Questions relating to the home will be aniwered by our edltrcaa] Who can atlylse A. II. B. what to tio and bow to do it? Firat item is: ???mind your atopa." Next, do not aay "*0" to yonr farm banda but ??????come;" and keep an eye on them. Overteereare important alwaye and often neceaeary. We adyiaa A. H. 11. to plant cur- ran# hedge* and raaberry Tinea. Driod cur- ranta are alwaya in demand. Small fruits and yegelablee and berries can be cultivated by any woman and be preserved in many way* ao aa to furnish delicious winter food as well aa seasonable dishes in summer. tVhat we save and utilize, rather than wbat we make, is ibo lestof our ability to becomeself-suataln ing. Many little rills coming together make rivers. Suppose A. H. B. cultivates this year email patch of onions, another of ground peas, some popcorn and sun-flowers. Onions will keep and are easy to sell; ground-peas and pop-corn are always sought after by school-children; sun-flower seed will fatten pigs and fowls, so tbs agricultural editor says One man, in a suburban village near At lanta, makes tomato ketchup of such good flavor that be cannot meet the demand for it. Why cannot women manufacture sauced and condiments and vincgerof such excellence and purity that grocers will stop importing adulterated, poisonous goods and ???patronise home industries" ? Apples, peaches, figs grapes, cherries and currants can be dried by expending time and a boy???s activity on long summer afternoons. A. H. B. might have fish-pond, some silk worms and bee hive. In a multitude of experiments she will certainly strike her talent on something. The preparation of ammonia recommended by Ihe contributor this week Is also beneficial in bathing aa it corrects the unpleasant results of heat and perspiration In summer. Strong spirits of ammonia should be kept in evory kitchen, on. a high sholf, to wash greasy dishes, clothes and tables. A solution of borax will clean painted wood. The am monla often removes paint. A tablespoon full in a quart of warm water is strong enough. A linen mop with a wooden handle should be used to wash dishes and all utensils of the kitchen and dairy. Hot water and soapy preparations are unpleasant and In jurious to the hands and should not be, al lowed to touch them. We have visited a woman who cooked, milked and churned and kept soft, white shapely bands. Abe used mops U her kitchen and washed her hands always with castile soap and never plunged them in hot water. When a convenient liquid res lily deans upour kitchen with such trifling outlay of strength and time who would sigh for a return to Ihe days of ???lye soap" and sand and ???elbow-grease???? What slaves to cleanliness woman kind must have been ta coioui <1 times! One early American writer leils us that our robust ancestors, hav ing nothing painted and no carpets nor lam brequins, scrubbed and paddled so constantly to keep their bouses and furniture clean that chairs and floors and shelves wore out and the Industrious mothers became web-footed. And who knows but then originated the fashion of calling exemplary wives ???dear little ducks"? Who Can Help "A. II. DV ??? In your ?????? Womans Kingdom" you kindly ask all women and girls a ho are trying to make a living, to write and exchange views, lam greatly In need of advice and sympathy too, aud would be very thankful if some of the ???Home circle" would tell me what to do. Mother and I live on a small farm, which is rented out, and gives us a support. We are not extravagant, but we need so many things which our limited Income does not allow. We tbluk we must have the "Cognnvnoit," but where is the money to come from? At your suggestion I named one old hen for the paper, nut the walks around, and re fuses to lay a single egg. I havo tried to raise chickont, but the hawkscaughttbemall, and that didn't pay. After reading your articles on corn and cotton, we concluded not to plant cottoo, but raise corn and clover. The clover did well, but a lot of tboae long, lean, lank animals that l)r. Leland tells about, got under a water gate and totally destroyed our patch of ten acres in corn, so we have very little corn. I had a small patch in cotton that 1 had hoed myself; it did splendidly,aud I began to feel rich. At all the farmers were laying by their crops, I bind a negro to plough over mv cotton. After he bad got the horse and plow all fixed to suit him, and had piowod in iho garden a while, l said to him; ???Dick, now go plough that cotton, tip on the hill yonder." 