A kind friend to humanity furnishes
us with the following remedy lor dip

so prevalent.

Should any of your family be attack

performed while the patients of others
were dropping on both sides. The reme

he took with him was powder of sul

can walk about in it, inhaling the fun

any time and is recommended in cases

For the Household.
Amiable Sisters: —What a power
feeling” there is in the
“Household,” and what a time some of
us have had in our <#orts to work it off
on someone else, and that too without
regard toßpnsequences. A considerable
portion h* been worked off i di
rection, but I am happy to inform you
that no one is “crushed.” While it was
coming with such force I thought
I would never open my mouth
here again, nor attempt to assist anoth
er sister in any work that ftie felt her*
duty to perform for the welfare of the
“Household Department,” but upon
reflection have concluded that such a
course would not mend matters much,
therefore, “Peggy,” I would have an
swered your question about the flannel
under-wear, but “Mrs. 11. S.” our most
\\ ide-awake t# every call, and ever
ready with a helping hand sister, was
too quick for me. You see, I live a
long way Mt and ean’t be as prompt as
jsome otlierS My reason for the few
Jrords of caution, that yon thought
Proper to resent, was just this—l have
seen the clothing of little children made
up almost entirely of puffs, ruffles,tucks
and trimming, while the hard working
fathersof these same children were in—
well in condition too heart-rending to
be exposed here—heart-rending to the
doting mother who labored unceasingly
for twenty-one years to make of their
loved sons nice men for society, kind
husbands for the girls, and useful chris
tia ns for the churches, communities,
and all other positions in life for man.
And Peggy, it is the “love for mother”
and Christian heart that keeps some of
these sons of grief stricken mothers
from bar-rooms and other tempting
places when neglected by those they
have taken to their hearts to make the
light ef their homes and lives. While
I like to see little children look beauti
ful, I also like to see their fathers look
like gentlemen; but they can’t look so
when theiiywives neglect them, norjdo
they always act like gentlemen, as ev
erybody knows. Now, while this is
true, I would not have you think that
I blame women for all the bad conduct
of man.
Beatrice No. 2, (aside) we must not
“let on” that we are offended at the
manner in which our names have been
used here, for if we do some people may
rejoice at our expense. When I heard
of the able and feeling manner in which
“Mrs. 11. S.” handled your case, I felt
sorry and ashamed for having treated
your “trouble” so lightly as to insinuate
that jour husband was a “disappointed
office seeker,” but at that time I had a
good deal of surplus feeling to be work
ed oft' on someone, and you happened
to be the first one that came a long. I
the time ever comes that you are called
a -‘man” during a “political campaign,’’
I think then you will be able to pardon
me. And while I may not be consider
ed capable by wiser heads, of giving
“unprejudiced advice,” I still hold to
the opinion that the very best plan for
wives to manage their husbands, is to
jvrore to them th.it they are “held in hon
or” at home,” just the sum and sub
stance of my advice to you as you know.
‘‘Sympathizer,” now don’t allow the
treatment that you received here while
there was so much surplus feeling on
hand to deprive h of the light of yourj
presence. 1 11.. • \ :hat whin all the
elections are ov,.>„ there will be harmo
ny in tlu* Household again; and then
you i|pt come in and “light the
wives to manage their powers
of attraction;” when these are proper- ;
ly managed, husbands are so well man
aged that they are to get ontof
tfceir;places.

“Mrs. H. S.” we have succeeded so
well in creating a stir in the “House
hold Department,” that I am about to
conclude that it is our duty to make
an effort to get up one in the “Tem
perance§Department.” It seems that
we are just right in our “physical and
mental make up for just such work.
What do you think about it ? Now if
1 knew the name of the ruler ofc that
Department, 1 would be sure to say to
ldm: “Mr. , wake up, yet to your post
of duty, and let your light so shine as to
guide the wanderers home again. It is
true, I might have another shower of
surplus feeling worked oft on my head,
but I have been accustomed to such
showers ever since I learned that “an
ounce of preventive is worth a (pound
of cure.” Some peopie had rather have
the pound than the ounce, and, that’s
the trouble with them. I am of the
opiufcpn that if all thft “young folks’’

the deep tangled wildwootj. wuh other
country lessees in searcleof muscadines,
grapes, grasses and crab apples. As
we wended our way through the woods*
we found ourselves# involuntarily re
peating those lines *
“The melancholy days have come,
wtm The the year.”
For on every hand the verdue ‘of
summer is fast givii# way to the gor
geous ness of autumn.
The ash and hickory throw out their
banner of crimson and gold, the many
lined maple and russet leafed oak trees
send out mudhil whisperings on the
still air. Above the brown fields and
rich woods, the merry birds have hush
ed their songs, adding much to the
quiet that reigns around, and over all
comes the purple haze known only in
our autumns which heightens their
beauty by partially concealing it. With
joyous hearts we returned well laden
with autumnal Will tell tty
sisters desire it liow we make
pretty wreaths of the grasses to hang
up in our rooms in winter.
“Talker,” I did not mean by asking if
you were not a man to offend you or to
provoke such a lecture from on the
political depravity of all tty men of
the present’day except “Old bachelor”
and why he should be an excep!io% to
your sweeping denunciations, I can
not tell unless it be that you are an old
maid. lam glad to say that I knowjof
some men in politics now (not old bach
elors either) who are the highest types
of Christian character and who would
not stoop to conquer in a political con
test.
The thorough knowledge of farming
you evinced in your excellent talk some
time ago to the Household was the
principal reason that led me to think
you a man; a knowledge which few la
dies possessed thonah accustomed to
the farm. Now, “T Jker” if you will
just excuse me this time for thinking
you a man I promise never to think so
again, even though you should appear
in the Household in gentlemen’s attire.
“Determined,” will you allow me to say
I think sister Peggy’s views of your
trouble is quite the right one for you to
take? Moping seemsAo be constitu
tional with some natußs, and I think
it better to let thejp mope it out than
to be experimenting with uncertain re
sults. If you had accepted the nom
of “Crushed” so kindly offered by “Be
atrice No. 1,” it would have been only
suggested to my mind of crushed sugar,
as I believe you are as sweet and useful
in your home as that article of commer
ce is in general.
Peggy, I too fell in love with that
gem of a poem “A Model Farm and
Home.” Thank “I. D. S.” in the name
of Octavia for its composition and pub
lication. It will find a special place in
my scrap book. I anxiously await di
rection for rick rack.

