AT THE BABY’S BEDTIME
MEN’S HABITS DUE TO WOMEN.
This is baby’s bedtime;
My little one comes to me
In her snowy little nightgown,
And kneels down at my knee;
And I fancy a s*eet child-angel
Is for a time my guest,
As she says her little prayer over
With her hands upon her breast.
“Now I lay me,” she whispers
In low voice, “down to sleep ;
I pray the Lord,”—and the blue eyes
Half close—“ray soul to keep.
If I should die”—Oh ! the shiver
At my heart!—“before I wake
I pray the Lord”—and the eye-lids
Droop low—“my soul to take.”
Then I lift up the little one, clasping
Her close to my loving heart,
And give her warm, good-night kisses
Till the closed lids break apart
As the leaves do, folding a flower,
And the violets of her eyes
Look up in their drowsy fashion,
And smile at me, angel-wise.
“Dood night,” she whispers to me softly.
And sleepily, with a kiss
That lingers with me in slumber,
And stirs my heart with bliss,
As I think of the little one dreaming
With her head against my breast,
Till my sleep is as full of rapture
As her dreaming is of rest.
A Man is What His Wife and Sisters
Make Him.
For the Housewife’s Eye.
The immense advance in health and
cleanliness which has been effected in
recent years by sanitary plumbing
leaves very little to be desired. One
can look back with horror to the old-
time kitchen-sink, with its rusty iron
basin and closed in pipes, an easy rest
ing-place for rubbish of every kind,
and too often dripping with the refuse
of the neglected sink or defective
plumbing arrangements. There are no
stow-away places under the sink now- !
From the New York Herald.
Some one has said, “Tell me what a
man eats and I will tell you what sort of
a man he is.” I should say, on the other
hand, “Tell me what a man eats and I
will tell you what sort of a woman his
mother or wife is.”
For it is a fact beyond question that
what a man eats depends entirely upon
his home education. So if a man goes
into a restaurant, as I noticed one do
the other day, and orders some raw
oysters, which he covers with vinegar,
and then drinks a glass of milk, while
another man at his side orders a lob
ster salad and a plate of buckwheat
cakes, of course some woman, either
wife or mother, is to blame, and must
be held responsible for such living gas
tronomic curiosities or monstrosities in
culinary taste. It is far easier to tell
what sort of women presided over these
men’s homes than to tell about the men
themselves.
Had these men been educated at
home in the arts and habits of good
living they would have known how and
what to eat elsewhere. It should be the
duty of every woman to educate her
self thoroughly in all the matters of the
household. She should know at what
time of the year certain foods are in
season. She should provide her table
with the best the market affords, for
the best is always the cheapest
There are a thousand and one ways
in which a woman may become a home

brains and tact can make a gen-

adays. The plumbing is no longer a j t ] eman out of a boor, and can make
thing to be ashamed of and concealed bis home so delightful and so interest-
in a dark box. It must be so well done, j jug a place that he will prefer it to all
the joints so carefully joined, that it ! places
now becomes an ornamental display of F if men go outside and make them-
good workmanship that may be fully
exposed in every part to the light of
the day, and is no longer a thing of
darkness and danger. It was an im
mense advance in sanitation when we
did away with all coverings around
the plumbing pipes. The old-fashion
ed pipes were actually expected to drip
at times, and there was usually a lead
en protection over the floor to prevent
its rotting from this cause. All this is
done away with by the modern pipes.
Few things will attract the admiration
of the true housewife so much as the new
kitchen sinks, which are made of 11011-
absorbent porcelain or glazed earthen-
selves offensive it is because they have
not had proper education at home. If
women in the lower walks of life would,
occasionally suggest to their sons or
husbands that it was not just the thing
and not at all nice to stretch their feet
all over the cars so a woman has to
wipe her skirts against their boots in
passing, it might do something toward
remedying the evil.
All women should remember when
they find fault with men’s habits in
public that in nine cases out of ten a
woman is to blame and responsible for
them, for she has permitted such prac
tices in her own house and has failed

