There is nothing in which the clreariness and inadequacy of the rlverl- ge housekeeper is more canepkuour than the dnadful monotony, the eternal ropetiéicn of the common piece (mm 3;.» genes to her Buf fearing lmu-‘nhold, it is always ihe same atcry with. her, the “ doesn‘t know” what to have for breakieat, dinner, or supper, but she always does have the same thingsâ€" t‘he Home tried potatoes, the some “ picked up ’ cou’fiah on. the some morning in every wc-ck in the yum; She often uptake of her desire to make “ change” and “ variety,” but nothing is farther from her temperament or her possibilities. She is essentially Weddell to her prejudices, which have made the “rut” in which she runs, like a wheel on a. cox-track, all the year round, to move to the right, or the left, would be to make misehief for her. New facts, new discover- ies, new systems, make no impression upon her ; she continues: to use “ mixed" tea, from habit and prejudice, though she knows that there is no such thing as a natural " green” tka, and that the coloring matter used in making tee. green is poisonous Her family luae their appetites or grow dyspep- tic, but the )outine is the some, the same flat, insipid rice~pudd1ng or apple‘pie, the Hume tough, mendene steak and underdone mutton ; the some doughy bread and oc- casional hot huscuit, which make pellets hard as bullet»! for the stomach to act upon. am} the heme mixture of chickory and hot water for true coffee. It would not seem possible for the house- keeper who lives in this rut to surprise her household occeeionally with fresh, steaming cocoa for breakfami;g instead of what she calls “ coffee,” or, with light, delicious ricecskes, or with well-boiled hominy, in“I stead of the ever recurring oatmeal, or with rice fritters, a richer rice-pudding, in place of the fist, sloppy concectiou of something floating in curdled milk and water, which she (not jokingly) calls pudding. h»: Indeed, the housekeeper who lives in a. rut never jokes, life is a srrious business with her, as it is to the unfortunate mem- bers of her family. She is never inspired with an idea, would not act upon it, if she had one, for their benefit, because it would give her “ trimmerâ€"everything that has to he done, or that is done, is a. trouble to her. Life itself is a. burden, because she always carries it in the same plaer and the fact that people eat, and must eat, and that she has to look after W hat they eat, is a never ending grievance. She has no pleasure in the infinite variety which the markets afford, in the changes which the seasons bring, it only means that something costs more, or less, generally more, and gives her afresh source of trouble. The temper of mind, produces its natural effect upon the body ; such a woman is apt to be sick, and is always “ nervous,” the modern term for cross, and the habit of look- ing out for the unpl-xasnnt side of things, instead of their bright and cheerful side. -â€"(iuod food, food that tastes well, and di- gests well, is the most important factor in the general health and happiness of the household. To obtain it, the personal supervision and assistance of an intelligent mistress of the house is needed, a. woman with a. “ genius” for housekeeping. the genius being simply the capacity for taking any amount of trouble in order to do things as they should be done, and not making trouble of it. In a country so prolific as ours, every one ought to live well, and it is popularly supposed that every one does, but there is probably no country in the world where so littir satisfaction is obtained from the amount expended, and the reason lies largelyin the ignoraz-ce or indifference of the household's mistress ; her failure to understand her duty, and make the most of hr! opportunities. BRO LED SAUSAGES â€" Splifi them in two lengthwise; place them butween a daubie wire broiler and broil on the flat sides first ; the». turn and bloil on tho ether ; arrange a mound of hot apple sauce in thé centre of a hot, flat dhxh, arrange the sausages upon it and nerve. One of the disagreeable features about manager; is the ordlnm‘ mode of cook- ing, which is to fry 151mm. ha spattermg {at cnvera the range, and the ascending amoke fills the houva. This may be avoided by simply putting the sausages in a baking pan and (making them in the oven, In this Way you avoid all smoke and disingreeable odor.

An eminent physician is reported as hav- ing said that many lives are lent by starva- tion owing to an overestimate of the nutrlv tive value of beefâ€"tea and meatjuical. In typhus and typhoid fevers, he says, thaw is no good aubgtitute for milk and eggs. Articles of food fried in drippbgl are not only more palatable than those fried in lard, but more wholesome. Indeed there are many persons whose stomachs will fight against any food fried in lard, yet take kinély to thm; where dripping has bcen used. It may be utilized too not oniy for frying, but for pastry purposes, in the making of which good beef-dripping is far preferable to the common butter.

A palr of boots or shoes thoroughly soaked are not easy to dry Without being left in an uncomfurtahly still; if not ahrunken con- dition.

SCIENTIEIG. If I could only how: one packet of flower seed it should be the Pansy with its maegnifi~ ocnoe of color and rich velvet beauty. Some people see various faces in every pansy, but. to me they resemble a young girl of plquunta beauty to whom rich dress is becoming, and now mid th: 11 I have seen a. pansy girl. it in called viola tricolor, from the triple color of the flower, which derived its name from the French pansee, E thought, from its habit oz hanging its hch as ii in n thoughtful atti- tude.

They are readily propaga- ted by cuttings, layers, or dividing the roots, and in some conditions the cuttings make the best plants, if broken where t‘ ey snap easily and put into warm and Plants that are aeak the first year often do their best rho second spring, and the best protection during winter is found to he leaves or ever- gretn branches Some years ago a. double pansy was introduced, but it was 8. mon- strosity and possessed no beauty apart from the novelty of the flower. The first atten- tion given to the pansy as a flcriat’s flOWer was by a womanâ€" a Miss Bennct, and in her father’s garden she had a little bed where new varieties were propagated. From this small beginning the; rage commenced for this beautifnl flower, Without which no garden is complete. A friend If mine to whom the pansy is the lovliest of ii more, has them in mldwinter by keeping a small be?"- in a sheltered spot nenr the house, and keeping them covered with evergreen branches that are put on before frost destroys the blossoms and buds.