1 thought lie took a K ' while, and after be had gone home I wal up to see how nicely it was done: and lo, aud behold! be had actually ploughed every stalk of that ootton uo; and alii could do was to si' down in that demolished cotton patch and ???ruminate." I iiave a great taucy tor cows, making nice butler, eo when I read wbat Ur. Urady said about the great demand for butter, and the ???Georgia cow to the front," concluded to go into the dairy business; but not having the money to buy Jerseys, 1 got four calves, and I have been waiting a year for them to grow. They are now four years old and not much farger than a dug, and after eating up all Ihe hay and straw on the place, they are standing around looking like Pharaoh's kine. So my dairy don't get on very fast. I might teach, but there are more teaoberi than pupils about here, and we are not near enough to market to sell vegetable* or fruit So now can???t some of you tell me what to do? Yours truly, *A. H. B Another Letter From Censlanre. Coming in from some out door duty at the quiet bqur 'tween tbs gloamlu' and the mirk to-night, 1 found my oetter two-thirds in a low rocker near the hearth on which some kindlibcsof rich pine Were biasing and mak ing a soft light and a pleasant fragrance in the room. It developed that an accident had disabled our usual source of ligut and, while he waited for another lamp, my supply of "light wood" bad been taken from th* closet and laid on the altar of masculine impatience and extravagance. He looked up with a peacemaking smile and vaid, ???Connie, how would you lit* to depend on such a light aa this to darn and crochet and read by in niece of our steady-blazing lamp???? ???It yonr closet to-morrow." Bo saying my good- humored lord proceeded to dispose of him self for en hour oy opening bis pet journal under the clear soft ray* of another student lamp while I sat muting over the black and smoky coal* dying on the hearth, What happy children had romped in blind man s buirand puas-ln-the-eorner while speb primi tive illumination as my splinter* had afford ed brightened the room. How many of the little playfellows who have gone from the safe old fireside with its flinkering red flames to mingle in places where bright the lamps shins o???er fair women and brave men, but would gladly spend this evening with a coun try graodfatber wbo placidly smoke* on one corner of his hearth while the grandmother knits busily on the other side. Since I be gan to think nbont the advantages of pine knots over gas ieisft ha* occurred lo me that country boys and girls have so much quiet leisure on winter night* and summer after noons that it is not strange they should ac complish so much work and become so well informed. The last evening I spentat such a farm house was in a cosy little sitting room where a large family-lather, mother and ???unlit children sat around the biasing wood fl,o and read papers aud knitted lace and Blockings. There was an orgnd 'in the room on wiiich several members of tbs family could play; one table was full of school books, another was given up to stacks of weekly pa pers which had been carefnliy read and smoothly f.ddid away until aome rainy day should afford lime to cat them up for scrap books. I looked through several of their scrap books and was surprised at tnegood taste and intelligence of the girls who bad grown up on thefarm and only one of whom had ever ???been olT to school." The sweet faced mother, though looking young and beautiful with a coutented and happy heart, Mt (iifooed Jo a big iru) cbftir free to knit countless socks ol all aorta and sizes, while her rosy young daughters presided over the stove and sewing machine and kept house in moat thoroughly nest and comfortable fash ion. Now my fragrant kindlings are cold and it It lima to subdue my light and finish my dreams in the land of Nod; but before I go I would like to ask for letters from some farmer girls wbo find time to read and make pretty tbinga for their rooms though no light of argand burners atreaius into tbeir nigbtly hours. . I???lease do not agree with the naughty man who has peeped over my shoulder with real boyish rnalico and laughed out, ???Connie,wbat do you take when you get ao light-headed ami indulge In anoh flighty fanolea? To which wicked thrust I remain severely silent and pity the unfortunate mortal who lias never enjoyed winter evenings befoto a roue ing country fire. Yours faithfully, Cohstaxci. OUR YOUNG FOLKS.

She does not care tor her personal appearance, and do* not dress half to neatly as her servants. She walks out plessant afternoons twice or tbrtco a week, and while alwaya accompanied ala respectful distance by a strung man-servant, ihe looks so commonplace that not one of the multi tude are aware that aba la the richest widow in the world. Mrs. Stewart alwaya carries goodly-sized coins for beggars. Mias Welle differs from Mra.Stawsrt lo this respect.

