uaasatifi ssfiits&tt MRS. A. P. HILL, Editress. The attention of all housekeepers it invited to thit Depart ment, and the Editretn urges them to send her copies of tried receipts. Let us make this an interesting and prof itable Department. Iiii|H»rtaiice i*f Ventilation. It is a matter of vital importance that a house— particularly the sleeping and family rooms—be well ventilated. A single person, it is said, will spoil a gallon of air every minute. Jarvis says, “The necessity of pure air is imposed upon all the animated creation, though in an unequal de gree. Yet every animal, the highest and the lowest, the man and the worm, and all interme diate grades of creatures, must sustain life by their breath. All these, from the first to the last moment of their lives, are continually ab sorbing and consuming the life-giving oxygen of the air, and sending back in its stead the poi sonous carbonic acid gas.” What becomes of this poisonous cnrbohic acid gas ? This is an interesting question. Profes sor Johnston furnishes this answer: “Every green leaf that waves on field or tree sucks in during the sunshine this gas from the air. It is as indispensable to the life of plants as oxygen is to the life of animals. Remove all carbonic acid from the air, and all vegetable growth would cease. The proportion of this gas in the air is small; were it greater, animals as now consti tuted could not breathe the atmosphere without injury to the health.” There is a remarkable natural example of atmosphere overloaded with carbonic acid gas in the “Poison Valley” of the island of Java. Some experiments are reported as to the length of time a dog and a fowl lived that were sent into this place. The dog lived eighteen minutes, the fowl less than two. And yet, “we resort to places of assembly and draw into our months air loaded with effluvia from the lungs, skin and clothing of every individual in the promiscuous crowd.” The character of the air is only realized when we escape from the vi tiated atmosphere and breathe the pure, fresh air. Dr. Cutter says: “ A hall sixty feet by forty contains thirty-six thousand cubic feet of air. A hall of this size will seat four hundred persons. By allowing ten cubic feet of air to each person per minute, the air of the room will be rendered unfit for respiration in nine minutes. In all crowded rooms the same effect is produced.” The statement is made by men of science who have taken pains to examine the subject, “that the impure air of sleeping rooms probably j causes more deaths than intemperance.” Those who shut themselves in close, warm rooms, and list the doors and windows to keep out the air are troubled with headaches, liver complaints, cough, consumption, scrofula, and J complain of languor and want of appetite. The confined air becomes unwholesome because the j oxygen or life-giving principle of the air is con sumed, and the deleterious carbonic acid is ex pelled from the lungs only to be breathed again. Sick persons no doubt often suffer because the nurse carefully excludes the air from an appre hension that the patient will take cold. The bed of a sick person should be so placed that pure air can be admitted without blowing upon them, and the vitiated air allowed to escape. How important that physiology and hygiene should be taught in our schools ! The laws of health are constantly violated through ignorance, j Nature terribly avenges herself upon those who j outrage her laws. The care of the body is import ant. Mr. Ruskin says: “The morality of clean I blood ought to be taught as an early lesson, j Whenever you throw your window open in the morning, you let in Athena* as wisdom and j fresh air at the same instant; and whenever you j draw a pure, long, full breath of right heaven, j Contributed Receipts. Mrs. Hill,—I am very much interested in your department. Your recipes are good and exact, which cannot be said of all; indeed, so very un exact are some that the}- remind me of an amus ing attempt I made in ante-bellum days to pro cure the recipe for a nice ginger cake I ate at a friend’s house. Upon asking her for it. she re ferred me to her cook. Pencil and paper in hand, I repaired to the kitchen, and in the most engaging manner I could assume, asked the “mauma” to teach me how to cook her nice cakes. She was quite flattered by the applica tion, and proceeded to mystify me with the fol lowing directions: “ Well, missis, just take as much syrup as will do—” “How much will that be ?” quoth I. “W’y, ’cording to how many you ’spect to make. Have your flour sifted in a trey—” “How much of this?” “Jestenuff to keep the dough from bein’ too stiff; then I puts in butter milk or sweet milk, as to whether I uses yeast powders or soda; if soda, in ’portion to its sourness.” I ventured to ask, “ How many spoonfuls?” “Well, missis,” said she, “you does beat all for not understandin’ ’eeipts. I thought anybody knowed how to portion soda and sour milk; then add ginger to taste.” This last was all of the directions I comprehended, but she understood it so well herself, I feared any further questioning would stamp me as the embodiment of stupidity, so I thanked her for the valuable information given, and withdrew to find elsewhere the following good and simple receipt: Ginger Cake.—One quart of syrup, one table spoonful of ginger, heaped table-spoonful of lard, half tea-cup of butter milk, the same of water, two eggs, table-spoon even full of soda: flour for a soft dough. Should not be worked much. Mrs. P. DIES IRiE—DIES ILLA. SELECTED AND ARRANGED BY MRS. A. P. HILL. This magnificent canticle belongs to the mid dle ages. Of all the Latin hymns that have come down to us, this is considered the masterpiece. Numerous translations have been made into dif ferent languages. In 1859, Abraham Coles published in book form thirteen translations of this remarkable production. I propose to give one of these, and shall make some extracts from his introduction: “The author of ‘Dies Ira?’ is Thomas, of Cel- Igliililll, Personal.