are nickel-plated. The sink itself has
no woodwork about it. The rim is
simply rounded and the two iron legs
on which it rests are set back, so that
they do not thrust themselves into the
room like the ordinary curved legs of
the iron sink. The back of the sink is
generally made of native marble.
These sinks are finished with ivory
white porcelain glaze inside and buff
on the outside, or with brown glaze
throughout. There is no paint about
them, and there is 110 substance that
will absorb water, grease or odors.
A very useful and somewhat less ex
pensive style of sink is covered with
brown earthenware glaze and finished
in the same way. Perfect sanitation
and complete cleanliness may be assur
ed from such a sink. Where there is
the slightest woodwork about a sink
this is next to impossible. The
wood is apt to rot from the contin
ued moisture, and worse than all, it
may become a lurking place for that
familiar and loathsome denizen of so
many New York kitchens, the Croton
bug. With the plumbing exposed as
it now is, and the woodwork done
away with, there are very few lurking-
places left for this pest, which may
not be reached by boiling water. The
wainscoting of woodwork which build
ers formerly put around the kitchen is
objectionable in every way. It forms
the most convenient resting-place for
kitchen vermin of every kind, In
many of the handsomest kitchens this
wainscoting of wood is now superseded
by a dado of tiling. Where this is
objectionable on account of expense,
it is far better to finish the kitchen
with plaster down to a base-board of
ordinary width. Some of the new
cements used in place of the old-time
plaster are much harder and do not
crumble as the plaster did at the rough
usage it received in the kitchen. To
prevent such a kitchen wall from be
ing soiled, it is well to paint the lower
part of it a darker and more substantial
color than would be cheerful for any
other part of the room.
[Written specially for Thanksgiving number of
Sunny South.]
For life with all its glorious things,
For all the present’s blessings sweet,
For all the promised future brings,
For all the past dropped at our feet;
For garners filled with golden grain.
For broad fields white with fleecy snow,
For all the good, for all the gain,
“ Praise-God from whom all blessings flow.”
Praise God, but not with empiy song,
Nor organ pea 1 , nor long-drawn prayer;
Go lead some soul from paths of wrong,
Lift from some heart its load of care:
Kiss off the tears from some sad eyes,
Seek out and comfort wan distress.
Help some poor fallen brother rise,
And thus proclaim thy thankfulness.
Dearer to Him who for us cares,
One homeless wand’rer warmed and fed,
Than all the anthems and the prayers
That ever have been sung or said;
For not with lips is love expressed,
The deep, true love that never ends ;
He thanks God best who uses best
The bounty that His kindness sends.