In the city of Atlanta the saloons take in in three days more money than is spent in one day to feed the entire city. In other words, for every dollar spent for food in this city there is thirty-five cents spent for liquor. The feeling in favor of prohibition is grow ing constantly and rapidly. It is probable tbat an attempt will be made (o prohibit the sale of liquor in the city except in a circle of a quarter of a mile from the central depot. 0??*ce driven within this limit, tho license will be made very much higher, and finally iquor will be driven out altogether. A square fight will be made on liquor in Cobb county, one of the largest counties in Georgia, on March 5tb, and the temperance men are cjnfident and active. PROHIBITION IN KANSAS. We have shown tbat prohibition works ad mirably in Georgia, in 8outh Carolina, and in Maine, We submit this week evidence of what if has done in Kanbas, in which state there is a general prohibitory law. We print two accounts. The first writer says: That prohibition is becoming a success in Kansas, I am finally forced to admit. The law went into force May 1,1881, and I arrived a few days before that time and have watched its progress ever since. Having had some experience as prorecuting attorney in Indiana! 1 thought I foresaw tbe difficulties which would arise here in enforcing the law, vix.: that- witnesses would not testify tho truth and that juries would disagree. Iu this I was not disappointed. Numerous prosecutions were Drought; witnesses would prevaricate, juries wrangled, and finally discharged without a verdict. Numerous and perp'exing law points would arise and would be taken to the supreme court for settlement. All this consumed time and engendered no little feeling against the law, even by those who had supported it with their ballots. It was talked that tbe expense was too great for the amount of good the law was doing. Saloons in tho large towns re mained opened in violation of law and order, aud. I migotsav, persuasion Of course, the profits of the suluuus iu small towns were not sufficient to warrent them in taking chances switnst prosecutions, dud hence they closed. Of those temperance men, who at the elec tions had talked and manufactured sentiment against the law on the ground that it was a failure, a larger per cent came rushing over to tbe temporauce people and declared tbat in temperance must be throttled and put down. This sentiment spread to such au extent that convictions became easy and it was not diffi cult to get juries to bring in verdicts ???accord ing to the law and tbe evidence." Tue ball has been kept rolling until now the saloons are actually closed, those in the cities of Topeka nod Wichita having ciosed tbeir doors a few days ago. On the door of one is posted this notice: "Prohibition do*s prohibit." The mayor of the City of Topeka undercook to shield tbe saloons by allowing them to remain derstandinc Morris Station, Clajtsn county Ua., Feb. 16, *884 Mrs. Lydia Powell, of Montgomery, Ala., writes us of two brave young boys, Master Pritchett Pow ell, of UsyuckViUe, and Master Henry Sanders, of Morganvlllc, Ala., who have been supporting them selves by bard mauuri labor sluce tney were seven and ten ye.trs old.

The people submitted to such action a while, bat t finally became too odious and they refused to tolerate it, and began clamoring in more wavs than one for the mayor's bead, and he resigned. A week or two ago they elected, by a good majority, another mayor, who was Icaown to favor ihe enforcement of the law. Tbe election cat no poli'icsl figure???the only- issue being Saloons vs. Temperance Temper ance won; and now the city is free from saloons and drunken broils, and it looks as though tbe temperance people were in the ascendency all over the atato. The other writer ssya: I.AwasRcx, Kansas, February 0.???Pro- hibiiion is a success in Kansas. There is very little whisky sold in the state, and the temperance canae is gaining strength every day. I have been through and through the state this winter and I am surprised and de lighted at tbe good results. Wntaky is some times to be seen here in bottles. It Is some times seen in the hands of low-browed, disso lute young men who consider!! smart to defy the law. They will hold it up, gather In groups around It, laugh at the law, gel drunk, and the police will take them off to the stationbouse or jail. In tbe morning they are wiser and, without knowing it, they have f 'reached a temperance lecture to everybody n the depot or on tbe train. Ol coarse tem perance is the one question discussed here from morning till nignt. A Topeka landlord whose bar la closed, said yesterday; "This temperance movement la driving basinets oat of oar state. It is driving money away. Tbrea thousand dollars used to be paid out ovary day in Topeka for liquor.??? "But there wasn???t any more money inTo- >eka tbat night than there waa in the mom- ng," replied a thoughtful guest, "No,"said another man, ???forof that $3,000, 12 000 was sent right over to Peoria for more whisky. So Peoria got $2 000 out of Topeka, n fact, out of every dollar spent for whisky n Kansas, 00 cents always goes oat of the state, and tbe ether 40 cents goes to the idle vagabond who keeps the saloon." ???Bat if no whisky is made wbat will we do with our com?" naked tbe saloon man. It was then an old farmer got up and said: "If you saloon man think wa farmers are going to be ruined by not selling our corn for 30 cents a bushel to tbe Peoria distiller, who makes it into tbrea gallon! of whisky and sella it back to us for $5; if yon think our selling 30 cents worth of com and bnyfng hack $5 worth of whisky Is going to rain us, I tell yon we can stand inch ruin a good While.??? The argnment of these saloon men la a very weak one. If some one would burn up 300,- 000,000 bushels of com it would be considered a national calamity. Bat for distlilera to de stroy the com and make it into poison which sets men crazy, kills wives, starves children, and fills jails???why these saloon men call tbatavirtne.