Dear Household.—This beautiful
weather is so inspiriting that I can
just rush a head wittyny worf and as
soon as I get settled <wn to sewing I
feel like I want to ta A somebody. As
it is not always soJrhat I can either
take my work wiUpme or leave it un
done. I can’t rWn off and talk to a
neighbor, so I .have adopted the plan of
sewing very fast for awhile and* then
stopping enough fora little chat
with I confess to feel
ing sonpwhat intimidated at
but uorto the extent of being silenced.
Ml “Sympathizer” and “Beatrice
’ not to be offended with me for
lin speaking, but I am afraid they
.in-, il so I am ready and willing to make
most sincere apology and trust that it
quite satisfactory. If I knew
either or both, or was certain of
knowing them, I would be tempted
to travel several miles to tender my re
grets in person. fMjtonly object in writ
ing my sentiments was to try to meet
the case
gvhat T
but will make the venture. I think
“Talker” very simple in the main but
her “modus operandi,” I fear’ would
fail with some husbands- I think
“Trustful” like Sympathizer should lie
very thankful for being blessed with an
exceptionally happy married life. lam
not a very old woman and have lived
very closely at home, but 1 have seen
enough of the world to know that very
few women le they as pious and goodaa
any that live, can say after twel^PNfl
ot married life that all that life was of
unclouded sunshine even if their hus
bands were#>f the best. 1 tell you my
sister, human nature is the same, the"
world over and it is an exceptionally*
sweet that never yields to the
temptation to speak a cross or any an
gry word to even the best beloved. And
here 1 will say to Janet’s query as to
why women shouid strive to make their
personal appearance as attractive to
their husbands as they did to their lov
ers, simply because husbands are not
the same to them as their lovers Mere,
and because they were not the same as
wives that they were f sweethearts.
Then, as happy girls awaiting the Join
ing of their lovers they ministeredjo no
higher more, important need, than pleas
ant en tertainment of their lovers for a
passing licAr; but as wives, there were
higher duties awaiting them, and duties
that often would interfere with any at
tempt at personal adornment. The
wife must be a companion to her hus
band. She must be a sharer of his la
bors and sorrows as well as of his pleas
urs; she must be the faithful mother of
liis children and many times do services
that will rob her cheek of its bloom, but
if well performed will give her an added
charm in his eyes that will far outweigh
personal adornments and will and^ r the
furrows of age. I merely suppofld “De
termiued” to be one of the
we meet in every day life and whose ex
perience in married life had nothing
practical or romantic about it therefore I
thought she needed only practical ad|
I think “Trustful” not very praS
tical. Il%w did she manage to cr <
face flashed from heat while cooking in
|ime to serve her husband’s meals with
the promptness that the busy men of our
day must have? Jpid she always have a
white rose to hand or was it necessary
to visit a bush to get one? Who wash
ed the little childrens faces and put
clean aprons on them that they might
eat with their father without destroying
his appetite while the wife who was am
bitious to look pretty herself in his eyes
was arranging that coiffure ? Does
Trustful takeit for granted that “Deter
mined” has a piano or knows how to
play on one if she had it? Why my
sister many of us could not sing a love
song or a comic, if it would keep our
husbands\ut of the lunatic asylum with
which one of the sisters tries to fright
en moping husbands? Now sister
“Trustful” don’t again accuse meof try
ing to “redicule” these tilings. Indeed
i t is far from me to redicule any harm
less or pure sentiment or sentimental-
wish to impress on the minds
sisters that it is highly
important for us to gain practical knowl
edge. That ami that alofie will serve us
in thAfe woflnng days for Southern
housewives. I agree with I. D. S. in
that delicious little poem that “Peggy’ ’
probably has adopted the wisest course
when she resolves to “jusfc let him
mope;” particularly if begets over it so
nicely as docs her husband. I must say
to be candid about the matter and that
if I can do or say anything on the subs
ject of managing husbands that will aid
anybody else it is more than I have ev
er done myself, for I can’t manage my
liege lord half the time and it takes us
both to manage the children, so you
needn’t attach any great importance to
anything. I have my opinions and am
too glib in expressing them,
but I will say I will believe ‘‘Aunt
Ann” is an old maid because she preach
ed so in the favor of the men in her
last. I wouldn’t dare say so I didn’t be
believe lam out of her reach excep
through three columns. I trust we
shall hear more and often from “Jack
o‘Lantern. r |Like his orignal he shines in
dark places with best advantage; for
what can you imagine to be darker than
the depths of the pockets of a penunious
man? We certainly trust he will suc
ceed in Jjghtiiig up the way to give Dr.
Potter’s sermon to the women of our
and other communities and if a small
bill will help him out enough to do any
good; I have one which I am saving for
the purpose.
