THE SOUTHERN WORLD, JtJLY 16,1882. 11 hymbook; but then sister Mary has a new table cover, that makes things look brighter and different in some way, but why, he can not tell. Its cost was but a trifle too; it is only a square of wine-colored canton flan nel, with the edges turned under on the wrong side to the depth of three inches, and a border of bright-colored cretonne stitched on the right side. The lower edge of the border placed about three inches from the bottom. Then there was another one which would look well too; the top was a square of dark-red cloth cut to exactly fit the top of the table, and common crash fringed to the depth of three or four inches, with a vine of cloth-leaves put on with any funcy stitch just above the fringe, sewed to the top cover, hanging around the table making it ornamental as well as useful. What would be prettier, and tone down the stiffness of the room, than curtains like cousin Georgia’s of white cheese cloth, with lambrequins of bleached muslin, with a fringe of the crash. To be sure, they won’t last for ages, but who wants them too, they certainly do not cost much, and new ideas are springing up from all sides, on the sub ject of home decorations, and we want to be free to try our hand on something else. When aunt Prim had the pretty rag car pet woven, if she had cut up bright-red in grain carpet into carpet rags and sent a few pounds along to be woven on the end, a yard and a half long, it would have made a beau tiful rug to place before the grate. The manner of cutting is this: cut strips three inches wide across the width, then ravel out the edge on each side for an inch, leaving an inch of carpet in the center, sew these together, as any other carpet rags, and wind without twisting; it makes a bright, pretty rug, and is a good way to use up an old in grain carpet. All Japanese and Oriental trifles add brightness to a room as we well know, and should not be dispensed with in the bright ening up of a room. But there is so much home-made fancy-work, that is really pretty and unique in design, still gives one much pleasure and satisfaction in the making that any new ideas on the subject are always welcome. Many of the sisters less favored in the ability to originate designs are glad to receive and act upon the suggestions of others more deft in such handi-work, that we would suggest an interchange of ideas— how to brighten up a plain room with a little money and a large amount of ingenuity and taste. M. B. B. unearthing them make the moleskin more costly than the fur of the seal. Lady Braa- sey (what's in a name?) is the owner of the largest and most perfect moleskin sacque ever made. It contains over one thousand skins, and the price of 200 guineas, or more than one thousand dollars, has been offered for it.—Boiton Journal. Woman. She lies at the base of all life, whether good or evil. From Eden to Pendleton, woman is the first page of every history and every religion, and is the illuminated ini tial of every man’s life. Her power over man is the crown on the torture, the glory on the perdition of almost every career. Here is a beautiful homage in a certain sense: “Beware of woman! ” exclaimed a brilliant French writer, “if they do not crown you they will strangle you.” Yet reason can do but little against the force of beauty; the first impulse, the irresistible instinct of man’s nature is the homage of physical beauty. It has a mystic power that sweeps down all before it, the strongest and wisest. A French writer says, with eloquent extrav agance of his nation and idiom: “What can equal a woman’s beauty?” Nature made the planets and the stars—well enough in their way—and the flowers and the wav ing trees, and the red sunset’s crimsoning the ocean—very praiseworthy effects all of them, and evidences of a soul endowed with fine sensibilities; but to have invented woman, with the rose-tinted white of her complexion, her hair, her lips, her eyes, her hind, the marble roundness of her arm— this was beyond the power of nature, with all her skies and sunsets and stars. To cre ate woman required the genius of God. Beauty reigns without effort, charms with out trouble, fascinates without art. She simply lifts her veil, and male humanity falls at her feet. This is nn unfair advan tage, certainly, over the rest of the sex, but it is inevitable—a fixed degree of nature, Not with the resources of wealth and intel lect, of art and science, can less-favored wo man ever hope to achieve the triumph which beauty obtains at a single glance. Moleskin Sacques.—A meadow mole in the Journal window attracted the attention of moral circus folks. The mole's coat was large enough for a young doll’s sacque, and a very fashionable garment it would be, The latest “rage” in England among wealthy ladies of fashion is moleskin-sacques. The smallness of the mole and the difficulty of I If any of our readers desire full informa tion on the subject of Window Gardening (illustrated on the opposite page) let them send to Hiram Sibley A Co., Rochester, N. Y., for one of their catalogues which con tain all the practical details. There is a mountain puss in Switzerland over which the traveler is conducted blind folded. He might lose his footing if he caught but one bewildering glimpse of the chasm below. In like manner a wise love conceals from us those circumstances that might distract our attention from the imme diate line of duty, and withholds the know! edge that might occasion bewilderment and a fall. A vkry pretty and refreshing ornament for a room may