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. For Woman’s Work. 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. Kate Carrington. For Woman’s Work. 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. Ray Richmond. lowa. 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.

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. Matherville, Miss. Wm. E. Stagg, M. D. CANCER OF THE TONGUE. For three or four years I had an eating sere on my tongue that made a considerable hoh in it. I became alarmed at its progress, and went to Atlanta for treatment. The result was that 1 commenced the use of Swift’s Specific, an i 1 he sore was soon gone, without a trace < if it left. Thomaston, Ga., Mar. 14, ’B9. A. Lewi- . Treatise on Cancer mailed free.
