THRY SHOULD STUDY THR GRAMMAR OF HOUSE- KEEFING, Julia Ward Howe says in the Chautauquan: At the eastward a number of single women have no call toward matrimony. At the West young men live as bachelors, or marry quite out of the sphere of their early association. I would remedy this state of things by making it not only possible but ‘out into the whom the ideas of labor and privation shall not be either new or unwelcome, And I would do this by training every young woman, without tion, in the simple tasks and oMices of house! worl ‘This training should begin very early in life.

Such study of drawing and color as circumstances will allow is also very use- ful. But the most important esthetic for the household ts that of perfect neatness and order. ‘That beds, walls, Noors and windows should be Taultlessly clean 'is the first requsite for the taste Of a good housewife. Children can be led to keep this necessity much in mind. Having secured this honest and healthful foundation, let the little girl be trained to such simple adornment of her sur- Foundings as can be had without adaitional ex- nse; the dest arrangement of the family china, the utilizing of materials already at command, the training of a Vine, the setting of a glass of flowers, Such works of art'as the home can afford should be carefully chosen, and their merits and meaning should be explained to the sittle people. ‘Where pocket money can be the mind of the child should be directed to a good use of it.

The hip joints Became involved, so that when seventeen months old ahe could not stand, having lost the ‘use of leg and arm. Partial curvature of thespine also followed. The nervous system was wrecked, muscles contracted, and there was general wast- ing of flesh and muscle. At elghteen months of age she was placed under the treatment of a Prominent physician of Boston, Mans, but at ‘the end of ten months she had declined to such a dogree that she was in a dying condition. This ‘wasin April, 1866. We took the chjld away not knowing what todo.

The ashen hue of her checks has changed to a rosy tint, She is able to walk anywhere, her languor and melan- choly have passed away, and ane is now ablithe, cheerful, happy, romping child.
