill a space twice as long as its width, and it is to be kept in place by lacings of narrow ribbon. The lacing is done with narrow ribbon passed in and out through holes carefully pierced through both ribbons. The ends of this narrow ribbon may be secured between the edges of the broad ribbon with invisible stitches, or the ends may be tied in pretty little bows. This confines the cotton in place on the ends, and by taking stitches along the sides in the fancy edge (which hides them) the cotton will remain in its place. The stitches along one side may be re moved when fresh powder needs to be added. This book-mark for an Easter gift should be of white and gold, but for use in books, other colors are preferable. The under ribbon, which is the longest, may be white, and the upper one or shortest may be gold colored, and the narrow lacing ribbon should match the longer or under ribbon. The short ribbon may be decorated with Easter flowers. The width, length and colors of the rib bons may vary to suit the purpose for which the sachet is made. If one has no talent for painting or embroidery the decoration may consist of a piece of applique embroi dery. DIAMOND LACE. Cast on 9 stitches and knit across plain.

One ounce of white saxony yarn, one ounce of pink, and a fine steel book, make a chain of 36 stitches of the pink, and join it. Crochet round 3 rows; taking up only 'one-half of the stitch ; fasten on the white wool and crochet 24 rows, taking up both loops of the stitch, crochet back to twenty fourth stitch, then turn and go back 12 stitches, and make these 12 stitches back and forth till you have 14 rows. For the instep take up only the upper half of of the stitch, join on pink wool and work all round the sock, taking up the outside half of the stitch ; work sixteen rows, then crochet together at the bottom, drawing the thread through 10 stitches at the heel and the same at the toe. Finish the top with scallops, Make a cord and tassels to draw up the sock CROCHET RUCHING. Materials : Zephyrs or silk. Make a chain of the length to reach around your neck, or measure by your collar. First Row— One de in every other stitch of the chain with 2 chain between each de; turn. Second Row—One de in each de of Ist row, with 2ch between; turn. Third Row—Same as 2nd row. Fourth Row—*4 trebble crochet under ch 2of 3rd row, 4 trebble crochet in the de of 3rd row ; repeat from*until you reach the end. These tc give the required full ness. If zephyr or saxony is used, finish by button hole stitching floss on the edge. Use white yarn and colored floss. If this ruching is made of floss entire, it is much nicer and not so expensive either. Sew tinsel cord on the edge if one prefers ; very narrow ribbon plaited, also makes a pretty finish to this ruching. The ribbon may be white if prefered, but pink or blue are nice,with cream white floss for the ruch ing. If one has white silk, finish with band like those you buy. This ruching is much more durable than what you buy, and I think just as nice. COVER FOR LAMP SHADE. One yard of five inch ribbon, 1 yard of lace about 2 inches wide, 2 balls of knitting silk. Sew the ends of the ribbon together and sew the lace on the bottom. Tie the silk in the lowest row of holes in the lace for a fringe. Take four threads of the silk about half an inch from the top of the rib bon and draw it up as tightly as the shade will allow. The knitting silk should be of the same shade as the ribbon. This is very pretty and also neat. ANOTHER LAMP SHADE. Crochet of pink cotton and cover with some open work pattern of lace. PRETTY CROCHET EDGE. Make a chain of 4 stitches; turn.

This completes one point. Repeat from 3rd row. Make with No. 30 cotton. This is also a nice pattern for Saxony. In cleaning brass and copper, use vine gar and salt. Warm salt water inhaled through the nostrils will help a cold in the head. Take spots from wash goods by rubbing them with the yolk of an egg before washing. Bathing the eyes in warm salt water when they are tired or weak, will sooth and strengthen them. Fresh milk heated to the boiling point will keep sweet twice as longin hot weather as cold milk. Scald the milk pans, daily. Breathe through your nose instead of your mouth, especially on coming from a warm room, or hall, into the damp night air. Always use New Orleans or Porto Rico molasses and never syrups—in making ginger-bread or snaps. Snaps will not be crisp if made on a rainy day. The white of an egg beaten to a stiff froth, whipped up with the juice of a lem on and taken hourly, will relieve the hoarseness and soarness of the chest. Flax seed tea and lemon juice is another good remedy. To make vinegar in three weeks, take one quart of molasses, one pint of yeast, three gallons of clean rain water; cover with gauze to keep out insects and to let in* the air. W hen this gets low pour in more water and you will always have good vine gar. Balm of a Thousand Flowers.— Alcohol one pint, white bar soap four ounces, shaven when put in, dissolve, and add oil of citronella one drachm, and oil of neroli and rosemary of each one-half a drachm. This is a valuable perfume for many uses. For Croup. —Take a knife or grater and shave in small particles about a teaspoon ful of alum; mix in twice the quantity of sugar, to make it palatable, and adminis ter it as quickly as possible. Its effects will be magical and almost instantaneous relief will be afforded. To remove freckles, scrape horse radish into a cup of sour milk and let it stand 12 hours; strain and apply two or three times a day. Or, mix lemon juice, one ounce; pulverizedjborax,one-fourth drachm; sugar, one-half drachm; keep a few days in a bot tle; apply occasionally. A sleeping room should be furnished rather plainly for health’s sake. Adorn ment with bric-a-brac and dainty odds and ends add much to the beauty of the apart ment, but the custom is notto be commend ed on hygenic grounds, as in the dust ac cumulating, lurks the germ of disease. Open the windows every morning for at least a half hour and let in the fresh pure air, before making beds or sweeping and dust ing. For softening water for washing wool and woolen goods, one authority says that the refined carbonate of potash is much to be preferred to anything else. Soda in any form, when used with wool, has a tendency to make it hard and brittle and give it a yellowish color. Potash renders wool soft and silky to the touch, and has also a slight bleaching action ; therefore, potash for softening water, and potash soap only, should invaribly, and without exception, be used for washing wool or woolens. This is claimed to be the experience of hundreds of the largest wool washers and woolen manufacturers. It is also affirmed that nature largely associates potash with wool in the yolk or grease with which it is found when growing on the sheep’s back, and to the total exclusion of soda. When feathers need de-odorizing, it is best to have it done by persons who make feather renovating a business and have the appliances for doing it in the best manner, which families have not. This is done by steaming, and afterwards drying and sifting out the dirt and broken particles, so that the feathers are not only de-odorized but are livened up in such a manner as to ap pear almost as good as new. New feathers need no treatment except drying sufficient ly to take out the moisture they contain after being plucked from the'geese. Owing to their extreme lightness they can rarely be spread out,but should be dried in a closed room, where, if possible, the sun can shine on them through the windows; or in thin sacks to prevent them from flying about when laid on a scaffold out of doors in the sun. Feather beds and pillows should be thoroughly aired and exposed to the sun quite often, and if properly cared for, will last a long time without any necessity for sending them to a renovator.

This is a universal need, because all children are liable to have worms. These loathsome parasites are not confined to any class. They have no respect for wealth or position—infesting alike the children of the President and the dirty urchins of the African pauper. The suffering and deaths they produce are incalculable. Thousands of children suffer through days and months, and are dosed with all kinds of “ drops and soothing syrups, to no purpose. The constant irrita tion kept up by worms, produces dis order and derangement of the entire digestive aparatus, making the child fretful and iritable,' and sometimes causing fits.
