For Woman’s Work.
“AT REST.”
BY M. M. E. M.
Dear hands, all roughened now, and seamed, and
scarred—
Full many a weary year they’ve toiled for me—
Helped bear my burdens too—yet I, to-night
Must press a last kiss on them tenderly.
Their task will soon be o’er, their work complete,
And they will grasp in heaven a guerdon sweet.
Dear patient feet—how many steps they’ve trod
O’er rocks and stones, and in the thorny ways,
Not through the vales of pleasantness and peace
Have their paths led for many weary days,
A few steps more, tired feet, the goal is near,
And rest is waiting for you—rest and cheer.
I close the kindly eyes, and smoothe the brow,
And cross the wrinkled palms upon her breast;
’Tis hard to lose her, but I must not grieve,
For she has won at last ner well-earned rest.

A NOVEL PLAN.
A friend gave me a plan of housekeep
ing which is novel to me. She has tried it
successfully for three years.
Her looks show such an improvement in
health, that my questioning brought out an
experience which I hope will benefit every
woman who reads it.
She has six in her family, four are chil
dren; she lives in good style and she does
her own work. You are going to say “im
possible,” dear sister, but the possibility de
pends only on the will. The plan is this:
Make a systematic order of the work which
comes every morning, with the view of sav
ing time and steps. On rising in the morn
ing, dress comfortably, so that no part of
the body will be cramped, or free motion
retarded. Get through the regular routine
as quickly as possible, following the well
planned order, and keeping mind and hands
faithfully at it until it is done. Do all the
house cleaning you mean to do that day,
while you are at it. When the routine is
over, do any odd duties which the day has
brought, never allowing the attention to
roam from any one thing till it is done.
These odds and ends of work are not alike
in all homes, neither are they the same
every day in any one.
Cook enough at dinner for supper, alwaj s.
If there are any visitors, do not permit
their presence to throw your methods into
confusion; if you do, your time and strength
will pay dearly for it afterward, and you
will not be more appreciated. My friend
says she neither dresses for visitors, nor
neglects her work to entertain them in the
forenoon; if they are sensible people, they
excuse her seeming rudeness—if not, she
can afford to lose them. You mav not
agree with her there, but that does not
affect the general plan.
When dinner is over, everything is put
away in perfect order, and the table ar
ranged just ready for supper. Then there
is no more work "taken up for the day.
Lie down and rest for awhile, dress neat
ly, make or receive calls, read or write—
do anything you please. When supper
time comes, do nothing more than you are
absolutely compelled to do, leaving the ta
ble prepared for breakfast. You will goto
bed at night, rested, instead of tired—can
sleep well, and feel fresh and vigorous in
the morning. But that is not all.
There is weekly and yearly work as well
as daily. If you rise early there will be
time for all. One day of the week is set
apart for washing, one for ironing, one for
scrubbing, one for baking, leaving two days
for any of these that are unfinished. If all
the washing cannot be done in one fore
noon, leave part of it over till next day.
The same applies to the ironing. Arrange
so that churning will come on the most
suitable days, and bring everything prompt
ly to time, in no case taking up any house
work in the evening.
Then there is the semi-annual sewing,
spring and fall. Before the new garments
are needed, give thesubject sufficient study
to know just what the family will need du
ring summer or winter. Decide exactly
what will suit, and make a list of what you
want. Bevise and consider until the list
is satisfactory, then purchase all the goods
at one time, thus saving time and money.
.Set apart the required time for sewing, and
have it understood that you can neither
make nor entertain calls during that time;
that is, the sewing time, and must not be
interrupted. If possible, arrange a room
that is not occupied, for that purpose.
Place therein the sewing machine, work
table, and all things needful, leaving them
ready for use till the sewing is finished.
If you have no help, hire a seamstress or a
cook, by the week, during the sewing time.
It is cheaper to hire help, when there is
extra work, than to do without it and break
down your health. Put in all the time
your strength will allow till the sewing is
done. If visitors come in, a tew words of
explanation will permit you to baste or
work button holes during their stay. When
the spring sewing is done, clean the machine
thoroughly, cover it closely and put it away
until autumn, when the winter work will I
again bring it to the light for a time.
When looking over what I have written, !
my friend says, ’’You have written it in
very dry style, Kate, but it is true. I make
our clothes in the best fashion I can, and
we wear them. We never think of want
ing new things that come oht later. Just
to think how I used to keep the machine
in the floor all the year around, sewing
a little, then cooking a little! It’s horribly
poor management. The very thought of
it makes me feel tired. And I used to go
to bed at night so tired that I couldn’t
sleep; now I sleep soundly, and feel like
working in themorning.”
Weak and thin, looking tired and cross,
she 'went away to a new locality three years
ago ; she has come back round and plump,
looking fresh and comfortable as a girl.
Isn’t it worth trying ? If anything will
give rest, health, and comfort, our tired,
overworked mothers need it. Good plan
ning, and a strong will to carry it out,
would be a great improvement on some of
our haphazard housekeeping. Time,
money, and strength would be saved, to say
nothing of the comfort of living under a
system, instead of a chance.

