riety of ways. There is always sure to be some 
left in the dishes, and a careful housekeeper 
will be haunted for days by those scraps, or 
be aggravated by seeing the vegetables left 
over thrown into the waste tub. Now any 
cooked vegetables, with the addition of a little 
salad sauce, au anchovy or two. a few morsels 
of cavaire, or even the best parts of a bloater, 
will make a very fair imitation of Russian 
salad; or again, chopped fine, seasoned rather 
highly, and mixed with a little butter, orgood 
dripping and steamed or baked in a mould, 
they produce an appetizing macedoine. To 
dwellers in The country extra vegetables are 
not, such a loss; but, in towns a conscientious 
housewife does get worried by waste. In the 
n ost admirably.arranged kitchens, scraps 
there must and always will be; and study of a 
cookery book will enable you to use up every¬ 
thing. There is not a cookery book that, does 
not give recipes for rechauffes, all more or less 
tempting. 
The same care applied to wardrobe will les¬ 
sen your toilette expenses likewise. Do not 
buy things because they are pretty or cheap. 
If your dress allowance is large, you may in¬ 
dulge in those tempting “fantasies,” and grat¬ 
ify your love of pretty things freely; but if 
your purse be shallow, beware of any such pit- 
fall. That bonnet may bo lovely, and a real 
bargain, as fur as actual money goes, but it 
will prove a white elephant to you. Remem¬ 
ber, it has not only to “go with” the Sunday 
silk, but ou occasions to smarten your cash 
mere or homespun costume; so think well how- 
far tbut flimsy little lace erectlou, which is 
undeniably pretty with silk, will suit sober 
tweed, Then, if your best jacket is velvet, lie 
careful not to choose a velveteen dress as best 
out-of-door wear for that Winter, and so on. 
All these facts are known, doubtless, hut are 
they acted onNot in every case, or we should 
not so often hear t he cry of “nothing to wear” 
from our girls. A dress that requires a special 
hat or bonnet, cloak, and trimmings is not 
cheap, even at a gift. Wo; when choosing any 
article of dress, just stop for a minute, and 
unless it will really suit with the bulk of your 
raiment, do not buy it, however pretty or 
cheap ,a womau's groat temptation), unless 
you can afford to throw away the price of it. 
ren do enjoy their meals before the heat of 
the Summer comes on; and with plenty of early 
vegetables, asparagus and spinach, lettuce 
and radishes, one can enjoy the first fruits, 
while adding health to the system, by purify¬ 
ing the blood.

A BETTER WAY. 
OF THE 
Once more the glad springtime greets us; 
and, as my eye rests upon the springing grass 
and opening buds of the various trees just 
‘putting out,’ I cannot but think, and ex¬ 
claim, “How good God is!” while a thrill of 
rapture fills my soul, as I realize that His lov¬ 
ing hand made all the beauty. Yet, even in 
my gladness, the picture of many a poor, 
weary, tired housekeeper, who dares hanlly 
spend time to enjoy the beauties around her. 
rises before me, and I feel like stretching out 
helping hands to all such. Well do 1 remem¬ 
ber the time when I, too, thought it almost a 
sin to leave my work long enough to take a 
good, sweet breath of air, or gaze on the love¬ 
liness of Nature. And with this memory be¬ 
fore me, 1 feel safe m predicting that what one 
weak woman has accomplished many another 
stronger one may. There seems to be some¬ 
thing iu the very nature of housework, to 
cause one to become so absorbed by its details 
as to almost lose her Jove for higher and bet¬ 
ter things. The woman of a family is so apt 
to say: “Oh! 1 have no time now to enjoy the 
flue arts, or the beauties of the out door 
world, as I once did.” My sisters, this is not 
right. Woman was never intended to be a 
mere machine, performing her daily duties, 
and findiug herself wholly absorbed by them. 
It is possible to so mingle one’s tastes and en¬ 
joyments with one’s home duties as to find 
them inseparable, and, thirefore, enjoyable. 
As you pick up some bit of work, which you, 
perhaps, have long dreaded, carry it with you 
to an open window or door; let your eyes 
feast upon the beauties of Nature even though 
your hands are busy; or, is it some task you 
cannot thus cany with you? Then, if so, call 
Memory to add her magic, repent, to yourself 
some choicepoem, or trill asong—and, lo! t he 
dreaded piece of work is done quite pleasura¬ 
bly, and with half the labor. 
Never for a moment imagine because 
it may be your lot to labor, that yon cannot 
therefore enjoy God's blessed gifts You are 
the very one who should enjoy them. All 
work, however distasteful, may become corn-

in me nouse tnere nas been the same an¬ 
nual cleaning, slowly performed, and yet 
done without unnecessary worry. At inter¬ 
vals wo run away from it for a single day and 
night to attend the city, wljpre superior music 
filled our souls with rapture, and sent us home 
refreshed and strengthened; and it is ouly 
where such is the case, that, it. is of real ad¬ 
vantage. '1 be close of the house cleaning pro¬ 
cess was to look over our stores, und see what 
is left, to carry us through until the fruit 
season sets in plentifully. And to till some of 
the empty jelly jars, a useful conserve is made 
of lemons. We take one ounce of gelatine, 
put it in a basin, pour over it half a pint ot 
cold water, let that stand two hours, then put 
it in a stew-pan, add six ounces of lump sugar, 
and a little more water, .f necessary; then 
the rind au.l juice of two lemous, a bit of ciu- 
namon, and the whites of two eggs. Beat all 
together, and stir till it comes to a boil, set 
aside ten minutes, and strain through a well 
rinsed jelly bag, slowly, and twice if neces¬ 
sary. It is very refreshing as a change. 
How tired one gets in this world when there 
is but little encouragement! Our Lands hang 
down for want of a word of praise, or a little 
help. We are truly like children, who always 
work better for being told they are doing well, 
and there is every need for country people 
to help each other by word and died, and for 
communities to feel interested in each others’ 
welfare. Now that the weather is warm, and 
those* who are employed in out-of door labor 
are subject to spasms of thirst, we have rec¬ 
ommended the use ot Hereford’* acid phos¬ 
phate as a pleasant drink. A little of it iu 
water with sugar, was quite a tonic last Sum¬ 
mer to the head of this household, and quench¬

water. Some people recommend it for makimr

DOMESTIC RECIPES, 
STAININO FLOORS. 
A month ago I had my dining-room floor 
stained and waxed, and it has given such per¬ 
fect satisfaction that I only wish it had been 
done years ago. One-and a halt ounce of per¬ 
manganate of potush, in crystals, was dissolv¬ 
ed in a gallon of water. This stain was put 
upon the floor with a painter s flat brush, 
working the way of the giaiu of the wood. 
When the floor was perfectly dry, three appll 
cations of linseed oil were given. This was 
well rubbed in with a pieeeof flannel. In two 
days the floor was ready for the wax, which 
was prepared as follows: Cut into bits; just 
cover with turpentine, and set the dish in a 
pan of hot water until the wax has melted; 
then let it get cold, when it will be of the ec n- 
sisteney of thick cream. Rub on with a piece 
of flauuel, and then polish with a polishing 
brush. We used a large scrubbing brush, not 
wishing to go to the expense of buying one for 
the purpose. The polishing is the hard part,. 
Yon can ask each member ofyour family to lend 
a baud at this stage of the work, and 1 have 
small doubt but that each arid all will dr dare 
stained floors “a humbug” before the right de¬ 
gree of polish is attained. But when a floor is 
once thoroughly polished, it takes but little 
labor to keep it looking nicer. mr«. r. u.