[From Farm Poultry, November, 1892.]
When for no man an egg we lay,
How thankful we should be,
If three good meals we get each day,
How thankful we should be,
That on the day when all give thanks,
We’re left to “ dust ” on sunny banks,
While the turkey's neck our master yanks,
How thankful we should be.
When we don’t lay at this time of year,
How thankful we should be,
If our mistres> says to her “ It’s clear,”
How thankful we should be,
“ That she believes to make hens pay
In their morning mash most every day
She will put a powder to make them lay,”
How thankful we should be.
That she knows the best, and reason why,
How thankful we should be.
And on her judgment we rely,—
How thankful we should be.
For, “ nothing on earth will Make Hens Lay
Like Sheridan's Powder by the way,—
If with us hens it's come to slay,
How thankful we should be.
So here’s long life to Sheridan's Powder;
How thankful we should be;
If we could cackle it even louder
How thankful we should be.
That with a large one dollar can
We pleased the most exacting man.
As nis egg-basket overran
How thankful we should be.
Dear Household:
I do not know why it is, yet Novem
ber always makes me want to scribble.
Tome it is the sweetest, saddest, dream
iest, loveliest mouth in all the year. In
November, faces long vanished again
smile upon me; memories long buried
again haunt me; resolutions half for
gotten are re-resolved, and I always
long and study and strive and begin to
be better in each November. I reckon
it is because I see the shadow of the
new year peering through the cracks
of December, and I try to retrieve some
of my wasted, golden opportunities be
fore the “old year lies a-dying.” My
birthday is in this same month. Long
years ago I had a friend whose natal
day and mine were the same. I prom
ised him then that I would always ded
icate the day to thoughts of him, and
although time has changed me from a
laughing child to a thoughtful woman,
a certain day in November is known
to my inmost heart as St. Robert’s day.
I wonder if R. L, R., of Davidson Col
lege, N. C., class of ’83, is still alive,
and if he remembers his friend of “long
ago,” the shrewish Katharine with
whom he had so many word tilts in the
“«olden days of yore” ?
It is strange what- a world of memo
ries the perusal of an old letter will re
vive. To-day it has been raining mo
notonously, and being wearied with
books and sewing I wandered oft to ex
plore the mysteries of an old closet in
my childoodd’s home. I have been
away for a year, and wanted to air my
possessions. In my search I came across
a little rosewood writing desk, in which
I always kept my letters. Some of my
old letters, tied with a “knot of ribbon
blue,” I found just where I had placed
them years ago. As I look at the dates
I realize how time has flown and how
my friends have departed. I have just
begun to feel that I am a woman. For
the last year or two I have been much
among strangers; always meeting
strange faces and acquiringnew friends.
I never realized that I was older until
my return to the home of the past and
noted the changes there. I am chang
ed but slightly—the face which smiles
at me from the mirror is a little less
childish, a trifle more dignified, but
from the eyes a happy, hopeful spirit
looks out—a spirit that looks not mourn
fully upon the past, but is willing and
eager to press on to the life that is
ahead.
I have learned not to grieve over the
vexations of the hour—the cares and
disappointments of to-day. Such
things are too trapsitory to mar our
joy,and to cast a gljkom on those around.
“Be happy yourself and make others
so,” is my latest rn|>tto, and I am try
ing to live up to it. What though my
old time friends should vanish, and I
should grow to be “the last leaf upon
the tree” ? The flowers and sunshine
still remain, and in this world of roses
and chrysanthemums who could be
dull? Each chirping sparrow and each
fragrant zephyr whispers to me: “Be
joyful, little woman, for we are yours,
and we love you. Old-time friends
have forgotten you; forget them and
live for those who now surround you.
Do the duty of to-day—kiss the tear-
stained face and brush away the tan
gled curls of the little child who comes
to you for comfort; cheer the declining
years of your aged father; make home
bright for the handsome young brother
who comes to you when the day’s work
is over; make the dainty dishes for the
family table; work in your flower gar
den ; speak the kind word to the pass
ing wanderer. Do these little acts, lit
tle woman. There’s a place in the world
for you—fill it.
I love to live. The dreariest day that
comes briugs happiness to me—no
hour passes that does not fill me with
the joy of living; and now that Cleve
land is elected I am unusually happy.
I am a housekeeper and the hour
grows late, so I must hasten away and
give orders for our evening meal.
Long ago I made frequent visits to
the Household, but never before have
I called myself “ Little Auntie.”

Dear Sir—After having worn one of your artificial
legs with rubber foot for more than fifteen years, I
have no hesitation in saying that it is the best leg in
use, as it is simple and the most durable of any I
have ever seen. I have worn five different makes
since 1862,and
find none as
useful as
yours. I can
heartily rec
ommend the
rubber f o ot
as the most
durable and
easy to han
dle. I am a

ses. I have
dug wells
and quarried
stone and
other hard
work. I can
walk farther
in a given
time than
any man can
on any other
kind of a leg
with the same
engthof
stump as mine; it is only three inches from hip joint.
Yours truly,