THE CARE OF THE TEETH.
- ’
“Pearly teeth are half the beauty of any
woman,” has been truly said.
I once knew a young girl, who, when
her face was in repose, was positively home
ly—for not a feature redeemed the irregu
larity. But let her smile, (which she often
did) and what a transformation! Her
teeth were small, even, and pearly white,
yet she exercised far less care upon them
than others with softer and larger teeth, |
You see, her teeth were her only beauty;
and others, whose teeth are not their only i
beauty, can make them their chief one, by
care and culture.
Soft teeth need the greatest care, for they
break and wear easily—also become dark,
or yellow, quickly. Bough, uneven teeth,
are much harder to keep white than regular
ones, and consequently more care is needed.
Hard, even teeth, take a high polish, seldom
break, or decay, with proper care, and are
the least trouble to their owners.
To begin with the teeth that have not ,
been cared for previously (the correct way I
is to teach a child with its first teeth to (
brush them), one must have a dentist’s ex- !
amination and attention; filling ail decayed I
if possible, or extracting them if necessary. !
If the teeth, especially the double teeth
are covered with tartar, have him clean
them. Then you will be able to take the
entire care of them yourself, thereafter.
There are many tooth-powders and soaps,
but the best way, after your teeth are filled
and cleaned, is to brush them briskly and
thoroughly after each meal. This frees
them from all particles, which, if allowed to
remain, will putrify and cause decay; and
it also gives no chance for the formation !
of tartar, or yellow coating.
Once a week, or perhaps oftener, it is ad
visable to scrub the teeth with soap suds, ■
made from Castile soap, cleansing the mouth
afterwards with water. After this, an ap
plication of one’s favorite dentifrice will
polish the teeth, and add fragrance to the
breath.
Many people place implicit faith in a
tooth-powder—considering an application
Sunday morning, sufficient for a week.
This is all wrong. Tooth-powders are
more of a polish, flavored pleasantly, than
anything else. Any powder, which at one
application will remove tartar and decay,
must, from its very nature, be injurious,
for it will also take off the enamel of the
tooth, as well as the discolor. But brush
ing after each meal, will do much toward
keeping the teeth clean, and allowing noth
ing to settle. Cold water also hardens the
gums, making them pinkish. Deep red
gums are the result of inflammation, caused
by decaying teeth.
With proper care, anyone may possess
beautiful teeth; but proper care is the ex
ception rather than the rule.

ADVICE TO MOTHERS.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup has
been used by mothers for children teething
for over fifty years with perfect success.
It relieves the little sufferer at once, pro
duces natural, quiet sleep by treeing the
child from pain, and the little cherub
awakes as “ bright as a button. ” It is very
pleasant to taste, soothes the child, softens
the gums, allays pain, relieves wind, regu
lates the bowels, and is the best known rem
edy for diarrhoea, whether arising from
teething or other causes. Twenty-live
cents a bottle.
Mr. Jno. T Clarke, Bibb County, Ga.,
says: lam so well satisfied of the specific
virtues of Bradycrotine, that I shall always
keep it on hand.

SKIN CANCKiX.
Several years ago I was called to see a colore,
woman who had a malignant form of cancer on
her foot. The cancer grew worse under the pre
scribed treatment, and the toes and one side of
the foot were at length eaten entirely away.
The patient could not have survived much lon
ger, but I commenced the use of Swift’s Spe
cific, and it cured her sound well. That was
three years ago, and there has been no re
turn of the disease. I regard Swift’s Specific a
most excellent medicine for blood diseases, as
its tendency is to drive out the poison.

For three or four years I had an eating sere