be made out of an old sponge or a large cheap new one. Having dipped it in warm water, squeeze out one- half the fluid and put into the holes the seeds of millet, barley, cress, purslane, red clover, grasses and so on, according to taste. The seeds, however, should be such as will germinate easily and yield a variety of har monious colors in their leafage. Place the sponge thus seeded on a vase or hang it in a window, facing the sun. Sprinkle with water every morning during the week, and it will soon be green with vegetation. Thk duty of cheerfulness and content, of work and worship, ought to be enforced in the beginning of the spring-time brightness. The forces of regeneration are beginning to act throughout nature, and to enliven life with the stimulus of reaction after a long winter of rest under the lock and key of frost. Let us thaw out! Let the new season of growth be one that shall bear us beauti ful blossoms and wholesome fruit. Let us remember that culture and sunlight have to do with the fruits we bear, as well as those the trees produce. It is well to remember that our lives are not the only ones in the shadow—if they are—that suffering is con tagious, and we have no right to propagate the disease—that sorrow should be isolated and quarantined os soon as it appears, and that we have no right to add to the general gloom of displaying the pall which covers our dead. Let the dead bury their dead. When thou hast thanked thy God tor every blessing sent. What time will then remain for murmurs or lament? but do not disturb the sediment which set tles to the bottom of the first tub. Mix with this quantity 2 pounds of loaf sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved; flavor with tbs extract of ginger ale; color with burnt sugar, etc.; fill glass lemonade bottles with the usual quantity, adding to each bottle 2scru ples of crystal tartaric acid; drive in the cork immediately, and tie it down with wire in the usual way; in an hour, or as soon as the acid is dissolved, the ale is ready for use, and will open with a sharp report. Ginokr Birr.—Crush 12 ounces of the best ginger, and put it in a large tub; boil 8 gallons of wntcr and pour thereon; add 0 pounds best white sugar, 1 ounce cream of tartar, and 1 ounce tartaric acid; stir the whole up with a stick until the sugar is dis solved; allow to stand until milk warm, then add one-gill brewers yeast; stir this in; let it stand for twelve hours, or until a scum forms on the top, then drain it off clear by means of a tap about an inch from the bot tom of the tub; whisk the white of nn egg to a froth, and mix with a teaspoonful of the essence of lemon; strain through a flannel cloth and bottle and tie down. Hummer Drinks. The following are selected from a long list in The Confretioner: Lkmon Beer.—One pound sugar; 1 lemon sliced ; 1 teacupful yeast; 1 gallon boiling water; 1 ounce ginger, bruised. Let it stand twelve to twenty hours, after which it may be bottled. Hop Brer.—Four pounds sugar; water q s.; C ounces ginger, bruised. Boil the bops for three hours with five quarts of water, then strain; add 5 quarts more of water and the ginger; boil a little longer, again strain, add the sugar, and when lukewarm add pint of yeast. After twenty-four hours it will be ready for bottling. Corn Bker.—6 gallons water; 2 quarts molasses; 1 quart sound corn. Put all into into a keg and shnkewell; in a few days fermentation will have been brought on nicely as with yeast. Keep it bunged tight. It may be flavored wiili oil of lemon, etc. The corn will last five or six makings. If it gets too sour, add more molasses and water in the above proportions. This drink is cheap, healthy, and there is no better with yeast. Crram Soda without a Fountain.—Four pounds coffee sugar; 3 nutmegs, grated; pints water; whites of 10 eggs, well beaten 2 ounces oil lemon, or the equivalent of ex tract, or other flavor to suit; 1 ounce gum arable. Mix; place over a gentle fire, stirring well; remove, strain and divide into two parts. Into one part put 8 ounces bicarbon ate soda; into the other 0 ounces tartaric acid, shaking well. When cold, pour three or four spoonfuls from each into separate tumblers, one-third full of water; stir and |iour together. Ginger Ale.—Put 4 gallons of clear soft water into a clean cask or earthenware pan with u wooden tap inserted about an inch from the bottom; mix with this about 6 ounces of bicarbonate of soda, and allow it to stand 12 hours to settle; draw it carefully off into another tub by means of the tap, Goon Breeding, like charity, should be gin at home. The days are past when the children used to rise the moment the parents entered the room where they were and stand until they had received permission to sit. But the mistake is now made usually in the other direction and allowing the small boys and girls too much license to disturb the peace of the household. I think the best way to train children would be to obsorve towards them a scrupulous politeness, would go so far os to say that we should make it as much a point to listen to children without interrupting them and to answer sincerely and respectfully as if they were grown up. And indeed many of their wise, quaint sayings arc far better worth listen ing to than the stereotyped common places of most morning callers. Of course to al low uninterrupted chatter would be to sur render the repose of the household, but it is very easy if children are themselves scru pulous to respect the convenience of others, and to know when to talk and when to be silent.