Brother A. Mayo, of Camp Spring Council, has organized a new council at Tennill. The Grand Worthy Primate has also taken the field. The United Friends of Temperance move on rapidly. Owing to the sickness of the Grand Scribe United Friends of Temperance, the matter for that Order is short this week. The supplementary ritual of the United Friends has been sent out to the councils. It is pro nounced a fine thing by experienced “ritual ists.” The Order of United Friends of Temperance grows in numbers steadily, and is now in a bet ter condition than ever before. Eight or ten councils have been add’ed to the list. Every community should have a council. For infor mation address W. E. H. Searcy, Griffin, Ga.

We hope to do better next quarter.” Brother Blalock writes from Fayetteville: “Our lodge is getting on very well. We have not had to expel any one as yet, and only one to re-obligate. ” Brother Zimmerman writes from Greensboro: “We have seventy-two members in good stand ing, and while we are not doing much during the bad weather, we are holding our own.

Office R.W. Grand Sec'y, I.O.G.T. Napanee, Ontario, Canada, Feb. 12, 1875. S. C. Bdbinson, G. 11 ’. S. of Georgia: I have much pleasure in informing you that on the twenty-ninth (lav of September last, the Rev. B. J. Westbrooke organized a Grand Lodge in New Zealand, to be called the Grand Lodge of New Zealand, South of Cook’s Strait. S. P. An drews, of Christ's Church, is G.W.C.T., and W. T. C. Mills, of the same place, is G. \Y. S. Our friends in Australia would be much pleased to hear from G. W. Secretaries on this side of the Atlantic and Pacific. Active, energetic and good men have been commissioned by our R. W. G. T., Col. Hickman, to work in Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas, who will soon have a sufficient num ber of lodges organized to charter Grand Lodges, which we believe will be done ere our next ses sion, by our Right Worthy Templar in person. Brother E. S. Yeo, D.D.R.W.G.T., of Imperial Naval College, Tokei, Japan, writes cheeringly, and reports to me one lodge with one hundred and thirty-nine members, with other lodges doing a good work. A very wealthy and influ ential tea merchant had joined their lodge, and many of the missionaries are joining. He writes that soon the Japanese will take hold of the work, and thousands will join. I hope our brothers and sisters will forward to brother Yeo, to the above address, all the literature they can spare to assist him in his glorious work. Brother Rev. Ralph Scott, our agent at Dur- bane, Natal, South Africa, writes that the work in his Province is gaining ground, and we soon hope to have a Grand Lodge in his Province. Any temperance literature you can spare would aid him. MILITARY AND FLOATING LODGES. Still the work is progressing amongst the sol diers in the army of the United States, and on the war ships of England. If we could organize lodges in each camp and on all these ships, they might soon make pruning-hooks of their swords, and war between these two nations (whose influ ence is felt, feared and respected throughout the world,) would he known no more and forever. Sister M. B O’Donnell, General Superinten dent of the Juvenile Templars, is anxious to ex tend her work. Kindly aid her. She keeps a good stock on hand; buy from her; send out more agents to organize juvenile lodges, and soon our subordinate lodge rooms will be too small to contain the numbers that will seek ad mission. She has successfully spent a few days in Canada lecturing lately, and has stirred the hearts of the Canadians to greater zeal and ac tivity in this work. Her terms are moderate, and she will allow all sums realized by her to be appropriated towards paying her salary. Can- idly.
